Crazy its been 20 years since they had right track above wrong direction lmao.

Going to be hard for the media to press on the new tariffs like the old ones because they will all be due to what other countries do. If other countries are fair with us then we will be fair with them if they want to do some insane 290% tariff on dairy or whatever then we will do the same.
Rasmussen, too. They almost alone correctly polled Trump's elections.
 
RFK just said "restoring our health TO THE GOLD STANDARD" and you know how he speaks, I thought for a moment he said

"we are going back on the gold standard"

made my dick hit the bottom of my desk before my higher cognitive functions realized what was actually being said

yall think that is remotely on the table for this admin? or is the Fed simply to insulated to external meddling?

This ugly piece of shit doesn't look cheap to make.
A lot of these post-modern shitpieces are just ridiculously expensive to make and are just statements made by retarded architects pushing the limits of cutting edge building design.

See: The Kunsthaus Graz in Austria. Actual name for this abomination is "Blob Architecture". Likely cost? 50 MILLION. In 2003.

Looks just as bad if not more hostile at night, and it's attached like a parasite to an existing decent looking building built in 1848. It's made to be as offensive to and a rejection of everything beautiful around it. This isn't just an assumption, they openly admitted this:
The Kunsthaus Graz emerged as a response to the city's designation as the European Capital of Culture in 2003, a moment that provided an unprecedented opportunity for urban and cultural transformation. At the heart of this initiative was an international competition, launched in 1999, intending to design a museum gallery that would incorporate the historic Iron House (Eiserne Haus) and reimagine Graz's identity. The competition received 102 submissions from internationally acclaimed architects, including Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Morphosis, and Klaus Kada, showcasing a wide array of architectural philosophies. Chaired by Austrian architect Volker Giencke, the jury comprised esteemed figures such as Odile Decq, Kasper König, and Harald Szeemann, among others. After rigorous deliberation, the panel unanimously selected Peter Cook and Colin Fournier's bold design. Their proposal stood out not for conforming to the city's architectural traditions but for boldly defying them. As the jury remarked:
Don't worry though, it's GREEN™️.
Beyond its structural sophistication, the Kunsthaus embraces environmental responsibility through the integration of sustainable technologies. Photovoltaic panels on the roof contribute to the building's energy needs, aligning with contemporary architectural priorities that balance aesthetic ambition with ecological awareness. This convergence of form, technology, and sustainability underscores the Kunsthaus's role as a forward-thinking cultural institution.

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.
