THE BIG PICTURE

Scott Bessent: Stop Complaining About the Billionaire Economy – “Bessent, Trump, millionaires, and billionaires are beneficiaries of a financialized economy. Scott Bessent is sick and tired of hearing about your financial hardship. Since the beginning of his second term, President Trump has argued the US economy is experiencing record prosperity. “When I see polls on the economy, I should have 150% approval, not 100%. This is the golden age of America. “The economy is the greatest economy we’ve ever had by far. The polls are fake,” he added.” -Kut Nimmo  – YEP, EVERYTHING IS FAKE IF IT DISPUTES HIS LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Else Are They Hiding? – “There is really no way to sum up our current moment. In 2019, the economy was doing well and Trump was popular. There were the usual political divisions but no real emergency on the horizon. All at once in the first months of 2020, everything fell apart and a foreign regime was visited upon us, complete with new protocols that required staying home and standing apart from people and covering our faces. We could not go to church, visit the sick, or travel to other countries. A year later came the promised relief that turned out not to hold up but instead caused more suffering. All the while, trust in the system we had never really questioned began to collapse. ” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

When Will The Climate Liars Stop Lying? – “For nearly 40 years, the global warming cabal has spread fear and wasted resources on an emergency that doesn’t exist. While their influence has begun to wane, as their credibility has crashed and their lies have been exposed, the fabrications, exaggerations, and junk science continue. How much longer must we endure their campaign of rancid propaganda?” – I & I Editorial Board

2026-08-07 09:23 by Karl Denninger in Employment , 40 references The Fantastic Disappearing Yobs…. – “Yes, disappearing, yet the market liked it. Both nonfarm payroll employment (-23,000) and the unemployment rate (4.1 percent) changed little in July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment declined in local government education and retail trade. Employment continued to trend up in health care. How does employment go down yet the unemployment rate also drop (in this case by one tick)? People stopped giving a crap; the “not in labor force” number increased by 80,000.” – Karl Denninger

Shouldn’t house prices be declining in response to rising inventory? Isn’t that how supply and demand are supposed to work?” – MN Gordon
