I already know why I get called a Nazi by you two. And make no mistake, it is ONLY by you two.

And there are two reasons for it...

REASON #1: You are both self-righteous bullies who get off on beating people down with personal insults while getting high sniffing each other's farts, and for the last 12 years you were both goaded into it and you were praised by the Legacy Media for doing it.

REASON #2: You are both little sissies hiding behind your handles that wouldn't dare say that to my face in real life. Period.

The same that could be said about you both could also be said about all the rest of you barely literate, heavily indoctrinated, headline-only-reading, terminally online, dopamine addicted, clickbait addict, Leftist cultist idiots lacking any ability for critical thinking or self-agency who feel as though they have a license to advocate for the death of anyone they disagree with at any point in time as many times as they feel like it, and then laugh when somebody finally gets shot at and/or killed.

And then when you finally get called on it and you realized that I was right all along and the entire world you knew died eight months ago, you start crying and begging like wounded little animals. You both are the textbook definition of pathetic. You are not men. You are both little bitches. MY little screen bitches.

Nobody in the country gives a single fuck what either of you think or say anymore. Those days were already sliding evermore quickly from your grasp, just as I told you they were before I even started this thread, but they ended on September 10th, 2025.

Full Stop.

And if you ever once spent five minutes outside of your MSNBC clickbait bubble and watched the real news with all the live video footage and without everything being presented out-of-context as a rule, you'd realize that nobody in the entire fucking world gives a single shit about your opinion right now either.

Even the South Koreans were out in the streets singing Charlie Kirk's name the other night.

Everything you thought you knew is false history, and the truth is coming out for everyone to see. And you are now an endangered species.

I would highly advise you to do a better job at protecting yourself going forward, because nobody else is going to do it for you anymore.


Meanwhile, here's an archived list of every time you called for somebody's assassination, along with murder fantasies you've had about other members here over the years:

I know you thought it was funny at the time, and you got a good laugh out of me making this list and even suggested I send it to the Secret Service on more than one occasion while not taking it seriously at all.

But you and I both know it's not so funny anymore, now don't we?



And when everybody else sees what you've been posting here over the years, everyone is going to know who the real Nazi here was all along.

It was you, it was you, it was you...

It was you, it was you, it was you...





Good luck. You'll need it.

How Far Could Donald Trump’s Assault on the Federal Reserve Go?

Some central-bank veterans are concerned about a scenario in which the President’s appointees gain effective control of the institution and end its independence.

By John Cassidy | September 15, 2025

https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-financial-page/how-far-could-donald
-trumps-assault-on-the-federal-reserve-go


After weeks of anticipation on Wall Street and elsewhere, policymakers at the Federal Reserve, which is one of the few remaining independent agencies that hasn’t yet fallen under the control of Donald Trump, will meet in the coming days to set a key interest rate. Trump has recently renewed his attacks on Jerome Powell, the chair of the Fed, following a sharp slowdown in job growth throughout the summer. He has also demanded a bigger rate cut than Powell and his colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee (F.O.M.C.), which holds eight scheduled meetings each year to determine monetary policy, are likely to deliver, though that is the least of his efforts to exert control over the central bank.

Last week, Senate Republicans moved to confirm Stephen Miran, the chair of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers, to fill a short-term vacancy on the Fed’s Board of Governors. For now, Trump has backed off from his threats to fire Powell, whom he nominated in 2017 before turning against him shortly thereafter. But he is pressing ahead with his effort to oust another Fed governor, Lisa Cook, whom one of his minions, Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has accused of mortgage fraud. Last week, a federal judge said Trump hadn’t “stated a legally permissible cause for Cook’s removal,” and allowed her to remain in her role. The Administration promptly appealed the ruling, asking a circuit court to allow it to forge ahead with Cook’s dismissal before the meeting, which starts on Tuesday.

Policy disputes between Presidents and the Fed aren’t new, though we are witnessing something unprecedented. Until now, the most contentious showdown between the White House and the Fed came in January, 1951, when President Harry Truman summoned the members of the F.O.M.C. to the White House for a dressing-down. Then, as now, the source of the dispute was the President’s demand for low borrowing costs, but the context was very different.

