THE BIG PICTURE

Duesenberg in a Barn – “Although literally millions of people were hit very hard by the crash, those who had invested wisely retained their wealth. Those who steered clear of the stock market bubble and/or invested in assets that would survive the crash, such as precious metals, were able to continue to live well. However, they did find that when they drove down the street in their luxury cars, they stood out and became the objects of anger and scorn. This is an important trait in human nature to recognize—that those who have been reckless with their money and have ended up losing it tend to hate those who were not reckless and have retained their wealth. Perhaps, observing someone who behaved responsibly is a regular reminder that they behaved stupidly. Whatever the psychology involved, in 1930, those who had fared well soon learned that it was unwise to be conspicuous in their continued wealth. At that point, an interesting but little-remembered development occurred. Such people put their mink coats in the closet, put their jewellery in a safe place and, most importantly, found barns in the countryside into which they could park their Duesenbergs, Cords, and Auburns.” – Jeff Thomas

Vance Blasts “Mob Of Lawless Thugs” Who Violently Attacked White People In Cincinnati – “The footage circulated online but garnered little to no national or even local news coverage. While a white male was jumped, others tried to prevent the attack, with a white woman being punched hard in the face by a black attacker, knocking her out cold. Other white people were violently attacked, seemingly for no reason than being there and being white. Vance took issue with a reporter describing the incident as a “street attack.” “You said a street fight in Cincinnati? What I saw is a mob of lawless thugs beating up on an innocent person, and it’s disgusting,” The Vice President urged.” – Steve Watson

It’s A Trap: We Are Escalating A War Against The One Nation On Earth That Could Completely Destroy Us – “Just six months ago, there was so much optimism that we were going to have peace with Russia. It was never going to be easy, but at least President Trump was willing to talk to the Russians to see if an agreement would be possible. Unfortunately, Trump is now telling us that he is “not so interested in talking anymore”, and instead he is making threats.” – Michael Snyder

Trump doubles down on threats against Russia, shortening deadline for Putin to ‘make peace’ with Ukraine or face more sanctions – “When ‘peace’ is imposed on nations from outside parties it rarely lasts. World would be better off if Russia-Ukraine resolved their own disputes. Without US intervention this war would already be over. President Donald Trump on Monday drastically cut the 50-day deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire deal with Ukraine. During his meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, Trump said the original 50 days, now down to about 40 days, would be slashed to “10 to 12 days.”” – Leo Hohmann

In which Trump makes the EU pay $1.35 trillion for the privilege of paying 15% unilateral tariffs on exports & lectures the Eurotards on the stupidity of wind turbines for good measure – “Donald Trump has shown up the European Union. He’s revealed that the world’s largest single market is a paper tiger to be kicked around, with basically no leverage or strength to resist American demands. All of these supposedly fierce backroom tariff negotiations have yielded an incredibly one-sided deal – really an unparalleled embarrassment.” – eugyppius

“THE CONVERGENCE…” (AN ECONOMIC SUPERSTORM). WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. (VIDEO) – “These trade deals that we’re apparently getting, there’s no deals here. These are all optics uh with all kinds of things that need to be worked out. and this may happen and that may happen is just garbage. Again, it’s unfortunate what has happened to the United States. Uh we’re being shoved into a corner because of deadlines and threats. It just doesn’t work. How does a deal for the American people ultimately mean that you are still paying an import tax? Oh, I’m sorry. It’s called a tariff. It’s a freaking import tax. And that’s the way it is, man. We’re being destroyed from within. You are being wiped out here the end. But the stock market is going to defy gravity on the back of the scam that is going on right now with the Federal Reserve with the Treasury buying it all. ” – Gregory Mannarino

Nobody for Fed Chairman – “A more interesting question than who will replace Powell is why would anyone want to, since the next Fed chairman will likely face another Fed-caused meltdown. The national debt is over 37 trillion dollars and rising. Yet few in Congress are serious about cutting federal spending. This puts pressure on the Fed to keep interest rates low to limit the cost of ongoing debt interest payments. So, the Fed continues monetizing the debt, pumping more money into the economy, weakening the dollar’s purchasing power, and eroding the American people’s standard of living.” – Ron Paul

Building Firebreak Defenses at Home: Simple Methods for Wildfire Seasons – “There’s a dangerous mindset among suburban homeowners and small-town folks across the United States, a quiet assumption that wildfires are only a California problem.
