Is Apple About To Announce A $5 Billion Bitcoin Purchase? One Bank Thinks So

Over a month ago, we correctly predicted today’s “shock” announcement by Tesla, in which Elon Musk’s company decided to pivot once again, this time into the word of cryptocurrencies, by purchasing $1.5 billion in bitcoin (an amount which will give it tremendous leeway in non-GAAP financial when accounting for XBT Mark-to-Market moves, giving it even more buffer to beat estimates).

H.R. 127: A New Bill In Congress Would Literally End Your 2nd Amendment Rights Permanently

If a new bill that has been introduced in Congress eventually becomes law, the 2nd Amendment will still be in the U.S. Constitution, but for all practical purposes the rights that it is supposed to guarantee will be dead and gone. H.R. 127 was submitted on January 4th, and if you have not read it yet you can find the full text right here. It contains a lot of technical language, and so in this article I am going to try to break down what it means very simply. Now that the Democrats control the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, there is going to be a major push to ram through some form of gun control legislation. If it is not this bill, it will be another one, so we need to be diligent.

These Are The Shadowy New York Financial Institutions That Forced Robinhood To Restrict Trading In Certain Stocks

Have you ever heard of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation? What about Cede and Company? If those names are foreign to you, then you don’t really understand how the core of our financial system really works. A lot of people are blaming Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and the heads of other major trading platforms for the stock trading restrictions that we witnessed last week, but it was actually the DTCC that suddenly jacked up deposit requirements ten-fold. Robinhood and other trading platforms were put in a vise-like grip, and they had no choice but to act. Someone needs to investigate how these decisions were made at the DTCC, and if laws were broken those that were responsible for the decisions need to go to prison.

Cop Arrested For Faking Drive-by Shooting on Himself, Triggering Massive Manhunt

Clara County, CA — Any time a police officer is shot in the United States it is a national story as the union reps take to their pulpits to tell us all how dangerous a police officer’s job is and that there is a ‘war on cops.’ Though it is certainly tragic when a police officer is shot, the reality is that it doesn’t happen very often at all and being a police officer isn’t even in the top 20 most dangerous jobs. What’s more, as the following case illustrates, many of these cops fake the attacks on themselves.
