EU inflation is now picking up, they cut the rate and now the opposite is happening. Biden is now cancelling more student loans. The people know the economy is collapsing. Trump and the patriots make a move to shift the currency to Bitcoin and gold. The [DS] is now panicking, they have tried everything and it has failed. There are now [FF] warning and the travel advisory in the middle east has been raised to level 4. Iran is now threatening Israel and Israel said if they attack they would start WWIII. Trump has been planning on peace. Most likely he has all the pieces in place. We are in the final countdown.
Economy
BREAKING: Euro Zone inflation rises to 2.6%, above expectations of 2.5%.
Core inflation in Europe hit 2.9%, above expectations of 2.8%.
A student loan forgiveness update will be rolled out in the next week by the Biden administration, coming less than 100 days before the presidential election.
Emails will be sent to millions notifying them they could qualify for debt relief under the enhanced program, along with an opportunity to opt out if they want.
An Education Department announcement made clear what is on offer, with U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona declaring:
Starting tomorrow, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) will begin emailing all borrowers with at least one outstanding federally held student loan to provide updates on potential student debt relief.
Kamala Harris’s attempts to sell Americans on the idea that the U.S. economy is doing well may have become a bit harder.
U.S. businesses added a mere 122,000 jobs in July, according to payroll giant ADP, signaling a cooling labor market and fewer hires. This modest increase is the smallest in six months and falls short of the 150,000 jobs predicted by economists.
While Harris has recently said manufacturing in the U.S. is booming, the ADP report tells a different story. Manufacturing jobs fell in July, ADP said.
Construction added 39,000 and trade, transportation, and utilities added 61,000, leading the gaining sectors. Leisure and hospitality, a major source of job growth last year, added a modest 24,000. Health and education added 22,000.
Professional and business services employment declined by 47,000, a possible signal of a souring economy. Information technology shed 18,000, which is a lot of job losses for a smaller segment of the economy.
The slowing job market has also taken a toll on wage growth. The year-over-year pay increase for workers who stayed in the same job dipped to a three-year low of 4.8 percent in July.
“With wage growth slowing down, the labor market is aligning with the Federal Reserve’s efforts to curb inflation,” said ADP’s chief economist, Nela Richardson. “If inflation goes back up, it won’t be because of labor.”

Seventy percent of adults say the economy under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris is getting worse, according to polling from Gallup.
At the beginning of 2024, in February, only 61 percent said the economy was getting worse, while 32 percent said the economy was getting better. Since then, those numbers have all slid in the wrong direction.
The digital euro will be one of the most private forms of electronic payment, according do a data protection official from the European Union.
On Oct. 2, 2020, the European Central Bank (ECB) released a report laying the groundwork for its central bank digital currency (CBDC), the digital euro.
The digital euro has been in its investigation phase since October 2021, during which ECB officials and bankers hypothesized about its possible design and purpose.
As of November 2023, the digital euro has entered the preparation phase, with possible legislative adoption expected by the last financial quarter of 2024.

NEW: 🇸🇻 "El Salvador proposes using cryptocurrency in trade operations with Russia", Izvestia reports. 🇷🇺 pic.twitter.com/dYLJeTlnrp
The plan proposes establishing a “Bitcoin Purchase Program” of up to 200,000 BTC a year over a five-year period.
U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis’s plan for a new Strategic Bitcoin Reserve would finance purchases of the cryptocurrency partly by revaluing gold certificates held by the Federal Reserve System, according to a draft of the legislation obtained by CoinDesk.
According to the draft bill, under the working short title of “Bitcoin Act of 2024,” the Treasury secretary would “establish a decentralized network of secure Bitcoin storage facilities distributed across the U.S.,” selecting the locations for the vaults “based on a comprehensive risk assessment, prioritizing geographic diversity, security and accessibility.”
The Treasury secretary would establish a “Bitcoin Purchase Program” of up to 200,000 BTC a year over a five-year period, for a total of 1 million, according to the draft. The bitcoin would be held for at least 20 years and could only be disposed of for the purpose of paying off federal debt. After that, no more than 10% of the assets could be sold during any two-year period.
The bitcoin purchases would be financed through a few methods, describe in the draft bill as “offsetting the cost of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.”
The plan calls for the setting aside of $6 billion from any net earnings remitted by Federal Reserve to the Treasury from fiscal years 2025 through 2029, and it would reduce the discretionary surplus funds of Federal Reserve banks to $2.4 billion from $6.825 billion, the level that’s currently stipulated in the Federal Reserve Act.
Revaluing the Fed’s gold
There’s also the revaluation of Federal Reserve banks’ gold certificates to reflect their fair market value.
Under the plan, within six months of enactment of the legislation, Federal Reserve banks would tender all of their oustanding gold certificates to the Treasury secretary. Within 90 days after that, the Treasury secretary would issue “new gold certificates to the Federal Reserve banks that reflect the fair market value price of the gold.”
The Federal Reserve banks would then “remit the difference in cash value between the old and new certificates” to the Treasury secretary.
Hunter Biden’s legal team “invented” reasons why special counsel David Weiss’ appointment to the case was allegedly illegal, prosecutors argued in a new filing, as they asked a judge to uphold the first son’s tax evasion case.
The latest bid by President Biden’s son to toss the felony charges against him is his “fourth attempt at halting the prosecution of this case based on invented deficiencies in the appointment and funding of Special Counsel Weiss,” Weiss’ office argued in a Monday filing in California federal court.
Earlier this month, Hunter’s legal team tried yet again to get the case accusing him of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes to the IRS dismissed — calling Weiss’ appointment and the funding to prosecute the Biden scion unconstitutional.
“However, changing one word does not resolve the issues, as these statements continue to be misleading by suggesting that United States Attorney Weiss failed to take action against the defendant until after he became special counsel,” the filing claims. “That is patently incorrect.” In fact, Weiss first brought charges against Hunter, 54, when he was the Delaware US attorney in a case that the first son had planned to plead guilty to — until the prosecution agreement notoriously blew up in court.

