Somewhere right now, a camera you never agreed to is reading the back of your car. You haven’t been accused of anything. That’s the point. Across America, something is being installed on the poles, in the intersections, and inside the vehicles people drive every day. License plate readers that no longer need a license plate. …
NEW DELHI/SAN FRANCISCO, June 29 (Reuters) – Sensitive lists of components and suppliers, and photos of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models are part of files posted on the dark web by the ransomware group that stole data from the U.S. firm’s Indian supplier Tata Electronics, according to documents and a source. The exposure threatens …

George Noble @gnoble79 The market is afraid of all the wrong things. Everyone’s locked onto the AI bubble, the Middle East, or private credit cracking. But the MAIN event is liquidity, and it’s draining out of the system as you read this. Gold is down nearly 30% from its high while silver’s been cut by …

Here's crybaby Dario Amodei trying to get the US government to ban China's open source models, because those models have caught up to Anthropic's models now.

People usually argue about one tax. What gets overlooked is how many taxes stack on top of each other. Start with the federal income tax, which reaches a top marginal rate of 37%. Then add 15.3% in combined payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, although employees and employers typically split that burden. If you …
China imported 163 tonnes of gold in May, the largest monthly haul since March 2024. Then I looked at the rest of the numbers. This was the third straight month with gold imports above 150 tonnes. During the first five months of 2026, China imported 692 tonnes, a 76% increase from the same period a …
One headline by itself doesn’t mean much. But when several independent signals start pointing in the same direction, it’s worth paying attention. Last week, Goldman Sachs’ prime brokerage reported hedge funds sold U.S. information technology stocks at an extreme pace, with positioning reaching roughly a minus 4 Z score. That’s the kind of reading you …
Goldman Sachs is sounding the alarm: the machines are about to start a massive stock market sell-off. In today’s show, we dive into a critical Goldman report warning that algorithmic “machines” are hitting their sell thresholds. But the real story is what the smart money is already doing—they’re running for the exits before the retail …
Everyone agrees AI is changing the world. That doesn’t automatically mean AI stocks are worth any price. That’s why this warning caught my attention. Two Chinese hedge funds, Wealspring Asset and Shanghai Banxia Investment, are arguing that AI stocks have entered a “super bubble.” Wealspring believes some of the hottest AI names could eventually fall …
One part of the tax code has always struck me as odd. When you invest, you put up 100% of the capital. You accept the possibility of losing everything. You make the decisions. You take the risk. But if the investment works out, the government collects capital gains tax on the profit. If it doesn’t …

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Market legend Jeremy Grantham destroys the crypto narrative on CNBC. He calls Bitcoin a useless speculative mechanism that will inevitably dwindle to absolute zero.

This stat says almost everything. The median U.S. household earns about $83,000 to $88,000. But buying the median-priced home now requires roughly $117,000 to $120,000 in household income. Read that again. The income needed for the average house is roughly $30,000 to $40,000 higher than what the average household actually earns. That’s not a small …

That 0.9% jump in May retail sales grabbed the headlines. But if you zoom out, the picture looks a lot less impressive. Earlier this year, retail sales were crawling along with 0.2% gains or barely moving at all. One stronger month doesn’t erase the fact that a lot of households have been slowing down for …
Source: thegatewaypundit One part of this story made me stop. Gavin Newsom mapped out what he thinks is the conservative media ecosystem. He described a pipeline from the Daily Wire to the New York Post to Fox News and eventually into the White House. Fair enough. Political media absolutely influences politicians. Then he said he …
