@SecScottBessent @FT Oh Scott go back to your job being a rubber stamp and a power bottom

By publishing this explicitly false story, the @FT has officially become tabloid trash for market participants. Despite my direct, on-the-record denial of ever having advocated, explored, or espoused the idea that Chancellor-Bank of England statute serving as a prototype for a Treasury-Federal Reserve relationship, FT journalists manufactured a story with the headline, “Scott Bessent praised Bank of England as model for tighter oversight of the Federal Reserve.” These pathetic journalists have clearly fabricated a story to give the impression that both I and the Trump Administration are setting “about restructuring the relationship… at a time when President Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the world’s most important central bank.” Their mendacious assertion is based on vague statements from unnamed “financial industry executives familiar with the matter.” In short, FT has literally manufactured an entirely fake policy position for me and the Administration. Other than furthering a maliciously false narrative of dysfunction and divisiveness, it baffles the mind as to why they would shred their already diminished journalistic credibility. Over the past 10 years, I have written more than 20,000 words opining on the Federal Reserve decisions, personnel, structure, and modifications. Nowhere have I ever mentioned this ridiculous notion. The Governor’s letters to the Chancellor have proven to be a useless and perfunctory device. There is much to be said about the storied Bank of England, but any recreation of its operating framework on this side of the Atlantic has never been contemplated. The shameful journalists and editors at the FT are shocking in their meretriciousness, lack of standards, and general intellectual libertinism. It is the worst tradition of Fleet Street to manufacture news rather than report on it. They have brought irredeemable shame to their parent organization, Nikkei Inc., with whom I had previously held excellent relations. In 2025, I laid out a comprehensive 6,000+ word review of each and every policy reform that I believe should be adopted by the Federal Reserve.

@CollinRugg @OldeWorldOrder Ha! Traffic laws are so unenforced in cities in this country that outside of downtown, highly visible areas, no one gives pedestrians the right of way if there isn’t a traffic signal.

@OldeWorldOrder Why not paint a crosswalk with flashing lights if they care about saving lives? Because that costs money, it doesn't make money like this trick does.

NEW: The LAPD is setting up drivers by having someone walk across the street in an "unmarked crosswalk" so they can then give tickets to people who don't stop. "Recently, LAPD Van Nuys division conducted a Pedestrian Enforcement Taskforce," they shared online. The LAPD says the trap was made to "promote education" after they've "had a string of accidents that have resulted in fatal or severe injuries related to pedestrians."

@LyndieWho @BuzzPatterson @Trumpgirl401 Amazing what happens when you don’t wear mask, harass citizens, and threaten to make someone “have a very bad day”. Gtfoh

@BuzzPatterson @Trumpgirl401

ICE agents shown ripping families apart and shooting people.

@SenFettermanPA Yes, he totally fired her because you said so 🙄…John Fetterman, your brain is scrambled eggs and the decisions you make and the rationale are truly mind boggling.

In January, I called on the president to fire Noem—and he did. I truly approached the confirmation of my colleague and friend, Senator Mullin, with an open-mind. We need a leader at DHS. We must reopen DHS. My AYE is rooted in a strong committed, constructive working relationship with Senator Mullin for our nation’s security.

@SharrellAnne2 Sympathies to you but you also don’t get to put others loved ones in jeopardy under the guise of “revenge” when it is becoming apparent day by day that this administration has no real plan besides death and destruction which leads to more proxies who kill more husbands

Gold Star wife here. When ISIS killed your wife, you supported going after the people responsible. You understood exactly why we were fighting and never called it “Israel’s war.” My husband, Alan, was killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq. And now, after decades, the fight is finally leading back to the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. You understood it when it was your loss. Now you’re minimizing it when it’s mine. You don’t get to redefine this war just because it’s not your grief anymore.

@DrPepperTexan @kcdc25 @LibertyLockPod @jules3rdtry So Trump is a liar? Thanks for confirming

Yes, Trump did. It would appear that Trump was being overly optimistic. At the time, I recall everyone saying that we wouldn’t know for some time whether the strikes had been successful. It appears they were not, and Trump was being premature. That being said, the problem still remains. Do we allow Iran to possess a nuclear weapon? The answer to that question is rather simple: No, and hell no!

Mike Johnson says "I don't know where Joe Kent was getting his information" in his resignation over the Iran war I can help, Mike. He was the Director of Counterterrorism. He had access to all the same info you did. He just wasn't willing to lie about it.

@borris_k @SportsJunky94 @RajChipalu Leave a guy shooting 39% from 3 with over 100 3’s taken the last 30 games? If so, pass me them Nuggies!

@SportsJunky94 @RajChipalu Because he isn't and leaving Smart is what you live with.

Love how Denver tried to hide Jokic on Smart and Lakers said nope. Involved right away in the action while Smart confidently steps into the three.

He’s here, he’s there, he’s every f’n where! Brazile, Brazile! @RazorbackMBB

@BartDePalma @NicholasTyrone Socialism? Fucker, Trump has injected himself into every aspect of American life and you retards are still crying about socialism?? Spineless idiots

@NicholasTyrone Pretext to impose socialism. Still a thing in Europe. US socialists are in reactive mode against anything Trump does.

