Economy
The Uniparty and the mainstream media want you to be terrified of a government "shutdown."
Here's the truth: 85% of the government is business as usual. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are all paid in full.
Perhaps a pause in nonessential spending would be beneficial.

The Federal Reserve does not own gold. Since the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, the Federal Reserve has been required to transfer all its gold to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In exchange, it received gold certificates, which are not redeemable for actual gold but represent the gold held by the Treasury at a statutory price. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York acts as a custodian for gold owned by various entities, including the U.S. government, but does not own this gold itself. Thus, the Federal Reserve cannot own gold directly but can hold gold certificates as part of its balance sheet.
-
The Federal Reserve is not legally allowed to own Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency directly. This aligns with the broader regulatory stance that the Federal Reserve, as a central bank, focuses on monetary policy and the stability of the U.S. dollar, not on holding speculative or digital assets like cryptocurrencies. However, there have been discussions and proposals, particularly from some political figures, suggesting the establishment of a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” where Bitcoin would be purchased by the Treasury or another governmental entity, not directly by the Federal Reserve. These proposals often aim to treat Bitcoin similarly to strategic reserves of other commodities like gold or oil, but they would not involve the Federal Reserve owning Bitcoin.

JUST IN – Trump calls for abolishing the debt ceiling — NBC
— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) December 19, 2024
Yes, Donald Trump did advocate for getting rid of the debt ceiling. In a phone interview with NBC News on December 19, 2024, Trump stated that getting rid of the debt ceiling entirely would be the “smartest thing [Congress] could do” and that he would support that entirely.
Its called the debt ceiling for a reason, when we go back to sound money can the corrupt just borrow, no. If they cannot borrow do we need a debt ceiling. nO
The concept of the debt ceiling in the United States was created with the passage of the Second Liberty Bond Act of 1917. This act was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on September 24, 1917. It introduced the idea of an aggregate limit on federal debt, allowing the Treasury to issue bonds to finance the U.S. involvement in World War I without needing individual Congressional approval for each debt issuance. Before this, Congress had to authorize specific amounts of money to be borrowed for particular purposes. The debt ceiling has since been adjusted numerous times to accommodate changing economic conditions, government spending, and national priorities.
Exactly right. ALL government spending is taxation.
The government either taxes you directly or, by increasing the money supply, taxes you through inflation.
That means the spending bill IS the taxation bill. Very important concept to understand.@RepThomasMassie https://t.co/zE6riyClCx

Political/Rights
- crime investigators are raising alarming questions about whether the accused shooter, Luigi Mangione, acted alone.
- Evidence gathered from CCTV footage, witness statements, and suspect behavior suggests the involvement of at least one accomplice, potentially making this case far more intricate than initially believed.
- Despite Mangione’s handwritten manifesto proclaiming he acted alone, investigators like Brian O’Shea, a former U.S. Army intelligence officer and seasoned private investigator, argue otherwise.
- Brian believes the meticulous timing of the attack was too precise to be coincidental.
- “The odds of arriving at the exact moment your target appears are next to impossible,” O’Shea told the Daily Mail. “I’ve done probably over 2,000 hours of surveillance, and probably half of those in New York City. It takes a long time to get to the right place at the right time.”
- “The best way to be at the right place at the right time is to have a team, have intelligence on the movement of the target, and to have that team and yourself sit there for a long time until that person moves,” he added.
- . Surveillance footage reveals Mangione pacing near the crime scene, leaving briefly to visit a Starbucks, then returning just minutes before the attack. Such behavior, O’Shea argued, aligns more with a coordinated surveillance operation than a lone wolf act.
- I
- Brian: “So we have the ADA signing off on an arrest warrant that has Mangione arriving on the 24th of November 2024. On the same day that the arrest warrant was filed we have the Chief of Detectives for NYPD stating that the the suspect not only arrived on the 24th of November but that the suspect also “immediately goes to a McDonald’s in the vicinity of the Hilton hotel,’”. This statement seems to be implying that Mangione was casing out the Hilton in preparation for the assassination of UnitedHealthcare Insurance CEO Brian Thompson.But there’s a problem with this…if what the Chief of Detectives said was true and if he had, in fact, been implying that Mangione was essentially doing reconnasaince of the intended murder site on the 24th of November. The problem is that UnitedHealthcare did not make an announcement about this particular investors’ conference until the 26th of November.

