I hope the people of Argentina understand how good a job he is doing, and will support his work during the upcoming Midterms, so we can continue to help him achieve Argentina’s incredible potential. “Javier Milei has my Complete and Total Endorsement — He will not let you down. MAKE ARGENTINA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said at the White House on Tuesday he would endorse Milei for reelection and previously had already indicated during the U.N. General Assembly in September he was endorsing Milei, when he handed the Argentine leader a print-out of a Truth Social post with his endorsement. Trump threatened to pull assistance for Argentina — led by a political kindred spirit whose philosophy aligns with that of the Republican administration — if the nation’s internal politics don’t go the U.S.’ way in its upcoming elections. The comments came during a meeting with Milei, whose country is set to hold midterm elections for its legislative body later this month. Source: newsmax.com Trump offers Argentina a bailout.

Guess when they were considered one of the wealthiest countries and the significance of what happened in America that year? “By 1913, Argentina was among the world’s wealthiest nations per capita, with its income comparable to that of Western Europe and even surpassing countries like France, Germany, and Italy. In the early 20th century, Argentina’s per capita GDP was nearly equal to that of the United States, and it ranked among the top ten wealthiest nations globally.” 1913? What happened in America that changed everything in 1913? Now are you catching the SIGNAL? Trump is helping countries with enormous natural wealth, to escape from Rothschilds central bank control. The cabal couldn’t allow a South American country to be more wealthy than Europe. They corrupted their governments and stole their wealth. They are evil leeches, who steal wealth around the world and purposely create poverty to make the population easy to control. Trump is lifting Argentina out of the chains of cabal control. But there is something much bigger happening. Have you ever heard the term “regional responsibility?” Step back and look at things from the 40,000 ft view. Which wealthy and powerful country should step up and help the countries in the Americas? If they prosper, we prosper. If Argentina’s economy grows and they become one of the wealthiest countries in the world again; Won’t the United States benefit from trading with Argentina? Trump is making another “deal.” He’s betting on Argentina to succeed, now that their shackles are being removed. And if Argentina succeeds, so do the American people. I think people are really underestimating how much world trade is going to EXPAND when everything is decentralized. We need to think much bigger!! Translation: the Fed’s quietly admitting the system’s running low on cash again. They’ll call it “preserving liquidity,” but it’s really a soft pivot, QE in disguise. When Powell starts worrying about “funding markets,” it means something’s already cracking under the surface. — NOBLE (@iamnoblefx) October 15, 2025   when the Federal Reserve shrinks its balance sheet through quantitative tightening (QT)—by not reinvesting proceeds from maturing bonds or actively selling them—this typically raises long-term interest rates. Here’s why: QT increases the supply of bonds in the market (as the Fed steps back as a buyer), which pushes bond prices down and yields (interest rates) up, particularly for longer-term securities like 10-year Treasuries. This is the reverse of quantitative easing (QE), where the Fed’s bond purchases drove down long-term yields.  During the current QT phase (ongoing since 2022), the Fed’s reduced holdings of longer-term debt have contributed to higher long-term rates than would have occurred otherwise. For instance, as of October 2025, the Fed is nearing the end of this program, with Chair Jerome Powell indicating it could wrap up soon, partly to avoid excessive pressure on rates and liquidity. However, the tightening has already had a contractionary effect by elevating rates to cool the economy.  not purchasing bonds during QT tightens financial conditions, making long-term borrowing more expensive for mortgages, corporate debt, and investments.  : Directly lower the federal funds rate (currently at 4.75–5.00% after a 0.25% cut in September 2025), which quickly reduces short-term borrowing costs (e.g., credit cards, variable-rate loans). This stimulates immediate economic activity but has a more limited, indirect impact on long-term rates, which are driven by market expectations for inflation, growth, and fiscal policy. QT: By not reinvesting maturing bonds (currently capped at $25 billion/month for Treasuries and $35 billion for MBS), QT increases bond supply in the market, pushing down prices and raising long-term yields (e.g., 10-year Treasury). This cools housing, corporate investment, and other long-duration financing without directly affecting short-term rates. Economic Impacts of Continued QT with Steady Short-Term RatesIf the Federal Reserve continues quantitative tightening (QT)—shrinking its balance sheet by not reinvesting maturing bonds—while holding short-term interest rates steady (e.g., no cuts to the federal funds rate, currently at 4.75–5.00% as of October 2025), this would represent a net tightening of monetary policy. Unlike the current mix of tapering QT alongside expected rate cuts, this scenario would drain liquidity more aggressively without offsetting stimulus, leading to tighter financial conditions overall. Based on historical precedents like the 2017–2019 QT episode and economic analyses, the effects would likely slow growth, raise recession risks, and curb inflation, but with potential for market disruptions.

When safe havens are rallying with risky assets it tells you one thing: confidence in fiat currencies is eroding. And, while deficit spending and rate cuts into stagflation are major drivers of this sentiment shift, we believe there is more to it. The market is pricing in record levels of AI CapEx and what will inevitably become an AI “war” between the US and China. The US will print more money and drive deficits higher with the sole purpose of “winning” the AI Revolution. Gold and silver aren’t just becoming more valuable; Confidence in fiat currencies is collapsing.  If the Federal Reserve continues quantitative tightening (QT)—shrinking its balance sheet without reinvesting maturing bonds—while holding short-term interest rates steady (no cuts to the federal funds rate, currently at 4.75–5.00% as of October 2025), this would create a net tightening environment that’s generally bearish for gold prices. The combination amplifies liquidity reduction and elevates real yields, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold and strengthening the U.S. dollar, which makes gold more expensive for international buyers. While gold has surged to over $4,200/oz in 2025 amid cut expectations, a “no-cut” scenario could trigger a pullback of 5–15%, potentially testing $3,500–$3,800 support levels. When the Federal Reserve combines quantitative tightening (QT)—shrinking its balance sheet by not reinvesting maturing bonds—with interest rate cuts, the net effect on gold prices is typically positive, as the easing from rate cuts outweighs QT’s tightening pressures, especially as QT tapers or ends. This dynamic reduces the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, weakens the U.S. dollar (making gold cheaper for foreign buyers), and boosts safe-haven demand amid lower real interest rates and potential inflation risks. In 2025, this policy mix has propelled gold to record highs, with spot prices surpassing $4,200 per ounce as of mid-October. Political/Rights      This was a racist verdict by a racist judge.

If X pulls from IP data to suggest or auto-set the country, connecting to a US-based VPN could make the profile show “United States” instead of the user’s actual location. Guides for other X features (like age verification) often recommend matching your account’s country setting to the VPN server’s location for consistency.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco said the cuts appeared to be politically motivated and were being carried out without much thought. “It’s very much ready, fire, aim on most of these programs, and it has a human cost,” she said. “It’s a human cost that cannot be tolerated.” She granted a temporary restraining order blocking the job cuts, saying she believed the evidence would ultimately show the cuts were illegal and in excess of authority. Trump will appeal very quickly and he will continue to fire people 13,000 air traffic controllers are working without pay.

It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement as we see all around the country, the Democrats and everyone in that party screaming, assaulting ICE officers. They did it right here in the Capitol last night.” “They’ve been [playing games] every day now and it shows their desperation. It also shows a very strong contrast between the party that is working for the people and trying to keep the government open – and do the right thing – and the party that is engaging in all this nonsense.”   Democrats only want legislatures to redraw maps in states where they have overwhelming majorities in those chambers.
