I just finished reading Stuart's piece in Zeteo. If you haven't read it, stop what you're doing and go read it. Right Now. I totally support every one of the actions Stuart lists: Defund ICE and put the money into block grants for more police officers and training; Pass the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act (first introduced in 2021); Make stock trading by congress members illegal; Require winners (Pres, VP, etc) to release ten years of tax returns; same for cabinet nominees; erect a statue in the Capitol honoring the brave police defenders from January 6; Move Ghislaine Maxwell back to a proper prison; Investigate possible illegal activity by DOGE; Investigate Presidential (I'm talking about you, Donnie) corruption. Wow! these ideas are awesome and the Dems could initiate all of them - ALL OF THEM - in the first week!! Touchdown Stuart Stevens!!!

Could many current problems with the Dem Party, their seeming paralysis, etc., be largely due to still being stunned that Trump, any candidate like Trump, got elected, not once, but twice! They are still knocked off their "feet", their "stance". What? Being moral, honest, ethical, working for peace, fairness - for all - that doesn't win? But corrupt selfish violence does? So, they're still "stunned". I am, too. But, Bernie, AOC, Warren, Beato, Kalra, ...; they are not stunned. ONWARD!

The End Of The Line For Fiat Currencies (from Macleod Substack)

The shape of the next financial crisis is now becoming apparent. Rising bond yields, driven by increasing risk in the light of G7 government debt crises in the four major currencies will have the following consequences:

· A collapse in equities, the suddenness of which will be exacerbated by sudden awareness of the knock-on consequences

The BRICS coalition is establishing an alternative to using the dollar as a reserve currency in international trade involving 50 countries This deals a significant blow to the hegemony of the dollar in use of international trade

· Liquidation of malinvestments in the private sector, leading to insolvencies, unemployment, and potential banking distress

· Panicked collateral liquidation of equity stocks by banks as loans become uncovered

· Economic slumps in all the G7, leading to lower tax revenues and higher welfare costs leading to soaring budget deficits, which in turn tightens the bond trap screws

· A doom loop of rising bond yields, interest rates, deficits, collapsing financial collateral values, deepening economic slumps, corporate failures, and banking crises Rinse and repeat, again and again

· Financial and systemic contagion between G7 nations will ensure that none of them escape the collapse, and individual national remedies will be overwhelmed

In a nutshell, the entire system of credit embodied in fiat currencies faces the prospect of a rapid collapse

This is a Power Duo! I hope you two do get together more and discuss the topics you couldn't explore in depth tonight. I pray the Dems were or will listen. I love Stuart's slogan: "We're right; They're wrong!"

Love your commentary…Just had to spend a couple of weeks in Deep South GA to help take care of failing parents who deny their incapacities. It was a world of incomprehension. They knew nothing of reality. If my mother weren’t demented I’d surely do her in. If I hear a demented idgit talk about illegal aliens again…

If she weren’t my mother, I’d slam her head. I am so sick of these idiots. But now I recover. I take care of my property. I head back home to GA to take care of people I hate. Their thank yous mean nothing to me. They are MAGA idiots and deserve to die. This is so sad.
