@Bruce_Markets @zerohedge Americans have always lived beyond their means, nobody is teaching kids fiscal responsibility. Nobody should ever have a credit card.

JP Morgan's latest tally of stressed and distressed credit in U.S. markets exceeds $200B across High Yield and Broadly Syndicated Loans. That figure does not include private credit, which I expect to be just as large as HY and BSL combined. When you add Direct Lending to the equation, we are looking at ~$500B+ requiring some form of capital solution in the years ahead. Opportunistic Credit is the flip side of the primary market for HY, BSL, and Direct Lending. When waters are calm, spreads are tight, and new issues flow freely; in this case, there is typically less activity in Opportunistic Credit. That calm is ending. The Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index has fallen from 98.0 to 94.5 as the distressed ratio of BSL is 8% and rising. Approximately 12% of private credit borrowers are now generating negative cash flow, with 25% operating with interest coverage below 1.0x. These are not hypothetical stress scenarios; this is the current fundamental backdrop companies must contend with. This statistic rises to ~33% when using actual EBITDA, rather than pro-forma adjusted EBITDA which on average has been adjusted higher by 20%. Capital Solutions will be needed for growth and for turnaround situations across the credit landscape. With the exception of the energy sector, which is performing exceptionally well for obvious reasons, all other 20 industry sectors have issues brewing as JP Morgan shows below.

@zerohedge Its time for Iranians to rise up. We did the hard part.

@bennyjohnson Now go after the "influencers" who push fake stories for other countries.

Huge moves. Very strong. Arrest more.

@farhadesmaeili4 @ShadowofEzra Yea I know. Like we haven't heard that before you robot. Lol.

Tucker Carlson hints that the first assassination attempt on President Trump was planned and covered up by Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. Citing Joe Kent, Tucker says the investigation into that assassination attempt was immediately closed before any foreign involvement could be uncovered. Tucker also says “good guys” in the government are secretly fighting Israel but are overwhelmed by its influence and power.

@Osint613 Ignore this old lesbian.

Sen. Lindsey Graham says Vice President JD Vance and other deal architects must testify before Congress to explain how the Iran ceasefire aligns with U.S. national security goals.

@OwenGregorian This is nothing new and doesn't mean a draft is coming. I did this in 1990. They just need a headcount in case a WW breaks out. Everyone calm down.

Eligible young men will automatically be registered for US military draft later this year | Victor Nava, New York Post Eligible young men will automatically be registered for US military draft later this year The federal government plans to automatically register eligible men for the military draft beginning in December, according to a proposed rule published last week. The Selective Service System (SSS), the government agency that maintains the database of draft-eligible Americans, submitted the “automatic registration” rule change to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30. Congress approved automatic registration for the draft last December as part of the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, must-pass legislation that authorizes funding for military personnel and operations. “This statutory change transfers responsibility for registration from individual men to SSS through integration with federal data sources,” the agency notes on its website. “SSS will implement the change by December 2026, resulting in a streamlined registration process and corresponding workforce realignment.” Under federal law, most males between 18 and 25 years old are already required to register with the Selective Service System in case a military draft is authorized. Men are expected to self-register within 30 days of their 18th birthdays, but the agency accepts late registrations until age 26. Failing to register with the Selective Service System is a felony. Non-registrants face a fine up to $250,000 or five years’ imprisonment and could also be denied student loans, government jobs (including federal, state and local) and US citizenship, if they are immigrants. Currently, 46 states and territories have laws in place to automatically register eligible men when they apply for driver’s licenses or IDs, according to the Selective Service System. In 2024, the Selective Service System reported to Congress that “registration rates … declined in recent years,” dropping from 84% of eligible men in 2023 to 81%. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), who sponsored automatic draft registration language in the 2026 defense policy bill, argued that it would save taxpayers money. “This will also allow us to rededicate resources — basically that means money — towards [readiness] and towards mobilization … rather than towards education and advertising campaigns driven to register people,” Houlahan said at the time, according to Military Times. The US has not had a draft since the Vietnam War, but the Iran conflict has fueled concerns that one could take place. “It’s not part of the current plan right now,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said when asked last month about the possibility of a draft. Leavitt, however, added that President Trump “wisely keeps his options on the table.” nypost.com/2026/04/08/us-…

@Ultraviolento17 @Raismango @TheInsiderPaper Oh I see, youre just a racist. Lol.

@JLS1776 @Raismango @TheInsiderPaper The United States is full of brown people, so you're probably a nigga

JUST IN - Spain’s Prime Minister, on the ceasefire, says Spain 'will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

@ShadowofEzra Does this idiot realize how many people would have to be in on it to pull something like this off and for nobody to talk? Secret Service, local police, DHS would all have to be in on it. Use a little common sense. This was caused by incompetence and a psycho.

@farhadesmaeili4 @ShadowofEzra You guys are nuts with these conspiracy theories. Lol

@ShadowofEzra China made it clear that if Israel nukes Iran, it will nuke Israel also. Russia made it clear they will do the same

@Ultraviolento17 @Raismango @TheInsiderPaper Lmao. Nigga ?

@JLS1776 @Raismango @TheInsiderPaper nigga ur country is filling up with Mexicans; in 20 years you'll be the United States of Mexico

@Osint613 Cowards, all these countries do is talk. They have zero say until they grow a spine.

Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese: The Australian government also firmly believes that the ceasefire has to apply to Lebanon as well.

@RogerJStoneJr @elonmusk They are trying to stop the bots. Now do something about Nigeria. People would lose thousands of followers.

Hey @ElonMusk I exposed Steve Bannon as a criminal who pled guilty to ripping off the build the wall foundation for $15 million and being a co-conspirator in a $1 billion fraud at the same time plotting against Donald Trump with his pal Jeffrey Epstein-have massive engagement yet lose over 1000 followers. Not logical.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 BREAKING: Tucker calls for a complete end to all U.S. military and economic aid to Israel: "Not one more dollar. Not one more fighter jet or bomb or missile defense system or ammunition of any kind. Because Israel is aggressively acting against our interest." He's careful to say this isn't about treating Israel as an enemy. It's about treating them like every other country: an ally with restrictions, reservations, and red lines. He wants a "healthy conventional relationship where Israel can pay its own bills and fund its own military." This is the most significant statement any major right-wing media figure has made about the U.S.-Israel relationship in decades. Source: @TCNetwork
