Saudi Arabia tells Trump it will invest $1 Trillion in the US.

But their entire country’s GDP is only $1.24 trillion. How is this even possible? The math isn’t mathing.

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax. The anti-Robin Hood.

Trump's current tariff settings effectively impose a tax rate on low-income households that's roughly TRIPLE that on high-income folks. That's not the way taxes are supposed to work.

NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market.

Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please.

Lindsey Halligan is incompetent and her cases may be tossed. She told the grand jury that James Comey had no Fifth Amendment right to avoid testifying at his own trial and they didn’t need to rely solely on the record because the government had more evidence.

Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.
