Independent thinking for complex markets and current events
Pam Johnson’s family did everything by the book. They paid nearly $50,000 for a grazing permit that was supposed to last 99 years.

But now, bulldozers are tearing through that same land to make …

DOGE was supposed to rein in spending, but when it comes time to act, it’s just more of the same. Trump inherited Biden’s mess, but if reckless spending continues, inflation won’t go away—it’ll get worse. You can’t spend your way out of a debt crisis. If Republicans don’t start making real cuts, they’ll own the …

Joe Rogan just ripped the lid off something that should’ve had people screaming from the rooftops years ago. Congressional trading. These politicians, who are supposed to be public servants, making a modest $180K a year, somehow end up with $30 million portfolios. And nobody asks how? Nobody demands answers? They sit on committees, get inside …

California, Pelosi’s home state, has likely funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into questionable pockets, just like the federal government. New York, Illinois, Texas, Arizona—you name it. These states have been siphoning off funds meant for the people, and where’s the accountability? It’s high time we examine where that hard-earned tax money is really going. Far …

It’s mind-boggling how some believe that idealistic thinking can fix complex Liberal MP Karina Gould says Canadians shouldn’t worry about looming U.S. tariffs because they are “smarter," and more “capable” than Americans.

Chinese banks are the real story, even as China’s government (intentionally?) stole the spotlight with its AI-knock-off, a distraction from the latest real economy warning and most importantly the banking sector’s latest. The credit crisis in the latter may finally be coming to a head as it keeps the former from stabilizing.
