Trump Nominates Gold Standard Supporter To Federal Reserve Board

   On July 2nd, President Trump nominated Judy Shelton to fill one of the two open positions on the Federal Reserve board.

   Judy Shelton currently has the position of U.S. Executive Director of European Bank of Reconstruction & Development. According to multiple sources, Shelton is a strong supporter of the gold standard and has heavily criticized the Federal Reserve. It was noted that in a 2018 piece published by the Cato Institute regarding cryptocurrency she wrote,

   “If the appeal of cryptocurrencies is their capacity to provide a common currency, and to maintain a uniform value for every issued unit, we need only consult historical experience to ascertain that these same qualities were achieved through the classical international gold standard,”

Shelton also stated,

    “In proposing a new international monetary system linked in some way to gold, America has an opportunity to secure continued prominence in global monetary affairs.”
   According to The New American, Shelton would prefer to see the Fed’s interests rates cut to nearly zero. She has also claimed that the Federal Reserve is partly to blame for the 2008 economic crash. In a Wall Street Journal opinion piece she stated,

    “No other government institution had more influence over the creation of money and credit in the lead-up to the devastating 2008 global meltdown,”
   In the same piece she also wrote,

    “And the Fed's response to the meltdown may have exacerbated the damage by lowering the incentive for banks to fund private-sector growth."
   Most mainstream economists postulate that a move to the gold standard is less possible now than previous times in our history that it has been installed. University of Chicago economist Anil Kashyap said,

    “A gold standard regime would be a disaster for any large advanced economy,"
   Hopefully third time is a charm for the Trump Administration. The previous two candidates President Trump nominated were supporters of the gold standard, but ultimately were withdrawn as candidates due to lack of Senate support. Time will tell if this pick pans out well for Trump and more importantly the people of the United States.

Epstein Trial Set for Next June - "Over 1 Million Documents in Evidence"; Possible Suicide Attempt and Other Updates U.S. District Judge Richard Berman tentatively set the date for June 8th, but may revisit the subject at a later time. This comes a week after Epstein allegedly attempted suicide, although some sources say it may have been an attempt by Epstein to get a transfer to another facility, others say it may have been an assault on Epstein. The judge has denied bail and is also not allowing Epstein to remain under house arrest at his 77 million dollar NYC apartment, even though Epstein offered to pay for the security to keep him there, due to a recent ruling . More recently, information has been coming out regarding Epstein's apparent fascination with transhumanism, or as is cited, a desire to "seed" many women with his DNA and the DNA of Nobel laureates to 'strengthen the human gene pool.' As well, we are hearing more about his ch

A new ruling has come into play by U.S. Attorney General William Barr, which is anticipated to prevent tens of thousands of migrants from seeking asylum under the justification of family ties. Barr is now saying that it is not enough to qualify for asylum if you are simply a family member of someone being targeted by gangs.   The case highlighted on Monday by the Justice Department is known as Matter L-E-A and is reportedly about the son of a man “who owned a store targeted by a local drug cartel.” The son, who is a Mexican citizen, entered the US illegally seeking asylum twice. His last entrance was in 2011. Barr ended up overturning the asylum decision made by the Board of Immigration Appeals stating the board had “improperly recognized” the father’s immediate family member as a “ particular social group.” Barr’s argument was that “virtually every alien” would be able to claim asylum under those terms and in conclusion he stated, “ While the Board has recognized certain

Yesterday, Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint to the U.S. House of Representatives Office of Congressional Ethics chairman David Skaggs, asking for a full investigation into potential crimes linked to allegations that Ilhan Omar(D-MN) may have married her brother. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated. "The evidence is overwhelming Rep. Omar may have violated the law and House rules. The House of Representatives must urgently investigate and resolve the serious allegations of wrongdoing by Rep. Omar. We encourage Americans to share their views on Rep. Omar's apparent misconduct with their congressmen." Judicial Watch based their complaint on the reporting of David Steinberg. Steinberg's investigation took over three years and took him abroad into the United Kingdom. Throughout the investigation Steinberg and his investigative colleges gathered information from many different sources. Among those sources were: public records, social media posts,
