President Obama: the U.S. is a failed republic. An Authoritarian regime centered on White Christian Nationalism. Our society is now xenophobic, isolationist, racist, with an economy that is increasingly commanded by the regime. Trust, decency, and morality are supplanted by loyalty to the dictator.

Additionally, the anticipated FED interest rate cut only really impacts the federal funds rate target range, which is the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. 10-Year Bond rate impacts ordinary people and is set by the bond market supply and demand.

Had someone send me a pic: box of ammo label "keep out of reach of children" Ok, nice, but it doesn't explicitly say that ammo is a danger to children and may cause death now does it? The Kirkland warning is much more to the point.

A 13-gallon Kirkland trash bag comes with this warning. Do firearms and ammo? Nope. Trash bags don't kill children, guns do.

β€œThe recent change in the adult and children’s immunization schedule threaten the lives of the youngest Americans and pregnant people.” This should be one of the biggest scandals in America right now. And every Democrat should be loudly calling for RFK Jr’s resignation

The article does not say he ordered the portraits hung. It’s just as likely, and possibly more frightening, that the Labor Sec ordered it herself, knowing it would please him. (Gift link) www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The U.S.A is a failed republic devolving into an Authoritarian regime centered on White Christian Nationalism. Our society is now xenophobic, isolationist, racist, with an economy that is increasingly commanded by the regime. Trust, decency, and morality are supplanted by loyalty to the dictator.

A growing number of scientists believe that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may subtly alter our immune systems. If correct, their hypothesis will change how we understand everything from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to shingles to sepsis. www.bmj.com/content/390/...
