Yet another data point supporting the view that there is change afoot in the global financial system.
I know it's trite, but this is all "how to dismantle a reserve currency."
The dollar as the go-to haven in times of crisis, well, that appears (again) to be shaky.

Just want to make sure that people understand, this guy isn't saying this because he's ignorant or stupid, he's saying it because he does not believe we should live in a free society. That is the entire Republican Party. They do not believe in living in a free society.

Whatever performative bullshit Jeffries did with respect to his own vote notwithstanding, not whipping this vote and allowing Democrats to be the difference between it passing and failing means that Jeffries doesn't give a fuck about what ICE is doing.

They hate it being talked about because it undermines the Big Lie that the rise in inequality was due to the "free market." There is nothing free market about government-granted patent and copyright monopolies. But you aren't even allowed to say that in major media outlets.

"What we're going to have is a real-world experience of when unvaccinated people get measles," he said. "What is the new incidence of hospitalization? What's the incidence of death?"

Danes were in Helmand before Marines were.
43 Danes gave the last full measure of devotion because the U.S. asked and we had been attacked.
