Independent thinking for complex markets and current events
Trump said in a post to his Truth Social early Thursday morning: “Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership. The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job.” The …
by Plastic-Umpire4855 Right, I feel like I’m going crazy reading the MSTR channels and any negative comment is met with a hail of abuse. But I don’t get it, and more worryingly it’s now embedding itself into actual financial markets. So here is my understanding: the “company” other than owning BTC has nothing to do …

A recent Echelon Insights poll shows that voters not only view Republicans more favorably than Democrats but also largely support Donald Trump’s transition. Despite efforts by Democrats and the media to generate controversy, Trump is enjoying significant goodwill, with 53% of registered voters approving of his transition and 40% disapproving.

Food recalls have recently hit major brands, from Boar’s Head to McDonald’s, but experts say don’t panic ‒ at least not yet. While some food recalls don’t get much publicity, several recent high-profile outbreaks involving organic carrots, slivered onions and liverwurst have raised concern about U.S. food safety. However, data from the Food and Drug …
I can’t believe she is VP and possibly going to be elected president! AC
Know what has a verifiable fixed supply? Bitcoin. If you review monetary history, the main goal the bankers wanted to achieve was a “flexible money supply.” They said this was needed to control banking panics. In other words, the exclusive power to counterfeit money. h/t Jem_colley
(DCNF)—Vice President Kamala Harris’ father, Donald Harris, once co-authored a treatise in which he argued mass immigration was dangerous for the United States, particularly for black Americans. The 1988 book titled “Black Economic Progress: An Agenda for the 1990s” described immigration as “a particularly serious problem for blacks” due to there being fewer jobs available …

Kamala Harris has a man problem… Donors are admitting the “men are gone”, but Democrats say @KamalaHarris isn’t the issue. They say men are, and they should see a psychiatrist. pic.twitter.com/YmsZ7Xai83 — Jesse Watters (@JesseBWatters) October 12, 2024
GM will drop the name “Ultium” for its electric vehicle batteries and supporting technologies after spending years promoting the brand. The company said the batteries and technologies will remain, but the name “Ultium” will not. GM spent millions of dollars in marketing and advertising Ultium, including back-to-back years of Super Bowl ads in 2021 and …
A federal judge in Washington, DC, has released the most comprehensive narrative to date of the 2020 election conspiracy case against Donald Trump, outlining what special counsel Jack Smith describes as the former president’s “private criminal conduct.” The 165-page document comes from Smith’s office and is the fullest accounting yet of evidence in the election …
It's amazing how Kamala thinks we forgot all of their blatant invasion videos and use of the courts against America. Now we see it was a planned invasion from Day one. So many children lost.

It wasn’t that long ago that candidates vying for the White House tried to win voters over with their plans to reduce the budget deficit, or, better yet, leave the country with no deficit at all. But now, as the dangers of a widening deficit and mounting debt grow, former President Donald Trump and Vice …
via notayesmanseconomics I thought that I would look at energy prices in Europe and we start with the general theme that high electricity prices are causing deindustrialisation. In fact when one looks at the numbers the ongoing recession has caused a depression. We have become used to numbers like this. In July 2024, compared with …
New polls show Vice President Harris faces a major challenge in winning over male voters and is losing men by a bigger margin than she’s winning women in key states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada and North Carolina. The gender gap between Democrats and Republicans isn’t new, but it’s becoming especially pronounced in the toss-up race …
The Chinese yuan has recouped much of its losses against the dollar in August, sitting around 7.09 yuan to the dollar, after steadily weakening for much of the year. The gains have been aided by Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s calls for a strong currency and policymakers trying to nudge Chinese government bond rates higher. Though …

Authored by Charles Hugh-Smith via oftwominds, The less self-congratulatory camp of the super-wealthy understand the pressure cooker of inequality and unfairness is going to blow unless they relinquish some of their unearned gains generated by Fed policies. The cultural consensus holds that the super-wealthy always manage to come out ahead in any spot of bother. Due …
Authored by Charles Hugh-Smith via oftwominds, Mimicry of intelligence isn’t intelligence, and so while AI mimicry is a powerful tool, it isn’t intelligent. The mythology of Technology has a special altar for AI, artificial intelligence, which is reverently worshiped as the source of astonishing cost reductions (as human labor is replaced by AI) and the …

via notayesmanseconomics This morning has brought another economic worry for the Euro area and the ECB. We had started 2024 with ECB President Christine Lagarde pointing to signs that the economy was picking up.
