US markets are still very sensitive to hints of slowdowns, rate hikes, and inflation. And in the wake of the Fed’s rate cuts last month, yields have gone up, not down.
No news is good news. Follow the direction of the wind and adjust your tolerance to risk management. History repeats itself, and the pattern will continue after Lord Trump wins the election, President Trump will solidify the economy and therefore small-cap stocks, the bread and butter spine of the economy, mom & pop shops, small-cap stocks will continue to outperform other stocks months after the election, and the only way this can happen is if The Son of Fred is given the throne. 🤩 Swing states will go to The American Savior, President Trump and He will flip 3 very critical Blue States back to Red, the likes we haven’t seen since the 1920’s. 🤩 The polls are totally off from the last election, it will be like comparing apples to oranges when President Trump Declared Victory. 🤩, Crackpot Kamala will walk off the stage with her tail between her legs, just listen to her, she’s afraid of her own shadow! 😂🤣
Hope you're correct. And if you are, you can forget about the slutty toddler exiting stage left. The dimocrat communist's brown shirts (Burn Loot Murder and PANTIFA 'Always In A Bunch') will be on the streets burning down everything they can, primarily in the pussified blue areas where they have little fear of repercussion or reprisal. Meanwhile, their traitors in Congress will try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power while blaming the actual winners of the "election" for the Treason they will be committing. Is there enough Vodka and Xanax in the house for Camelface to certify a contest where SHE is the loser to Trump? It will be very interesting to see if she can choke out the required words from behind the lectern.

Hi Dottie. Nope, wrong. Nobody "leads the pack" in a Defensive Operation. Try to work on your reading comprehension, sweetheart.
Your team's rented thugs will not be able to contain themselves, and when our team DOES eventually go on offense, y'all are F'd. We know which end the bullet comes out of and we know which bathroom to use...

So, if a certain political party prevails, the appeal of visiting Minnesota could improve or the opposite - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8FtkpJGt6Es - either way, it could be fun
When I look at that beautiful train, and the sun behind it, I as myself, "Is is a rising sun or a setting sun?" (Hey, if KH can plagiarize freely, why can't we all?)
So, I have been trolling around here on BPR for quite awhile now. Mostly looking for lucrative trading and solid investing prospects. What is obvious for me personally is the levels of outright propaganda. This is obvious to others as well.
What is not so obvious is the root cause AND who are to blame. Here is where I invite my fellow U.S. readers to become informed. This is where to read: H.R.5736 - 112th Congress (2011-2012): Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012. It is in the Library of Congress - https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/5736
Now, here is a term that may, or may not, be familiar. It is known as "memory holing", a verb that means to deliberately erase, suppress, or cause people to forget facts or memories about the past. It's often done for personal or political convenience. This begs the question of whether or not American’s and other people around the world are being subjected to an intentional, pervasive practice.
Now, back to Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 which in about 320 words which legalized domestic propaganda. Legislators in the lower house saw fit to anoint any Secretary of State…an unelected appointee by any POTUS with the advice and consent of the Senate…the upper house.
Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012…not be construed to prohibit from engaging in any medium of information on a presumption that a U.S. domestic audience may be exposed to “program material”…
WTH is “program material”? Anything about “deplorables” or “fascists”, “enemy lists”, or…

