Argentina’s Milei Borrows Warren Buffett’s Idea To Punish Deficit-Spending Politicians

More than two years after campaigning to “blow up” Argentina’s central bank, President Javier Milei has announced his “Fiscal Shackle” bill – a permanent rule aimed at preventing Argentina from approving or maintaining budgets with fiscal deficits that could have consequences for politicians.

On Thursday, in a speech recorded at the Casa Rosada and broadcast nationwide, Milei proposed an overhaul that would restore the Central Bank of Argentina’s sole mandate of preserving the currency’s value, stop direct and indirect financing of the Treasury, provinces, and municipalities, and expose officials who violate the rules to criminal charges. “It will be considered fraud and illicit association,” he explained.

Milei said this is the “most important set of structural reforms in the last 91 years,” taking the year of the Central Bank’s founding, 1935, as the starting point for that period. He argued that the central bank has functioned as “a tool for theft” and indicated that his reform proposal seeks “to put an end to the scam of counterfeiting money to finance high-level politics, whose most evident manifestation is the inflation rate.”

The plan would also strengthen independence of central bank officials, making them more difficult for future administrations to remove. Milei said the reforms were an effort to end decades of deficit monetization, the primary source of Argentina’s recurring inflation and currency crises.

What is Going on with Mitch McConnell? – Several Lawmakers Weigh in on Governor Andy Beshear’s Ultimatum To McConnell

Former leader of the Republican Senate Caucus, Mitch McConnell, R-KY, has been in the hospital for almost 50 days.

He was hospitalized in mid-June, and nobody knows his current condition. Why is it taking so long to get a clear, definitive answer.

“Proof of life photos” were released over the past few weeks that allegedly show McConnell with his wife in the hospital, but many suspect that these photos are misleading.

McConnell’s current condition is still seemingly unknown.

McConnell is 84 years old and has served in the U.S. Senate since 1985.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear demanded that McConnell either address the people of Kentucky directly or resign from the Senate.

Beshear even sent a letter to President Trump about the situation.

In response to Beshear’s request, McConnell’s autograph was used on the letter, further drawing in speculation that his condition is a “cover-up” to avoid a special election for his seat.

Demoralizing The Whole Citizenry To The Max

The Curse It Is Cast…

“I have nothing to hide. I can explain and validate everything that I’ve done.”

– Dr. Anthony Fauci, recorded for TV in 2022

However you cut this Fauci business, one thing Americans have learned is how slippery and treacherous this thing called The Law has become.

You saw it in the sundry Trump prosecutions of 2024, too – a marvelous demonstration of how to play Hide-the-Salami with the truth about anything and everything.

You saw it in the structured failure to adjudicate election fraud in 2020.

You saw it in the Jan-6 prosecutions and the Congressional Jan-6 Committee charade that followed.

And much more.

And one thing it’s good for is demoralizing the whole citizenry to the max. Who in this land was not mortally depressed watching Rand Paul’s Senate hearing Wednesday starring Dr. Fauci? (One last time, the center of attention!) We have become a procedural republic, slipping into an impotence of legalistic self-fuckery the way old folks slip into dementia, one lost memory at a time. There sits the murderer of millions cloaked in the banality of his evil — as it was at Nuremburg eighty years ago — and this time, you just have to lump it, America. The law can’t touch him at all.

Dr. Fauci ran his own titanically corrupt fiefdom out of the nation’s public health complex. Half-a-million a year wasn’t enough for — let’s call him what he was — an executive bureaucrat. He doled out millions in grants to universities, drug companies, and putative public service orgs, and extracted his vig, about a million bucks in prize money during the Covid-19 episode, not counting his share of royalties from drug patents. A modest million. He must have thought: who will even notice. . . who would ever be bothered by that tiny number when Congress, the Federal Reserve, and everybody else is drowning in numbers with so many zeros it gives them tachycardia just to glance at the balance sheet.

Plus, the thoroughly dishonorable news media was busy making Dr. Fauci a rock-star. He had everything but the stadiums. The grand old gals of Hollywood were going all moist over him. “Julia Roberts sent me flowers today,” he typed into his government-issue diary. Barbra Streisand called him on the phone. “I told her that I work listening to her songs on ALEXA,” He gushed. His work resulted in the deaths of millions and the injury of millions more. Neverminding that, he carefully tracked and marveled at his burgeoning fame:

“Big front-page article abut [sic] me appeared in the Washington Post, [Dr. Fauci wrote]. Very flattering. The situation with my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable. It is not hyoperbole [sic] to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable peson [sic] in the world.”

