Democrats Cross Scott Bessent

The Democrats have made many mistakes the past few months, but perhaps none that will cost them so much as their efforts to cross — and double-cross — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The U.S. treasurer is engaged in a global battle to force Iran to surrender and end hostilities in the Middle East.

Do the Democrats want peace, or do they just want more confusion and a prolonged war so they can score political points? And why are some of  America’s top allies, including Great Britain, France and Switzerland, seemingly conspiring with Iran?

Here, Doug in Exile analyzes the Treasury Department’s latest moves to disrupt financial systems and the strategy behind returning specific funds. Recent actions involving the Treasury Department have raised questions about how the government handles financial oversight and its impact on everyday citizens.

By breaking down these developments, we provide an honest look at the state of affairs without the filtered mainstream narrative. We connect the dots to see how these decisions affect your wallet and the broader American economy. Here’s the full scoop from Doug In Exile.

MAGA 2026 Election Guide

Joe Dan Gorman delivers an unofficial 2026 MAGA election guide.

Boiled down to a nutshell: You might have to hold your tongue and vote for a few stinkers. But the country needs your help to overcome yet another attempt by the commie Democrats to  mangle our Constitution and destroy our Bill of Rights.

President Donald Trump has put warp speed on the American private sector. He’s working overtime to stave our the enormous debt and lift our economy into the stratosphere. Investments, blueprints, productions and paychecks. Preach it, Joe Dan.

Will We See Hyper Inflation?

Financial writer and precious metals expert Bill Holter/AKA Mr. Gold, says, “We could have paper currencies imploding in purchasing power. Anybody who says you can’t have all currencies imploding is wrong. If the US dollar collapses, what do you think is on the balance sheet of all central banks across the globe? Dollars.”

Holter adds, “Balance sheets can get destroyed. That’s what people are not really understanding. Treasury bonds are the foundation to the entire financial system. Treasuries are a defaultable asset. Treasuries and dollars have been over-printed, and there is your inflation.”

Here’s more from Holter in an interview with Greg Hunter on USAWatchdog.com.

A Return To Gold Standard?

The U.S. Treasury Department is quietly triggering the greatest reset in the history of the nation. Is the stage being set for a return to the gold standard?

Why is the Trump administration now adding Judy Shelton as an advisor to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent? Shelton is well-known as an advocate for returning to the gold standard to back our currency.

She served as an advisor to Trump during his first term. He nominated her for the board of the Federal Reserve, but the nomination was subsequently withdrawn when the votes for approval could not be secured in the U.S. Senate. Here’s more from Chris Yoon.

Deep State Hitting Panic Mode

The [Deep State] money that runs their criminal system is drying up. They are panicking.

The fake news is pushing the narrative that President Donald Trump has not accomplished or won anything. This is going to backfire because now that accomplishment and winning is being pushed, it is having the opposite effect.

Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent turned the tables on the [Deep State]. They are using the weapons that the Deep State created to control countries against them. Pain. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Donroe Doctrine Goes Live

The Kremlin released rare footage of a high-level meeting between Vladimir Putin and Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, followed by their first trip to Kyiv this term and a comparatively restrained response from Volodymyr Zelenskyy, signaling revived U.S. diplomacy on Ukraine.

The script argues Putin views the American team as a more trusted broker than European leaders and notes a recent sequence of engagements, including CIA Director  John Ratcliffe’s public Moscow visit and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s G20 outreach to Russia’s finance minister.

With Kirill Dmitriev present, Moscow described detailed discussions of major U.S.-Russia economic projects, alongside claims that Bessent is choking off offshore and banking channels funding Ukraine via Europe, the United Kingdom and Canada.

It then pivots to Argentina’s renewed Malvinas/Falklands push as Trump publicly and reportedly reconsiders automatic U.S. support for British sovereignty, recalling internal U.S. divisions during the 1982 war. Here’s more from Susan Kokinda with Promethean Updates.

Fake News Eating Crow Again

A blockbuster U.S. jobs report showing 162,000 jobs created is contrasted with Canada’s 40,000 job loss under Mark Carney. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells Steve Bannon that Wall Street and major outlets like the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal stoke economic panic and spread “fake news.”  Bessent cites a misframed story about Norway’s sovereign wealth fund shifting from Treasuries into higher-yield Fannie and Freddie securities.

The episode frames today’s challenge exiting from a “Red Queen economy.” America must grow productivity fast enough to outrun debt, China’s advances, and infrastructure and skills obsolescence, all while coping with Biden-era inflation and spending. This spotlights the Trump administration workforce initiatives, including expanded training and Pell Grant use and the new Foundry School—an advanced manufacturing program with a Stanford curriculum and international PAX Silica partners.

Finally, it covers President Donald Trump’s executive orders aiding ranchers’ beef processing and the Department of Justice antitrust scrutiny of major meatpackers and retailers. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.

Cut Off The Head Of The Snake

Susan Kokinda analyzes U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s remarks to Larry Kudlow about tracking IRGC assets, focusing on offshore hubs like the British Virgin Islands and the broader British-linked financial architecture behind shell companies, alongside Treasury’s campaign warning 60 entities to clean up, with Hong Kong a major target.

She argues this financial offensive is part of a strategic realignment away from imperial “choke points,” echoed by Doug Burgum’s call to shift global energy focus toward the Western Hemisphere.

In the Middle East, she highlights lifted U.S. sanctions on Syria, the formation of the Mecca Joint Defense Alliance (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan), and Trump’s “Board of Peace,” under which Hamas has agreed to disarm. She also covers G20 tensions over inviting Russia’s finance minister, Bessent’s meeting with him, and Bessent’s claim of shared U.S.-China goals on Iran. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.

Head Of The Snake Decapitated

The [Deep State] is struggling. They have lost control and their leverage. President Donald Trump has been shifting their leverage and control to him and the people.

Each piece of the [Deep State] system is being brought down. This is not an easy fast task. The [Deep State] is fighting him every step of the way.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent let the world know that they cut off the head of the snake in Iran. The body is still wiggling because it doesn’t know its dead. Tick tock. The [Deep State] loses.  Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Driving Schools Shut Down

The U.S. Transportation Department has joined the fight against illegal aliens by shutting down 110 schools offering commercial driving licenses. Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, says the schools were offering the CDLs to illegals, including those who had failed English-language proficiency tests.

“From states failing to follow the law to shady training schools and illicit companies, together we will tackle every link in the chain,” Duffy said. This follows Operation Highway Shield, which involved targeting unqualified drivers on big rigs in four states — Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Iowa. The operation led to the arrest of 51 illegal aliens, as well as recovery of nearly one million dollars worth of stolen cargo.

Also in this edition: Border Security, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent demonstrates the power of financial enforcement and energy chokepoints remain under threat, notably the Strait of Hormuz, but others as well. Pray. Here’s more from And We Know.
