ArticWolf say they have observed Akira ransomware incidents gaining access via fully patched SonicWall SSL VPN boxes with accounts with MFA enabled, speculate they have another zero day.
Huntress also believe a zero day is likely being exploited by Akira ransomware group in SonicWall firewalls. huntress.com/blog/exploitation…
To add my own analysis, I track Akira ransomware victims not just by their portal but via uploaded payloads - there’s been a significant uptick, and those victims largely use SonicWall. I think orgs probably want to urgently transition away from SonicWall SSL VPN to a different product (I know this is easier said than done).
A likely zero-day vulnerability in SonicWall VPNs is being actively exploited to bypass MFA and deploy ransomware. Huntress advises disabling the VPN service immediately or severely restricting access via IP allow-listing.
There continues to be an evolution where ransomware groups have better technical exploitation capability than nation states, because victims are giving them R&D budgets of hundreds of millions of dollars.
It’s also super depressing as governments worldwide continue to put their heads in the sand rather than tackle the problem head on, and the security industry love it as it keeps their line going up as the industry is based on failure as a business model.
and the silliest part of all is that financial law enforcement is typically one of the most capable branches that the state has, so it's not like they're lacking the tools.
I'm just glad that even though a large part of the tech world has seemingly jumped head first into the AI bubble, these groups have found a sustainable business model that works for them and does not rely on VC funding. Do you know if they're hiring?
The funny thing about these appliances is that if all of the vendors just chipped in they could make perfect firmware and probably just share cost on most of these service components instead of each of them making the same mistakes but in different timeframes.
been waiting all day for something from Sonicwall, and just before they sent the advisory we had decided not to risk it and implemented an allow list of user IPs.
has anyone confirmed that it's ONLY gen7? The Sonicwall bulletin says Gen7, but I haven't seen any evidence corroborating that that's the only affected series. Gen6 has support through April 2026, but I feel like Sonicwall is selectively not mentioning them.
If this guidance wasn't followed; expect to be found on the Akira site soon. They're still launching attacks using this vector to great success, on their part, both widescale encryption and data exil being recorded.
By "tackling the problem head on" you undoubtedly mean disrupting the ransomware groups and arresting their members, yes? Certainly not blaming the victims by making illegal the only means they often have to recover, yes?
@cR0w yeah Huntress initially said SMA as well but retracted that. However, SonicWall is stating that the SMA is getting an accelerated EOS as of 12/31/2025 but their support matrix site still says 10/2027. Gonna have a lot of exploitable systems in 2026, it seems. Yayyyy

