"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

My current concern is that, just like the institutions in the US right now, more global organizations, such as the UN, will not halt what appears to be a pathway to domination by individual superpowers. It's all a façade and has always been.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

It's like CBS got a visit from a man in a trenchcoat. "Nice network you got here. Is it insured? Shame if something were to happen to it."

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…
BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.
