Today we celebrate Rand Paul's tradition of Festivus. An in-depth look at how stupid or government truly is...

Germany falls, Syria falls, South Korea falls, Japan falls, UK falls, US falls, and France falls. Bitcoin might just be a China outlet, Argentina gets an outlet, and Pelosi needs to be let out... Too late...

Canada is feeling tariff pressure already, commercial real estate is getting worse, and the DOGE boys start fighting corruption. Meanwhile the market has never been better, the data has never been more inaccurate, and none of it matters to Big Lots.

Today with the help of a post by Charles Hugh Smith we investigate the historical effects of lost purchasing power. I also bad mouth Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi....

France is a fire, Seattle is going Courtney Love, and China is playing tit for tat. Meanwhile the rebuild in the flood zone continues in North Carolina, Bitcoin doesn't want to pay tax since it is a currency that has appreciated 10 million x in 14 years, and OpenAI is in the news for more ways than one.

Today we discuss a classic film noir and the comparisons it makes to those in charge today.

From Europe to Asia the financial system is cracking. When it cracks enough we get conflict. The East is pushing back against the west. We narrowly avoided such a problem this week in numerous locales. Joe Biden pardoned a crackhead. A CEO of a heartless insurance company was murdered in cold blood, and many Americans did not react how the media would have predicted. This is getting a little too M...

What a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive...

China pushes back against being bullied by the US, Wal-Mart rights its moral compass ahead of Target, and the food delivery business is being introduced to economics. France is failing like their German counterparts should be just call them Austria- Hungary now or should we wait? Not to e outdone in the game of failure, today we look at Maryland. Failures can get a get out of jail card though just...

Why are Trump and Musk so chummy after all the animosity? We review. Now Elon and Vivek are going to be best buds? Why is his story so similar to Elon's? Frauds everywhere?

Today we take a ride with an EV user for 11,000 miles, we see how fragile the internet can be, and we see the car market is in big trouble. That hasn't stopped credit demand, but credit supply is what is slowing. Consumer credit and the appetite for long term US bonds is waning. Waning, that is what we are seeing on the EV economic story as well.

Scranton Joe is using his lame duck golden years to attempt to get us into World War III. He is getting close.

Today we see the inherent problem with tariffs, higher prices and the consequences of higher prices in Germany. We see that we have recently been in another 50/50 nuclear situation, which frightens me to no end. We also see that China isn't that far behind us technologically, restaurants are really suffering without government stimulus, and miracles do happen in the mountains....

Today we discuss the real reason behind the tariffs, good old fashioned capitalism. Just not ours.

Today we look back at the fallout we anticipated in Germany on Wednesday. The quick shakeup includes the firing of the finance minister, the possibility of snap elections which the incumbents are unlikely to win amidst a backdrop of declining industrial production and layoffs. Meanwhile in the US hot pockets of real estate have reached correction territory while the sun shines on the riskiest and...

Today's we explore Europe's former industrial engine and how the choices they are making are destroying the country. Good Times!

Today we look at losses. Commercial real estate losses, California refining capacity, and Volkswagen's euros. It seems that Millennials might have to go back to work after throwing their toys down and stomping their feet, Ernst and Young just had a tantrum of their own as they walked away from the cooked books of Super Micro Computer, and lastly are Elon Musk and Don Trump joining forces with fame...

An ode to the Republic, at least what is left of her...

Our new leader visited Ukraine this week. The WNBA is still akin to watching an eclipse without glasses, and a Bolivian presidential candidate almost got killed in the middle of traffic. Meanwhile Vermont and Detroit are on very different glide paths, while the bond market is starting to sniff out the ridiculousness of the two candidates' financial policies.

In response to today's billionaires jet setting across the globe and working the drive thrus, today we crisscross the country and hit the drive thrus to see how much of a challenge the current economy is.

Today we investigate why the BRICS summit is happening, why cash is important whether you are in Western North Carolina or Norway, and the Nobel prize in Economics. We take a look at the crisis in Cuba, why natural disasters are getting worse due to the government, and marvel at how quickly Lloyd Austin's new leadership is getting aid to Gaza.

Today we explore just how close our Neocon leaders came to getting us into something they couldn't get out of: real war on our shore.

Boeing is scrambling for cash and lays off 17,000 workers. The aftermath of Hurricane Helene reminds us of what is truly important and how it isn't found at the App store. Dell Computers is requiring the self empowered remote workers to choose between working in the office 5 days a week or adios amigo. Being alone is proven effective, while investing in memecoins seems to be. Russia is skeptical a...

Today as we wait for western Florida to be destroyed and watch the cleanup in western North Carolina we realize that we are merely throwing good money after bad.

The Port Strike is over, but it is not. The oil market is rallying because Joe Biden is spilling the beans. North Carolina might have a long term power problem, and the path to AI profitability just got rockier. Lastly, America's financial position is worse than Senegal's. That is all.