Warfare is unfair.
We are entering a new phase globally and the stakes were just raised…
another ten notches. Retaliation is never equal in warfare. Conventional is unconventional yet the thinking in this administration is anything but. Americans need to prepare for entering even more dangerous uncharted waters. I’m sorry, but things are not normal (as much as I pray they were), this administration has allowed the creation of a completely chaotic global environment. Don’t be distracted by the BS being spewed by corporate media. Dig, research, understand, sense your environment. My message to our military rank and file is thank you for you service, thank your families and may God bless and protect all of you.
The strike by Israel came less than after the Jewish State took out the military commander of Hezbollah in Lebanon. This was in retaliation for Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists slaughtering 12 innocent children after one of their rockets hit a soccer field on Saturday.

Q
Of all the attacks Kamala Harris’s team could have launched against Donald Trump’s VP pick, J.D. Vance, calling him “weird,” was probably the worst choice. If Vance has a quirk, it’s his millennial bluntness, but anyone who has any experience hanging out with millennials — particularly millennials on the right — it’s a pretty common trait that I would argue is a necessary counter to the multi-generational penchant for political correctness on the left.

It is truly disturbing to watch an attorney general lie like this.
SCOTUS in Nixon did not address the legality of an independent counsel. The Independent Counsel Act expired in 1999 replaced by an internal DOJ regulation never approved by Congress.
he named were all approved by the Senate at one point (most as US attorneys, Mueller as FBI director) And no, not “every court” has said special counsel office is lawful. DC appellate court upheld Mueller appointment (of course) but it has never been challenged outside of DC.
Cannon concluded the appointment of Smith was unconstitutional because it violated the Appointments Clause without a presidential nomination and Senate approval.
She also determined the 4 random statutes Garland cited in his appointment order did not apply. Smith acts as a rogue official in two jurisdictions (FLA and DC) without any statutory authority and access to unlimited funds also not approved by Congress. I doubt Garland read Cannon’s 93-page order and I guarantee Fusion Ken didn’t read it either.
🚨BREAKING: Gab founder @basedtorba just released an FBI Emergency Disclosure Request (EDR) that names Thomas Matthew Crooks's Biden-supporting social media account after FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate falsely testified under oath to Congress.
Crooks supported Biden, lockdowns, and Biden’s border policies. FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate just told Congress that “an account believed to be associated with the shooter” had posted 700 comments in 2019 and 2020 with “anti-Semitic and anti-immigration” views.
“While the investigative team is still working to verify this account to determine if it did, in fact, belong to the shooter, we believe it important to share and note it today, particularly given the general absence of other information to date from social media that reflect on the shooter’s potential motive and mindset.”
However, the FBI’s request to Gab specifically identified Thomas Matthew Crooks’s account as “epicMicrowave,” which had posted comments completely opposite to what the FBI just told Congress.
Moreover, Crooks donated $15 to a progressive PAC on January 20, 2021, and posted comments supporting Joe Biden’s border policies on Gab just weeks later, in early February 2021. Why is the FBI Deputy Director lying under oath about Thomas Matthew Crooks’ views to Congress and the American people?
Crooks for sure interacted with people before the attempted assassination. Question is who?

