If you are serious with my question first tell me if you understand the role of the dollar as I asked. If not forget it.

And I only mentioned COVID checks to show you that the USA can and does afford such when it wishes to.

First, 'money printing' is not printing Benjamin on paper. It actually means selling T-Bills and Bonds, which is a promise to pay interest and your money back at term end.

"USA affords" by adding to their debt, which they can borrow because they have not defaulted, yet. They however must pay interest on that debt, and inflation means the interest demanded rises to mitigate against devaluation due to 'money printing '.

Basically, you lend the government money by buying bonds and t-bills. And you'd be smart to lend at inflation plus some, or the $100 dollars you lend will be worth less at term end.

In fact, bondholders are watching very closely. They seem to move very slowly until they run. Bonds at 5% when inflation is 6% means you are giving your money away.

raumdeuter:
Printing money has inflationary consequence which we saw under covid, If AMerica decides to print more money for whatever you want, it will lea to the same inflation, Its why no one suggests it as an option

Its a question 5yr old ask, If we are poor, why dnt we just print more money

Yet, "printing more money" is exactly what America does. Read my previous to understand how.

And yes, inflation and higher interest will be the eventual consequence.

A recession is one way to cure rampant inflation if cooling down the economy by raising the Fed Rate does not work. The flip side however is that inflation reduces the cost of debt.

It's why I'm waiting for dump to sack Powell and replace him with his stoogee. I can't wait to see how bondholders react to a reduction in the Fed Rate when inflation is raging.

So you dont know? Got it

Now you know the GDP per capital UK trails all US states

The summary of all of this is that the USA can indeed take many different steps and options in terms of infusing and injecting funds for social programs into its system without suffering the kind of shocks other economies would. If well managed, consequences can be minimal and achieve the intended results quite easily.

This bit? As in the shock, and "consequences can be minimal bit"? For a while.

Any 'printing' USA does is added to its already ballooning debt. And you can only spend on a credit you don't pay back until you max it out. Then, massive consequential shock usually seen as inflation and higher T-Bill and Bond Rates.

EFFR below is Effective Federal Fund Rate. Bondholders are having none of it!

The sad thing is that it is when life happens to them as it can to all humans and they need that back up humane system and it is not there - that is when they finally get the simple logic that the system should have back up systems of support for the vulnerable built into various areas of need, such as healthcare, pensions, old age, shelter, unemployment assistance etc. Its what the whole society contributes to, not to give away to the careless, but to protect its most vulnerable who could be anyone at anytime.

One of the Chief Priests of maga and the tea party that preceded it was Ayn Rand. She railed against handouts to the poor until she needed handouts herself. And the only reason she's not mentioned much anymore is her hypocrisy.

budaatum:
The bold is not true.

The more they print, the more their currency loses value, and the more those they borrow from demand higher interest.

USA is currently replacing sub 1% T-bills repayable in less than a year, for post 4% bonds repayable in 5-30 years, because lenders are demanding more to mitigate inflation.

All boils down to management, it has to be carefully done.
As explained in my longer post, the USA/ the dollar has luxuries in this regard compared to other economies/ currencies.

There we go. And there are many many many other such tales.

There is no fake news there. To avoid wasting money and being punished by Fani Willis, Sidney pled guilty in Georgia RICO case ,while Eastman in the same case pled not guilty.
Then the Texas bar used that to ban her from ever doing a case in Texas
Which was rejected.

Eastman has been disbarred by California over the Georgia case. One court found barring Sidney Powell frivolous while the California Supreme Court sided with it's activist bar against Eastman.

Same case, different outcomes. Both cases dismissed in Georgia.

A demonstration of how Democrats went after every Republican they could ruin .
Winds of change are blowing.Tik Tok Tik Tok.

LordReed:
Fake news. She was not exonerated whatsoever. She is still guilty of the charges brought against her. The judgement by the Texas BODA says her offense for which she has received probation do not rise to the bar for compulsory disciplinary action, ostensibly because they are misdemeanours. The BODA didn't say she was exonerated so stop your fake news. Besides this judgement was last year, be for freaking real.

Not for firing the rifle.

The Charges: He was convicted of the illegal possession and public discharge of a firearm, stemming from a 2018 incident where he fired a semi-automatic rifle during the EFF's fifth-anniversary celebrations

And so?

Hegseth is doing a fine job. Correcting injustices is one way of improving troop morale.

Now it's being said the US has a new weapon they used in Venezuela and possibly in this latest pilot rescue. Directed Energy Weapon. Beam it like a torch from low flying plane or helicopter from above and those caught up become zombies not knowing where their right hands are.
I expect you to say without this weapon , Hegseth missions would have had casualties and so he is a failure
Was you born with hate or did it grow over the years?

The problem with his appointment is that retired generals think they are the only ones who should get that position. With their influence they have tried to sabotage him so some of the hate you read is an ongoing effort to remove him.

