Leadership is a job to bring the best result for all. Privilege is to benefit yourself at the expense of others.

I bought gold @$42oz in 1970. That says more about dollars than gold.
I made beautiful things, as that is what gold does best for the least work. Now most gold is made into ugly bricks and hid in the dark. Such an incredible waste!!

Gold tops $5,000. Why the metal keeps pushing higher and higher

Spot gold eclipsed $5,100 an ounce for the first time ever — and could run even further.

The attempt to unmask these accounts comes as criticism of ICE is mounting nationwide, and a win could have given ICE broad authority to attack that growing base of critics if DHS had dug in and its defense actually held.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

I so often think of wishing I could write a history of the last 25 years and try to publish it in 1970. Nobody would publish it! Too Crazy!
i really like the people telling me to read a history book
This guy needs to read a single history book about the 20th century, or get a middle-school level education covering the broad scope. What a fucking idiot.

Tim Walz - once again - is spot-on in his tone, content, and messaging. He's direct, articulate, informational, empathic - you can feel his genuineness and sincerity.
He'd have been an excellent Vice President.

Like most here, I am horrified and heartbroken over what has happened in Minneapolis with the death of yet another brave citizen in the fight against ICE abuses. No one should have to pay that price for our freedom, and no family should have to hear that terrible news.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

With everything Republicans say, take the opposite and you will be closer to the truth.
You are Republican, and this is not true? Why are you still a Republican?

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

A general strike only gives him an excuse for a crashing economy that he is already causing. An "American Spring" color revolution is needed.. See AEinstein.Org
Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

What is the opposite of doxxing? Keeping murderers from having to be accountable! Isn't that another crime?
Bovino: "All agents that were involved in that scene are working, not in Minneapolis but in other locations. That's for this safety. There's this thing called doxxing. We're going to keep those employees safe."

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

The most important point! They shot an unarmed man. There were many more shots than show in most videos.
And the NRA types are siding with the thugs. Many seem to be Jan6 Rioters or have the same attitude.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

The key is not productivity, but how the benefits of productivity are divided. Ownership of the efforts of others is as much an issue with business as with kings.
How do you measure productivity? Let’s start by talking about the engineering obsession with quantitative metrics. You can easily measure productivity on an assembly line. The faster a car comes off the line at a given quality level, the more productive you are.

1. He is already crashing it and he just escapes blame.
2 .Smashing your nose to spite your face is never good.
3. Make lists of crimes and references to them as most have lost track.
