The t***h is many have no idea what they are protesting. They want to be seen as part of the current popular issue. Others are, literally, paid to be there. And, as you say, the rest are moronic and imbeciles.

Your judgement, on who and how they would behave, if he were assassinated, is absolutely correct!

You know how we often joke about our guns being lazy, setting around doing nothing? Maybe the answer is to hide an unloaded gun in a school for five days. You then take the gun out, tell the principal it has been there five days and done absolutely nothing.

Amen to this idea!

Just once, I want the prompt for username and password to say,

“Close enough.”

Iranian University Offers U.S. College Student Protesters Scholarships

The world is watching as useful i***ts for Hamas demonstrate on American college campuses.

Our enemies are loving it. The demonstrators are chanting "Death to Israel" and "Death to America" on U.S. soil. Ignorant young people are declaring themselves as Hamas, the internationally recognized terror group, a proxy of Iran.

Shiraz University in Iran offers scholarships to American students who have been expelled.

None will take the university up on its offer, of course. The protesters in America are brainwashed college students who have been indoctrinated by far-left professors. The professors are joining in with the students on many campuses. Outside professional agitators are infiltrating the protests.

This is a well-financed effort that is funded by dark money groups, people of the far left who support the destruction of America as we know it. It is spreading around the country, not fading away. One protest ends and another pops up on a different campus.

Shiraz University is happy to welcome American professors, too.

Mohammad Moazzeni, head of Shiraz University in the southern region of Fars, extended his proposal to those protesting Israel's actions in its war against Hamas, following clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement across America.

He said: "Students and even professors who have been expelled or threatened with expulsion can continue their studies at Shiraz University and I think that other universities in Shiraz as well as Fars Province are also prepared [to provide the conditions]," he said, according to Irainian state-owned outlet Press TV.

While American students cosplay terrorists, the rest of the world waits and watches. Does the president, the leader of the free world, have anything to say on the topic? Is Biden secretly hoping that Israel loses its war against Hamas so Muslim Arab Americans in Dearborn, Michigan will v**e for his re-e******n in November?

I'm old enough to remember when silence meant complicity.

What the useful i***ts on college campuses don't understand is that they would be targeted for death under the Iranian regime. Student uprisings are not allowed. The "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement began in September 2022, after the death of a 22-year-old college student, Mahsa Amini. She was arrested and beaten by the morality police for improperly wearing her hijab in public. She later died in jail from her injuries.

Seeing signs at American protests that read "Q***rs for Palestine" makes me cringe. Gay Iranians are thrown off buildings.

There is no such thing as free speech in Iran. There is no personal freedom at all. It is worse for women and girls. College protesters who align themselves with Hamas are aligning themselves with Iran.

accused Western police of "autocratic methods" and said they had demonstrated "a lot of violence in order to contain this raging movement and have even threatened to expel the students from universities and hinder their employment in the future," Press TV reported.

The agency added that Moazzeni was "announcing Shiraz University's decision to offer scholarships to students expelled from European and American universities."

Shiraz University, which Newsweek has contacted for further comment, was formerly known as Pahlavi University. Established in 1946, it is one of the Islamic republic's most prestigious universities and is listed among its top three research-oriented schools.

Please accept these scholarships and learn lessons that may not be what you anticipated. Even better, at long last, the FBI will take notice of you. You can then join the terror watch list.

Both!

Governments Could Stop Inflating If They Wanted. But They Won’t.
By: Daniel Lacalle

Price inflation is no coincidence. It is a policy. Governments, along with their so-called experts, attempt to persuade you that price inflation stems from anything other than the consistent, albeit slower, rise in aggregate prices year after year. Issuing more currency than the private sector demands, thus eroding its purchasing power and creating a constant annual t***sfer of wealth from real wages and deposit savings to the government.

Oil prices are not a cause of inflation but a consequence. Prices increase as more units of the currency used to denominate the commodity shift to relatively scarce assets. Therefore, oil prices do not cause inflation; they are one of the signals of currency debasement. Furthermore, if oil prices caused inflation, we would go from inflation to deflation quickly, not from elevated inflation to slower price increases.

The same goes for all the causes that governments and their agents try to use as an excuse for rising prices. Most are just manifestations, not causes of inflation. Even if the global economy were dominated by three evil and stupid oligopolistic businesses, they would not be able to increase aggregate prices and maintain an annual increase if the quantity of currency in the system were to remain equal. Why? Two things would happen. First, those three monopolistic evil corporations would see their working capital soar because citizens would not have enough units of currency to pay for all they produce. Two, the rest of the prices would decline as there would be a significantly lower number of units of currency to purchase other goods and services.

