The GDP has grown 54%, Trump is transforming the economy. Trump just ended the wealth transfer and now the people of the US will get the jobs and earn more money. Miran is calling for 2% rate cut. This will push gold to the upside most likely close to $4500 an ounce. It has begun. The [DS] is losing the narrative, the people are waking up and they cannot stop it. They attempt to try to shift the narrative most likely with a very big distraction, this could be a cyber attack which leads to war. Will the Trump admin allow this to happen, no. The [DS] will do this to weather the storm that is headed their way. The problem with all of this, is that We The People are the storm.
Economy
This is historic:
US nominal GDP has grown 54% since the 2020 low, marking the strongest economic expansion since World War 2.
This surpasses the 53% growth recorded in 1975-1978.
It also corresponds to an average annual nominal GDP increase of 6%, indicating rapid… pic.twitter.com/xmqVKr2JVP

expansion. By comparison, the post-2008 Financial Crisis recovery saw ~23% nominal growth until 2014. In other words, in Dollar terms, the US economy has grown twice as fast as it did after emerging from 2008. The US economy is experiencing a historic run.

while Americans can’t find work.
H-1B Visa Loophole Ending – Tech Jobs Should be Opening Up and Salaries Rising
- The order also blocks H-1B holders from reentering the U.S. without their employer paying the fee. Tech and finance companies scrambled to respond. Amazon, which employs nearly 15,000 H-1B workers, told staff not to attempt reentry after the deadline.
- Microsoft warned that the order left “little time” to adjust and advised workers to remain in the U.S. to avoid being locked out. Meta and JPMorgan issued similar guidance, urging employees overseas to return within 24 hours if possible. The disruption highlighted the dependence of major U.S. companies on foreign-born engineers and developers.
- Congressional amendments in 1998 worsened the problem. A loophole allowed companies to avoid recruiting Americans if they paid H-1B workers at least $60,000, far below average tech salaries, which often exceed $120,000. This provision provided legal cover for firms to replace domestic workers with cheaper foreign labor.
- The consequences became especially visible during recent mass layoffs. In 2022 and early 2023, the top 30 H-1B employers hired 34,000 visa workers while laying off at least 85,000 employees. Some companies were approved for more than 5,000 H-1B hires in fiscal year 2025 even as they cut over 15,000 staff.
- The program’s lottery system has also been manipulated. Nearly 409,000 registrations for fiscal year 2024 were duplicates, suggesting widespread gaming. Investigations found staffing firms filing multiple entries for the same applicant to boost their odds.
Trump appointee to Federal Reserve calls for steeper rate cuts
- Stephen Miran, who is also a top economic adviser to Trump, said in remarks to the Economic Club of New York that sharp declines in immigration, rising tariff revenue, and an aging population all suggest that the Fed’s rate should be closer to 2.5% instead. According to projections released last week, that’s almost a full percentage point lower than any of his 18 colleagues on the Fed’s rate-setting committee, an unusually high divergence.

Tariff revenue is SKYROCKETING:
The US is now collecting a record $350 BILLION in annualized tariff revenue.
This marks a +355% increase compared to 2024, all as the S&P 500 has added +$16 TRILLION since April 2025.
What's coming next? Let us explain.

Federal Reserve Rate Cuts Ignite Gold Rally Amid Shifting Economic Landscape
- The US Federal Reserve’s recent decision to cut interest rates has sent immediate ripples through financial markets, most notably propelling gold prices higher and galvanizing investor sentiment towards the precious metal. This pivotal move, typically signaling an effort to stimulate economic activity, tends to weaken the U.S. dollar and reduce the attractiveness of yield-bearing assets, making non-yielding gold a more compelling investment. This dynamic often triggers a rush into gold as investors seek a safe haven amidst perceived economic uncertainty and a potentially less rewarding landscape for traditional investments.
- Historically, gold has demonstrated a strong inverse relationship with interest rates, with its price often appreciating significantly following periods of Federal Reserve easing. As interest rates decline, the “opportunity cost” of holding gold—which does not offer dividends or interest—decreases, enhancing its appeal. The immediate aftermath of such rate cuts frequently sees gold surge, reflecting this shift in investment priorities and a heightened demand for assets that can hedge against inflation and currency depreciation. While short-term volatility can occur, the broader trend often indicates sustained bullish momentum for gold in such environments, drawing capital from fixed-income assets and bolstering its role as a store of value.
- Winners: Gold mining companies are direct and significant beneficiaries. As interest rates fall, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold decreases, making it more attractive to investors. This often leads to a weaker U.S. dollar, further boosting gold prices globally. Higher gold prices directly translate to increased revenue and profit margins for miners. Companies like Agnico Eagle (NYSE: AEM) are considered safer bets in the gold mining space due to their low-cost assets, while others like Evolution Mining (ASX: EVN) have already demonstrated improved earnings due to soaring gold prices.

