Today, I went to the grocery store and purchased $20 worth of vegetables.
I now have a $20 trade deficit with the grocery store.
They clearly ripped me off.
I will now cut off all trade with the grocery store and let my family starve in order to Make My Household Great Again.
Six months after the killing of her son, Alex Pretti, his mother is sharing a heartbreaking message about the grief she says has only deepened with time.
In an emotional post marking the six-month anniversary of Alex’s death, she writes that no one has been held accountable and says her family has never received an apology or even a single phone call from government officials, hospital personnel, or the Minneapolis Police Department. At the same time, she expressed profound gratitude for the overwhelming support her family has received from people around the world, urging others to continue speaking out and never forget what Alex stood for.
Her full statement:
“Today marks the six-month anniversary of Alex’s murder. No-one has been held accountable, no apologies, not a single phone call from any governmental official, hospital personnel, or the Mpls police dept. Six-months of pain, a roller-coaster of trauma over and over. Every time another a death, another mention, a picture, a tribute, a sorrow so deep. I wonder how to move forward. Will I ever get over this loss and this pain? Will I ever be able to enjoy life again? How does one live knowing that I have no power to change what has happened?
And yet the out-reach not only from Minnesota, but from around the world has been nothing less than spectacular. Every card, every gift, every heartfelt letter has been read, touched, held, and cherished by us all. The kindness you’ve all shown us is beyond words. Please never forget Alex and what he believed in ~ equality and peace for all. I will remember the things that made you, you. It will never take your memory. As long as I’m here, you will never be forgotten.
For all you asking what you can do. Continue this fight. Never give up your right to speak out, protect your neighbor, your community and don’t forget to spend time with those you love…”
Our 5th warning:
The bond market crisis is intensifying.
The US 10Y Note Yield is now officially above 4.55% for the first time since May 2025.
After weeks of euphoria, the market is beginning to react today.
As we have been stating for the last few weeks, the current situation in the bond market is unsustainable.
We are now above levels seen when President Trump implemented a "90-day tariff pause" in April 2025 due to a collapsing bond market.
Furthermore, the market now sees a 60%+ chance that the Fed's next move is an interest rate HIKE, with rate cuts entirely priced-out.
We expect to see 7%+ mortgages next, all as auto loan delinquencies have reached 32-year highs.
Inflation is back and higher rates are coming.
