The collapse in Treasury bonds now ranks among the worst market crashes in history. Since March 2020, Treasury bonds with maturities of 10 years or more have plummeted 46%, Bloomberg says. That’s just under losses seen in the stock market when the dot-com bubble burst at the end of the last century. The bond rout is worse than the one seen in 1981 when the 10-year yield neared 16%.

Some more insights from Rep. Ralph Norman about the debt problem that America has. We must stop this asinine spending beyond our means. If we don’t, the economy will collapse at some point. And that point is not just on the horizon. It is a lot closer than that.

Steve Kirsch has been an absolute thorn in the side of those who support the idea that the mRNA jab is safe. Kirsch has challenged loud voices who support such nonsense over the merits of the therapeutic that was mandated for many people around the world. No one has taken up the challenge. Now Kirsch has come up with a question no one can answer.

Sanctuary Cities Plead “No Mas”

A group of mayors from sanctuary cities (specifically NYC, Chicago, LA, Denver and Houston) are requesting that all US taxpayers support them as they try to cope with the impact of mass illegal alien arrivals.

They publicized themselves as being great humanitarians standing up for the downtrodden. They interfered with attempts by federal officers from deporting such illegal aliens. Many of those who were “saved” from deportation went on to commit crimes including murder and rape. Their virtue signaling has created a surge in crime.

State Media

One has often heard about state-run media in countries where freedoms are suppressed. The reason for the existence of such media is to paint as rosy a picture of the government as possible. Pravda in the old Soviet Union is one such source. At least in the Soviet Union most people understood that facts were not in abundance in that publication.

Communist Censorship

We all watched during the Canadian Freedom Convoy how Fidel Castro-loving Justin Trudeau tried to turn Canada into a communist country. Trudeau froze the bank accounts of protesting truckers in Canada. Being “pro-Trump” was a factor in making decisions to freeze accounts.

Recently Trudeau’s government moved to its next phase of controlling the population. The Trudeau government will now regulate podcasts and track content and subscribers. This tyrannical order comes after Trudeau restricted access to news in Canada last August.

Biden is going to Israel today. The agenda here is transparently obvious.

First, there is no strategic benefit to Israel from a Joe Biden visit. In fact, the opposite is true.
Second, notice how there was no advanced notice when Biden visited Kiev, Ukraine. Yet here, with a real backdrop of violence, a Biden visit to Israel is announced in advance.
Third, state visits such as these require extensive planning and security measures; the absence of which here underlines the urgency of motive.

Odds & Ends

John Fetterman has apparently engaged in some self-introspection.

The House went home on Friday without electing a speaker. The media is apoplectic that this is paralyzing the country. Last I checked everything is still running smoothly here. The pundits are worried about the country being forced to shut down some unnecessary functions next month.

My question is, “is that really a downside to this situation?”

California has apparently decided that kids should not be held accountable for their behavior in school. From the Epoch Times: ...

Economic Chaos

Karl Denninger was the founder and CEO of MCSNet. He later sold the company to Winstar Communications. Denninger is a founding contributor to the finance blog market-ticker.org, and has used the internet to bring attention to his concerns with the financial system. Denninger was also one of the early members of the Tea Party movement, sometimes referred to as a founder.

Denninger is gifted at processing mountains of statistical data and being able to present his findings in an understandable manner. He does not pretend. Denninger does not ignore data he does not like.

Denninger did an outstanding job with COVID data. While I do not always subscribe to his ideas for fixing things, his analyses are thought provoking.

Karl Denninger believes we are headed to very bad economic times and he pulls no punches in telling everyone why.
