Every once in a while, a revolutionary patriot answers the call to defend the American way of life.

…who abolished the central bank for robbing the American people. Jackson warned “The bank is trying to kill me” – and just 2 years later, an assassin proved him right by trying to gun him down.

…who dared to bypass the Fed with Executive Order 11110. Just 5 months later, Dealey Plaza ran red with the blood of the last president brave enough to issue debt-free currency.

Coincidence? Well, I’ll leave that to you…

But since 2016, that patriot has been Donald Trump…

…the only president of my lifetime to see a sniper’s bullet kiss his ear…

And still have the balls to call out the Fed’s destruction of the dollar.

Now, I stood beside Trump at his wedding to Melania, held him when we buried both of his parents…

And fought alongside him as Permanent Washington desperately tried to crucify him with their laws and lawfare.

And here’s something I came to realize:

Still, I’ve never seen him face odds this overwhelming.

You see, Xi Jinping has assembled a new “Axis of Evil” hell-bent on dismantling the US dollar.

Meanwhile, the globalist-infested Federal Reserve is rotting our currency from within through punishing interest rates and reckless money printing.

Sadly, nobody but President Trump seems to care that this pincer attack on the dollar could vaporize your retirement savings and wreck the American Dream for millions.

And the timing of this attack is genius…

Because if the dollar continues to lose value, they’ll conveniently blame your shrinking IRA and 401(k) savings on Trump’s America First policies.

It’s diabolical.

That’s why patriots like you must know:

Every time bankers and foreign enemies forged an unholy ideological alliance to reset America…

There’s been only one asset they couldn’t destroy or manipulate.

President Trump has been quietly stockpiling it since 1974, when it became legal to do so…

JFK understood its wealth-preserving power too, especially in the months leading up to his death…

And Andrew Jackson supported it when he famously declared: “Ours was intended to be a hard money government.”

This bulletproof asset is physical gold…

And 5,000 years after humans first traded in it…

And now thanks to the “401(k) Freedom Loophole” left open by President Trump…

You too can protect your IRA and 401(k) with real, tangible gold – 100% tax-free and penalty-free.

MercadoLibre misses profit estimates as Brazil free-shipping boost hurts margins

By Andre Romani

SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Latin American e-commerce giant MercadoLibre on Monday posted a 1.5% dip in its second-quarter net profit from a year earlier, missing analysts’ estimates, as increased free shipping in Brazil drove sales up but also hit margins.

MercadoLibre, Latin America’s largest company by market value, reported net income of 3 million for the quarter through the end of June, below the 6 million expected by analysts in an LSEG poll.

MercadoLibre, based in Uruguay, operates an e-commerce platform and the fintech Mercado Pago, selling in nearly 20 countries throughout Latin America.

Net revenue of .8 billion was up 34% year-on-year, beating the estimate of .7 billion, with sales measured by gross merchandise value rising 37% on a forex-neutral basis.

In early June, MercadoLibre cut the threshold for purchases eligible for free shipping in Brazil, after also lowering shipping costs for companies and users selling on its platform in May, amid fierce competition in the country’s e-commerce segment.

Brazil, the firm’s main market, together with Mexico helped MercadoLibre to increase total items sold by 31% in the quarter, the fastest pace year-on-year since mid-2021.

However, that also hurt margins, said Chief Financial Officer Martin de los Santos.

“We don’t want to miss the growth opportunities ahead of us,” he said in an interview. “That might generate some structural margin pressure, but we are very optimistic about the long-term trajectory of our profitability.”

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reached a record high of 5 million, but also missed the 9 million forecast. The EBIT margin stood at 12.2%, down from 14.3% a year earlier.

The CFO said that among the main impacts on margins were investments in free shipping and related marketing, and growth in its so-called 1P business, which sells directly to customers.

MercadoLibre’s fintech arm grew its credit portfolio by 91% to .3 billion, while the 15-to-90-day default ratio fell 1.5 percentage points to 6.7%, the lowest since it started to release the figure seven years ago, the CFO said.
