Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell may have intentionally sabotaged the Trump economic boom.

The O’Keefe Media Group recently released an undercover video where a lead economist for the Federal Reserve confessed to Powell’s alleged motive. According to this economist, Powell was not only a Trump-hater but also had a personal agenda of being remembered in history for undermining President Donald Trump by raising rates prematurely.

This revelation has sparked outrage among Trump supporters who have long believed that the economy could have reached even greater heights if it wasn’t for the actions of the Federal Reserve. Many argue that Powell’s decision to raise rates too soon stifled economic growth and hindered the progress made during the Trump administration.

The role of the Federal Reserve in shaping the economy is crucial, and any deliberate attempt to manipulate it for personal or political gain is highly unethical. This revelation raises serious questions about the integrity and impartiality of Jerome Powell as the head of the Federal Reserve. It also highlights the need for transparency and accountability within such influential institutions.

It is essential that any decisions made by the Federal Reserve or any other governing body are based on sound economic principles rather than personal biases or political agendas. The American people deserve an economy that is driven by objective analysis and informed decision-making rather than partisan interests. In 2018, as the DOW continued to reach all-time highs, consumer confidence hit all-time highs, and unemployment hit its lowest rate in 50 years under President Trump.

hi allie! is it true that Rob Stringer is involved in sabotaging Louis’ career? I’ve seen a lot of people use that argument to dismiss that H and L are still together (because H is still under Sony and has a good relationship with Stringer)

Hi, anon. This isn’t directed at you personally, so I apologize if it comes off harsh, but wow… what an idiotic and oversimplified way to look at things. This is honestly one of the dumbest discussions I see these days because:

1. Why do people feel the need to “prove” whether they broke up or not? Like, does it actually change anything? If they’re not together anymore, so what? Larries originally existed to support them and their situation of being closeted, not to argue over whether they’d spend their entire lives together. People trying to prove whether they’re together or not are honestly worse than antis.

2. People think SO LOW of Louis. It’s like they see him as some struggling indie artist left on the sidewalk to starve, desperately in need of saving. Like WTF, honestly?!

Louis is doing so great, lately. Don’t get me wrong… I 100% believe he was sabotaged and blacklisted. I think he had it particularly rough both in the band and early in his solo career. That whole label situation under Syco felt like a way to keep him under their control while also keeping tabs on Harry. I fully believe they both pissed off a lot of powerful people by making certain choices, and Louis probably had it worse in terms of promo and industry support.

But honestly? He’s in a great place now. So why do people assume he needs saving? Why would he be anywhere else if not for Harry’s help? And why would that even be Harry’s responsibility? Louis knows plenty of people in the industry, too. How do people even know what’s gone on behind the scenes? Maybe Harry did help him. Maybe Louis doesn’t want or need help. Would they need to be married to help each other? Harry could be helping any of his ex-band mates if people want to have this sort of discussion. Maybe Harry doesn’t even have the kind of influence over Rob Stringer that people assume he does.

It’s just a ridiculous discussion built on layers of baseless assumptions for… what? Why?

Soil & Silence

“If God’s the game that you’re playing Well, we must get more acquainted Because it has to be so lonely To be the only one who’s holy It’s just my humble opinion But it’s one that I believe in You don’t deserve a point of view If the only thing you see is you”

〰〰〰 I came with warmth, I came with grace, I met your silence face to face. I gave you light, I gave you ground, while you let shadows wrap us ’round.

I poured my care into this soil, but love can’t grow beneath the spoil. You say you want to see where this might go, but hold me back with things you won’t let go.

You speak in thorns, but bloom in lies, then wonder why the garden dies. You look at me like I’m to blame, but you forget—we named this flame.

You whispered doubt, then watched me break, then fed the roots with what you fake. You can’t destroy it in the dark, and still expect I feed the spark.

I can’t keep tending to a lie, pretending we still qualify. As something honest, something whole, when I’m the only one on patrol.

So no, I won’t keep watering pain, while you bring storms but dodge the rain. You say you care, but blur the lines, this isn’t growth. It’s slow decline. 〰〰〰

I’ve been patient, but now I see you clearly. You don’t get to judge me while hiding your own sins. You’re not God. You’re just pretending. And I won’t keep watering something you’ve been poisoning behind my back.

Season Four Was Doomed.

It was done and over as soon as "Just Dunk Me" and "Don't Get Eaten" faded out and tossed into the garbage like so much spoiled fish. When they ended so did any hopes the show would pull out of the death spiral Laura Neal and her writers put it into.

The first two episodes were big flashing red lights of impending suck. I didn't recognize the characters. I mean, I knew it was Sandra and Jodie and Fiona, but I didn't recognize who the hell they were supposed to BE. Nobody was acting the way their characters had acted for the past three seasons.

The first two episodes were the worst of Killing Eve's entire run. I'd like to delete both of them and get a do-over. How in the hell does any writer just drop the audience into a story seven months from where the previous season ended and later say, "I like not knowing what happened" the way Laura Neal did.

Laura Neal, you are the head writer of the show! If YOU don't know what happened between Eve and Villanelle WHO THE FUCK DOES? 🥺

Start off wrong and it is tough to get right. The season didn't find its legs until the fifth or sixth episode or so, but by then it was far too little, way too late.

The way Neal refused to provide any explanation of what happened between Eve and Villanelle between where we left them on the bridge and all this ugliness from Eve toward Villanelle months later is inexplicable. It's like a master class in what not to do with an audience that has been waiting nearly two years to find out what comes next.

Neal seemed both oblivious as to following up on and filling in the blanks for an episode she co-wrote to end Season 3 and contemptuous of the audience's need--not want--to know.

Neal figured she'd put Eve on a Ducati and forget that we've never seen her on a motorcycle, give her a big-ass gun, and let her drive into Russia to hunt down Konstantin. Plunk Villanelle down in a church somewhere and make her so desperate for "redemption" that she is going to start having hallucinations that she sees herself as Jesus. Oh, and if triggering the Catholics isn't enough, let's have Villanelle kill a cat and piss off the PETA crowd too!

I don't know what sort of heavy-duty drugs you have to be on to think any of that b.s. was brilliant, but I would love to have been around Sandra and Jodie when they got their scripts. They have to had called each other up and said, "Can you believe this shit?"

I think they should call it self-bamboozled, because that’s more accurate to what it feels like. Sabotage implies some carefully crafted master plan, where as bamboozled implies something being bungled, or mishandled haphazardly. Self-Bamboozling. Self-Bamboozled. Bamboozle.
