Paul Wellstone's Ghost

@FmrRepMTG @tparsi Based comment from MTG. Imagine the prolife crowd defending what Israel is doing to babies and children. God damned his people for atrocities and acts against his will, it will happen again and I hope that he is more unforgiving this time around.

Dear America, Our tax dollars, military, intelligence, and majority of elected leaders are enabling this. THIS. Are you too racist, ignorant, or cold hearted to demand THIS to stop?

@Phil_Lewis_ This reminds me of when George Bush Sr had a guy plant crack before his war on drugs speech

Trump used Saturday's shooting outside the White House to repeat demands that his big ballroom be added to the executive mansion huffpost.com/entry/live-upd…

I get the world is rotten, famine and killing of civilians happen in war but to this day the only nation that has killed more children have been Nazis and Israelis. Yet governments refuse to do anything to not seem "antisemitic". God will punish us all.

@esaagar Dude you're going to end up voting for the same Republican party come November and next November. You've been gaslighting and still take your daily whipping.

GOP electeds buck Trump EVERY DAY on immigration, housing, credit card interest, Ukraine, Iran etc Trump not only says nothing but even ENDORSES them Massie bucks him on Israel, Epstein, and sticking to his long held fiscal beliefs and all of a sudden its time for purity tests

@LeoWest20185862 @hermes5210 @intlmandotcom H1B visas are a product of capitalism to drive wages down. Illegals account for also keeping wages and certain goods down which is a capitalism problem. The thing with illegals and H1B is that the owners hold the power over the individual and ripe for extortion.

Fucktard, AI is pretty good and Google is at least neutral - American manufacturing is picking up as it said, while job growth is lagging/happening in spurts. I note you had no response to my remarks on limiting legal/illegal immigration. I’m not sure why idiot leftists are so in love with Government programs aside from you seem to think it’s the only way you can accumulate power. It’s disgusting really.

The 10-year Treasury yield is perhaps the most important financial benchmark in the global fiat system, as it drives valuations and market trends worldwide. It is widely—and erroneously—regarded as the risk-free rate of return. The 10-year Treasury yield can be thought of as a key barometer of the US dollar-based fiat system—a critical measure akin to its beating heart. Bond yields move inversely to bond prices. When bond prices fall, bond yields rise. A rising 10-year Treasury yield signals trouble for the US dollar because it means investors are selling Treasuries, which pushes up the US government’s borrowing costs. That is why the 10-year Treasury yield is a major pain point for the US government. The 10-year Treasury yield was 3.97% when the war started. Now it is around 4.60%, an increase of roughly 63 basis points. I expect the 10-year Treasury yield to keep climbing over the coming weeks and months—until it forces the Fed’s hand. At that point, the intervention will be sold as “stability,” but the mechanism will be familiar: suppress yields by debasing the currency. At today’s debt levels, every 1 basis point increase in the government’s average borrowing cost adds roughly $3.9 billion in annual interest expense. So a 63 bps rise is not trivial—it translates to nearly $250 billion in additional yearly interest costs, materially widening a 2025 budget deficit that was already around $1.8 trillion. Higher yields mean the US government must pay tens or even hundreds of billions more in interest on its debt. At the same time, the global economy faces even greater added costs because Treasury rates serve as the benchmark for borrowing worldwide. That is not an insignificant move. However, given all the headwinds I have discussed, I suspect the 10-year Treasury yield is headed much higher because investors will demand higher yields to compensate for rising inflation. Further, if Hormuz remains closed, drastically higher oil prices are all but certain. Higher energy prices mean higher prices across the economy and higher official inflation rates, which means investors will demand still higher yields to compensate. The problem is that interest on the federal debt is already over $1.2 trillion and is now the second-largest item in the budget. The US government cannot afford yields going much higher because the interest expense would push it toward bankruptcy. I am not sure how—or even if—the US government can manage this situation. Something has to give, and we will not have to wait long to find out what. The Iran war may prove to be more than another foreign policy disaster. It could be the trigger that exposes the fragility of the entire dollar-based financial system.

Beast mode.

@LeoWest20185862 @hermes5210 @intlmandotcom You should really read those data points because even at the bottom it says "AI responses make mistakes". Even watch that video. Your response even says "lagging job growth" which brings me back to my main point about unemployment in graduates. Now I know you're retarded.

