The EU is experiencing inflation. Will make the case to raise rates and this way the Fed can use this as why they are not lowering the rates.8 billion of the green new scam has been cancelled. Trump calls out Powell, letting everyone know he is an obstructionist. Powell is interfering on purpose. The [DS] is destroying themselves by telling the American public that they want illegals to get health insurance. Is this a cover story to keep the Government shutdown long enough to try to get ICE, National Guard to abandon their posts. No matter what the D’s do there is no coming back from this. Trump is now prepositioning the National Guard in the cities where Antifa operates or is shipped into. All this is being done for the insurrection that is coming to America.

- Annual inflation in the euro area rose to 2.2% in September, up from 2.0% in August and the highest level since April, n .
- Among inflation’s key drivers, services led the pack with a 3.2% annual increase, up slightly from 3.1% in August, according to statistics body Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. Food, alcohol and tobacco prices rose by 3.0%.
- Although Wednesday’s figures means inflation now sits above the European Central Bank’s (ECB) forecast of 2%, it is still lower than in the UK where inflation was 3.8% in August.

ADP Payrolls Unexpectedly Crater To -32,000, Worst Since March 2023 And Below All Estimates
- ADP reported that in September, the US private sector shed 32,000 jobs, the worst print since March 2023…
… and far below the lowest estimate; in fact the print was a 6 sigma miss to estimates of which Pantheon’s +25K was the lowest.
- the original number was actually well higher, at 11K, but after the ADP conducted its annual preliminary rebenchmarking of the National Employment Report in September based on the full-year 2024 results of the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (which as a reminder eliminated 911K jobs from the Biden regime that were never actually there), there was a reduction of 43,000 jobs in September compared to pre-benchmarked data. The trend was unchanged; job creation continued to lose momentum across most sectors.

This marks the largest drop since 2023.

- This also means Lisa Cook will be able to participate in December’s interest rate meeting.

- financial institutions.” “The Federal Reserve is committed to upholding the highest ethical principles to strengthen public confidence in the impartiality of its decisionmaking processes.”
- There is clear evidence Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud when she lied about her principal residence to secure a lower interest rate. Even if Lisa Cook fraudulently secured this mortgage before her current Fed appointment, she is still benefiting from the lower interest rate each month. (Did she pay off the mortgage before she started?) President Trump fired her for cause under the relevant statute.
- Democrat activist lower-court judges purported to reinstate her. (Instead of simply paying them to go away, you can force the President of the United States to rehire people he doesn’t want working for him?) The Supreme Court refused to overrule them, instead punting the decision until next year.
- The Supreme Court must decide this:
- 1. Does ongoing mortgage fraud by a Fed governor create cause to fire her under the relevant statute? (This is laughably easy.)
- 2. If not, does the President of the United States have the Article II power under the U.S. Constitution to fire at will any executive branch officer (or employee), including a Fed governor? Or did our Founders unintentionally create another branch of government in the U.S. Constitution? (Again, this is laughably easy.) Maybe the Supreme Court will muster up the courage to follow the law after January?
- Apparently, October is not a good time.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Treasury Department is preparing to formally relax a proposed rule to tax unrealised #bitcoin gains under CAMT. pic.twitter.com/fs4ODVDdE8
— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) October 1, 2025
CAMT, enacted under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, imposes a 15% minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income of large corporations (those with average annual adjusted book income over $1 billion). The original proposal would have included unrealized gains from digital assets like Bitcoin in this calculation—potentially taxing “paper profits” that hadn’t been sold—while exempting unrealized gains on traditional stocks.Key Changes in the Relaxed Rule
- Exclusion of unrealized crypto gains: Corporations can now exclude unrealized appreciation in digital assets (e.g., Bitcoin holdings) from CAMT calculations, treating them similarly to stock gains. This aligns crypto taxation more closely with conventional assets and prevents a mismatch that could have triggered unexpected tax bills.
- Interim guidance: The new rules provide temporary relief while final regulations are developed, giving companies time to adjust.
What This Means for PeopleThis development primarily benefits corporations and institutional investors holding large Bitcoin or crypto positions, but it has ripple effects for everyday people involved in the crypto space. Here’s a breakdown:
|
Group
|
Implications
|
|---|---|
|
Large corporations (e.g., MicroStrategy)
|
Major relief: Firms like MicroStrategy, which holds ~$27 billion in unrealized Bitcoin gains, avoid billions in potential CAMT taxes. This preserves cash flow for further investments, reducing financial strain and supporting corporate Bitcoin adoption. MicroStrategy’s stock rose ~5% on the news.
|
|
Individual Bitcoin/crypto holders
|
Indirect positive: No direct change to personal capital gains taxes (which only apply on realized sales), but it eases pressure on the broader market. Fewer corporate tax hits mean less forced selling of Bitcoin to cover liabilities, potentially stabilizing or boosting prices. Everyday holders benefit from a friendlier regulatory environment for crypto growth.
|
|
Small businesses or retail investors in crypto
|
Neutral to positive: If you’re not a massive corp, CAMT doesn’t apply anyway. But the policy shift signals U.S. regulators are warming to crypto, which could encourage more institutional inflows and innovation—good for long-term holders.
|
|
The wider crypto market
|
Bullish signal: Removes a key overhang that had worried the industry about “unfair” taxation of volatile assets. Expect short-term optimism, possibly higher Bitcoin prices, and more corporate treasuries viewing BTC as a viable reserve asset without tax penalties on fluctuations.
|
Overall, it’s a win for the crypto ecosystem, reducing regulatory friction and promoting parity with traditional finance. If you’re holding Bitcoin personally, keep an eye on your realized gains for IRS reporting—rules there remain unchanged. For personalized tax advice, consult a professional.

