Juneteenth! Please do NOT say it’s when the enslaved in Texas “learned they were free.” They transmitted information efficiently. They knew. If anything, it’s when it became clear how persistent slavery would be. A Juneteenth story about Custer, Texas, and the murder of a 9-year-old girl. 1/10

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.

Line chart titled "Consumer Sentiment just fell to a (new) all-time low" showing the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index from 1952 to May 2026. The index plummeted to 44.8 in May 2026, the lowest reading in the survey's 74-year history, falling sharply from 74.0 in December 2024. This marks three consecutive months of decline and drops below all previous crisis lows, including the June 2022 inflation surge low of 50.0 and the April 2020 pandemic low of 71.8, signaling an unprecedented collapse in consumer confidence.

Unfortunately, Trump has discredited American diplomacy. A third party will have to negotiate with Iran for opening the Strait. Having blown up so much, we will go into an inevitable ceasefire in a state of strategic defeat. It’s that or World War 2 level mobilization. Iraq times 1,000. Doubt it.

Iran has a bigger population than Nazi Germany had—and it was occupied by Britain, France, and the USSR, too. So, even though it is shot up and nowhere near a peer power, invading it isn’t possible. It would take more manpower than we have. Retreat is inevitable.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

In Trump’s first term, he inflamed public outrage over George Floyd’s murder, sowed chaos, and personally aggravated the first pandemic in a century. But he is by far the worst president in our history based solely on the first year of his second term. It will get worse.
