@BujokMr Oh boy…

Donald Trump not attending his sons wedding this weekend because of “Iran”, tells you everything you have to know about these final negotiations

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

@PolarityRadio @onechancefreedm Your random punctuation makes this illegible

You’re on a long streak of wrong. My friend higher yields are not gonna make the system. Crack flat or curves will make the system crack because that hurts the banks which are the only location where you find the most rapid deleveraging of risk. Because of five years of massive spending and a higher rates, we’re gonna have an amazing interest rate sensitive activation of the US economy as the international economy, weakens, and pulls down nominal rates

The 5% Long Bond Is Where The System Starts To Crack The 30 year Treasury yield near 5.18% is not close to its all time high. The all time high was roughly 15.21% in October 1981, during the Volcker inflation war. So we are still about 10 percentage points, or roughly 1,000 basis points, below the historic peak. But that is the wrong comparison. The better question is not whether today looks like 1981. It does not. The better question is whether today’s economy can absorb a 5% long bond after years of leverage, cheap money, inflated asset prices, record housing unaffordability, and massive fiscal deficits. That is where the problem starts. Why 1981 Is The Wrong Anchor In 1981, the U.S. was fighting double digit inflation. Volcker was deliberately choking the money supply. The bond market finally capitulated when investors realized the Fed was not going to blink. That was an inflation credibility crisis. Today is different. Inflation is not 1981 style, but the economy is far more dependent on refinancing, asset prices, and debt service. The nominal yield is much lower, but the sensitivity to that yield is much higher. That is why 5.18% today matters more than people think. A 15% long bond in 1981 was catastrophic because inflation psychology had broken. A 5% long bond today is dangerous because the entire financial system was built around the assumption that long term money would stay cheap. What Breaks When The Long Bond Stays High When the 30 year Treasury pushes above 5%, it does not stay isolated inside the bond market. It reprices almost everything. • Mortgage rates stay elevated • Housing affordability gets worse • CRE refinancing math breaks • Equity multiples compress • Banks face collateral pressure • Corporate borrowing costs rise • Federal interest expense worsens • Consumers lose purchasing power This is why the 2007 comparison matters. The 30 year is now back near levels last seen before the Global Financial Crisis. In 2007, the surface still looked manageable for a while. Employment had not fully cracked. Stocks had not fully repriced. Housing stress was still being rationalized. The problem was that the plumbing underneath was already weakening. That is the risk now. The Hidden Stress Is The Real Story The long bond is rising into an economy already showing signs of stress beneath the headline data. Consumer delinquencies are rising. CRE is under pressure. Bankruptcies are accelerating. Housing is frozen. Fiscal deficits remain large. Treasury issuance keeps coming. Oil and geopolitical risk are keeping inflation pressure alive. That combination is toxic. If yields rise because growth is booming, the economy can handle it. If yields rise because investors demand more compensation for inflation, fiscal supply, term premium, and uncertainty, that is a very different signal. This is not just a rate move. It is the market asking for a higher risk premium to finance the system. My Take The danger today is that the economy may be structurally unable to absorb a sustained 5% long bond without forcing something else to give. In a less leveraged economy, this would be uncomfortable. In today’s economy, it hits housing, CRE, banks, equities, corporate refinancing, and government debt service at the same time. That is why this chart matters. The long end is not just saying inflation might stay sticky. It is saying the cost of capital is rising in the exact part of the curve that determines whether the entire credit system can keep rolling over.

@Sam65488 @silvertrade Understatement of the week.

@silvertrade When your government tells you not to buy gold or silver, it’s probably time to buy gold and silver.