- administration rushed thousands of usable wall panels, not clearly seen before, to an auction site in Arizona. The purpose was clearly to keep these border wall panels from President Trump. That auction happened today, but thousands of good wall panels that we were ready to buy were pulled from the auction.
- Here’s the back story. When Texas looked at the auction site on Friday of last week, the usable wall panels were not listed, or it was not easy to see what they were. Texas was never told in advance about the auction of the usable wall panels. Then, the panels were quickly removed from the auction yesterday.
- Texas sent a representative to Arizona, and the auctioneers told him they pulled the wall panels from being auctioned off today at the direction of the U.S. Government. They also told us that if these thousands of panels go up for auction, Texas will be notified first. Governor Abbott and I stand ready to buy them if they do.
- Early this week, President Trump called out Biden for trying to sell off the border wall early this week. He called it a “criminal act” by Biden. President Trump was the key to ending the secret Biden plan. It’s another Trump win, and he’s not even in office ye

- The United States prepared a rebel force to join the offensive that overthrew the regime of Bashar al-Assad, fighters have claimed.
- British and American-trained fighters in the Revolutionary Commando Army (RCA), a group aligned against Islamic State, were told “this is your moment” in a briefing by US Special Forces before Assad was ousted.
- In the first indication that Washington had prior knowledge of the offensive, the RCA revealed it had been told to scale-up its forces and “be ready” for an attack that could lead to the end of the Assad regime.

- In a previously unreported August memo, the Department of Homeland Security urged state and local police to conduct exercises to test their ability to respond to weaponized drones.
- The Department of Homeland Security issued warnings to state and local law enforcement agencies this summer regarding the “growing illicit use” of commercial drones, internal documents show. Among the recommended steps was to conduct “exercises to test and prepare response capabilities.”
- A DHS memo from August, which has not been previously reported, paints US cities as woefully underprepared for the “rising” threat of weaponized drones. The capabilities of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are “progressing faster” than available countermeasures offered under “federal prevention frameworks,” the memo says, adding that it’s common for state and local authorities to observe “nefarious” and “noncompliant” flights but still lack the authority to intervene.
- The memo states that violent extremists in the US are increasingly searching for ways to modify “off-the-shelf” drones to ferry dangerous payloads, including “explosives, conductive materials, and chemicals,” with major advancements in the area being propelled largely by rampant experimentation on foreign battlefields, including those in Ukraine.

False Flags
- One of the most common symptoms of human bird flu in this outbreak has been conjunctivitis or pink eye.
- Two human cases reported earlier this year in the US only experienced conjunctivitis. Those cases occurred in Texas and in Michigan, and were both in farmworkers who had come into contact with infected cows.
- Other symptoms that have been reported are mild flu-like upper respiratory symptoms, pneumonia requiring hospitalization, and a high temperature of over 100ºF.
- Milder symptoms include a cough, sore throat, a runny or stuff nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
- Like Covid, bird flu virus infection in people cannot be diagnosed by clinical signs and symptoms alone; laboratory testing is needed.

- So, that state of emergency that California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared related to bird flu? According to at least one California civil rights attorney, it’s not legal because, as Newsom and his office have repeatedly stated, it’s a “proactive” measure and there’s very low risk to the public.
Get the facts
This isn’t COVID-19
Risk is very low.
This is proactive to protect public health + Ag industry.
Bird flu isn’t spreading person-to-person.
No public mask mandates or restrictions.
Avoid raw milk & unnecessary contact with livestock.
- If this is all proactive and there’s a very low risk that can be mitigated by avoiding unnecessary contact with livestock (and very few Californians have any contact with livestock, anyway), then why is the state of emergency needed?

- President-Elect Donald Trump’s attorneys have alleged evidence of “grave juror misconduct” in his falsified business records case that has been playing out in New York.
- A heavily redacted letter from Dec. 3 and published by the court on Dec. 17 showed Trump’s attorneys stating that the misconduct “violated President Trump’s rights under the federal Constitution and New York law.”
- The specific allegations are unclear, and recently released correspondence showed Trump’s attorneys disagreeing with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office over how much information to release.
- The correspondence was published by the court after the judge, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, issued an order and letter rejecting multiple arguments the president-elect had made about immunity.
- In a Dec. 16 letter, Merchan said that the court made additional redactions following redactions made by the different parties. He noted, however, that the allegations were unsworn and that unless a claim of juror misconduct was properly filed under New York law, “this Court cannot allow the public filing of unsworn, and admittedly contested statements.”
- “To do so,” Merchan said, “would threaten the safety of the jurors. … Should a properly filed claim be submitted, these redactions will be revisited.”
- He also indicated a hearing was needed to evaluate the claims but said that the defense opposed having a hearing. “Allegations of juror misconduct should be thoroughly investigated,” Merchan said. “However, this Court is prohibited from deciding such claims on the basis of mere hearsay and conjecture.”
- Trump’s attorneys argued in their Dec. 3 letter that their client couldn’t pursue appropriate remedies until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit had ruled on Trump’s request to remove the case to federal court.
- In a letter to Merchan on Dec. 5, Bragg’s office requested that the Dec. 3 letter and related correspondence be kept under seal.
- His office seemed to suggest that Trump’s attorneys had misrepresented the alleged misconduct.
“[T]he excerpts of the communications that counsel did share included a communication from [redacted] in which [redacted] plainly stated that counsel’s recitation of the purported juror misconduct—the same misconduct chronicled in the Dec. 3 letter—‘contains inaccuracies and does not contain additional information that I never shared,’” the letter stated.

