Goldback has announced the expansion of their wildly popular currency to include a sixth state series. After producing unique bills for their five denominations for Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and South Dakota, the precious metals manufacturer is adding a Florida series. With 22 million residents, it’s the third most populous state and by far the largest state in their inventory.
Daniel spoke about free speech restrictions in the UK and the EU; the EU letter to Elon Musk trying to muzzle his interview with Trump; is NYS salvageable politically? Is Abbott effectively blocking the border in Texas? Has the left forced Musk to become politically engaged against them? Is Silicon Valley going softer/more rational in its stance towards electricity production? Iran’s race to have usable nuclear weapons; why is America sending more ships to the Middle East? Why hasn’t Kamala been handed the presidency? Ilhan Omar won her primary—were there shenanigans? Does 2A really protect our freedom?
Kamala’s pick of Walz for V.P.; are there enough non-citizens registered to vote to tilt the election anyway? Our hosts disagree whether Walz was a good pick, as he could motivate their base; Raskin’s threat to toss election results because of 14th amendment; does he have a point? the riots in the UK; the Trump assassination attempt—incompetence or conspiracy? the rescinding of the proposed deal for the 911 hijackers; google losing an antitrust lawsuit; the crypto crash and the stock market crash; when will the crypto supply hit its ceiling? The male (intersex?) boxer in the Olympics; Florida constitutional carry banning open carry.
We all know about the Fifth Amendment and the protection against self-incrimination. If a person does not wish to speak to a government official, they can “plead the fifth” and then remain silent. There are countless examples of people who unwittingly give cops and prosecutors the rope they eventually use to hang them at trial. It is almost always best to say nothing to government agents. Anything you say or do really WILL be used against you by cops. They are not “cool” or “just making conversation.” They are cleverly manipulating you into digging your own grave. Shut up and say nothing except “I invoke my Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights to remain silent and be provided with a lawyer.” This is literally the advice that cops, lawyers, and judges give to their own children about interacting with police.
British reaction to kamala’s nomination of which per Daniel, there is very little; the knife attack in Southport; we still don’t know who Kamala’s VP pick is and the nomination voting starts tomorrow; did the Trump campaign destroy project 2025 and thereby alienate allies and potential allies? The aftermath of the Venezuelan elections; J6 compared to Boston Massacre—was J6 worse for the citizenry? The Olympics opening ceremony and its mocking of the Last Supper; cryptocurrency;
Media being shown as having gaslit the public re Biden’s health and erasing the fact that Kamala was border czar; what does it mean that Obama hasn’t endorsed Kamala? Do the “powers that be” really believe that Biden has been so consequential and does that account for being replaced by Kamala, rather than an alternative? How bad is it that Kamala boycotted the speech by Netanyahu? Is the democratic party the party of Hamas? How worrying is Trump’s public rejection of Project 2025? Is the most to be expected of Trump to put the brakes on America’s downslide and is there no chance of him putting us into reverse?
On Sunday afternoon, Joe Biden announced that he is no longer seeking reelection to be president, leaving the Democrats without a nominee less than four months before the general election. Prior to today, Biden has consistently insisted that he would not drop out; he would beat Trump at the ballot box in November. Evidently, “the Democratic elite, corporate media, and billionaire donors successfully pressured the candidate chosen by Democratic primary voters to drop out because he's down in the polls and losing,”
On June 13th, the SCOTUS published its opinion in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (2024), in which it unanimously ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing and therefore could not even legally sue the FDA. This decision reversed a ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which we touched on in a 2023 article.
TRUMP SHOT BY ASSASSIN!! Survives bullet to the head?!?! Incompetence or worse on the part of those in charge of security; was the shooter a patsy? Was this a high-level conspiracy? Was there an element of trying to humiliate Biden in allowing this lapse in security? Why is Trump speaking in terms of “unity”? the choice of Vance for VP; Is Vance impeachment insurance? The dismissal of the Smith case against Trump as violating the appointments clause; carrying and owning guns under the age 21; should there be a single age for adulthood? Biden going after SCOTUS and trying to circumvent the constitution; are term limits a good idea for Justices? Menendez conviction;
