US Elections (& Politics) :)

lets see

  • military in the cities
  • Free speech as long as you dont talk about things we say you cant talk about
  • Israel fully in control of Congress and Executive branch.
  • Military intervention in Iran, now Venezuela (they gave up on Ukraine) and of course supporting a complete makeover of the middle east
  • Trump literally says "I'm President I can do anything I want"
  • Palantir (or for those who havent read up - Complete control of all of your data Everywhere. All the time. All integrated)
  • Takeover of .gov financial reporting and now the Fed
  • Dollar being purposely crashed which will result in even more inflation
  • .Gov taking ownership stakes in private companies
  • List is too long....forum might break

But hey, you all got your $11,000 pay raise, your $5000 DOGE stimmie check, and No Tax on Social Security right?

(Oh and you dont have to take your shoes off at TSA in the airport anymore, so there's that)

Unfortunately there is no peace without conflict in this fallen world...

RFK Jr.’s HHS slashes $122M across nearly 200 DEI, LGBT-focused research projects

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services has stopped nearly $122 million in grants to research deemed a poor use of taxpayer funds due to focus on LGBT topics and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), The Post has learned.

The grants, funding 195 different projects, were determined by the Trump administration to focus too narrowly on sexual or racial minority groups — drawing outrage from some holdover officials from the Biden administration and contributing to at least one high-profile resignation this week.

The precise savings are difficult to calculate due to the fact that some awards were partially dispensed and often span multiple years. Most of the grants were scrapped in March in cooperation with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), but others were canceled as recently as this month.

Among the biggest grants to be axed was $5.5 million from the National Cancer Institute to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for the “Vanderbilt FIRST” initiative that aims to “recruit at least 18 tenure-track faculty from minoritized [sic] racial and ethnic groups,” according to data reviewed by The Post.

The prestigious Nashville, Tenn., university has an endowment of more than $10 billion — ranked among America’s top 20 — but said the funds were needed to “identify and eliminate organizational barriers that impede full participation, advancement, and thriving of racially diverse faculty in academia.”

Drexel University, a less wealthy but still well-regarded Philadelphia institution, similarly received more than $4.6 million from the National Cancer Institute for “Catalyzing Systemic Change at Drexel University to Support Diverse Faculty in Health Disparities Research.”

The project abstract says the money would be used by Drexel for “mentoring and supporting diverse early-stage faculty dedicated to health disparities research.”

Post in thread 'Money & Economics'

From my son-in-law:

Gold just hit an all time high! Lots of talk about Trump re-valuing the gold held by the US. Currently, the gold held in the Treasury is valued at $42 per ounce, which was the value in 1973!
Even at that price, the US holds $11 Billion in gold. If Trump revalues to $3500 an ounce, we would have $917 Billion in gold!!!
That would help wipe out the debt and would cause another surge in gold prices!

Revaluation has been talked about for some time. They might, wouldnt be totally surprised....But

  • How much of it is leveraged or otherwise already owned by someone else?
  • While $900B to $1T would be awesome, it still pales to current $37 Trillion of debt that is projected to grow based on the BBB, to $57 Trillion over the next 10 years.