A counter sniper sent an email Monday night to the entire Uniformed Division (not agents) saying he will not stop speaking out until high-level supervisors are either fired or removed from their current positions.
The counter sniper said the agency “SHOULD expect another assassination attempt” before November and complained that he is no longer proud to be a USSS counter sniper after leadership failed to protect President Trump on July 13.
“This agency NEEDS to change,” the sniper wrote in the email obtained by RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree. “If not now, WHEN? “The NEXT assassination in 30 days?”

FYI, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. worked for:
1. Obama White House
2. Senate Judiciary Chairman Pat Leahy (D-VT)
Don't let him pretend he is a career, non-partisan law-enforcement official.
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe worked closely with disgraced former director Kim Cheatle, not only during Trump’s July 13 rally but also on January 6.
Both Rowe and Cheatle had specific oversight roles for Trump’s protective detail on Jan 6—Rowe as the Deputy…
Both Rowe and Cheatle had specific oversight roles for Trump’s protective detail on Jan 6—Rowe as the Deputy Assistant Director over Trump’s detail, and Cheatle as the direct supervisor over the lead agent, Robert Engel. This is according to the transcript of former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s interview with the January 6 committee. Additionally, Rowe sought information about the Proud Boys prior to Jan 6.
It was revealed during Ornato’s interview that Rowe had sent an email to Robert Engel on December 12, 2020, questioning why the Secret Service hadn’t been alerted about the Proud Boys leader’s participation in a White House tour. Then there was the Jan 6 security lapse where USSS allowed then Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to come dangerously close to a so-called pipe bomb at the DNC.
The USSS Office of Protective Operations—led by both Cheatle and Rowe at the time, with Cheatle as Assistant Director and Rowe as Deputy Assistant Director—was responsible for overseeing these protective operations. And with USSS text communications from Jan 5-6 conveniently deleted, we have yet to receive any explanation from Rowe, Cheatle, or any other law enforcement official involved in protective operations for Harris that day. Instead, while Kim Cheatle was listed among the USSS personnel whose phones were subpoenaed for the deleted text messages, it was Ronald Rowe who authored the coverup letter responding to the subpoena, stating that the messages had been erased “as part of a device-replacement program.”
Now, with DHS not only stonewalling about the events of July 13 but also withholding Jan 6 committee interview transcripts of “ten current and former employees” of the USSS involved in Jan 6 operations—including both Kim Cheatle and Robert Engel—we are expected to rely on Rowe (essentially Cheatle 2.0) for “transparency” to uncover what happened on July 13.
The Secret Service rejected FOIA requests for records related to the attempted assassination against President Trump.
Would-be assassin Thomas Crooks, 20, managed to evade state, local and federal law enforcement officers, climb on a roof and take 8 shots at President Trump during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally on July 13.
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch filed three FOIA requests seeking records related to the assassination attempt and the agency refused to produce and documents.
Judicial Watch said it is preparing for litigation.

The nonprofit blood donation center that serves much of the southeast said it fell victim to a cyber attack, leaving hundreds of hospitals potentially facing shortages.
The ransomware attack hit OneBlood’s software system, forcing it to use “manual processes and procedures to remain operational,” the company said in a statement. Those procedures take longer so the amount of blood and blood products available could fall.
Microsoft now admits that its services were taken out by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack which was ‘amplified’ by an error in the company’s cyber defences.
Experts say the true culprits may never be identified but that they were likely encouraged to strike by Microsoft’s recent service troubles.
In the 2020 Presidential Election, several states took an excessive amount of time to process and tabulate mail-in ballots after universal and/or no-excuse mail-in balloting was permitted in most states due to COVID fears. According to an article by the Washington Post, 27 states allowed early processing of mail-in ballots in 2020. That number has since ballooned to 43 states in total.
An ABC News article from October 2020 described the processing of mail-in ballots in Arizona, a key swing state in both 2020 and this year in 2024:
Since the 2020 Covid election, the USPS has effectively become the largest “precinct” in our elections with little citizen observation. But recent incidents, reports from the USPS Office of the Inspector General, and independent investigations have revealed that the USPS may not be prepared to handle the volume of vote-by-mail ballots this November.
As recently reported in The Federalist, the USPS Election Mail system apparently created a major problem in the June primary election in Utah. According to local election officials, hundreds of ballots that were purportedly mailed before the vote-by-mail cut-off were not processed by USPS in time to meet the “postmark” deadline, making those ballots ineligible to be counted in the election.
