Jerome Powell has no doubt committed fraud. Who in theor right mind spends $4.1 BILLION renovating two Federal Reserve Buildings that was not even in bad condition. Unbelievable.

Something appears to have snapped in Minnesota, as chaos, political pressure, and street violence escalate all at once.

Reports indicate a DOJ grand jury is circling Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, sending shockwaves through state politics.

At the same time, anti-ICE and ANTIFA-style mobs have escalated from protests to storming a Christian church in St. Paul, shouting down pastors and worshippers during a Sunday service.

Video shows activists chanting slogans like “ICE out” inside the sanctuary, raising serious concerns about religious freedom and First Amendment violations.

Conservatives are pointing to a stark double standard, comparing the lack of enforcement against church disruptors to the Biden DOJ’s armed FBI raid on pro-life Catholic father Mark Houck, who was later acquitted.

Calls are growing for churchgoers to file police reports, pursue civil lawsuits, and demand accountability from city leaders who appear to be enabling intimidation.

Violence spilled into the streets when MAGA journalist Nick Sortor was attacked, robbed of his equipment, and dragged nearly 300 yards by a car, according to eyewitness footage.

As law enforcement morale fractures, Border Patrol leadership urged officers to uphold the rule of law or resign, prompting reports that 21 officers quit while 18 joined ICE.

Meanwhile, a political bombshell dropped as Michael Cohen admitted he was pressured by New York AG Letitia James and DA Alvin Bragg to “get Trump” before the election, raising alarms about politically motivated lawfare.

Cohen claims prosecutors pushed a pre-written narrative, reinforcing fears that justice was weaponized against President Trump.

Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer openly vowed that Democrats would impeach Trump again in 2026 and restore spending cuts, including USAID programs critics now label elite slush funds.

Democrats are also pushing to create another January 6th committee, even as Republican investigations point to FBI involvement and unanswered security failures.

With unrest growing and institutions under strain, many Americans are asking whether President Trump will invoke every legal tool available — including the Insurrection Act — to restore law and order.https://youtu.be/wpB5gBYal5k?si=M3aFogTrDxacewQB

President Trump is calling for the arrest of Rep. Ilhan Omar amid explosive new allegations tying her to a reported $19 BILLION Minnesota fraud scheme — just as she implodes during testimony on Capitol Hill.

At the same time, Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer introduces new legislation aimed at deporting convicted fraudsters, escalating the political fallout.

Meanwhile, the DOJ launches an investigation into radical protesters who stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday services — and files lawsuits against Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly obstructing federal law enforcement.

The Pentagon places two battalions on standby as questions swirl over whether the President could invoke the Insurrection Act.

Plus — Trump turns up the heat on Europe, threatening sanctions tied to Greenland. Trish breaks down what this means for markets and global power dynamics.

And finally — in a moment no one saw coming — ABC’s The View suggests the Clintons should testify. When you lose The View… you’ve really lost it.

#goldtosilverratio​ #silverpriceprediction​ #goldpriceanalysis​ #preciousmetals​

The gold-to-silver ratio is sending one of the strongest signals in financial history. After decades of distortion driven by fiat currency, debt expansion, and central bank intervention, the ratio is now threatening a rapid collapse back toward the historic 7-to-1 level. If this move continues, it could trigger a dramatic revaluation of silver and expose the fragility of paper money like never before.

In this in-depth 27-minute analysis, we break down the macroeconomic forces driving precious metals, why silver has been historically undervalued relative to gold, and what a collapsing ratio really means for investors. This is not hype or short-term speculation. This is about sound money, historical precedent, and the inevitable consequences of inflation, negative real interest rates, and unsustainable government debt.

You’ll learn why silver’s breakout potential is far greater than most investors realize, how monetary history is repeating itself, and why ignoring the gold-to-silver ratio could be one of the biggest financial mistakes of this decade. If you care about protecting purchasing power, understanding real money, and positioning ahead of a major market shift, this video is essential viewing.

I truly believe the entire country needs police reform. There are so many police officers who think they are above the law and have ridiculous egos that will get them in trouble

Deputy Detective Tyler Ingram gets stopped by Arkansas State Trooper Rafael Guerra. They both make mistakes, but only one gets arrested and loses his job.

Refinancing a car loan can be challenging, but it is possible. The goal is to move the loan for the 2016 GMC Sierra from the client’s name to the fiancé’s name. Since the fiancé is self-employed, has a low credit score, some verifiable income, and is a veteran, the best approach is to look for lenders who consider more than just credit scores.

