Nothing to see here, just the GOP's top donor calling for the expulsion of US Shia citizens in Dearborn, many of whom foolishly voted for the GOP.
Their crime? Going on an annual peaceful Shia religious procession and scaring the white nationalists.
US Economy is WEAK. The Markets are still STRONG - for now
US Economy is rolling over. But - it is the DXY which will set the direction in Market the coming few months until the Recessions sets in. The Rotation to Risk Assets further out on the curve will dominate

I've been on such a high lately. I just woke up today feeling low. As much as I feel like I can't shake the low feeling. I know that it's temporary. Sometimes you have to just live with the pain knowing it will subside. What goes up must come down.

“We weren’t taught financial literacy”
You weren’t taught how to use social media, sex, travel, shopping or video games either but somehow you figured it out
One of the hardest parts of parenting is grieving the child you imagined so you can finally meet the child you actually have.
The anxious child.
The gaming child.
The awkward child.
The angry child.
They owe you nothing to deserve belonging.

Most conflicts with teenagers don't need a winner.
They need a little space.
Have you ever said something to your teenager that you later wished you could take back?
Have you ever noticed that the harder you try to make your point in the middle of an argument, the less either of you actually listens?
And have you ever found that after twenty minutes of space, the problem hasn't changed, but your ability to respond to it has?
Conflict is a little like a fire.
A fire needs oxygen to keep burning.
Conflict often does too.
The more we stay in the heat of the moment, trying to prove our point, the more oxygen we give it.
Sometimes the wisest thing we can do is stop feeding the flames and give the moment a little space.
Because when we're hurt or angry, conversations often start going in circles.
The same points get repeated.
Nobody feels heard.
Nobody changes their mind.
There is no winner.
Only two people becoming more exhausted and more disconnected from one another.
When we're angry, hurt, or frustrated, we often say things that don't reflect who we really are.
So perhaps one of the healthiest rules a family can have is permission to pause.
Maybe it's a phrase like:
"I don't think we're in a place where we can really hear each other right now."
"Let's take twenty minutes and come back when we can bring the best versions of ourselves."
"I'm not walking away from you. I'm stepping away from this moment because our relationship matters, and I want us both to feel heard when we come back."
The point isn't pretending the line wasn't crossed.
It's creating enough distance so that we can choose our response rather than react from our emotions.
As a parent trying to guide a teenager through big emotions, you don't always need to win the discipline battle.
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is choose where to stand and how much space to give the moment.
Step outside to breathe.
Step outside to think.
Step outside to remember who you are.
Step outside so that when you come back, you're not carrying the same heat you left with.
Because most of the time, the fight doesn't need a winner.
It just needs a little space.
