yall think that is remotely on the table for this admin? or is the Fed simply to insulated to external meddling?
Too much money, not enough gold. Knox has refused auditing for decades and the thought is part or all of it was sold off under the table to deal with the oil crisis.
 
It's complicated if you never took physical science (chemistry). You read what professionals have written and go from there.
To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for
all men, — that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for
the inmost in due time becomes the outmost,—— and our first thought is rendered back to us
by the trumpets of the Last Judgment. Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the
highest merit we ascribe to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naught books and
traditions, and spoke not what men but what they thought. A man should learn to detect
and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre
of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it
is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to
us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us
than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored
inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, to-morrow a
stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the
time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.

Of all the people that deserved any kind of power, it was RFJ.

This will always be a historic moment for me.....

So much of the deepstate's control stems from them psyopping artificial hate between americans and there neighbours. Left and Right wing populist who interests align way more than the establishment factions of either party would like us to believe.


RFK JR's confirmation is the average people of this great nation coming together to take back the country for themselves. Crazy how Trump is a great unifier!! Transparency and healing the divide the country is coming together and it's going to be unbelievable!!
 
Speaking of prices, gas prices in my area are the lowest they've been in months. The drilling will continue until the economy improves.
All the hand-wringing about gas prices here proved to be a nothing burger 🍔 I filledup the other day for $2.95/gallon when prices were supposedly $3.15 on average.
Everyone has policy issues with this administration, myself included, but these are absolute wins on the board and with an effectiveness that cannot be denied. It’s insane, they’re gonna start running up the score on bringing Americans home and it’s some of the most patriotic moments I’ve felt in a long time.
Agreed. There were aspects of Trump's first presidency I didn't like but he still did things I liked. I like the fact he appears to have started working to accomplish things as soon as he was president-elect and didn't wait until inauguariton day/

I understand that it would be a monumental task, but have other tasks not been seen as monumental? The deportation of illegals, the tariffs, the peace talks between Trump and Russia

It can be done. Make colleges return to being learning institutions with purely academic focus instead of the "campus experinece" bullshit it currently pedals. College isn't expensive, what is expensive is paying for the frivolous shit like bands, dorms, campuses, ect. I won't include sports because that actually pays for itself but I think it should be removed as well. Make schools downsize and focus only on education and research and the costs would go down. Eliminating the fat means the teachers who teach bullshit soft sciences and arts are out of a job
Many public universities have taken it on themselves to be bastions of social justice. Some around here will give illegal families in-resident tuition and they have other social programs that they constantly shill donations for in order to help underprivileged students. Some seem to be worthwhile on the surface, others on the other hand...

I think the reason trump is talking about administering Gaza and relocating the people is largely a pressure tactic in regards to Hamas holdouts and threatening to remove their human shields/clear the way to implode their tunnel networks.
I heard something similar that he makes ridiculous statements such as this as a way to get the other side to negotiate something that's far more reasonable.

There were a lot of people there who honestly just needed spiritual community, but the whole service consisted of pop culture references and self-flagellation over innane shit.
A number or older traditional churches of various Christian denominations have closed over the years due to declining membership. Many reopen as some flavor of non-denominational Christianity. However, the atmosphere and sermons are more of a pep talk or motivational speech that mentions God and Jesus every now and then because it's better to do that than to tell people what behavior they should embrace or avoid in current pop culture.
(Edited to add missing phrase.)

Having thousands of nuclear missiles seems like overkill. Is it just some way to waste money on grifting? I understand maintaining enough for "mutually assured destruction", but after that it is pointless. Not blowing money for no reason is an easy win.
It's not just the amount of missiles, it is also your delivery systems. It's the reason we have our nuclear armed sub fleet, that the Russians have Perimeter, so that even the most thought out decapitation strike can't account for a bunch of roving subs around the world each with the power to annihilate a continent.

Captain Planet would be proud.

Nuclear weapons have a built in shelf life. They are only reliable for so long.
journalists are retarded and don't account for this, so every nuclear weapon ever is kept in the count.
