We can only hope that another network seizes the opportunity and creates a '61 minutes' program and dares to air against what's left of the once great 60 Minutes. Matters not who the sponsors are, you've got our support!!
By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.
That because it's loaded with too many add-ons that have nothing to with the key selling points. POTUS is running scared and trying to rig the election. It's better called the SAVE Trump Act!
Where's the 'massive victory for tRump?" Wasn't the straight open to all prior to his attacks? Weren't oil prices @ 60 bbl? Didn't the US have billions more in the bank and 13 more service people? He assured us he annilhated Iran's nukes last summer? What am I missing?
🚨BREAKING: In a MASSIVE victory for PRESIDENT TRUMP, Iran promises to re-open the Hormuz Strait.
For the first time in HISTORY, Iran will allow ships to transit.

Your scheme would have meant higher taxes (no deduction for Roth) during his highest income earning years. NP if he had unlimited cash. This guy doesn't sound like he did.
@KurtSupeCPA His advisor was really poor. Should have had him rolling smaller distributions into a taxable account at age 59 or contributing more after tax instead of pretax into a Roth. I'm not an advisor and I know this much.
Sounds like much of the $2 mil is in retirement i.e. 100% taxable. You can't borrow against that. And even if you could, most margin interest is above 10%. That's why.
Put $2 million in stocks. Take a line of credit using that $2 million stocks as collateral. 70% is $1.4 million. Take a little bit out monthly to enjoy life, just need to pay interest. It's debt so it's not income, tax-free. Why no one is doing this, especially at retirement, is beyond me.
This guy is SO STUPID... partner w Putin--build up defense of our enemy. Partner with US Cos or Europe /Africa and their profits can build up NATO defense. There is no end to this guy's stupidity and recklessness.
BREAKING: Russia is considering moving back to the US Dollar as part of a wide-ranging economic partnership with President Trump, per Bloomberg.
The partnership would include:
1. US and Russia working together on fossil fuels
2. Joint investments in natural gas
3. Offshore oil and critical raw material partnerships
4. Windfalls for US companies
5. Russia’s return to the USD settlement system
If finalized, this deal would change the global economy.
Fallacy #1. With the exception of cash/cash equivalents, this is ALL taxable income when these 'millionaires' seek to tap into it...retirement assets are the worst--taxed as ordinary income!! To ignore the liability side is not just misleading. It's wrong.
@dollarsanddata Median age of those people are about 60. So to say they are 401K rich but cash poor is misleading, because their 401K is available to 50%+ of them without penalty, and thus liquid.
This is the most important chart you'll see today.
It shows the U.S. Equity Risk Premium (ERP), more specifically:
S&P 500 earnings yield minus the 10-year Treasury yield.
In simple terms, it answers one critical question: 👇
ouuuu.... China and our soybean farmers will LOVE this!! Will 500% t's also apply to India, Turkey & EU. And Tbuddies in UAE & Saudi's...major importers of Russia's crude and diesel--500%ers also?
Big Breaking Jolt 🚨 🚨
This is not just a trade proposal — it is an economic threat aimed straight at India.
The U.S. bill proposing 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil, now backed by Donald Trump, directly targets India’s energy lifeline. India turned to discounted Russian crude to protect its economy, control inflation, and shield ordinary citizens from global fuel shocks created by Western wars and sanctions.
If enforced, these tariffs will hit India on multiple fronts.
• Fuel prices will surge, pushing transport and food costs higher.
• Inflation will rise, squeezing households already under pressure.
• Manufacturing and exports will suffer, as higher energy costs reduce competitiveness.
• Strategic autonomy will be undermined, forcing India to choose between national interest and external coercion.
India did not create the Ukraine war. India did not impose sanctions on itself. Yet India is now being punished for making a sovereign decision to secure affordable energy for 1.4 billion people.
This move exposes the real nature of U.S. pressure politics — compliance over partnership, punishment over cooperation. Venezuela was dealt with militarily. India is being cornered economically.
The question before India is no longer about oil alone.
It is about whether global powers will respect India’s independent foreign policy or attempt to break it through economic intimidation, perhaps owing to its weak spineless leadership.
Why India is being targeted with 500% tariffs, Zero Respect and Daily Humiliation — how U.S. pressure politics threatens India.
Are we missing something here❓
Is there something that Modi Govt is hiding from India❓
Nonetheless, it’s a bloody rotten fish here‼️

Every tariff paid has an importer associated with it--along with full contact information for US government. They paid it. They are the rightful owners. If they want to share it with customers, it's up to them. What's confusing?
