More corruption with Trump’s people getting rich. What else is new? Tricia McLaughlin, the mouthpiece of DHS, posted a private jet photo to her Instagram.

With bond yields spiking and crude pessimism at extremes, the market is quietly flashing a warning. SPX:TLT Buy/Sell Indicator: While not as reliable as other indicators, this chart is nonetheless flashing an SPX sell warning right now.

🚨 BREAKING: THIS IS HOW 2006 HAPPENS AGAIN Trump orders $200,000,000,000 in mortgage bond buys to lower mortgage rates.

by David Haggith This is Big-Oil intrigue with an imperial golden flourish, Venezuelan style. Today I have to keep my editorial short and sweet, even though there was a lot of important news. For me, it was a day of somewhat routine doctor visits in addition to my normal eight-hour work day. So, I’m just going to summarize the …
by Michael After months of submitting resumes and filling out applications, many unemployed Americans have given in to despair. Dozens of large companies all over the nation have been conducting mass layoffs, and the competition for any good jobs that do happen to be available has become extremely intense.

“As a 30-year law enforcement officer who has investigated hundreds of shootings, been involved in shootings, and is an expert in this field, I will debunk @krassenstein ’s narrative and lies. 1) The agent was legally attempting to detain the suspect as she was breaking the law and not complying with officers’ commands. The agent …
by Michael If we wanted to make Russian President Vladimir Putin and his minions extremely angry, we have certainly accomplished that task. When I learned that the U.S. had seized an oil tanker that was displaying a Russian flag and that was being protected by Russian warships, I was absolutely stunned. I have been relentlessly warning that …
It smells like the start of something bigger in 2026. Small caps and banks are getting crushed today. Tech stocks used to be risk plays but since 2021 they are treated as "safe havens" from slowing economic growth. Even energy stocks are down. https://t.co/OhtzN2vUvE pic.twitter.com/KvUXSciETV — Financelot (@FinanceLancelot) January 7, 2026 The big crash is …

by Michael If the Russians launch an all-out nuclear attack on the United States tonight, will you live or will you die? Of course I don’t think that the Russians will launch such an attack right now, but we live at a time when the threat of nuclear war is greater than ever. More than …
This isn’t “fear mongering” but as traders we all use signals to gauge what the market is doing & this is a huge 🚧 signal. This is a bellwether stock. I just bought some $690 $SPY puts for late January as a hedge. Proceed at your own risk. If $SPY moves to $700 I’ll add …
With the Fed hinting at cuts and Trump gearing up for a midterm narrative, you can hear the backroom consensus already: keep asset prices high even if Main Street is struggling. A market that only goes up when debt is soaring and growth is slowing stops being real. Trump will likely pull every lever possible …

Strong consumers do not flee bulk stores for bargain bins. Small business employment shrank again in December according to Paychex.

This reads like a real-life imperial power play TAPPER: Can you rule out that the US is going to take Greenland by force? STEPHEN MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO. TAPPER: So you can't take military force …
Stocks now outweigh the money supply by three to one, which only works as long as liquidity keeps pretending it’s infinite. When cash tightens even a little, there’s nothing underneath that valuation but hope. That's when people want to be in the world reserve currency but even that has its limits…. And we are about …
This is the part where everyone points to spending and jobs like proof everything’s fine, right before both roll over at the same time. THE STOCK MARKET CRASH IS SET UP PERFECTLY! 1. Consumers are still spending money they don’t have. – Consumer spending makes up 70% of GDP – But personal savings are near …
If even half of this is real, the system is being looted in plain sight There is NO WAY that any sane person can look at this “high speed rail viaduct” in California and conclude there was no waste, fraud, or abuse in the $20+ BILLION spent on it $20,000,000,000.00!!!!! The more they get away …
by Michael After years of heading in the wrong direction, nobody can deny that the United States is facing overwhelming problems. So why don’t we focus on fixing those problems first? The truth is that we can’t do everything because our resources are very limited. U.S. households are more than 18 trillion dollars in debt, …
by Michael We are literally watching history in the making. We all saw what just happened in Venezuela, and now there are all sorts of rumors that more bold moves are about to be made on the global chessboard.

On December 10th, the Federal Reserve launched a new round of Quantitative Easing. But this time, there is a catch: they want this round of money creation to be called “Reserve Management Purchases” (RMPs), and Chairman Powell has signaled that the Fed has no intention of ever ending them. In this latest Macro Watch video, …
When the charges don’t match the rhetoric, the story was never about drugs. Two months ago, Rand Paul blew up Trump’s Venezuela false flag: “There’s no fentanyl made in Venezuela. None. Zero.

Hypocrisy doesn’t get more obvious than this. 🚨 BREAKING: Chuck Schumer was just CAUGHT in massive hypocrisy.

I tried to warn you all! Remember when I said the weekly RSI pattern looked like the 2020 black swan and NOT like the other bear market bottoms? The weekly RSI is now at 43, and the pattern is confirming exactly that. During all four drawn-out bear market bottoms, we never briefly dipped below 40 …
Did China just find a way to stop regime change without firing a shot? China just declared war. Not with missiles. With lawyers. “Chinese interest in Venezuela will be protected by law.” Read that again. Beijing didn’t threaten military action.
