Obesity is reversible with a Proper Human Diet, and here's the key difference between a PHD and other diets, you get to eat until you're full.

The Trump administration has suspended all immigration applications from nationals of the 19 countries placed under travel restrictions earlier this year, effectively freezing green card and U.S. citizenship processing for large groups of people, officials say.

Admiral Frank M. Bradley, Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), will deliver a classified briefing tomorrow to Democratic and Republican leaders on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees regarding the controversial “double-tap” strike on a suspected narco-terrorist vessel in the southern Caribbean on September 2. Both Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the White House have said the operation was ordered by Bradley, who at the time was serving as Commander of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), according to Punchbowl News.

The American-Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) has ~100,000 members.

Despite appeals from senior officials in both Israel and the United States — including a direct request from U.S. President Donald J. Trump — Polymarket bettors remain doubtful that Israeli President Isaac Herzog will grant Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a pardon anytime soon. The market currently gives just a 28% chance that a pardon will be issued before the end of February.

In the past 24 hours, Netanyahu formally requested a pardon for the first time, submitting a public letter to Herzog addressing three separate investigations involving bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described today’s peace negotiations in Miami between American and Ukrainian officials as “quite productive,” noting that progress was made toward a potential settlement. However, he cautioned that “we still have work to do,” emphasizing that Russia remains the other crucial party in the process.

This was the first meeting since the forced resignation of Andriy Yermak — formerly Ukraine’s chief presidential adviser and primary negotiator with the United States — after corruption allegations within the Ukrainian government. In his place, the Ukrainian delegation was headed by Rustem Umerov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council. The team also included:

• Olga Stefanishyna, Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States

• Oleg Ivashchenko, Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine

• Andrii Hnatov, Chief of the General Staff of Ukraine

• Vadym Skibitskyi, Deputy Chief of Defense Intelligence

• Sergiy Kyslytsia, First Deputy Foreign Minister

• Oleksandr Bevz, Adviser to the Presidential Office

Representing the United States were Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law.

It's always darkest before dawn 🌅

That's measuring from an ATH to a dip. It doesn't mean it won't go up again. Dollars won't. It's still scarce, still movable, still able to be held in self-custody.

Store of value isn't just about exchange rate or purchasing power on a given day. It's also about funds you can hold and move without permission, without widespread or targeted confiscation at the flip of a switch.

I'm sure you know all that. But my message to newbies isn't much about NGU. That's just a bonus. It's about sound money, even if that's a harder concept to get across. It's not a stock. It's money. I tell them I'd be happy to see it plummet, so we can buy more.

But, you make a good point. If all we're sharing is that it always goes up, they'll be unprepared when it doesn't.

🚨SOLO BLOCK FOUND!

A home miner with only ~6.73TH/s of total hashrate just mined a block for 3.146 BTC totaling $264,558.

The device that found the block has only 1.2TH/s indicating that it’s a Bitaxe Gamma. 🚀

Bitcoin price action sucks, if we dont get a good move up or we go into a bear market in 2026 it would be disgusting, rather own MAG7

winter is here

Cheap sats for anyone who wants them! Great time to be getting started!

Don’t get your panties in a knot. 🪢 I don’t believe our government cares for our populous as a whole. It’s broken, obviously 🙄

I know we go to war with the people we were given. If YOU have given up completely… fine. No apologies from me for trying to document #history #herstory & dealing with things YOU have given up on entirely. It’s much easier to ignore it all & opt out. Cheers 📣

The amount of lies the Republicans tell and they have the audacity to give Rep. Crockett sass 💁🏻‍♀️

What’s good for the goose is good …

Bottom line: #GetSum

Here we go…..

So when you say paper bitcoin, do you mean entities like Blackrock and ETF issuers selling shares that may not be backed by bitcoin? Essentially "satisfying" demand without any actual supply being taken up??

As always Monero provides the answer the Bitcoiner is seeking. It's far from being perfect. We know that. But many things are not possoble with Monero or much harder to achieve e.g. censoring the chain. There are not just 2-3 ASIC producers but widely accessible and distributed CPUs. Monero is mined via P2P pool, via botnets (that try to hide instead of complying with states), by adversaries that try to get an edge over the network and a few bigger "home" miners. It's attack surface is much smaller. And last but not least, Monero is not depended on CEX, no one needs insurance for a home miner setup.

I'd say the dependence on CEX and the control of big miner plants are both easy attack vectors.

Yes Bitcoin hashrate is meaningless. it's only not fully attacked because US aligned its interests behind BTC/Tether vs Monero.

How crazy is it that "Bitcoin maximalists" care about this guy's opinion at all?

Scott Bessent was a partner at Soros Fund Management for most of his career (1991-2000 and again 2011-2015).

Bessent was instrumental in significant financial strategies, including a major profit during the British Pound crisis in 1992.

In 2011, he returned to Soros Fund Management, where he managed billions in assets and made a notable bet against the Japanese yen, yielding substantial profits.

Bessent chaired the investment committee and is a former member of the executive committee on the board of trustees of Rockefeller University.

Bessent is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Bessent has participated in Dialog, a secretive, invitation-only social club founded by Peter Thiel and Auren Hoffman. He is also a member of the Economic Club of New York.

As of December 28, 2024, Bessent's net worth was at least $521 million according to his financial assets disclosure by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics; his actual net worth is speculated to be around $600 million.

So, tell me, Bitcoin maximalists, do you think this guy really wants what's best for Bitcoin? 😂

It's like the Bitcoin maximalist who was calling out Jamie Dimon for being Epstein's banker and then started a company with Epstein's neighbor (Howard Lutnick).

If you blindly follow influencers, it might turn out that they don't have your best interest at heart. The only solution is to do your own research.

I saw an awful lot of not-talking-about-9/11 today.

Not that Kirk doesn't deserve all of this, just sayin'.

knots will too, and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it. The knots people sure want to make this a hot button issue eh? Then ya’ll are becoming a serious threat to bitcoin. How about shut the fuck up?

He called himself a “Bitcoin Maxi” 👀

Strike is a great great tool. Just promise that if the government goes rouge you won’t provide detailed information of your bitcoiner clients/users. 😆😆😆