Catholic priests take over 7 years to be ordained. Majoriry are educated to Masters level degrees in Theology and Philosophy, many are also PhD equivalent.
I've compared their preaching to these TV evangelists The Catholic Father has more depth and knowledge .
Let's just say , Catholic Father's are very well qualified for Priesthood.

Iran is reporting the capture of minimum 50 Delta Force soldiers during the attempted (but failed) Isfahan mission, even published some names.

Hegseth and Centcom are denying this.

What happened with this weapon, it doesn't work on the Asian continent?

Fake story. They started by saying they are the ones who shot down 2 planes and helicopters that the do called Delta Force destroyed so they wouldn't know about the Direct Energy weapon.

In any case if it's true they would have posted photos of them surrendering.
Or they are so afraid of Trump , during Obama time they splashed these humiliating images of US sailors..

Message from Saudi Petroleum expert, Dr. Mansour Al-Malik, Energy consultant and Professor at KSA University

"Thank you, Your Excellency President Trump

The question today is not who started the confrontation… but who stopped the danger before it grew larger.

1- Thank you, Your Excellency President Trump… because you understood what many ignored for years, that the Iranian threat was not theoretical nor media-driven, but missiles being manufactured, drones being stockpiled, cells being planted, and an expansion project awaiting the moment to pounce.

2- Thank you because you were not deceived by the peace slogans raised by day, while weapons were being shipped at night to the Popular Mobilization Forces, Hezbollah, and the cross-border militias.

3- Thank you because you realized that every day of delay was not a day for de-escalation… but an additional day in missile factories, a new day in uranium enrichment, and another day in training proxies.

4- Thank you because you read the history of the region well, and knew that those who bombed embassies, hijacked planes, threatened navigation, and struck oil facilities are not deterred by a statement of condemnation or a diplomatic smile.

5- Thank you because you knew that the security of the Gulf is not merely a local matter, but a pillar of global economic stability, and that targeting Riyadh or Abu Dhabi or Kuwait or Manama or Doha is an attack on energy, trade, and markets around the world.

6- Thank you because you did not wait until Iran became a nuclear power imposing its conditions on everyone, making its deterrence more costly and more dangerous.

7- Thank you because you distinguished between the noble Iranian people, who deserve life and prosperity, and the regime that spent its wealth on militias instead of schools and hospitals.

8- Thank you because you exposed the falsehood of what is called the Axis of Resistance, which raised slogans for decades while its rifles were aimed at Arab capitals more than at its declared enemies.

9- Thank you because you proved that firmness is sometimes the shortest path to peace, and that prolonged hesitation may breed a greater war in the future.

10- Thank you because you gave the peoples of the region hope that the era of blackmail with missiles and drones is not an eternal fate.

11- Thank you because you said in the language of power what years of fruitless negotiations failed to achieve: that the security of allied nations and their sovereignty are red lines.

12- Thank you because you sent a clear message to all who think of threatening their neighbors, that the world may be patient… but it does not forget.

13- Thank you because you stood with your allies when they needed a stance, not just words.

14- Thank you because you understood that stability is not made by those who fund chaos, but by those who deter it.

15- And finally, thank you… because you made many review their calculations, and realize that the time of recklessness may be long… but it does not last.

As for us in the Gulf… we want real peace, the peace of nations not the peace of militias, the peace of development not the peace of fear, the peace of the future not the peace of slogans. "

Enrich yourself with this fact.
Vatican wall was built after Muslims attacked Rome and sacked the Basilica.

The wall was constructed for several critical reasons:
Protection from Pirate Raids: In 846 AD, Saracen (Arab) pirates raided Rome and sacked Old St. Peter's Basilica, which at the time sat undefended outside the city's ancient Aurelian Walls.

Creating a "Leonine City": To prevent future looting, Pope Leo IV fortified the entire Vatican Hill, creating a secure enclave for the Christian community.

Security for the Pope: Later additions, including an elevated passage called the Passetto di Borgo, were built to provide an escape route for popes to flee to the nearby fortress of Castel Sant'Angelo during political violence or sieges.

Sovereign Boundary:
Today, the wall largely marks the international border between the sovereign Vatican City State and Italy, as established by the 1929 Lateran Treat

What's the point. You turned out to be the normal Trumpist. You will not see reason.

You probably defended Noem and Bondi until they were fired.

I've been posting a lot a lot of late about Islam here. Reason is that I want to record what Muslims say and write with regards to matters happening today.
I asked Grok to search memri.org on views about the Vatican by Muslims.


