First, preseason hurricane forecasting is based on numerous assumptions about weather patterns and oceans temps, etc. It’s not necessarily surprising that after numerous years of elevated activity forecasters generally errored to the upside this year. With that said, there are a few remarkable aspects to this hurricane season that pertain to a topic I’ve long discussed as being overly discounted i...

Interview: TrumpCare - Senator Rick Scott's Fix For The Broken Healthcare System

An estimated 187,291 pages of recovered and investigative material from local authorities on Palm Beach, to federal authorities in D.C. with what’s been investigated by those in congressional committees and attorneys for related parties. Sounds like a fun quick read, right? And that’s some of the irony here. Even if “all” of those docs are released – no one is actually going to read all of them......

Over the weekend something happened that needed to happen. The band-aid was ripped off the stitched together and increasingly frayed relationship between President Trump and Marjorie Taylor Green.

14,200 fewer drug overdose deaths through the first two months of President Trump’s campaign projects to greater than 85,000 fewer lives lost to illicit drugs over a full year. There’s been much debate about the legality of the president’s campaign, whether it’s warranted, etc. These remarkable early figures speak for themselves.  

It was a wild ride for the major indexes in effectively ending the week where they started, but that’s essentially what happened. A significant early week relief rally on news of a deal to end the longest partial government shutdown in history gave way to significant selling of big tech/AI names as concerns of a potential bubble with related companies led to a short-lived selloff that abated by th...

They need us just as much as we need them. 

For 43 days 34% of the federal government was offline and the impact on the average American remained...absolutely nothing. In the end only about 27% of Americans felt a direct impact from the longest federal government shutdown in American history that proved to be every bit as stupid as every shutdown before it because we’re exactly where we were before, which has always been the case when these...

You’ve raised a great point that dates back to the original Barrack Obama lie that under the “Affordable Care Act”, “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor and if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan”. The first of many lies made by President Obama and Democrats was so pervasive, Politifact cited 37 times Obama made that statement publicly in attempting to ra...
