Holy shit, I think I just realized a direct and concrete way that I’ve personally experienced to how #Nostr completely changes the social incentives:

• Rage and hateful posts on Twitter get the most attention.
• Positive and happy posts on Nostr get the most zaps.

It really was just monetization all the time.

When attention is the currency, negativity and hate rise to the top because the platforms need people arguing.

When sats directly from peers are the currency, value rises to the top.

(Anyone else feel they’ve had this same experience?)


Looks great!  I hope you sell them all.

Heather Morgan, AKA 'Razzlekhan' is a self proclaimed social engineer who pleaded guilty to laundering funds her husband hacked from Bitfinex (120,000 BTC) back in 2016.

I crossed paths with her in Nashville this week. After asking around I discovered she has been spotted at multiple Bitcoin events over the past year.

It's extremely suspicious that she is still walking free and hasn't been sentenced for her crimes.

I recommend that all Bitcoin event organizers treat her as a threat actor and DENY ENTRY.

After several weeks of persistent effort, I'm excited to share Nostr Web Services (NWS).

NWS makes your web service reachable without having a publicly accessible IP address or DNS. All you need is an npub and a set of Nostr relays. A wide range of existing services could be run on NWS without requiring any significant changes. NWS achieves this by establishing a TCP connection between client and server which can be used by these applications.

Please keep in mind, that the software is in a very early state and not even released yet.

It’s not *all stupidity, but yes, there is a hell of a lot of stupidity.

Layer in the fact that society is one big complex system, and you begin to see all kinds of madness emerge.

That’s why it’s so important to keep a tether to that which works / does not pass (tradition) and to have strong, unwavering principles.

The Biden Titanic

The Biden Titanic

            https://amgreatness.com/2024/07/15/the-biden-titanic/

Joe Biden’s escalating dementia and the long media-political conspiracy to hide his senility from the public are the least of the Democrats’ current problems.

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/-97KaFScSDi27nn3Z2lpjQ.jpg?itok=1g9ASIdg

Biden’s track record as president may be more concerning than his cognitive decline. He has literally destroyed the U.S. border, deliberately allowing the entry of more than 10 million illegal aliens. His callous handlers’ agenda was to import abjectly poor constituencies in need of vast government services without regard for the current struggles of a battered American middle class and poor.

The widespread poverty of a vast new cohort of illegal immigrants could serve as indictments of a “racist,” “unequal,” and “unfair” America—as if the residents of East Palestine, Ohio or inner-city Chicago had anything to do with the centuries-long corruption and oppression of Mexico and Latin America that daily drives thousands of their own poorest citizens northwards to a society founded on very different ideas than those of their homelands.

Note that the left, neither in Mexico nor in America, never asks why millions of these impoverished people prefer to break into a supposedly racist America. Much less do they even distinguish those principles and values that once made America prosperous, free, and secure from their antitheses that have sadly made much of Latin America mostly poor, without freedom, and insecure.

Biden inherited near-zero real interest rates and inflation at 1.4 percent. Almost immediately, in nihilistic fashion, Biden did to a sound economy what he had done to a secure border. So, he recklessly printed money at a time of spiraling, quarantine-ending demand and supply chain disruption. Middle-class wages never caught up with Biden’s inflation, as prices for key staples are nearly 30 percent higher than when he took office.

The cost of servicing the ballooning national debt at high interest is now nearly $1 trillion per year. The world abroad is aflame, lit by Biden’s inexplicable withdrawal from Kabul, his mixed signals to Vladimir Putin on the eve of his invasion of Ukraine, his deliberate alienation of Israel, his appeasement of Iran and China, and his cuts in the defense budget, coupled with his woke war on mythical “racists” in the military.

Energy prices soared, even as Biden’s green agenda proved unworkable and prompted draining the strategic petroleum reserve and begging foreign oil despots before key elections. The “unifier” Biden by design needlessly alienated nearly half the country, and in his debate, he reiterated why Trump supporters do not deserve his concern. And more ominously and recently, Biden grossly told hundreds of his donors that “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye”—just days before the attempt on Trump’s life.

The greatest absurdity of the Biden White House is the gaslighting talk of Biden’s “achievements.” Biden’s actions over the last four years are not offsets for his senility that warrant his continuance in office, but again, sadly, they serve as force multipliers, furthering claims of his dementia and for his removal.

Joe Biden is not just non compos mentis and in a sane world, he would be subject to 25th Amendment removal. He also increasingly seems unpleasant and obnoxious, if not sometimes simply weird. To achieve momentary clarity, Biden either shouts at his audience or stoops over and whispers in an eerie fashion.

He insults reporters and his own staff. Every few sentences, without warning, he begins screaming. His face is fixed in a permanent, angry contortion. As a result, the public sees their president as an off-putting, angry old man—and in his selfish dotage, an increasingly unsympathetic one. Even after more than 40 months of media hagiography, Joe Biden still cannot poll over a 40 percent approval rating, given that his rudeness is fueled further by the day due to escalating mental confusion.