Here’s a step-by-step plan and an overview of possible lenders.

How Subprime Lending Operates for the Self-Employed

Obtaining a loan from a traditional bank can be challenging for self-employed individuals. Subprime lenders typically have more flexible rules and are more likely to approve loans based on the borrower’s ability to pay, rather than just their credit score.

Here’s what they will require for income verification:

• Proof of Business Operation: They require at least two years of self-employment, which he has.
• Income Documentation: He should gather 12 to 24 months of bank statements to demonstrate cash flow, along with a profit and loss statement and tax returns (Form 1040, Schedule C) to prove that his contracting business has a steady income.
• Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI): Lenders will check his DTI.
• Steady income from his business and disability benefits should help keep this ratio in a good range, even if he has other debts.

His disability benefits from the U.S. Armed Forces are a plus. With at least one year of steady, verifiable income remaining, lenders will see this as a sign of stability, which will help his application.

Lender Options and Recommended Strategies

Given his 587 credit score, self-employment, and veteran status, the following options are most likely to help him get a refinancing loan for the truck.

Option 1:

• Community-Oriented Credit Unions
• Some credit unions have community-based initiatives that help individuals who struggle to access conventional banks.
• They take a more holistic approach, considering the whole person rather than just a number.
• Alternatives Federal Credit Union: This credit union assists community members in obtaining loans to enhance their financial situation.
• They understand lower credit scores and can help with refinancing.
• They should be the first place you contact.

Option 2:

• Military-Focused Lenders
• As a veteran, he can work with lenders who focus on helping veterans.
• These lenders are typically more flexible and understand the financial challenges associated with military service.
• Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU): NFCU is recognized for its competitive pricing and has a large membership base.
• As a veteran, he is eligible to apply, and NFCU can process his application.
• Since he is on disability, offering him an auto refinance and working with him as a veteran is a suitable approach.
• PenFed Credit Union: PenFed offers large loans and focuses on serving the military community.
• Refinancing with them is a good option to consider.
• USAA: A USAA auto loan could be an option.
• They offer loans for older vehicles (the 2016 Sierra qualifies) and have programs for veterans.
• Contact them to see what terms they might offer, considering his full financial picture.

Option 3:

• Subprime Lenders and Specialized Dealerships.
• These lenders help people with credit challenges.
• They usually focus more on steady income and job stability than on credit scores.
• Auto Credit Express: This service connects individuals with credit issues to lenders and dealerships.
• They offer programs for veterans and work with subprime lenders who understand self-employed income.
• He can apply through them and get connected to a dealership in the Rockford area.
• Rockford Subprime Local Dealerships: Dealerships like Anderson Nissan in Rockford collaborate with subprime lenders and support all customers, regardless of their credit score.
• Their finance team partners with different lenders and may be able to help him get a loan using his income documents.

Why It’s A Good Idea to Have A Co-Signer

Most sources agree that if the borrower can’t get approved, having a co-signer with better credit can help secure a loan. Ideally, the fiancé will qualify on his own, but if not, a client or family member with good credit can co-sign. This can improve approval chances and help get a lower interest rate.

Steps to Take

• Getting Documents: The fiancé should gather these documents as soon as possible:
• Last two years of personal and business tax returns.
• Current year-to-date profit and loss statement for his contracting business.
• Last 12 to 24 months of personal and business bank statements.
• Proof of his award letter on disability benefits or the bank statements that show the deposits.
• His military service proof, DD-214, or other documentation.

Contact these lenders in this order:

• Start with Alternatives Federal Credit Union, as they specialize in helping individuals with low credit scores.
• Next, because he is a veteran, reach out to Navy Federal, PenFed, and USAA.
• If those options don’t work, apply with Auto Credit Express to get matched with a local subprime lender in Rockford.
• Then visit or call the finance department at a local subprime dealership, such as Anderson Nissan, which offers subprime financing.

Expect Higher Rates:

• With 587 a 587 credit score, the interest rate will be higher than for someone with good credit.
• The primary goal is to remove the truck from the client’s name.
• After making on-time payments for 12 to 24 months and improving his credit, he can try to refinance again for better terms.
• It is tough, but there is hope. His self-employment income and veteran benefits are positive factors that subprime lenders will take note of.
• With the right lenders and organized paperwork, he has a good chance of getting a subprime refinance.

