No, not the Claus von Bülow kind of reversal of fortune where has was accused of killing his wife. But this murder is coming from The Federal Reserve hiking interest rates even when they know that doing so could lead to a recession. And Biden’s anti-fossil fuel energy policies. “Fed Chair Powell Admits That Fighting Inflation Could Lead To Recession.” And investors in the Fed Funds Futures market see The Fed changing its rate-hiking ways in February 2023. Inflation is what is killing the US economy and millions of households. Financially speaking. And Biden’s approval ratings are sinking faster than...

According to a common saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” When it comes to the coronavirus vaccines, it has become clear that they have not put a dent in the pandemic numbers.

The ECB is planning on a Blitzkrieg Bop, monetary style. When Lagarde talks about the first line of defense, all I can picture is The Maginot Line in France, a failed defensive line that was easily bypassed by the German Wehrmacht (army). The European Central Bank will activate the bond-purchasing firepower it’s earmarked as a first line of defense against a possible debt-market crisis on Friday, according to President Christine Lagarde.
