Please like and repost if you agree.
What good, if any, does the Federal Reserve Bank do?

How’s that working out for us?

1/6 Plessy v. Ferguson: On this day in history, 132 years ago, June 7, 1892, Homer Adolph Plessy purchased a first-class train ticket in New Orleans and was arrested for sitting in first-class instead of the “colored” section of the train.
2/6 In the ensuing trial in Louisiana State Court, Judge John Howard Ferguson ruled that Plessy’s constitutional rights had not been abridged.
3/6 When the case advanced to the United States Supreme Court, the Supreme Court used the case to enshrine the concept of “separate but equal” into law.

🌺।।10 Things that Hindus should and should not do consciously or subconsciously।।🌺

⚜️1. Stop using the term "God fearing" - Hindus never ever fear God. For us, God is everywhere and we are also part of God. God is not a separate entity to fear.
It is integral. Image
⚜️2. Do not use the meaningless term "RIP" when someone dies. Use 'Om Shanti', 'Sadhgati' or 'I wish this atma attains moksha/sadhgati/Uthama lokas'. Hinduism neither has the concept of "soul" nor its "resting". The terms "Atma" & "Jeeva" are,in a way,antonyms for the word "soul" Image
⚜️3. Do not use the word "Mythology" for our historic epics (Ithihaas) Ramayana and Mahabharata. Rama and Krishna are historical heroes, not just mythical characters. And so are the Dashavatars. Image

Two years ago this week I was at the White House meeting with President Biden to develop a strategy to get the gun bill passed.

1/ I want to tell you a behind-the-scenes story to show how these legislative victories would not have happened without Biden's personal involvement. Image
2/ Days after the Uvalde shooting, a small group of bipartisan Senators began to meet to work on a breakthrough gun safety bill. But the next week Congress was scheduled to be on recess, and we risked losing all our momentum.

As we were leaving for break, Joe Biden called me.
3/ He told me he wanted to give a prime time address to ramp up pressure to get a gun bill done. He told me many of his advisors thought it was too big a risk since a President only gets a few prime time addresses and passage of a gun bill seemed a remote possibility.

The specter of war looms large, casting a dark shadow over our world. We find ourselves at a crossroads, where the choices we make will shape the future for generations to come. War is a scourge that has plagued humanity since time immemorial.
It brings untold suffering, devastation, and loss. It tears apart families, destroys communities, and shatters the very fabric of society. The human cost of war is immeasurable, and the scars it leaves behind may never fully heal. But we must remember that war is not inevitable.
It is a choice—a choice that we have the power to make or to reject. We have the ability to chart a different course, one of peace, diplomacy, and understanding. We have the capacity to resolve our differences through dialogue, negotiation, and compromise.

It is amazing to me that people would jump to conclusions about this apparent malicious prank message in the court’s Facebook page. How do we know it is likely a prank? THREAD Image

On June 7, an extraordinary event will take place on planet Earth. The Pleiadians, an advanced civilization from the Pleiades star cluster, have announced that they will perform astral surgeries on all starseeds. This event promises to be a milestone in the spiritual evolution Image
of humanity, eagerly awaited by those who feel a deep connection with these star beings.
In the weeks leading up to the event, starseeds have received messages and signs through dreams and meditations, guiding them on how to prepare for this moment. They have been advised to
cleanse their spaces, meditate, and maintain a receptive and calm attitude.
On the night of June 7, 2024, while most of humanity sleeps, starseeds will gather in their homes or sacred places, prepared to receive the Pleiadian intervention. At midnight, a soft, blue light will

Why focus on sexual abuse in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

The LDS church has said, “The Church has long had a highly effective approach for preventing and responding to abuse. In fact, no religious organization has done more. Although

The facts about the IDF strike on a UNRWA school in Nuseirat:

🔴 The IDF targeted dozens of Hamas and PIJ terrorists who were operating in the school, including some terrorists who participated in the Oct 7 massacre and who were planning further attacks, some of them imminent.
🔴 The IDF monitored the Hamas compound in the UNRWA school for several days and delayed its strike twice because civilians were in harm's way.

🔴 The strike used precision munitions and only targeted the three classrooms being used by the terrorists.

🔴 The IDF carried out
the strike after confirming via aerial surveillance that no women or children were in those classrooms.

🔴So far the IDF has identified nine terrorists who were eliminated in the strike, and there are more. The IDF is working to verify the information before sharing it.