Biden is, to be candid, a serial prevaricator. It is not just his ad nauseam repetition of Trump’s supposed slurs—the Charlottesville “both sides” lie, the “suckers” lie, or the “bloodbath” lie. He continues to peddle absolute falsehoods like the mythical nine-percent inflation he inherited and Trump’s supposed intention to ban all abortions, or his whopper that after welcoming in 10 million illegal aliens, Biden would have had a closed, secure border if not for those selfish Republicans who, for some reason, did not trust his ridiculous eleventh-hour, election-timed immigration proposal.

When he hammers Trump as a “convicted felon,” Biden has no clue that a majority of Americans equate that charge with Biden’s own warped lawfare assault on ancient customs, as well as a reminder that his now closest advisor is likewise a “convicted felon.”

When Biden rants near daily about the rich “paying their fair share,” he reminds us that his son is also facing federal tax evasion charges for unreported foreign income in the millions of dollars and that as soon as Biden himself leaves office, as a recipient of the same foreign cash, he may find himself in the same legal jeopardy. So, to use a Bidenism, “how dare he” accuse affluent Americans of the very crimes that his own family is knee deep in?

Biden’s prefaces of “no lie,” “here’s the deal,” “no kidding,” and “no joke” are little more than tics that forewarn us of complete fabrications about to follow, from the ridiculous story of an uncle supposedly eaten by New Guinea cannibals to his supposed heroics during the Civil Rights movement and his near childhood adoption by various minority communities.

In this regard, senility served oddly as a crutch for Biden. In the past, he paid dearly for his plagiarism, cheating, racist rants, and prevarications, losing three presidential bids and earning a reputation as the empty-suit blowhard of the Senate. Now his press handlers conveniently chalk up his long-standing habitual untruth as momentary mental “confusion.”

Given all the above, remember that Biden was to be the “savior” of the Democratic Party. To this day, celebrities demanding his withdrawal from the race throw him the bone that “he saved the country by stopping Trump”—as if no wars, stability abroad, no inflation, low interest, and low energy costs were something to fear.

Yet Biden’s four years pale in comparison to what in 2016 might have been a Harris, Buttigieg, Warren, Booker, or Sanders candidacy or presidency. No wonder Democrats concluded that there were no viable alternatives to a cognitively challenged Biden, precisely because Biden was the only available fig leaf to the new Democratic Party and its neo-socialist agenda—that, if transparent, would have terrified the country that it was soon to nearly destroy.

Biden’s Democratic critics have it all wrong: removing Biden is wise and needed for the country’s sake, but it will not solve the growing public anger at the left. Without the veneer of even a tottering old Joe from Scranton, there will be no camouflage. And then, the true leftist agenda will be served raw to the American people—open borders, woke/DEI racial polarization, transgendered obsessions, inflation/stagflation, wars a plenty abroad, an inert Pentagon, unaffordable energy, partial-birth abortions, and crazy ideas like packing the court and making Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, states.

So, what is the Democratic strategy to win the 2024 election?

Certainly, an “open” convention would not produce a moderate Democratic nominee or even a suitable replacement façade. There are no moderates in contention. If there were any hale candidates to offer cover, the party would be in permanent war with its shrill and angry woke base. Joe is the last of his generation to offer a credible front. There are no more Diane Feinsteins or Bill Clintons to package the hard-left agenda. If Harris cannot serve as Biden’s replacement, someone like her or further to the left would appear on spec.

The Democrats have no plans to run on their record.

Their tripartite strategy is as simple as it is tired and worn.

	First, expect a third chapter to follow the 2016 Russian collusion caper and the 2020 laptop disinformation ruse - likely some October revelation from the administrative state’s “experts” and “authorities” that Trump is a criminal, a traitor, or a spy or plans a coup, to destroy NATO or nuke something. Perhaps there is another Access Hollywood tape, a porn star on ice, anything to avoid discussing the damage done since 2017.

	Second, there is still a last gasp to a dying lawfare. Never underestimate the last-gasp judicial effort to inactivate, gag, bankrupt, or jail Trump, however counterproductive such attempts so far have proved.

	Third, when all else fails, remember that in many of the swing states, 70 percent of the electorate will not be voting on Election Day and will not be presenting IDs. Millions of their ballots will be harvested or cured by third-party activists. Last time around, the leftist journalist Molly Ball bragged about their “cabal” and “conspiracy” of big money and big tech that had “saved” Americans from Trump.

Those post-election confessions were not just high-fiving but also a confident forewarning of what is to come.

"We Settle Our Differences At The Battle Box" - Biden Oval Office Speech Marred By Latest Huge Gaffe

"We Settle Our Differences At The Battle Box" - Biden Oval Office Speech Marred By Latest Huge Gaffe

            Americans can't count on the Secret Service to secure a rooftop perch just 400 feet from Donald Trump's podium, but they can count on President Biden to deliver a huge verbal blunder every single time he's in a major spotlight.