individuals across the state
- California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Press Office made an alarming post on X, reading, “Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today. You’re welcome, America.” In the current political climate, that was taken as a threat and, as we reported, that threat was referred to the Secret Service for investigation.
Clearly unfazed by calls to “lower the temperature” after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Newsom went straight for divisive rhetoric.
The impact of these policies all across this city, our state, and nation, are terrifying. It’s like a dystopian sci-fi movie. Unmarked cars, people in masks, people quite literally disappearing, no due process. No rights. No rights in a democracy where we have rights. Immigrants have rights, and we have the right to stand up and push back, and that’s what we’re doing here today.
This is a disgrace. This is an outrage, what we’ve allowed to happen in this country.
- Assembly Bill 49 – prohibits schools from allowing immigration enforcement officers on campus without a warrant.
- Senate Bill 627 – widely prohibits federal and local law enforcement officers from wearing face masks while conducting their duties.
- Senate Bill 805 – requires that law enforcement officers identify themselves while conducting their duties, with some exceptions.
- Senate Bill 81 – prohibits immigration enforcement from entering restricted areas of a health facility without a judicial warrant or court order.
- Senate Bill 98 – requires schools and higher education institutions to send community notifications when immigration enforcement is on campus, and prohibits immigration enforcement from entering certain areas without a judicial warrant or court order.
As we all know, the U.S. Constitution presents a huge stumbling block for Newsom’s plans. Los Angeles journalist Elex Michaelson asked him about just that.
As @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom signs legislation requiring federal immigration agents to unmask, I ask about the supremacy clause that gives federal law wide authority on immigration:

Salvadoran National and Convicted Child Molester Charged with Naturalization Fraud
- Federal prosecutors in North Carolina have charged a Salvadoran national with naturalization fraud and passport fraud after discovering that he concealed his criminal history, including the sexual abuse of a child, when applying for U.S. citizenship.
- Isidro Arcenio Alvarado, 57, a native of El Salvador, was indicted by a federal grand jury in August and made his first court appearance this week in Raleigh, North Carolina.
- The indictment alleges that Alvarado knowingly lied under oath to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services by denying past crimes and misconduct, including sexual offenses, to secure U.S. citizenship.
- He later used that fraudulently obtained a naturalization certificate to apply for a U.S. passport in March 2023.

Geopolitical
- Under Reform UK, Britain will join most normal countries’ behavior regarding welfare benefits.
- The new leading force in UK politics, Reform UK party conference was held today (22) at Doncaster Racecourse in South Yorkshire.
- To the surprise of absolutely no one, the top item in the political agenda is the fight against unchecked mass migration.
- The Telegraph reported:
- Key announcements in the event include the no-nonsense policy of ending welfare benefits for non-UK citizens.
- “Far too many who come don’t work, have never worked, and never will work, [and have] the ability to bring dependents of all kinds. And when you start to realize that most of those who come are very low-skilled and on very low wages, you start to get a very, very different picture. In fact, you start to get a massive benefits bill […] We are here to make massive future cuts to welfare spending.”
War/Peace
Ukrainian Military Logistics and Supplies Totally Disrupted by Russian Drone Campaign
- Nowhere is safe anymore.
- It used to be that in the military conflicts that came before the advent of the ‘drone wars’, the areas near the frontlines were dangerous, while the deep rear territory was usually much safer – but no more.
- In their ‘war of attrition’ campaign, Russian forces have widely utilized FPV drones, unjammable optic fiber drones, as well as cheap and deadly long-range drones and decoys attacking in swarms – and lately Mothership drones carrying multiple attack drones.

Cyberattacks at airports: What you need to know
- Thousands of passengers have experienced flight delays or cancellations after a cyberattack at major European airports. But an expert suggests the problems may not be over, with the perpetrators still unidentified.
- Who could be behind ransomware attacks at airports?
- So far, very little official information has been released, especially about who is targeting Collins and, by extension, the airports. Cybersecurity expert Woodward suggested that “the usual suspects” – countries like China, Iran and North Korea – could potentially orchestrate such an attack, perhaps using criminal gangs as intermediaries. However, one country stands out. “If there is a nation-state behind all of this, it is playing with fire and it is very aggressive. And the ones that generally engage in this kind of behavior and have the capabilities are Russia. “