In April, 1942, shortly after the United States entered the Second World War, the Fed agreed to peg short-term rates at three-eighths of one per cent and long-term rates at 2.5 per cent. To enable the U.S. government to finance a huge expansion in defense spending, the Fed created large sums of money and used it to purchase Treasury bonds, an action that buoyed bond prices and kept their yields low. Large-scale monetary expansions are often associated with inflation, but wartime price controls helped keep price rises in check. In the postwar years, however, inflation picked up, and the United States’ entry into the Korean War, in June, 1950, heightened inflationary pressures. By the start of the following year, prices were increasing at an annual rate of about twenty per cent.

These developments alarmed Fed officials, many of whom wanted to raise interest rates to bring down inflation. In testimony on Capitol Hill, the Fed chairman at the time, Marriner S. Eccles, who had been appointed by Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression, described the interest-rate cap as “an engine of inflation.” But Truman, who had one eye on preserving the value of war bonds that many Americans had purchased, was determined to keep it in place. He convened the F.O.M.C. members, and argued that raising rates could jeopardize the financing of the Korean War and the global fight against Communism. The next day, the White House and the Treasury Department announced that the Fed had agreed to maintain its existing policy for the duration of the security emergency. But the members of the F.O.M.C. had agreed to no such thing.

When reporters from the New York Times and the Washington Post called Eccles, he told them this, and the outlets reported his comments without attribution. The dispute was now out in the open, and the Truman White House was shown to have misled the public. Eccles also released to the press an internal Fed memorandum that recorded the details of the meeting. As Eccles put it later on, “the fat was in the fire.”

For a month, the dispute escalated. Tense meetings were held. Various senators got involved. The Fed informed the Treasury that it was “no longer willing to maintain the existing situation in the Government security market.” Eventually, the White House and the Treasury backed down. The then Treasury Secretary, John W. Snyder, had been sidelined by an illness, so one of his top lieutenants, William McChesney Martin, negotiated a compromise with the Fed; the deal was finalized in early March. Under this agreement, which came to be known as the Treasury-Fed Accord, the central bank agreed to keep a key interest rate fixed until the end of the year, but it no longer committed to a permanent cap. Effectively, it was free to concentrate on fighting inflation.

Soon after, Truman appointed Martin as Fed chair, intending to have his own man in place. But, rather than catering to Truman’s desire for a cheap-money policy, Martin acquired a reputation as an inflation hawk. (It was he who likened the Fed’s role to removing the drinks when the party gets raucous.) Years later, according to an informative history of the dispute that was published in 2001 by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, one of twelve regional reserve banks in the U.S., the two men ran into each other on a New York street; Truman looked at Martin, “said one word, ‘traitor,’ and then continued.”

After reading this history last week, I called up Jeffrey Lacker, an economist who was president of the Richmond Fed from 2004-17 and who also served as a member of the F.O.M.C. under Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke. (The voting members of the committee consist of seven Fed governors and five regional Fed presidents.) Lacker is a student of the Fed’s history, and a fervent believer in its independence. “Truman had to sue for peace when he was discovered to have lied to the press about the compliance of the F.O.M.C. with his desires,” he told me. “Whether such shaming is an effective mechanism in this climate is not so clear at all.”

I interpreted this statement as a diplomatic way of saying that Trump is utterly shameless, and that, in pursuing his goals, he is restrained by neither precedent nor embarrassing facts. (This is someone who was found guilty last year, in a New York civil court, of grossly inflating the value of his real-estate assets to obtain better loan terms, and here he is, accusing Cook of mortgage fraud.) That said, Truman was no pushover. As a Midwestern populist, he viewed the Fed and its allies on Wall Street with deep suspicion. Yet, the Fed was able to prevail over him. Lacker pointed to another reason that this was possible: “The crucial thing in 1951 was the relations that Eccles had behind the scenes with people in the Senate.”

Under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and later amendments to it, Congress exercises oversight over the Fed, its policies, and appointments to its Board of Governors. Although that relationship can sometimes be antagonistic, the central bank has long had powerful supporters in both parties on Capitol Hill and on its key committees. Since Trump launched his latest assault on the Fed, however, Republican senators have largely remained silent.

