- President Trump’s own tariff plan may have stacked the odds against his much-requested cut to the interest rate. According to Fed notes from a meeting ahead of Trump’s tariffs being announced, the threat of such policies was already causing the FOMC to pause. By enacting such policies in the weeks since, the White House may have sealed its own fate.

- Trump revealed on Tuesday that he’s seriously considering a proposal to give 20% to every American taxpayer, funded entirely by the massive savings the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has accumulated.
- And another 20% of DOGE’s savings could go straight to paying down the federal government’s bloated debt.
Fishback explained the idea as follows:
Here’s how President Trump’s DOGE Dividend works:
DOGE is targeting $2 trillion in total savings.
- Take 20% of DOGE’s total savings ($400 billion) and return it to the ~79 million U.S. households that will be net payers of federal income tax4 in CY 2025 as a tax-refund check called the “DOGE Dividend.”
- $400 billion in DOGE-driven savings *divided by* 79 million tax-paying households = $5,000 “DOGE Dividend” check per tax-paying household.
Trump:
By doing this, Americans will tell us where there’s waste. They’ll be reporting it themselves. They participate in the process of saving money. So many of the men and women in this room, as an example, pay tremendous amounts of taxes.

EXCLUSIVE: @USTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirms to me that yes, there is still gold in Fort Knox. pic.twitter.com/NUQzYrexZI
— Dan O’Donnell (@DanODonnellShow) February 19, 2025
-
Verification of Joint Seals:
-
Each vault compartment containing Deep Storage gold (the bulk of the reserves at Fort Knox, Denver, and West Point) is sealed with an Official Joint Seal after its contents are audited. These seals are tamper-evident and affixed by a committee typically comprising representatives from the Treasury, the U.S. Mint, and sometimes the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
-
The annual “audit” involves inspecting these seals to ensure they remain intact and unimpaired. If a seal is unbroken, the assumption—per the audit protocol—is that the gold inside hasn’t been disturbed since its last physical verification.
-
-
No Routine Physical Inventory:
-
Unlike a full audit, which would involve opening vaults, counting every bar, verifying serial numbers, weighing bars, and conducting sample assays for purity, the seal-check process doesn’t require entering the vaults or handling the gold unless a seal is compromised or a vault must be accessed for operational reasons (e.g., moving gold for testing).
-
Historical records indicate that since the 1986 completion of the continuing audits, no comprehensive physical recount of all 147.3 million troy ounces at Fort Knox has been publicly documented. The focus has shifted to maintaining the integrity of the sealed compartments.
-
-
Spot Checks for Assay:
-
Small samples of gold have been removed periodically during scheduled audits to test purity, as noted by the U.S. Mint. These samples are minimal and don’t involve a full inventory, aligning with the Treasury’s claim that “no gold has been transferred to or from the Depository for many years” except for these tests.
-
-
Documentation Review:
-
The annual process likely includes reconciling the Mint’s inventory records against the Treasury’s books, ensuring the reported 147.3 million ounces at Fort Knox (valued at the statutory $42.22 per ounce) matches historical data. This is more an accounting exercise than a physical audit.
-
-
Bessent’s statement aligns with claims from the Treasury’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), such as Eric M. Thorson’s 2011 congressional testimony, where he asserted that 100% of the gold in Mint custody has been inventoried and audited, with seals intact as of 2008. The Treasury maintains that the seal checks suffice as an annual audit because the gold remains under “continuous accountability.”
-
Senators like Rand Paul and researchers like Jan Nieuwenhuijs, argue this isn’t a true audit. They point out that seal checks don’t verify the gold’s presence, weight, or purity—only that the vaults haven’t been opened. Missing audit reports (e.g., seven from 1974–1986, per FOIA findings) and the lack of a modern, independent physical tally fuel doubts about whether all gold is truly accounted for.
-
September 23, 1974 Inspection
-
Following public rumors about missing gold, a delegation including Members of Congress and journalists was allowed into Fort Knox. This event, often mischaracterized as an “audit,” was more of a public reassurance tour. According to the U.S. Mint, the group viewed the gold reserves, but no detailed assay or inventory was conducted beyond checking vault seals later by auditors from the General Accounting Office (GAO) and Treasury.
-
-
August 21, 2017 Visit
-
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) accompanied Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on a tour of Fort Knox during the first Trump administration. This was not an audit but a symbolic visit, the first opening to non-authorized personnel since 1974. McConnell, as a Senator from Kentucky (where Fort Knox is located), was part of a small group that included other officials and staff.
-
This event confirms 1 Senator (McConnell) with documented access, though no auditing occurred—Mnuchin later tweeted that the gold was still there, suggesting a visual check rather than a formal count.
-
-
Senators Denied Access: Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has publicly stated (via X in February 2025) that he repeatedly requested access to Fort Knox as part of his oversight duties but was denied, with the explanation that it’s a military installation. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has similarly claimed he’s been trying for a decade to visit, with a planned trip during Trump’s first term falling through. These denials suggest that access for auditing purposes is tightly controlled and not routinely granted, even to Senators.
-
The last comprehensive audit cited by some sources occurred in 1953, with only a 10% spot-check of the gold. No Senators are explicitly noted as participating in that process—it was conducted by Treasury officials. The 1974 event followed, and subsequent “audits” have been internal seal checks by the U.S. Mint, not involving Congressional oversight.

