Should Keir Starmer get tossed to the curb, and it seems likely he will be, Britain will get to enjoy its seventh Prime Minister since BREXIT.

Among Americans who believe Trump was sent by God, Trump has a 100% approval rating.

Nobody should go to work and come home in a body bag...

Trump wants to be on a $250.00 bill. Fsck that. No politician should be on our money. My proposal with real Americans: $1.00 Mark Twain $2.00 Charlie Chaplin $5.00 Jesse Owens $10.00 Annie Oakley $20.00 Jean-Michel Basquiat $50.00 PT Barnum $100.00 Ben Franklin, the scientist, not the politician

Credit markets provide much better insight than equity markets. Stock guys are optimistic. Their upside is the moon. Bondholders are hoping to get their money back. They start to ask, "Is this thing still financable?" way before equity investors ask, "Is growth starting to slow a little? ... Nah!"

The New York Times reports that pre-sale Knicks tickets are $2000.00 to $6000.00. I thought that was interesting. NFL play off tickets are determined by the league, not the team. The prices are in line with the regular season. Caveat: I'm a Jets fan so I haven't bought them in over a decade.

I've never been to Texas. Why is the Democratic brand so toxic there. Paxton is like Nixon, Hitler and Trump rolled into one and the Senate race is effectively even.

The only time I ever agreed with Scalia was in PGA Tour, Inc. v. Martin. The Supreme Court should not determine the rules of sports ball.

In baseball season, I'm part of a group chat of Pirates fans. I don't interact with most of these guys from October to April. I catch up in baseball season increments.

If Trump doesn't thumbs-down the losers so they can be put to death, are we really having bloodsports for the emperor's amusement?

The most trusting humans on earth are those who buy black market peptides from China and believe their injecting peptides.

Jaxson Dart, the Giants quarterback, maintains the right of free speech. If he wants to pal around with Trump, he can. Do you know who else has free speech? His offensive line. And not-blocking is a form of expression.

I asked ChatGPT what it would do to fix America. It's answers were pretty close to mine. Here are the top responses.

Ninety-six percent of Russian soldiers [spit] are now killed by drones and Ukraine is killing them in record numbers.

They call them "rainbow cookies," but they're "cake."

These days, insider trading is perfectly fine ... until any of us engage in it.

When the Democrats regained power in 2020, they had numerous examples of Presidential corruption committed by the first Trump administration. They couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. They didn't act then; they won't act now.

Republicans have a word for guys like this. Starts with a c and ends in ucks.

Documents entered into evidence is a really high bar with substantial criminal liability. They'd be fools to try.

Flies gotta fly, Bees gotta be, And Mets gotta Met #JamesWood

Trump appears to have offed Thomas Massie. I've never seen an American President with such control over his own party. You probably have to go back to Andrew Jackson to find a political movement so dependent on personal loyalty.

Trumpists love this man and he doesn't know a fscking thing about them. They drive LARGE vehicles and they feel entitled to cheap gas.

China's last major war of lengthy duration was the Korean Conflict. Since then, the United States has spent vastly more on military conflict than China - likely seven to eight trillion more. NOTE: It's hard to find an accurate accounting of the costs of US military conflicts. It's likely much more

The Supreme Court is bullshit. It's politics by other means, and we lost the fight in 2016 after too many of us sat out or voted for Jill Stein because Hillary was a leeeeetle too cozy with Wall Street. And unless two old farts die in the 2028-2032 window, it will be Republican for a generation.

FT: Two months after Donald Trump announced that the US would provide insurance to ships seeking to transit the Strait of Hormuz, the programme has not provided a single dollar of cover.

Traditionally, irreversible tightening occurs when oil is priced in the $130-$150 range. At that point, demand destruction must occur. But this crisis didn't begin from a neutral position. Yields were already rising, and credit was already softening. $115-$130 could trigger tightening dynamics.

FT estimates an oil tipping point at 2-4 weeks. Mine was 8-12. They were working off gasoline reserves while I was using oil reserves. Either way, this is a story that will be unveiled in credit markets. Freak out points: FT: gas under 200mb Me: oil under 50% of reserve capacity

According to G. Elliott Morris, as a result of redistricting and the Supreme Court's ruling on the Voting Rights act, Republicans have created for themselves a four point bias in the House. Meanwhile people are moving from Blue States to Red ones. The future does not look promising.

"Inappropriate?" Ya think? Pressler tried to pressure a man in his 20s to pray with him naked and then forcibly undressed and groped the man. The church wrote a private letter to Pressler calling his conduct “morally and spiritually inappropriate.”

Who are you going to believe This Second Jim Jordan or Three Seconds Ago Jim Jordan?

I've been not watching soccer my entire life. I was born to participate in the World Cup boycott.

If Trump needs to tell himself lies in order to feel better about himself, let him. The alternative is an angry fool who wields a lot of power. "Xi thinks I'm awesome." That's nice, Grandpa.

"Buy low, sell high." You've probably heard a lot of people say that. The truth is almost nobody does that. By writ of supply and demand, the most popular stocks are the most expensive. Contrarianism is an art that few have mastered.

Endy Rodriguez joined the Pirates today. At the end of three innings, he's on pace for about 700 wins above replacement. Avg: 1.000 OPS: 2.500

And you guys said Bob Nutting was cheap...

Alberta Separation? Here in the US, I'm rooting for a Southern Separation. They have my blessing.

"The post-cold war assumption that dependencies were broadly shared and the open economy was a global public good has quietly come apart. We are living through an age of asymmetry, a period in which power flows less from size or wealth than from the ability to convert imbalance into leverage."

The global oil inventory buffer is around 1,000 mb to 1,500 mb (my best guess). We're currently drawing about 4.8 mb from inventory due to the Hormuz shutdown. That's 7 to 10 months of reserves. But here's the catch: The system breaks down way before zero, at about 30-50%, or 2 to 4 months.

I was under-babied before it was cool.

This is the setup where things get historically dangerous. Everything is green except one structural indicator. Markets are doing their thing, and oil is like, "We need to talk."

I've never been to the Great Plains. Why is the Democratic brand so toxic there?

Nobody hates Americans like Americans...

Things I don't like: 1.) Mar a Lago face I don't know why anyone would willingly do that to themselves.

Democrats don't get far on inequality because Americans hold a nuanced view. For most, it's not "We hate billionaires!" It's "We hate a rigged system." In response, most Democrats shriek, "Tax the billionaires!" and that sounds like they want to punish success. It plays at a rally, but not the polls

I hate Donald Trump and the Republicans as much as anyone, but I will NOT support a guy who wore a Totenkopf tattoo for twenty years. We can't oppose fascism and back a Nazi. Do the right thing, Maine.

"The Jets’ problem isn’t absence of hope. It’s recurring credible hope followed by catastrophe." --ChatGPT

I have no financial interest in this company. I just want you to enjoy some tasty tea. This is it

70-80% of the US lives within 400 miles of the Atlantic Ocean but for some reason, I have to wait until 9:00 pm for my my team to start playing.

White nationalists love Putin, a man who's responsible for at least 500,000 dead white people.

Elon Musk: There will come a point where no job is needed … AI will be able to do everything. Also, Elon Musk: Why won't white people have more babies?