- the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) are working to establish Antifa’s international networks as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). If formally recommended by the DNI, the foreign terror group designation would ultimately still have to be approved by the State Department. an FTO designation would carry teeth: it would allow sanctions against Antifa’s overseas networks and individuals, and criminalize American involvement in organizing with them, or receiving funds. Additionally, the Department of Justice could look at how state prosecutors in San Diego County in 2024 identified and broke up the So Cal Antifa cell by successfully convicting 12 members with felony conspiracy to riot

- This comes as the statute of limitations for such charges is set to expire on September 30, 2025, adding urgency to the situation.
The most pressing issue is a potential charge of making false statements to Congress (18 U.S.C. § 1001), stemming from Comey’s September 30, 2020, testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. In that testimony, Comey denied authorizing leaks of sensitive information—including details about his interactions with then-President Trump—to the media. Recent FBI document releases and interviews suggest he may have authorized such a leak to Columbia Law professor Daniel C. Richman, who shared it with The New York Times.
- The five-year statute of limitations for this offense began on September 30, 2020, and expires on September 30, 2025—just eight days from now. Prosecution becomes impossible after that unless tied to broader conspiracy charges (e.g., under 18 U.S.C. § 371), which could extend the window but require proving an ongoing scheme.
If you think the DOJ/FBI, in conjunction with the ODNI, CIA, NSA, etc., are investigating Obama for TREASON, and Trump doesn’t know about the details… you are naïve.
Trump has to maintain the illusion of distance from the investigations for optics reasons, but if you think…

- Trump is not fully in control of this entire operation, you are mistaken. This is not Bondi’s plan, or Gabbard’s plan, or Patel’s plan, it’s Trump’s plan. Trump might play coy and act like he doesn’t know what’s happening, but I can assure you that he not only knows what’s going on, he is the tip of the spear.
- Trump is not just winging it either. He would not have committed to something of this magnitude without victory already secured. Trump and his team have a fully projected timeline, with contingencies for every conceivable scenario. This is structured and calculated. But this commonly repeated idea that Bondi is just sitting on indictments and/or covering for the Deep State… is INSANITY.
- Trump pulls the strings, and if he has an issue with the situation, he will correct it. Simple as that. A large chunk of MAGA have been all-in on this Bondi-bashing for 9 months now, and it’s painfully illogical and infuriating, especially considering Trump has told us over and over again that he trusts Bondi and she’s going a great job. If you want to use her as your verbal punching bag, that’s your prerogative, but just know that you look dumb and you’re not solving anything. Trust Trump.

Convention of States effort surges as Trump aims at shrinking size, scope of federal government
- The Convention of States would allow states to propose constitutional amendments to limit federal power, potentially reshaping the balance of governance in the U.S.
- The Convention of States (COS) Action hosted its annual national conference this weekend in Indianapolis, as calls to rein in expansive federal spending, term limits and the power of the federal government have not subsided, despite President Donald Trump’s mandate to do so.
- The Convention of States, driven by Citizens for Self-Governance, is a grassroots effort to utilize Article V of the U.S. Constitution to convene a limited state convention. It enables delegates to propose amendments targeting federal fiscal restraint, reduced government authority, and term limits for Congress and officials.
- To initiate the convention, 34 states (two-thirds) must pass resolutions. Any proposed amendments during the convention would require ratification by 38 states (three-fourths) to become law, which supporters claim is the stop-gap preventing what critics warn could devolve into a “runaway convention.”
- Nineteen states to date have passed the Convention of States Article V application, with an additional six states granting passage in one chamber but not yet the other. Twenty-one other states are actively considering the Convention of States Resolution.
- The Article V convention process has never been utilized in U.S. history, with all 27 constitutional amendments originating from Congress. Supporters claim it enables states to curb federal overreach independently, while opponents warn that it might exceed its intended scope, despite protections like focused agendas and a separate ratification process.
- National debt, term limits could be affected
- Supporters of COS who are clamoring about out-of-control spending may have a substantial case. The U.S. national debt in the year 2000, according to the U.S. Treasury, was $5.63 trillion. It is now $37.43 and counting. That’s a 565% increase.
- Another hallmark issue for COS is term limits for elected officials. The call for term limits in elected office stems from bipartisan concerns about entrenched power, career politicians, and declining public trust in government. Supporters of the idea argue that term limits would promote fresh perspectives and accountability, since the average length of service is now 10.1 years for the House (a little over five terms) and 12.7 years for the Senate (over two terms.)
- De facto sinecures
- The official website of the House of Representatives shows that since Congress convened in 1789, 33 members have served 40 years or longer in the House of Representatives. The Senate Press Gallery reports that some Senators, such as Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have served since 1981.
