Solana Cryptocurrency Outlook Post-FTX Bankruptcy
Posted By: Hazymac, 12/29/2022 12:22:32 PM
It doesn’t feel like it was so long ago when we saw Sam Bankman-Fried on the cover of so many magazines touting his plan to donate the majority of his wealth. Many folks considered SBF to be the ultimate “Crypto Robin Hood.” SBF was also pushing many other projects in the cryptocurrency space. One of those secondary ventures he promoted was the Solana blockchain. The Solana blockchain is known for offering a platform with quick transaction times and inexpensive fees. Solana was supposed to be an “Ethereum killer” but that hasn’t happened, and it won’t. Solana saw its native token SOL drop by at least 30% at times

Thinking about cutting back on sweets and hitting the gym as your New Year’s resolution? Well, if you are, you might be a white supremacist.
Okay, not really. Not at all, actually, but according to Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, the author of the book Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America’s Exercise Obsession, which comes out next month, American exercise trends reinforce white supremacy.
Petrzela explains this ridiculousness in an interview with Time Magazine. When asked what the most surprising thing she learned from her research was, she explained that she originally believed concern for fitness was “progressive.” “It was super interesting reading the reflections of fitness enthusiasts

Remember this story the next time your progressive, blue-haired brother-in-law calls you a “racist” for wanting the southern border closed.
WARNING: This story is graphic.
Illegal immigrant Luis Saavedra Villa, a 44-year-old registered sex offender with a history of previous deportations, snuck back into our country and raped an 8-year-old girl in Wyoming.
Villa kidnapped the young girl and brought her to McDonald’s in his truck while her mother was working. He is a known family acquaintance. After their meal, Villa locked the doors of his truck so his young victim couldn’t escape and violently raped the girl. He then forced her to clean her own blood from his truck.

Southwest Airlines has been struggling with a major performance fail since before the Christmas weekend, and Democrat officials are doing what they do best: posturing, sniping, and wasting executives’ and labor leaders’ time when they really need to be focused on operations.
A massive winter storm swept across the country just ahead of the holiday, tangling travel plans and canceling flights. Southwest accounted for more domestic cancellations than all other airlines combined. Besides the challenging weather conditions, Southwest was already grappling with outdated scheduling software, “tripledemic”-caused staffing shortages, federally mandated work limits on an already reduced workforce, and a challenging schedule of short flights with fast turnarounds.
As a consequence, thousands of
The dust of the 2022 midterm contests has barely settled and Democrats — invigorated by the Red Wave that evaporated under extended lax voting policies — are out to make sweeping changes to our nation’s election laws once again.
Think back to 2020, when Democratic governors and unsuspecting Republican lawmakers made unprecedented changes to state election policies in the name of Covid that included mandating universal mail-in balloting and a month of early voting. Some states have kept these changes permanently.
But Democrats are not satisfied, and why should they be? With their gubernatorial power retained (they kept all but one of the governor’s offices) and newfound control of
Our national security is in the best of hands. Not Biden. Maybe whoever in Afghanistan has an eBay account.
German researchers who purchased biometric capture devices on eBay found sensitive US military data stored on their memory cards, The New York Times has reported. That included fingerprints, iris scans, photographs, names and descriptions of the individuals, mostly from Iraq and Afghanistan. Many worked with the US army and could be targeted if the devices fell into the wrong hands, according to the report.
They cost under $200.
Where did it come from before eBay? That’s a good question. And officially there’s no answer. But one seems to have come most recently from Afghanistan.

