The board already approved the name change @kencen the way these judges go after @realDonaldTrump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un American they are -Grow Up & stop wasting everyone's time on your politics
also fyi from @LauraLoomer - Dorothy Ames Jeffress, the wife of Judge Christopher R. Cooper, the Obama-appointed judge who just ordered the removal of President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center, served as the attorney for both Lisa Page and Nancy Pelosi. yet another example of a “Get Trump” ruling by another leftist activist judge with an anti-Trump wife.
Do they not realize 🇺🇸 wants @realDonaldTrump to win? Stop handicapping him & playing politics

Lmao. Truth.

[James E. Thorne @DrJStrategy]

Let’s be honest.

Warsh at the Fed.

Kevin Warsh’s arrival at the Federal Reserve is not a personnel change. It is a regime change attempt inside an institution built to prevent one. A supply-sider now runs a central bank hard-wired for Keynesian demand management, and the machine is already resisting the new code.

The next mistake is visible in plain sight. Keynesians on Wall Street and inside the Fed are treating a supply shock as if it were a demand boom and calling for tighter money. This is dogma masquerading as seriousness. A chokepoint in the Strait of Hormuz, a jump in energy prices, and a cost shock rolling through transport, food, and manufacturing are not evidence of overheated demand. They are evidence of a damaged supply side.

Monetary policy cannot reopen a shipping lane. It cannot pump more oil. It cannot repeal geopolitics. It can only crush demand somewhere else, usually with a lag, and usually in the most interest-rate-sensitive corners of the economy first, housing, commercial real estate, capital spending, and durables. Those sectors did not close the Strait. They are simply first in line to pay for the Fed’s intellectual mistakes.

That is the Keynesian reflex in its purest form. Every price spike becomes “inflation.” Every inflation scare requires a rate move. Every rate move is advertised as proof of resolve. It is nonsense. A change in relative prices caused by a supply shock is not the same thing as an inflationary spiral. Pretending otherwise is how central banks turn an external shock into a domestic recession.

Machiavelli explained why change is so hard. The innovator makes enemies of everyone who did well under the old order and wins only lukewarm defenders among those who might benefit from the new. Christensen gave the same warning in corporate language. Incumbent institutions kill disruptive change because their processes, incentives, and prestige are built around the existing model.

That is the real problem Warsh faces. The resistance is not incidental. It is structural.

The test for Warsh is not whether he can sound tough on television. It is whether he can resist the Wall Street catechism that every supply shock must be met with tighter money. If he hikes rates into a supply-driven price spike to prove his anti-inflation credentials, he will not have broken with the Keynesian regime. He will have submitted to it.

This is not the 1970s. Expectations are not unanchored, and the productive economy is already scarred by years of policy excess, fiscal decadence, and institutional bias.

The hope is that Warsh understands the difference between inflation and a supply shock, ignores the Keynesian pundits, and refuses to compound one policy error with another.

For the record.

Bitcoin and the metagame investors are missing.

Bitcoin’s biggest risk is not volatility. It is that investors keep staring at the ticker and miss the regime change happening behind it.

Investors still obsess over Bitcoin’s daily price action when they should be watching the metagame instead.

The real contest is not whether BTC is 10 per cent higher or lower this week, but who sets the rules that will determine whether it ends up embedded in the next monetary system or exiled to the fringe. In Bitcoin, the metagame is the fight over regulation, the risk‑free curve and reserve architecture, the next Bretton Woods, in which Bitcoin is a design lever for the system rather than a meme for speculators.

Day‑to‑day volatility is just surface noise on a deeper contest over whether a dollar‑centric, higher‑yield, digitally native order absorbs Bitcoin as pristine collateral and settlement infrastructure, or tries to exclude it and hand that frontier to rivals.

Yes, Bitcoin is digital gold and a powerful store of value. But stopping there is comforting and wrong. A credibly finite, bearer asset that can move globally without central permission is an explicit challenge to a model built on elastic, centrally managed money and opaque credit creation. It is not just another risk asset; it is a standing referendum on the credibility of the fiat regime and the willingness of states to live with an asset they cannot print, haircut or easily confiscate. Underneath that challenge sits the ledger itself. Blockchain is the most significant innovation in record keeping since double‑entry bookkeeping displaced the abacus, replacing fallible, local ledgers with a tamper‑resistant, globally auditable record and changing who controls the books, who can create credit against them and how trust is enforced.

