Silver Certificates
The Crime of 1873
Milton Friedman

The U.S. Coinage Act of 1873 eliminated provision for the free coinage of silver. That act cast the die for a gold standard. The conventional view is that "the act of 1873 was a piece of good fortune." This paper indicates that it was the opposite - a mistake that had highly adverse consequences. This is a judgment about 1873, not 1896. By 1896, when William Jennings Bryan ran for president on a "free-silver ticket," it was too late to undo the damage. Bryan was trying to close the barn door after the horse had been stolen. 

"I am persuaded history will write it [the act of 1873] down as the greatest legislative crime and the most stupendous conspiracy against the welfare of the people of the United States and of Europe which this or any other age has witnessed." - SENATOR JOHN H. REAGAN 1890

"[The demonetization of silver] was the crime of the nineteenth century."- SENATOR WILLIAM M. STEWART 1889


CRIME OF 1873,  pg 1161
I have italicized two terms that are critical to understanding the "crime of '73." "Free coinage" is critical because it gave practical content to a specie standard by providing that the government mint would convert specie that individuals chose to bring to the mint into legal tender currency denominated in "dollars" (initially solely in the form of coins; later in paper certificates as well) at the stated metallic equivalent. "Both" is critical because it effectively established the United States on a bimetallic standard, that is, a monetary standard that authorized free coinage, and hence the use as money, of either of two metals, silver or gold. These two provisions were equivalent to saying that the government would buy all silver or gold offered to it at prices of $1.2929... per troy ounce of pure silver and $19.3939... per troy ounce of fine gold, that is, 15 times as much for an ounce of gold as for an ounce of silver; whence the "ratio of 15 to 1."3

Republican Governors Band Together, Issue Joint Statement Supporting Texas’ Constitutional Right to Self-Defense

WASHINGTON, D.C. – 25 Republican governors released the following joint statement in support of Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Texas’ constitutional right to self-defense.
The statement comes as the Biden Administration continues to attack Texas and refuses to take action or responsibility for the crisis at the Southern border.
“President Biden and his Administration have left Americans and our country completely vulnerable to unprecedented illegal immigration pouring across the Southern border. Instead of upholding the rule of law and securing the border, the Biden Administration has attacked and sued Texas for stepping up to protect American citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country. 
“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border. We do it in part because the Biden Administration is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally. 
“The authors of the U.S. Constitution made clear that in times like this, states have a right of self-defense, under Article 4, Section 4 and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Because the Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states, Texas has every legal justification to protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation.”
Signatories include: Governor Kay Ivey (AL), Governor Mike Dunleavy (AK), Governor Sarah Sanders (AR), Governor Ron DeSantis (FL), Governor Brian Kemp (GA), Governor Brad Little (ID), Governor Eric Holcomb (IN), Governor Kim Reynolds (IA), Governor Jeff Landry (LA), Governor Tate Reeves (MS), Governor Mike Parson (MO), Governor Greg Gianforte (MT), Governor Jim Pillen (NE), Governor Joe Lombardo (NV), Governor Chris Sununu (NH), Governor Doug Burgum (ND), Governor Mike DeWine (OH), Governor Kevin Stitt (OK), Governor Henry McMaster (SC), Governor Kristi Noem (SD), Governor Bill Lee (TN), Governor Spencer Cox (UT), Governor Glenn Youngkin (VA), Governor Jim Justice (WV), and Governor Mark Gordon (WY).

The Civil War: 1863 Union Supply Line in Chattanooga. Historian Wilson Greene discussed the supply line or "Cracker Line" of the Chattanooga Campaign of 1863. Union victory at Chattanooga left the rivers, rails, and roads of the area firmly under Union control, and transformed Chattanooga into a supply and communications base that paved the way for General Sherman's 1864 March to the Sea. This was part of the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier's annual event in Petersburg, Virginia.

