Watch every minute of Trump's face during this clip. Yes, he can be bombastic and crude, but also the most genuinely compassionate. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone quite like him, but I'm glad to know he's our president.

@VigilantFox I paid $98 to send a UPS overnight letter today. Domestically. WTF!!!! I seem to remember not too long ago an overnight letter under $20.

You’ve probably noticed something else that doesn’t quite make sense at first glance. While your dollars feel weaker, certain assets seem to be moving in the opposite direction. Bill put numbers to it. Gold is up around 40% in a year. Silver is up about 120%. Over a longer stretch, both up “over 100% each.” But he reframed what that actually means. He explained that gold isn’t magically becoming more valuable, it’s that “the dollar is just buying less gold.” In other words, the price isn’t just rising, the measuring stick is shrinking. That shift becomes more important when you realize who’s paying attention. Bill pointed out that central banks are “doing the exact opposite thing of what they’re telling people to do.” They’re accumulating gold and silver while encouraging everyone else to stay inside the system. That contradiction matters. “If the people in charge are doing one thing and telling you to do another,” he said, “that should be a red flag.” And this isn’t subtle anymore. Central banks across the world have been buying gold at some of the fastest rates in decades. Countries like China, India, and Russia have been steadily increasing their reserves, while institutions tied to the system continue signaling concerns about long-term currency stability. At the same time, major financial players like JPMorgan Chase have been stockpiling physical silver, not just trading paper contracts, but taking delivery of the real thing. That tells you something. Because the people closest to the system aren’t guessing. They’re positioning. And silver isn’t just a monetary hedge. It’s being pulled in two directions at once. Bill called it a “double tailwind,” and you can see why. It’s essential for electronics, energy systems, data centers, and the infrastructure driving AI and automation. Demand isn’t slowing down. It’s accelerating.

Picture this: It’s 1971. A gallon of gas costs 36 cents, the average home runs about $25,000, and an ounce of gold is fixed at $35. Then President Richard Nixon closes the gold window, ending the dollar’s direct link to gold. From that moment, the U.S. monetary system shifts entirely to system of trust in the Federal Reserve. Fast-forward to today. That same home now costs well over $400,000. Gas prices have surged to around $4 a gallon. And inflation, once averaging around 2% a year, is now hitting Americans at what feels like 20% or more over just a few years, especially when they’re standing in the grocery store aisle. Most people don’t realize how deeply they’re trapped in a system built on debt. They earn, spend, and save in a currency that steadily loses purchasing power over time. But starting July 1, 2026, Florida is giving its residents a practical alternative. Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 999 in May 2025, formally recognizing qualifying gold and silver coins as legal tender for the payment of debts. The final rules were ratified this year through HB 1311, locking in the launch date. The rules are clear and voluntary. No one—individual, business, or government agency—is required to accept or use them. The U.S. dollar remains the everyday currency. What makes this different is the combination of options it creates. Physical coins can change hands through private agreements. For practical use, especially larger payments like real estate or taxes, the law enables electronic transfers through licensed custodians. The legislation also removes Florida’s sales tax on qualifying gold and silver purchases and eliminates the previous $500 threshold, lowering the cost of entry and making gold and silver purchases far more straightforward. Effectively, Florida made gold and silver not just assets you buy and hold, but something you can actually use to make purchases in your daily life. Florida is not acting alone. Six other states already recognize gold and silver as legal tender in some form: Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Idaho. Texas has enacted similar phased legislation that begins taking effect in September 2026. And as Americans lose faith in the dollar, that matters. Because Floridians now have a reliable second option in gold and silver, which have historically held value when paper currencies have not. To break down this evolving landscape, what it means for gold and silver, and how Americans can begin using them in their daily lives, Bill Armour from Genesis Gold joins us now. 🧵

@realpeteyb123 I'm trying to imagine what Hunter Biden might deliver to the pentagon for $24 million. Other than a half ton of cocaine all I can imagine is a few dozen rail cars of his "art".

Presidents son won a defense contract! What are the odds? Imagine this was Hunter Biden? You all are hypocrites.

@nicksortor @KenCuccinelli Here is a wild conspiracy theory. The R's knew all along the proposal would be ruled unconstitutional so they cleverly allowed themselves to be outspent 100 to 1 to trick the D's into burning up a ton of their cash on a totally lost cause. After SPLC I'll believe anything.

BREAKING: A Virginia Circuit Court has just ruled yesterday's redistricting vote UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and has issued an injunction BLOCKING the results from being certified, per @KenCuccinelli This is BIG. It’s NOT over yet! 🔥 It's very likely this will end up at the state Supreme Court, who will make the final decision. Keep fighting!