LGBTQ+++™ Pinocchios Now Claim Male-to-Female

Transgenders Can Get Periods: 'I'm a Real Girl!' 30 replies
Biological assimilation into femininity has long been the final frontier for transgender activists — a Rubicon they had not yet been able to fully cross. Aspirational transgenders can get various sordid surgeries to appear more feminine; they can adopt feminine social roles, but they could never really become fully biologically female.
This nags at the LGBTQ+++™ community something fierce, as biological reality always belies the religious conviction that “transgender women are women,” full-stop. They wish they could menstruate because, like transgender Pinocchios, they want desperately to be real girls, despite the deep-seated and dysphoric knowledge that their goal is impossible.
For instance, transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney explains
It should come as no surprise to Utahns or anyone who identifies as conservative that Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) did not vote along party lines when it came to the $1.7 trillion spending bill/omnibus package. Well, he did vote along party lines, just not the party with which he is affiliated. Romney took to Twitter to explain his rationale: [Tweet] If you couldn’t stand a political version of a time-share pitch, let me summarize it for you:
It would cost less to pass it this year than next.
Republicans aren’t organized enough to get a speaker together, let alone budgets.
They need Senate Democrats to pass a budget, anyway.
Sure, $1.7 trillion sounds like
Ex-con “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli offered some jailhouse wisdom to alleged crypto conman Sam Bankman-Fried if he ends up going to prison: Shave your head and brush up on rap lyrics.
Shkreli, who served five years in federal prison after being convicted of securities fraud in 2017, said Bankman-Fried needs to change his appearance if he is to survive being locked up.
To do that, Shkreli suggested the 30-year-old fallen crypto whiz kid shave off his wild hair and deepen his voice to fit into the “very testosterone-filled, masculine place.”
“Sam is going to have a lot of issues because he is a bit of an effeminate guy and his demeanor —
The proliferation of pro-crime bail funds that seek to free criminals in states and municipalities that haven’t followed New York’s footsteps in eliminating bail has led to a lot of misery and suffering.
But then one man did something about it.
He stood up and fought back against the millionaire pro-crime lobby responsible. And he won a partial victory.
This is a David vs. Goliath story. The media would love if it weren’t Goliath. That’s one reason this is hardly getting any coverage.
"The Bail Project posted a $3,000 bond for Rashawn Gaston-Anderson in December of 2021. Six days later, he opened fire on a restaurant worker in Chinatown and shot him 11 times.
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Amid death threats and sudden global infamy, accused FTX fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried and his parents have turned their posh Stanford home into a heavily guarded fortress.
The family is shelling out roughly $10,000 a week to have a private Bay Area security firm patrol the leafy, 3,000-square-foot residence with several armed guards working around the clock, sources told The Post.
“They’re nervous,” one source said. “There have been death threats. They’re not taking any chances.”
Bankman-Fried threw cryptocurrency into chaos with the collapse of his FTX exchange, which came amid federal prosecutors investigating his alleged illegal use of investors’ money to prop up his Alameda hedge fund.

Pondering the end of the world turns out to be a 21st century preoccupation. Doomsday has never seemed nearer than now. “Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime … The general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be artificial intelligence. Only 3% of Britons thought the end would be caused by the Last Judgement. People who proclaim they ‘trust the science’ are especially sunk in gloom. For example Greta Thunberg’s message to young people is ‘you are not going to reach adulthood because of climate change’. Greta famously wrote,

DENVER – The City of Denver has spent more than $1.5 million on all aspects of sheltering arriving migrants since the first week of December and is on track to spend $3 million by the end of the month, according to city leaders. “This has been extremely taxing on city resources. We are not a border community. We don't have federal resources like border communities do. So, the help that we can provide in Denver is very limited. And we're at the point where we're not able to sustain much longer. We're at our breaking point,” said Mikayla Ortega, Denver