The Civil War: 1863 Union Supply Line in Chattanooga. Historian Wilson Greene discussed the supply line or "Cracker Line" of the Chattanooga Campaign of 1863. Union victory at Chattanooga left the rivers, rails, and roads of the area firmly under Union control, and transformed Chattanooga into a supply and communications base that paved the way for General Sherman's 1864 March to the Sea. This was part of the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier's annual event in Petersburg, Virginia.

Flat out he will lose. The only thing that matters is the caucus. In Nevada, the republican delegates are distributed according to the caucus. From what I understand, Nikki Haley is participating in the primary but not the caucus. 
The republican candidates get delegates via the caucus only, in Nevada.

Why Does Texas Have Its Own Power Grid?

Because the Eastern and Western Interconnection cross state lines, they’re subject to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which regulates how electricity is transferred and sold in the U.S.  
This commission was formed in 1935, under the Federal Power Act signed by FDR. It also oversees other issues related to power generation, such as hydropower, natural gas, and liquid natural gas (LNG) production.  
Texas wanted to avoid federal regulation of its power system, so it chose to keep its power grid separate from the other interconnections. That means the Texas power grid doesn’t cross state lines and can be managed independently.

Albertans Asked to Conserve Power to Minimize Potential for Rotating Outages

Rolling Blackout
A rolling blackout, also referred to as rota or rotational load shedding, rota disconnection, feeder rotation, or a rotating outage, is an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown in which electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region. Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure used by an electric utility company to avoid a total blackout of the power system.
Rolling blackouts are a measure of demand response if the demand for electricity exceeds the power supply capability of the network. Rolling blackouts may be localised to a specific part of the electricity network, or they may be more widespread and affect entire countries and continents. Rolling blackouts generally result from two causes: insufficient generation capacity or inadequate transmission infrastructure to deliver power to where it is needed. 
In developing countries
Rolling blackouts are a common or even a normal daily event in many developing countries where electricity generation capacity is underfunded or infrastructure is poorly managed. In well managed under-capacity systems blackouts are planned and schedules are published in advance to allow people to work around them. In poorly managed systems they happen without warning, typically whenever the transmission frequency falls below the 'safe' limit.

Power grids in the US are currently providing a case study of the risks of a mis-managed energy transition. Prematurely closing coal, gas and nuclear power stations risks blackouts. Who knew?
Well, apparently lots of people.

Back in April, lawmakers wrote to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) saying that “blackouts, brownouts, and energy rationing have become far too common in the past few years. The primary cause of the electricity shortages Americans have experienced in recent history is a lack of generation capacity ... These shortages often happen in the cold of winter or the heat of summer. This is due, in no small part, to the premature retirement of dispatchable generation resources, like coal, nuclear, and natural gas, and the rapid expansion of intermittent resources, like wind and solar, onto the bulk power system.” 
The FERC agrees. Appearing before the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee earlier this summer, FERC Commissioner Mark Christie said “the United States is heading for a reliability crisis. I do not use the term ‘crisis’ for melodrama, but because it is an accurate description of what we are facing.”
Christie said that too many coal, natural gas and nuclear power stations are being mothballed too quickly, threatening security of supply. Jim Robb, CEO of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), an agency which enforces grid reliability standards, told the same committee that operating the electric grid “ever closer to the edge” by relying on weather-dependent renewables will likely lead to “more frequent and more serious disruptions.”
In June, the NERC warned that two-thirds of North America was at risk of energy shortfalls in high heat, in its summer reliability report. It found that all 20 assessment areas have adequate power resources to meet normal peak summer demand, but some areas are at elevated risk of supply shortages in the event of “more extreme summer conditions”. Evening solar drop off and a reliance on wind were a common theme across these areas.
“Low wind and high demand periods could result in energy emergencies,” said the report. Similar risks were identified last year and the year before.
Despite these warnings, the US Environmental Protection Agency has issued new power-plant emissions standards that will effectively dismantle baseload coal and gas capacity by 2030, much to the discomfort of grid operators across the country, while utilities have announced plans to retire more than 40 percent of the remaining US coal fleet by 2030. Meanwhile millions of Americans are facing blackout risks right now.

