The US government’s gold stockpile is not supporting the US dollar. The demand for US debt and currency is largely based on the state’s taxation power. It’s not based on gold.

Ron DeSantis Tells Andrew Tate ‘Florida Is Not a Place Where You’re Welcome’ as He Arrives in Fort Lauderdale | The Gateway Pundit
February 28, 2025
Online influencers and podcasters Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate arrived in the United States Thursday after authorities in Romania, where they face charges of human trafficking, lifted travel restrictions against them. The brothers arrived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, around midday Thursday, according to a report from the Associated Press. The dual American and British citizens were arrested late in 2022 over their alleged involvement in a criminal enterprise that lured women to Romania, after which they faced sexual exploitation, accusations which the Tate brothers deny. Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis was asked about the brothers’ arrival in the Sunshine State at a news conference. He answered that “Florida is not a place where you’re welcome with that type of conduct.” DeSantis repeated multiple times that his team was not aware of the brothers’ arrival until news reports revealed the development, emphasizing that the federal government has jurisdiction over their entrance into the country. “I don’t know how it came to this. We were not involved,” DeSantis said. “We were not notified. I found out through the media.” #BREAKING: Gov. Ron… Read the full article here […]

Mexico Extradites 29 Cartel Leaders to U.S., Tariff Threats Working?
February 28, 2025
In a move that screams “please don’t tax us!” Mexico has handed over 29 drug lords to the U.S. This is including the infamous Rafael Caro Quintero. This mass extradition comes as President Trump dangles a 25% tariff over Mexican imports. It’s a game that Trump can play all day and Mexico finally is playing ball. The wins keep rolling in, no matter how much these foreign leaders throw tantrums. Mexican authorities on Thursday announced the extradition of 29 cartel figures to the United States.The handover was “historic,” said Mike Vigil, a former chief of international operations at the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).https://t.co/3upi1ZKx2l — Sin_City_Cynic (@sincitycynic) February 27, 2025 DO TARIFFS WORK?“Under pressure from Trump, Mexico extradites 29 [Cartel] drug suspects” The mass extradition included some major cartel figures, comes as Mexico seeks a deal with Washington to avoid trade duties that Trump has linked to illegal migration and drug flows. pic.twitter.com/1JhIBa39mE — Jim Weed (@JimBobW49) February 27, 2025 Time for justice to be done.

Overwhelming Majority of EBT-Eligible Food Products Are Ultra-Processed – PJ Media

“The purpose of a system is what it does.” Stafford Beer We’ve all been there: you’re waiting in the checkout line at your local Save money. Live better™ Walmart, or wherever fine groceries are sold, and in front of you is a family of four — all obese if not morbidly so — with a cart chock full of Dr. Thunder (Walmart’s Dr. Pepper knock-off) and Hot Pockets and stuff like that. “EBT,” they say when the cashier reports their bill. Then you realize — with a disparate mix of revulsion, empathy, and helplessness — that you have just subsidized their slow-burning suicide and the homicide of their equally fat children.

