The $40 trillion headline gets all the attention. The harder problem is that Washington keeps adding debt while the promises sitting outside that number keep growing too. The US National Debt has increased by over $700 billion since July 1st. The Federal Government is borrowing from our future to spend like drunken sailors today. Everything … Read more
by Michael There are tens of millions of Americans that are currently living in third world conditions, and poverty, hunger and homelessness are growing all around us. Many of our most important urban areas have become rotting, decaying, drug-infested hellholes. Meanwhile, there are vast stretches of rural America that look like they have been totally … Read more
Japan just spent $100 billion rescuing the yen. Not over several years. Not during some historic financial crisis. In less than one month. This wasn’t just Japan acting alone, either. But now the yen is right back down past 160 again. What does this mean…for the dollar?
by Michael It appears that Russia is gearing up for a really big move. The Ukrainians believe that plans are being made for a ground operation to conquer Kyiv, and the constant wave of airstrikes that we are witnessing right now could be a prelude to such a ground operation. If Vladimir Putin actually pulls … Read more
Great quarter for Affirm. However, that $14.1 billion in BNPL purchases also shows just how hard consumers are stretching their finances. Consumers just financed a record $14.1B of purchases through Affirm in a single quarter. The stock rose 9% on its first GAAP profit. Buy-now-pay-later scales fastest when households are stretching a paycheck across four … Read more
People may be missing after Saturday’s wall of water in Bright Angel Canyon. First number was about 20 unaccounted. Later they walked it toward 15. Working estimate. Not a body count. Flood hit around 2:30 Saturday. Almost every footbridge on Bright Angel Creek is gone. 62 people already flown out. More lifts from Cottonwood and … Read more
#BREAKING: City garbage truck workers will NOT face any criminal charges after they used the truck’s hydraulic claw to pick up a homeless woman sleeping in a pile of trash… and crushed her. After they realized what they had done, they never called 911. The police report says they, “didn’t think she was really hurt” … Read more
Ex-marine Ken O'Keefe: "The whole system is based on financial fraud, which effectively takes the power that we have and it gives it to a tiny group of individuals who are running the world through… the infinite supply of money that we have allowed them to take." "And with… — ThePatrioticBlonde™🇺🇸 (@ImBreckWorsham) August 29, 2026
Warren Buffett will be celebrating his 96th birthday on Sunday. Even though he is no longer Berkshire Hathaway’s CEO, he remains very involved as chairman, apparently continuing to make the big decisions on equities, including the addition in recent quarters of what is now a $36.6 billion stake in Google parent Alphabet . Berkshire investors, … Read more
AI is starting to move from demos to contracts. The interesting part is that the companies already sitting inside corporate software may be the ones collecting the money. AI just drove 25% of Workday's new contract value in a single quarter. Its AI business is closing in on $600M of annual recurring revenue. Enterprise AI … Read more
The GTA VI thesis sounds ridiculous. Lucia appears to be wearing Victoria’s Secret. The game has an enormous audience. The stock could get free exposure every time millions of players see the brand. Fine. But here’s the part I think is more interesting. Victoria’s Secret was already turning around before GTA VI. Q1 sales jumped … Read more
The interesting part isn’t that Americans like hobbies. It’s that small things are still affordable while the big things keep getting further away. The latest BEA data makes that clearer. July consumer spending rose only 0.2%, while real spending was basically flat. Spending on goods actually fell by $49.9 billion, while services increased by $86.2 … Read more

Truth … 😆💯🔽 pic.twitter.com/3RFOxVdrZs — John (@market_sleuth) August 30, 2026 It would take 56 years to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve with Venezuelan oil through the Venezuelan deal per mathematical simulation. This is the upper limit. It assumes that infrastructure is already built and fully functional and that the draw is curbed significantly. The “good … Read more
Look at the map. Canada is the No. 1 export market for 27 U.S. states. Maine sends 41% of its exports to Canada. Michigan sends 39%. Wisconsin sends 31%. That’s not a small customer. That’s a major piece of some state economies. And Canada’s new retaliation is aimed directly at the kinds of products those … Read more
Everyone wants to know: What’s the next Nvidia? But the discussion around this question misses something important. The biggest winners usually weren’t obvious because they belonged to some magical “next big thing.” People didn’t need to predict AI to buy AMD. They didn’t need to predict the Arab Spring to buy Facebook. They didn’t need … Read more
Credit card debt in this country has passed a trillion dollars, and the collection calls are following it. These are seventeen Americans telling you what happened to them — the letter that went in a drawer, the default judgment that went through while they were at work, the account that had already been sold two … Read more
“We’ll need more of X in the future.” I keep seeing this used as the entire investment thesis. More AI chips. More memory. More rockets. More Walmart shopping. Maybe. But none of that tells you what the stock is worth today. That’s the trap. You can correctly predict that demand for something will explode and … Read more
This is where the congressional trading rules start looking ridiculous. Corporate insiders have 2 business days to report a trade. They disclose the exact shares, exact price and resulting holdings. Congressional officials generally have up to 45 days after the trade, or 30 days after receiving notice, whichever comes first. And they don’t have to … Read more
