Public admission from a senior official that a criminal operation that’s absorbed politicians from both sides in Iran has been siphoning profits away from the nationalized oil industry via exports sourced at the low subsidized prices meant for the domestic economy.

If there’s ever going to be an inflection to the situation in Iran internally, you’d think this would be a catalyst.

Carney's job was to extract as much as he could from Canada for his Davos masters while simultaneously turning Canada into a failed state on the US's northern border.

It's the same strategy they ran in Mexico. There are few things that will make me happier than watching Mark Carney slink into irrelevancy as Canada is finally absorbed into the US and out of the Commonwealth.

[Tom Luongo @TFL1728]

The reason everyone is out for Bessent's head this morning is because he's clearly in charge of the next phase of the Iran operation.

Too many take the easy limbic route to grind their personal axe, doing the heavy lifting...

...And that operation flows right back to London, Brussels, and the rest of that old network.

This ain't rocket science folks.

@mark_slapinski Weren’t you the person calling for the unvaccinated to be segregated, loaded onto cattle cars, shipped to work camps, and their assets to be stolen by the vaccinated?! Fuck no, psychopath, we’re not forgetting any of it.

🚨 BREAKING: “PROTECT EDUCATION ACT” FALLS SHORT

Based on the trial court’s ruling in Clark (@ClarkRimsza) v Fontes and county signature validity rates, the union-backed anti-ESA initiative does not have enough valid signatures to qualify for the November ballot.

The numbers:

➡️ Approx. 245,000 valid signatures
➡️ 255,949 required
➡️ More than 10,000 short
➡️ Nearly 70,000 signatures disqualified
➡️ More than $7 million spent by union backers

The @GoldwaterInst led the legal challenge, with the Arizona Free Enterprise Club and other school choice advocates working alongside them to review petitions and identify invalid signatures.

Many of the disqualified signatures were duplicates or were collected by legally ineligible circulators with serious criminal histories.

AZFEC President @ScotMussi said:

“This is a major victory for Arizona parents, students, and the integrity of our elections.”

The unions spent millions trying to dismantle school choice and still failed to collect enough lawful, valid signatures.

Arizona’s election laws apply to everyone.

There’s nothing more perfect than a baseball field. Skip Bertman explains it better than anyone else will.

Rest in peace, coach

Growing up in Baton Rouge in the Skip Bertman era was truly one of the highlights of my lifetime. Rest in peace to the greatest college baseball coach there ever was! 💜💛

We mourn today the passing of LSU legend Skip Bertman, the greatest coach in college baseball history, a visionary leader, and one of the most impactful figures in the evolution of collegiate athletics.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: President Trump's capital gains tax cut discussions include "indexing" capital gains for inflation BEFORE taxes are calculated.

This would mean that taxes would be applied on gains adjusted for inflation.

For example, if you purchased a stock for $100,000 and sold it 5 years later for $200,000.

Under the current system, you would owe capital gains taxes on the full $100,000 gain.

But, if cumulative inflation over those 5 years was 20%, your inflation-adjusted cost basis would rise to $120,000.

This means you would only owe capital gains taxes on the $80,000 REAL gain, rather than the $100,000 nominal gain.

Trump has also suggested exemptions for sales of homes worth $2 million or less from capital gains taxes.

We expect more details soon.

While it's true this applies to many, there is a growing number of folks that decided to peacefully non-comply. We don't do any of that any longer. We read real history, buy local, eat real food, etc. Everyone can make this choice and when you do...the system breaks.

AZ Democrat AG Kris Mayes was called out by Channel 3 for slow walking & pretty much doing nothing but run cover for AZ Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs on her pay to play corruption charges from 2 yrs ago. STILL NO SIT DOWN INTERVIEW!! We all know how busy Hobbs has been with photo ops making pizza & hiding from political debates.

Bessent Is Not Reacting. He Is Forcing Bretton Woods 2.0, and getting out in front.

Bessent is emerging as the most consequential Treasury Secretary since Alexander Hamilton and much of the policy establishment still does not see it. This is not a random turn in markets. It is the long-delayed reckoning for decades of excess leverage, central bank overreach, and willful policy blindness.

The roadmap was written in Japan. Postwar growth, fueled by mercantilism and Bank of Japan-directed credit, was supercharged through window guidance and artificially suppressed rates. The result was predictable: a historic asset bubble followed by collapse.

What came next, zero rates, quantitative easing, and a permanent liquidity trap, was not bad luck. It was the logical endpoint of sustained market distortion. U.S. policymakers studied it, then repeated it after the Global Financial Crisis.

The United States drifted into its own version of secular stagnation. Now, that era is ending. Supply-side reform, deregulation, and pro-growth tax policy, set in motion under Trump, are colliding with a repricing of capital and the return of private markets as the arbiter of credit and interest rates.

The reality is unavoidable: the global economy is buried in debt. It cannot function with structurally high rates. Rates must come down, not to stimulate excess, but to allow the real economy to breathe again.

Enter Bessent. What he is executing, alongside the Federal Reserve, is not traditional yield curve control—it is strategic control of the long end. The 10-year yield is the fulcrum of the global system. This is not volatility. It is policy.

And it carries real risk: the rise in long-end yields and the yen’s devaluation are fault lines. The lessons of LTCM remain as relevant as ever. Bessent is getting out in front .

The Keynesian response is predictable, hand-wringing over Treasury-Fed coordination. But this critique rests on a false premise: that the Federal Reserve should operate in isolation from elected leadership and national economic strategy. It never has. It never will.

Bessent is moving with intent: cutting off the IRGC’s financial lifelines while managing the unwind of the yen carry trade. These are not isolated developments. They are coordinated moves to unwind distortions decades in the making.

This is Bretton Woods 2.0, not just a financial system, but a strategic one. Rules matter. Standards matter. The Clarity Act is not a side issue; it is a signal. The United States is writing the rules for the next era of capital formation, digital assets, and financial power. That some, particularly on the Warren left, fail to grasp this is not surprising, but it is consequential.

Bessent is not reacting to markets. He is disciplining them and in the process, redefining the system itself.
