FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIR POWELL’S DOME
Cartoon published 06/20/2025
“… Powell is the WORST. A real dummy who’s costing America $Billions!”
— President Donald Trump
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell made his decision: Short term rates would not be cut. That decision greatly displeased President Trump, who said inflation has dropped and so should the rates. Trump said, “Europe has had 10 cuts; we have had none.”
The president knows a rate cut will help our economy and he suspects Powell has allowed partisan politics to influence his rate decision. He may be right — The Federal Reserve (neither Federal nor a Reserve) is on the side of the Swamp, not MAGA. To fully drain the swamp, Trump might have to end the Fed—if he can get Congress to go along.
The Federal Reserve was originally created to prevent economic bubbles and busts, but they failed. In reality they created booms and busts and each time the elite super rich got super richer. The Fed is an independent entity which claims to benefit the public, but their inflation stole from citizens while debt dollars demand repayment. That’s why the IRS was created. Citizens, under threat of prison, are forced to use up countless and incriminating man hours filling out confusing tax forms in order to give away huge chunks of their time and labor. The Fed system does not benefit citizens at all—it enslaves them.
The Federal Reserve loves to proclaim their independence when politicians complain. That independence is like a ‘golden dome’ that deflects criticism and prevents change.
Trump can at least audit the Fed and Fort Knox, but the Federal Reserve and IRS need to end once and for all. Trump can help make that happen.
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.

China has switched on what it describes as the world’s first underwater data center directly powered by offshore wind.
Located off the coast of Shanghai in the Lin-gang Special Area, the Shanghai Lingang Undersea Data Center combines offshore wind power with computing infrastructure beneath the sea. The first phase is now operating at 2.3 megawatts, while the project is planned to eventually reach 24 megawatts.
One of the most interesting parts isn’t the servers themselves — it’s how the facility stays cool.
Instead of relying on conventional freshwater-based cooling systems, the underwater modules use the surrounding seawater as a natural heat sink. A copper-pipe heat-exchange system transfers heat away from the equipment, and developers say the approach can reduce electricity consumption by 22.8%.
The project is also connected directly to offshore wind power. More than 95% of its electricity is expected to come from renewable sources, according to project officials.
The first phase includes a...
