Key Takeaway

Peter Schiff strikes again: Bitcoin is doomed, he says, as stablecoins steal its transaction role and gold crushes it in value storage.

User ALUTHEDON shared CBS footage from Morley Safer's 1965 report on Marines razing 150 huts in Cam Ne, South Vietnam, asking why films depict U.S. troops as the good guys. Many countered with examples like Apocalypse Now's moral descent, Platoon's civilian massacres and rapes, and Full Metal Jacket's boot-camp brutality and urban carnage. Films such as The Deer Hunter and Born on the Fourth of July highlight trauma and regret, while even pro-war The Green Berets flopped; the discussion notes movies often center American views amid the war's heavy toll of 58,000 U.S. deaths and millions of Vietnamese casualties.

Key Takeaway

A clip of U.S. Marines burning huts in 1965 Vietnam sparked questions about movies always showing soldiers as heroes. Replies quickly pointed to decades of films that paint a much grimmer picture.

The clip, shared on Friday, gathers moments from May to December 2021 where President Biden, Vice President Harris, Press Secretary Psaki, and Treasury Secretary Yellen downplayed rising costs, often citing Federal Reserve views. Inflation climbed from 1.4 percent when Biden took office to a 40-year peak of 9.1 percent in June 2022, fueled by supply chain issues, strong demand, energy shocks, and stimulus spending. While some blame administration policies like the American Rescue Plan, others note global pressures, with prices now steady near the Fed's 2 percent target by late 2025 after rate hikes brought it down from the peak.

Key Takeaway

Back in 2021, top Biden officials like Janet Yellen and Jen Psaki kept calling surging inflation 'transitory' in speeches and briefings. A resurfaced montage has people revisiting those assurances as prices hit record highs.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke out against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán days before Hungary's April 12 parliamentary elections, warning voters against backing a Trump ally. Orbán, who has led since 2010, recently hosted U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who praised strong bilateral ties and Trump's support. Critics dismissed Clinton's comment by noting Orbán's long career predates Trump, while polls show challenger Péter Magyar's Tisza party now leading in a tight race marked by debates over EU policies, migration, and national sovereignty.

Key Takeaway

In a video clip shared online, Hillary Clinton urged Hungarians to pick leaders for their own country, not someone she labeled a 'puppet of Trump.' The remark lands as Orbán's party braces for its closest election fight yet.