The latest proof came on Sunday evening, as Biden delivered a special address to the American people from the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. It was just the third time in his term that he used that setting. It imparts the highest gravitas to a presidential message -- but only if the chief executive in question is capable of speaking even roughly verbatim the words that appear before him on a teleprompter. That is absolutely not the case with Joe Biden.
https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/biden%20oval%20office.jpeg?itok=09x4vbvL

Prompted by Saturday's stunning assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania that nearly killed Trump while taking the life of a spectator and critically injuring two more, Biden's six-minute speech centered on a call for Americans to "lower the temperature in our politics." Here's a sampling:

“We cannot, we must not, go down this road in America. There is no place in America for this kind of violence, for any violence, ever. Period. No exceptions. We can’t allow this violence to be normalized...Politics must never be a battlefield or, God forbid, a killing field.”

Then, like clockwork, came the inevitable major-league Biden malfunction. Instead of insisting that Americans settle their differences at the ballot box, Biden said political differences should be settled at the "battle box." He then paused in what seemed like recognition of his error, only to reiterate the idea and again seem to say "battle box."

"In America, we resolve our differences at the battle box." https://t.co/4YmPyXK25g

The flub was remarkable because it was the latest in a specific pattern in which Biden's brain serves up a word or phrase that's the opposite of what he's trying to convey. The chief example of that phenomenon was when, introducing Ukrainian President Zelensky, he introduced him as President Putin:

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦 Holy shit! Biden just introduced Zelensky as “PRESIDENT PUTIN.”
“And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine... ladies and gentlemen - President Putin.”https://t.co/0E2NPDbVAq

A couple hours later -- at highly-anticipated, high-stakes press conference -- he told reporters, "I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be (my) vice president did I think she's not qualified to be president":

"I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president, if she's not qualified to be president." https://t.co/UnLFQy05cj

Although Biden's remarks have faced close scrutiny since his train-wreck of a June 27 presidential debate put even low-info Americans on notice of his mental decline, virtually every media outlet on Sunday charitably quoted Biden as saying "ballot box." After more than two weeks of boosting the establishment coup that seeks to replace Biden on November ballots, maybe they thought that was their own contribution to "turning down the temperature."

The "battle box" was far from Biden's only verbal stumble. For example, elsewhere in his remarks, he made a reference to "the former Trump" -- a Freudian wishful-thinking slip?

We'd be remiss if we didn't underscore the towering hypocrisy of Biden admonishing Americans against using heated rhetoric: Biden has been at the forefront of a leftist campaign to turn up the temperature of American politics, by casting Trump as a unique danger to the country, one whose re-election could mean the 2024 election is our last.

Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation.
He's a threat to our freedom. He's a threat to our democracy. He's literally a threat to everything America stands for.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1806745000971296833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

The closest Biden came to acknowledging any personal responsibility for the overheated political rhetoric was to say "we all have a responsibility" to "cool it down." That is to say, he came nowhere close.

Biden's speech also contained a fluffy line clearly written by people with little grasp of the history of America's founding:

"You know, from the beginning, our founders understood the power of passion, so they created democracy. That gave reason and balance a chance to prevail over brute force."

To the contrary, because they understood "the power of passion," the founders were extremely wary of democracy. In a pure democracy, passions can put political minorities in grave peril -- which is why the Constitution and Bill of Rights contain various safeguards against a "tyranny of the majority." The founders sought "reason and balance" by veering away from democracy and instead instituting a representative republic with https://starkrealities.substack.com/p/americans-are-fighting-for-control

As for the soaring passions of the present day, as Brian McGlinchey has explained at https://starkrealities.substack.com/p/americans-are-fighting-for-control
, they're in great part the result of the disintegration of the founders' safeguards:

The intensity of our division springs from a federal government operating far beyond the limits of the Constitution — fueling a fight for control over powers that were never supposed to exist at the national level. To put it another way, if the federal government were confined to its actual granted authorities, federal elections would be of little interest to the general public, because the outcome would be largely irrelevant to their everyday lives.

Needless to say -- from weaponization of an FBI that isn't even authorized to exist to the use of unconstitutional regulatory agencies to target political adversaries -- Biden and other leftists zealously exploit those disintegrating safeguards to advance their decidedly un-American agenda.

Meanwhile, though Biden's latest major gaffe underscores the sorry state of his faculties, social media is having a ball with it...

