Trump’s “50-year mortgage at 2%” sounds like a gift to regular people.
It’s not.
It’s a trillion-dollar bailout for Wall Street dressed up as a tax cut.
Banks and hedge funds are drowning from the millions of old mortgages bought when the rates were 2-3%.
Now rates are 6-7%, so those old loans are worth only at like 50-60 cents on the dollar.
They’re sitting on $1-2 trillion in losses that would wipe out bonuses and maybe even some banks.
Trump’s plan is a magic eraser for those losses.
Every homeowner refinanced into a 50-year loan at 2% suddenly means those trash loans become gold again.
BlackRock, PIMCO, and the big banks instantly make hundreds of billions with zero work.
You pay interest for 50 years (your kids will still be paying when they’re grandparents).
2% sounds low, but factor in inflation and it’s actually negative real rate, so you lose purchasing power every year.
You can never move or change jobs easily because breaking a 50-year loan costs a fortune.
Your house doesn’t get cheaper.
Prices stay sky-high because banks can now lend huge amounts again (50 years = bigger loans). First-time buyers still get crushed.
Blackrock & wall street will undergo bailout paid by main st.
Mortgage companies will collect 50 years of servicing fees. Trump looks like a hero while delivering the biggest wealth transfer from regular Americans to billionaires in history.
Revolutions are funny things. They start out almost imperceptible. The final straw itself may be as inconsequential as a single voice in the crowd whose words unleash a tidal wave that sweeps aside the seemingly intractable old order forever.
Even as the cracks in the Eastern Bloc began to materialize in 1989, starting in June in Hungary, Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu’s Romania seemed impervious to the winds of change. They maintained a cult-like grip on power aided by the notorious and ubiquitous Securitate, the secret police.
On 21 December 1989 Ceausescu decided that the best way to quell a bubbling cauldron of unrest in Transylvania over the past several weeks was to appear, himself, with his wife Elena, above Bucharest’s Palace Square. Workers were bussed in and given red banners to wave in support of the regime. It was to be a show of force that would solidify the existing order.
After all, no one would dare challenge Ceausescu to his face.
As he confidently approached the microphone from the balcony and began mechanically repeating the tired old slogans of communism, suddenly a voice broke through with a high pitched scream, followed by an increasing din. The discordant sounds of protest rendered Ceausescu speechless and confused.
That second, when the false edifice of his rule was punctured and the impossibility of his position exposed, communist rule died in Romania.
Something like America’s ‘Ceausescu Moment’ is definitely happening.
I am not so sure the query pictured above is that ‘moment’. But at some point recently, the tide has turned, deeply and cannot be called back.
Many of us have been hoping to live during this moment, some of us for many decades.
Many smaller tides have contributed to this momentous tide — the collapse of the climate hoax, the covid hoax, the vax hoax, the woke hoax, the MAGA failure to avoid entanglement in the Gaza slaughter and more.
The mind-control machine has broken.
Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes are the immediate manifestation of the broken machine.
But many tens of millions stand with them and behind them. The lies cannot continue and many of us know this.
Time will tell how matters develop from here.
The people and their voices are always the bottom line, which even the ruling elite cannot ignore. ABN

A computer program that compared the bomb suspect’s gait to that of Shauni Kerkhoff produced a 94% match.
Aforensic analysis of a female former U.S. Capitol Police officer’s gait is a 94%-98% match to the unique stride of the long-sought Jan. 6 pipe-bomb suspect, according to a Blaze News investigation confirmed by several intelligence sources.
A source close to a congressional investigation of Jan. 6 additionally told Blaze News evidence has emerged recently that pointed toward law enforcement possibly being involved in the planting of the pipe bombs.
A software algorithm that analyzes walking parameters including flexion (knee bend), hip extension, speed, step length, cadence, and variance rated Shauni Rae Kerkhoff, 31, of Alexandria, Va., as a 94% match to the bomb suspect shown on video from Jan. 5, 2021. The veteran analyst who ran the analysis for Blaze News said that based on visual observations the program can struggle with, he personally pegged the match at closer to 98%.

The possible solution to the pipe-bomb mystery could have far-reaching reverberations.
Several officials familiar with the government’s investigative efforts said a new work is urgently needed to determine whether there were co-conspirators who aided and abetted the crimes, and to learn if federal agencies or employees knew who was involved in the bomb hoax and participated in a nearly five-year cover-up.
The FBI has faced questions over its failure to make meaningful investigative progress despite offering a $490,000 reward with the ATF, along with a $10,000 reward from the Metropolitan Police Department. Former FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed the bureau conducted an exhaustive investigation.
We are under sanctions, financial sanctions of European Union because we don’t let the illegal migrations to come to Hungary and to the European Union as well.
So we have to pay, just to inform you, we have to pay every day one million euro as a punishment to the Brazilian budget, because we stopped the migrants. This is the absurd world we are living now in Europe.
The German Federal Audit Office (Bundesrechnungshof) has dismantled the government’s hydrogen strategy. Neither on the supply side nor on the demand side do the results even remotely align with the ambitious political targets. Germany faces yet another subsidy ruin.
Berlin is in a state of hangover. The ongoing economic crisis is mercilessly exposing the delusions of the so-called green transformation. After the collapse of battery production – think of subsidy ruins like Northvolt – the retreat of industry from “green steel,” and the failure of the energy transition under the weight of wind and solar, which have become bottomless subsidy pits, the next major project is now under heavy attack: the hydrogen strategy.
Audit Office Steps Out of the Shadows
In a recent report, the Federal Audit Office examined the German hydrogen economy – political art at its finest. Since 2020, the sector has been flooded with subsidies. For 2024 and 2025 alone, more than €7 billion in funding has been allocated. Plenty of lubricant for an engine that has been sputtering from day one and still refuses to start.
Private investors, enticed by guarantees and state-backed prices, add more than €3 billion annually. And what’s the result after five years of constant funding? Devastating. Current production of green hydrogen stands at a mere 0.16 gigawatts. Another 0.2 gigawatts are under construction.
In other words: a market that practically doesn’t exist is already consuming around €8 billion every year—public and private – like a black hole.
I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster!
The commissioning of the first supercarrier into service in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy has for the first time in over 80 years provided a service outside the U.S. Navy with a peer level carrier capability, with the warship being a close competitor to the latest generation of American carriers the Gerald Ford class ships.
A comparison of the capabilities of the Fujian, and the sole American next generation supercarrier in service the USS Gerald Ford, provides valuable insight into the current standing of the Chinese carrier program.
The clearest difference between the two ships is that the Gerald Ford is approximately 17.5 percent larger, displacing 100,000 tons compared to the Fujian’s 85,000 tons, and having four catapult launch systems for aircraft where the Fujian has three, which allows the American ship to generation sorties approximately 33 percent faster.

