There’s talk about interest rate hikes coming. The market is building in that probability.
The one thing that people don’t think about very often is that if the fed gets tighter, the stock market, which is way over at skis, will very likely fall sharply. And money will actually flow into the long end of the bonds. So rate hikes will bring a sharp flattening to the yield curve. That’s really bad for the banks. So you have a domino effect:
interest rate hikes 👉 stocks fall 👉 yield curve flattens 👉 banks fall 👉 indexes fall more 👉 investors buy bonds 👉 yields drop more 👉 and that’s how you get a bear market out of one that doesn’t seem able to even have a down tick
Good evening from the Coconut Tree
@KamalaHarris
Ma’am, (can we call you Ma'am?) we’ll keep this factual and review your actual record, not your reboot.
As a U.S. Senator (2017-2021), you were an original cosponsor of the Green New Deal resolution (S.Res. 59).
It directed the US to “divest from fossil fuels,” phase out oil, gas, and coal production and remake the entire economy around subsidized green mandates.
Your 2020 campaign was shorter than a Garden Gnome but managed to work in these gems:
You told the CNN town hall:
“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
On Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show:
“We will end fracking once and for all” while committing to the Green New Deal.
Your $10 trillion climate plan called for no new fossil fuel leases on federal lands, phasing out all oil & gas (even if renewables weren’t ready), a carbon fee, and doubling U.S. payments to the UN Green Climate Fund.
Before that, as California Attorney General (2011-2017), you built a reputation suing our industry.
The lawfare you pursued laid the foundation for the collapse of the California refining industry we are witnessing right now
You even sued the Obama-Biden administration to block new offshore permits off California’s coast.
Remember 2022?
As VP, national gas prices hit $5+/gallon (over $6 in parts of CA).
You told Americans those record prices were “a price to pay for democracy” for Ukraine.
But apparently the freedom of millions of Irainian citizens are not worth $3.97 a gallon now?
That seems - I don't know - selective?
Bottom line.
California still pays the nation’s highest gas prices — thanks to the taxes, mandates, and anti-production policies you championed for years.
Flying cross country (made possible by jet fuel) to North Carolina to make a video isn't going to change that.
And those are the facts - unburdened by what has been.
More viewpoint diversity would be better, but that's impossible to create when one side actively rejects it.
Before Elon bought Twitter, the right created alternative platforms out of necessity because the left severely censored right-wing views. When Elon bought Twitter, the left voluntarily created alternative platforms specifically to avoid contact with right-wing views, not because they were being censored.
So when leftists criticize X for its users skewing right, that's their own fault. They could always just... start posting on X to balance things out.
Bluesky is even more ideologically skewed than X, but to the left. But the right isn't able to meaningfully increase viewpoint diversity there because they get banned for uttering basic facts.
This is actual brotherhood. NHL star Johnny Gaudreau was killed by a drunk driver before he could play for this Olympic team.
When Team USA won gold yesterday, they didn’t just hold his jersey. They pulled his two babies onto the ice and put them right in the center of the world's biggest stage. A completely heart-wrenching moment
Last night was bigger than a performance. It was a moment carved into musical history. Reminding everyone that rock isn’t nostalgia - it’s alive, evolving, and still the heartbeat of music. Post you were pure magic, a shapeshifter with a voice that can bend into any genre. Slash, Duff, Andrew, Chad you are the master of your craft and complete icons. Truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤️ Ozzy was definitely in the building ✌️ 🙏🤘
Scott Bessent ruined Gavin Newsom in Davos
"He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros...
..he may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris! 💀
It’s all medical fraud.
After my daughter’s pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente tried to put her on puberty blockers and wrong-sex hormones when she was only 14, I did an undercover story when I pretended to be “nonbinary.”
I was approved by my Kaiser doctors over Zoom for a double mastectomy (top surgery) and a phalloplasty (fake p*nis) made from the skin tissue on my thigh in under 9 months.
It was only a $100 co-pay for my elective mastectomy and $200 co-pay for my phalloplasty yet the surgeons would bill $25k for mastectomy and $135k for the phalloplasty.