In an article published last year, Miran, Trump’s Harvard-trained nominee to the Fed board, called for “increased presidential oversight” of the board, and a clarification that “members serve at the will of the U.S. president.” At a recent nomination hearing, Miran vowed to make his own decisions at the Fed. But he has also insisted that, if he is confirmed to the vacant Fed post, which extends to the end of January, 2026, he will merely take a leave of absence from his job at the White House, breaking with the norm of cutting ties to avoid conflicts of interest. When I spoke on the phone with Senator Elizabeth Warren, the ranking minority member of the Banking Committee, last week, I mentioned that Ben Bernanke left the Bush White House to chair the Fed from 2006-14. “[Bernanke] actually left,” Warren replied, scornfully. “He didn’t keep a foot in the door with an option to return to his old job.” If Miran doesn’t resign from the White House, he would be “entirely dependent” on Trump, Warren added. And yet, despite all these warning signs, Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee nodded through Miran’s nomination with no defections. When the full Senate votes, a similar outcome seems inevitable. “If just four Senate Republicans had the courage to say no,” Warren said, “this craziness with the Fed would stop.”

For some old Washington hands, it may be a bit jarring to see the progressive firebrand Warren emerging as a prominent defender of the Fed. In the past, she has criticized the central bank for raising interest rates too sharply, failing to regulate banks adequately, turning a blind eye to dubious stock transactions by its officials, and not being sufficiently transparent or accountable. Miran, too, has called for more accountability. “But what Miran evidently means is accountability to one person—Donald Trump,” Warren told me. “I want a Fed that follows basic ethics rules more vigorously, that has an independent inspector general, and that is more transparent in its dealings. But I don’t want a Fed that elected officials—me or anyone else—can control.”

This is obviously what Trump wants, and it’s well within the bounds of possibility. If the Supreme Court buckles to him in the Cook case, as it has in many others, he will be able to nominate someone else to the Fed’s board, and the appointees from his first and second terms will be in the majority. Some Fed veterans are worried that the Trump appointees, at his instigation, could then exploit their position to fire all the regional-reserve-bank presidents, whose terms of office come up for renewal in February, 2026. In the past, these renewals, which take place every five years, have been a formality, but in theory they could be used to carry out a purge.

Would Republicans on Capitol Hill go along with a mass culling of regional Fed presidents? Based on their recent behavior, it’s not out of the question. Ultimately, the only binding constraint on Trump’s actions could be the reaction of investors, particularly purchasers of Treasury bonds. Lacker said a move against the regional presidents would likely be seen as “so drastic” that “it would trip some wires” in the sixty-trillion-dollar bond market. Back in April, markets tanked after Trump announced his “reciprocal” tariffs, and he backed off, at least in part.

The threat of a bond-market meltdown may be just about the only thing deterring a President who presided over the bankruptcy of multiple casino companies from gaining effective control of the entire U.S. economic-policymaking apparatus—fiscal, trade, and monetary. We aren’t there yet, but we are getting perilously close.

The Democrats are the party of Murder.

The Nazi/Trumptards will exterminate the Democrat/Jews for killing Charlie Kirk because Charlie would be pleased by the aroma of rising smoke from the crematoriums burning all Democrats:

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, on Monday blamed "terrorist networks" for Charlie Kirk's killing, despite law enforcement saying the suspected shooter acted alone.

Why it matters: Members of the MAGA movement began demanding retribution and calling for "war" with Democrats even before police had arrested a suspect or identified a motive. President Trump has stoked that furor.

The White House will use the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to "identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy" the alleged networks, Miller said to Vice President JD Vance, who hosted Monday's episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show."

Context: Police said the suspect, Tyler Robinson, acted alone.

As of Friday, police said they had no information that would lead to additional arrests. FBI director Kash Patel was criticized after the shooting for his handling of the investigation, including incorrectly announcing that a suspect was in custody.

Less than 24 hours after the shooting, Miller blamed "an ideology at war with family and nature" for Kirk's death.

"We see the workings of this ideology in every posting online cheering the evil assassination that cruelly robbed this nation of one of its greatest men," Miller wrote on X on Thursday.

The White House has ramped up its vow for vengeance with deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller promising to bring the resources of the federal government to bear against what he described as “terrorist networks.”

“It is a vast domestic terror movement,” said Miller, speaking of left-wing political organizations.

The US Alienation of India is Backfiring Badly

By Phillips P. OBrien | Sep 16, 2025

https://phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/the-us-alienation-of-india-is-b
ackfiring


Hello All,

Its been a few weeks now since Donald Trump embarked on his trade war with India—which has been given a movable feast of justifications, but which seems to have been originally motivated by the desire to punish the Indian government for not supporting the narrative that Trump settled the recent dispute between Pakistan and India.

