  • Mark Cuban: You Never See Trump ‘Around Strong, Intelligent Women’

    Billionaire investor Mark Cuban claimed Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that you never see former President Donald Trump around “strong, intelligent women.” Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked, “Well Mark let me ask you because you were a Nikki Haley supporter like I was in the primary but now you’re supporting Kamala Harris. It turns out Donald Trump is not even asking Nikki Haley for her help to try to reach her voters. What do you make of that, and do you think having people like Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and other Republicans with Kamala Harris is going to put her...

    Donald Trump is facing an extreme sliding-doors scenario on Election Day. If he wins, he would have the power to single-handedly scuttle the federal criminal cases against him, be immune from prosecution while in office, and, thanks to the Supreme Court, have broad immunity from prosecution once — if — he leaves. If he loses, though, he will face criminal penalties that could leave him in command of a 70-square-foot prison cell for most of the rest of his life. “He will be facing serious legal jeopardy if he loses. He knows that,” says Bennett Gershman, a professor of constitutional...

So who’s the threat to Democracy?Biden Tries to Overrule Courts a Third TimeThe Wall Street Journal reports Biden Snubs the Courts Again on Student Loan Forgiveness‘That didn’t stop me,” President Biden declared after the Supreme Court blocked his $430 billion student loan write-off in 2023. It sure didn’t. After striking out in court with three debt forgiveness schemes, the Administration on Friday unveiled another. Take that, judges.The Education Department says its proposed rule would authorize forgiveness for some eight million borrowers experiencing “hardship.” Under the rule, the department can discharge debt...

    Confounded Interest ^ | 10/24/2024 | Anthony B. Sanders
    I just watched Dennis Quaid in “Reagan”. Excellent film. But it reminded me of how Reagan sank the Soviet Union: by outspending the Soviet Union on the arms race. It worked! The Soviet Union, hamstrung by grossly inefficent central planning, couldn’t keep up and collapsed under President George H.W.Bush. Fast forward to today. Starting with Barack Obama and Joe Biden in 2009, following the financial crisis in 2008. The Federal government ramped up Federal spending, and Federal debt. While The Federal Reserve, the hand maiden to the Federal government, ramped up M2 Money supply. “You never want a serious crisis...
  • China faces $800 billion in non-standard debt defaults; Banks struggle with liquidity.

    10/25/2024 11:30:15 AM PDT · by davikkm · 21 replies
    China is currently facing a staggering $800 billion in defaults in its non-standard debt market. Much of this debt is tied to Local Government Financing Vehicles (LGFVs), which issue fixed-income investments that aren’t publicly traded and are primarily used to fund infrastructure projects. Analysts estimate the size of this non-standard debt market to be massive, and recent data shows an alarming increase in defaults. In just the first nine months of 2024, 60 non-standard debt products tied to LGFVs have either defaulted or flagged repayment risks—up 20% compared to the same period last year. This surge has set a record...
  • Civility? Unity? No, Struggling Kamala Ratchets Up Rhetoric To Assassination-Attempt Levels

    Daily Caller ^ | October 24, 2024 | John Loftus - Editor at Large
    Whatever happened to all the calls for civility and cooled-down political rhetoric in the wake of the two assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump? Wait, weren’t we supposed to come together as a nation, as Joe Biden and Kamala urged, to stop inspiring acts of political violence, especially during such a fraught election year? Harris said as much in September after a deranged pro-Ukraine fanatic, Ryan Routh, allegedly nearly took out Trump at his Mar-a-Lago golf course. “I am deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today. As we gather the facts, I will be...

    The Media Research Center (MRC) seeks to uphold the original vision of Free Speech Week, and nothing encapsulates those efforts more than the free speech advocates MRC has honored this year. Free Speech Week was founded in 2005 by The Media Institute and the National Association of Broadcasters “to raise public awareness of the importance of free speech in our democracy – and to celebrate that freedom.” The freedom of speech is a fundamental American liberty, one that transcends political differences. According to the official website, the event, “is designed as a unifying celebration, elevating the vision of the Founding...

    Two things, each going in the opposite direction, make the headlines repeatedly today—neither of which the Fed wants to see. The Dow tumbled fairly hard today (-400), but the real news is the reason it fell. According to CNBC, the stock market’s most troubled day in over a month is happening because Treasury yields have been rising and competing with stocks. Treasury yields started rising when the Fed started lowering rates; and, according to John Rubino, there may be no surer sign of a bond vigilante rebellion. Or, as he put it, “Bonds don’t trust the Fed.” This “isn’t supposed...

    Daily Signal ^ | October 23, 2024 | Michael Buschbacher
    Vice President Kamala Harris’ claim that she “will never tell you what kind of car you have to drive” is the climate-policy equivalent of President Barack Obama’s famous lie about the Affordable Care Act: “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it.” But while Obama at least managed to get a law passed, the Biden-Harris administration has tried to transform the automotive industry without even persuading Congress. To be sure, while serving in the U.S. Senate in 2019, Harris enthusiastically co-sponsored legislation mandating that all new car sales be electric by 2040. But as vice president, she...

    NewsBusters ^ | 10/23/2024 | Joseph Vazquez
    The New York Times was so triggered by former President Donald Trump’s recent trolling of Vice President Kamala Harris’ employment record that it committed a major logical fallacy when attempting to fact-check him. Trump made a high-profile appearance at a McDonald’s in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania to work the fryers, on Oct. 20 and The Times couldn’t handle it. The newspaper fired off a bevy of whiny news items complaining about Trump casting doubt on Harris’ claim that she formerly worked for fast-food giant. “Kamala Harris and McDonald’s: A College Job, and a Trump Attack” and “Trump, Slinging Fries and Smearing Harris,...

    MSNBC host Alex Wagner was left in shock after speaking to a group of black women in Philadelphia who told her they were voting for former president Donald Trump, not Kamala Harris. Harris has failed to lock up the black women in Philadelphia thus far. In the video, the ladies said that their reason for voting for Trump had nothing to do with race or sex but rather distrust of Harris. They also said the fact that Harris has been vice president for the last three and a half years has proven she is unable to fix the problems she...

    President Donald Trump lit it up over the weekend at McDonald's in Bucks County, PA. He worked the fry station and the drive thru window. It got all kinds of attention and he looked like he was in his element. The left lost their minds over it, which made it extra hilarious. It showed once again, Trump's natural ability to interact with people as opposed to Kamala Harris' lack of ability. It was a brilliant campaign move and brought epic images including this one. He was also cheered by steelworkers in Latrobe, PA and at the Pittsburgh Steelers game on...

    The rapper doesn't appear to see a downside in America more closely resembling its neediest city. Lizzo elicited criticism over the weekend for embracing President Donald Trump's warning that Kamala Harris would leave the whole country looking like Detroit — and suggesting that such an outcome would be optimal. The rapper, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, informed her supporters prior to taking a private jet to stump for the Green New Deal advocate, "This is how a bad b**** saves democracy." Jefferson, who now lives nearly 2,000 miles away in a $15 million California mansion, later told a...