From Google AI: US manufacturing under the Trump administration shows a split between rising factory activity and lagging job growth. While key manufacturing indexes hit multi-year highs and factory construction spending rose, overall manufacturing employment experienced minor fluctuations, with payrolls remaining largely flat or slightly below pre-tariff levels. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Production & Activity •Factory Output: Output indicators have surged; the ISM Manufacturing PMI reached levels not seen in years, driven heavily by auto production and technology/AI investments. •Construction: Spending on domestic manufacturing construction increased, supported by major corporate investments from automakers like Stellantis. [2, 6, 7, 8] Employment Trends •Job Numbers: Manufacturing jobs saw slight month-to-month upticks, but overall employment has declined compared to year-ago levels, with industry analysts citing instability caused by sweeping trade tariffs. •Rebound Signs: Administration officials point to recent quarter-over-quarter job gains as an indication that reshoring efforts and workplace training initiatives are taking hold. [4, 9] Track the latest monthly manufacturing data and factory employment numbers directly via the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics or review official policy releases on the White House platform. AI responses may include mistakes.

@LeoWest20185862 @hermes5210 @intlmandotcom Show me in this graph where manufacturing is up? fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgrap…

Lots of ways to provide jobs without using tax dollars directly - tariffs for one (American manufacturing is up), deport illegal aliens so high school kids can get jobs again, and then get rid of H1-Bs. I think we as a nation would be much better off relying on supply and demand for labor instead of Government spending.

@LeoWest20185862 @hermes5210 @intlmandotcom I don't see anything wrong with that when he says he will employ young Americans. Today ~30% of new grass can't find a job and palantir and ai corps say to our face they are building infrastructure to get rid of all employment. Call it what you want but at least he promised jobs.

@LeoWest20185862 @hermes5210 @intlmandotcom What green new deal?

@hermes5210 @intlmandotcom Not entirely - Biden blew the budget out with the Green New Deal and for some unfathomable reason financed most of our debt via short term rather than long term bonds. Trump is far, far from blameless here but it took both sides to get to this point.

@brennanleach No surprise, felons helping felons

Asked Cassidy about Trump’s endorsement in the Texas Senate race “I thought Ken Paxton was a felon,” he said

@kamikazecash Use bondlink to look for those bonds. I've kept track of a few in my state. Some are high risk tho

Mortgage lender in 2026: “Don’t worry, you’ll be able to refinance when rates drop next year.” Lender in 2027: “Anything under 8% is amazing.” I’m going to have to start looking at tax-free municipal bonds if rates keep spiking all over like this. I bet municipal bonds are paying hefty sums right now.

@foxnewspolitics So you got him down as a gooner? At least he's not a pedophile defender like the rest of the republicans

FIRST ON FOX: Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's deleted Reddit account reveals graphic posts about masturbating in portable toilets and praising explicit military restroom graffiti — the latest in a growing trail of vulgar comments that could define his race against Susan Collins. Platner has dismissed past controversies as 'joking' and 's***posting,' but GOP strategists say the pattern raises fundamental questions about his judgment and fitness for office. He became Democrats' presumptive nominee after Gov. Janet Mills dropped out last month.

The expect us to believe that a country with 1960s cars and people coming to the US in makeshift dinghies have an advanced drones?

After he won the Pulitzer Prize, Palestinian writer Mosab Abu Toha was invited onto MSNBC where he was promptly interrogated about why he wasn't doing more to humanize the people slaughtering his family members in Gaza.

@JeremySWallace @bradj_TX @MillerForTexas Arguing over .20 savings/gal when gas has gone up almost $2/gal in 60 something days is crazy. The admin literally caused this hike over a non existent threat from 8k miles away.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner @MillerForTexas not holding back as he rips Gov. Greg Abbott over gas taxes.

@tleilax___ This has been said for at least a decade. They even brought it back up around COVID so there's something missing here. Costs of production have also risen so the consumer is passed down those costs. wolfstreet.com/2017/02/16/ser… kbb.com/car-news/this-…

It is and auto loan deliquency is one of the canary in the credit coalmine.

Community banks are freaking out now that the Senate is poised to let crypto pay interest on deposits while being unregulated. Shoulda listened to Elizabeth Warren.

@Kalshi So capitalism is when you don't really have a choice.
