The post First T-38 Talcom. View of a U. S. Air Force Northrop T-38 Talon jet trainer. Bettmann Archive Even as the United States Air Force expects the T-7A Red Hawk to enter service in 2028, after the first aircraft arrives at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, the service will continue to ensure that its aging Northrop T-38 Talons will remain in operation as the primary fixed-wing aircraft for advanced jet pilot training for years to come. The Air Force announced that the first Talon arrived at Fleet Readiness Center Southeast in Jacksonville, Florida, on Monday for overhaul and repair as part of the Talon Repair, Inspection, and Maintenance program. The TRIM program is the Air Force’s repair initiative charged with inspecting aging aircraft and replacing structural components as necessary. Each aircraft will receive more than 6, 000 hours of maintenance before being returnee to their home units. The goal is to get an additional five to 10 years out of the aircraft until the Red Hawk fleet is in the nest. Old Aircraft, But Still Flying The twin-engine, high-altitude, supersonic jet trainer continues to prepare pilots to fly front-line fighter and bomber aircraft. Nearly 1, 200 were built between 1961 and 1972, and approximately 567 are still flying. Most, if not all, of those aircraft are likely older than the pilots being trained on them, and the Talons are possibly older than many of the pilots’ parents! More than 72, 000 US Air Force pilots have trained on the Talon, which has undergone numerous upgrades over its more than six decades in service. The Air Education and Training Command began receiving the T-38C models in 2001 as part of the Air Force’s Avionics Upgrade Program, which outfitted the Talons with many of the features found in modern jets and bombers, including a heads-up display, GPS, and an inertial.

Citi Wealth chief bullish as top tech stocks pull back

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The post Citi Wealth chief bullish as top tech stocks pull back appeared com. Citigroup’s wealth-management division is maintaining a cautiously optimistic view on the long-term prospects of the tech sector. Head of Wealth at Citi, Andy Sieg says the bull market still looks strong because investors remain calm, even as the stocks of big tech companies decline. The S&P 500 is down approximately 2% this month, and investors have begun questioning AI company stocks due to their unstable prices. Big tech companies lost value, and Nvidia initially rose, but then dropped before things improved slightly. The backdrop for Citi’s cautious optimism is a sharp downturn in major tech names this month. The S&P 500 is down nearly 4. 4%, on pace for its worst November since 2008, as AI-related stocks undergo a broad reassessment. Nvidia, once a poster child for the AI boom, has fallen around 11% in November, despite delivering strong quarterly earnings. Other heavyweight tech names are under pressure too Microsoft and Amazon declined following downgrades and mounting concerns over lofty valuations. On November 19, the S&P 500 recorded its fourth straight session of losses, slipping 0. 8%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 1. 2%, highlighting just how much investor sentiment has turned. Citi Wealth is growing because rich clients are putting in more new money than ever before Andy Sieg said many rich clients don’t want to lose money now that the market is uncertain, so they use investment products like structured notes to prevent big losses and still make a profit. He explained that the bull market still has room to grow because investors aren’t buying stocks recklessly just because the prices have dropped, as expected when a market boom comes to an end. Sieg joined Citi in 2023 from the Bank of America and wants the bank to stop focusing on simply giving business loans and turn towards helping clients grow and.

Congressman from Ohio introduces bill to allow federal tax payments in bitcoin

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The post Congressman com. One of the crypto industry’s longtime Republican allies in Congress introduced a bill to allow individuals and businesses to pay taxes in bitcoin BTC$84,478. 06 without triggering capital gains liability and also directing the funds to the U. S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve providing a new funding mechanism for the federal crypto stockpile that hasn’t yet been established. Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) introduced the Bitcoin for America Act to allow Americans to pay federal taxes in bitcoin, he said on his official website on Thursday. Davidson, a bitcoin advocate since 2012, said the bill is aimed at strengthening the country’s economy and positioning it at the forefront of global digital asset leadership. “The Bitcoin for America Act marks an important step toward modernizing our financial systems and embracing the innovation that millions of Americans already use every day,” he said in a statement. “By allowing taxpayers to pay federal taxes in bitcoin and having the proceeds placed into the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the nation will benefit by having a tangible asset that appreciates in value over time unlike the U. S. dollar, which has steadily lost value under inflationary pressures,” he stated. He said in a talk with the Bitcoin Policy Institute, a research organization advocating BTC, that he regrets Congress did not listen to him back in 2016 when BTC was around $500 to $600. “Think about the upside in terms of what it could do for a country that’s $38 trillion in debt,” the congressman said. “The Bitcoin for America Act proves that a strategic Bitcoin reserve doesn’t need to be a top-down mandate,” said Conner Brown, Head of Strategy at BPI. “By letting Americans voluntarily contribute bitcoin through their tax payments, it creates the first truly democratic, market-driven model for national bitcoin accumulation.” President Donald Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Trump cuts tariffs in bid to slash consumer prices