Scientists Find A Cause of Lupus And A Way To Potentially Reverse It

Scientists Find A Cause of Lupus And A Way To Potentially Reverse It

            https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/scientists-find-a-cause-of-lupus-and-a-way-to-potentially-reverse-it-5683809?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=ZeroHedge&src_src=partner&src_cmp=ZeroHedge
 (emphasis ours),

Patients with lupus have an imbalance in a crucial chemical pathway in their bodies, according to a Nature study published on Wednesday.
https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/image_80%28608%29.jpg?itok=0ctR7OJG

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07627-2
 that this imbalance produces more disease-causing cells that promote lupus. If this chemical imbalance can be corrected, they believe lupus can be reversed.

Current lupus treatments often target symptoms or broadly suppress the immune system, leading to side effects. The researchers believe targeting the specific chemical imbalance identified could more effectively treat lupus without systemic immunosuppression interventions.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack its own tissues and organs, including the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs.

There is currently no cure for lupus.

A Surprising ‘Molecular Switch’

The chemical that researchers identified is the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR).

AHR is a key protein involved in the imbalance of immune cells in lupus patients. It regulates the body’s response to environmental pollutants, bacteria, and metabolites. While AHR is present in all cells, it is not always active.

Researchers found that lupus patients have reduced AHR activity. This reduction leads to an increase in follicular and peripheral T helper cells, which are involved in inflammation and autoimmunity.

However, when AHR activity increases, these T-cells are reprogrammed to be T-cells that promote wound healing and barrier protection.

Dr. Jaehyuk Choi, associate professor of dermatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and the study’s senior author, explained to The Epoch Times that AHR can be compared to “a molecular switch” that determines the fate of immune cells.

By developing therapeutics that target AHR in rogue T-cells, researchers believe they may be able to reverse lupus.

Dr. Choi and Dr. Deepak Rao, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, expressed their surprise at discovering that AHR could be vital in reversing autoimmunity, given that the receptor had no known connection to it.

Dr. Rao, who is also a senior author of the study, added that it was initially surprising to find that a T-cell involved in wound healing would be the opposite of an autoimmune T-cell.

“Those two T-cell populations with those two functions are not obviously connected or related,” he said. He added that he could not have predicted that when wound-healing T-cells increased, autoimmune T-cells would decrease, and vice versa.

T-Cells Drive Autoimmunity

Follicular and peripheral T helper cells have long been known to play a major role in driving lupus, Dr. Rao told The Epoch Times.

In lupus, the patient’s body produces autoantibodies, antibodies that attack self-tissues. B-cells generate these autoantibodies under the control of rogue autoimmune T-cells.

Therefore, by converting these autoimmune T-cells into cells involved in wound healing, the production of autoantibodies is reduced, thereby decreasing autoimmunity.

“It is almost like a cell streamline, where if you can block one part, then the downstream is blocked,” Dr. Choi explained.

He highlighted the study’s findings demonstrating that adding AHR to rogue T-cells in cell culture transforms them into wound-healing cells. These reprogrammed cells can no longer help B-cells make autoantibodies.

Dr. Rao added that these rogue T-cells are also present in other autoimmune conditions, like rheumatoid arthritis, raising the question of whether drug targets for these cells may apply to such conditions.

Treatment Without Immunosuppression

The study sampled 19 lupus patients and compared their immune cells to those of 19 healthy people.

Despite the small initial sample size, the authors told The Epoch Times that they believe their findings apply to all patients because they have been corroborated through genetic studies.

Dr. Choi explained that their findings were also validated in AstraZeneca’s https://www.astrazeneca.com/media-centre/press-releases/2019/anifrolumab-demonstrated-superiority-across-multiple-efficacy-endpoints-in-patients-with-systemic-lupus-erythematosus-in-phase-iii-tulip-2-trial.html
. These trials tested anifrolumab, a drug that interacts with the AHR pathway, and found it successfully controlled lupus symptoms.

Current lupus treatments are prescribed to resolve symptoms or elicit broad immunosuppressive effects by reducing B- and T-cell activity.

However, when rogue T-cells are targeted explicitly with AHR, patients may experience disease reversal without compromising their overall immunity.

Additionally, the increase in cells involved in wound and barrier repair may help alleviate gastrointestinal problems in patients with lupus.

“There have been a number of studies that have suggested abnormalities in barrier function or barrier integrity in patients with lupus, especially in the gut,” Dr. Rao said. “So one can imagine that there could be a beneficial effect of that.”

Currently, Drs. Choi and Rao’s team are working to identify specific therapeutics that selectively target only rogue T-cells.

Since AHR is present in all cells, broad administration of AHR-targeted treatments could cause systemic adverse effects, which the authors are trying to avoid.

Currently, there are already drugs on the market that activate AHR, such as toparinof, a topical cream approved for treating psoriasis.

Major Environmental Contributors to Lupus?

Researchers do not know why AHR is involved in lupus progression. It is also currently unknown why some people get lupus and others don’t, though researchers believe it is a combination of genetic and environmental exposures to toxins and infections.

Given AHR’s role in responding to environmental factors, Dr. Choi said their findings may suggest that major environmental factors contribute to lupus.

Perhaps AHR, “which normally integrates information from the outside or the environment … has gone awry in patients with lupus,” and patients may be able to resolve their lupus through lifestyle changes alone, Dr. Choi speculated.

“I think this needs more research, but it is an interesting idea that we can now think about,” he said.

Why Gavin Newsom Must Never Become US President

Why Gavin Newsom Must Never Become US President

            https://amgreatness.com/2024/07/10/why-gavin-newsom-must-never-become-u-s-president/

As President Biden’s age threatens to derail his reelection campaign, waiting in the wings and trying not to appear too eager is Gavin Newsom. It’s not easy. Wanting to be president with an intensity that might make Gollum’s lust for the One Ring appear prosaic, California’s governor knows that if Biden drops out, he’s the oddsmakers’ favorite.

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/GettyImages-1461443718.jpg?itok=bYAN8deK

But there is absolutely nothing Gavin Newsom has ever done that qualifies him to be president of the United States. If Newsom becomes the next U.S. president, he will accelerate a process that is already well underway and must be stopped at all costs: turning all of America into California.

There are glaring examples of California’s over-the-top embrace of progressive extremism. Identity politics. Race and gender “equity.” Decriminalizing crime and hard drugs. A complete failure to manage the state’s homeless, much less help them. An obsession with climate change that has inspired laws that reach into virtually every facet of life. Shortages of energy, water, and housing. And prices for goods and services so punitive that millions have fled.

Under Gavin Newsom’s watch, the state is devolving into feudalism: a massive underclass that can’t survive without government assistance, supervised by an elite minority that will retain political power by continuing to dole out that assistance. The formula is simple: make life progressively more difficult for ordinary Californians, tell them their travails are the result of bigotry and climate change, then secure their votes by offering them more government benefits.

And herein lies Newsom’s biggest crime, one shared by the progressive elites that run California and intend to take over the world. It is the biggest lie of modern progressivism—the corrupt foundation of their power. Newsom and his ilk are telling California’s middle class that what they have attained is socially unjust and ecologically unsustainable. They tell us that the ideals of equity and environmentalism compel us to live in high-density, low-impact housing, utilize shared transportation, and limit our consumption of anything that elevates our “carbon footprint.” And they are telling us that our taxes must be utilized to offer these same limited amenities to anyone who is “underserved,” “historically disadvantaged,” “unhoused,” or in any way a victim of “systemic discrimination.”

All of these assertions are monstrous lies. California is unaffordable because of decades of political choices, escalating every year, that have created high prices for everything. And more to the point, the elites that Newsom is part of and represents are themselves profiting from all of these policies that have condemned most Californians to lives of constant work and constant economic struggle. Which is to say that Newsom’s lies about the “climate crisis” and the alleged pervasive ongoing scourge of bigotry are not even noble lies in the service of achieving a better future for all. They are lies in the service of corruption, a con job designed to further enrich and empower a small elite.

Newsom is unqualified to be president of the United States for the same reason he is unfit to be governor of California. His entire public policy agenda is a rhetorical farce, existing only to fool voters, while across every major industry, politically connected players consolidate their power and their profits. Examples of this are comprehensive.

Across every business sector, owners and executives face cruel choices: fight a losing battle to preserve competition and manage costs, or stop doing business in California entirely, or join the cabal. Some still fight. Countless businesses have left. And a growing number choose to accommodate. They accept stifling regulations, knowing they have reduced the number of competitors. They accept higher costs and pass them on to increasingly captive customers with fewer and fewer options. They become bloated with attorneys and bureaucrats to deal with myriad government agencies, and for whatever the customer cannot bear, they collect in government subsidies. It’s a vicious circle, and as California spirals into feudalism, it’s taking America with it.

There is the homeless industrial complex, a consortium of government bureaucracies, “nonprofit” developers and operators, and for-profit vendors that have consumed tens of billions over just the past few years to house a laughably small fraction of California’s homeless, while simple shelters where sobriety was enforced would get them safe and on a path to recovery for a fraction of the cost.

There is Environmentalism Inc., unifying ambitious and zealous government agencies with powerful environmentalist nonprofit advocacy groups, trial lawyers, “renewables” importers, manufacturers and systems integrators, joined with utilities that love high energy prices because their profit is held to a fixed percentage of revenue. Higher costs per kilowatt-hour or therm of natural gas equal more absolute profit.

There are public sector unions—perhaps the most powerful special interest in the state—committed to the growth of government because it grows their membership dues. And the worse things get in California, the more unionized government employees are necessary to deal with crime, the homeless, and poverty. Societal failure is public sector success.

Not least, of course, are the tech billionaires, who to date have used their personal wealth and the unprecedented influence of their companies to manipulate state and national politics according to their agenda. As described, that agenda checks all the rhetorical boxes but obscures raw ambition. History provides no comparable example of wealth and power this concentrated, and they want more.