Did Dr. Fauci know that his work-product, the Covid-19 episode and the operations around it, were aimed at setting up conditions to get President Trump bum-rushed out of office in favor of the vacant and pliable tool that was “Joe Biden?” Did others on the White House Covid Task Force know how that would work? Did they know who or what they were in league with?

Anyway, it didn’t turn out as well as they’d planned, of course. The four years of “Joe Biden” only proved how much that coalition of Deep Staters, globalists, and domestic riffraff hated the old American republic and its pain-in-the-ass Constitution. But when they foundered in 2024 — when old Joe-from-Scranton finally gave away the game on that fatal debate stage — and the party had to stuff his idiot veep into the nomination, the Democratic Party crossed an event horizon into total detachment from reality, where they remain to this day.

Fauci Destroyed Millions of Lives, and Truth-Tellers Are Owed Sincere Apologies

The Case That Demands to Be Made

History will not be kind to Anthony Fauci. It will not remember him as a hero of public health, because history records what the living refuse to admit: Fauci is the face of a mass casualty event.

I believe the pardon Joe Biden handed him is the clearest admission of guilt yet. Biden issued a preemptive pardon for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, shielding him from COVID-19-related criminal prosecution, backdated to 2014 [1]. Innocent men do not need backdated protection; guilty men cannot survive without it.

Ed Dowd described what we all witnessed as “the COVID psyop, the experimental mRNA shots, the mandates that destroyed lives, the injuries, the excess deaths, and the relentless propaganda machine that tried to silence anyone who noticed the bodies piling up” [2]. That is not a conspiracy theory. That is testimony. And the fact that no reckoning ever came only proves the operation was deliberate. Those of us who sounded the alarm were treated as enemies of the state, but we were the only ones telling the truth.

Fauci’s Non-Testimony and the Biological Weapon Cover-Up

The cover-up originated with the U.S. Dept. of Defense and then expanded to Wuhan. The Wuhan Cover-Up documents how the first SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence displayed a standout molecular feature that made it seem like this novel virus, spreading like wildfire, seemed deliberately designed to infect human cells [3]. I have long reported that the spike protein used in some vaccines is part of a more complex concoction derived from the SARS-CoV-2 bioweapon, which includes prions and elements from HIV, among other coronavirus strains [4]. This is not biology by accident; it is the engineering of a depopulation bioweapon.

Project Veritas documents indicate that the work conducted was indeed classified as gain-of-function research, suggesting a discrepancy between Dr. Fauci’s public claims and the reality of his actions [5]. So why did the man at the center of this never face a single day of questioning? Because the people who protected him were part of the same apparatus, of course.

The obvious question remains: why did Trump keep people like James Comey and Anthony Fauci in their positions despite their alleged ties to the deep state [5]?

The Persecution of Truth-Tellers

I lived this persecution. This is what the system does to anyone who refuses to be silent. The landmark lawsuit exposing U.S. government coercion of Big Social reminds us that free speech isn’t an option if you want to live in an open, creative, advanced, free-thinking society; it’s a necessity [6].

Many doctors suffered the same fate. The Fifth Circuit eventually issued a potentially precedent-setting ruling that sides squarely with the First Amendment in a case involving censorship of doctors [7], but the government even created a disinformation office and used the FBI to meddle in social media companies to get them to shut down or censor “unapproved” facts and ideas [8]. This was a coordinated attack on dissent, and the media was happy to cheer it on.

Accountability, Nuremberg, and the Apology That Is Owed

What happened to us all is a Nuremberg crime against humanity. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s work provides evidence necessary to hold those responsible for this Nuremberg crime against humanity legally accountable [9]. Fauci should be made to face the same kind of public accounting that the Nazis faced at Nuremberg. Not vigilante violence, but a trial in the light where every collaborator, funder, and enforcer is forced to testify.

