Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

We did this with tariffs. Now we’re doing this with war. And some insiders are making a fortune off the chaos.

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion. After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them. Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

Moskowitz: Allegedly, Lewandowski was shaking people down. He was saying, ‘If you want a contract, you’ve got to go hire this firm.’ That $100,000 number we heard, where anything over $100,000 had to come to Kristi Noem’s desk—well, it turns out it did go to her desk, but he was sitting at her desk.

Trump claimed Iran was “clogging up” the Strait of Hormuz but that it would "open itself at a certain point" even as he appealed for help from other nations.

MAGA keeps touting the CBS News/YouGov poll while ignoring The Economist/YouGov poll where more people view Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk "very unfavorable" vs. "very favorable." The majority also think things in this country "off on the wrong track."

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have said they’re targeting government waste and fraud, but their first targets in dismantling the federal government are lower-budget agencies that help poor people: USAID, the Department of Education and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Russell Vought, the Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, tells the Chairman of the Federal Reserve that the CFPB does not require any additional funds for now. This, of course, means they are gutting the agency.
 G Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20552
February 8, 2025
The Honorable Jerome H. Powell
Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 20* Street and Constitution Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20551
Dear Chairman Powell:
The Consumer Financial Protection Act requires the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to transfer each quarter an
"amount determined by the Director to be reasonably necessary" for the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection to carry out its authorities under law. 12 U.S.C. 5497(a)(1). In determining this amount, the Director must "take into account such other sums made available to the Bureau from the preceding year" or quarter. Id.
This letter is to inform you that for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025, the Bureau is requesting $O.
During my review of the Bureau's finances, I have learned that the Bureau has a balance of $711,586,678.00 in the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Fund. By law, I must take account of this sum when determining the amount "reasonably necessary" for the Bureau to fulfill its statutory authorities. Id. I have determined that no additional funds are necessary to carry out the authorities of the Bureau for Fiscal Year 2025. The Bureau's current funds are more than sufficient and are, in fact, excessive to carry out its authorities in a manner that is consistent with the public interest.
In the past, the Bureau has at times opted to maintain a "reserve fund" for financial contingencies. But no such fund is required by statute or necessary to fulfill the Bureau's mandate. The Bureau's new leadership will run a substantially more streamlined and efficient bureau, cut this excessive fund, and do its part to reduce the federal deficit.
Sincerely,
/s/ Russell T. Vought
Russell T. Vought, Acting Director

Governors of the Federal Reserve System

Tesla’s sales tanked nearly 60% in Germany this January, dropping from 14% market share to just 4%. It’s not because of EV demand—it’s because Elon Musk keeps platforming fascists and making Nazi gestures. Turns out, ‘free speech absolutism’ has a price.