In every sphere, creating scarcity and shortages enriches the elites in California. Setting land aside to be preserved as “open space,” cordoning off urban areas and preventing expansion, is a perfect way to ensure that real estate investment portfolios—often held by huge hedge funds and public employee pension funds—continue to appreciate. And as ordinary Californians are priced out of owning homes, investment banks gobble up the inventory and rent the properties back to the plebes.

This is what Gavin Newsom offers America.

This is the scam—the historic, tragic, malevolent agenda that Newsom and the people he represents have resolved to inflict on the world.

The alternative is not a mystery. Spend government money on practical infrastructure that yields long-term benefits instead of squandering hundreds of billions on absurd make-work projects like high-speed rail and floating offshore wind, which will be permanent drains on the economy. While recognizing reasonable environmental concerns, deregulate energy, mining, timber, water, transportation and housing so millions of Californians can be employed in high-paying jobs instead of collecting government benefits. And most of all, by restoring competition in all sectors of California’s economy, we can lower the cost of living.

Gavin Newsom is smart enough to know this solution would work. But the people who donate to his campaigns, and who donate to the campaigns of the supermajority of progressives who are party to the same fraud, have no intention of ever permitting this solution to again become reality. That is why Newsom—and any politician like Newsom—can never be allowed to become U.S. president.

Joe Biden's Cognitive Issues Are Destined for the Memory Hole

Joe Biden's Cognitive Issues Are Destined for the Memory Hole

            https://realclearwire.com/articles/2024/07/09/joe_bidens_cognitive_issues_are_destined_for_the_memory_hole__151224.html
,

There will be no reckoning among Democrats and their media lapdogs regarding their years-long effort to hide President Biden’s mental decline. No one will lose their job, precisely because they were doing their job – spinning false narratives to keep the left in power.

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/biden%20smile%203_0.JPG?itok=eioRLyxy

And, let there be no doubt, they will keep doing it. The current focus on Biden’s unfitness will last only until Democrats determine whether or not they can force him out. That effort won’t be easy. Biden is an empty suit with a boundless ego – he truly believes he is a modern-day FDR. Withdrawing because you’re not “all there” would be deeply humiliating.

If it becomes clear Joe won’t go, the party and its propaganda outlets will quickly pivot. Discussions of his physical and mental capacities will be shoved down the memory hole. His continuing gaffes and incoherence will be largely ignored, cast as boring facts that are already “baked in the cake”: Voters know about his limits so what’s the point of harping on them? Late night comics such as Steven Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel will probably try to make his ramblings kind of lovable – Joe says the darndest things. If Biden bows out, his replacement will be cast as the second coming of well, Jesus Christ, offering a path to salvation for an imperiled land.

Whether the candidate is Joe Biden or someone else, the goal will be to make the Democrat standard-bearer disappear from the race. When he or she is mentioned at all, it will be to cast the Biden administration’s unpopular record as one of high achievement. Look at all that the president and the Democrats have accomplished for the American people.

News coverage, instead, will seek to make the contest about Donald Trump’s fitness for office. Policy differences not involving abortion will be buried in the avalanche of personal attacks. New York Times White House correspondent https://x.com/peterbakernyt/status/1809206976137621999
 last Friday when he wrote:

One party has a candidate who is really old and showing it. The other has a candidate who is a convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, business fraudster and self-described aspiring dictator for a day. And also really old. One party wants to replace its candidate. The other does not.

That same day, https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/brooks-and-atkins-stohr-on-bidens-vow-to-stay-in-the-race-for-the-white-house
 characterized Trump as “an antidemocratic candidate with authoritarian tendencies, who is now newly empowered by that Supreme Court immunity ruling.”

With all her signature nuance, https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/07/05/joy_reid_i_would_vote_for_biden_in_a_coma_to_keep_hitler_outta_the_white_house.html
 succinctly expressed the establishment mindset going forward: “If it’s Biden in a coma, I’m going to vote for Biden in a coma … to keep Hitler out of the White House.”

Even as Biden’s behavior suggests Reid is close to getting her wish, the next four months will be filled with fan-flaming screeds about fascism, Christian nationalism, white supremacy, Jan. 6, and dubious felony convictions. Trump’s hyperbole will be cast as despicable lies while the press ignores Biden’s insistence on repeating long-debunked talking points. Note that Biden’s https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/27/politics/read-biden-trump-debate-rush-transcript/index.html
 branded Trump a liar for correcting Biden about this.

In fairness, we’ve heard this all before – and Trump is still leading the race. The attacks on him have been so vicious and unhinged for so long that it is easy to overlook the truly astounding fact that the man is still standing. Part of this is due to his remarkable toughness; part is due to the out-of-touch incompetence of his foes. They still don’t see that they have overplayed their hand, offering risible caricatures instead of critiques.