The backdated pardon is not a shield. As attorney Greg Glaser said, “While Biden’s preemptive pardon is likely to shield Fauci from federal prosecution, it does not preclude state prosecution” [10]. And the House Oversight Committee invalidated over 4,200 executive actions and pardons signed via autopen under former President Joe Biden, citing a lack of proof that he authorized them [11].

Total Fraud: Adam Schiff Demands AI Political Parodies Be Banned, Forgets He Lied About Trump and Called It Parody in 2019

A politician who’s built his career on lies is suddenly worried about truth in advertising?

California Sen. Adam Schiff, a man with a documented record of deception, has introduced two bills aimed at regulating political speech in election campaigns — including one that would add prohibitions on content generated by artificial intelligence to a law that already prohibits campaigns from impersonating their opponents.

Maybe Schiff has forgotten his own past when it comes to impersonations — and the lies behind his attacks on President Donald Trump.

In a career of lowlights that would make a masochist blush, Schiff achieved one of his most notorious moments during the 2019 hearings that led up to Trump’s first impeachment, when the then-California congressman fabricated quotes from a phone call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelenskyy.

Schiff then defended playing fast and loose with the truth by claiming he was engaging in “parody.”

Well, reasonable people can disagree about whether Schiff was engaging in political “parody” or sinking to the belly-crawling tactics of a lying coward to further the cause of assassinating Trump’s character.  (The vote here is “belly crawling,” just for the record. Schiff’s record is so crooked even his mortgage reeks of fraud.)

But there’s no question that Schiff’s motivation for filing the bill comes from the campaigns that led up to California’s primary elections in June.

Senate Schedules Contempt Vote For Fauci

The Senate has scheduled a vote on holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt.

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on Aug. 5 will consider a contempt resolution for Fauci. The resolution has not been released as of yet.

If the panel approves the resolution, then it will be sent to the Department of Justice with a recommendation to prosecute Fauci, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), chairman of the Senate panel, said during an appearance on CBS on July 30.

Paul has previously requested prosecution of Fauci for allegedly lying to Congress, but federal prosecutors have not brought any charges to date.

Fauci, who led the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022, read an opening statement at a hearing of the committee on July 29, then refused to answer any questions.

Fauci said he was following advice from his lawyers and invoking his right under the Constitution’s Fifth Amendment, which protects people against self-incrimination.

Paul noted at the end of the hearing that a preemptive pardon from then-President Joe Biden issued in early 2025 covers Fauci for any crimes he may have committed from Jan. 1, 2014, through Jan. 19, 2025. Paul asked Fauci whether he, at any point during the time period the pardon covers, destroyed any federal record or instructed others to.

Fauci declined to answer, pointing to the Fifth Amendment.

“My question was limited to the period of your pardon only. I find your objection unsupported,” Paul said.

Fauci said in his opening statement that Paul is obsessed with calling for his prosecution.

“The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars,'” Fauci said.

Some senators said the situation called to mind what transpired with Lois Lerner, an IRS official who read an opening statement while appearing before a congressional panel in 2013 before refusing to answer any questions. The House of Representatives voted to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress.

Congress more recently approved contempt resolutions against Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, onetime advisers to President Donald Trump. The men were convicted of contempt and spent time in prison.

People convicted of contempt of Congress can land a fine of up to $100,000 and a prison term of up to 12 months.

Several legal experts told The Epoch Times that Fauci wrongly invoked the Fifth Amendment in response to some of the questions.

Calif.: Undercover anti-human trafficking initiative conducted during San Diego Comic-Con weekend results in arrest of 27 alleged sex buyers, recovery of 9 victims

A major undercover anti-human trafficking initiative conducted during San Diego Comic-Con weekend reportedly resulted in the arrest of 27 suspected sex buyers and the successful recovery of nine human trafficking victims.

The multi-agency operation, known as “Operation Iron Justice,” was spearheaded by the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force to disrupt illicit sex trade networks capitalizing on the massive influx of visitors to the region.

Among the nine individuals rescued during the three-day operation were seven adult victims and two juveniles, including a missing 16-year-old girl from San Bernardino County.

“The ugly truth is that the demand for these illegal services fuels the supply of commercial sex operations and human trafficking,” California Attorney General (AG) Rob Bonta stated. “No matter if it’s around large-scale conventions or anywhere else, solicitation is a crime and California stands ready to hold offenders accountable.” 