The post Trump cuts tariffs in bid to slash consumer prices appeared com. U. S. President Donald Trump gestures during an announcement from the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington, D. C., U. S., Oct. 23, 2025. Jonathan Ernst | Reuters President Donald Trump on Friday exempted key agricultural imports like coffee, cocoa, bananas and certain beef products from his higher tariff rates. The move comes as Trump faces political blowback for high prices at U. S. grocery stores. Some distributors of beef, coffee, chocolate and other common food items have raised prices as Trump’s tariffs took hold this year, adding to pressure on household budgets created by decades-high inflation in recent years. Trump’s action Friday also exempts a range of fruits including tomatoes, avocados, coconuts, oranges and pineapples. Along with coffee, the tariff reductions extend to black and green tea, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The move marks a reversal for Trump, who has insisted tariffs are necessary to protect U. S. businesses and workers. He has contended U. S. consumers will not ultimately pay for the higher duties. The exemptions come just a day after Trump reached trade framework agreements with four Latin American countries including 10% tariffs on most goods from Argentina, Guatemala, and El Salvador, and 15% from Ecuador. It also removes duties specifically on products not grown or produced in the U. S. in sufficient quantities, like bananas and coffee. Rising food prices have hampered U. S. households for several years. Consumer Price Index data show food-at-home prices increased approximately 2. 7% year-over-year in September. (More recent data was delayed because of the government shutdown). The tariff exemptions aim to help moderate these grocery price increases, although experts caution that other factors such as global supply shortages also influence prices, especially for coffee and beef. Here’s more background on how industries like beef, coffee and cocoa have reacted to tariffs and rising prices. Beef A customer shops for meat at a.

Short-Term Bitcoin Holders Exit as Long-Term Distribution Continues

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The post Short-Term Bitcoin Holders Exit as Long-Term Distributicom. Short-term Bitcoin holders have transferred 29, 400 BTC to exchanges at a loss, intensifying concerns about downward pressure on the cryptocurrency. The recent sell-off coincides with substantial distribution from long-term holders. These seasoned investors have offloaded approximately 815, 000 BTC over the past month. This marks the highest distribution level since January 2024, adding complexity to current market dynamics. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $96,627, suggesting a 6. 11% decline in the last 24 hours. Contrary to alarming narratives suggesting coordinated dumping, the data indicate standard bull-market behavior. On-chain metrics indicate that long-term holders have consistently realized profits throughout this cycle. Their activity mirrors patterns observed in previous bull runs. By late August, profit-taking had reached levels comparable to prior cycle peaks. Whale wallets aged seven years or older show interesting spending patterns. These addresses, which process more than 1, 000 BTC per hour, exhibit regular and evenly spaced transactions. The frequency suggests a persistent, staggered distribution rather than panic selling. Bitcoin holders realized net profits of $3. 0 billion on November 7. This figure aligns with October’s profit levels, indicating continued strength among holders. Net realized losses remain virtually nonexistent, suggesting holders have not capitulated. Critical Support Levels and Market Structure Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, highlighted that investors who bought Bitcoin six to twelve months ago have a cost basis near $94,000. Ju stated the bear cycle cannot be confirmed unless Bitcoin loses that level. He advocates for patience rather than premature conclusions. Alex Adler identified two key correction levels: $87,000 and $74,000. The $87,000 mark derives from a. Continue reading Short-Term Bitcoin Holders Exit as Long-Term Distribution Continues→