🚨 THIS FRIDAY WILL BE THE WORST DAY OF 2026!
US-World Tariffs: DUMP
US-China Tariffs: DUMP
US-EU Tariffs: DUMP
Polymarket is pricing a 78% chance the Supreme Court rules Trump’s tariffs illegal on Friday.
Read that again.
77%.
And here’s the part that makes this ugly.
Trump is saying tariffs brought in around $600 BILLION.
So if the court nukes the tariffs, the market instantly starts asking one thing.
How much gets refunded, and how fast.
That’s not “clarity”.
That’s CHAOS.
Refund fights.
A giant revenue hole.
Emergency new tariffs.
Retaliation risk.
And markets reprice all of it at once.
THIS IS WHERE THEY FARM LIQUIDITY.
Bond rates PUMP/DUMP
Stocks DUMP
Crypto DUMP
So no, this isn’t bullish.
This is a volatility bomb landing at the worst time.
I’ve studied macro for 10 years and I called almost every major market top, including the October BTC ATH.
Follow and turn notifications on. I’ll post the warning BEFORE it hits the headlines.
If tariffs are working for US, why did affected countries beat us in 2025 market returns? Why are precious metals trading at ATHs? Why do our farmers need billions in bailouts? Why is US economy sick????
Markets hitting record highs ≠ tariffs working.
Trump’s post is political credit-claiming, not an economic verdict.
Yes, U.S. indices are at all-time highs.
No, tariffs didn’t deliver that.
The rally is driven by liquidity cycles, AI-led capital flows, Big Tech concentration and buybacks, not trade barriers.
Tariffs protected select sectors.
They also raised costs, strained supply chains and distorted pricing.
That is not an economic “boom”.
Markets respond to money.
Economies respond to productivity.
Confusing the two is politics, not policy.
The USA just gained about 1 million bpd of heavy oil being shipped to refineries in Texas and Louisiana. It was going mostly to China.
We have 2.6 million bpd of refinery capacity engineered for Venezuelan type heavy oil. They have been starved for oil in recent years due to Maduro and Chavez. They were forced to blend Canadian tar sand oil in recent years.
Venezuela will likely be able to grow their oil production back to 3 million bpd like it was before Hugo Chavez's socialist takeover. About 2 million bpd was exported to the USA back then.
This move will dramatically improve energy supply to the US economy.
Have you done the math on the massive costs and time to build out the antiquated and undersized VZ infrastructure for this to occur??? Estimates are 4-6 years and $1 Trillion. Not to mention skilled workforce estimated at 50,000.
Canadian trade policy just suffered a massive loss.
The one thing the USA really needed from Canada was their oil from Alberta.
We import about 4 million bpd of oil from Canada. That oil is mostly landlocked and most can’t be exported to China.
Now Venezuela heavy oil will flow to the USA. 1 million bpd now (no longer going to China) and it can easily grow to 2 million bpd in the coming years as American experts help Venezuela rebuild their infrastructure for oil exports.
Canadian oil exports just lost any pricing power they might have expected.
Trump is set to announce a $12 billion relief package specifically for farmers who've been hurt by tariffs.
This chart shows that China committed to buying 12 million tons of soybeans by the end of the year, but so far they've only purchased 2.25 million tons since October 30th.
That leaves about 9.75 million tons still outstanding on their commitment.
What this tells you is that despite the trade deal language, China isn't actually following through on their purchases at the pace needed to hit their target, which is putting pressure on U.S. farmers and soybean prices.
So the $12 billion aid package is essentially the Trump administration acknowledging that tariffs and trade tensions are creating real pain for the agricultural sector.
When tariffs get imposed or trade deals stall, farmers end up with excess supply they can't sell at good prices because their biggest customer (China) isn't buying.
The aid money is meant to cushion that blow while the administration tries to work out the trade dynamics.
The broader picture here is that trade tensions with China are still alive and well, even with the agreement supposedly in place.
The chart visually shows the gap between what China promised and what they're actually buying, which is why farmers need government support in the first place.
It's the kind of situation that affects commodity prices, agricultural stocks, and the rural economy more broadly, which is worth watching if you're tracking inflation or economic shifts in different sectors.
Grow up and get off an empty personal agenda! You are ill-informed. Prove your point against Shaw's. The Maine community is and should be thankful that HRD is here to compete with Walmart.