Even a group of quasi-monopolistic corporations cannot make all prices rise in unison and consolidate the annual level, only to continue rising. However, the monopolistic issuer of the currency, the government, can make all prices rise while at the same time diminishing the purchasing power of the units of state debt that they issue.

It is surprising to see how some so-called experts say that a few large corporations make all prices rise but deny that the state that monopolizes the creation of money is the cause of price inflation.

Governments are at the root of rising prices. While banks can generate money—credit—through lending, they rely on projects and investments to support these loans. Banks cannot create money to bail themselves out. No financial entity would go bankrupt then. In fact, banks’ largest asset imbalance comes from lending at rates below the cost of risk and having government loans and bonds as “no-risk” investments, two things that are imposed by regulation, law, and central bank planning. Meanwhile, the state does issue more currency to disguise its fiscal imbalances and bail itself out, using regulation, legislation, and coercion to impose the use of its own form of money.

Monopolies cannot simply drive up prices unless they are able to force consumers to use their products without any decline in demand. We also must understand that destructive and inefficient monopolies can only exist if the state imposes them. In any other situation, those monopolies disappear due to competition, technology, and cheaper imports from other nations. So, which is the only monopoly that can force consumers to use their product regardless of the real demand for it? Government fiat money.

The government is the largest economic agent and therefore the most important driver of aggregate demand, as well as the issuer of currency. The government can end today’s high price-inflation rates any time by eliminating the unnecessary spending that causes the deficit, which is the same as money printing. Taxing the private sector to cut price inflation is like starving the children to make the fat parent lose weight.

If Senator Warren and President Biden were right and corporations were to blame for rising inflation, competition, cheaper imports, and a decline in demand, they would have taken care of their unjustified prices. Only the government can cause and perpetuate inflation, using the central bank as its financial arm and regulation as the imposition of the state’s IOU (currency) as the “lowest-risk asset” in banks’ assets. The government creates the currency and imposes it, and when its purchasing power declines, it blames the economic agents that are forced to use its form of money.

MMT defenders and neo-Keynesians say that the government can issue all the currency that they need and that their limit is not fiscal (deficit and debt) but price inflation. It makes no sense because price inflation is the manifestation of an unsustainable fiscal problem, reflected in the vanishing confidence in the currency issuer. It is, literally, like a giant corporation issuing debt endlessly and thinking nothing matters. It is a subterfuge to implement the constant increase in size of government in the economy, knowing that once it controls a large part, it is virtually impossible to stop the state.

Stephanie Kelton and others say the government should spend all it wants and, if price inflation rises, tax the excessive money away. This is funny. So, the government increases size on the way in, spending and diluting the purchasing power of the private sector’s earnings and savings, and then taxes the private sector, thus increasing the size of government on the way out. Furthermore, there is no government that would recognize that price inflation comes from spending too much, so the destruction of the private sector continues and the diminishing confidence in the currency extends, as history has proven numerous times.

Governments cannot tax away the price inflation they have created by bloating spending. They can only weaken the private productive sector further and worsen the economic situation and the price inflation outlook.

There is no such thing as perennial monetary sovereignty. Like any form of debt, currency demand disappears with the government’s solvency and the economic weakness of the private sector consumed by taxes. Once the government destroys confidence in the currency as a reserve of value, the private sector will find some other way to make t***sactions outside of the imposition of a state-issued currency.

When governments present themselves as the solution to price inflation with large spending programs and subsidies, they are only printing more money, like putting out a fire with gasoline.

Biden says the government has a plan to cut price inflation, but all they have done is perpetuate it, making citizens poorer and the productive sector weaker.

If Biden wants to cut price inflation, all he must do is eliminate the deficit by cutting expenditures. The reason why governments should never oversee monetary policy and be allowed to monetize all deficits is because no administration will cut its size to defend citizens’ wages because nationalization by monetary inflation and taxes is the goal of interventionism: to create a dependent and hostage economy.

The reason the battle f**g has been considered the Confederate F**g is due to Virginia Confederate soldiers carrying it as opposed to the designated Confederate f**g.

If one considers 2005 till 2024 decades…

The current residents replaced Jewish residents in 2005 and elected Hamas in 2007.