“Our ongoing efforts will continue to keep communities safe and achieve meaningful results that protect Californians,” Bonta continued. “Operation Iron Justice showcases that tremendous joint effort. We will not hesitate to prosecute traffickers with the available federal charges that carry 10-year and 15-year mandatory minimum sentences.”

Authorities immediately connected all recovered individuals with specialized survivor advocates, trauma-informed support services and age-appropriate care programs. Golden State officials also emphasized that victim recovery and immediate stabilization remain the primary objectives when carrying out high-intensity law enforcement operations of this scale.

Law enforcement agencies routinely focus enforcement efforts around large conventions and highly anticipated international gatherings, as sex buyers and traffickers frequently seek to exploit the cover of big crowds.

In this most recent sting, undercover personnel had reportedly utilized targeted online stings and investigative tactics throughout the convention period, actively identifying individuals seeking to purchase sex and intercepting trafficking networks operating in nearby hotels and surrounding areas.

The results of Operation Iron Justice demonstrate a significant increase in law enforcement activity compared to previous years.

With 27 buyers taken into custody, the total number of arrests more than doubled from the 13 buyers apprehended during the same event the prior year, highlighting both the scale of the issue and the intensified inter-agency coordination targeting human exploitation, officials say.

“The demand for commercial sex is what makes trafficking profitable, and in the City of San Diego, buyers will be held accountable. My office filed 81 cases against sex buyers so far this year, leveraging state law that now targets buyers directly,” said San Diego City Attorney Heather Ferbert. “Accountability is only half the job: our office operates the San Diego Family Justice Center, Your Safe Place, where survivors of trafficking can get help at no cost. I’m grateful to Attorney General Bonta and our Task Force partners for this collaboration.”

“We are a proud member of the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force. Working together, we successfully disrupted human trafficking here in San Diego,” said San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl. “These operations demonstrate our continued commitment to recovering victims and focusing on the buyers who drive the demand for this illegal activity.”

Powerful Democratic Donors Terrified About 2028 Due to ‘Floundering’ DNC: Report

The Democratic National Committee has had a no good, very bad year. That, of course, does not bode well for the 2028 presidential election cycle, and powerful Democrat donors have noticed.

According to Politico, the DNC’s embarrassing missteps under Chair Ken Martin have donors griping and looking for alternatives.

One donor, for instance, described the DNC as “sort of floundering right now.”

And that might have been the most generous assessment Politico received from more than half a dozen donors, donor advisors, and bundlers — those who collect many individual donations — nearly all of whom spoke anonymously.

“Nobody wants to give [Martin] or DNC money at this point, but worry is focused on the day after the midterms, because the DNC is more of a presidential player,” a Democratic bundler said. “It’s beyond embarrassing and it’s not going to get better until he is gone.”

Meanwhile, one donor advisor warned that the DNC’s failures under Martin mean that contributions will dry up after the 2026 midterms. That could change, however, if the DNC replaces Martin.

“We need an overhaul, and I think that’s what my folks will be in support of. And if that happens, there will be end-of-year giving, December will be a boom,” the donor adviser said. “But if it’s Ken, and it’s just the same — same old nonsense — I can’t make the case.”

How Demographics are Driving America’s Long-Term Fiscal Illness

Stomach Bugs and Systemic Debt

If it’s not a bizarre new geopolitical crisis, it’s a terrifying headline about the safety of our  food supply. 

This, no doubt, is an age of constant, low-grade dread. Every time you open your phone, there’s a fresh, steaming pile of bad news waiting to greet you.

But while the mainstream media loves to keep your anxiety levels on a gentle simmer, we prefer to look at the bigger picture. The absurdity of modern life is what we’re after.

Lately, two seemingly unrelated outbreaks have been competing for the spotlight. There’s a microscopic parasite making its way through America’s salad bowls. A healthy lunch has suddenly turned into poison.

At the same time, there’s a massive, systemic failure quietly brewing in Washington. One that’s growing so rapidly it makes a stomach bug look like a walk in the park. While one threatens to disrupt your digestive tract for a week, the other quietly promises to derail the economic security of several generations.

In truth, both of these crises suffer from the exact same fundamental problem. A complete failure of basic hygiene. Whether we’re talking about food safety or fiscal responsibility, ignoring the fundamentals eventually catches up to you. And when it does, the results are always messy, painful, and incredibly hard to clean up.

