This is so evil, it's beyond comprehension. Ethnic cleansing and genocide happening in plain sight.
Israel announced the initial phase of “Gideon’s chariots,” the expanded ground invasion to permanently “conquer” Gaza, amid reports that Trump reneged on his deal with Hamas to lift the blockade, and will reportedly expel 1 million Gazans to Libya.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell:
“We may be entering a period of more frequent, and potentially more persistent, supply shocks — a difficult challenge for the economy and for central banks.”
Sounds familiar?

Trump lifts sanctions on Syria after offer of a Trump Tower in Damascus, praises MBS, salutes Saudi generals, and defends a Qatari jet gift—while banning press from Air Force One. GOP splits over drugs, jets, SALT, and Social Security. Catch up:

To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs
That means empty shelves, an economic slowdown, and layoffs, actually.

The Bush administration disappeared people too, sent them to a different gulag at Gitmo and other black sites, kidnapped people off the street of Milan, tortured them, in the name of "a different kind of war."
We didn't come close to holding them accountable.
We're seeing the cost of that now.

The tariffs in place as of April 15 "should" be generating gross tariff revenues of around $25 billion per month this year, and net revenues of $15 billion per month once lower income & payroll tax revenues are factored in. Instead … #EconSky

The logic of America:
Frank Luntz found this survey at the Cato Institute:
“America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.”
• 80% of Americans agree
• 20% disagree
“I'd be better off if I worked in a factory.”
• 25% of Americans agree
• 73% disagree
• 2% currently work in a factory

Gold keeps accelerating higher, while longer-dated U.S. Treasuries are sinking. I believe we're seeing the start of a great rotation out of U.S. debt -- which is no longer safe thanks to the Mad King's antics -- and into gold.

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed.
Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.

Some really ugly signals are showing in the markets. The credit spread is massively widening. Bond prices are cratering while equities are as well. That's really bad. Something is going to be break and spark a financial crisis. This is beyond what banks stress test for.
