The following is the first part of a broad overview of the major trends I believe are going to be the dominant stories for the rest of the year with my own projections for where these stories are going. This first part covers what I believe is going to happen (in broad terms) my prediction […]

Democratic members have continued their unrelenting attacks on the Supreme Court and its conservative majority. This week, Senate and House members have introduced a bill to impose term limits, regularized confirmation schedules, and other changes. Their introduction leaves no question that this is just the latest effort to change the balance of the Court in […]

A Storm of Indicators Show the US Consumer Is Tapped Out

Posted July 31, 2022 By David Haggith

Zero Hedge lays out the widespread dishonesty (or lame stupidity) in mainstream financial media when glibly reporting things like sales increases as if they are actually positive during times when inflation is the sole reason for the rise in sales (because sales are measured in dollars and prices are soaring).

Clear economic thinking and lucid communication via the written word tumbled out of fashion nearly 100 years ago.  The fall from grace was triggered by the 1936 publication of John Maynard Keynes’ The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. Not only is the book rigorously indecipherable.  It also has the ill-effect of making those who […]

Torturer drilling on teeth in Marathon Man

Dr. Grauci has just declared that, if we had the Covid pandemic to do all over again, he would be FAR more severe in cutting off your basic rights: “FAUCI: Restrictions Would Be ‘Much, Much More Stringent’ If We Could Do Again…” As if that isn’t disturbing enough, DR.

As reported in my new Daily Doom news section, which I try to update twice daily, real GDP fell even further for a second quarter in a row. While we all know what that means, you can count on the Federal Reserve, the federal government and even economists regularly quoted in the mainstream financial media […]

Everything Is Changing Quickly Now and So Am I

Posted July 25, 2022 By David Haggith

As my expression of appreciation to my patrons, I try to give you the most critical economic insights ahead of everyone else. For example, back in February of 2021 I started laying out my argument for Patrons as to why and how inflation was going to become a serious conflagration that would rise to such heat […]

Guest post by Jeff Childers on Coffee and Covid: In his show Thursday night, Tucker [Carlson] started by riffing on Biden’s oil cancer and his convenient covid diagnosis, and then used all that to segue into a monologue questioning the jabs: Is it possible that the vaccine actually can hurt you, especially if you keep […]

Celebrate because the Epocalypse is here!

The ability of humans to believe whatever lie they want to believe never comes in lower than I expect, but it sometimes manages to come in even higher. Nowhere has that been more transparently true than in economics where everyday I read people in the financial media who must surely have IQs somewhere above a […]

Putin just demonstrated his war in Ukraine has nothing to do with defensive concerns that NATO will attack Russia, upon which he has staked most of his case for his war in Ukraine, though his stated justifications have changed over time along with his goals. His statement this week reveals his war has far more […]
