They're up about 0.05 since then, overall. Were even higher yesterday. Trend is upward the past 3 months. That's a VERY bad sign when they are supposed to be going down. People and countries are ditching the dollar. GOP budget is part of the picture, zero doubt.

Did he know she was a spy ahead of time and shared confidential info ?

Yah. No winger would ever bang a hot Chinese woman because there's a chance she could be a spy. Lmao.

It's more than a lagging indicator. The latest GOP budgets greatly increase both the deficit and debt. I doubt the timing was pure coincidence. Soaring bond yields are one of the consequences, which equates to more interest on the debt. Yes, bond yields have been shooting up as of late.

Huh? I'll call you out for that 1st BS claim.. Please provide a reputable source. Unreal. As for the 2nd claim, that's just dumb to make an issue of, unless they were sharing signficant amounts of info. Some hot woman wants to sleep with an average American, many are going to do it, Republican or Democrat.

Well, either way it's stupid then. Glad you can see that. So, let the military and CIA or whoever take care of fighting China and leave our universities out of it.

Yes; the professors are all working for China. The wingers conspiracy theories are crazier by the minute. You can't make this stuff up.

Let our military take care of it; not our professors. Common sense.

Now that's an efficient use of taxpayer dollars. Have our universities fighting against CCP. Hire DOGE to make our govt more efficient but then let's have our universities involved in military tactics. More winger hypocrisy.

What about the CCP? Universities should be fighting the CCP? Are you on crack?

Yeah; because I'm really thinking that our military budget is "flat." Especially with the most recent bills from Congress and Fat Donny. They basically want to hand over even more money to our fat bloated military from much smaller budgets that have already shrunk in recent years.

It's called a typo. meant to say "fat." You should look up what a typo is.

Yes; to help close the budget deficit, at least partially. Combine that with reducing all the extra military fat that we have and cutting social security benefits for the uber-wealthy, along with Medicare. You won't eliminate it completely but at least it will get us part way there. This will restore some faith in the U.S. dollar and our bonds. If you REALLY want to cut the federal budget, you need to go after the BIG programs. You're only paying lip service when you go after small potatoes like DEI, USAID, NPR and Planned Parenthood while you let the bigger programs that make up 95% of the budget to grow uncontrollably.

FAT. Obese, just like Diaper Donald himself.

It's not their job to stop espionage. Espionage can happen virtually anywhere in the country. Making grants to universities (but not corporations or other entities) contingent upon them fighting espionage (besides teaching and research) would be ridiculous. But, I don't put anything such as corruption, extreme hypocrisy or double standards past the wingers nowadays. WE have such a flat/bloated military budget that they should be able to take care of this and still have half of their staff and military contractors being paid to do absolutely nothing.

Then go complain to the California athletic association. This is a state issue. Funny that the wingers constantly whine about "state rights" but that only applies when the states want to do what they want. The hypocrisy of the right stinks to high heaven, over and over.

Well, if you live in California I suggest you write to your governor or the state athletic association expressing your anger over this grave injustice. If you have the spare time to make this a priority in your life

So, if it's done, then why are the wingers still getting their panties in a bundle over this?

...California can go ahead and sign a bill then. Do you live there? I don't, so I'm going not going to try to tell them what to do. I have a niece that swims in California. I'll ask her this upcoming weekend when I see her how many transexual boys she's competing against. I bet the answer is somewhere between zero and none.

Maybe our fat, bloated military that hogs up half of the world's military budget all together while draining hard working U.S. taxpayers needs to start taking responsibility for their own national security instead of blaming universities for their problems. Maybe start by firing the people up top that are sharing military plans on public chatting apps.

I actually agree that transexuals shouldn't be allowed to compete against females. I've acknowledged this many, many times. It happens so infrequently though that it doesn't even come close to deserving 1/100th of the attention that it is getting. I've been officiating five different sports for well over a decade now and I've NEVER seens a transexual trying to compete against girls. Yes, it happens, and that's unfortunate, but nothing that is impating 99.9% of people so it's sad that wingers constantly talk about this like it's a national emergency.

I just think it's so funny that the wingers are just looking nationwide for any tranny competing in some random sporting events somewhere and continuing to make it out to be a national emergency. Anything they find, no matter what level of whatever sport, is the most important thing going on. You can't make this stuff up.

What the hell is the CIF Southern Section Finals? LMAO. The wingers will look under every nook and cranny to find a tranny competing in a girls or woman's sport.

Yup. Dont carre. Auditing them isn't a bad idea anyway so I say go for it. Anybody that is likely to cheat should be fair game for auditing.

Ok. So they may audit tip earners. They certainly give good reason to, since they can do easily cheat too. I don't have a problem with them also auditing groups that can easily cheat, instead of limiting audits only to rich people.
