Institutions are buying

Banks are buying

The Trumps are buying

Retail is bearish.

Does that make sense to you?

While you sell your bags, Smart money is buying them.

As I assessed last night, the impact of the Iranian ballistic missiles was in the billeting/berthing area for troops at a time when the area would most likely be occupied by troops not on a mission.

Shelters in these area are simple and made of concrete. They are not designed to withstand the impact of a ballistic missile. They are designed to protect you from the fragmentation of a nearby explosion.

The shelters are usually setup between the berths so that you don't have to go far during an incoming attack to find some safety. There are shelters farther away if you have time to get there.

These are some older examples, but representative of what troops had available to them last night.

Japan built one of the world's most capable seaplanes. 🇯🇵

Meet the ShinMaywa US-2, a remarkable amphibious aircraft designed to do what most airplanes simply can't.

Watch as its four turboprop engines power it across the water before it lifts off in a spectacular cloud of spray.

Engineered for Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) search-and-rescue missions, the US-2 can take off and land in seas with waves up to 3 meters (10 ft) thanks to its advanced boundary-layer control system, STOL design, and boat-shaped hull.

Charles Barkley says Steph Curry would’ve been ‘broken in half’ in the ’90s NBA

“I love Steph Curry, but if anybody with a shred of common sense tells me Steph could’ve taken the licks Michael [Jordan] was taking, come on, man”

“Not just the body blows, but the hand-checking, where you could grab a guy and he couldn’t move”

“If Steph got hit like Michael was getting hit, he’d get broken in half. That’s just a fact”

One strategy Iran has previously discussed is using older generation missiles and drones to saturate and gradually deplete an adversary's air defenses before introducing more advanced weapons once interceptor stocks have been reduced sufficiently.

There are early indications we may be seeing elements of that approach emerge. Several videos circulating from the recent attacks appear to show multiple Patriot interceptors launched against individual incoming targets failing to intercept.

🚨🇯🇴 🇮🇷 The missile that killed two American soldiers in Jordan also damaged multiple U.S. aircraft, both manned and unmanned...

-Per the WSJ, manned and unmanned American aircraft were hit in Iran's attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, where hundreds of U.S. personnel and dozens of warplanes have staged strikes on Iran

-The most alarming detail: U.S. officials say Iran has ADAPTED, firing missiles that travel at extremely high speeds and maneuver as they descend, with concerns the regime is getting targeting help from CHINA or Russia

-The base is defended by THAAD, America's most advanced missile shield, and the salvo still got through to housing units and flight lines

-Washington's answer is reinforcement: F-16s from Germany, stealth F-35s from England, and more tankers are all rushing to the region

-Iran formally withdrew from the MOU Saturday, with Mojtaba warning of "unforgettable lessons" if strikes continue

Denzel Washington improvised the legendary “King Kong ain’t got shit on me!” line in Training Day.

Terry Crews, who appears in the scene, has said he was so captivated watching Denzel that he was barely thinking about acting himself. He was simply watching a master at work.

You can feel it in the finished film. One actor delivered an all-time performance, and everyone else in the scene was along for the ride.

@JoeRoganRecaps There are only about 130M adult males in the U.S. and 40M males under the age of 18. That would imply that basically every adult male and half of boys under 18 all subscribe to OF. I find that HIGHLY unlikely.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Kremlin is quietly preparing to cut and run from Crimea—facing relentless Ukrainian precision pressure, the Russian Black Sea Fleet has ordered a secret, urgent evacuation plan for military families and elite personnel.

Leaked documents uncovered by the Ukrainian partisan intelligence group "Void" reveal that Russian Black Sea Fleet Commander Sergey Pinchuk issued a high-priority, urgent directive to draw up evacuation lists. The order, which carried a strict deadline, commands the immediate cataloging of military family members, civilian fleet employees, and Sevastopol garrison staff for an emergency evacuation from the occupied peninsula.

This panic inside the command structure proves that Russia has completely lost the battle for the Black Sea. With Ukraine’s naval drones and Western-supplied cruise missiles systematically turning Crimea into a deathtrap, Putin’s top brass knows the peninsula is indefensible. Preparing to rescue their own families while forcing ordinary soldiers to hold the line exposes the severe fragility of Russia's occupation—and underscores that Ukraine's ultimate liberation of Crimea is an inevitable reality.

The US govt debt just reached a new all-time high of $39.5 trillion. It will reach $40 trillion within 3 or 4 months.

42% of all income tax revenue now goes to paying interest on the national debt.

The debt will never be reduced. When bonds come due, the govt refinances at the current higher rates. This increases interest payments the govt pays.

in the next 12 months, about $9 trillion in US govt debt will come due. The US treasury will need to refinance $9 trillion, plus they need to sell over $2 trillion in additional bonds (new debt) to cover the govt budget deficit.

The key issue you have to consider is how this will affect you and your family. The US govt debt is swallowing the budget. The interest payments will likely consume more than 50% of all income tax revenue in a few years.

At some point this financial Ponzi causes bond buyers to demand higher rates for the risk of owning US govt debt. The US govt will always pay it's debt, but if the Fed has to print money (digitally) to monetize the debt, then the US dollar declines in value. That affects your buying power and quality of life dramatically. Everything gets more expensive, but your income doesn't keep up with the process.

🇺🇦 🇷🇺Russia fired more than 42 ballistic missiles at Kyiv, the largest ballistic barrage on the capital of the entire war.

-Over 42 Russian ballistic missiles reportedly targeted Kyiv in a single attack, an unprecedented concentration against the city since the invasion began

-It follows Ukraine's own escalation: drone strikes on the Moscow and Tambov logistics hubs of Wildberries, Russia's Amazon, killing at least eight and injuring dozens

-Zelensky says the warehouses feed Russia's war machine with sanctioned drone and navigation components, framing the strikes as answering Russian attacks on Ukraine's postal and civilian infrastructure

-Footage from Russia showed smoke plumes stretching dozens of miles as staff fled the burning complexes

-The exchange lands with Putin's approval falling amid relentless drone attacks, gasoline shortages, and battlefield stagnation

According to new reporting from the Wall Street Journal, multiple U.S. manned and unmanned aircraft were reportedly damaged in Iran's attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, which also killed two U.S. service members and wounded several others. Hundreds of U.S. personnel and dozens of aircraft have been temporarily stationed at the base for strikes on Iran. The strike reflects an increasing focus on targeting U.S. air assets as the conflict continues to escalate.

BREAKING: It has now been confirmed that, unfortunately, several members of the 480th Fighter Squadron, who had just arrived at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, were severely wounded as a result of the IRGC Aerospace Force's ballistic missile strike on the base in Jordan.

They are now being evacuated from Jordan to Germany. Those in critical condition will be transferred to the United States for further treatment.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

In addition to the Wall Street Journal’s earlier reporting, they also reported that U.S. officials are worried recent Iranian strikes on U.S. bases and infrastructure in the Middle East and their increasing accuracy are the result of military-to-military/intelligence cooperation with Russia or China.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced the completion of another round of retaliatory strikes, for the eighth night in a row, against Iranian military coastal surveillance and air defense facilities, maritime capabilities, and missile and drone storage sites, which were carried out at the direction of the Commander-in-Chief, President Donald J. Trump.

In addition to regular targets in the Persian Gulf and Southern Iran, CENTCOM also conducted precision strikes against elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that were responsible for ballistic missile and drone attacks on Friday, July 17, against U.S. bases in Jordan, which killed two and injured multiple other American Servicemembers.
