Independent thinking for complex markets and current events
US Steel is shuttering production at a mill in November, but its hundreds of workers will keep their jobs – for now – thanks to an agreement the company reached with the Trump administration. US Steel will stop producing steel at its Granite City, Illinois, mill at the end of October, but the 800 workers …
Because Canada’s been running a climate-tax cash grab while kneecapping its own energy sector. Alberta’s oil could fuel the world, but Ottawa would rather import Saudi crude, slap you with carbon taxes, and call it “green.” It’s not market forces, it’s manufactured scarcity.… — Delta Harbour Assets (@DeltaHarbour) September 8, 2025 Federal, provincial and carbon …
via Phoenix Capital Research The August jobs numbers were a disaster. On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the U.S. added only 22,000 jobs in the month of August. To put this into perspective, Wall Street expected job growth of 75,000 for the month. So, this was a massive miss. And it confirms …
In remarks at a private gathering in Wyoming, the former House speaker offered his most unvarnished commentary yet on America’s looming fiscal crisis, his beef with Trump’s tariffs, and how to get the country back on track. By the end, the audience was even joking that he should take another run at the White House. …
Gold and silver are about to explode in value while the dollar slowly crumbles. The elites have been quietly hoarding metals, but soon the masses will realize fiat is collapsing and crypto is just a trap to keep money flowing into U.S. debt. Every other asset will fall as the global debt bubble finally bursts …
by Michael Are we defined by what we do? For so many of us, our identities are tied to our occupations. For example, when I worked in the legal field many years ago so many of my colleagues took great pride in being able to say “I’m a lawyer” when they were asked about their …

Policymakers will face impossible choices between higher rates and economic collapse. Yes, and just imagine where the labor market would be if not for the enormous amounts of unsustainable, unproductive government (deficit) spending we have seen over the last several years.Source: CBO pic.twitter.com/L88y7EYmeX — David Sommers (@dgsommersmkts) September 5, 2025 Question: Who is going to …

When foreign governments choose gold over Treasuries, it means they no longer trust Washington to protect the value of their reserves. This is the clearest sign yet that the post–World War II financial order is cracking. If demand for U.S. debt keeps falling, interest rates will spike, deficits will explode, and the dollar’s role as …
Eight U.S. warships carrying 1,200 missiles are now sitting off Venezuela’s coast. The timing is not random. The deployment came one day after Trump met with Putin. Russia is supposed to be Venezuela’s shield, yet it stayed silent. No condemnation. No defense. No deterrence. That is not passivity. It is a signal that the trade …
Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility.

Global trade is changing fast, and our power is slipping away. If we keep pushing too hard, we may wake up to a world that no longer listens to us.

Australia Post announced it “would not accept parcels to the U.S. and Puerto Rico lodged on or after that date,” citing tariff confusion and customs chaos. Japan Post followed, halting packages over $100 or containing commercial items. Letters and postcards? Still allowed. But commerce?

“The Fed can’t rescue this in its entirety. You’ve got 4M homes in Texas and 42M across the U.S. at risk of bankruptcy or losing the roof over their heads. That’s nearly 38% of households.

https://imgur.com/KKKkpuV The warning came in the quietest way possible. Not through legislation, not through the courts, not in a press briefing where every word is scrutinized. It came in a single post, short, public, permanent, and viral. A sitting president chose a billionaire and his son as the subject of a criminal threat. He picked …

by Michael How many plagues have to hit us before people finally start waking up? So far this month I have written about rabbits with “black, tentacle-like protrusions coming from their heads”, squirrels with “ghastly growths that burst open”, deer that have “tumor-like growths hanging off their bodies”, and a “mysterious fungus” that is transforming spiders in the United States and elsewhere …
Are U.S. Treasuries finally as risky as stocks? First, what is a Treasury? When you buy a U.S. Treasury bond, you’re lending money to the government. They promise to pay you interest (called a coupon) and then return your money when the bond matures. Safe, right? Except prices can swing if yields change. — StockMarket.News …
Despite allusions to nepotism and corruption, the Commerce Department hasn’t made clear what it wants to do with the newly clawed-back funds. The U.S. Commerce Department has seized control of a $7.4 billion semiconductor research fund from the National Center for the Advancement of Semiconductor Technology (NATCAST), a private non-profit set up during the Biden …
Factories are shutting. Shops are closing. Workers are walking out under stress that has nowhere to go. The air smells of fear and exhaustion. Bank accounts are shrinking while bills climb. The institutions meant to protect us are either blind or complicit. Every metric screams warning. Every statistic is a cry ignored. The economy is …
Mexico is burning. The state claims to govern, but the cartels pull the strings. Power has become a theater of fear, and ordinary citizens are the casualties. The institutions that should protect them are complicit, silent, or terrified. Every day that passes under this shadow, the nation bleeds a little more. And when a single …

Reddit threads like r/stopsmoking and r/IsraelCrimes are now blocked in the UK.