Howard Lutnick Shares Trump’s Plan To Ax IRS And Shift Tax Burden To ‘Outsiders’
- U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick talked about President Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a step toward tax reductions.
- Trump’s vision, Lutnick said on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” hinges on eliminating the IRS to shift the tax burden from American shoulders to foreign entities and companies operating under non-U.S. flags, such as cruise ships and supertankers that currently bypass U.S. taxes by registering in countries like Liberia or Panama. He also pointed out similar practices in the alcohol industry, where foreign products enter the U.S. market tax-free.
- “His goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all the outsiders pay. I mean, this is someone who is focused on America. Let’s drive down our waste, foreign abuse,” Lutnick told Watters.

Paging DOGE: Study Finds 28% Spike In Corruption When Feds Shower Local Governments In Cash
- , a new study reveals that sudden surges of federal money – so-called “windfalls” – increase local corruption by up to 28%. This research underscores the urgent need for stringent oversight mechanisms, particularly at the federal level, to ensure these funds serve their intended purpose rather than lining the pockets of corrupt officials.
- Federal Windfalls: A Breeding Ground for Corruption
- The study reveals that local governments experiencing sudden increases in federal grants witness a 28% rise in corruption-related charges. This trend is not surprising given that rapid financial expansion often outpaces the development of adequate oversight structures.
- To combat the corruption linked to federal windfalls, policymakers must strengthen oversight at multiple levels:
- Enhance Federal Oversight: Agencies like DOGE should increase their scrutiny of windfall grants, particularly in municipalities with a history of financial mismanagement.
- Mandate Independent Federal Audits: Rather than relying on local and state audits, federal agencies should conduct independent, randomized audits to deter misconduct.
- Strengthen State Fraud Detection: States should require their auditors to hold CFE credentials and allocate more resources to fraud detection.
- Support Local Journalism: Given its deterrent effect, federal and state governments should explore initiatives to sustain local investigative journalism.
Its interesting that the study didn’t mention getting rid of the federal reserve.

‘Pure Evil’: Hamas Hands Over Remains of Dead Israeli Mother, Toddler & Infant
- four slain Israeli hostages were returned by Hamas, 503 days after they were initially kidnapped in the Oct.7, 2023 raids on southern Israel and massacres.
- “Hamas had said earlier in the week that it was handing over the bodies of Shiri Silberman Bibas, her two young sons Ariel and Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz, who was 83 at the time of his abduction,” Times of Israel writes.

- Ariel and Kfir Bibas were the two youngest hostages taken to Gaza, and were just 4-years old and 9-months old at the time.
- Israeli officials were outraged that as usual, the handover ceremony in Khan Younis was done on a stage covered with propaganda posters. The bodies were transferred to the Red Cross, who then transported the coffins to Israel. All four had been initially taken from Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel.
- It’s unclear how precisely the captives died, also in terms of when or where in captivity, but what’s clear is the young had been taken alive:

Q
- President Donald Trump suggested that the federal government “should take over Washington, D.C.” and govern it, citing how there was “too much crime, too much graffiti” and too many homeless encampments, according to several reports.
- “I think that we should govern the District of Columbia … I think that we should run it strong, run it with law and order, make it absolutely flawless,” Trump was reported as having said, according to the press pool. “And I think we should take over Washington, D.C. We could save people from getting killed. They have a great police department there. Somehow they’re not utilized properly. We should govern D.C. The federal government should take over the governance of D.C. And run it really, really properly.”
Source: breitbart.com
- Yes, Donald Trump, as President of the United States, has certain legal mechanisms available to exert significant control over Washington, D.C., potentially reducing the authority of the mayor, though the extent and practicality of such actions depend on specific circumstances, congressional support, and legal interpretations.
- Washington, D.C., is not a state but a federal district, governed under the U.S. Constitution, which grants Congress ultimate authority over its affairs (Article I, Section 8, Clause 17). The District operates with limited self-governance under the Home Rule Act of 1973, which established an elected mayor and council but preserved congressional oversight. This unique status gives the federal government—and by extension, the president—powers unavailable in states.
- One direct mechanism is the president’s authority under the Home Rule Act to assume “emergency control” of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. This provision allows the president to take over the police force for federal purposes if “special conditions of an emergency nature” exist, initially for up to 48 hours, extendable with congressional approval. Trump considered this in 2020 during protests but did not follow through. The definition of “emergency” is broad, leaving room for presidential discretion, though it’s not a permanent takeover of all city governance.
Many Think Federal Judges Are Abusing Their Authority
- The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 56% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with Arizon Rep. Eli Crane’s statement: “Partisan judges abusing their positions is a threat to democracy.” That includes 35% who Strongly Agree. Thirty-six percent (36%) disagree with the quote from Crane, including 27% who Strongly Disagree. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Trump’s mention of the C&O desk could implicitly contrast his approach with that of recent presidents like Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who both used the Resolute Desk consistently. Since George H.W. Bush was the only president to use the C&O desk in the Oval Office during his term (1989–1993), Trump might be drawing a line to a pre-Clinton era, distancing himself from the intervening Democratic administrations—or even from George W. Bush, who returned to the Resolute Desk.
