Jerome Powell gave a press conference today where he all but used the S-word (stagflation) to describe the Fed’s current economy outlook post-Liberation Day. Should history repeat itself, that would mean Neo-Reagan is probably 6-8 years away.
The President has complete immunity according to SCOTUS. He doesn’t have to follow any of their rulings.
Every leftist and lib are either unmilitant or depressed
Nothing more depressing than reading a pro-gun post on the old chapo sub and seeing a sea of comments saying “If I bought a gun I would **** myself.”
Nazis splitting into smaller and more esoteric groups? Horseshoe theory confirmed
Pretty sure the DPRK would probably be fine with helping Iran develop nukes.
Also, as long as the Islamic Republic exists, I don’t think any treaty will be honored unless they have nukes. The US and Israel simply do not keep their word. I honestly think a nuclear Iran is the only thing that would actually keep Israel in line, and believe that Khamenei is honeslty kind of a moron for not immediately pursuing a nuclear device after the Soleimani assassination.
This is sarcasm, right?
How convenient for Israel’s lapdogs in the UAE that Iran is arming Hezbollah through an active warzone where the UAE’s proxies are losing.
One of the things that makes me the most sad is that there will almost certainly not be a Democrat who could follow up the Trump admin and do all of this same shit but to conservatives. Not because it would be illegal but because none of them have the spine to do it. Like just come in and cancel all of Musk’s and Theil’s government contracts and refuse to pay them and strip Miriam Adelson of her citizenship and deport her to Israel.
Trying to take over the Fed is probably one of the few things that would actually get him Nixon’d or even JFK’d.
The Saudis are going to turn on the China the second their US masters tell them to. What are they going to even do the Chinese? Stop exporting oil to their #1 export market, which is almost double the size of their next largest? They just increased their output, are the going to cut it back and also lose all their treats in the processes?
I get that China isn’t going to do it because of the timidity of their foreign policy, but they really should. The US would do it to them in this situation. China is already in this same Cold War as Iran and Yemen with the US.
The bonds in the market are for money that have already been borrowed by the Treasury. Whoever holds the bond will receive the interest payments and principal at maturity, but the Treasury already got the money. The concern is that, if you have a bunch of bonds that are priced low on the secondary market (and thus have a high yield to maturity) that the Treasury will have offer even more interest on new debt to make it lucrative for investors to buy. Those Treasury yields are also used as a benchmark for stuff like mortgage rates or credit card interest rates (10 Year Treasury Yield + X% interest) and are highly correlated with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) which is widely used as the basis for commercial/corporate debt interest rates (SOFR + X%).
Xi, stop playing their games and start sending Ansarallah weapons
Its certainly a possibility that countries are going this. It’s also a possibility that this guy doesn’t understand diplomacy or the tone diplomats take and is confusing diplomacy for subservience.
US Treasury bonds are stable. You will get your money back plus the interest you were promised. A flight to bonds means investors think the equity market is going to decline to the extent that bonds will have a better return, or there is going to be so much volatility that bonds will have a better expected return after adjusting for risk.
They don’t move the workers there, that’s why all of these stops are to cities instead of buying land in like Montana. They build it somewhere near an already existing population that they can hire.
They were able to set up one of these called Prospera in Honduras after the coup there. Xiomara Castro has been able to overturn those unconstitutional laws that were passed that allowed it to be set up, but all the US investors are suing Honduras in the World Bank’s International Centre of Settlement of Investment Disputes for billions of dollars. These tech ghouls have too much money and lots of lawyers. I would tell them to just fuck off.
The “CEO” of Praxis, the tech-ghoul backed venture that intends to build a libertarian paradise, has begun a tour of the world to determine where this techno utopia will be built with announced stops in Nuuk (Greenland), Buenos Aires, Rome, Athens, Auckland, Marrakesh, Tokyo, Kyiv, and Santo Domingo. He is backed by the likes of Peter Theil and Sam Altman, and some people are speculating that this is among the reasons why Trump wants to buy Greenland.
Choice quote from the article:
Brown said that many of Praxis’s prospective dwellers are technology founders and workers from Silicon Valley, seeking to pursue innovation in a less regulated environment. In Brown’s view, the creation of these high-tech hubs and the potential positive spillovers in terms of technological advances and new jobs would incentivize governments to welcome Praxis.
I’m honestly fine giving these people a couple billion dollars to actually build Rapture as long as I never have to hear from them again (

What are your thoughts on the redeployment of things like AA-guns as a counter to the Predator drones in areas like Sanaa where more modern AA defenses have been taken out?