The CRS provides comprehensive analysis on legislative issues including detailed reports on bills such as H.R. 5736, offering insights into congressional intent and implications of changes in law.
2. Government Accountability Office (GAO)
The GAO conducts audits and evaluations on federal programs, including assessments related to communication strategies employed by various agencies under new legislation like the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act.
3. The Brookings Institution
This think tank offers research and policy recommendations on governance issues, including analyses on media policy changes and their implications for democracy and public discourse following legislative amendments like those made by H.R. 5736.
Lying to a Federal officer is illegal. We know they can lie to us, and it is legal. Can Federal officers lie to each other? "Program material" is certainly an ambiguous term. It amazes me that lawyers intentionally use words to confuse the public, but then again, I am under the assumption congressmen are for the people........but not really. Ha, what a mess. To drain the swamp, we probably need to throw out all case law, statute law, and all congressional and presidential orders and start over with just the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And all of congress......
I see Japan basically as a village, quite different from the USA. Nighty eight percent of the population is ethnically Japanese . As such, we share almost the same history, values and mindset, which allow us to understand that we could be in deep trouble given our debt to GDP of 260%.
Today, by the way, is election day in Japan. Whether the Liberal Democratic Party can keep its majority is yet to be seen. In Japan, if you are willing to throw away a small amount of money,
almost any eligible citizen can run for office. Of course, living in a village means you would face considerable social pressure against doing so.
I believe the rates should do exactly that but it is only a month long trend. My take is everyone is not afraid of the big loss and maximizing risk because the Fed has continued to print more money along with every other central bank in the world for a long long time. It is also obvious to me, at least, that there will come a point where virtually everyone is afraid of the big loss, it has always happened. Sometimes it just takes longer than other times. Is it because we know the lefties in charge obviously will not stop spending and printing, that is their mantra and their primary and only belief. But what happens if the lefties get removed?
exactly, it is a race to disaster and the dims have a comfortable lead with repubs closely behind. I mentioned something on FB 2 months ago to an unthinking libtard that we are heading for fiscal disaster regardless of who wins. He agreed that the dims would get us there first......but Trump has mean tweets.....
This is because “people who are taking advantage of the government” are going to get “upset” when he and Trump start slashing costs.
“If I had full power to take action, I would balance the budget immediately,” Musk said, adding that the government urgently needs to stop spending more than it brings in.
JA: I like Elon but I don’t think I like him politically. He has way too many “irons in the fire.” He spreads himself way too thin. I’m still a little surprised that he wants to join Trump’s club after the negative remark that Trump made about EV’s. Elon is a mystery.
Hey Dorothy. So I think what you’re saying is you liked him when he was a darling of the Democrats, but now that he has woken to the truth now you don’t like him? He has come full circle, and now understands the rot and depravity in the current democratic regime. I am certainly happy that the richest man in the world and maybe the smartest supports Donald Trump. Did you ever take the time to ask yourself, why did Elon jump ship?
WFE: No, I have no knowledge of who Elon liked or who he voted for and I don’t care. Pray tell me what the rot and depravity in the current democratic regime is. I know there’s a lot in the Rep., regime. You put too much importance on nothing!
WFE: I should reword my response. I did know who Elon voted for after the fact but thought nothing of it since Elon does many strange things. One day it’s this, next day it’s that. He’s very intelligent but weird.
Well, if our dollar hits the skids, Japan will have bigger problems. Their system is based on the "dollar" world wide system, but if the dollar collaspes what do they do. They sure can't get into the Brics system, without having enough gold (40%) to back their yen. Unless their Federal Reserve has been accumulating enough gold, as required by Brics, they can't join that system. It appears that old saying, "misery loves company" will be the clithe for any country that can't join the Brics financial system, when and if the dollar craters. What am I mising, youngsters?
My fellow readers can probably find a plot that suits one’s own narrative inclinations.
There’s the plot of torturing Yamashita's driver Major Kojima Kashii to obtain the locations of the loot, the briefing of General MacArthur and his Chief of Intelligence, followed by inspection of some tunnels and caves in the Philippines, the hoard’s purported discovery which led to creating 176 "black gold" banking accounts in 42 countries after moving the loot by ship in order to support future U.S. Cold War clandestine operations.
There is hardly any worthy argument that the U.S.’s largest economic encumbrance is social security and medicare entitlements built into the budget. Today, Ed D'Agostino posted his webcast with guest Patrick Cox to discuss “How Do We Fix Social Security?”
Patrick’s credentials are vast. He worked with Netscape founder Marc Andreessen to help develop SSL encryption. He’s consulted for Fortune 500 companies, authored the book The Methuselah Effect, and published dozens of peer-reviewed research papers on longevity biotech. He’s also interviewed numerous Nobel Prize-winning scientists and researchers. And he’s appeared in The Wall Street Journal and on CNN’s Crossfire news program.
In this interview, Patrick discusses demographic reversal and the systemic problems created when societies have more old people than young people. For one, programs like Social Security start to unravel.
Patrick believes the only real solution is to radically extend our healthspans, meaning the number of years people live well and actively contribute to society. He says we are on the cusp of doing just that, sharing promising research from world-renowned medical institutions such as Johns Hopkins and MD Anderson.
Why on earth would someone want to live longer so they could watch their children die? The thinking in this world is so screwed up as to be unbelievable. I look at the world and tell anybody who will listen(not many) the simple fact that nothing makes any sense. I guess when you reach 85 you think different. (duh)
GF: Good article. Fortunately, Having experienced some of these things already, I can’t really disagree with his findings. Good advise for those much younger.
Perhaps the 250 young Japanese were attempting to reverse the population decline.
Did you see the video? (Asking for a friend.)
Make that 2 friends. Glad to meet you!
Well, as my old Economics professor told his class:
“If everyone at the dance is ugly, there’s still dancing going on.”
Seems to me that the recent "election" was a roadsign, reading:
BRIDGE OUT AHEAD - Reduce speed to 60.

"But what happens if the lefties get removed?"
In that case, we get a bunch of alleged "Righties", 90% of which might, just MIGHT, spend a tiny bit less...

Yea probably. If history is any significance you are right. If the bond market continues to collapse then reality just may play a part.
Quote from Elon Musk
This is because “people who are taking advantage of the government” are going to get “upset” when he and Trump start slashing costs.
“If I had full power to take action, I would balance the budget immediately,” Musk said, adding that the government urgently needs to stop spending more than it brings in.

What is Japan missing? Their gold hoard. "The Tiger of Malaya" a.ka. general Tomoyuki Yamashita’s treasure
It is like a buffet of myth, legends, conflations, wild-to-mild treasure hunting tales plus the bonus of plausible deniability.
