Really? This tired antisemitic conspiracy theory again? Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the European Central Bank, are public institutions, not private enterprises owned by any single family or entity.

Continuing with the music.

if you don't speak Spanish or were just highly distracted by Ricky Martin's beauty (cara hermosa), here's an English version of the song he sang at the Superbowl. A plea to preserve Puerto Rico

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

I think the song is doing well on the Folk Music charts but I agree this video should go viral

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Interesting

Disgraced Rep. Henry Cuellar, recently pardoned by Trump (Fed corruption related to conspiracy, bribery & money laundering) has a brother Martin charged today with conspiracy, theft of Federal funds & money laundering in his role as Webb County Sheriff

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

I've heard that if you select the video in Hegseth's tweet, copy it, and paste it into Bluesky, you get the unredacted video of the 2nd missile strike on the Venezuelan fishermen

Only in the way that a serial killer that shoots his victims is "moderate" compared to one that tortures them to death. He's still a demon

If ICE agents come onto my campus, or the campus of K-12 schools, I want the school to use active shooter protocols: lock them out, hide the kids and staff, and call the police to inform them of armed gunmen on campus.

This coke NEVER runs out in this administration. It's the reason their craziest tweets come at 2am. Word is they ship it up from El Salvador on emptied out ICE planes