- Information from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as they conducted an operation from September 19th through September 28th in Minneapolis, St Paul. Stunning immigration fraud.
- MINNEAPOLIS –
- The effort focused on site visits and targeted verifications for applicants and petitioners with pending immigration benefits who matched specified risk criteria. The operation aligns with Executive Order 14161, Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threat. The types of applications for immigration benefits investigated included marriage and family-based petitions, employment authorizations, and certain parole-related requests.
- .
- Operation Twin Shield uncovered many lies. For example, one alien admitted to fabricating a death certificate from Kenya for $100 to falsely claim the termination of a marriage—the spouse in question is alive, residing in Minneapolis, and is the mother of five of his children. In another case, an alien is the son of a known or suspected terrorist, he also overstayed his visa, and was previously found to have engaged in marriage fraud that resulted in the denial of several immigration benefit requests. In another case, a petitioner admitted to officers with Operation Twin Shield that she commited marriage fraud; this was only a few hours after swearing that her marriage was bona fide during an interview at our Minneapolis office. In another case, an alien engaged in marriage fraud by taking advantage of an elderly U.S. citizen spouse, including subjecting the spouse to elder abuse and exploitation. This is a small sample of the immigration fraud USCIS officers across the nation combat every single day.

Young recently has been upbraided by SCOTUS for defying at least one decision. But he remains undeterred, issuing his “finding” that President Trump is not just violating the 1A rights of non-citizens but is acting as a lawless executive endangering DEMOCRACY. This is nothing more than another headline-producing stunt by a lifetime appointee–confirmed in 1985–who knows he can act this way without consequence. Just a few snippets:

Critics calling this “wasteful” ignore the $1.2T in Qatari investments secured for Boeing, GE, and defense contractors—deals that fuel American jobs and industrial dominance. Weakness invites aggression; strength secures peace. When adversaries know attacking a partner means facing U.S. power, they think twice. That’s not globalism—it’s smart, America-first statecraft.
Trump is hoping that by keeping friendly relations with Qatar, this will help leverage Qatar’s pressure on Hamas to agree to demilitarize. Smart strategy.

With just a few weeks left in the contest, there is plenty of time for Ciattarelli to move the race into a statistical tie, and even surpass Sherrill.
- Among independent voters, Ciattarelli has increased his lead by 13 points, the most significant shift in the race since it began. Ciattarelli holds 51 percent of independents versus Sherrill’s 38 percent. In the poll question on which candidate voters trust to deliver for New Jersey, it is an even split: 50-50 for each candidate.

National Guard Deployed by President Trump to Cities
- Troops must continue missions without interruption, supporting ICE operations amid protests.
- Personnel will work without pay during the shutdown, starting after the initial contingency period (around day 21). For a 50+ day shutdown, at least two paychecks would be delayed. Retroactive pay is guaranteed upon resolution
U.S. Military (Active Duty)
- multiple paychecks would be missed, causing financial strain on families (e.g., delayed child care or base services). Congress has historically passed measures for timely pay, but the “Pay Our Troops Act” remains uncertain as of now. Retroactive compensation is provided once appropriations are restored.
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
- operations continue at full capacity for enforcement. Most of ICE’s ~20,000 agents are deemed “essential” and must work, including patrols in cities like Chicago alongside deployed Guard units. Non-essential administrative roles may be furloughed.
- Pay Status: Over 200,000 DHS law enforcement personnel, including ICE agents, will go unpaid during the shutdown (beyond any brief initial funding). In a 50+ day scenario, this means sustained work without compensation across pay cycles, impacting morale and readiness. Back pay is assured retroactively, and bipartisan bills are proposed to prioritize their funding.
In summary, all three groups are affected operationally (they continue essential duties) and financially (delayed pay beyond ~21 days), but no one loses pay permanently—it’s deferred until the shutdown ends.
- President Trump’s federal crime initiative in Nashville, Tennessee began on Monday with the cooperation of Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, and results are already being seen in one of the nation’s highest crime Democrat-run cities.

- “it’s very important because of the crime that’s going on, not only in Memphis, in many cities,” Trump said. “we’re going to take care of all of them step by step, just like we did in DC.”

- They were being used for telecommunications-related threats. Disabling Cell TowersLaunching DDOS attacks Facilitating anonymous, encrypted communications between threat actors and criminal enterprises.
- On September 25th Secretary of War Hegseth called for “All General Officers and SES Meeting” at Quantico Virginia. Quantico is the location of the Marine Corp Intelligence Activity (MCIA). This provides strategic and tactical intelligence including SIGINT support worldwide.

- Or maybe classified intelligence was found on them? How would you find the source.
- You would call all the General Officers to an “All Call” at a centralized location. Once inside, you would turn on your data capture systems and collect all the metadata to make a connection to the encrypted server.
- Remember Trump said… Infiltration from within. What if he was saying this literally and directly.
“These people are stupid” Also, metadata shows proximity pings that the NSA can capture. What that means is if another phone is in proximity to yours, its digital signature is stored in your phone. So if someone had their regular or work phone with them, not a “compromised l” phone. Those other phones would still show the metadata of proximity pings.
