While today’s politicians pledge nothing and risk even less…

56 men in 1776 pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

And they delivered.

No empty virtue signals.

No safe spaces or excuses

Just raw courage and total commitment.

Zero defectors.

That’s how freedom was purchased.

We owe them everything. Never forget. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Her husband, a previously low-level, poorly paid public-sector employee, Dmytro Khandusenko, has been responsible for auditing all the $$$ spent on Ukraine's military procurement and wartime spending during its ongoing war with Russia.

Basically, he's the guy who's supposedly auditing all the mountains of taxpayer money that the US and other countries have been forking over to Ukraine....and here is his wife tossing $150K into the air on stage as though it's nothing.

Again, we're supposed to believe that this newly minted multimillionaire living an opulently funded lifestyle (mansions, luxury cars, expensive jewelry, etc.) achieved it on his modest annual salary of $23,000 (USD).

Nothing to see here.

If you hate billionaires, go all the way, pussy.

Ditch the iPhone, the laptop, the tablet.
Get off the internet.
No Amazon, no big box stores, no Starbucks.
Grow your own food. Thrift your clothes. Walk everywhere.

And obviously no working for, buying from, or interacting with any company that scales beyond a farmers market.

Enjoy your abundance.

Taxes are a punishment for the working class and a reward for the unemployed.

Want some truth?

There are ~195 sovereign countries in the World and all 195 have had slavery.

But…

Out of those 195 countries the United States is the only one that fought a full scale Civil War to end it.

GB News’ Alex Armstrong laid out the geopolitical map that American media refuses to draw: this war isn’t about toppling Iran. It’s about 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 — and America is winning on every front.

Start with oil. The Strait of Hormuz carries 𝟒𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚’𝐬 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. Trump effectively captured Venezuela’s oil supply in January. As Armstrong put it: “𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯. 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴.” China is in the middle of a tariff negotiation with Trump — and suddenly its entire energy supply depends on American goodwill.

Then Europe. With Russian energy off the table and domestic energy hollowed out by the “𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘵 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰,” Europe is becoming 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐬. Armstrong: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘰.”

Armstrong connected the dots to what the Pentagon calls 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 — Greenland through the Panama Canal, the entire Western Hemisphere secured as a self-sufficient American economic and security zone. “𝘕𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦-𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢.”

The most striking part was his warning for Britain: “𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺. 𝘞𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 60% 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥. 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺. 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥.” He described Britain heading toward 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 as America withdraws from its traditional role.

When a foreign ally’s own news anchors are publicly acknowledging that Trump’s strategy is working — even as it leaves them behind — that tells you everything about who has the leverage.

I don't know who needs to hear this (well, actually I do) but the Defense Dept spending money on shellfish, ice cream, and steak for servicemembers at war, many of whom have been at sea for a long time already, is not a scandal. This is just basic taking care of the troops.

Has anyone tried turning Congress off and back on yet? I think it might be broken.

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

Now that inflation is under 1%, it is obvious that the Fed should do an emergency 50 basis point cut.

They don’t have the luxury of waiting longer.

Artificial intelligence is accelerating, which means the deflationary force is only going to get stronger and more pervasive.

You can think of this as a virus. Once it was unleashed, it cannot be contained and it will not slow down. The only thing we can do is address the threat using other measures within our control.

Companies and people are economically incentivized to use A.I. more. The A.I. tools are starting to exponentially produce more A.I. products and services (ex: Claude Code, etc). Google “exponential curve” if you want to see how fast this will compound.

There needs to be an immediate, aggressive rate cut by the Fed or they risk a deflationary situation.

Consumer prices of various goods will come down, which is a positive outcome, but wages can fall, unemployment can rise, debt becomes more burdensome, and there is a potential for a deflationary spiral.

50 basis point emergency rate cut.

Immediately.

[Daniel Lacalle Official Account @dlacalle_IA]

Powell presided over one of the worst periods of Fed mistakes:

❌ Massively easing in the middle of a forced lockdown. By far the largest QE seen before.
❌Perpetuating ultra-loose policy into a government spending frenzy that caused the worst inflationary spiral in recent history.
❌ Hiking rates too fast, hurting families and SMEs, but keeping loose liquidity measures to ensure government indebtedness was easier.
❌ Cutting rates massively in an election year without data to support it.
❌Delaying rate cuts due to a false narrative about tariffs.

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

Tariffs drive revenue.

Weaker dollar offsets tariffs.

AI smacks economy with deflationary effect.

GDP surges higher.

Inflation never shows up.

It ain’t that hard.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

A weaker US Dollar helps drive:

1. Looser financial conditions (rate cuts)

2. Higher nominal GDP growth

3. Higher asset prices

4. Higher US exports and a lower trade deficit

5. Easier debt servicing for the US government

This is why Trump said the Dollar is doing "great."

The Rolex 24 viewer experience on Peacock is intolerably bad. Excessive commercial breaks and many of those breaks are just music with a "coverage will resume shortly" graphic.

The few people tuning in deserve so much better.
