THE BIG PICTURE

A Murderous Cult Run by a Murderous Cult Run by a Murderous Cult – “All funded by people who hate Americans, America and freedom, The sight of the bloated oleaginous Prince Charles at the White House this week was meant to reassure us that God was in his heaven and all was right with the world. But he was here, as is his reason for going anywhere, to assert his position as King of the World, or the E.U., the U.N. the World Economic Forum, the Defender of Faiths or however he styles himself to himself this week, and to make sure that the torrent of American money keeps filling up European coffers so they can continue to throw it at fake problems like their endless war against Russia, “climate change” and its devil spawn, DEI, ESG, mass migration and the elimination of uppity whites.” – Elizabeth Nickson

You Paid Into Social Security for Fifty Years. Trump Just Told You He Spent It. – “The billionaire class waged a war on behalf of a foreign government and sent you the bill. Your MAGA hat is not going to cover it. You worked for fifty years. You got up before dawn in a steel plant, a warehouse, a factory floor, a job site, places where your body was the machine and the machine did not care about your back or your knees or your lungs. You paid into Social Security every single paycheck for decades, which, if you are doing the math, is a LOT of paychecks. You were told, explicitly and repeatedly, by every president and every politician of every party for your entire adult life, that this money was yours. Held in trust. A sacred compact between the American worker and the country that worker built with their hands. So you are probably wondering what happened to it.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

‘Major Win’: House Strips Pesticide Liability Shield From Farm Bill in Bipartisan Vote – “The U.S. House voted 280-142 today to remove language that would have limited lawsuits against pesticide makers.

Anna Paulina Luna, who co-authored the amendment to preserve states’ authority over pesticide labeling and safety standards.” – Jill Erzen  – DIDN’T THINK THAT WOULD GO THROUGH. FOR ONCE THEY DID SOMETHING RIGHT!!!

Workers of the World, Disunite! – “May Day moaners, raised fist emojis, and shopworn sloganeering… ¡Viva la Revolución!

NEWS

The Great Retreat from Germany – “5000 Troops on the Move, News out of the Pentagon is that the great retreat from Germany is beginning. Five thousand U.S. troops are being withdrawn at the request of a petulant president who can’t stand criticism of his disastrous war of choice with Iran. (Then again, maybe it wasn’t a war of choice, as it appears his commander-in-chief, Bibi Netanyahu, gave him none.) Other countries to have annoyed Trump include Spain and Italy. In Trump’s words: “Italy has not been of any help to us and Spain has been horrible, absolutely horrible.”” – Bill Astore

Donald Trump Says US Will Take Over Cuba ‘Almost Immediately’. – “President Donald Trump said Friday during remarks in Florida that the United States would take over Cuba “almost immediately,” suggesting an aircraft carrier could be positioned offshore after the conflict in Iran.

Elizabeth Warren Killed Spirit Airlines and Now She’s Complaining About It – “Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in partnership with former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and President Joe Biden are the ones with Spirit Airlines’ blood on their hands after working tirelessly to block the merger of the budget airline with JetBlue. Now that the company is dead, the hyper-progressive Democrat wants to complain about the lack of competition in the air travel industry.” – Joseph Chalfant

Ad absurdly suggests Miller-Meeks led charge for “less expensive health care”- “Lately, you haven’t been able to turn on the TV without hearing how great Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks is. The American Action Network, a special interest group with ties to the U.S. House Republican leadership, has been blanketing area TV stations and online outlets with ads that claim Miller-Meeks, the member of Congress for Iowa’s first district, “led the charge for high-quality, less expensive health care, especially for rural Iowans.” Then they say that we should “thank her for delivering for all of us.” Miller-Meeks is faltering as a fiscal conservative, according to conservative groups. Her actions in Congress actually raised health care costs. She supported tariffs that are hurting US factory growth. Those tariffs also cost US families $1,000 apiece last year, according to the Tax Foundation. They’ll cost families another $600 this year. She also boasted about helping to author a supply chain grant program in an agency Trump tried to eliminate. Yet, she claims she is working side by side with the president, even as the administration has failed to publish any guidance for the program. Somebody should create a TV ad laying out this record. It probably won’t help Miller-Meeks get re-elected, but it would be more honest.” – Ed Tibbetts  –  A PRIME EXAMPLE OF POLITICA PROPAGANDA IN IOWA, AND I’M SURE THE SAME “BS” HAPPENS IN EVERY STATE!!!!!!!!!!