🚨MASSIVE BREAKING: 🇮🇳INDIA RESTRICTS SILVER IMPORTS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY⚠️ 🚨Silver imports for investment will be restricted, while industrial imports will be allowed to continue‼️ ⚠️Indian gov’t order seeks to ease strain on the rupee & prevent Indians from converting rapidly declining rupees into REAL MONEY (physical silver) “India ​has placed imports of silver bars with 99.9% purity and all other ⁠semi-manufactured forms of silver under the restricted category with immediate effect, the order said. The ​two categories accounted for more than 90% of the country's silver imports in the last ​fiscal year. "This move will reduce imports and tighten supplies in the local market," said Chirag Thakkar, chief executive of Amrapali Group Gujarat, a leading silver importer. Silver had been trading at a discount after the ​government raised import duties, but it is likely to start trading at a premium in ​the coming weeks." The South Asian country earlier this week raised import tariffs on gold and silver to 15% ‌from ⁠6% as part of efforts to reduce overseas purchases of the metals and ease pressure on foreign exchange reserves caused by higher oil prices. India spent a record $12 billion on silver imports in the 2025/26 financial year ended March, compared with $4.8 billion a year earlier. ​ In April, silver imports ​jumped 157% from a ⁠year earlier to $411 million, trade ministry data showed. India imports silver mainly from the United Arab Emirates, Britain and China. "It appears the government ⁠will ​allow limited silver imports for industrial use while discouraging ​imports for investment products in the short term," said a Mumbai-based bullion dealer with a private bank.” reuters.com/world/india/in…

Aujourd'hui je déconstruis la déconstruction. La déconstruction est le virus mental le plus efficace jamais conçu contre une civilisation. Il a été fabriqué en France entre 1966 et 1980 par trois hommes : Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Il a été exporté aux États-Unis, hybridé avec le puritanisme racial américain, et il est revenu trente ans plus tard sous le nom de wokisme paralyser l'Occident entier. Voici comment il fonctionne, et pourquoi il faut le détruire. La thèse est simple. Toute vérité n'est qu'un rapport de pouvoir déguisé. Tout texte sacré, toute loi, toute science, toute norme, toute hiérarchie, toute identité, toute institution cache en réalité une domination. Déconstruire, c'est montrer le rapport de force sous le vernis du vrai. C'est arracher le masque. C'est "démasquer". Formulé comme ça, ça paraît inoffensif. Voire utile. Qui n'aime pas un peu d'esprit critique ? Le piège est là. La déconstruction se présente comme une méthode. Elle est en réalité une ontologie. Elle ne dit pas seulement "interrogeons les normes", elle dit "il n'y a *que* des rapports de pouvoir". La différence est civilisationnelle. Une société qui interroge ses normes reste debout. Une société qui croit que ses normes ne sont *rien d'autre* que de la domination s'effondre. Parce qu'elle ne peut plus rien défendre. Plus une frontière, plus une loi, plus une science, plus une langue, plus une histoire, plus une biologie, plus une famille. Tout devient suspect. Tout devient négociable. Tout devient "construit donc déconstructible". C'est la première raison pour laquelle c'est un virus. Il s'auto-réplique. Une fois inoculé, il transforme tout ce qu'il touche en cible. La science est patriarcale, donc déconstruisons-la. Le langage est colonial, donc réinventons-le. La méritocratie est raciste, donc abolissons-la. Le sexe est une construction, donc choisissons-le. Il n'y a plus de roc. Tout est sable. Deuxième raison. Le virus est *non-falsifiable*. Si vous défendez une norme, c'est que vous êtes l'oppresseur. Si vous niez être oppresseur, c'est la preuve de votre privilège inconscient. Si vous citez des faits, vos faits sont contaminés par le pouvoir qui les a produits. Si vous citez la raison, la raison elle-même est blanche, masculine, occidentale. Il n'y a aucune sortie possible. Le système est conçu pour rendre toute objection irrecevable par définition. C'est exactement la structure d'une secte. Et c'est exactement ce qui s'est installé dans les universités, les RH, les médias, les administrations, les conseils d'administration depuis vingt ans. Troisième raison. Le virus s'auto-réfute mais ne s'auto-détruit pas. Si toute vérité est pouvoir, alors la phrase "toute vérité est pouvoir" est elle-même du pouvoir, donc sans valeur. Logiquement, la déconstruction se mord la queue dès la première phrase. Mais elle s'en moque. Parce qu'elle n'a jamais cherché la cohérence. Elle cherche l'efficacité politique. Et son efficacité politique est immense. Elle désarme ses ennemis et arme ses militants. Elle paralyse le défenseur et libère l'attaquant. C'est une arme asymétrique parfaite. Quatrième raison. Le virus produit des humains diminués. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Elle sait soupçonner, jamais admirer. Elle voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Elle peut produire mille pages sur le caractère opprimant de Shakespeare et zéro ligne qui vaille la peine d'être lue dans cent ans. Elle a confondu l'intelligence critique avec la pose critique. Elle est stérile par construction. Un esprit nourri à la déconstruction est un esprit qui ne sait plus rien édifier. Cinquième raison, la plus grave. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers. La croyance qu'une vérité est accessible à la raison. La croyance qu'un bien se distingue d'un mal. La croyance qu'un héritage mérite d'être transmis. La déconstruction a méthodiquement dynamité les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui avait nourri ses prophètes. Mais le résultat est là. Une civilisation qui ne croit plus en sa vérité, ni en son bien, ni en son héritage ne se défend pas. Elle s'excuse en attendant la fin. Voilà ce qu'on a fait. Voilà ce qu'il faut nommer. La bonne nouvelle, c'est qu'un virus mental ne survit que tant qu'on lui cède l'autorité du discours. Il meurt dès qu'on cesse de jouer son jeu. Dès qu'on réaffirme tranquillement qu'il existe une vérité, un beau, un bien, un héritage. Dès qu'on cesse de demander la permission aux déconstructeurs pour bâtir. Dès qu'on refait. Dès qu'on transmet. Dès qu'on crée. Les bâtisseurs ont toujours le dernier mot sur les commentateurs. Toujours. Parce qu'à la fin il reste ce qui est construit, et rien de ce qui a été déconstruit. Alors aujourd'hui je déconstruis la déconstruction. Et demain je construis.