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our ser vices are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the enti re network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. Ther e are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s prim ary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another i nstance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com Nextcloud If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. We now have this site also properly federated so any images you share can be viewed on any other Fediverse site by users who follow you, and you can view images posted by anyone on any fediverse site whom you follow.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
"We affirm that stopping the war of genocide and starvation against our people in Gaza is a humanitarian and moral duty that cannot be postponed or bartered. It must be done immediately without linking it to any political files, such as our people’s right to their state or the resolution of the prisoner issue, as our people cannot be bargained with over their right to life" Read the full statement here
Statement Issued by the Palestinian Factions Regarding the New York Declaration
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The Palestinian factions have followed with interest the proceedings of the high-level United Nations international conference, which recently concluded in New York. This conference came at a dangerous and sensitive stage in the history of our people, as the zionist occupation continues to commit a war of genocide against our people and our families in the Gaza Strip, and practices one of the most heinous starvation campaigns in human history, at a time when the International Criminal Court is demanding the appearance of its leaders for accountability and trial, amid complete international silence.
The conference, and the resulting political declaration, carried important implications related to the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent and fully sovereign state.
In the context of a careful reading of the declaration, we affirm the following:
• We salute the legendary steadfastness of our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, who are facing with patience and perseverance one of the most heinous wars of the modern era, the war of genocide and systematic starvation waged relentlessly by the zionist occupation. This great steadfastness, in the face of the machinery of death and destruction, constitutes the fundamental pillar that has thwarted the objectives of the aggression and consolidated our people’s right to life and resistance. We also commend the heroic role played by the resistance in defending our people and strengthening their national will in the midst of an asymmetric war and catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
• Any international effort to support our Palestinian people and their legitimate rights is appreciated and welcomed, and is a natural fruit of the sacrifices and steadfastness of our people over 77 years since the Nakba. It is a direct result of the broadening circle of international solidarity with our people caused by the destructive zionist war, and the resulting increased pressure on the international community. In this context, our people demand unconditional international recognition of their independent state and their inalienable national rights, as a political entitlement and historical justice that cannot be negotiated or postponed.
• The path to a solution begins first with stopping this fascist aggression against our people, and halting the crime of genocide and the policy of systematic starvation practiced by the occupation forces. Accordingly, the Palestinian resistance affirms its readiness to resolve the issue of the prisoners it holds within the context of an agreement for a ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, the opening of the crossings, and the immediate start of reconstruction. The factions also stress the necessity of moving towards a serious political track, under international and Arab sponsorship, that leads to ending the occupation and achieving our people’s aspirations for the establishment of their independent and fully sovereign state, with Al-Quds as its capital.
• We affirm that stopping the war of genocide and starvation against our people in Gaza is a humanitarian and moral duty that cannot be postponed or bartered. It must be done immediately without linking it to any political files, such as our people’s right to their state or the resolution of the prisoner issue, as our people cannot be bargained with over their right to life.
• The zionist occupation is the main source of terrorism and instability in the region, and the genocide and systematic starvation it is committing in the Gaza Strip confirm its criminal nature. Accordingly, the Palestinian resistance in all its forms is a natural and legitimate reaction to this occupation, and it is an inherent right guaranteed by international laws and divine ordinances, and affirmed by international institutions and bodies that have witnessed the crimes committed against our people. This resistance will not stop until the occupation is gone, and our people’s goals of liberation, the return of refugees, and the establishment of their independent and fully sovereign state with Al-Quds as its capital are achieved, as the weapon of the resistance is fundamentally linked to this just national project. • The Palestinian scene is an internal affair for our people at home and in the diaspora. On this basis, we call for the implementation of the previous national agreements signed in Cairo, Algiers, Moscow, and Beijing, all of which emphasized the necessity of rearranging the Palestinian house, including reforming the Palestine Liberation Organization in a way that enhances its legal and representative status for all Palestinians, alongside holding presidential, legislative, and national council elections at home and abroad, on national and democratic foundations, and without any preconditions. In this context, we affirm that the day after the end of the zionist aggression is a quintessentially Palestinian day, in which all the efforts of our people’s components—national, political, and popular—must be combined, side by side with the efforts of building and reconstruction, to restore our national unity and establish a true partnership worthy of the sacrifices and legendary steadfastness of our people.
• Talk of integrating the zionist entity into the region is a reward to the enemy for its crimes, and a desperate attempt to prolong its existence on our stolen land. Recent developments, especially in recent months, have proven that this entity is a major source of instability, evil, and terrorism, not only in our region, but throughout the world.
In conclusion, our Palestinian people, like other peoples of the world who have fallen under the yoke of occupation and colonialism, will attain their freedom and independence, no matter how long it takes and how great the challenges, based on the justice of their cause, the steadfastness and resistance of their children, and the support of all free people of the world in their legitimate struggle for liberation, return, and independence.

Shell Accounts A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.
Account Types We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.
Web Hosting Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.
Remote Desktop Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.
Applications Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.
E-mail Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.
Security[color] Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.
[color=darkblue]Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.
Available Shell Servers
We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real “do it yourself” Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.
All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.
Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).
Alma.Eskimo.Com This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after it’s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid. Anduinos.Eskimo.Com Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others. Debian.Eskimo.Com Debian Bullseye has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded. Fedora.Eskimo.Com Fedora Rawhide can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed. Kali.Eskimo.Com Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites. Manjaro.Eskimo.Com Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed. Mint.Eskimo.Com Mint is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu. MxLinux.Eskimo.Com MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS. PopOS.Eskimo.Com popOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others. Rocky8.Eskimo.Com Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.
Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com Ubuntu can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools. Zorin.Eskimo.Com Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system.

I avoid giving psychological or psychiatric advice nowadays, since the more I learned, the more it invalidated the commonly shared and popular knowledge of what is regarded as factual and undisputed.
"The developers behind hundreds of Android and iPhone apps with billions of downloads are former Israeli spies whose apps are generating significant revenues for Israel’s genocidal war economy" There have been cases of "spyware being smuggled onto devices by apps made in Israel" The article lists names of apps developers like ZipoApp and some of the apps they sell. I've added the list in the reply to this post.
"By calling for Palestine freedom we will also set us free". Anti-Zionists Israelis speak out.
Today I speak to Elik Harpaz & Ayelet Ben Ishay, two anti-Zionist Israeli artists. We start and end the conversation with two beautiful offerings from Elik and Ayelet as they perform beautiful songs live on the podcast.
We explore the intersection of music, identity, and activism in the context of Palestine/Israel. Elik and Ayelet share their personal journeys of awakening to the realities of their society, the impact of trauma, and the role of art in resistance. They discuss the normalisation of violence in Israel, the weight of historical narratives, and the struggle for justice for Palestine.