@MJTruthUltra So the Patriot Front, those khaki wearing mfers, who suspiciously showed up whenever "white supremacy" appeared to fade away, were actually the SPLC Front? I thought they were feds, but this makes even more sense.

Southern Poverty Law Center 2018: “Patriots Front is a white nationalist hate group that split off from the Neo-Nazi Vanguard” Today, we discovered THEY FUNDED the Patriot Front

@laralogan I'm sure some Senator will find this awesome.

Silence?

@ShannonBream @MZHemingway You must not be flying Spirit, Frontier, or basic economy.

I fly. A. Lot. One place I can say chivalry is not dead is on flights. On nearly every flight I take I see men of all ages offering to help women of all ages with heavy bags they are putting in/taking out of overhead bins. I’ve never seen a woman get offended or refuse the help. Not saying that never happens, I just haven’t witnessed it. But thank you to the good dudes who offer! (My luggage is one of the primary reasons I lift 2-3 times a week, so I can get it done when I need to!)

@nypost You shouldn't worry about a yes to this proposal. The Dems have promised that this is only a temporary measure and in 2030 the redistricting will revert to the way it is now. Believe that and you are the biggest sucker ever born. Dems never reverse a tax and never keep promises

@RedPillRabbit @CShaw5457 What a coincidence. We were just informed that ending TPS for Haitians was a terrible idea because so many are contributing by working in healthcare. Just lovely. Can we at least end TPS for the fake nurses? And their families? And their anchor babies?

🚨🚨 CAUGHT: Over 7,600 fake diplomas were distributed for NURSING JOBS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES! The investigation involved many international nursing candidates, including those from INDIA and HAITI who purchased these credentials to work in the U.S. Aspiring nurses bought fake documents to pass the NCLEX (nursing board exam) and get licensed in various states, securing nursing jobs across the U.S. oig.hhs.gov/fraud/enforcem…

@OwenGregorian The robot race is far more entertaining than the human one by a mile.

Humanoid robot beats human half-marathon world record by 7 minutes at Beijing race with 112 teams | Ana Maria Constantin, The Next Web A humanoid robot named Lightning completed the Beijing E-Town Half-Marathon today in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human world record by nearly seven minutes. The robot, built by Shenzhen Honor Smart Technology Development Co., navigated the 21-kilometre course autonomously, without remote control, using multi-sensor fusion and real-time decision-making algorithms. A second Lightning unit, this one remotely controlled, crossed the finish line even faster at 48 minutes and 19 seconds. The human half-marathon world record is 57 minutes and 20 seconds, set by Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo in Lisbon on 8 March. The robots and the roughly 12,000 human runners followed the same route but competed in separate lanes. The human race was won by Zhao Haijie of China in 1 hour, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds. The robot race was won by a machine that stands 169 centimetres tall, has an effective leg length of 95 centimetres designed to mimic elite human runners, generates 400 newton-metres of peak torque, and uses a proprietary liquid cooling system with a heat exchange flow rate exceeding four litres per minute, technology borrowed from Honor’s smartphone division. The scale of the event This was the second edition of the Robot World Humanoid Robot Games Half-Marathon, co-hosted by the Beijing Municipal People’s Government and China Media Group. The first, held on the same date last year, was riddled with mishaps. Only six of 21 robotic runners completed the course. Several stumbled, careened out of control, or simply lay down at the starting line. The winner, a Tiangong Ultra robot, finished in 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 42 seconds. The 2026 edition was a different event in almost every respect. One hundred and twelve teams from 26 brands entered, fielding more than 300 individual robots, including five international teams from Germany, France, and Brazil. Roughly 40% of the teams competed in the autonomous navigation category, in which robots must navigate the course without human input. Remote-controlled teams had their net times multiplied by a 1.2 coefficient, a 20% penalty designed to encourage autonomous capability. All three podium finishers in the autonomous category were Honor robots, and all three posted times faster than the human world record. The improvement from 2025 to 2026, from six finishers out of 21 to more than 100 teams competing with autonomous navigation, represents the kind of year-over-year progress that makes the event significant beyond spectacle. Lightning still collided with a barricade near the finish line and fell, requiring staff to help it back up before it completed the race. Another robot fell at the start line. But the failures were exceptions rather than the norm, a reversal from last year. Who built the winner Honor, the smartphone manufacturer spun off from Huawei in 2020, is the first major phone company to enter the humanoid robotics market. It unveiled its humanoid robot programme at Mobile World Congress on 1 March and committed $10 billion over five years to AI development. The company says Lightning’s running speed of four metres per second is 14% faster than Boston Dynamics’ Atlas. The entire development-to-marathon-entry process took one year. Du Xiaodi, an Honor engineer on the winning team, said the competition’s value lies in technology transfer: “Looking ahead, some of these technologies might be transferred to other areas. For example, structural reliability and liquid-cooling technology could be applied in future industrial scenarios.” The race functions as a forcing function for locomotion, balance, navigation, and endurance, the same capabilities required for factory floors, construction sites, and eventually domestic environments. China’s humanoid robot industry The marathon is a showcase for an industry that China is building with the kind of coordinated state investment it previously applied to electric vehicles and solar panels. The 15th Five-Year Plan, covering 2026 to 2030, elevates robotics and “embodied intelligence” to one of the country’s top ten “new industry tracks.” The government has committed a one-trillion-yuan ($138 billion) state-backed fund to humanoid robots, industrial automation, and embodied AI. In February, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology unveiled the “Humanoid Robot and Embodied Intelligence Standard System,” drafted by more than 120 research institutions and manufacturers, with a roadmap to push Chinese standards into ISO and IEC international adoption by 2028. MIIT describes humanoid robots as “the next groundbreaking innovation following computers, smartphones, and new-energy vehicles.” The industry is projected to surpass 20 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) in scale by the end of this year. Chinese companies already dominate production. AGIBOT shipped more than 5,000 units in 2025. Unitree Robotics shipped 5,500. UBTech shipped more than 1,000 and plans to reach 5,000 this year and 10,000 in 2027. Chinese firms accounted for nearly 90% of global humanoid robot shipments last year. By comparison, Boston Dynamics, Figure AI, and Agility Robotics each shipped approximately 150 units. The gap between running and usefulness The question the marathon raises is whether speed on a road translates into capability in a factory or a home. Western humanoid robot companies, including Tesla with Optimus, Figure AI, and those supplying BMW, have emphasised dexterity and manipulation: picking up objects, assembling components, navigating cluttered indoor environments. Chinese companies have invested heavily in bipedal locomotion and speed, which produces more dramatic demonstrations but addresses a narrower slice of the problem. The global humanoid robot market is projected to reach somewhere between $6.5 billion and $15 billion by 2030, depending on the research firm, with Goldman Sachs estimating $38 billion by 2035. The spread in projections reflects genuine uncertainty about how quickly robots that can run a half marathon will learn to do things that people will pay for. Industrial deployment is advancing: Figure 02 completed an 11-month pilot at a BMW plant, moving more than 90,000 components. But the gap between a controlled factory deployment and the kind of general-purpose humanoid robot that China showcased at its Spring Festival Gala remains wide. Lightning’s 50-minute half-marathon is a genuine engineering achievement. A robot that navigates 21 kilometres autonomously, maintains balance at 25 kilometres per hour, manages thermal loads through liquid cooling, and recovers from a collision with a barricade has demonstrated capabilities that did not exist in any humanoid platform a year ago. The question is not whether the technology is impressive. It is whether the country investing $138 billion in it will find applications that justify the spending before the rest of the world catches up on a different approach to the same problem.