Trump lawyers to use ‘conflict of interest’ between judge, Carroll’s attorney in appeal of $83.3M jury verdict: ‘Insane’
Charles Gasparino
Published Jan. 27, 2024

Donald Trump’s lawyers will use an “insane” and previously unknown “conflict of interest” between E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer and the judge presiding over her defamation case against the former president as the basis of their appeal seeking to toss the eye-popping $83.3 million jury verdict, The Post has learned.
Trump lawyer Alina Habba said she was unaware Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan worked together in the early 1990s at the same powerhouse white-shoe law firm until Saturday, when asked about it by Post columnist Charles Gasparino, who was told by a source that the judge was once Roberta Kaplan’s “mentor.
Roberta Kaplan worked at Paul, Weiss Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison in Midtown from 1992 to 2016, before leaving to become a founding partner of Kaplan Hecker & Fink, according to her LinkedIn page.
“This is news to us,” she continued. “We are going to include this in our appeal and take appropriate measures. The fact it wasn’t disclosed is an ethics violation.”
During her early years at Paul Weiss, she worked as associate of the firm at the same time as Judge Kaplan, who was a partner there until 1994 when he was appointed to the federal bench by then-President Bill Clinton.

An overnight drone strike killed 3 US troops, but there is controversy over exactly where.

US officials have claimed a rebel attack killed 3 and injured at least 30 at a small US “outpost” in northeast Jordan, but a Jordanian government spokesman said the strike was actually targeted at the large Al-Tanf US base just across the border in Syria.
The distinction is significant as the Syrian government and other countries consider the US presence in Syria to be illegal.
Sputnik takes a deep dive into the genesis of the US’ decade-long presence in Syria kicked off via the CIA’s covert Timber Sycamore program, which has cost US taxpayers over $1 billion.

American Base Near Syria-Jordan Border Attacked Amidst Rejection of US Role in Area

The United States has been engaged in a semi-covert regime change effort in Syria for over a decade.
A US base near the Syria-Jordan border was struck by an overnight drone attack in the latest demonstration of widespread rejection of the United States’ role in the region.
The attack killed three US Army soldiers and injured more than 30, according to the latest reports from US officials Sunday.
There is dispute over whether the targeted US installation was in Jordan or Syria. US officials have claimed the attack hit Tower 22 in Jordan, which US media describes as a “small US outpost” in the northeast of the country. Meanwhile Jordanian government spokesman Muhannad al Mubaidin told a local television channel the strike was actually against the Al-Tanf base, which hosts a substantial US military presence in Syria.
The distinction is significant as the Syrian government and other countries consider the US presence in Syria to be illegal.
The instance is the first known time US troops have been killed in attacks targeting the country’s presence in the Middle East since US backing of Israel provoked retaliatory strikes starting in October. US strikes are thought to have produced casualties as recently as four days ago, when the White House reported that an attack on Kataib Hezbollah likely killed several members of the militia.

Jordan Says Attack Targeting American Soldiers Was not on its Soil

An attack that killed three American servicemen was not on Jordanian soil but in Syria, a spokesperson for Jordan's government said on Sunday.
Muhannad al Mubaidin told Jordanian public broadcaster al Mamlaka television that the attack had targeted the US Al-Tanf base in Syria.
Earlier on Sunday, President Joe Biden said three US service members were killed and many wounded during an unmanned aerial drone attack on US forces stationed in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border.
Biden attributed the attack to Iran-backed militia groups.

