Living at home as a 20-something was once viewed as a failure to launch and even a source of embarrassment in a culture that places a premium on independence. That is no longer the case. https://t.co/wRDoDfLF8d via @WSJ

Novak Djokovic, shunned by the Big Pharma Media Complex for not complying to the Covid "vaccine" hoax, wins longest Wimbledon quarter final ever of 5hr 15min against a 25 year old at 39 years. Don't do "vaccines" kids.

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.

The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.

Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.

Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.

They took until there was nothing left to take.

America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.

And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Not almost unprecedented.

It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.

The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.

Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.

That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.

Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.

No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has blood in its history.

But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.

It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.

When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.

By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.

Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.

The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.

They shaped the modern world.

AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.

1945 was the first test.

AI is the last.

That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.

The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.

NAILED IT: Scott Jennings: “I’m amazed at just how breezily Democrats are out there publicly discussing subverting the will of the people of Maine. Graham Platner overwhelmingly won a primary, 98% of what we know about Graham Platner, we already knew.”

“The voters knew, the Democrats knew, the activists knew, the donors knew. Everybody knew. They voted for him anyway! You know, Graham Platner hasn’t dropped out of this race yet.”

“You have all these Democrats, ‘Well, I guess we’ll have to get somebody else.’ You had a vote! This is a democracy. The Democrats voted, and now the party of democracy is apparently going to subvert the will of the people.”

“What’s the old saying, ‘You made your bed and now you got lie in it... Democrats ought to have to LIE IN THIS BED!”

Russian nationalist and Z-blogger Vitaly Voronov is disgusted that Ukrainian drones have reached Omsk, well to the east of the Urals in Siberia.

“Well, after Ukrainian drones started reaching Siberia and striking the Omsk oil refinery, I believe in Vladimir Putin even more.

BREAKING: Interest expense on US public debt as a % of GDP is up to ~3.2%, the highest since at least the 1970s.

This figure has nearly TRIPLED over the last 5 years.

Over the same period, national defense spending as a % of GDP has fallen to ~3.0%, the lowest since the early 2000s.

As a result, interest expense has exceeded national defense spending for 3 consecutive years, the longest streak in at least 46 years.

Meanwhile, nominal interest payments have risen +$711 billion since 2020, or +140%, to a record annualized rate of $1.22 trillion.

Over the same period, defense spending has increased +$237 billion, or +35%, to a record annualized rate of $923 billion.

America's debt burden is in uncharted territory.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Foreign debt demand is no longer keeping up with America's growing debt:

Foreign official holdings of US Treasuries are down to 12.5% of total Treasuries outstanding, the lowest this century.

This percentage has declined -24 points since the 2009 peak.

Over this period, marketable US Treasury debt has surged +$23 trillion, or +379%, to $29.1 trillion, near an all-time high.

At the same time, US Treasuries held by foreign government entities have increased by just +$1.5 trillion, or +63%, to ~$3.9 trillion.

China's Treasury holdings have more than halved, to $651.1 billion, the lowest since September 2008.

The US is issuing record levels of debt.

🚨 JUST IN: This German World Cup fan has gone famous for CRYING ON-AIR after he realized the anti-USA propaganda he was fed is WRONG — after an American man named Bob RESCUED him when he got stranded

"I was scared of the US...shootings, criminals."

"I've FALLEN IN LOVE with this country. This was so emotional. I even cried in the stadium." ❤️

Sebastian thought Americans were rude, mean and COLD

"Strangers offered him a ride to his hotel," after he was stranded with no way to get back!

"I LOVE USA...I had tears in my eyes."

The man even got more sad about having to GO BACK to Germany than his team, Germany, losing in the World Cup!

🇺🇸🇩🇪

PERFECT TIMING with America 250!

[Thierry from arvy 🇨🇭 @ThierryBorgeat]

The S&P 500 has repeated the same pattern for 100 years.

A technology boom that runs about 24-25 years. Then a decade where nothing happens.

– 1942: electronics and automation. 24 years. +2,536%
– 1966: nine years sideways
– 1975: the PC and the internet. 25 years. +2,665%
– 2000: nine years sideways
– 2009: smartphones, ecommerce, and now AI

2009 plus 24 is 2033.

If the pattern holds, this bull market has seven years of runway left. That sounds bullish. It is.

But look at how the old booms ended. The final stretch was always the steepest part of the curve. 1928. 1965. 1999. The last two years produced the gains people spent the next decade trying to win back.

Bull markets don't die of old age. They die of euphoria.

Seven years on the clock. The wildest ones come last.