Democrats and their propaganda outlets still have power within their own liberal echo chambers, but they can no longer have the trust of the broader public. Most Americans dismiss their bogus narratives, including their longstanding insistence that Biden was at the top of his game. No one can be surprised by his cognitive issues, especially those in government and the media who have observed him up close for years. After interviewing him for a few hours nine months ago, Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded the president was an “elderly man with a poor memory.” The debate simply forced the media to acknowledge what most Americans could see at a greater distance.

It is a sign of the establishment’s cynicism that their only concern is that Biden might not have the capacity to run a winning campaign, not that he is probably unfit to execute the far more demanding and consequential duties of commander in chief.

The real mystery going forward: What other tricks do Democrats and the establishment media have up their sleeves to turn things around? Having already thrown the kitchen sink at Trump, it is hard to imagine that some new narrative about his evil nature will sway undecided voters.

Things could get very dark if they double down on lawfare – don’t be surprised if the Biden-donor judge in New York sentences Trump to jail in the Stormy Daniels case, or if state courts change how and when people can vote.

The pivot is coming and its intent will be clear: to help the Democrats win by any means necessary. Fortunately, we still live in a democracy and the people, not the power brokers, will have the final say.

The War On Free Speech: Biden Adds Another Advocate For Censorship To White House

The War On Free Speech: Biden Adds Another Advocate For Censorship To White House

            https://jonathanturley.org/2024/07/10/the-war-on-free-speech-biden-adds-another-advocate-for-censorship-to-the-white-house/

I have previously written how President Joe Biden is the most anti-free speech president since John Adams. For his part, Biden has continued to double down on his anti-free speech policies with the appointment of figures who have long supported bans and other speech controls. The latest such appointment is Andy Volosky, who was https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-white-house-digital-staffer-cheered-social-media-ban-trump
.

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/10-02-2023-Commentary-scientific.jpg?itok=GmqJs6i-

Volosky has been outspoken in support of banning former president Donald Trump from social media platforms.

In my new book, https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1668047047?tag=simonsayscom
 when Jefferson ran in part on restoring free speech. To my surprise, Trump and his fellow challengers in this election have not made free speech a central issue to force Biden to defend the massive censorship system supported by his Administration.

The public does not support censorship.

This is a movement that originated in higher education and has been pushed by the political and media establishment, not the voters.

Volosky will now help direct digital strategies for the White House.

He previously praised the banning of Trump, asking “What took them so long?” in a 2021 blog post.

In Volosky’s blog post, titled “A New, and Hopefully Welcome, Standard,” he warned that:

“Twitter still allows the accounts of various world leaders, governments, and spokespeople, who use Twitter for what one can only describe as propaganda as cover for autocracy, to continue to use their platform.”

He praised how Democrats have “long advocated for regulating the [social media] platforms” and emphasized how active social media users like himself and others can “keep the platforms honest.”

He added that

“we can play a role in keeping the platforms honest and improving the positive role of social in people’s lives…It’s past time for the platforms to take content moderation and user safety seriously; as social media professionals, we should be ready and eager to make that happen, and we hope that [banning Trump] can be a small step in getting that ball rolling.”

Again, with the White House doubling down on censorship, Trump and others need to force him to defend his overwhelmingly anti-free speech record.

Closing Primal, and then opening Damus.


That happens.


Continue with ways to streamline the onboarding process of Noobs like me, so that everyone can be on Bitcoin. Also, there will be a need to accommodate people with no internet use ( Amish, off grid, homeless, etc ) to use/exchange bitcoin for goods and services.
Encourage govt agencies ( BMV, Child Support ) to accept BTC payments.

Question for nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 users. Does Strike or River have NWC capabilities currently? I thought I read they do but I am unable to connect my strike wallet to Nostr under settings / Wallets.   It looks like alby wallet is the only one that shows.   Copy paste doesn’t work


Is it Android only?


Still learning here. How can I comment on Damus?  I can see how to do it on Primal, but don’t see an option on Damus.  Thank you!


I’ve found this to be true, and I’m not stopping until I have a PhD in BTC.

Good job!  A little context would help, though, as a part time runner. How long since HS?


Thank you!  I thought Lightning was just for BTC, and not cash.


I doubt Mrs Clinton will like that scenario.


I’m still a Noob here, just three months into Bitcoin.  I’m still learning what works best for me, and see that Strike now has fee free DCA. I’ll switch my direct deposit to it, but for now I’d like to transfer cash from CashApp to strike.  Suggestions?

Thanks!


Loved that show


After last night’s debate.

Who’s actually leading the US government?


The most powerful thing about an npub is its independent existence. It exists independently of client, platform, and most importantly, independently of any legal enforcement system.

That means, with my npub, I can seamlessly transition between clients and platforms which I actively do with iOS, Android, Ubuntu, macOS and with the clients: Amethyst, Primal and Damus.

I know of no other network where this can be done. Power is completely vested in me via my npub.