Trump Moves Closer to Final ‘Blowout’ Hail-Mary Against Iran, as Outlets Report Total US Regional Wipeout – “It seems each passing day begins with some new revelations of the true scale of Iran’s damage against US in the brief conflict. This is natural, of course, given that the immediate M.O. is to always downplay any losses for the “invincible” US military machine. It’s scary to think what we’ll learn as time passes, particularly on the touchy subject of US human losses. The latest report was brought by CNN, which shared a segment about how 16 US bases were emptied and heavily damaged by attacks which were “much more sophisticated” than previously thought or anticipated:” – Simplicius

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

An Evening Out at Taco Bell – “If you were around in the ’90s, you probably saw Demolition Man. It starred Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock and depicted a future in which – among other things – the most extravagant luxury was an evening out at Taco Bell. Well, we experienced our own version of this extravagant luxury the other night. At Burger King. It was late, we were tired and so – for the first time in years – we rolled up to the order window at a fast food drive-through. We ordered two “Whoppers” with (allegedly) cheese. I place the name of this hamburger in air fingers quotes because if it is a “Whopper,” then my understanding of this word requires correction. What came through the drive-through window was a bag containing two very modest-looking hamburgers; hardly “Whoppers.” The patty was a sad-looking disc maybe a fourth-of-an-inch thick, salted like beef jerky and almost as leathery. There was a piece of flaccid lettuce, a tasteless tomato and two little pickle slices about the size of a penny. The buns were the biggest component of the “Whopper.” Maybe the word refers to the price. This would make more sense. Those two “Whoppers” cost $15. No fries. No drinks. Fifteen bucks for two sad-looking “Whoppers” that were, by my reckoning, about the same size – the patties, for sure – as you used to get when you ordered a kid’s-size cheeseburger and paid maybe a buck for it.” – Eric Peters

Inflation in the Entire US economy Is Rocking and Rolling, and It’s Not Just Energy – “The 6-month core services PCE inflation index, accelerating since August, hit 3.7% annualized. Chip prices and software wreak havoc amid consumer electronics.” – Wolf Richter

Liquidity At Any Cost – “Over the last few years, it appeared that the Federal Reserve was finally attempting to get its house in order. After the insane pandemic-era peaks, where its balance sheet ballooned to over $8.9 trillion, the central bank spent years on a steady program of balance sheet reduction. Through a process called Quantitative Tightening (QT), the Fed allowed bonds to roll off the books without replacing them. It successfully shrank its balance sheet to about $6.5 trillion by December 2025. But if you’ve been watching the Fed’s balance sheet lately, the trend has pulled a U-turn.” – MN Gordon

UK Retail Sector Collapse – “Britain’s retail sector has just posted the worst collapse in sales in more than 40 years, and this is precisely the type of economic deterioration our models have been warning would emerge across Europe into 2028. ” – Martin Armstrong

Now It’s JPMorgan’s Turn to Say the Oil Math Is Wrong – “Time to lace up those oil-trading boots!!! Natasha Kaneva at JPMorgan Chase is not writing research; she is running a countdown She has already mapped the point where Gulf disruption stops being a routing issue and starts forcing real shut-ins, and once that line is crossed, you are no longer trading delayed barrels, you are trading permanent damage to the supply curve Then she hits the part the market keeps missing. The shock does not land all at once; it travels Different tanker speeds mean different arrival times, so the oil shockwave rolls basin by basin, not screen by screen. Asia tightens before Europe, Atlantic lags until it does not, and by the time it shows up clean in Brent, the squeeze is already in motion. She’s not just flagging stress, she is laying out the full arc of how this breaks She starts with the uncomfortable truth that unless flows snap back to pre-war normal, the market is heading into forced demand destruction,” – Stephen Innes

The Grid Doesn’t Need To Control You… Just Your Basic Assumptions – “I’ve been saying for the last couple of weeks that most folks think they’re off the grid because they bought a few panels, stacked some firewood, and planted a garden. But here’s the uncomfortable truth… if someone can still predict what you believe, what you fear, and how you’ll react… you’re not off the grid. You’re just running a different power source. Because the real grid isn’t in the wires. It’s in your head.” – Bill Heid
