Headline on CNBC: Homeowners are sitting on record equity - and not using it. They want you to mortgage your house at 7.5% interest rates and invest in the stock market?? Maybe in crypto or do some sports betting? Brilliant!

Trump wants his name on everything. You get your name on stuff one of two ways: You do great, difficult, and historic things, and then die. You endow them with your great wealth.

Ten year treasury yield just passed 5 1/4%. Is it because they are competing with A.I. for $$? Is it that our debt is getting out of control? Is it that we have pissed the whole world off with our trade policies and wars and they are not buying our debt? All of the above!

Yo, Supreme Court, remember when you gave POTUS immunity despite worries he would ignore laws? Well here we are. He is ignoring judges orders because he knows he has your immunity. Laws only matter if they can be enforced!! Buhbye democracy, it was great while we had it.

I guess the Iran war is over. Iran will open the Strait if we leave. We will leave if they agree to let Jared built a fabulous resort and give him a lot of $$. Maybe not. But we got the price of oil down to $93/barrel, and the stock market is up. Good enough.

Every day I read headlines about Trump voters being shocked that his policies are affecting them negatively. Farmers Neighborhood data centers Rural loss of medical facilities And on and on. I really hate that they were okay with other people getting hurt. Not feeling sorry for them.

Trump has claimed at least 38 times that he is open to negotiations with Iran since he started the war. That’s about once every 5 days. Iran says it won’t negotiate until Trump and Bibi are out of office. Who you gonna believe?

I don’t really have a problem with Trump paying $45,000 to Natalie Harp last year because I believe sex workers should get paid. I do have an issue with her receiving a $150,000 salary from the US government.

I’m actually okay with Trump’s $5,000 promise…. If he pays for it out of his own pocket. It’s the “I’m giving your money away to everyone else” promise I have a problem with.

Trump is yelling at Bessent to get bond yields down. Treasury announced it will buy back $6 billion in long term debt tomorrow. That is out of the $22 billion we will be selling. Plus the $72 billion and $175 billion in short term bonds we are selling today and tomorrow. Umm. 🤔

If an immigrant comes to our country and lives and works and pays taxes and has a family, and after 10 or 20 or 30 years is still considered illegal, it is our system that is illegal, not the immigrant. Do not let the argument “Well, they are here illegally” end our protests.

Here is a look at what our government has to sell every few days to keep up with the interest on our debt and our new spending. We have been selling very short term paper, and Bessent is going to jump in and buy out longer term debt - which only helps in the very near term.

www.cnbc.com/2026/08/24/b... The question we should be asking here is, WHY? It is the “world’s greatest economy”, right? Why are we desperately throwing money at the bond market to keep rates low? And is adding a trillion dollars helping? It is a short term solution to a long term problem.

Bessent is sounding a little desperate here. He really wants to get rates down. But adding to the national debt by buying our own debt will just make it worse. You actually need to either raise taxes or grow the economy- and not just the stock market.

Elizabeth Korevaar @ejk415.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

In the world’s best economy ever, Treasury announces that we are buying our long term debt back to keep yields low. Yes, we are borrowing money to buyback debt, which is creating more debt. Make it make sense.

If the U.S. lost 23,000 jobs in July, and revised numbers from May and June downward, how did the unemployment number tick down from 4.2 to 4.1 percent? If fewer people are working, how can more people be working? They wouldn’t lie, would they?