This guy gets it 🚨
Y'all don't care about your kids like I do mine, I'm not putting my life on the line for no stranger.... my families depending on me, if ICE is coming, I'm staying out the way, if ICE is coming to take care of the Somali fraud.. Thank you

🚨#BREAKING: New York City has officially raised subway fares to $3, effective today directly contradicting Mayor Mamdani’s pledge to make public transit free.
LA CONTRADICCIÓN DE LOS ZURDOS
Lo que está pasando en las redes sociales es un ejemplo perfecto de la hipocresía progresista.
Veo en todos lados a venezolanos festejando la caída del dictador narcoterrorista Maduro pero también veo a todos los comunistas que viven en democracias occidentales (que son cada vez menos) llorando por el innegable fracaso de su ideología, que derivó en una dictadura asesina.
Los progresistas dicen amar la democracia, pero lloran cuando cae un dictador. Eso los pinta de cuerpo entero. Dicen defender al pueblo, pero odian verlo festejar su libertad (o lo que a ellos no les gusta).
Además, el ex-dictador Maduro, que ahora pasará el resto de sus días en una cárcel norteamericana por haber sido el jefe de una organización narcoterrorista que dejó al 90% de los venezolanos en la pobreza, obligando a 8 millones de personas a escapar de su país para no morir de hambre y que para mantenerse en el poder se robó las elecciones, secuestró a Nahuel Gallo, un ciudadano argentino, y lo tiene desaparecido desde entonces.
Pero claro, los cipayos somos nosotros, los que defendemos a los argentinos, los que defendemos a la libertad y a la democracia.
Pero eso se acabó. Basta. No toleramos más las psicopateadas de los que arruinaron no sólo a nuestro país, sino a toda la región, con ideas socialistas y prácticas políticas dignas del fascismo más rancio.
Venezuela celebra.
Venezuela es Libre.
La izquierda llora.
La Libertad Avanza.
VIVA LA LIBERTAD CARAJO 🇦🇷🤝🇻🇪
Let me get this straight
- In 1913, zero American families paid income tax.
- In 2025, every family paid income tax, and about 2/3rds of it just covered fraud.
We have become a tax-farm for politicians to enrich themselves and anyone who they can import to vote for them
🚨 HOLY SMOKES! A generational betrayal has occurred - HUD Sec. Scott Turner confirmed that the Democrats gave government-backed MORTGAGES to illegal aliens, harming American citizens.
They're now being purged.
TURNER: "We took away FHA-backed mortgages from illegal aliens. During the Biden administration, they turned a blind eye!"
"Over 12M illegals came over the border...we work with Sec. Noem to make sure only US citizens live in HUD-funded housing."
"We are mandating every public housing authority tell us who's living in every unit."
Unbelievable this was allowed.
THEN: Tim Walz signs “Driver’s Licenses for All” law, which allowed illegals to obtain government-issued photo IDs…for free.
NOW: Minnesota election officials CONFIRM that illegals can vote in state elections using those driver’s licenses.
I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.
I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.
Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.
However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.
When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.
The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.
Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?
I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.
The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.
Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.
Charlie Kirk assassinated by a leftist trans activist...
The Right:
- Prays, mourns and goes to church
The Left:
- Democrat pedophile George Zinn distracts law enforcement falsely claiming to be Charlie’s shooter, helping the assassin get away, charged criminally
- Bomb was planted on a Fox News vehicle by two Democrat voters, criminal and terrorism charges
- Massive Charlie Kirk memorial vandalized and destroyed in Arizona, criminal charges
- DNC super-donor shoots up the ABC affiliate building in Sacramento, criminal charges
- Jimmy Kimmel Show suspended for lying about left wing terrorism
- Thousands upon thousands of leftist losing their jobs for celebrating Kirk's death
- A Texas Tech student assaulted a Charlie Kirk supporter, expulsion and criminal charges
- A Texas State student mocked Charlie’s death and threatened TPUSA students, expulsion
- 58 House Democrats vote AGAINST disavowing political violence
- Brett Kavanaugh's left-wing political assassin comes out as trans
= A bomb threat at RFK Jr’s house, criminal charges
This is all in one week.
Tell me this is a 'both-sides' issue. No. Political violence in America is driven entirely by Left-wing violence committed by Democrats. It is a national epidemic, driven by the media and those in power who actively celebrate violence as a political tool. It’s only getting worse.
Law enforcement and Republican politicians need to get very, very serious about this. Now.