From memri.org (which translates and reports on statements from Muslim media, clerics, scholars, preachers, and jihadist groups):Muslim sources on the site frequently describe the Vatican/Pope in highly negative terms, viewing it as promoting polytheism/idolatry, arrogance, a conspiracy to destroy or weaken Islam, or a target for eventual Islamic conquest..
Specific examples include:Pro-ISIS Telegram channel "'Ikrimah bin Wa'el" called the Pope "the head of the polytheist Christians" and condemned eulogizing him as "denying explicit verses of the Quran and rejecting the Sunnah which forbids praying and seeking forgiveness for polytheists."

Jihadi clerics (via "Min Idlib" Telegram channel quoting Saudi cleric 'Abd Al-'Aziz Al-Tarifi) stated that extending condolences to the Pope (as an "unbeliever" is forbidden if it makes Muslims appear weak.

Syrian jihadi cleric Abu Yahya Al-Sham (quoting Saudi scholar Ibn 'Uthaymin) said eulogizing an "unbeliever" like the Pope is forbidden if it glorifies him.

Gaza-based Islamist preacher Nabil Al-Halabi condemned the Pope's visit to Bahrain, calling interfaith dialogues part of a U.S. campaign against Islam "aimed at softening Islam, stripping Muslims of their religion, [and] identity."

Egyptian historian Zaynab Abd Al-Aziz (on Saudi Iqra TV) stated: "The decision to impose one religion over the entire world was made in the Second Vatican Council in 1965" and described the Vatican's mission of destroying Islam as having been "delegated" to the U.S.

Miami Imam Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi referred to the Pope and Catholics as "idol worshipers."

Sheikh of Al-Azhar Ahmad Al-Tayyeb said the Pope "is not bothered when millions of Muslims are killed."

Canadian Imam Abdullah Hakim Quick (in a 2025 sermon) described the Vatican as showing "arrogance and splendor," said Christians "have no modesty [and] use pagan symbols," and cited the Prophet Muhammad saying Jesus would return "to break the crosses [and] slay all pigs."


[/b]Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi (head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars) objected to Muslim-Christian interfaith dialogue and noted: "No Pope has ever apologized to the Muslims for what happened to them in the Crusader Wars."

[b]Dr. Subhi Al-Yaziji (Dean of Koranic Studies, Islamic University of Gaza ) said: "We hope to conquer Andalusia and the Vatican."

Colorado Islamic scholar Karim Abu Zayd cited a hadith predicting that "Islam will conquer Europe" and "the Mahdi will lead Muslims to conquer the Vatican."

ISIS and pro-ISIS outlets (e.g., in their weekly editorial and posters after Pope Francis's death) slammed Muslim eulogies of the Pope as "betrayal of monotheism," part of a "global effort to redefine Islam as part of human fraternity," and an alliance against tawhid (monotheism) and jihad.



So you can see the views on Islam are not what they tell you. These are diverse scholars of modern day spread in every corner of the world Islam all echoing the same thing.

Someone please DM this post to the Pope to know whom he is dealing with.

Caveat. Most Muslims don't know this. They are good people happily going on with their day to day lives .

The one quote I couldn't get was a Shia cleric praying for the day the Muslims capture the Vatican and convert St Peters Basilica into a mosque.
I'm just posting what's out there , what highly respected scholars of Islam say .
Foolishboy417 ,None of this is of my origination.
Deepsight, the only thing I know about Islam is what their scholars say ( in Arabic) when the infidels are not listening.

You probably defended Noem and Bondi until they were fired.

I don't take everything at face value , you might call that a problem. Especially when it comes from sources sworn to destroy Trump.
Kristie Noem, I quickly pointed out she had awarded a week old company millions of dollars to run the ad.
Pam Bondi. I've been accusing her of slow walking many times wondering why Biden could arrest over 1000 J6 protesters within a year , yet she could not charge a single person for treason.
I don't trust Todd Blanche, the acting AG who actually runs DOJ to do anything.

The one person whose done a lot is Tuski Gabbard.
I have reservations over John Ratcliffe at CIA. Kash Patel .. I don't think he has the cojones to drain the swamp.

This week a Miami Federal proswcir was removed from John Brennan the traitor case because she has been stonewalling.

So go ahead and tell me why Hegseth is incompetent.

Black mothers die at 3x the rate of other races at childbirth.
Research has shown this over and over again. It's not speculation. Now the next step is to allocate funding to further research to find ALL the root causes and address them.

When this administration's policies say you can't say the word black or African American or female or woman in any govt funded research project, or it won't get funded, they are condemning black women to death. Plain and simple.

It's a shame that black men with daughters are happy to create a future where their daughters are at even higher risk of dying from childbirth than their peers, simply because they have such self hate that they can't acknowledge how racist their party is.

Secretary Kennedy was asked "how do you intend to address maternal mortality rates in black women if you can't say black" and he outrightly refused to acknowledge that this is a thing that happens. He is either that ignorant or truly does not care.

But not that long ago, he felt comfortable enough to say black but only under the context of taking black children away from their families to "reparenting" camps on farms. Can anyone say plantation?
