As the comforting falsehoods speculators repeat to themselves disseminate the bubbles become silly. When the facts contradict their theories, they simply concoct a new story—such as insisting China is now secretly buying gold.

Next it will be naturalized citizens (my husband). Then American-born dual citizens (my kids). No, that's not legal. Neither is this.
I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

recall that one of the times we asked Tether for detail on its reserves it said, on record, that was its "secret sauce".
If it really does have a big chunk in bitcoin then.... lmao, rofl

S&P JUST DROPPED A TURKEY ON STABLECOINS
"S&P Global Ratings has reassessed the ability of Tether (USDT) to maintain its peg to the U.S. dollar to 5 (weak) from 4 (constrained). The negative revision reflects an increase in higher-risk assets backing USDT’s reserve since our last review."

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Rand Paul thought Elon in Washington was a good idea so I don’t really care for whatever his “plan” is. Why doesn’t he go sit at the kids table and color with a crayon for the rest of forever?
Rand Paul: "What is the Republican plan for healthcare? My plan would allow for people to buy their insurance through a collective. Basically to buy their insurance through Costco or Sam's Club or Amazon."
