The US attorney’s office in the District of Columbia has opened a criminal investigation into Jerome H. Powell, the Federal Reserve chair. In the past, Trump has continually attacked Powell for not slashing interest rates. Now, he appears to be attempting to use the criminal law to pressure the head of the Federal Reserve to follow his commands. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/us/politics/jerome-powell-fed-inquiry-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.D1A.AEqo.Ygxv6Zoi8Gys&smid=url-share One of the pillars of the American financial system is that the Federal Reserve was intentionally isolated from political control, so that rational decisions could be made based on the economy and not politics. The Federal Reserve was formed based on the painful experience of prior depressions and banking panics in America. https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/federal-reserve-history

is it true that kamala harris snubbed all the podcasters? "No, the claim that Kamala Harris "snubbed all the podcasters" during her 2024 presidential campaign is not true—it's an exaggeration that aligns with right-wing narratives criticizing her media strategy, but the facts show she actively engaged with several podcasts. While she did pass on or fail to secure appearances on some high-profile ones (notably Joe Rogan's show, due to mismatched scheduling and format expectations), she appeared on multiple others targeting key demographics like women, Black voters, and sports fans. Here's a breakdown based on what actually happened:Podcasts Harris Did Appear On Harris prioritized non-traditional media to reach younger and diverse audiences, appearing on at least half a dozen podcasts or podcast-style shows during the campaign. Examples include:Call Her Daddy (hosted by Alex Cooper): A 40-minute episode focused on reproductive rights, her upbringing, and women's issues. This is one of the top podcasts among young women. All the Smoke (hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson): Discussed her plans for economic opportunity and criminal justice, aimed at young Black men. Club Shay Shay (hosted by Shannon Sharpe): Aired in late October, covering similar themes to appeal to sports enthusiasts. The Breakfast Club (hosted by Charlamagne tha God and others): A radio/podcast hybrid where she addressed Black community concerns. The Howard Stern Show: Another radio/podcast format, discussing policy and personal stories. Unlocking Us (hosted by Brené Brown): Focused on leadership and vulnerability. These appearances were part of a broader media blitz in the final weeks, including TV like The View and 60 Minutes, showing she wasn't avoiding alternative formats entirely. The most prominent example fueling the "snub" narrative is her non-appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, which Trump did for a three-hour episode. However, it wasn't a straightforward snub by Harris: Her campaign expressed interest, but negotiations fell through over logistics—Rogan insisted on recording in his Austin studio for a full three hours, while Harris' team proposed a one-hour interview elsewhere due to her packed schedule. Post-election, Harris admitted she regretted not doing it, calling podcasting a "powerful medium" and noting "games being played" in the talks. There were also reports of internal pushback from progressive staffers who worried about backlash from associating with Rogan's sometimes controversial views. Other misses: She was turned down by Hot Ones (the spicy wings show), as they avoided politics. Some sports podcasts reportedly couldn't book her, according to a former White House official." -

Shahid Bolsen talks a lot about real power. He claims that protests are a waste of time because those with power don’t care about your opinion. The immature progressives lost their power because they didn’t understand it and pushed pointless wedge issues that made them unpopular. Trump will also lose power in the last minutes of his life. He will finally understand that it was all for nothing. He came into the world naked and he will go out naked. He is not as smart as you think. -

Here is some of his funding. Keep in mind that this is only a short summary of what the Internet managed to record. 1. Bitcoin Donation from Laurent Bachelier (Approximately $250,000 in 2020) In December 2020, Fuentes received about 13.5 Bitcoin (valued at roughly $250,000 at the time) from Laurent Bachelier, a French computer programmer and early Bitcoin investor who died by suicide shortly after. 2. Payments from Kanye West's (Ye's) Presidential Campaign (Over $45,000 Total)Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show that Fuentes received payments from Ye's 2020 presidential campaign committee (which continued operations into later years). These include:Approximately $14,700 in late 2022 for "travel reimbursement." Over $30,000 in early 2023, including two $10,000 payments for "archival services" and about $10,300 for travel.t 3. Associations and Alleged Attempts with Texas Oil Billionaires (Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks) Fuentes has been linked to West Texas oil billionaires Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks (combined net worth in the billions) through meetings and scandals, but there is no confirmed evidence of direct funding to him personally. These billionaires have poured millions into conservative causes, including the Defend Texas Liberty PAC (which gave nearly $15 million to right-wing candidates since 2021) and groups like the Daily Wire and PragerU. -

"Conspiracy" Another weasel word. The issue is that you are being pulled into another story. What is never discussed is that none of this noise is actually improving the lives of average citizens. -

I don’t believe the narrative that Candice Owens and Nick Fuentes are small time independent Youtubers. They are being funded from corporate sources. The Internet is becoming as controlled as the mainstream media. Whenever I hear the word “Hitler” I smell manipulation. It is ancient history and irrelevant to our world today, but it is a great trigger word to stir emotions and suck people into a story that benefits our rulers. Fuck this media shit show. -

Dr. Russell Razzaque really nails it with video evidence of cold-blooded murder. -
Greenland has a population of approximately 57,000 people and they are sitting on a land with valuable resources and a strategic location. In a capitalistic worldview where corporations have an absolute right to plunder resources, it is hard to see how they are going to escape. Is Trump an anomaly or has he been hired by the OCGFC to implement policies that expand their power and control?

The Iranian foreign ministry has suggested that Saudi Arabia is involved in the protests, although there is no direct evidence to support that. -

It’s interesting that Vivekananda’s writings emphasis rational thought. He sounds like a dry Western philosopher. I have been to the Vedanta Society and it has the feel of a protestant church service. But Vivekanda himself was an off the charts mystic at the same level as Yogananda. But he understood Western culture and only gave them what they could handle. When you see how Yogananda is ridiculed, it is easy to see the wisdom of his strategy. -

Keep in mind that everything you see in Western media is propaganda designed to sell a particular narrative furthering the aims of the state. "Both America & Israel Have Officially Announced Direct Involvement in Iranian Disturbances’ – FM Araghchi ‘They are trying to turn these peaceful protests and demonstrations into violence and chaos,’ he noted. Araghchi cited a tweet from former CIA director Mike Pompeo which said that ‘Mossad agents were walking alongside Iranians in the streets.’" https://x.com/i/status/2009663959125856386 -

Yogananda also said that Jesus appeared to him confirming that his teachings in "The Second Coming of Christ" was correct. -

It’s clear that the Trump administration is intentionally provoking violence. They want a response that they can exploit with their propaganda machine, some say, in order to have an excuse to suspend elections. Trump is losing popularity fast. A better approach is to focus on regaining political power and then have real accountability. All of the criminals of this administration have to be prosecuted and forced to account for their crimes. Everything needs to be documented. -

Yoganandra went into mahasamadhi and according to a notarized letter from the mortuary director of Forest Lawn Memorial Park, his body showed no signs of decay for weeks afterwards.