45 ANNI FA LA STRAGE FASCISTA ALLA STAZIONE DI BOLOGNA
L’1 luglio 2025 la Corte di Cassazione a ha confermato la condanna all’ergastolo già emessa in primo e secondo grado nei confronti dell’ex terrorista nero di Avanguardia Nazionale Paolo Bellini ritenuto responsabile del massacro alla Stazione di Bologna che il 2 agosto 1980 provocò 85 morti e 200 feriti. Le condanne nei confronti gli ex NAR Valerio Fioravanti, Francesca Mambro, Luigi Ciavardini, Gilberto Cavallini e di Paolo Bellini sono dunque diventate tutte definitive. Negli ultimi anni le inchieste della magistratura bolognese sembrano aver confermato un perverso intreccio tra i nomi di maggior spicco del terrorismo nero operanti a quell’epoca in Italia e la loggia P2 di Licio Gelli.

Dans une déclaration confuse, lundi, #Trump avait indiqué vouloir « sauver beaucoup de gens » à #Gaza, et pour ce faire les #États-Unis allaient « mettre en place des centres alimentaires où les gens pourront entrer librement, sans limites ».
C'est dans ce contexte que son émissaire au Proche-Orient, l'investisseur immobilier Steve #Witkoff, et l’ambassadeur américain en #Israël, le sioniste chrétien Mike #Huckabee, ont effectué hier « une visite dans la bande de Gaza ». Pas pour rencontrer des Gazaouis, mais pour visiter, sous encadrement militaire, certains centres de distribution de la « Gaza Humanitarian Foundation » (GHF).
Pour rappel, c'est fin mai que la #GHF a pris la main sur le système d'aide de l'ONU et des ONG, après qu'Israël a rompu unilatéralement le cessez-le-feu en mars et instauré un blocus complet de l'enclave, qu'il a fini par lever suite à la pression « de pays amis ».
La GHF a servi à donner le change à la communauté internationale, en réintroduisant une aide alimentaire… volontairement insuffisante, tant au niveau quantitatif que nutritionnel — la BBC a enquêté sur le contenu des boîtes distribuées, pour conclure qu'il présente de graves lacunes. « Cette levée partielle ne visait pas à mettre en place le type de programme humanitaire que nous avons connu en tant qu'humanitaires au cours des dernières décennies », duit Alex de Waal, spécialiste britannique des famines : « Il s'agissait d'introduire un type de programme de rationnement qui n'est qu'un bras armé de l'armée israélienne. »
La GHF est fondation privée américaine, financée à la fois par le gouvernement américain, des groupes évangéliques et par « des gouvernements donateurs non identifiés » (dont probablement Israël, qui ne le reconnaît pas).
La GHF a remplacé les 400 sites de distribution d'aide utilisés par le précédent système par... 4 sites, gérés par des mercenaires américains. La GHF contribue à déplacer les Gazaouis vers le sud de l'enclave, et les transforme accessoirement en cibles d'un stand de tir géant pour soldats israéliens — selon l'ONU, plus de 1000 personnes ont déjà été tuées et 6500 blessées dans les files vers ces 4 centres de distribution.
L'ONU et les ONG considèrent que son système de distribution d'aide alimentaire est indigne, humiliant et dangereux. L'Union européenne qualifie la GHF de « mode de distribution dangereux, inhumain et inacceptable ». Les 25 pays qui ont appelé, début juillet, Israël à mettre fin « immédiatement » à sa « guerre », ont également dénoncé « le modèle de distribution de l'aide mis en place par le gouvernement israélien ».
Par ailleurs, la poursuite des activités de la GHF constitue un point de discorde non résolu dans les négociations indirectes, qui reprennent entre Israël et le Hamas.
Mais voilà, selon #Haaretz, il semble que pour « sauver beaucoup de gens », la Maison Blanche souhaite étendre les activités de la GHF. Et que cela pourrait même impliquer d'élargir les zones d'occupation israélienne à Gaza.
Ce sur quoi les diplomaties européennes devraient se battre aujourd'hui, ce ne sont pas les modalités de largages aériens dangereux et peu utiles, mais le retour au système d’aide coordonné par l’ONU avant mars 2025. Et le démantèlement immédiat de la GHF.

