News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

"...The QAnon shaman would also print a one-ounce gold coin, valued at $40 trillion, to pay off the country’s debts."
I'd guess he has no case.
He's either a fucking moron or trying to drum up publicity for something.
I'm starting to think the guy that dressed up like a shaman and participated in the insurrection attempt might have a screw loose.
More like, dressed up and called himself a shaman. I don't know any shaman that dresses like that. Then again, I also don't know any shamans..
I do know a shaman. She does not dress like that
Well, she's missing out. Not too many occupations expect you to wear a seriously wicked get up like that!
Not necessarily mutually-exclusive possibilities, I would note.
Trump was claiming that the reason that he wanted to stop minting the penny was because the metal was worth more than the value of the penny (while true, that's not where the real cost of the penny comes from; it's rather from the handling and processing costs). I assume that that was to pander to someone, so I'm wondering if maybe there's a segment of the MAGA crowd that's obsessed with the metal value versus face value of coins.
Whatever happened with that?

Looks like it's going forward. 2026 should be the last year that the US mints the penny.

The hilarious thing is that these MAGA geniuses think that it costs 3.5 cents every time we use a penny, and that is obviously a bad deal, and Libz are too stupid and deliberately wasteful to understand that.
The MAGA Economists haven't figured out that it may cost 3.5 cents to manufacture it, but then it gets used millions of times, so the cost is amortized over those millions of uses, not just one.
The thing that will ultimately save us is MAGA's virtuosic incompetence.
Why not both