How is it that a nation seemingly obsessed with clean living managed to let both its fresh produce and its national checkbook rot from the inside out?

Today, we are diving headfirst into two of the most uncomfortable, stomach-churning epidemics sweeping across the nation. One of them is currently lingering on your unwashed spinach. The other is eating away at the very foundations of your financial future.

Explosive Diarrhea

Many strange and unpleasant things are being reported these days. We don’t know if they are really new. But the way they are reported makes them sound new and nasty.

Without question, explosive diarrhea has been around since Adam bit the apple. However, this new description for a stomach bug, like using polar vortex or heat dome to describe winter or summer weather, makes it sound especially alarming.

If you’ve somehow missed the many headlines, there’s a disease spreading across the USA that’s being reported to cause explosive diarrhea. This disease stems from a stomach parasite that is hiding in contaminated food.

Cyclospora cayetanensis is the microscopic parasite behind the outbreak. The infection it causes is formally called cyclosporiasis, and nasty is an understatement. We’ll spare you the ghastly details. From what we gather, unlike your standard 24-hour stomach bug, this uninvited guest can hijack your gut for weeks, sometimes teasing you by fading away only to make a miserable, unexpected comeback. 

Right now, the epicenter of this outbreak is the Midwest, with Michigan getting hit the hardest by a massive surge that has shattered its typical caseload. Major spikes are also popping up in Ohio, Illinois, New York, and Texas. In total, health officials have tracked cases across more than 30 states. They’re all tied to people eating contaminated food without ever leaving the country.

The parasite hitches a ride on fresh, raw produce – things like raspberries, basil, cilantro, and spinach. Because it is incredibly sticky, it thrives in the tiny cervices of your favorite summer greens, making it tough to spot and even tougher to dislodge.

Certainly, this sounds awful. But we’re confident it’s controllable and will soon disappear from the reporting cycle. Unfortunately, the same thing cannot be said for explosive debt…

Senate Committee Votes to Block Part of Trump Admin’s Effort to Dismantle Department of Education

Republican Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (A-AK) are working with Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) on a bill to block part of the Trump administration’s effort to dismantle the Department of Education (ED). 

On Thursday, the Senate HELP (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) Committee approved the bill, S. 5046, in a 13-9 vote to prohibit ED from moving special education and several other education offices to other federal agencies, Politico reported. 

The bill is in response to ED entering into at least a dozen interagency agreements (IAAs) to move certain functions to other departments as the Trump administration waits for Congress to follow through on the president’s campaign promise to eliminate the department. Officially ending the department would take an act of Congress, as it was Congress that created it 45 years ago under President Jimmy Carter.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon has called the IAAs “proof of concept” and said she hopes Congress will be more willing to end ED if lawmakers see the successful transition of major functions to other federal agencies. A spokesperson for ED called the new bill “entirely premature.”

A statement from ED spokeswoman Savannah Newhouse says:

Secretary McMahon promised Congress a proof of concept that is currently underway and delivering results across our partner agencies, and it is entirely premature to sabotage this effort before it has the chance to eliminate bureaucratic barriers and fully deliver the results that our students, families, and educators deserve.

Collins called the bill “straightforward” and said it keeps the administration of certain education programs “where Congress specifically put them and where they belong.”

Murkowski claimed the programs Congress told ED to oversee are there “for a good reason.”

“We cannot lose sight of the fact that at the end of the day, we’re talking about children, whether it’s children with special needs, whether it’s children in our elementary schools, whether it’s our Native students — making sure that we don’t lose that focus,” Murkowski said.

The bill would specifically stop the agency from moving the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, as well as the offices of Elementary and Secondary Education, Postsecondary Education, and Indian Education to other federal agencies. The bill is in addition to Congress approving non-binding language in the most recent spending bill telling ED it has no authority to move functions to other departments. 

The bill does not halt every interagency agreement, although Democrats want to stop those too, according to the report.

The future of the bill is “unclear,” per the report. However, Kaine told the outlet he hopes it is considered in appropriations discussions. The bill is directly at odds with a House bill the Education and Workforce Committee voted on last month to permanently move certain ED functions to other agencies.