A second clear difference is the ships’ propulsion systems, with the Gerald Ford using twin A1B nuclear reactors that generate electricity through steam-driven turbines, where the Fujian uses the world’s first Medium-Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) integrated power system ever integrated onto an aircraft carrier, which provides revolutionary improvements to efficiency.
The use of nuclear propulsion systems provides the Gerald Ford with a significantly greater endurance, and is expected to allow it to sustain its maximum speeds for significantly longer. Nuclear propulsion nevertheless imposes very significant additional costs and maintenance requirements, and extends the servicing time for the ships considerably, meaning the Fujian is not only significantly less costly to produce and to operate, but will also likely be able to spend a much greater portion of its time in service at sea.
The Fujian’s choice of power system appears well suited to the ship’s primary role of safeguarding Chinese interests in East Asia, where the Gerald Ford was designed to project power across the globe.
What’s the backstory to the stories of angels and devils in Lithuanian tales, and how influential were pagan roots in forming their image? In conversation – Lithuanian Literature and Folklore Institute doctoral researcher Solveiga Šlapikienė.
Angels and devils are often seen as beings of opposite natures – symbols of good and evil, a classic binary opposition, even antonyms. Yet alongside their stark contrasts, there are also unexpected parallels, especially in their shared origins. How does Lithuanian folklore explain the creation of angels and devils?
The most common and well-known explanation for how angels came into being involves striking or rubbing stones together – sparks flying from flint and steel could also give rise to angels. In fact, both angels and devils are said to have originated this way. That’s an important detail.
So there are no etiological legends that explain only the creation of angels? Angels and devils always seem to appear together.
Almost always. If angels are mentioned on their own, it’s only in very brief or fragmentary tales, with just a few lines saying that angels were created in such a way – and that’s all. But in any more developed narrative, angels and devils appear side by side.
It’s worth noting that two main categories describe how angels were created. The first says that God created angels together with Lucifer, his opponent, his adversary.
The angels created by Lucifer, or by Liucius as he is sometimes called, were the same in kind as those made by God. But Lucifer, acting as a trickster, tried to imitate God’s creative acts – and failed. His attempts produced distorted, imperfect beings, darkened and flawed copies of divine creations.

Another version says that God created all the angels at once, but over time, some rebelled and were cast out. Do many Lithuanian folk tales deal with the human choice between good and evil?
Very many. Across the body of folklore about angels, only a small portion shows angels existing purely in the heavenly realm, without any contact with humans. Most of what we have speaks of guardian angels – those who accompany a person from birth to death.
And, of course, devils often appear alongside them: like a dark angel perched on one shoulder, always nearby, watching and following the person throughout their life.
One of the most popular motifs is that both angel and devil keep a record of human deeds – the angel writes down the good, the devil the bad. When death comes, each brings their book to the bedside, and the balance between good and evil determines where the soul will go: to heaven or to hell.
The presence of both beings beside a person throughout life touches on many aspects of human existence. The angel is most often associated with moments of danger. For instance, if a building is about to collapse, the angel, acting as an inner voice, may warn the person to move aside or avoid an action, thus saving them from harm.

Fox News is reporting that three grand jury subpoenas were issued today for John Brennan, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
Brennan was the former CIA Director during Russiagate, who created the fraudulent Intelligence Community Assessment. Strzok was the lead FBI counterintelligence agent in charge of Crossfire Hurricane, and Page was the former DOJ lawyer assigned to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Strzok and Page worked both the Clinton email investigation and the Trump-Russia investigation.
Fox News also reports that up to 30 grand jury subpoenas are anticipated to be served on former government officials involved in “Spygate” and/or “Russiagate.” [SEE FOX REPORT HERE]
There has been a tremendous amount of external pressure being applied, and thankfully this year a significant amount of key internal pressure has joined that effort. For the issues surrounding former CIA Director John Brennan, Fox News is citing a declassified “Annex A” of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) which highlights John Brennan including the Steele Dossier in the ICA at the request of former FBI Director James Comey.
The outcome of a grand jury subpoena means the primary Russiagate officials will have to lawyer up, spend money and go plead the 5th amendment, the most likely outcome.
From my frame of reference, the evidence against the targets clearly exists and does not need them to make any admissions or denials. However, putting them on record in court individually, possibly compelled to testify or invoke the 5th, would perhaps narrow down their options if they were eventually indicted and face a criminal trial.
