US Elections (& Politics) :)

Its truly amazing to watch the paid and viral "Anti-Fed" campaign develop.

The number of people reciting what they're been told to recite is, without a fucking clue what they're talking about, astonishing.

The FED is our problem they say. If they drop rates it will fix male pattern baldness. :rofl:


I believe it was the CEO of Camping World I heard on the radio this morning saying that the interest rate has a lot of companies in limbo land. He said they are only a $7B dollar company (relatively small company) but a 1/4 point in the rate frees up $800M for them to hire, invest, upgrade, etc. but for now they are in limbo due to the rate.
 
The STOCK MARKET is in limbo. They need more fake news to take it higher.

True, businesses will always want lower borrowing rates. That’s how we got here. Rates were too low for too long. They don’t pass those savings from lower borrowing rates on to you and me.

Real America won’t notice a 1-2pt cut but company stock valuations will

Most healthcare insurance companies said they are raising premiums this year by 10% but Americans are paying $1.50/dozen less for eggs.

Inflation must be under control!



Clearly the insurance companies need to hire more chickens

Regarding the starving in Gaza, I saw this post on another forum.

"The most obvious missed observation is the MSM blames Israel, while Egypt shares a border with Gaza that it keeps firmly shut, and yet no complaints about Egypt are made."

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Confirms Explosive 2020 Election Fraud Revelations Coming — Feds Knew About Voting Machine Vulnerabilities and Stayed Silent (VIDEO)
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that the 2020 election was compromised, and the federal government knew about it.

Earlier this year, during a high-level Cabinet meeting with President Trump, she disclosed that the Intelligence Community has been investigating election interference and tampering with electronic voting systems, including signs of foreign and domestic actors manipulating vote totals.

“I’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them,” Gabbard said.

She continued, “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections.”

Appearing on Benny Johnson’s show, Gabbard revealed that a whistleblower from CISA (the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) came forward with alarming evidence showing the government was aware of massive vulnerabilities in electronic voting machines ahead of the 2020 election, but deliberately chose to stay silent.

Benny Johnson: You made a comment at a Cabinet secretary meeting that has stuck with our audience, and they’d really love an update on it. It’s about the 2020 election. You were talking about the security of that election, and you were telling President Trump that there has been evidence that has been uncovered in—of—well, potential breaches.

I’m not exactly certain, but I’d love a follow-up on this. Here’s the moment right here. And perhaps—do you have any updates on the 2020 election or anything that you’ve found, Director?

Tulsi Gabbard: The point that I was making there in the Cabinet meeting was early discovery that I had seen from a whistleblower who came forward—who was working under CISA at that time, which is responsible for critical infrastructure and trying to protect against cyber vulnerabilities. Critical infrastructure includes, of course, the integrity of our election systems.

What was interesting was seeing how this whistleblower brought forward information that CISA—at that time, the federal government—was aware of vulnerabilities in our election machines, but they chose not to disclose that information to the American people or to the administration at that time.

This is an area, of course, of critical importance—once again—for the American people to have faith in the integrity of our elections, and that it is their voice that is heard through these elections. We’re continuing to investigate this, and when we have information that we are ready to release, you’ll hear about it.

Benny Johnson: Okay, so we’re going to be hearing more on the 2020 election and some critical vulnerabilities?

Tulsi Gabbard: Yes.

 
Amb. Huckabee: 'GHF delivers more than one million meals a day, an incredible feat'
Steve Witkoff posted on X that he met yesterday with Israeli officials to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

"Today, we spent over five hours inside Gaza — level setting the facts on the ground, assessing conditions, and meeting with other agencies. The purpose of the visit was to give President Trump a clear understanding of the humanitarian situation and help craft a plan to deliver food and medical aid to the people of Gaza."

Ambassador Mike Huckabee also posted on X that, “this morning I joined Steve Witkoff for a visit to Gaza to learn the truth about aid sites. We received briefings from the IDF and spoke to folks on the ground. GHF delivers more than one million meals a day, an incredible feat!

Ahead of the visit to Gaza, Huckabee spoke with Scott Jennings on Salem Radio, when he said the trip was initiated by President Trump, who requested firsthand reporting on the humanitarian situation in Gaza. "The president wants us to go see firsthand and report back to him directly," Huckabee stated. The delegation intends to visit food distribution sites and areas reported to be experiencing starvation.

"There has been so much misinformation," Huckabee said, criticizing Western media portrayals of the situation. "We see a very different picture of what's taking place in Gaza than most people who are reporting on it from the New York Times...

Now after the last week of calls from around the globe, I’m sure that they are.

The headline CPI rose to 2.7% in June (up from 2.4% in May) with a rise in core inflation to 2.9%, & indicators for July point higher still. This was mainly due to sustained housing costs & rent, rising food prices, & other broader pressures. Although overall inflation remains moderate by historic standards, it’s trending higher & still above the Fed’s 2% goal.

Various people will view this in two very different ways…


I view it as diplomacy. We have nukes parked all over so I doubt it means we changed anything. It's just a reminder to shut the fuck up.

There is more to this story.

It was Lindsey Graham who started this and Medvedev was responding to it.

Trump then jumped in to defend his favorite senator by threatening Russia.

He then threatened India with 25% tariff and additional penalties for India buying Russian oil.

This is the same Trump who has been bragging on every occasion that he used the threat of tariff to stop India- Pakistan armed conflict, where India hit most of Pakistan air bases and terror infrastructure in retaliation to the terrorist attacks by Pakistan terrorists.

Now India is pissed that they had to stop the war for nothing or that Trump lied.

To rub salt, Trump then posted on Truth that he has made a deal with Pakistan for drilling Oil in their territory and that India could purchase it.


He then called India snd Russia a dead economy, India is the 4th largest and the fastest growing economy.

To which Medvedev responded remember India and China are Russia's main trading partners and

To which Trump again responded.

India is said to have rejected a large F35 purchase (which Trump was pushing), after his series of post threatening them. Art of deal how to loose a 20 billion dollar deal and loose allies.
