Trump $250 Bill in Works to Coincide with
America's 250th Birthday, And It Would
Be Legal Tender

Original Article

If lawmakers get their way, President Donald Trump’s face will be on a special piece of legal tender to celebrate America’s quarter-millennial anniversary — and, as with all things Trump-related, it’ll be yuge. A bill introduced by GOP Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina and cosponsored by 13 other Republicans would put Trump’s face on a $250 bill minted in 2026 for America’s 250th birthday. And, while the legislation was initially introduced in February without much movement on it recently, both the co-sponsors and the president himself are giving H.R. 1761 — the “Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act” — a renewed push in the media.

Given that the mo ey has been massively inflated, today's $100 will buy what $10 bill would buy when I first got into the workplace. We need bigger bills, for certain. I'd hope for a $500 bill.

I hope it passes since inflation has reduced the dollar's buying power. But Democrats, who might otherwise go along with it, will oppose it even if Trump's face was not on it, because TDS makes them oppose anything Trump is for, even if Democrats were once for it.

I definitely want one, and as previously pointed out, is the perfect troll for the left. Trump's mug shot would be the perfect portrait. That said, I'm perfectly fine with a 250$ bill. I am uncomfortable with changing the law allowing living past and living presidents. Soooooo the next demicrat regime will replace Washington, Jefferson and Jackson with Clinton, Obama and Biden.

Suits me. Here in the South, a lot of older people think the two dollar bill is unlucky. A retired bank president friend of mine said his customers didn't want them but the bank was required to receive a certain number from the Fed. He said that they could even try to hide them in the cash a merchant would withdraw for their daily business and they would bring them back when they found them.

It make "Financial" sense... Issued in a single year, as a commemorative Bill, but marked as Legal Tender..the majority will be purchased and HELD as "Uncirculated" by collectors, not spent. Much in the way of stamps, those 50 state quarters, and other coins/bills, are big "Profit" projects for the issuing nation, people pay full price for them, but never redeem them. I don't know about the picture on it being Trump, just his signature is likely sufficient, though maybe an image of both him and Washington would be OK, and dampen a bit of the Dems "Poutrage", or at least it's effect. It would REALLY take off if it was "Backed by Gold", essentially a "Paper Krugerrand", $BIIILIONS worth would be purchased, perhaps $Trillions, most held by collectors/investors, used in private transactions, but rarely returned to he Govt or made into "Change" of other currency denominations, it could go a looooong way towards reducing the National Debt, with that additional interest reductions compounding the benefits.

An activist and self-described 2028 presidential candidate is offering free homes for his allies to move to a GOP-leaning Texas county and change its electoral makeup to support — as he puts it — “melanated people” like himself. Malcolm Tanner has declared his plans to radically change the government of Loving County by the 2026 midterm elections in social media posts first reported by The Houston Chronicle. Tanner promises to root out “corruption” in the oil-rich, majority-white county on behalf of his group, Melanated People of Power.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un displayed a new long-range intercontinental ballistic missile at a military parade in Pyongyang that included foreign leaders on Friday. The yet-to-be-tested Hwasong-20 was described by the state-owned Korean Central News Agency as having the “most powerful nuclear strategic weapons system.” The government also displayed shorter-range ballistic, cruise and supersonic missiles at the military parade, which marked 80 years since the founding of the Worker’s Party. Kim said at the parade that the military “must continue to evolve into an invincible force that eliminates all threats.” The foreign dignitaries at the parade included

It can now be revealed that the Afghan migrant who threatened to kill Nigel Farage already has an extensive criminal history in Sweden, including knife offences, offences against women, and a pending case for alleged child pornography. The Southwark Crown Court found 26-year-old Fayaz Khan, also known as Fayaz Hosseini and his internet handle Madapasa, guilty of threatening to kill Nigel Farage. The jury returned a unanimous verdict after two days of deliberation. Khan also pleaded guilty to entering the country illegally.

The Trump administration’s approval of a Qatari air force base in Idaho isn’t popular with either of America’s political parties. Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the forthcoming Qatari Emiri Air Force facility in America’s heartland Friday morning, thanking the Middle Eastern nation for playing a “core part” in negotiating the ceasefire between Israel and Palestine. Mountain Home Air Force Base will host Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots, and allow Qatari forces alongside American troops for F-15 pilot training.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that while corporate officials have been mum on the chain's policy, multiple employees at stores in south and central Florida have confirmed that open carry is now allowed after a state appellate court ruled the state's ban violated the Second Amendment. Several other chains, however, are still prohibiting the practice.

Democrats aren't even hiding it anymore. They're openly threatening to weaponize the government against Donald Trump and anyone who dares stand with him if they manage to claw their way back into power next year. This isn't speculation or paranoia. They're saying the quiet part out loud, and we'd better start taking them seriously. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just laid it all out there during an MSNBC interview while reacting to the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James by a grand jury on mortgage fraud charges. His message: if Democrats win the midterm elections, Trump and his allies are in their crosshairs,

Donald Trump began his promised mass purge of federal workers Friday, as more than 4,100 people were laid off as the government shutdown rolls on. The president previewed the pink slips in a press conference in the Oval Office earlier Friday, blaming them and the shutdown on the Democrats. 'It'll be a lot and it'll be Democrat-oriented because we figure they started this thing. It'll be a lot of people, all because of the Democrats,' Trump said. It's the biggest set of firings in government since Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) purge early in Trump's second term.

The cost for that Disney magic is going up. Walt Disney World has confirmed that it is raising prices on its theme park tickets, annual passes, and on some annual pass renewals. Disney World previously implemented "dynamic pricing," which means daily tickets to its theme parks vary by theme park, day, and demand. That will continue. Beginning during the 2026 holiday season, Disney confirmed that the highest ticket price point – only on its busiest days – could top $200 per person for a one-park, one-day ticket.

October is a month for political surprises, it’s been said. But one turn of events this month was not the least bit shocking. We’ve been following the flameout of the electric vehicle for years. It was quite predictable. Up until Oct. 1, Americans could reel in generous federal subsidies in exchange for buying an electric vehicle. A new EV or plug-in hybrid pulled down a $7,500 tax credit. A used EV or plug-in got $4,000. Now those subsidies are gone, thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, and EV sales are expected
