I'm a pilot and I can easily see how this crash happened. It was early evening and not being instrument rated flying over water he lost the horizon (i.e. he didn't know which way was up or down).

Reagan won the Cold War and got us out of a recession by lowering inflation and reducing taxes.
The answer is in DOGE execution. Do you believe Elon can knock out $1T in government spending? If so, rates will be down significantly next year so get a 3 or 5 year ARM. If we cut spending less than say $500B then we are still facing extreme rate pressure from our federal debt.

I can play that game.

Have you stopped doing heroine?
Only "yes" or "no" answers.

Think he would have gotten this treatment if he said something against say, Ireland? Spain? Italy? Iceland?..etc


If he was blocking Spaish-American or Italian-American students from attending class and having anti Spaish and/or anti Italian rallies filled with hateful statements. Then yeah I'd say you got to deport him. Foreigners don't have the same rights as US citizens here. Why is that so hard to understand?

What if you had a guest stay in your house and he started trashing it and/or speaking bad of your family? Are you going allow him to stay?

He became that when he flew a plane of illegals to Martha's Vineyard. Coolest thing a governor has ever done.

Does the Secretary of State have discretion to pull visas? If so, does the administrative judge have to power to negate that?


Yes Rubio has the authority. He's supposed to do it only if the person speaks out and/or demonstrates against US interests but it Rubio's call on that.

We need cover when we destroy their entire nuclear program. We need to be able to say we tried to negotiate but they wouldn't budge. There undoubtedly will be a lot of dead and I'm guessing some nuclear material exposed.
Crypto is up strong since the close of the markets on Friday. That usually is an indication of a strong stock market open on Monday. It needs to continue into the futures open 5pm CST on Sunday evening but it's looking really good so far.
Damn, they're on to us. We had them all in one place. Oh well, we'll get them another way.
The President can't do much about it but Powell can. The Fed could start buying the 10 year. It's called quantitative easing or QE. The Fed will jump in before it causes a recession. Or should anyway.
We are slowly working our way back up. But, keep your eye on the 10 year Tbills. The move from 4 to 4.5 this week freaked a lot people out . Including me. It should be going down in times like this but it went up. Anything over 5 will trigger another leg down and a big one. Hitting 5 will be spooky as hell. My guess for next week is it comes down and the market goes up. But, I'll be nervous about it all week.
I really like his general market commentary. When we have a really bad market day you can get a feel for the market psyche for the next few days. It's usually pretty good.

I run a hedge fund and this correction is in line with our base case for the year. I am loving it because we are about even for the year and we still expect the markets to finish -5% to +10%. So, yes, I have 100% in and considering margening up another 25% or so.

No. Elon Musk will go down in history as one of the greatest Americans in this era. He is singlehandedly saving our country from financial ruin. You got to give Trump credit for bringing him in but Elon is making it happen.

Do you think congress was capable of pulling this off by themselves? Not even a Republican congress would have done it much less that sorry bunch you voted for.
Well since the SC is all powerful maybe they can facilitate bringing Laken Riley back from the dead.

There's a part of me that thinks we should leave these bastards in place. Take away all federal funding until they end the sanctuary status. Also, issue warnings to all travelers to these areas and issue warnings on local TV about these criminals operating in their area. Tell the locals what laws each of these illegals have broken. No one should be in favor of this so let the locals rise up and vote their leaders out.
I want to know who had him killed. Bill Gates, Clinton, Mossad? Follow the money. Who paid for those guards that weren't there? How did the video get turned off?

We have a huge trade deficit with them. Canceling all trade hurts them way more than it does us. Go ahead, make my day!!
