The Gold Standard Act of 1900 fixed the U.S. dollar as consisting of 25.8 grains (about 1.672 grams) of gold that is nine-tenths fine (90% pure gold). If this definition held today, a dollar would be valued at $249.68. Then we got the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913. End the Fed.

Can I get a dozen hot wings, extra blue cheese, a Coors heavy, a full disclosure of the Epstein files and a side of what the fuck happened to Charlie Kirk?

Are we still pretending that Charlie Kirk was sniped by some random dude? Asking for a friend.

President Donald Trump says the US will "leave" Iran in "two to three weeks" when they are certain the regime cannot build a nuclear weapon "for years"

And yet the world’s greatest navy still can’t open the straight of Hormuz? Trump says the US now dominates Iranian skies, has destroyed its navy and its leaders are "begging to make a deal".

They aren’t even trying to lie anymore. Trump said the primary goal of curtailing Iran's ability to obtain a nuclear weapon has been reached and the US was now "finishing the job" I’m old enough to remember June when they told us operation Midnight Hammer completely decimated Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

I love Russians But I hate the Russian government I love Americans But I hate the American government I love Jews But I hate the Israeli government Notice the pattern. None of that makes me xenophobic, a traitor or antisemitic.

On a "core" basis, excluding volatile energy and food categories, consumer prices rose 0.2% from a month earlier and 2.5% from a year ago. Can anyone logically explanation why food is so volatile that it has to be excluded from “core?” I understand a flock has to get wiped out after avian flu and the price of eggs goes up. But how often does that happen? Other consumer goods can have supply chain disruptions. It’s because food and energy are essential commodities that can’t be papered over. It’s all bullshit.

Fuck yeah it is. "These ETF flows suggest this isn’t just a short squeeze," said Nic Puckrin, co-founder of Coin Bureau. "They point to institutional allocators treating bitcoin as a geopolitical crisis hedge, or potentially even as a hedge against future inflation."

Jeffery Epstein’s banker is worried the charade is blown. "Everyone we know believes in Fed independence ... anything that chips away at that is probably not a good idea," Dimon added. "In my view, it will have the reverse consequences. It will probably raise inflation expectations."