A lot of the security fixes since spectre have focused on exploiting speculative execution (a key CPU performance feature) to cross security boundaries. Defeating speculative execution when switching from user to kernel space (for example) adds a lot of overhead.
The new kernel add controls so that machines that don't need to worry about these exploits to disable the performance killing fixes.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Called It A Genocide Before Bernie Sanders #Johnstone
MAGA wingnut Marjorie Taylor #Greene is calling the #Gaza #holocaust a #genocide while progressive hero Bernie Sanders continues to adamantly refuse to do so, despite the solidified consensus among human rights groups and #genocide experts that that’s what this is. This is humiliating for everything that passes for the “left” in mainstream #US politics. Imagine being such a dogshit human being that you’d let Marjorie Taylor Greene be a better person than you. I keep seeing people say we shouldn’t use the label genocide until #Israel has been found guilty by an international court, but that’s exactly the same as saying you can’t say a murderer is trying to murder someone and intervene to stop him until he has been convicted of murder in a court of law.

Newly released report exposes how Obama and Brennan allegedly manipulated intelligence to create a narrative that Putin helped Trump win despite contrary evidence
New materials show further evidence of a secret plan by the Hillary Clinton campaign to use the FBI and media to spread a false claim that Donald Trump was a Russian asset.
President Trump signs executive order raising Canada tariff to 35% on Thursday, citing the nation's role in allowing illegal drugs to flow into America.
“What we now know for sure is not only was this a plan by Hillary Clinton, but this is also a plan of the Soros Society…the same people doing the same nonsense—from 2016 all the way up until the raid at Mar-a-Lago.”
Jerome “Too Late” Powell, a stubborn MORON, must substantially lower interest rates, NOW. IF HE CONTINUES TO REFUSE, THE BOARD SHOULD ASSUME CONTROL, AND DO WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE!

Too Little, Too Late. Jerome “Too Late” Powell is a disaster. DROP THE RATE! The good news is that Tariffs are bringing Billions of Dollars into the USA!
I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
I have just been informed that almost 20,000 Russian soldiers died this month in the ridiculous War with Ukraine. Russia has lost 112,500 soldiers since the beginning of the year. That is a lot of unnecessary DEATH! Ukraine, however, has also suffered greatly. They have lost approximately 8,000 soldiers since January 1, 2025, and that number does not include their missing. Ukraine has also lost civilians, but in smaller numbers, as Russian rockets crash into Kyiv, and other Ukrainian locales. This is a War that should have never happened — This is Biden’s War, not “TRUMP’s.” I’m just here to see if I can stop it!
In my opinion, today’s Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad — Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were “taken away” on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs — A TOTAL SCAM. Jerome “Too Late” Powell is no better! But, the good news is, our Country is doing GREAT!
Great news for North Carolina! Michael Whatley, one of the most capable executives in our Country, who successfully ran, along with Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee, has launched his run for the United States Senate!
Michael is fantastic at everything he does, and was certainly a STAR as Co-Chair of the RNC where, in the Presidential Election, we won every Swing State, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a landslide. He also helped us win North Carolina six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024! Michael is a wonderful man, has ALWAYS delivered for North Carolina, especially after the terrible floods, where the Biden Administration did nothing, and will continue doing so as your next U.S. Senator, where he will fight tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion American Energy DOMINANCE, Help Secure our already Secure Southern Border, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.
Michael Whatley has my Complete and Total Endorsement – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!
MAGA Warrior Joe Gruters, who has been with us from the very beginning, is running to become the next Chairman of the Republican National Committee, succeeding the Great Michael Whatley, who just launched his Campaign for the U.S. Senate from North Carolina. As State Senator and Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, Joe helped us deliver massive and historic Victories across the State, including my three BIG WINS in 2016, 2020, and 2024! As RNC Treasurer, Joe has been a Fierce Advocate for our Movement, and fought tirelessly to ensure a highly functioning, fiscally responsible, and financially successful RNC. He will be a wonderful Chairman!
Also, Republicans also have a tremendous Candidate to become the next Treasurer of the RNC. Her name is Jennifer Saul-Rich, and she has served, with distinction, as the National Committeewoman from New York. Jennifer will work to ensure the RNC continues smashing every Fundraising Record, building an incredible “War Chest” for 2026, and beyond. She will be a FANTASTIC Treasurer!
Joe Gruters and Jennifer Saul-Rich are 100% America First, and I know they will do an incredible job, and secure Great Success for Republicans all across our Country. Joe and Jennifer have my Complete and Total Endorsement — THEY WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!
Then-Vice President Joe Biden publicly linked Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin right around the same time that Hillary Clinton had signed off on the"Clinton Plan intelligence" that laid out that strategy.
“Too Late” Powell should resign, just like Adriana Kugler, a Biden Appointee, resigned. She knew he was doing the wrong thing on Interest Rates. He should resign, also!
Despite the heinous sex crimes she was convicted of, Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved to a minimum security prison in Texas after speaking with the DoJ.
