Tiny Company With China Ties Announces Big Purchase of Trump Cryptocurrency

The firm, which produces content for TikTok, recorded no revenue last year, but it announced this week that a mysterious stock sale would allow it to invest heavily in the $TRUMP memecoin.

 

A struggling technology company that has ties to China and relies on TikTok made an unusual announcement this week. It had secured funding to buy as much as $300 million of $TRUMP, the so-called memecoin marketed by President Trump.

DOGE Removes Dozens of Resurrected Contracts From Its List of Savings

Elon Musk’s group is no longer claiming credit for canceling those contracts after The New York Times reported that they were revived.

 

"DOGE teška prevara. Jedini zadatak im je očito bio infiltracija u državne službe i krađa podataka.

Elon Muskov Odjel za učinkovitost vlade više ne preuzima zasluge za ukidanje desetaka saveznih ugovora nakon što je New York Times prošli tjedan izvijestio da su već vraćeni na snagu.

Times je identificirao 44 obnovljena ugovora, a 43 od njih su se još uvijek nalazila na online "Zidu računa" grupe od prošlog tjedna. Zatim je, kasno u nedjelju, Muskova grupa izbrisala te tvrdnje za 31 ugovor sa svoje web stranice, eliminirajući 122 milijuna dolara uštede za koju je tvrdila da je postigla smanjenjem saveznih ugovora.

Te su uštede zapravo nestale danima ili tjednima ranije, kada su savezne agencije poništile otkazivanja koja su napravile na zahtjev Muskove grupe. Jedan obnovljeni ugovor, za koji je DOGE rekao da vrijedi 108 milijuna dolara, Ministarstvo za pitanja veterana obnovilo je nakon osam dana. Muskova grupa ga je i dalje dva mjeseca nakon toga navodila kao "raskinutog".

Prisutnost obnovljenih ugovora na DOGE-ovom popisu "raskida" bila je posljednja u nizu pogrešaka u podacima koje su uvelike umanjile njezin uspjeh u uštedi novca. U prošlosti je grupa brisala druge pogreške sa svoje stranice "Zid računa" nakon što su nova izvješća otkrila da su dvostruko brojali iste otkazivanja ili pripisivali zasluge za ukidanje ugovora koji su završili desetljećima ranije.

U nedjelju navečer, Muskova grupa je također dodala više od 800 novih raskinutih ugovora i povećala svoju ukupnu procjenu uštede - u svim vladinim aktivnostima, ne samo ugovorima - sa 165 milijardi dolara na 170 milijardi dolara. Grupa nije izbrisala sve uskrsnute ugovore koje je identificirao The Times. Ostavila je 12 na stranici, i dalje tvrdeći da je njihov raskid poreznim obveznicima uštedio 121 milijun dolara."

Neverovatno je kojom su brzinom presli iz law and order, rights by constitution, capitalism,  block China, Arabs can't get in they are enemies, draining the swamp u sasvim suprotno i samo slazu jedno na drugo opravdanje i objasnjenje. Za ono sto glasaju (navodno) kad dodje do realizacije onda je, nema veze, mi smo bas za ovo glasali... I zaista me ne interesuju ni njihova opravdanja, ni njihova objasnjenja, neka rade sta hoce, ali vredjaju inteligenciju i kisne gliste, kamoli coveka...

Ako hocemo iskreno, ali onako iz srca, to je jedino mesto na planeti gde tako nesto moze da prodje bez ikakvog otpora. Cak i ovim JabadabaDubaijma, S Koreji, Kini, Rusiji, Belorusiji moras bre da motkom da branis tu vlast, da aktivno radis na suzbijanju otpora. USA je jedina gde "zeleno" otvara sve. Jer svi ocekuju da ce i oni biti u istoj situaciji pa ce i oni biti "postedjeni" i bice im oprosteno.

To sam bas i htela u nastavku da napisem... ali reko ajd ne duzim

 

Demokrate su neupotrebive. Tu i tamo neko nesto kaze i samo se svi presaltaju na novu tacku dnevnog reda. 

 

David Hogg, momak koji je preziveo masovno ubistvo u Parklendu 2018 je zavrsio Harvard i postao politicki aktivan, posebno oko kontrole oruzja. Izabran ove godine u njegovoj 25 godini za potpredsednika demokratskog nacionalnog komiteta. Skoro je dao izjavu kako smatra da treba da postoji gornja granica da ljude biraju za politicare. Iste sekunde na celu sa Nensi Pelosi 84 (koja je prosle godine konstatno minirala AOC i to iz bolnice iz Luksemburga mislim, i vrsila pritisak da nominuju nekog od 75 godina starosti) demokrate su proglasile kako glasanje ima nekih nepravilnosti da bi uklonili David-a i jos nekog mladjanog, ne znam mu ime. 