Intl Crisis Group: Al-Tanf, Syria
FLASHPOINT / GLOBAL 22 JAN 2024
Al-Tanf, Syria
I.
Why it Matters
Located in Syria on the Iraqi border and within miles of the Jordanian border, the U.S. garrison at al-Tanf has, since 2016, served as a launching point for counter-ISIS operations and training for Syrian opposition factions fighting the jihadist group. Iranian and Iran-backed forces are deployed in close proximity to the al-Tanf desert outpost, which sits on the strategically significant Baghdad-Damascus highway. U.S. forces in al-Tanf established a 55-km de-confliction zone, beyond which lie an array of forces described as either “pro-regime” or “Iran-backed” that have set up checkpoints in the area. Several incidents in recent months underscore al-Tanf’s potential as a flashpoint between U.S. and Iranian and/or Iran-backed forces.
II.
Recent Developments
22 January 2024
The U.S. sanctioned “Iraqi airline Fly Baghdad and its CEO for providing assistance to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) and its proxy groups in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon”, in addition to listing “two Iraq-registered aircraft owned by Fly Baghdad… as blocked property”. The U.S. also designated “three leaders and supporters of one of the IRGC-QF’s main Iran-aligned militias in Iraq, Kata’ib Hezbollah (KH), as well as a business that moves and launders funds for KH”. The State Department contended that “the IRGC-QF and Iran-aligned militia groups pose a significant threat to the Middle East region… The U.S. remains committed to exposing and taking actions against individuals and groups that abuse their local economies and engage in illegal activities that support terrorist groups destabilising the region”.

A Direct Confrontation Could Occur. Now that ISIS’s territorial control is all but eliminated, attention among most relevant actors will shift more markedly toward means of improving the balance of power on the ground in their favour, so as to strengthen military positioning and negotiating leverage. Iranian forces and their allies might seek to target U.S. forces in and around al-Tanf in retaliation against U.S. actions elsewhere or in an effort to drive the U.S. out of Syria. There is no clear military path to the latter objective, as the U.S. can continue to destroy forces that cross into exclusion zone for the foreseeable future. Yet this could strengthen more hawkish elements in Washington and invite the U.S. to take retaliatory measures of its own, thus starting an escalatory spiral.

cont...
To avoid unintended clashes and contain incidents, Russia and the U.S. need to redress the shortcomings of their hotline, to ensure it allows for time-sensitive communication, prevents miscommunication and stops future incidents, such as a breach of the de-confliction zone, from escalating. The shooting down of the Shahed 129 drone in June demonstrated this problem, as Pentagon officials acknowledged that the situation evolved too rapidly to communicate with their Russian counterparts. The communications channel seems to have performed more effectively in the 4 October incident, and again during the 16 November incident with ISIS forces. U.S. and Russian officials should assess whether it is possible to further reduce hotline response times and ensure timely and accurate exchanges of information.

Bracket Al-Tanf: The utility of rebels based at al-Tanf in the anti-ISIS effort has declined, and the U.S. doesn’t currently have any other strategic use for them -- especially because it also has seemingly ended its investment in armed resistance against the Syrian regime. This does marginally decrease U.S. incentive to stay in al-Tanf, but probably not to a point where they are prepared to withdraw unilaterally and cede its control to Iran and its allies. Until the fate of the base is determined in broader negotiations between major parties over Syria’s future or in bilateral arrangements between the U.S. and Russia, Iranian and Iran-backed forces should refrain from breaching the 55-km cordon around the garrison in the air or on the ground.

This F-16 sale is crucial because it comes at a time when we need maximum deterrence.

Jordan says attacked US base is located in Syria
According to Jordanian Minister of Government Communications Muhannad Miibaidin, the base is located in Syria’s al-Tanf area near the border with Jordan
BEIRUT, January 28. /TASS/. Jordan has refuted US President Joe Biden’s statement that US forces were attacked in Jordan’s territory.
"The US [military] base that came under an attack is located outside Jordan," Jordanian Minister of Government Communications Muhannad Mubaidin told the Al Mamlaka television channel.
According to Miibaidin, the base is located in Syria’s al-Tanf area near the border with Jordan.
Earlier in the day, the White House released President Biden’s written statement saying that on January 27 "three U.S. service members were killed—and many wounded—during an unmanned aerial drone attack on our forces stationed in northeast Jordan near the Syria border."
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said earlier that three US soldiers had been killed and at least had been wounded in a drone attack on a US base in northern Jordan.