The different arguments given for the US move, depending on when and who was speaking, range from a desire to punish India for buying Russian oil, to trying to pry open the Indian market for US agricultural goods, to trying to generally rebalance the trading relationship between the two states.

One thing is clear, though, and that is that the policy has had the definite impact of driving India away from the USA and closer to Russia and China. It has already strengthened the Russian war effort in a very short period of time, and provided the Russian war economy with fresh capital at a time when things are looking uncertain.

In August, instead of cutting back on their purchases of Russian oil, the Indians jumped in and seemed to buy all that they could. They almost matched the Chinese for crude oil purchases that month, buying €2.7 billions worth when compared to the Chinese total of €2.9 billion. This was a real benefit to the Russian economy as the Chinese purchase represented a real drop from the €4.1 billion of Russian crude they bought in July.

And this was only part of Indian purchases of Russian energy. Overall, India’s fossil fuel imports from Russia reached €3.6 billion in August, including €510 million in coal and €282 million in refined products.

And the Indians in buying so much crude are helping the Russians cope with the effects of the Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries. With Russian refining capacity being reduced, the Russians could be faced with a massive crude storage problem soon. However the Indians are stepping in and providing the Russians a market to ship their unrefined oil—which the Indians then refine themselves.

The Indians now seem to be going to great lengths to show that they will not bow to Trump’s pressure. Very depressingly, the Indians are sending a small contingent of military personnel to take part in the soon to start ZAPAD military maneuvers. The Indian official statement about the move says it was intended to “further strengthen defence co-operation and foster camaraderie between India and Russia, thereby reinforcing the spirit of collaboration and mutual trust”

At the same time, the Indians are working with the Chinese to improve relations. Now these steps are less dramatic than the billions of crude oil that the Indians are purchasing from Russia, and the Indian-Chinese relationship will always be volatile as the two have a long-standing border dispute. However in the last weeks the Indians and Chinese have agreed to restart direct flights between the two countries for the first time in five years, and discussions between the two about improving diplomatic and economic relations have picked up steam.

In other words, what the Indian government has done, entirely rationally if regrettably after Trump singled them out for tariffs in this way, was not to come crawling and dance to America’s tunes, but to recalibrate away from the USA. That means better relations with (and more money going to) Russia and China from India.

And if anything, the US move has not given the US the upper hand in trade negotiations with India. It’s worth noting that it's Trump who is now all over the place in his descriptions of the US-Indian relationship. When it first became apparent that what he had done was drive India closer to China and Russia, resulting in the Putin, Xi, Modi threesome in China, Trump got angry on September 6 and tweeted out "Looks like we've lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!"

Then, he tried to be all sweetness and light, doing a semi-grovel to try and demonstrate that he wanted to get along with India. He tweeted about talking with his good friend Prime Minister Modi—trying to be all sweetness and light now that his move has backfired. He sent this out on September 9.

I am pleased to announce that India, and the United States of America, are continuing negotiations to address the trade barriers between our two nations. I look forward to speaking with my very good friend, Prime Minister Modi, in the coming weeks. I feel certain that there will be no difficulty in coming to a successful conclusion for both of our great countries!

And yet no deal has emerged. Trump is just looking weak and desperate.

In other words, Trump’s policies towards India have backfired and hurt Ukraine and helped Russia. And they have hurt the USA as well.

Keep digging your hole deeper. You might never see another day outside of Prison after I'm finished with you.

Good luck. You'll need it.

Have you wondered why you keep getting called a Nazi



I already know why I get called a Nazi by you two. And make no mistake, it is ONLY by you two.

And there are two reasons for it...

REASON #1: You are both self-righteous bullies who get off on beating people down with personal insults while getting high sniffing each other's farts, and for the last 12 years you were both goaded into it and you were praised by the Legacy Media for doing it.

REASON #2: You are both little sissies hiding behind your handles that wouldn't dare say that to my face in real life. Period.

The same that could be said about you both could also be said about all the rest of you barely literate, heavily indoctrinated, headline-only-reading, terminally online, dopamine addicted, clickbait addict, Leftist cultist idiots lacking any ability for critical thinking or self-agency who feel as though they have a license to advocate for the death of anyone they disagree with at any point in time as many times as they feel like it, and then laugh when somebody finally gets shot at and/or killed.

And then when you finally get called on it and you realized that I was right all along and the entire world you knew died eight months ago, you start crying and begging like wounded little animals. You both are the textbook definition of pathetic. You are not men. You are both little bitches. MY little screen bitches.

