Jock Bruce was a virtuoso!
His music died, due to the thorn that pierced his heart.
He died due to combination of needing love , and the Fentanyl Epidemic!
I got to know Jock Bruce as he collapsed in Carroll County, of his first fentanyl overdose after he obtained it in BALTIMORE CITY, MARYLAND!
His death was one I felt deeply. It broke my heart. I still try to cope with his death.
I saw him as a young man that I could have adopted at a younger age.
He was full of a sense of hopelessness and a longing for belonging. He longed for a fatherly role model.
He worked two jobs. To get by. But he could not overcome his deep depression. We need drug courts. Yes. We need counseling services! Yet we need to attack the fatherless family!
We can not ignore this problem any longer.
We must confront and combat this Epidemic of pain & suffering headlong.

The Cure for Inflation- ↗ (opens davewallace.us at this heading)
GOLD!
More precisely
The Gold Standard Act!
I am the candidate who will Introduce and be the lead sponsor of the Gold Standard Act.
From the moment of the Nixon Shock — the moment America went off the Gold Standard— in 1971, The American Dollar Lost 85% in the 10 years hence. That is, from 1971-1981 you and I lost 85% of our buying power! We need to bring sanity to our American Monetary Policy. So I propose and will be the chief Sponsor of the original Gold Standard Act of 1984. Originally introduced by Jack Kemp, and co-sponsored by Congressmen Vin Weber, Connie Mack and House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
With one stroke of the pen, we will handcuff the Entire Federal Reserve. We will save the US Economy! We will prevent the further erosion of the US Dollar. Our economy’s furnace will be regulated by the Gold Standard Thermostat. We will arrest the devaluation of the dollar using the precious metal, Gold! Gold has withstood multiple millennia! Yet no one realized the axiom “If ain’t Broke, don’t fix it!”
And in attempting to cure the ills of failed fiscal policy of the Lyndon B. Johnson presidency, namely the Fiscal imprudence of the Great Society, that imposed Socialism 1.0, the key adviser to Nixon, the egotistical, John Connolly set about the novice Nixon on “Fixing” the Monetary System by untethering the dollar. The result was the destruction of the value of our US dollar. The only person who got it was federal reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan who actually employed the de facto Gold Standard while he watched over monetary policy. He admitted so much in the most recent 5-7 years.
When the idea was floated by President Trump, that he would nominate Steve Moore to the federal Reserve, the Imbeciles and liars at CNN, where Steve Worked, pulled out the knives to skewer him. They made horrible personal attacks against Steve Moore who they thought he would push to employ the Gold Standard, and that he would be a threat to their fiat currency. Fiat Currency is Government’s way of imposing taxes without one single vote of Congress!Today, we have an opportunity to change all that, I will not cower, I will not be intimidated!
I will stand up for the American people, I will fight to restore the Gold Standard to protect your buying power. I will lead this crusade to protect our Dollar and all Americans buying power. We will end inflation in its tracks.

Official FEC filing record for the current cycle. The priorities they publish are quoted from their own site, in their order.
Statements are quoted from these pages exactly. Headings, order and wording are the campaign’s; the record marking is ours.
A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 28 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $16K.
Each loan as the campaign’s report through Oct 14, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.
The largest of the committees is listed. In all, 1 committee contribution was filed this cycle, totaling $1K. Counted from the givers' own filings, which can run above the total the campaign itself reports.
Total reported receipts $29,269
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. Open a source marked + to see who gave. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 7 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 17 contributions · 71% of ranked | $11,354 |
| 1 contribution · 9.4% of ranked | $1,500 |

Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($4,084) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Total itemized disbursements $19,294
Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