 

Ni njima nikada nije dosta para, verovatno zato i cute sada. Oni vide svoju sansu da se omrse i nista ih ne interesuje. Zato ljudi, bar veliki broj njih odbija da ide na glasanje (to sto glasaju za Trampa, to je vecinom kult, cast izuzetcima). Ona Feinstein je dolazila polu-ziva i na kraju umrla u 90toj na poslu. 

 

Za trenutak sam bila pomislila da je nemoguce, valjda imaju neki plan za sve ovo, mozda je problem sto nemaju ni jednu granu vlasti pa cekaju, ali kako ce uopste dobiti ista kad cute?! Ovo na celu sa Trampom koji je neprikosnoven je bukvalno cerupanje drzave do poslednje koske. I samo zato cute. Ljudima uglavnom nista nije jasno, Trampisti padaju u nesvest cim on ode na toalet, oni konfete... ostali su u soku, ni ne znaju da li smeju da talasaju ili ne, a da ne zavrse u nekom San Salvadoru.

Evo jos jedan art of the deal

 

Trump Makes Stunning Deal With Mexican Cartel Leader

 

Quote

 

The deal is a shocking development considering that President Trump started his political career by saying, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best.”

 

“They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems,” Trump said in his 2015 speech at Trump Tower in New York. “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting.”

 

 

Da bi skresao jednog, drugog je pustio... cirkus

[mrd]

Samo da dodam, oni koji hoce da prate razvoj socijale u US, treba da obrate paznju, kako se postavljaju guverneri razvijenih drzava u US. Evo Newsom, svaki dan prica nesto protiv Trumpa, ali sisa nema hrabrosti da lupi sakom o sto i kaze ne. Dunulo mu je da se kandiduje na sledecim izborima i ne pada mu na pamet da talasa.

Kad imamoo takvo okruzenje, ili ti opoziciju, nema sanse da se bilo sta promeni. Svi gledaju funkciju predsednika, kao 8 godina na kraju svog politickog uspona.

I ja smatram da zakoni treba da se postuju, ali isto tako mislim da zakoni moraju da prate stvarnost i budu pravedni. Sjedinjenija je zemlja koju su gradili imigranti, i sa i bez papira, i ljudi su tu godinama, placaju poreze, odgajaju djecu, doprinose zajednicama, ali ostaju bez statusa jer sistem ne nudi realan put do legalizacije ako nisu "beli kao Elon" i nisu dosli avionom nego su trcali ili plivali preko granice... 

 

S druge strane Trampovi biraci koji navodno zele "law and order" ne obracaju paznju na 34 krivicna djela za koja je presudjeno fuhrer-u i par desetina koja su u izvrsenju, i fokusiraju se na ono sto je "low hanging fruit" -  hvataj i deportuj ljude  po boji koze... Daj sta das kad nemaju sanse da u drzavama MAGA bastionima rijese bilo sta drugo - tamo ogroman broj ubistava ostaje nerijesen jer - NEMA STOMATOLOSKIH KARTONA....

Kakve kritike Trampa? Da sutra svojerucno zaustavi nuklearni napad, rekli bi da je iscenirao.

Trumpovi kazini su bili vrlo uspesan biznis pa on da bi zaradio jos vise je pokrenuo Chapter 11? 

Ili su poslovali lose pa je pokrenuo Chapter 11 da ih zastiti od bankrota?

 

 

 

 

 

Ne, da ti odgovorim ozbiljno moracu da zatrazim vise vremena, jer sam zauzeta ovih dana. Ali ukratko nije problem bio toliko lose poslovanje, koliko leverage. Vrednost je cesto donosilo Trampovo ime. Ali od vise od 500 njegovih biznisa, 4 ili 6 (kako ko broji) su imali Chapter 11, I onda je imao University I jos par biznisa koji iz razlicitih razloga (prodao, losa investicija) nisu bili uspesni, to je poprilicno dobar procenat.

Mozemo i moramo reci da nam se zakoni ne dopadaju jer bi u suprotnom zakoni o segregaciji i dalje bili na snazi, i krsenje nepravednih zakona koji su u suprotnosti sa ljudskim pravima je osnova gradjanske neposlusnosti. Namjerno ne idem predaleko u proslost, nego se ogranicavam samo na period tokom mog zivota - jer su zakoni o sgregaciji ukinuti tu negdje oko mog rodjenja. I ti zakoni su sruseni njihovim  krsenjem  koje su radili neki hrabri ljudi koji su promijenili svijet na bolje. Sve dok ova administracija nije ponovo omogucila uvodjenje segregiranih wc-a. 

