New Epstein files show Rep. Rep. Stacey Plaskett got real-time help via text messages from Jeffrey Epstein on how to hurt Trump during 2019 congressional hearing with former Trump attorney. Plaskett is the person who smeared us during Twitter Files hearing & falsely accused Matt Taibbi

This is all going a bad direction...still much better than the alternative...but ever since the Elon dust up,the President hasn't been the same. As is said here...we reserve our worship for Christ... and hopefully our objectivity for the direction and decisions of our leaders.

Can somebody tell me why so much emphasis is put on humanoid robots? Seems to me that the bipedal design is not optimum for most functions besides making them look cool or creeping us out.

Prices affect everyone who has the misfortune of paying for them.

The place where I see AI the most is advertisement pics for goods... and they're kind of just real life appearing cartoons... not appealing to me, but I guess it's cheaper than paying someone to stand in for a stock photo.

Are we allowed to ponder legitimacy of a contest when a huge underdog runs up the score in the first half? Wonder who placed that bet.

tl:dr - A significant change is now underway at the Fed. Monetary policy is no longer about what the Chairman thinks/wants. It's about tallying the 12 voters' opinions and seeing which view reaches 7 (a majority). If the Chairman disagrees, there might not he much he can do

Maybe we're about the find out.

There is only 1 currency that I want a US President to support and advocate for... and that is the US $. That's it. No hedging. No alternatives. 1 currency and 1 currency, alone.

If you’re keeping score at home, Kugler is the latest to run afoul of the Fed’s financial rules. Others include (just since COVID): * Former Dallas Fed President Richard Kaplan * Former Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren * Former Vice-Chairman Rich Clarida * Current Atlanta Fed

The certainty and unanimity are how the Fed has really helped bastardize the market system... "Forward Guidance" was always a terrible idea because it neuters the future of its due objectivity. Time and time again, we see how these self constructed boxes inhibit policy shifts.

It does seem interesting that this weekend's blow up coincided with a selloff. I hope it's only correlation and not causation.

Everything about this all has a bad look to it. It seems the only times that I see some GOP members of congress on some of these networks is when they are complaining about Trump or Trump policies... The insults from the President aren't helpful, and neither is this.

Both parties like to conflate "debt" and "deficit". The "Debt" has a single trajectory: Higher... the deficit is better than it was in recent years, but it's still horrendous. And the one surefire way to make sure the tariffs are inflationary is to give these "dividends".

The problem with having one party being so God awful, is that it allows the viable alternative to survive by being only slightly better.

I have a new post on the thing. rudy.substack.com/p/that-permane…

Every time I read one of these, I realize that I was dumber than I knew... which is saying something. Just another fantastic piece from Rudy.
