CHINA SLASHES ‘NO-GO’ LIST TO WIN BACK FOREIGN CASH Beijing just cut its investment blacklist from 117 to 106 industries in a fresh attempt to say: “Please invest here, we swear it’s fine.” TV, telecoms, and pharma services got partial green lights, while e-cigs and drones? Still on the no-no list – because nothing says …
Can we beat the institutional investors like we did in meme stocks? Or we are just the glorified bag holders?? h/t holypally0731
XI JINPING: TARIFFS ARE BAD FOR THE WORLD (BUT TOTALLY FINE WHEN CHINA USES THEM) Xi took a swipe at tariffs, saying they “undermine the legitimate rights” of countries and mess with the “world economic order.” Because apparently now the rules of global trade matter – just not when China’s the one stacking the deck. …
In America today, a government worker can retire at age fifty and collect ninety percent of their base salary for life. This is not some rare fantasy. It is reality for many career federal, state, and local employees, especially those in law enforcement, fire departments, and political circles. Some do thirty years and walk away …

They have made it nearly impossible to see straight. Every headline is a trap. Every soundbite is a lure. And as Americans argue over identity, pronouns, or who gets to use which bathroom, the country beneath their feet quietly erodes. This is not a coincidence. It is the plan. While people scream at each other …
There is a quiet theft happening in plain sight. Banks like Chase and Bank of America are paying you a humiliating 0.01 percent on your savings. That is not a typo. For every thousand dollars you keep with them, you get one dime a year. It is not just a bad deal. It is financial …
You can feel it in the bond markets. You can see it in the headlines. But most of all, you can sense it in the way central bankers speak now. No longer with the confidence of engineers controlling a machine. Now with the anxiety of firefighters trying to contain a blaze. Global debt has crossed …

Interesting perspective, it somehow makes sense. South Korea and China are already in a demographic collapse which will be difficult to reverse. Isn’t it cute though how Paris sticks out? The French have always been so romantic. pic.twitter.com/qbW0XKl1jU — Michael A. Arouet (@MichaelAArouet) April 15, 2025
THE PROBLEM, AS OUTLINED BY DATA REPUBLICAN: The Left is structured as a network of NGOs: ruthlessly efficient and ready to act the moment power changes hands. The Right has no equivalent infrastructure. If I sit down and ask myself, “How would I start an NGO to implement a conservative agenda in D.C.?” … I …
“DIDDY’S “FREAK OFF” TAPES MIGHT BE SHOWN IN COURT—YEP, IT’S THAT SERIOUS Diddy’s legal team is scrambling. They sent out a 70-question quiz to potential jurors asking stuff like: “Would you be okay watching explicit videos?” and “Do you judge people with multiple partners?” (Not awkward at all.) The prosecutors? They’re like, “This quiz is …

Historically no nation can survive with a debt to gdp > than 130%. We are at 125. The “free money” has led to the “everything bubble.” It’s not just the stock market he sees correcting (collapsing.).
Milk is milk—until a label convinces you otherwise. That’s the quiet trick behind America’s grocery shelves. The same white liquid flowing through Walmart’s Great Value jug might be identical to what Meadow Gold sells for a dollar more. Both products could come from the same factory, same cows, same trucks, same tanks. The only real …
On this day of 1996 , Nancy Pelosi a US member of Congress could have drawn the line to say to the President of the United States, do something about this US-China trade relationship that is a job loser for the United States.” Thirty years later and our annual trade deficit is now approximately $300 …
The Supreme Court on Friday afternoon put on hold an order by a federal judge in Massachusetts that would have required the Department of Education to reinstate more than $65 million in grants that it terminated in February because they funded programs that included diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. In an unsigned three-page opinion, a …
Far-left Maryland lawmakers, sitting high in their Annapolis castle, are completely detached from reality. They masquerade as public servants but are merely progressive activists who cannot govern properly. Instead of addressing the state’s incoming financial crisis and worsening power crisis, these woke lawmakers have focused on condoms for kids and other disastrous left-wing policies. It’s …

Something is shifting beneath the surface. While the media stays fixated on Bitcoin’s ups and downs, gold has quietly surged under Trump’s watch. A distraction? Or a strategic realignment of value? Since Trump took office, gold has climbed 17.5%, a clear break from years of stagnation. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has dropped 22%. The …

Tim Walz’s daughter rejects elite institutions, not out of sacrifice, but for show. Her stance is a self-serving performance that hijacks serious issues for social gain.
