If only Shadow had been around in 1999.

I can’t confirm it was Pete but I know his antics, and this measures up.

It got down to 27 last night. I’m shocked we survived.

Kat Brooks is coming on the show to tell her story tomorrow. She is a seasoned reporter, copy editor, photographer and filmmaker who most recently worked for the local paper in Chewelah, WA. While covering what she would describe as corruption among city leaders, she began publishing a fictitious blog that detailed the issues from behind the scenes, but with made up characters like “Mayor McKnuttsak”. She was fired for this when the local politicians figured it out - and complained to her boss. ANY QUESTIONS?

The Pied Piper is leading the nation into a Technocratic Banker Abyss! But, MAGA glasses block seeing things clearly.

Trump directs the U.S. Treasury to stop minting pennies

So now when I pay cash, and I am due 16 cents change. A store will not want to eat the extra 4 cents, and give me 20 cents. I may be told I cannot get correct change. UNLESS, I don't use cash to pay. But MAGA can't see the forest for the trees on this one... We are moving to a casheless society, at MAGA speed, formerly known as Warp Speed!

It cost more to make more than just pennies. Due to the deflation of our currency. Via a Federal Reserve system, that will be more empowered now. Coins come from the US mint, they are not debt notes like Federal Reserve notes, aka dollars.

The AP, one of the alleged recipients of USAID largesse, has come out swinging:

Do read the very last paragraph as it's hilarious. The article is basically "We're just neutral fact-checkers examining these claims..." [spends whole article doing technical nitpicking] "And by the way, did you know USAID is a wonderful independent agency bringing hope and innovation to 100 countries for 60 glorious years?"

The cognitive dissonance is amazing:
"These claims about USAID are misleading and need careful fact-checking. Also here's some unexamined agency propaganda we'll just drop in at the end apropos of nothing in particular!"

It's like watching someone insist they're not biased while wearing the team jersey.