@AdamKoffler Sorry kids. You're not "entitled" to buy your dream home. I'm a boomer and have always looked at the really nice house and said nope, can't afford. I've only bought what and where I could comfortably afford. You can't always get what you want. Grow up.

Here’s Dave Ramsey’s advice on buying a house in the year 2026: - Have 20% for a down payment to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) - Do a 15-year fixed rate loan - Make sure your monthly payment isn’t more than 1/4th of your take home pay Let’s put that math to the test 👇🏼

@PolitiBunny @RealDeanCain The wording of this proposal is so biased right out of the gate. Who wouldn't want to "restore fairness"? The fix is in, so blatantly, it seems obvious this state and election is crooked. Really surprised there weren't court proceedings filed to challenge the deceitful phrasing.

When we first moved to Virginia 10 years ago, a lot of people warned me about how we'd be treated if we lived 'south of the river.' At the time, I didn't get it (and you know me, I didn't really care), but with this redistricting bit, I'm finally seeing it. There is absolutely a divide in Virginia. There is the heart and soul of the state, the people who have lived here for generations. And then there are the people who moved here after ruining their own states with their blue policies. And now, those same people are trying to destroy what's left of the Commonwealth, while insisting rural Virginia is out of luck. 'LAND DOESN'T VOTE,' they declare. They're fine with handing the Commonwealth over to politicians in D.C. like Hakeem Jeffries, because Virginia is not their home. They have no loyalty to this amazing state, where our country began. And it shows. So, it's up to us rednecks in rural Virginia to save her. I believe we can do it... I just need you to believe we can. Show up. Please. Vote NO.

@TRobinsonNewEra @hrkbenowen Does the pope not understand that the Islamist goal is to evict him and turn St Peter's Basilica into a mosque?

Pope Leo criticized Catholics who view Muslim immigration to Europe as a threat to Christian identity, stating: "Fears are created by those who oppose immigration and seek to exclude those who might come from another country, from another religion." 🤡