This is where politics stops being background noise and becomes the plot. The Biden–Warren–Powell era of suppressing crypto through enforcement, delay and regulatory fog is over. President Trump has made it explicit that he wants the United States to become the crypto capital of the world, and a Warsh‑led Fed that is openly pro‑Bitcoin would reinforce that shift. The project is not to overthrow the dollar but to use digital assets and blockchain rails to support King Dollar, to build a Bretton Woods 2.0 that makes the dollar higher‑yielding, more programmable and harder to dislodge.

If the CLARITY Act passes and creates a serious federal framework for digital assets, regulation stops being a constraint and becomes a weapon: a 1990s‑style Telecommunications Act for digital finance, unleashing capital, infrastructure and credit creation onto these rails. In that world, Bitcoin is no longer a hobby for libertarians. It becomes part of the default collateral stack in a higher‑yield, dollar‑centric system that entrenches, rather than undermines, American monetary hegemony.

Everyone buys Bitcoin at the price they deserve.

Dave: "Hello caller, you're on the air."

Caller: "I put half my savings into Bitcoin in 2020."

Dave: "Oh no. How much did you lose?"

Caller: "It's up 600%."

Dave: "Well you got lucky. It's not a real asset."

Caller: "What makes something a real asset?"

Dave: "It has to hold value over time."

Caller: "Bitcoin is up 1,000,000% since 2010."

Dave: "That's speculation."

Leaked phone call from January 4, 2025 (3 days before the devastating Palisades Fire)

The call is between Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and John Alle, a property manager and whistleblower in the Pacific Palisades, Westlake and MacArthur Park areas

John Alle contacted Karen Bass to warn her about extreme fire risks due to weather conditions like high winds and dry brush

Karen Bass tells him to “read between the lines,” “hold tight,” and that “you will understand soon.”

She knew something was coming, almost like a planned fire (many believe the land grab)

This call is interpreted as her knowing serious fire danger was imminent but not wanting to discuss what was about to happen openly….

Very cryptic

🇮🇷 Iran is charging $2M per ship to cross the Strait of Hormuz and they want it in Bitcoin. 😳

At $72,000 per $BTC, each ship = 27.7 BTC.
Pre-crisis, 130 ships crossed daily.

• Daily: 3,611 BTC
• Monthly: 108,333 BTC
• Yearly: 1.3 million BTC

The entire Bitcoin network only mines 450 BTC per day.

Iran would accumulate 8x the monthly mining supply. Every month.

A sanctioned nation building a Bitcoin treasury through a toll booth.

This is the most important geopolitical Bitcoin story nobody is talking about. 🔥

The only secret to passing the SAVE America Act is time and willpower.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed after a 72 day filibuster.

After only 6 days on the Senate floor, Democrats are already looking for an exit.

Don’t let up.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

The fuse is lit

We’re turning to the SAVE America Act tomorrow

There can be no turning back

No zombie filibusters

Once we’re on the bill, we shouldn’t recess—even for the weekend—until this is done

Trump agrees

Proof of citizenship and voter ID must become law

Pass it on

Don't make final decisions about leaving California until November's election. When I'm governor we will open up California oil and gas production so we can keep refineries open and get gas prices down.

JD Vance should replace John Thune as Senate Majority Leader.

It's his Constitutional right, as Vice President. John Adams did it for 4 whole years.

We could ram through the entire MAGA agenda before midterms.

Let's make it happen.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

🚨We can’t let what’s happening in Iran distract us from the need to:

(1) put the SAVE America Act on the Senate floor,

(2) make filibustering senators speak, and

(3) stay on it until it passes

Millions of Californians have been sent ballots that show if they vote No on Prop 50. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable. A secret ballot is vital for democracy.

Gavin Newsom's rushed, unconstitutional Prop 50 election must be SUSPENDED until all ballot irregularities are fixed.

In 2001 Leader Trent Lott fired the Senate Parliamentarian during reconciliation.

It’s 2025 during reconciliation & we need to again fire the Senate Parliamentarian.

My resolution to term limit the parliamentarian will settle this now & in the future.
