Headlines, 3-14-25: Illegal Migrants? Gold Dollar? Russia? Prez Polk; DR Jill?

3-14-25, Newsmax [here] — FALSE REPORTING “Trump wants to stop all birthright citizenship “ ... NO … the effort is to block foreign illegal migrant birth’s citizenship. You have to read reports carefully - four paragraphs down it correctly states that it's for 'illegal migrants' - President Trump is seeking the Supreme Court order to deny citizenship to those born after Feb. 19 2025 whose parents are in the country illegally.

Roughly two dozen states, as well as several individuals and groups have sued over the executive order, which they say violates the Constitution’s 14th Amendment promise of citizenship to anyone born inside the United States. 

​The Justice Dept argues that individual judges lack the power to give nationwide effect to their rulings.

The President wants the justices to allow the Trump’s plan to go into effect for everyone except the handful of people and group that sued, arguing that the states lack the legal right, or standing, to challenge the executive order. As a fallback, the administration asked “at a minimum” to be allowed to make public announcements about how they plan to carry out the policy if it eventually is allowed to take effect. —

Insiders Claim President Trump will Reset Economy to Gold Back Currency
3-14-25, In August 1971 with inflation rising & a gold run looming, Republican President Richard Nixon ended dollar convertibility to gold. Now experts are speculating that President Trump will return it. Recently Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals has dropped a bombshell stating that Judy Shelton, President Trump’s 2020 pick for the Federal Reserve, directly told him that Trump will pull the trigger on the economic reset July 4th 2026 with a gold backed currency. 

What ultimately will occur is still up in the air. See 1-6-25 Schectman video - he talked about central banks gold buying, price reporting transparency, events that could trigger higher precious metals prices in 2025 as well as silver supply demands.

​And today, March 14, 2025 Gold bullion - FOR FIRST TIME - surged past $3,000 per ounce. [1]

3-14-25, The precious metal Gold bullion first time ever passes $3,000 per ounce as investors piled on to a historic rally in the safe haven asset; hitting an all-time high of $3,004.86. GoldCore CEO, David Russell reported that Gold has also been supported by central bank demand, with key buyer China building its bullion reserves for a fourth straight month in February 2025: Central banks continue record-level gold acquisitions, seeking to diversify away from an increasingly volatile U.S. dollar. Gold could see a significant correction, when a resolution to trade issues appears and asset markets recover. In other metals, silver added 0.3% to $33.9 an ounce, platinum gained 0.3% to $997.00 and palladium firmed 2.1% to $978.18. https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/gold-3-000/2025/03/14/id/1202761/

3-14-25, * - Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin told frantic reporters: “We agree with the proposals for the cease fire; but our position is based on the assumption that the cease-fire would lead to a long-term peace that removes the initial reasons for the crisis.” He posed a long series of rhetorical questions a few follow:
1. Russia is currently rounding up defeated Ukrainian soldiers burrowed in the forests of its own Kursk territory. So under a cease-fire, what happens to them? Are they required to surrender? Or do they sit tight in their hidey-holes indefinitely?
2. Who exactly shall monitor this sprawling 600-mile contact line? Are those monitors ready to go right now?
3. Will the U.S. pause military aid during the cease-fire, or just use the lull to re-arm Ukraine? [1]

Russia Should Be Dictating Terms
3-13-25, Paul Craig -- Russia should be imposing surrender terms on Zelensky, Trump, and Europe.  Clearly Russia has already won the conflict.  Why should Putin agree to a negotiation?  The victor dictates the surrender terms. If Russia’s surrender terms are not accepted, Russia should proceed with the conquest of the entirety of Ukraine and reincorporate Ukraine into Russia where it historically belongs. [..] Peace must be conclusive.  Cease fires never are.

Portrait Recently Added to Trump's Oval Office #11 President Democrat James Polk [here]
3-14-25, Western Journal -- President Trump has sounded expansionist themes. He has talked about acquiring Greenland, restoring U.S. control of the Panama Canal, and taking the lead role in redeveloping the Middle East's Islamic terrorist controlled Gaza, Israel. He renamed the Gulf of Mexico “the Gulf of America.” We now see he is honoring the #11 USA President James 

Polk who was a protege of Andrew Jackson who acquired many states: Oregon Territory, Texas, land from Mexico California and much of the American Southwest. And he did it in only one term. Historian John Pinheiro, director of research at the Acton Institute, told the Wall Street Journal: “Polk had a vision of a bicoastal nation with commerce with Europe on one coast and Asia on the other. If Trump and Polk have anything in common … it’s looking next door.”

Jill Biden’s Doctorate Is Garbage Because Her Dissertation Is Garbage [here]
2-16-25, AmericanThinker, Thomas Lifson -- The problems with Jill Biden's 33,000-word document begin on the title page with the label "Dissertation/Executive Position Paper."  Back in the late 1970s, when I researched and wrote my 1978 Ph.D. thesis, I was told that the criterion was an original contribution to scholarly knowledge.   I suppose that calling her essay an "executive position paper" entirely disposes of the requirement of actual production of knowledge.

12-16-20, Tucker Carlson [here] --  did a superb job of not just exposing the inadequacies of Mrs Biden's dissertation, but of making the broader point that the ruling class's justification for its rule is mostly based on credentials (it certainly isn't based on actual competence or results), and Jill Biden's credential is empty.  Demonstrating actual intellectual or substantive merit? She did not.  

Americans were being led by a bunch of pretentious imposters.

12-16-20, Kyle Smith, National Review [here] -- [excerpt] Mrs Biden insisting on being called “Doctor” when you don’t heal people is, among most holders of doctorates, seen as a gauche, silly, cringey ego trip. Consider “Dr.” Jill Biden, who doesn’t even hold a Ph.D. but rather a lesser Ed.D., something of a joke in the academic world. Joe Biden said "My wife sought the degree purely for status reasons she said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate.”