2018 State of the Union Address
President Trump delivered his first State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. He covered a range of themes, including national security, immigration, opioid addiction, infrastructure, the economy, and the actions of his administration over the past year. Throughout his speech, the president described everyday Americans who had performed heroic acts, such as a police officer who adopted the child of a mother addicted to heroin, and he praised the work of first responders and volunteers to the hurricanes, wildfires, mass shootings, and other crises of the past year. The president called on Congress to work together to pass immigration reform and rebuild the nation’s infrastructure, saying, “I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people.”

White House Pharmacy Dispensed Drugs Without Verifying Patient Identities: Inspector General
Watchdog finds ’severe and systemic problems.’
The pharmacy at the White House repeatedly gave controlled drugs to ineligible staffers, according to an inspector general.

“All phases of the White House Medical Unit’s pharmacy operations had severe and systemic problems due to the unit’s reliance on ineffective internal controls to ensure compliance with pharmacy safety standards,” the U.S. Department of Defense’s Office of Inspector General said in a report this month detailing its investigation into allegations the White House clinic was engaging in “improper medical practices.”
The probe involved interviewing more than 120 officials and reviewing over 200 documents
Witnesses testified to rampant issues.
“Anything that took place at the White House Clinic was never written down, never recorded,” one witness told investigators. “The only record that you ever had that a patient came in and got any sort of medication would have been if it was a controlled substance that we were required to document for the pharmacy.”
The clinic failed to properly account for opioids and other controlled substances, wrote prescriptions without required information, and dispensed prescriptions without checking the recipient’s identity, the probe found.
The clinic’s actions violated both federal law and Department of Defense (DoD) policy, such as a law that requires medical providers keep track of drugs, the inspector general said.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
The clinic is run by the White House Medical Unit, a military unit that was established in 1945 and includes both military and civilian DoD employees. Staff members include doctors, nurses, and psychologists.
The unit was composed of 60 staff members as of 2019, triple the number from 2005.
In interviews with investigators, White House Medical Unit staffers said that the clinic does not constitute a true pharmacy because of the relatively low volume of drugs it handles.
“We did not find DoD guidance that outlines the volume of pharmaceutical services that would require a full time pharmacist. However, we concluded that while the White House Medical Unit may be performing a smaller number of pharmaceutical tasks, those tasks entail the full universe of pharmaceutical operations,” the watchdog report states.
“During our site visits, we observed White House Medical Unit staff performing tasks customarily associated with those of a pharmacy, such as ordering and storing a variety of prescription and non‑prescription medications and dispensing medications to patients in conventional, amber‑colored pill bottles that were marked ‘White House Medical Unit.’ Additionally, at the WHCA clinic, we observed a sign that read ‘Pharmacy.’”

