WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cheered on plans to imprint President Trump’s face on a $250 greenback, contending that his achievements make him worthy of such an honor.

Bessent argued that it was necessary for his department to craft a $250 bill with Trump’s face and signature on it so that the Treasury can be ready if pending legislation to that effect clears Congress.

“I think it’s fitting. President Trump is the president during our 250th anniversary,” Bessent told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

I suspect that this will push the crazies in BOTH parties to be both overjoyed and outraged. Maybe some, both at the same time. This may finally convince some people that the 25th Amendment need to be re-engineered. Maybe an age cap of say 70 on elective Federal Gooferment office?

In Tom Woods Show episode #2764 with Doug Casey ❶, they make a strong case that: (1) politics attracts people who want to control other people; and (2) that DJT47 has all the characteristics of the worst criminal psychos.

While I am not sure about how bad or how good DJT47 is or is not, I am firmly in favor of an age cap for public office. And, maybe even a ban on familial linkages to prevent “ownership” of a Senate or House seat as well as families ties to Presidents.

POLITICAL: Get Israel out of American politics

David Stockman, Ronald Reagan’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, was even blunter than ol’ Woods:

In a peaceful, non-interventionist Republic, foreign countries would not spend tens of millions in one-off Congressional races because there would be no policy favors, fiscal lucre and military aids to lobby for. And AIPAC would not even exist, let alone be bragging about replacing the two greatest advocates of peace and liberty in the US Congress with two paid lackeys with their noses up the place in Bibi’s anatomy where the sun don’t shine. Bring the Empire Home. All of it.

I have become more painfully aware at the Israeli influence in our politics. The Massie race has magnified this to a point where it is unavoidable.

My hot buttons now are:

  1. Israeli political influence should be stopped
  2. AIPAC should be recognized as a adversarial organization
  3. Dual citizenship Congress members should be ejected and prohibited from running
  4. Naturalized citizens in Congress are not permitted to run for any political office
  5. The Military Industrial (Congressional) Complex
  6. Naturalized citizens who fight or pledge allegenice to a foreign country should be “denaturalized”
  7. American citizens who fight for a foreign country should be “uncitizenshiped”
  8. Those who commit felonies — green card holders deported and naturalized citizens “denaturalized”

The Architecture of Compliance

  • Omaha’s biosecurity hub ushers in a new era of federal quarantine power

Omaha, Nebraska has taken center stage for America’s attention to the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak—buy why Omaha? Despite the WHO’s narrative that hantavirus ANDV is exclusively spreading human-to-human, there is no credible scientific evidence that the virus can transmit in exhaled breath, coughing, or sneezing. The ship has not been ruled out as the source of the outbreak. Not all passengers and crew outside of the US are locked up. So how can Americans be detained?

*** end quote ***

I thought the same thing when I first heard the story.

What gives the [Federal Gooferment the power to “quarantine” Americans?

Did some bureaucrat just decide to deprive these people of their rights based on their opinion?

As the very least, there should have been some judicial process to allow the individuals to dispute the “findings”.

Argh!

The Gooferment does a poor job of protecting us from real criminals, but they are “Johnny On The Spot” to deprive individuals of freedom and liberty.

Where is all the so called protectors of freedom like the ACLU?

MIA.

Argh!