@BurpeesCure Most underrated, obvious thing I’ve read in the past month, yet 💯 true and overlooked constantly in medicine. All symptom-focused and pharma-driven. Hope this changes soon. People seem to be waking up to this. Keep up the good work.

@CollinRugg @zerohedge Free security patrols with all those cameras!

NEW: 50 empty Waymos invade Atlanta neighborhoods and circle their cul-de-sacs for hours early in the mornings. Residents say they are getting waymo traffic than usual and have tried combating the cars with a neon green sign, which only made the problem worse. The Waymos didn't know what to do and clogged the entire street. "We have small animals and pets, got kids getting on the bus in the morning, and it just doesn’t feel safe to have that traffic," one resident said. The residents say Waymo has not given them a response yet.

@saylordocs Conveniently forgetting the loan in this equation, no?

Imagine a father who secures $100K in spot Bitcoin. He holds the asset until the valuation hits a massive $5,000,000. Liquidating the position directly triggers devastating taxes on $4,900,000 of pure profit. So he executes the perfect institutional maneuver instead. He locks the Bitcoin in a legal trust, takes out a collateralized loan against the stack, and lives off the borrowed liquidity. Because he never executed a sale, his tax liability remains at absolute zero. Upon his death, the heirs receive the Bitcoin with a brand new cost basis set exactly at $5,000,000. The government cannot legally touch a single cent of the accumulated gain. This is exactly how generational wealth is permanently secured.

@TheSurvivalPodc Come a long way since the Jetta TDI! 235k mi on my 2015 TDI and still going strong.

I drive a beat up truck no one wants or a Challenger no one can catch, I am good.

@Mangan150 Safer, too, when we find out some odd/alarming side-effects to some of these supplements years from now.

Peter Attia wants you to train for 10 hours a week and take a statin. David Sinclair says metformin and NAD+ boosters are the secret. Bryan Johnson wants you to monitor every possible biological marker in existence. And post about them. I maintain that keeping yourself lean, fit, and strong does 95+% of the heavy lifting in prolonging lifespan and healthspan. So until we have better anti-aging interventions, that's what you should concentrate on.

@nartiles @simpleappofcl Miles. Per day. LOL

@simpleappofcl What are the units of the numbers in the body of the table? That is how many minutes per day? How many miles per week? ... The table as presented is useless!

@loggyrhythm All the dads here know EXACTLY what was the last thing to go through his head.

I'd love to know EXACTLY his last thoughts while he was crushed. >>> A California vineyard owner has died after being crushed by elephants while on a hunting expedition in Africa. Ernie Dosio, 75, was hunting yellow-backed duikers in Gabon when the deadly incident occurred. Dosio, who kept an extensive collection of animal heads in his home, was trampled to death when he and his guide stumbled into five female elephants with a calf in the Lope-Okanda rainforest
