Thank you and good luck. Gracias and buena suerte. Merci and bonne chance.

This week we look at Donald Trump's stumbles literally and figuratively. Tariffs aren't covering our spending, we have an immigration flip flop within a week, and we seem to be in a new war this weekend. Meanwhile, it seems our purchasing power is being stolen quite rapidly despite what the government is telling us officially. Another green energy company files for bankruptcy and rich Amer...

Today we discuss gold, inflation, and what we can learn from two senoritas.

We look back at the biggest breakup of egos since the Beatles. Walmart is raising their always low prices, and Scott Bessent is having to do card tricks in the treasury department. Meanwhile the AI boom is promising us 25 new Hoover Dams in 18 months while Germany deals with the reality of their false projections, and Ukraine waits for the Russian retaliation that is coming from last Sunday's...

Today we discuss the current state of the energy industry and how major changes could be the next catalyst for inflation.

Today we look at the worsening US/China trade relations, the TACO trade hitting Wall Street, and why there is one man in control in Ukraine. We then offer a little insight to what is coming right around the corner, a housing meltdown, the rich getting even wealthier, and Americans will be next to have their entitlement programs changed and taken.

Out of the blue, Trump reciprocal tariffs were ruled to be unconstitutional. What does this mean? What about Doge? What about the big beautiful bill? What is happening? I have lots of questions.

Today we explore the debt disaster making its way through Congress and its ramifications. The bond market is showing us what they think of it as we had a terrible 20 year bond auction this week. Meanwhile, the revenue generator in chief just got his first tariff check and its 50% short of the goal. Perhaps this caused Trump's twitter meltdown Friday morning, with 50% tariffs on the EU and 25%...

Today we watch and wonder what Jerome Powell can possibly do? He is boxed in or is he?

The US debt just got downgraded. That shouldn't be surprising. What is surprising is just how quickly Trump's big beautiful bill is running into problems. That means without tariffs and Doge making lots of money that are deficits are going to get even bigger and fast. Flying is about as risky as loaning the US money, maybe that is why the Fed was forced to step in this week and buy some lo...

Today we discuss the results of the Trump Tariff saga. We wonder what he is going to do now that he is faced with the same problem that caused him to pivot.

Today we explore the collection of Fox News Hosts and billionaire wives that make up Trump's team leading this jalopy of an adminsitration.

We discuss the onset of the tariffs hitting or shores and how it will affect small business and not Trump or his donors. Their business is great.

Today we say good bye to the retiring Warren Buffet. We discuss the buy now pay later screwup and Steve Witkoff, the amateur negotiator for Trump. We also look at the blackout in Spain and the flesh eating monster heading toward Texas. Just a footnote, we still have no Epstein files released and one of his victims just committed suicide. Sure she did...

Today we discuss wave after wave of bad news about to hit our shores at the same time a bunch of empty ships hit our shores from China. It truly is the calm before the storm...

The fall out from Trump's trade war is just beginning for the real economy as ships, ports, trucks, and warehouses are all likely to see reduced volumes. Trump has blinked in the trade war but China seems intent on continuing it. Speaking of continuing it, the federal government seems intent on wasteful spending. Speaking of wasteful spending, it seems Amazon has joined Microsoft in slowly dow...

Today we discuss the financial bubble bursting. We discuss real money and where it is going, aka away from us. We discuss who is now fleecing the henhouse, and we discuss just how easy it would be for people to push back against those that are really taking advantage of them. Alas, the people are busy living their lives...

Donny Tariff is throwing caution to the wind because our society is soft. Our shoppers are having difficulties shopping and their stores are cancelling advertising. Meanwhile, the soybean situation is going from bad to worse and that means more bailouts in the land of socialism. China is winning the trade war in other ways, the auto market is about to be paralyzed Covid-style by supply chain short...

Trump has been forced to retreat from his tariff plan, but the weakening of the economy has already started to entrench itself. What is he to do?

The bond market panicked Trump. Then he bailed against China for Apple and the other tech companies. The market remains way overvalued when earnings take a dive from the tariffs that are still on. Trump's tariff math flunked fourth grade. Commercial real estate continues to crash, and now people are starting to have to pay the tariffs which is not what they were told, unless you listened to us...

Today we discuss the scariest thing since the words" Hi, I'm Bill Cosby, would you like to get a drink?" the 10- year Treasury yield is rising.

Well It's tarrifying out there. But don't be blinded by the terror if you want to know what is really going on. It's the debt dum-dum. Trump's plan to lower the deficit is working if America's early retirements are not. Oil is down, interest rates are down, and tariff revenue is up. AKA closing budget deficits... While all this is going on, Utah is attempting to use gold and si...

Today we pause from talking abut tariffs. We discuss housing. News flash, it is prickly...

Trump sets a permanent auto tariff by executive order, maybe. In response, Canadians are boycotting America, while the American consumer is broke. China puts Trump back in check regarding the Panama Canal, no word on whether they plan to rename it the China Canal, Russians are popping out of pipelines Shawshank style, and the misadventures of Pete Hegseth continue.

Today we discuss why that yellow rock is making new all time highs.