 

A zakon nije pravedan ako se ne primjenjuje na isti nacin na bele Elona Muska i Louis Barkera  kao sto se primjenjuje na Meksikance koji rade po farmama.

Trump's traveling trunk show is backfiring

At least on the issue of putting the USA up for sale, we’re all united against Trump

 

For the record, there is no truth to the rumor that Donald Trump has an embroidered pillow that reads, “He who dies with the most toys wins.”

That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t like one. He’s just not going to pay for it; apparently, no one has given him one as a gift yet. 

Trump has made it pretty clear where his shriveled little heart lies. And it lies often about everything to benefit himself and no one else. 

It’s a yard sale, folks, and Trump is selling while the world is buying. A former Trump official clarified it for me further. “If you think Trump is holding a yard sale, I would remind everyone that the United States is the yard that is for sale and everything, including security secrets, defensive initiatives, private data, and secrets most people don’t know about are for sale.” If that doesn’t bother you, my source said, “And no one in this administration is going to call him out. The new Trump regime is becoming increasingly insulated while his activities grow more outrageous. Everything he does is pay to play.”

Most of the world has grown weary of the man, if elections in Canada, the growing resentment of him in Europe, or even the new criticism of him among MAGA circles mean anything. Then again, his latest trip to the Middle East shows that the obscenely rich and powerful potentates who oppress and repress their fellow countrymen while they gain more power and wealth due to their oil reserves are more than willing to hand over hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars, to Donald Trump (Not the USA) in a bid to curry favor with him so they can get what they want at his yard sale. They may be sick of him, but they sure know how to manipulate him.

The latest hue and cry from the masses about Donald Trump comes from the announcement that the country of Qatar has gifted him a $400 million Boeing 747. Ostensibly, it is to be used as Air Force One, but it will be Trump’s to use once he leaves – if he ever leaves – office.

So, to recap, the richest and most powerful are willing to bribe the man who wants to be one of the richest and most powerful because Trump nominally represents the world’s largest consumer nation.

Go figure.

Trump, of course, is angry that anyone would question his motives. On Tuesday, he insulted an ABC reporter with a sneer and his usual mangling of the English language and logic when he said, “They’re giving us a free jet. I could say no, no, no, don’t give [it to] us. I want to pay you $1 billion or $400 million or whatever it is. Or I could say thank you very much.” Trump also compared taking the gift to former professional golfer Sam Snead. “He had a motto; when they give you a putt, you say ‘thank you very much,' you pick up your ball and you walk to the next hole.”

It always boils down to golf with Trump. He is more likely to expire on the back nine of a golf course after shanking a par 5 off the tee than any man I’ve ever known. His analogy also carries a deeper meaning. It tells you the extent of his grift. Take any freebie you get – even though in this case it’s not a freebie. A source inside the DOD told me, “Don’t worry it’s never going to be used as Air Force One. By the time they check it for bugs, retrofit it and prepare it, the country will have spent $1 billion and Trump will be out of office. It’ll just stay parked at an airport nearby his so-called Presidential Library so he can use it personally whenever he wants.”

This gets interesting because MAGA boosters like Laura Loomer, Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro have joined the ranks of Democrats and progressives like Bernie Sanders and James Carville in criticizing Trump for making the deal.

“I think if we switched the names to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, we’d all be freaking out on the right,” Shapiro said Monday on his podcast. “President Trump promised to drain the swamp. This is not, in fact, draining the swamp.” Shapiro also linked the potential airplane deal to other acts of “influence peddling,” like Trump’s cryptocurrency sweepstakes. “The administration’s policy is too important for this sort of activity,” Shapiro said. 

Loomer blasted Trump on social media with anti-Hamas posts (Qatar is an ally of Hamas) and said she hoped the deal wasn’t true because she’d take a bullet for Trump. Levin chimed in with a “Ditto.”

Sounds like what James Carville said Tuesday, except for the taking a bullet part, when he urged lawmakers to “jump on this corruption and never get off of it.” Trump is “taking a $400 million jet for lifetime use from a foreign government,” Carville told Chris Cuomo on News Nation. “He’s selling places at a White House dinner for people that buy his meme coin, which goes right into his pocket. And that’s what the tragedy is.” 

Trump has been criticized by the left, right, middle and everyone but those in the Middle East who are paying a hefty sum for Trump’s attention. You’d think someone would tell them that Trump’s price tag is a lot less than $400 million. Hell, Elon Musk, the immigrant who criticizes other immigrants, bought Trump for about half that much.

