You have some serious psych issues about women that you should get fixed. Have you never heard of widows? Or how about a rape victim who couldn't abort under the new laws? Consider thinking, just a tiny bit, before you spout off your next asshole ...

Eight Economic Reasons for Americans to Celebrate

In the Trump administration, every statistician is issued a top hat, magic wand, and a Truth Social subscription. Calculators are confiscated and spreadsheets are heresy.

The US Employment Situation -- June 2026

They did, or you did? You will stop making dumb expensive mistakes when you accept they are your fault. Then you will study your decisions and improve them. Instead of blaming someone else, learning nothing, and repeating the same mistake again and ...

The US Employment Situation -- June 2026

All of that information is readily available to anyone making a good faith effort to understand the origins of the conflict. The ultimate tragedy here is that it was a perfectly good idea to establish a Jewish homeland, but it was botched from the ...

Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu: IDF to stay in Lebanon until Hezbollah threat removed

Do you really not ever ask why that's their stated goal? Bibi would like nothing more than another Oct 7 to justify continued atrocity at 1000x the scale of Oct 7. I would not put it past him to plan it himself.

Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu: IDF to stay in Lebanon until Hezbollah threat removed

I wonder what it would take to get them to do that... There's a pretty obvious solution.

Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu: IDF to stay in Lebanon until Hezbollah threat removed

Cheers. Current conditions aside, I'm optimistic. We have the means now to assemble true direct democracy and debug it to the point of actually working. I think we're going to get there. I'm counting on radical longevity innovations to let ...

Iran: 'serious challenges' remain in US implementation of MOU; interim deal clauses need to be...

Yep. The US founders had the basic idea right, but were still fundamentally elitist so it never crossed their minds to engineer institutions of statecraft to train every citizen in matters of governance. Their experiment might not have devolved as ...

Iran: 'serious challenges' remain in US implementation of MOU; interim deal clauses need to be...

I sure do wonder what a woke policy is. The whole planet was on track to getting inflation down to a dull roar before the Bibi and Donnie Show went on the road in Iran. That's not political ideology, it's grade school arithmetic. Energy costs ...

BoE Bailey: We'd have hit inflation target in April or May of 2026 were it not for the war

US isn't sovereign either, by the definition of legitimate elections. Aside from the electoral college undermining citizen's choices, the only choice offered by the two party system is which set of oligarchs get to exploit the country the most for ...

Iran: 'serious challenges' remain in US implementation of MOU; interim deal clauses need to be...

This is what separation of church and state looks like in the US now. A freakshow mutation of ecstatic evangelical mania and mindless flag waving, brought to you direct from the White House. Trump’s ’Freedom Trucks’ celebrate US 250th anniversary ...

Trump: I have Iran on the "ropes", willing to give us practically anything, and the Senate...

I remember that it had nothing to do with Iran at all, and the whole attack scenario was sketchy af and looked like a barely competent false flag op. But it gave the administration an excuse to start a new war nobody needed. I also remember the ...

Trump: I have Iran on the "ropes", willing to give us practically anything, and the Senate...

Lovely reply, and none of it changes the simple and obvious fact that christian beliefs have direct and ongoing influence on policy, especially in regard to Israel. Theological quibbles about interpretations are irrelevant, the role of Israel in ...

Trump: I have Iran on the "ropes", willing to give us practically anything, and the Senate...

I absolutely did not suggest anything so simplistic. Is Netanyahu consulted on every vote in the Senate? Obviously not. Are rabbis writing the bills proposed for new legislation? Nope. My point, which stands unrefuted by you, is that Israel has a ...

Trump: I have Iran on the "ropes", willing to give us practically anything, and the Senate...

It's not a wild assertion. In addition to the sweeping influence of AIPAC through massive campaign donations and support, DC has a very large and powerful component of hard core christian groups who view relations with Israel through a biblical ...

Trump: I have Iran on the "ropes", willing to give us practically anything, and the Senate...

A week later, it is playing out exactly as I described. There's still time for a lot of spin before mid-terms, so those results aren't firm yet but as of now the numbers say that the gop will soon lose their majority in both the House and Senate. ...

US-Iran deal will allow Iran to immediately sell oil: WSJ

It's not a government agency. Never has been. It is 'quasi-governmental'. It has ties to government via appointments, that's it. It's a private bank, not a public institution.

Warsh's gamble: A quieter Federal Reserve could mean volatile markets, higher rates

The value of the Euro is what the market says it is. Trade the chart, not speculation on sentiment or geopolitics or macroeconomics. Retail traders don't have the resources to be accurately informed on any of those things, and the forces that do ...

How Overvalued is the Euro?

yes