The other thing I have been experimenting with is Pay-to-Npub (#P2NPUB) where any npub can immediately receive payment via Lightning and received as ecash.

Stepping back, I realize these are the properties that are going to make #nostr win in the long run - independent existence and the ability to receive payments.

The reason govts are pushing for a CBDC, digital ID, & vax pass, is because they will enable systematic destruction of our rights to privacy, due process, assembly, free speech, & property.

Too early for me to be able to say what is under/over rated, but, I’m here to scan the comments and see what I need to look at.


Except, perhaps, to politicians who have embraced bitcoin as I have.


Looking for genuine answers:  I’m still new on my Bitcoin journey and am learning.  I’ve recently downloaded and synced my own node and I see that it contains its own wallet.
I’ve seen numerous recommendations for various wallets, but don’t remember anyone recommending Bitcoin Core Wallet. If it is not secure, or is out of favor, why is it still included?


Thank you!  I also listen to THE Bitcoin Podcast and the Rollo and Slappy show. But, only mention it, not begging for sats

Almost all of what we do on the internet (and as a species, for that matter) boils down to communication and commerce. #Nostr and #Bitcoin are a step-function change from how either was done in the past, as long as we build and design the tools to have them exist and survive outside of the systems we've been confined to.

Big release for #COLDCARD Mk4 & Q 🔥

Now both share the same codebase!

## Q Specific Changes - 1.2.0Q - 2024-05-06

-Allow export of multisig XPUBs via #BBQr
-Import multisig via QR/BBQr - both legacy COLDCARD export and descriptors supported
-UI Status bar text is sharper now
-Added ability to write signed PSBT/txn to lower (B) SD slot when both cards inserted
-Fullscreen display of v23 and v24 QRs were too dense and hard to read
-Battery idle timeout also considers last progress bar update
-Allow Send Password (keystrokes) of capital letters of alphabet
-Pressing SYM+SHIFT was toggling CAPS continuously. Now toggles once only
-Restrict keys that can be pressed during seed entry after final word inserted

## Mk4 Specific Changes - 5.3.0 - 2024-05-06

-When providing 12 or 18 word seed phrase, valid final word choices are presented in a new menu.
-Move dice rolls (for generating master seed) to Advanced submenu.
-Using "Verify Address" in NFC Tools menu, allows entry of a payment address and reports if it is part of a wallet this Coldcard knows the key for. Includes Multisig and single sig wallets.searches up to the first 1528 addresses (external and change addresses)
stores data as it goes to accelerate future uses
worst case, it can take up to 2 minutes to rule out an address, but after that it is fast!
-Constant AFC_BECH32M incorrectly set AFC_WRAPPED and AFC_BECH32.
-Fix inability to activate Duress Wallet as temporary seed when master seed is 12 words.
-Yikes when using BIP39 passphrase with temporary seed without master seed set.
-v1 and v2 QRs too small and not readable (fixed)
Bugfix: Show indexes for full range of addresses we are able to generate during QR display.
-Force default HW settings (USB,NFC,VDisk OFF) after clone/backup is restored.
-Cleanup in NFC code: repeated messages, "Unable to find data expectd in NDEF", removed.
Bootrom version bump: 3.2.0 released with no functional changes except those shared with Q.

## Q & Mk4 shared:

-Add
@nunchuk_io
 and
@ZeusLN
 options to Export Wallet
-View Identity shows temporary seed active at the top
-Can specify start index for address explorer export and browsing
-Allow unlimited index for BIP-85 derivations. Must be enabled first in Danger Zone
-Passphrase menu item is no longer offered if BIP39 passphrase already in use. Use Restore Master with ability to keep or purge current passphrase wallet settings.
-Removed ability to add passphrase to master seed if active temporary seed.
-Wipe LFS during Lock Down Seed and Destroy Seed
-Do not allow non-ascii or ascii non-printable characters in multisig wallet name
-Brick Me option for If Wrong PIN caused yikes.
-Properly handle and finalize framing error response in USB protocol.
-Handle ZeroSecretException for BIP39 passphrase calculation when on temporary seed without master secret
-Saving passphrase on SD Card caused a freeze that required reboot
-Properly verify signed armored message with regtest address
-Create ownership file when generating addresses export CSV
-Recovery SD Card image building moved into its own repo: github com/Coldcard/recovery-images

Good evening!  I’ve downloaded Bitcoin Core, v 27.0, and now it’s taking a very, very, very long time to sync.

Normal?


Good morning!  Looking for help/advice.
Installed new 1TB HD and 8 GB RAM on older laptop.
Installed Linux and Bitcoin Core.  Have fiber internet connection.
Sync works ok, goes slow, but then stops/ crashes. Is this normal ?

What, not hat.    So, yes, tequila.


Eating leftover brisket; syncing on Bitcoin Core to run my node; enjoying tequila shots (Prairie Fire - 1800 with Tabasco )    And hat better way to spend a Friday evening?