Anti-GOP Town Hall Protesters ‘Paid’ by Democrats
February 28, 2025
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said that recent anti-GOP protests at various town halls were “paid” for by Democrats. Johnson made his claim during an interview with Kaitlan Collins on CNN. “The videos you saw of the town halls were for paid protesters in many of those places,” Johnson said. “These are Democrats who went to the events early and filled up the seats.” Collins said that Johnson could not “argue they were all paid protesters,” adding that a “Republican acknowledged they were his constituents.” “One Republican acknowledged they were … constituents. That’s fantastic, OK, but they had Democrats come and fill the seats early, all right?” Johnson shot back. “This is an old playbook that they pulled out and ran, and it made it look like that what is happening in Washington is unpopular.” Johnson further said that the American people are behind President Trump’s legislative agenda. As noted by The Hill, Johnson issued his comment “after the House GOP narrowly passed its budget blueprint, which would stave off a government shutdown next month and advance Trump’s priorities forward.” Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) was Read the full article here […]
Trump admin reveals extent of planned USAID cuts — which will save America a fortune
February 28, 2025
The U.S. State Department confirmed Wednesday that the Trump administration is eliminating thousands of foreign assistance awards and grants at the U.S. Agency for International Development. Peter Marocco, brought in by Secretary of State Marco Rubio to help run USAID, said in a statement to the federal district court presiding over two consolidatedlawsuits brought against the administration by aid organizations that following a review, Secretary of State Marco Rubio decided to cut roughly 92% of the agency’s grants, reported NPR. According to a State Department memoreviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, the 92% figure reflects 5,800 grants valued at $54 billion at USAID that Trump administration officials are set to terminate. Auditors scrutinized over 9,100 more grants at the State Department, 4,100 of which — valued at $4.4 billion — are slated for elimination. ‘Continuing this program is not in the national interest.’ “USAID evaluated 6,200 multi-year awards with $58.2 billion in value remaining,” a State Department spokesmansaid in a statement to Axios. “Nearly 5,800 awards with $54 billion in value remaining were identified for elimination as part… Read the full article here […]
Please Be Nice to Us, Mr. Trump! Mexico Extradites 29 Prisoners to US—Including Murderous Drug Lord – RedState
February 28, 2025
In an apparent bid to gain favor with President Trump, who has promised to enact tariffs against Mexico starting March 4, the Mexican government has extradited 29 prisoners wanted by the feds to the U.S. The list of miscreants includes notorious drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who was reportedly behind the brutal murder of a DEA agent. They’ve turned over what sounds like some truly nasty characters: Mexico has extradited drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who was behind the killing of a U.S. DEA agent in 1985, to the United States with 28 prisoners requested by the U.S. government, a Mexican government official said Thursday. The official, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case, confirmed Caro Quintero’s extradition. Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office said in a statement that the 29 prisoners extradited Thursday faced charges related to drug trafficking among other crimes. Mexico’s government is trying to head off U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of imposing 25% tariffs on all Mexican imports that could be imposed next week. Caro Quintero was arrested by Mexican forces in 2022. Rafael Caro Quintero, a… Read the full article here […]
Enough Is Enough? The Italian People Disown & Protest The Words Of Their President
February 28, 2025
Submitted by Vincenzo Lorusso via Donbass Italia, (emphasis ours) Months ago, a grassroot media campaign was launched in Italy intended to communicate the popular discontent with the pro-war, anti-Russia policy of the supposedly “Italy First” Government of Giorgia Meloni (elected on a platform that soon became indistinguishable from Atlanticist “Super” Mario Draghi). Themed “La Russia non e’ il mio Nemico” (Russia is not my Enemy), the campaign was promoted on billboards all over Italy to underscore the warm relationship between the Italian people and Russia. And to distance the people as much as possible from a government that contrary to its historical roots has taken Russophobia to a near British level of absurdity. The campaign was as much loved by the people as it was hated by the authorities. But last week, while delivering his acceptance speech for a honorary degree he was being bestowed by Marseille University, Italian President Sergio Mattarella compared the current Russia regime and policies to the Third Reich. And condemned any form of dialogue as a form of appeasement similar to Europe’s concessions to Hitler. Unsurprisingly, the speech was quickly… Read the full article here […]
Trump Admin Ends Majority of USAID Contracts, State Department Grants
February 28, 2025
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, acting administrator for USAID, has said that the agency will likely face reorganization. The Trump administration says it is eliminating more than 90 percent of foreign aid contracts and grants with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). In all, the administration stated that it would eliminate 5,800 of 6,200 multiyear USAID contract awards, for a cut of $54 billion. Another 4,100 of 9,100 State Department grants were being eliminated, for a cut of $4.4 billion. The move to axe funding is part of President Donald Trump’s wider efforts to weed out government waste and fraud. USAID has been one of the first targets of the new federal Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory panel led by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. The latest cutoff has created panic among the nonprofit organizations and businesses that launched legal action against the Trump administration. They argued that the funding freeze breaks federal law and has shut down life-saving programs around the world. Court documents show that the Trump administration was handed a win on Feb. 26 when the Supreme Court allowed a freeze on foreign funding to continue. […]
