Josh Brown on the lost decade for the stock market:
"You could've bought the SPY in 2000 and not seen a single dollar of gain until the end of 2009. Two of the worst recessions the country has ever seen happened back to back. And during that time, I just kept buying."

PRIOR TO IRAN ATTACKS, U.S. CIA ASSESSED THAT EVEN IF SUPREME LEADER KHAMENEI WAS KILLED, HE WOULD LIKELY BE REPLACED BY HARDLINE ELEMENTS OF THE ISLAMIC REVOLUTIONARY GUARD CORPS, SOURCES SAY
Reports confirm that Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho", the longtime leader and founder of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of Mexico's most powerful and violent criminal organizations, was killed on February 22, 2026, during a Mexican military operation in the state of Jalisco (specifically in areas like Tapalpa or nearby strongholds). This is a major development, described as one of the most significant blows to organized crime in Mexico since the capture of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. El Mencho had a $15 million U.S. bounty on his head and led the CJNG's expansion into fentanyl trafficking, extortion, fuel theft, and widespread violence. The announcement has triggered immediate and intense retaliation from CJNG elements, leading to widespread chaos across multiple states:
Narcobloqueos(road blockades with burning vehicles), fires (including reports of incidents near a Costco in Puerto Vallarta), and clashes.
Violence reported in states including Jalisco, Michoacán, Colima, Guanajuato, Nayarit, Guerrero, Aguascalientes, and Tamaulipas.
Disruptions at airports (e.g., evacuations and active shooter reports at Guadalajara International Airport, though some official statements claim operations continue normally).
Red alerts, shelter-in-place advisories (including from the U.S. Embassy for American citizens in affected areas), event cancellations, and prison breaks in some reports.
Overloaded security forces dealing with spikes on roads, armed groups, and general unrest as cartel members react to the leadership vacuum. This level of immediate backlash is typical after the death of a major cartel figure, as factions move to assert control, settle scores, or deter further government actions. Authorities have not released full official details yet (some confirmations come from anonymous federal sources or media like AP, Milenio, El Universal, and others), and the situation remains fluid with ongoing operations. The U.S. has welcomed the news, with statements noting it's a win against drug trafficking networks affecting both countries. Expect potential power struggles within CJNG or rival groups in the coming days/weeks, which could escalate or shift violence patterns.
We must hold the entire class accountable.
This is bigger than Epstein.
Prosecuting rich and powerful people who break the law is one of the ways to restore faith in government.
Five schools have produced a U.S. president and a Super Bowl-winning QB.

If Drake Maye wins this year, UNC will be the sixth (James K. Polk).
Heartwarming: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott took his offensive linemen out to dinner to thank them for their performance during the season.
Dallas will be a problem next season.
What a fantastic behind-the-scenes look ❤️
When President Trump visited Fort Bragg over the summer, it appears that he watched a training operation very similar to the one that captured Nicolas Maduro
