The purpose of these investigation and talking about the Epstein issue day in and day out is to keep the eyes of the public away from the gas prices, eggs prices, the inflation, the unemployment, the illegal migrants with criminal background and deportation.

Osaka..

An anonymous donor has given 21 kilograms of gold bullion, worth about $3.6 million, to the city of Osaka. The donor asked that the gift be used only for water and drainage works. 

City officials said the gold was delivered last November and formally accepted after internal checks. The donation was made without conditions and with a clear request for anonymity.

Failures are becoming more frequent. City leaders say the donation arrives at a critical moment.

Osaka Mayor Hideyuki Yokoyama said the scale of the donation was unlike anything the city had seen before.

“I was honestly lost for words,” he told reporters. “Repairing ageing water pipes requires enormous funding. This support is deeply appreciated.”

The mayor confirmed that the city would fully respect the donor’s wish to remain unnamed. He added that all procedures would follow municipal and national rules.

Pass-Port..

 

Bien-Aime, who is originally from Haiti and was naturalized in 2006, was elected mayor of North Miami in 2019. He resigned in 2022 to run for a seat on the Miami-Dade County Commission, but lost the election.

In a civil complaint reviewed by NBC News and NBC Miami, the DOJ claims Bien-Aime first entered the United States in 1997 using a fraudulent, “photo-switched” passport under the name Jean Philippe Janvier.

In July 31, 2000, an immigration judge determined he entered the country fraudulently and ordered him removed to Haiti, according to the complaint. He appealed the removal order at the time, but later withdrew the appeal, representing that he had returned to live in Haiti. But federal authorities allege he never went back to Haiti and instead remained in the United States under the name Philippe Bien-Aime.

Department of Homeland Security records — including fingerprint comparisons — show that the person who naturalized as Philippe Bien-Aime is the same individual who was previously ordered removed from the United States under the name Philippe Janvier, according to the complaint.

Comment:

Does this action make illegal activity, illegal? Just a thought.

Loophole..

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on Thursday proposed a rule requiring every resident in HUD-funded housing to provide proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status, a move the agency said would close what it called a long-standing loophole in public housing programs.

For too long, illegals and ineligibles have taken spots in public housing through the mixed-status roommate loophole, while Americans were forced to wait,” Turner said in a statement. “We have zero tolerance for pushing aside hardworking U.S. citizens while enabling others to exploit decades-old loopholes.”

HUD said the proposed rule would require documentation from all residents, regardless of age, and would remove provisions that allow individuals to decline to submit verification or continue receiving assistance indefinitely despite ineligible status. 

The agency said it expects the change could redirect up to $218 million in housing assistance to eligible households currently on waiting lists.

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

, commonly known as The Wealth of Nations, is a foundational work of classical economics published by Scottish philosopher Adam Smith on March 9, 1776. 

It is widely considered the "bible of capitalism," as it provided the first comprehensive system of political economy and established economics as a modern academic discipline. 

The book introduces several revolutionary concepts that still underpin modern economic thought: 

• The Invisible Hand: Smith's most famous metaphor, suggesting that individuals pursuing their own self-interest unintentionally promote the good of society through market competition.
• Division of Labor: Smith argued that breaking production into specialized tasks (using his famous pin factory example) drastically increases productivity.
• Free Markets (Laissez-faire): He advocated for minimal government intervention in the economy, suggesting that markets are self-regulating through supply and demand.
• Critique of Mercantilism: Smith attacked the then-prevalent view that a nation's wealth was measured by its gold and silver reserves. Instead, he argued that wealth is the total production of goods and services (equivalent to modern GDP).

Originally published in two volumes, the treatise consists of five individual books:
