Last Wednesday, President Trump delivered a primetime address about the economy. The quick speech was supposed to highlight his administration’s supposed triumphs, but it came off as strangely defensive.
In a press conference in the Oval Office last week, Donald Trump stated that he wants to keep home prices high. In the past, Trump has stated that he may declare a housing “state of emergency” on the issue of historically high housing prices. When asked for specifics last week, Trump stated that he’s interested in making it possible for young people to buy homes.
The struggle with the U.S. seems to have sparked renewed appreciation for the island in metropolitan Denmark.
Caitlin Johnstone: “Not just hate speech against Jews. Criticism of a foreign state. They’re coming right out and saying it.”
President Trump said on Monday that the US will “keep” the Venezuelan oil and two tankers that it seized off the coast of Venezuela as his administration is escalating a blockade on the country.
The poll shows Powell’s approval rating at 44 percent, compared with Trump’s second-term low of 36 percent.
“Gold and silver prices both set new all-time highs on Tuesday as persistent geopolitical uncertainty continues to keep safe-haven demand elevated.”
We think of thieves as conducting their work when no one is looking, such as breaking into a house while the owners are away. But the most successful thieves have done their stealing in plain sight, on a grand scale, while the owners were home and often with their tacit approval, though with sleights of hand that few are able to detect. Such a theft occurred when Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law on December 23, 1913.
Late last week, Congress passed and President Trump signed the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill marks the first time the US military budget officially passed the one trillion dollar mark. Of course, when you add in other military-related spending such as interest on the debt, veterans’ affairs, and military components of other government agencies, the true number is at least one and a half times that amount.
