1ºDe Leon Photography It doesn’t matter what’s going on in the world. Just remember,the main problem is that slavery has never left and still here in a different way by us being born with a number go to school to learn to be a slave in a good way and force to work in order to make a living for the rest of our life only for most of it to take most of it out our check to make us keep working til the day you pass away. If that’s not human slavery/prostitution/human trafficking,I don’t know what is. Until we all come together and say enough is enough with human slavery and do something about it,get back to school/work slave!
2ºThe ongoing volatility in the stock market serves as a crucial reminder for investors to remain cautious and diligent. Market fluctuations can be unnerving, but it's essential to maintain a long-term perspective and not let short-term movements dictate investment decisions.
A well-balanced and diversified investment portfolio is more important than ever, as it helps mitigate risks and provides a degree of protection against market uncertainties. Additionally, staying informed about economic indicators and corporate earnings can offer valuable insights, enabling investors to make more educated decisions in these turbulent times.
It is also worth noting that while short-term volatility can be challenging, it also presents opportunities for savvy investors who can identify undervalued stocks or sectors with solid growth potential. I believe that staying disciplined, maintaining a consistent investment strategy, and focusing on long-term goals are the keys to navigating the current market landscape.
3ºHerb Fogliano They are bs charges and it was just to try and keep him for running. The government is scared he will win again and help the people. Are you all liking the two person working in the home , while your children are being raised by a government paid day care and the government taking half at least of those wages ? Do you like all the families on the street because of Biden’s practices ? People getting shot because this administration supports the mentally sick people who don’t know what gender they are ? An administration who hired based on sexual preferences out of the norm and different races and ethnicity just to say they are diverse but know nothing ?
4ºAnother story silenced by our biased media..
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars that the US allocated for the purchase of fuel, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh
In his blog, Hersh writes – The Ukraine government, headed by Volodymyr Zelensky, has been using American taxpayers’ funds to pay dearly for the vitally needed diesel fuel that is keeping the Ukrainian army on the move in its war with Russia.
It is unknown how much the Zalensky government is paying per gallon for the fuel, but the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline from a port in Pakistan, via truck or parachute, into Afghanistan during the decades-long American war there.
The issue of corruption was directly raised with Zelensky in a meeting last January in Kyiv with CIA Director William Burns. His message to the Ukrainian president, I was told by an intelligence official with direct knowledge of the meeting, was out of a 1950s mob movie.
The senior generals and government officials in Kyiv were angry at what they saw as Zelensky’s greed, so Burns told the Ukrainian president because “he was taking a larger share of the skim money than was going to the generals.”
Burns also presented Zelensky with a list of thirty-five generals and senior officials whose corruption was known to the CIA and others in the American government. Zelensky responded to the American pressure ten days later by publicly dismissing ten of the most ostentatious officials on the list and doing little else.
“The ten he got rid of were brazenly bragging about the money they had—driving around Kyiv in their new Mercedes,” the intelligence official told me.
Meanwhile, Hersh, citing an intelligence official, said that the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and lack of strategic planning with regard to Ukraine had caused a growing rift between the White House and the US intelligence community.
“There is a total breakdown between the White House leadership and the intelligence community,” the intelligence official was quoted by Hersh as saying.
The alleged rift dates back to the covert operation last fall to blow up Russia’s Nord Stream pipelines, a move that was purportedly ordered by President Joe Biden.
“Destroying the Nord Stream pipelines was never discussed, or even known in advance, by the community,” the official said.
Another issue dividing the Biden administration and the intelligence community is the lack of planning on Ukraine. The official highlighted Biden’s decision to deploy two brigades a few miles from the Ukrainian border in response to Russia’s special military operation.
The actual manpower of the 101st and 82nd airborne divisions could total more than 20,000, but there is still “no evidence that any senior official in the White House really knows what’s going on in” the brigades, the intelligence officials told Hersh.
“Are they there as part of a NATO exercise or to serve with NATO combat units if the West decides to engage Russian units inside Ukraine? Are they there to train or to be a trigger? The rules of engagement say they can’t attack Russians unless our boys are getting attacked,” the official said.
The official said that while the White House lacks clarity on its policy in Ukraine, the Pentagon is somewhat optimistically preparing for an end to the conflict. Two months ago, the US Joint Chiefs tasked members of the staff with drafting an end-of-war treaty to present to the Russians “after their defeat on the Ukraine battlefield,” Hersh said, citing a source.
But it remains unclear what will happen if the Pentagon’s scenario goes wrong and Ukrainian forces fail on the battlefield: Will the two American brigades deployed close to the war zone “join forces with NATO troops and face off with the Russian army inside Ukraine?” Hersh asks.
5ºJerrod Hodges you all think so black and white that’s the funny part. It’s not just one thing.
The amount of money printing in 2021 was not the only factor that contributed to the inflation we see today. Other factors, such as supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, also played a role. However, it is clear that the increase in the money supply did contribute to inflation.
The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States, and it is responsible for managing the money supply. The Fed does this by buying and selling government bonds. When the Fed buys bonds, it injects money into the economy. When the Fed sells bonds, it takes money out of the economy.
In 2020, the Fed began buying bonds at a much faster pace than usual. This was done in an effort to stimulate the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Fed's bond purchases increased the money supply by about 25% in 2020.
The increase in the money supply did contribute to inflation. However, it is important to note that inflation is a complex issue with many causes. Other factors, such as supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, also played a role in the recent surge in inflation.