Senate Armed Services Committee Positioning to Leak FBI Report on Def Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth
- The Senate Armed Services Committee follows a tradition of the Chair and Vice-Chair reviewing the FBI report on Defense Secretary nominations, and then bringing the nomination to a full committee hearing and vote.However, in an unprecedented move being discussed the Chairman Jack Reed, of Rhode Island, and the ranking member from Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, are debating releasing the FBI report on Pete Hegseth to the full committee, thereby positioning the FBI report to be leaked to media.
- Keep in mind, this is an “FBI investigative report,” and we already know the history of how the FBI uses their investigative authorities to influence, change and manipulate political outcomes. If we drop the pretending, the FBI is a weaponized agency of DC government with the expressed intent to protect the interests of DC.
- The only reason to widely distribute the FBI background investigation of Hegseth is so that someone can leak it to media.

- provisions for government censors and for Liz Cheney. The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee—which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day. This bill would also give Congress a pay increase while many Americans are struggling this Christmas.
- Increasing the debt ceiling is not great but we’d rather do it on Biden’s watch. If Democrats won’t cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let’s have this debate now. And we should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn’t give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want.Republicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set our country up for success in 2025. The only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS combined with an increase in the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country…
- themselves. It was political malpractice! Also, the Communist Global Engagement Center, a project of Crooked Hillary Clinton, should not in any way, shape, or form be extended and, the shielding of the very corrupt J6 Unselect Committee of Political Losers and Thugs would be suicidal for any Republican approving it. Likewise, this is not a good time for Congress to be asking for pay increases. Hopefully, you’ll be entitled to such an increase in the near future when we, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Betrayal of our country = Treason. He began his statement by referring to himself as President and JD as Vice President-Elect, while confirming at the end that Biden is not the real President.

- If you listen to the noise coming from certain corners of Washington and the media, you’d think Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) time is almost up. Whispers about a potential leadership challenge have swirled ever since the continuing resolution was released. But let’s cut through the hype and get to the facts: The speculation is just that—speculation. And here’s why.
- Criticism of the Continuing Resolution Isn’t About Johnson
- The most striking feature of the backlash to the recent spending bill isn’t that conservatives are upset—of course they are. It’s the type of criticism they’re offering. The majority of those voicing dissatisfaction aren’t targeting Speaker Johnson personally. Instead, they’re focused on the process that produced the bill and the final product itself. That distinction is key.
- When members of the Freedom Caucus or other hardline conservatives speak out, they’re railing against what they see as a flawed system, not the man at the helm. It’s a clear indication they’re “fighting the process,” not “fighting the Speaker.” They know that Johnson is working with a razor-thin majority in a chamber divided not just along party lines but within his own caucus.
- Johnson’s Limited Leverage: One-Half of One-Third
- It’s worth repeating: Mike Johnson is in charge of one-half of one-third of the federal government. That’s not a position that allows for sweeping leverage. He’s navigating a minefield where nearly any spending proposal is doomed to alienate either the conservative base or moderates within the Republican Party.
- Donald Trump is firmly in Johnson’s corner.

this is all being done so publicly FOR A REASON. And there’s a good chance that reason is to show the American people that they must get involved in the process of Congress passing bills — learn what’s in them & make our voices heard — so that we don’t end up right back where we started.
it’s almost like this was done on purpose, they through everything into it to wake the people and get them involved. People are getting angry, event he Ds
Everyone just saw how the system works, how the money laundering works, how these people are only in it for themselves. Remember we won the election battle, now we need to keep it, sometimes you must show the people.
