Thanks for the link which has several statements that are false There is not enough time to go into them but the link is misleading The macroeconomists at the Fed have no clue about what the gold standard means ie the establishment's position is that the current fiat currency is a viable alternative There are problems with this position 1 With egregious overspending over the last 5 decades with QE to bail us out when recessions hit eg 2000 and 2008 the dollar has lost 90-95% of its purchasing power since 1971 This has led to an inflationary spiral that the Fed will not be able to correct with fiddling with interest rates 2 Gold has no counterparty risk whereas the currency does which makes it a perfect standard for any currency 3 Western economies are currently in the largest debt/credit bubble in history and with the equity market responding as it is now with the tariff scheme this bubble is bursting and when people find out that their currency has no value what will follow will be a currency crisis Then the fiat currency fiasco will be exposed Obviously the Fed doesn't want the public to understand that the currency has no value and only spared scrutiny due to public trust or acceptance that it does have value
Gold only has a specified value if everyone agrees it does and trades it at that value. Its value fluctuates, too. The difference is that it is a tangible object no matter where it is mined, refined, stored, or traded.
The price of gold is a reflection of the dolllar's purchasing power The reason that gold is up is because the purchasing power of the dollar is going down and hence spiraling inflation Essentially gold is money with no counterparty risk Even though the price of gold fluctuates over a long period of time it holds steady with respect to the price of a barrel of oil
A dictator--just as he announced he would do on "Day 1." It's so obvious that he's committed treason and is following orders from Putin. When is congress going to wake up and remove him?
We have to promise our Representatives and Senators that they will be primaried if the don't stop Trump and his unconstitutional policies and illegal actions.
They didn't cover the protests because the billionaires and millionaires who own them are not interested in really informing Americans what is going on that truly matters!!!
Don't spend more than you have to . That the only way this billionaires learn a lessons, but if some keep spending ,than don't cry why inflation went up , because they vote for Trump
Isn’t it incredible that someone with such a low intelligence level can cause world wide havoc. Every day when I wake up I think what evil deed is Trumpolina going to do today. The meeting with Netanyahu yesterday was excruciating to watch. He must surely hold the record of being the most obnoxious, mendacious and ugly creature that ever lived.
"Trump Plans $92 Million Military Parade—Honoring Himself.
Donald Trump is pulling straight from the dictator’s playbook."
"Tell Trump: Do not hold $92 million military parade for yourself!"
"Trump reportedly planning massive military parade honoring himself on his birthday.
The Washington City Paper, citing an unnamed DC source, reports that the MAGA cult leader has chosen June 14, 2025 — the 250th anniversary of the US Army, Flag Day, and definitely not coincidentally also his own 79th birthday — as the day he will finally (FINALLY!) take the training wheels of his dictator-tot-mobile and get his very own, big-boy military parade.
Trump famously tried to organize a military parade during his first term, after witnessing one in Paris in 2017, but the $92 million price tag understandably raised more than few eyebrows among military leaders and Pentagon officials, who were less inclined to placate the autocratic narcissist's every whim and want, at the time.
With more MAGA sycophants installed and fewer voices of reason at the table, we doubt there will be nearly as much pushback this time around."
To all the blind sycophants that supported Authoritarianism vs Democracy, this is what I think of you attending this circus/Birthday fisaco.
What America will be witnessing while Traitor Trump parades, is a bunch of blind cult followers making a mockery out of the Rule of Law. This shit show is being put on by a bunch of losers, just like the twice impeached, 34 count felon, rapist cult leader Traitor/Fascist Trump. The Traitor Trump does not even care if you are here, it is just you performing for the Circus Master like a pack of trained dogs. You send Billionaires money that he puts in his pocket to paid for his now four Legal Indictments and to make billionaires richer.
Try these losers, just try to cross the line set up by the police, get your ass thrown in jail and see if he pays for your legal fees. WTF is wrong with all of you, oh yeah, YOU ARE IN A CULT.
I post this on a regular basis. America should be aware that this is not normal but is profoundly true and dangerous:

Me too!!!! But they will come back and my hope is over time we get them the treatment they need and a big fat lawsuit!!!!! Look at how ny handled the 3 kids and mom being deported. 1000 people came out to protest in a 1200 person town. 11 days they r back. It's something.
Trust me I don't. We need someone to stop the illegal deportation. Idk how or who. But this is un American. Now they got the irs involved. That's so vicious.

That's the thing he said that he did! Dictator day 1.
Is he ROBBING THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY
BLIND? Is he pocketing every dime we have … HE IS SPENDING EVERYTHING WE HAVE! On HIMSELF.. 🤬🤬🤦♀️🤦♀️🫣🫣
Yes, please explain how spending likely millions to hold a birthday military parade is helping government efficiency?
At the very least, he can probably afford to buy a better set of golf clubs
Won’t improve his shitty game any 😂
The toddler in chief always needs an excuse. I figured new golf clubs is as good as any.
🤪
🫣😂
The MSM didn't cover the Hands Off protests because it was peaceful. Sadly, there must be violence for them to pay attention.
They didn't cover the protests because the billionaires and millionaires who own them are not interested in really informing Americans what is going on that truly matters!!!
I concede to your more astute take.
Don't spend more than you have to . That the only way this billionaires learn a lessons, but if some keep spending ,than don't cry why inflation went up , because they vote for Trump
I thought he was hobnobbing, grifting and golfing with the Saudis and his maga sycophants and later holding a million dollar dinner.