It is astounding how pretty much the entire left have given up on climate change as an issue. It was omnipresent for ages, and now it barely features at all in leftist discourse. Sort of makes you wonder if their commitment to it was ever real.

@DaKidGowie @LylesTerrence We know you’re a child who just started watching basketball when you make a dumb reply like this

@LylesTerrence Kobe scored 81 against the 14-27 Raptors.

Trying to discredit an 83-point performance in the NBA is crazy. More proof that people aren't watching sports for the love anymore; they watch to critique.

@LauraLoomer @RealCandaceO Say it with me now….DEI

Hi @RealCandaceO Since everything is a conspiracy to you, let me explain: Before Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September, had been selected by President Trump to serve on the Air Force Academy board last year. "Erika is the right person to fill Charlie’s place on the Board and continue his work of inspiring the next generation of service members and advancing the Academy," Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, said. Charlie was appointed. He is now dead, so to honor him, his wife is taking his spot. Not everything is a conspiracy.

She’s a grieving widow so we have no right to ask what the hell qualifies her to a position advising our Defense Department. This is all perfectly normal and only people who are DEMONIC would question this appointment.

@SecKennedy I thought you guys were about personal choice??

No one is taking away your Dunkin'. But isn't it reasonable to ask whether a drink loaded with 180 grams of sugar is safe?

@LockheedMartin @realDonaldTrump @SecWar Hahaha there it goes. The military industrial complex wins again!

We have agreed to quadruple critical munitions production. As a result of President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, we began this work months ago with @SecWar Hegseth and Deputy Secretary Feinberg.

@Cheffy81Goldman @Hero_OfThe_Day Who gives a fuck about Jack Hughs or hockey on a basketball post?

@Hero_OfThe_Day Compare this to Jack Hughs who got multiple teeth knocked out and came back to score the winning gold medal goal. If that happened to LJ he’d be on IR for weeks

LeBron James last night fell to the ground writhing in pain, replay showed that he hit nothing of significance despite him grabbing both arms, and screaming as if he’d been hit by a car. He then exits the game. Lakers go on a run, as they show a trainer working on his left arm. They cut the lead to 1, and LeBron suddenly gets worried that the Lakers look better without him, so he stops faking to reenter the game with a couple minutes left. Lakers momentum is instantly zapped, and the team doesn’t score another basket until there’s 7 seconds left in the game. After the game he said that he “hit his funny bone”. LeBron James isn’t a Top 10 NBA player— NEVER put his name in a sentence with Michael Jordan. (Video via @famouslos32)

@greg_price11 MAGA loves DEI…for white people

Yes, Markwayne Mullin is the only Senator without a Bachelor's Degree because at age 20, he took over his father's plumbing company when he became ill and built it into a multi-million dollar business. Having a college degree doesn't automatically make you a smart or successful person.

@MTMehan @grok fact check this

Just a small note: former presidents, until Obama, did not engage in active politics after office as he is now doing. The reason: once someone has been given centralized and unified control of government power as the head of the country and of all military, clandestine, and diplomatic powers, it is considered tyrannical to attempt to use that power once out of constitutional office, even by means of soft power influence over either those powers or the people in general. It was the custom, from Washington to George W. Bush, to avoid using the glamour of highest office over the people after having served in the office of presidency. So when people get angry about norms being violated, just remember: there are crude ways to violate norms, but there are also very gentile and silky ways to violate them as well.

@BronMuse Banging on them b*tch ninjas

LeBron James on this day in 2022 vs the Warriors: 56 PTS 10 REB 3 AST 6 3PM 19-31 FG 76% TS He was 37 years old playing like this at the CENTER position 😮‍💨🐐

@VigilantFox Yea she’s eating up MAGA talking points. 1. If you don’t think a country with an 80 year old leader had a succession plan, you’re retarted. 2. If you think that Iranians are going to cozy up to US and Israel, you’re retarted. 3. Just retarted. Russia, China’s #1 ally still exist

“The View” guest co-host SHUTS DOWN panel’s hysteria over Trump’s strategic strike on Iran. Ana Navarro suggested Trump was starting a war to distract from the Epstein Files. The conservative co-host answered with three points that tore her narrative to shreds. 1. “We have 47 million Iranian women who now have a hope of freedom. That’s a good thing.” 2. “We have a disgusting, disgusting terrorist regime ended, and the people finally have hope to create their own nation again.” Point #3 was unexpectedly insightful. She said: “This is actually avoiding a boots-on-the-ground war with China when we are able to CHOKE their oil supply.” “They’ve cut the oil supply from Venezuela, and they’ve now reduced it and CHOKED the oil supply to China in Iran. And now what that does is presumably prevent China from having an absolute stronghold on the globe. So this is a strategic move geopolitically…”

@QuoteForum Reminder that Westbrick never has and never will play winning basketball.

Russ to the Lakers: “Ball don’t lie! Ball don’t lie’ Watch how you brick yo free throws. I’m just saying man, yall f*king garbage. Finna be at the bottom of the league when Bron leave to Cleveland.” 😳

@RandPaul MAGA has went from America First to Israel’s personal protectors. Shit is pathetic.

As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true: “Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.” Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet. But as Adam’s wrote, America:  “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.” The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.   Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.” As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.   But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.
