04.17.26- Climbing the Mt. Everest of Worry
In the middle of an energy crisis, two wars, an emerging credit crisis, and while deficits are screaming higher. Stocks are famous for “climbing the wall of worry”. But this seems more like scaling Everest in sweatpants and a hoodie. Read More |

04.13.26- Did Trump Just Make Iran Great Again?
I awoke this morning with trepidation. Had Trump tried to follow through with his unhinged threats to “bomb Iran back to the Stone Age” and ensure that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again”—or had he even significantly escalated his terrorist bombings of Iranian infrastructure—things might have gotten seriously crazy, as in “way beyond Cuban Missile Crisis crazy, way beyond drunken Nixon having his nuclear codes taken away crazy, way beyond Great Depression crazy.” Read More |

04.10.26- The Petrodollar Breakdown is Real
The longstanding financial arrangement in which the United States underwrote stability in the Middle East in exchange for Gulf states recycling dollar revenues into US Treasuries has fractured. What functioned for decades as a reinforcing loop between energy flows, dollar demand, and sovereign financing is now under strain. Read More |

Erin Burnett (L) and Kate Bolduon (R) wait for the Prozac to kick in |
“The ends must justify the means — the only question is what means are necessary.” —Saul Alinsky
Why do the news anchor ladies of CNN, Erin Burnett, Kate Bolduon, always look so depressed on the air? They never smile. Their faces always register something between grave concern and hysteria. Is it the network’s cratered ratings? The pending hostile takeover by Paramount / Skydance (led by conservative David Ellison)? Too much botox, zombifying the small facial muscles? Or is it self-loathing from being compelled to slant everything they report on in the direction of a lie? Read More

Even a massive military assault on Iran is unlikely to topple the Islamic Republic of Iran and its state system, according to a classified assessment produced by the US intelligence community shortly before the US and Israel launched their current 'shock and awe-style' military campaign on Tehran. The Washington Post first reported it, perhaps based on some kind of leak or briefing by an anonymous intelligence official, and calls it— Read More |

One year into President Trump’s second term, it is both fair and necessary to ask whether those assurances are being honored. Read More |

The continental was paper money. It had occurred to the colonists that, as their revolution was costing quite a bit to maintain, they could go into “temporary” debt to finance the war. Soon it became clear that the debt could not be repaid. Also, the printing of paper banknotes resulted in inflation. The solution? Print more of them. Further devaluation of the continental motivated the colonists to print more… then more… then still more. Read More |

The 10-Point Plan Is a Momentous Triumph for the Islamic Republic
Global financial markets are starting to shake, and it is because of what is happening in the Middle East. At this stage, every day is a rollercoaster ride for investors, and that is not likely to change any time soon. The Iranians have paralyzed traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and trying to reopen it by force is going to be exceptionally difficult to do. As you will see below, this is going to have enormous implications for every nation on the entire planet. We are in the early chapters of a major global crisis, and a tremendous amount of pain is ahead. 
A troubling shift is unfolding within Generation Z (Zoomers), born between 1997 and 2012. It is not merely cultural or political. It is cognitive.
Last week, the Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration’s unconstitutional and 
You’re smart. You already know that, when planning for the future, factoring inflation into those plans is vitally important. 
Okay, parents, how many of you have gone to your local city hall, county commission meeting and petitioned that they work with you to get all schoolbooks removed until proven innocent of brainwashing your children?
The real scandal of our time is not that artificial intelligence is replacing human labor. The scandal is that so much of that labor was misallocated to begin with. AI is not the killer—it is the coroner. 
Washington promised reform, yet one year into President Trump’s second term, Executive Orders abound while arrests, prosecutions, and structural change remain conspicuously absent.
The Department of Education is getting a bigger budget, less than a year after President Donald Trump ordered the department’s closure.
Under political pressure to punish Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its agents, a Republican lawmaker says the Trump administration is enforcing immigration laws that were trampled on by the open-borders Biden administration. 
For decades, the dominance of the United States has been primarily based on the strength of the U.S. dollar. Having the main reserve currency of the world has meant that everyone else has wanted and needed our currency. In fact, our currency is our number one export. Most Americans don’t realize this, but far more dollars are used outside the United States than are used inside the United States. Having such a strong currency for such an extended period of time has allowed us to enjoy a standard of living that is far beyond what we actually deserve. 
An eye-opening and massive number of C-17 Globemaster military transport and cargo planes have been observed heading to Europe and the Middle East, in what some monitors have forewarned looks like the build-up to major war in Iran. 
Gold, silver, and miners are finally dipping after an insane run.
Last week CPB commander Greg Bovino was asked what makes Minneapolis different from other cities where ICE enforcement operations have taken place. Bovino noted in the Minneapolis region there is no separation between the extremists on the ground and the people in local government. Today, Vice President JD Vance concurs and expands on that sentiment:
This is a story as old as mankind, as every person since the beginning of time has had choices to make and battles to wage from within and without, against himself, the elements and those who try to enslave him or suppress his natural right to freedom and liberty. 
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is taking place in Davos, Switzerland, this week.
Kraft Heinz shares are down about 7.5% in New York premarket trading, the biggest drop in just under four years, after the company filed an 8K allowing Berkshire Hathaway to sell up to 325.4 million shares of stock if it chooses to do so.
Is Donald Trump an emperor? Of course not. Still, the more interesting question is whether Trump personally rules like an emperor, at least the “good emperors” of Roman history. That question requires some in-depth analysis. The answer may surprise most readers. At the same time, the answer offers some valuable clues as to Trump’s policy choices over the coming years. That’s an invaluable aid to investors. 
When it comes to the national security front, Donald Trump is flat out loosing it. After all, WTF was he thinking with respect to—-
When we examine the historic nature of communist revolution, we have to look beyond our disgust for their motives and consider their strategies and the reasons why they tend to succeed. Because it is simply a fact that the western experiment of individual liberty and self determination is being systematically eroded by a storm of socialist movements that will inevitably lead to a global communist regime if we do not take drastic actions in the near future. 
In late-18th-century America, something of minimal value was often described as being “not worth a continental,” which referred to the continental dollar, the American currency at the time of the revolution.
As the year drew to a close, the guardians of climate orthodoxy once again unleashed their ritualistic howls of indignation at the actions of the Trump administration. Last week’s 
This past month was dominated by domestic and international political issues with volatile headwinds impacting markets. Let’s survey the landscape to see what these key stories are. Some of them are well-known but have hidden twists. Others are not well-known at all but will have equal or greater weight as time goes on.
