FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

Higher yen import costs = higher inflation. Higher inflation = more upward pressure on yields. With debt-to-GDP of ~230%, Japan can't afford higher yields... so it sells US Treasuries to support the yen. Which is driving up US yields. The same dynamic is also blowing up the yen carry trade, where hedge funds borrowed cheap yen to buy higher-yielding US assets...like US Treasuries. Both ultimately lead to higher US yields. Which the US can't afford... especially while fighting a major war.

@57Maranatha @micyoung75 There was no "open border" and Biden could have fixed many of its problems, except Trump pushed against passing it because *he* wanted to run on the issue and he didn't want Biden to have that win: thehill.com/homenews/senat…

BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Max Miller, Trump’s latest Iran deal, or his Capital One scandal, or have you not heard about any of them yet?"

As a centrist, I never criticize RFK Jr. for lying about vaccines, ivermectin, raw sewage, and 5G radiation. Here's why I think Anthony Fauci should be hanged for downplaying the lab leak theory of COVID.

My wife left me today. She said it was because I “never stop talking.” I said the yen carry trade is a $20 trillion leveraged bet that the Bank of Japan will never normalize rates and she said “I’m taking the dog.” Let me explain to you what I was trying to explain to her. For thirty years Japan ran rates at zero. Zero. Free money. So the entire planet borrowed yen for nothing and bought literally anything with yield. Treasuries, Mexican peso bonds, Nasdaq, your uncle’s crypto. That’s the carry trade. It’s not a strategy. It’s a short volatility position wearing a business casual outfit. Then in August 2024 the BOJ raised rates 15 basis points. FIFTEEN. And the yen ripped, the Nikkei fell 12% in a day, and the VIX printed 65. That was the tremor. That was the trailer. She said “you said this last year.” I said YES AND I WAS RIGHT, THE MARKET JUST FORGOT, and she started packing. Japan’s debt-to-GDP is roughly 250%. The BOJ owns over half the JGB market. They are the market. There’s no price discovery, there’s a guy in Tokyo with a printer and a dream. Every basis point higher on the long end costs them real money on debt they can never actually repay in real terms. So what do you do when you can’t default and you can’t pay? You inflate. You always inflate. It’s the only tool that doesn’t require anyone to vote. She said “our marriage counselor thinks you have anxiety.” I said your marriage counselor doesn’t know what the 30-year JGB is doing and she said “NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE 30-YEAR JGB IS DOING, THAT’S THE POINT, PAUL.” My name isn’t Paul. That’s how far gone we are. Anyway I’ve got canned goods, a Kagoshima yield curve chart laminated above the bed, and nobody left to explain it to. So it’s you now. Buckle up.

I implied no such thing. I said he didn't flinch; he kept doing exactly what he was doing. And only some of the "buck" stops at the president, unless you want a king. Or a dictator. He took care of the parts that were the job of the federal government, and left the rest to those who governed their own states. It gives me no solace to know that most Democrats are lying, hypocritical idiots.

Man, I gotta say, as an american. I love how trump illegally taxed us and now the biggest corporations in the country get a free check. Awesome stuff from the don't tread on me, taxation is theft crowd. Appreciate it. You guys are killing it. Also cool that Trump tried to ruin an Olympian's life because his buddy he gave a no bid contract too fucked up a pool. Again, incredible stuff from the small, limited government, 2A bro gonna take on a tyrannical government, freedom loving, constitutional #1776 patriots. You guys are on a roll. Really bringing back the patriotism and love of country. I can feel the red, white and blue flowing through my veins. Watching a country we are at war with hack our water systems and then watch the president blame americans for it. Just a real chefs kiss. Makes me want to listen to the national anthem over and over.