The investigation requested records from 2014 through 2020, but records were only provided from 2017 to 2020. President Barack Obama was president until January 2017, while President Donald Trump was president until January 2021.
There were some documents uncovered from the Obama administration, including a handwritten note dated March 2014. The note instructed staffers to hand out medications to people, “including all controlled substances,” without verifying the patient’s identity.
Some witnesses said that their work at the pharmacy involved pre-packing drugs.
“So we would normally make these packets of Ambien and Provigil, and a lot of times they’d be in like five tablets in a zip‑lock bag,” one said. “And so traditionally, too, we would hand these out. ... But a lot of times the senior staff would come by or their staff representatives ... would come by the residence clinic to pick it up. And it was very much a, hey, I’m here to pick this up for Ms. X.; And the expectation was we just go ahead and pass it out.”
Ambien is a sedative while Provigil is a stimulant. Both are controlled substances that require prescriptions.
According to another witness, a doctor asked if he or she could dole out the stimulant as a “parting gift for leaving the White House.
“And at the time, the corpsmen and the medics, the enlisted corpsmen and the medics, [said] it was okay for us to dispense Provigil and Ambien without having a provider present,“ the witness said, adding: ”I’m not sure if it was okay as far as, like, what’s medically allowed. But in the unit, it was authorized for us to do that kind of stuff.”
Investigators also reviewed financial records and discovered that the medical unit frequently used Ambien and Provigil despite the generic versions, which are cheaper, generally being required by federal regulations. The unit spent $46,500 over three years for Ambien, which is 174 times more expensive than the generic version, and $98,000 for Provigil, despite it being 55 times more expensive than the generic equivalent.
Investigators recommended the DoD develop an oversight plan for the pharmacy and revamp its outpatient medical services, including establishing procedures to verify whether people are eligible to receive drugs through the Military Health System. The DoD agreed with the recommendations and said they have started to act on them. The inspector general said it would work to verify later that the recommendations are adopted.
Another investigation previously found that Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), while running the White House Medical Unit, misused Ambien and engaged in other improper conduct.

BRICS Gets Boost as Saudi Arabia Joins Group of Emerging Nations

• Argentina is the only invitee to decline membership of bloc
• 34 new countries have expressed interest in joining BRICS

By S'thembile Cele
January 31, 2024 at 10:25 AM PST

South Africa’s foreign minister said Saudi Arabia and four other countries have accepted the invitation to join the BRICS club of nations that was extended during a summit last year.

Minister Naledi Pandor said that Russia, who takes over as chair of the bloc this year from South Africa, has received written interest from 34 countries who want to join. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates are now full members, she said.

Iran officially participates for first time in BRICS summit as full member

Tuesday, 30 January 2024
Iran’s representatives have officially taken part for the first time in a meeting of the BRICS group of emerging economies in Russia, less than a month after joining the economic bloc as a full member.
Among the representatives at the event are Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Affairs Mehdi Safari and ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali.
For the first time, delegates from the Islamic Republic of Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Ethiopia are scheduled to exchange views on BRICS plans in 2024 during the three-day meeting in the Russian capital city of Moscow.
This comes as Russian, Chinese, Brazilian, Indian and South African diplomats are in attendance as representatives of the founding members of the bloc.
Iran officially became a member of the BRICS at the beginning of this year, five months after it announced its acceptance as full member into the group along with Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
BRICS was formed by and initially consisted of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, which collectively represent around 40% of the global population and a quarter of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP).
Iran was among dozens of countries that sought membership in BRICS and had submitted a formal application to join the body.

Regional bank that played rescuer in 2023 now in turmoil

New York Community Bancorp (NYCB) played the role of rescuer during a 2023 regional banking crisis by purchasing some assets of the failed Signature Bank. Now it is experiencing some trouble of its own.
The stock of the Hicksville, N.Y.-based lender initially fell 46% Wednesday after it reported a surprise net loss of $252 million for the fourth quarter and announced it slashed its dividend. Its 37% decline for the day was the largest one-day percentage drop in the stock’s history.
The news sent new shockwaves through the regional banking world as stocks of other mid-sized lenders such as Valley National Bancorp (VLY), BankUnited (BKU), and Western Alliance (WAL) fell. An index that tracks those banks ended the day down roughly 6%.
New York Community Bancorp’s troubles can be traced back to how it responded to a crisis that roiled the regional banking world in 2023. Signature was one of three sizable regional lenders that failed between March and May, triggering panic about the strength of many other mid-sized financial institutions across the US.
NYCB’s decision to absorb billions in loans seized from that fallen rival pushed the bank above an important asset threshold of $100 billion, subjecting the company to higher regulatory standards. Bigger banks in the US are required to set aside more capital to give them sizable buffers against future losses.