Trump’s Tax Returns Resulting in One

The corrupt Democrats in the House just destroyed President Trump’s right to privacy and released President Trump’s tax returns moments ago. Unfortunately, they failed again in their goal and only proved their contempt for the US Constitution.
What a disgusting pack of jackals the Pelosi gang is. They have no regard for the law, the US Constitution, or decency.
Moments ago the Dems released President Trump’s taxes to their media.
CNN, the Democrats’ favorite news source, shared the news:
Why do they do it? Who needs to lie like this? I am thinking, of course, of Representative elect George Santos. But also of the whole lot of them. Of politicians as a species. Why do they feel the need to make stuff up?
It must be admitted that Santos is emerging as the undisputed top of his class of fibsters. To date he claims to have attended a prestigious Bronx prep school which has no record of him ever being there. He claims to have graduated from Baruch College, despite never having enrolled there. He claims to have worked for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs but never did.
Starting Jan. 1, many Americans will qualify for a tax credit of up to $7,500 for buying an electric vehicle. The credit, part of changes enacted in the Inflation Reduction Act, is designed to spur EV sales and reduce greenhouse emissions.
But a complex web of requirements, including where vehicles and batteries must be manufactured to qualify, is casting doubt on whether anyone can receive the full $7,500 credit next year.
For at least the first two months of 2023, though, a delay in the Treasury Department’s rules for the new benefit will likely make the full credit temporarily available to consumers who meet certain income and price limits.
A federal judge seated in Montana, The Honorable Donald W. Molloy, recently ruled that “public safety” trumps individual autonomy over what gets injected into your body.
Via PBS:
A person’s choice to decline vaccinations does not outweigh public health and safety requirements in medical settings, a federal judge ruled in a Montana case.
U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy last week permanently blocked a section of law the state said was meant to prevent employers — including many health care facilities — from discriminating against workers by requiring them to be vaccinated against communicable diseases, including COVID-19.
“The public interest in protecting the general populace against vaccine-preventable diseases in health care settings
When the 2020 presidential campaign was lurching into gear three years ago, former Vice President Joe Biden had led in the polls for months. Still, everyone kind of assumed he was a placeholder, a former office-holder with high name recognition whose campaign would nevertheless go the way of his two previous presidential bids, meaning nowhere. He was dull as dishwater compared to many of the others vying for the nomination, and nobody had ever really considered him presidential timber. As the campaign took off, other candidates were winning in the early states even as Biden still led in national polls.
This is either a bizarre coincidence or evidence that a Narrative™ decree has gone out.
(No, I don’t think there are actual decrees…mostly).
Yesterday I wrote a piece about Scientific American’s rather odd republishing through tweet of an article originally published in 2020. In it, the author argued that the medical establishment and our society as a whole stigmatizes obesity because Black women are the most obese demographic in America. People can be “healthy at any size,” and focusing on obesity as a health problem is racist.
Now one day later Time Magazine is promoting an article that argues that exercise has White supremacist roots.

Tolerance is a good thing in most aspects of life. But when it comes to the immune system, artificially juicing up the body to create antibodies with long-term tolerance to a pathogen is a recipe for disaster. Amid thousands of papers on COVID and the vaccines, a new German paper published in Science Immunology should be the headline story this week. Although the subject matter is very dense, the implication of it is that the Pfizer shots (and possibly other mRNA spike protein shots) caused the immune system to misfire, thereby creating an endless feedback loop of viral immune escape, perpetuating the pandemic in the macro,
A conservative commentator has warned electric vehicle drivers in Los Angeles that charging stations for their $60,000 cars are littered with homeless encampments.
Alexandra Datig shared a video of her driving in downtown LA on Wednesday, with one of the local Blink EV charging stations surrounded by trash and tents.
'When you live in Los Angeles, it's better to have a charging station at home for that $60,000 EV,' Datig wrote on Twitter.
'The closer you get to downtown, the charging stations have homeless 'attendants' who live on the same sidewalk as the stations.'
The House Ways and Means Committee released a partially redacted version of former President Trump's tax returns Friday, completing a longtime objective of Democrats to make Trump's finances public after the former president unsuccessfully tried to stop them in court.
The financial documents cover six years of Trump's individual returns filed jointly with his wife, Melania, including his time in the White House. The document dump also includes tax forms for several of Trump's business entities that were investigated by Ways and Means Democrats, a report from the Democratic majority, and a response by Republicans on the committee.

In another Lucy and Charlie Brown football scenario, the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act that they claimed would help Americans and not raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year could reportedly cost taxpayers in excess of $20 billion in new taxes.
President Biden made a production out of signing the act in August which allegedly introduced $473 billion in new spending wasted on climate and healthcare. But any illusion that it would reduce inflation is about to be blown away.
Middle America will indeed pay new taxes regardless of what Biden and the Democrats claimed to sell them.
Republicans warned that the bill would raise taxes on Americans
The two agencies’ responses to the curious case of their former person of interest, identified in photo No 16 in an FBI list of people whom the feds wanted to identify, provided more fodder for speculation after the select committee investigating the January 6 riot outright denied he was a federal agent or informant.
“Mr. Epps informed us that he was not employed by, working with, or acting at the direction of any law enforcement agency on January 5th or 6th or at any other time, and that he has never been an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency,” a select committee spokesperson said.