Stop by the White House for Trump’s yard sale, contribute to his cryptocurrency and get a free dinner with him; or if you can’t make it to the White House, he’ll go to you. And while Trump continues to sell out his country, it isn’t the entire story. It certainly isn’t the most egregious part of the story.

Donald Trump stood up in Saudi Arabia and lavished praise on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He called him “an incredible man” and a “great guy” and declared that he liked him “too much.”

MBS, sitting in the first row of attendees while Trump made his speech, smiled and waved. Let the record show that the CIA named MBS as the mastermind behind the murder of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi. Joe Biden wouldn’t meet with the man, but Trump is making deals right and left with the guy he likes “too much.” The press? We’ve pretty much ignored that unsettling fact. Almost like we’ve been cowered into submission by Der Leader.

So much for free speech and the right to dissent. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller (who some in the White House refer to as “Pee Wee German”) told us last week the administration is eliminating the Department of Education so we can teach young American children the right way to think. No one is talking about Khashoggi’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, however. He’s dead, buried and apparently forgotten.

Presidential Pep Secretary Karoline Leavitt, meanwhile, suffered her latest humiliation as she talked herself into a knot trying to defend Trump’s yard sale. Sure, she said, “The president is abiding by all conflict of interest laws,” but he’s obviously not. She can say that it’s “ridiculous” to suggest that “President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit,” but that’s obviously his first concern. He’s leveraging the Middle East to pad his own pocket. The question remains: Will he change U.S. policy to favor his bottom line? It’s not a question that requires a lot of deep thought. Trump has spent a lifetime in his narcissistic pursuit of doing what’s best for him at the expense of everyone else.

There’s plenty of evidence to show us what the yard sale is doing for Trump.

Within the last month, Eric Trump announced plans for an 80-story Trump Tower in Dubai, the UAE’s largest city. He also attended a recent cryptocurrency conference there with Zach Witkoff, a founder of the Trump family crypto company, World Liberty Financial, and son of Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.

“We are proud to expand our presence in the region,” Eric Trump said last month in announcing that Trump Tower Dubai was set to start construction this fall.

True to form, Trump’s business interests include a business partnership with Qatari Diar, a real estate company backed by the sovereign wealth fund in Qatar, to build a luxury golf resort there. Wonder why Trump got the 747? Come on. 

Meanwhile, the Trump family is also leasing its brand to two new real estate projects in the Saudi Arabian Capital, Riyadh. There, they are partnering with Dar Global, a London-based luxury real estate developer and subsidiary of private Saudi real estate firm Al Arkan. What’s the life of a Washington Post journalist compared to those deals? Trump’s in. It’s pay to play, baby. 

The Trump Organization has similarly partnered with Dar Global on a Trump Tower set to be built in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and an upcoming Trump International Hotel and luxury golf development in neighboring Oman. Wonder what they got at the yard sale to justify that?

During the crypto conference, a state-backed investment company in Abu Dhabi announced it had chosen USD, World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin, to back a $2 billion investment in Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Critics say that it allows Trump family-aligned interests to essentially take a cut of each dollar invested.

“I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said when asked by reporters about the transaction on Wednesday. When he says he doesn’t know anything about the subject, be it Epstein Island, COVID, Project 2025 or hundreds of other subjects he claimed ignorance about, you know he’s lying. 

So when Shapiro asked in his podcast, “How does this put America First?” He was echoing the thoughts of everyone from Bernie Sanders, AOC, and your average American auto worker to Trump supporters in the House and Senate.

Perhaps Donald Trump is right: He’s bringing unity to the United States. At least on this issue, we’re united against Trump.

And yet there still remains little hope that there will be a combined effort to stifle Trump or hold him accountable for his actions. As a former insider I know told me Wednesday, Trump is “not worried” about MBS, the trip to the Middle East or anything else because “The Democrats remain floundering.” So busy are they fighting over “David Hogg and how to appeal to American voters without listening to the voters,” that my source is convinced the Republican Party (insert MAGA) will continue to win future elections and Donald Trump will make away with billions while selling out America. The yard sale will continue.

By dealing with MBS, Trump is also telling you that he doesn’t care who you kill to get to the head of the table. Money talks. It may be a profitable way to run a business, but I doubt many of us could sleep soundly knowing innocent people were killed so others could purchase our goods at a yard sale.

Trump? 

He’ll sleep just fine. No one sleeps more soundly than a man without a conscience, a heart, or any common sense. Unless he’s not making a profit. Right now, Trump is obviously profiting and in the best position he’s ever been in during his life. It’s doubtful anyone will stop him.

And we will suffer for decades because of it. Just remember what happened to Jamal Khashoggi.
