Friday Stuff

Farron Cousins lets us know that economists are warning that we’re on the brink of a recession, and depending on what we know about the data (which likely is being rigged by our ruling cabal of sycophants and bottom feeders), we may in fact be in one already (and Justin Wolfers is definitely an economist I trust on this stuff)...and as far as this BS about no prices going up is concerned, let me ask you why a pound of bacon that use to cost $6 has risen by 50 percent, along with the fact that a bag of Dunkin’ Donuts ground roast coffee is now $14.99 when it used to cost about $7 (both prices at our local Giant supermarket...and once more, Ground News definitely is worth it)...

...and I guess, instead of an old man yelling at clouds, we were treated to a typically unhinged rant from Combover Caligula on Wednesday night about his supposedly wonderful economy...Jen Psaki brings the reality perspective (with Vaughn Hillyard and Catherine Rampell, who in particular really “brings the receipts”)...and oh yeah, that $1776 number supposedly appropriated by our failed steak and vodka salesman represents funds already appropriated by Congress (here), and economists believe those wretched tariffs have cost families about $1700 per year as noted...Hillyard mentions those typically ridiculous plaques at the White House for prior presidents designed to make Democrats look bad and Repugs look good, of course (once more, because there are no actual adults in this administration, except maybe for this Susie Wiles person, who I’m sure will have a book published soon)...I wondered why the hell Pumpkin Pol Pot decided to do this nonsense NOW, with Christmas around the corner (that awful speech I mean), and when Hillyard mentioned the season finale of “Survivor,” it suddenly makes sense that Cheetoh Hitler believed he would get the lion’s share of that audience, though I’m sure he didn’t...and I personally don’t think this SCOTUS will go against #47 on his tariff madness, but if they do (as someone else noted), companies are going to line up to try and recoup those costs, which will drive our economy further into recession – love to be wrong...



...and Trevor Hayes of More Perfect Union discusses the criminals who bought Cantaloupe Capone, including the three behind Bitcoin, the founder of the “dark web” (Ross Ulbricht) which trafficked in all manner of narcotics and illegal products and services , the guy behind Binance (Changpeng Zhao) who was sent to prison for money laundering and fined millions, and others (report by journalist Jacob Silverman)...report revisits $131 million in crypto used by the Gropenfuhrer for the ’24 presidential election (once more, love and kisses to the High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR for Citizens United), as well as the $40 million dumped into Bernie Moreno’s U.S. Senate campaign against Sherrod Brown...oh, and it looks like Don The Con is trying to clean up with this World Liberty Financial outfit, with Steve Witkoff’s help (Emoluments clause? What emoluments clause?); if the voters in this country ever decide to hand federal congressional power to Democrats, this in particular should be investigated non-stop...it looks like Binance created some kind of a crypto-currency (a “stablecoin”) used by this WLF outfit; and oh yeah, this Saudi prince sends $2 billion to WLF to be basically laundered and sent to Binance, getting $2 bil in USD stablecoins in return – ultimately, the Emirati government gets a $2 bil share in Binance, leading to an SEC case against Binance getting dropped and those stinking NVIDIA chips going to the UAE...and oh yeah, let’s not forget Justin Sun, this Tron blockchain guy whose product is used for money laundering; Sun spent $75 mil on a WLF token and his multibillion-dollar fraud case gets thrown out by Trump’s SEC...also, there’s this ultra-shadowy group called Aqua1 Financial in China that figures into this...and just remember that some of this WLF currency went to Chinese crime gangs and the Sinaloa cartel...if your head is spinning a bit after watching this, don’t worry, because mine was too...



...well, at least we have Mr. Newberger to give our clueless, flatulent meat sack the treatment he deserves...



...and here are more seasonal tunes (and RIP Raul Malo of The Mavericks).