The cost to repair rust on a 2000 GMC Sierra 4×4 Extended Cab depends on the severity of the rust, its location, and local labor rates. Replacing rocker panels and cab corners typically costs between $1,500 and $4,000 per side, or between $3,000 and $8,000 for both sides. If the floor or frame also requires work, that can add an additional $2,000 to $5,000. Patching is typically cheaper, ranging from $500 to $1,500 per area, but it may only be a short-term solution if the rust has spread. Cosmetic repairs only fix the surface and do not solve deeper problems. Body shops will inspect the rocker panels, cab corners, floor, and attachment points. If they find hidden rust, the price may increase due to the need for extra cutting and welding. The first quote you receive is often just an estimate, as more rust may be revealed during the repairs. Some shops offer repair kits or covers as cheaper alternatives, but these typically do not last long. If you want to save money, you can ask for rust removal and resealing without repainting.

How to Obtain an Accurate Repair Estimate

• Ask local body shops for written estimates. Request an inspection that does not require them to disassemble anything, and ensure they provide a detailed list of materials, labor hours, and parts they plan to replace. The shop should clearly explain what work they will do, including the condition of the rocker panels, floor, cab corners, and any hidden rust. Getting a detailed estimate helps you avoid surprise charges.
• If possible, ask the shop to show you which areas they will inspect for hidden rust before providing a final estimate. Examining these spots yourself can help you understand the full extent of the repairs required.

Try to obtain three to five quotes from local shops that cover both sides of your truck, including potential worst-case repairs such as floor or inner rocker panel replacement. Compare the prices, the duration of repairs, warranty details, and patching options. Talking to a GM truck expert can help you spot rust problems early and might save you money. Prices will vary depending on your location and the findings of the inspection. If you need help, please let me know your city or area, and I can assist you in coming up with questions for local shops or review your quotes. Many rust repair prices come from shared experiences in auto repair forums and community discussions.

Thank you for raising concerns regarding trust in institutions and accountability. These are important these days in any democracy. However, I must be careful here because you mention certain documents and claims I do not have any information about, and the context is unclear.

Let me search for new data about the topics you are talking about so I can give a more precise answer.

Thank you for the context. I understand you are talking about the more recent accusations made by DNI Tulsi Gabbard about the Russia investigation of 2016. This is a big and controversial issue, so it must be approached cautiously.

Let me offer some ideas, while I will be candid about what some of the challenges here will be:

About the Need For Trust in Institutions

• You are right that trust in institutions is an aspect of democracy.
• The public must have confidence in the intelligence services, policing, and other government agencies’ ability to conduct their operations honestly, lawfully, and politically neutrally.
• Erosion of such confidence, for any reason, whether due to actual wrongdoing or perceived wrongdoing, will have dire consequences for democracy.

On the present:

Gabbard has made public documents that she claims to show how Obama administration officials have really twisted and spun intelligence regarding Russia’s interference in 2016, which she calls a “treasonous conspiracy.” This is a most serious claim!

There is much disagreement about what those documents actually prove.

• Gabbard’s argument is complicated and oversimplifies the entire situation, as the fact-checkers say, which means she mixes up some concepts about Russia’s interference and its election (voter meddling and other election disturbances).
• Analysis from other sources suggests that the basis of her claims is unsubstantiated or misleading.

What is certainly a fact:

• It is established and proven by many investigations, which have even been Republican led: Russia’s interference, which includes hacking and social media manipulation, is a fact from the influence operations that took place during 2016.
• There is no disagreement that Russia interfered. The disagreement is whether the intelligence officials spent time politicizing their assessments or properly characterized the interference.
• Acknowledging Gabbard’s frustration with the lack of political consensus, scholars from various areas should independently examine and investigate documents cross-regionally and politically.
• If political manipulation of intelligence is proven, the argument is strong.
• It substantiates the pestilential trust breach, which is correlated with the public’s interest.
• Thus, there is no need to harbor consequences.
• It is also critical to understand the distinctions between (a) deep, profound, or exaggerated manipulation (fabricating class), (b) accurate but pitched intelligence, and (c) professional and subjectively resolved scrutiny and examination.
• Skepticism should go both ways. Consider whether current officials accurately characterize historical documents or present them distortedly. Obama officials should also be scrutinized.

Assuming someone would be held accountable, would you consider that a just outcome?

I am myself skeptical about accountability in either direction.

Our political system has become so deeply polarized that what looks like a clear wrongdoing to one side is a total partisan witch hunt to the other side. Without bipartisan consensus on the most basic facts, powerful people become untouchables, almost like the system is designed to protect them.

What would help: A nonsensical notion that has become so deeply intertwined with American politics that, in today’s immediate, I am not sure such a thing exists.

How do you assess the absence of sufficient accountability?