Nobody in the country gives a single fuck what either of you think or say anymore. Those days were already sliding evermore quickly from your grasp, just as I told you they were before I even started this thread, but they ended on September 10th, 2025.

Full Stop.

And if you ever once spent five minutes outside of your MSNBC clickbait bubble and watched the real news with all the live video footage and without everything being presented out-of-context as a rule, you'd realize that nobody in the entire fucking world gives a single shit about your opinion right now either.

Even the South Koreans were out in the streets singing Charlie Kirk's name the other night.

Everything you thought you knew is false history, and the truth is coming out for everyone to see. And you are now an endangered species.

I would highly advise you to do a better job at protecting yourself going forward, because nobody else is going to do it for you anymore.


Meanwhile, here's an archived list of every time you called for somebody's assassination, along with murder fantasies you've had about other members here over the years:

http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=65116

I know you thought it was funny at the time, and you got a good laugh out of me making this list and even suggested I send it to the Secret Service on more than one occasion while not taking it seriously at all.

But you and I both know it's not so funny anymore, now don't we?



And when everybody else sees what you've been posting here over the years, everyone is going to know who the real Nazi here was all along.

It was you, it was you, it was you...

It was you, it was you, it was you...





Good luck. You'll need it.

Trump claims the power to levy trillions of dollars worth of new taxes without seeking new legislation from Congress.

Ten federal judges have concluded that Trump exceeded his authority when he imposed many of the ever-shifting import taxes that have defined his second term in office. And the amount of money at stake here is massive — Trump’s lawyers estimate that the tariffs “will reduce federal deficits by $4 trillion in the coming years.”

The United States has prevented its taxing power from becoming a tool of tyranny by vesting this power in an elected Congress. The Constitution provides that “Congress,” and not the president, “shall have the Power to lay and collect Taxes.”

In V.O.S. Selections, however, Trump claims the power to raise trillions of dollars worth of new taxes without first seeking Congress’s permission to do so.

Never heard of Scotusblog before, but a little online research makes it sound like they're owned by those NeoCon cocksuker types.

Are you bouncing on Liz Cheney's cock again in 2025, Second?

Trump Goes Full Fascist After Simple Question on His Business Deals

Donald Trump threatened retribution against Australia after an Australian reporter asked about the business deals he’s making while in office.

Lyons’s questions come amid reports of Trump’s fortune having ballooned while in office and the ways he’s profited off the presidency. On Monday, for instance, The New York Times published an exposé of two overlapping deals: one in which an Emirati royal’s firm invested $2 billion in a Trump family crypto business and another in which the United Arab Emirates will receive hundreds of thousands of advanced AI chips.

The White House denies the deals were linked—and, per the Times, there’s no evidence they constituted an explicit quid pro quo. (If they did, though, it would represent the biggest public corruption scandal in U.S. history by far, according to a former White House economist.)

Trump’s rapid-response social media team declared his outburst at Lyons to be a moment of strength, triumphantly tweeting that the president had “smack[ed] down a rude foreign Fake News loser.”

In return for Sheikh Tahnoon’s investment firm depositing $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency start-up founded by the Witkoffs and Trumps, the White House agreed to give the U.A.E. — in particular, a sprawling technology firm controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon —access to hundreds of thousands of the world’s most advanced and scarce computer chips, despite national security concerns that the chips could be shared with China.

This is just the top of the iceberg of Trump’s crypto corruption.

Because it's all Left wing violence.

All the mass shootings are Left wing. All of the assassinations and assassination attempts are Left wing. All of the individual shootings are minority gang violence in blue city shitholes.

Street abortionist meth head George Floyd commits suicide by cop and you cause billions of dollars worth of damage burning down cities for an entire summer. Then you defund the police and install DAs that put criminals right back on the street to rape and murder again and again and again.

Then on the flip side, Charlie Kirk gets assassinated and people worldwide are holding candlelight vigils and singing. And this coming not more than a week after we see a 22 year old Ukrainian refugee mercilessly stabbed to death on a train by a black guy who had been arrested 22 times before while saying "I got that white girl" over and over and over again as his bloody knife drops her blood all over the train car.

The Left is always bitching about guns, but they are the only ones using them irresponsibly.

You couldn't even name the last right winger with a gun without googling it first it's been so long.

And your biggest problem is that everyone opened up their eyes and saw reality around them instead of your clickbait bullshit and they hate you for spreading it
