In almost half of states, Canada is the largest source of imports by value. In 15 states, imports from Canada made up at least 25% of the 2025 total. But I'm sure these tariffs will be great. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

Can’t wait to watch all the people who criticized the JCPOA and excoriated Obama for “pallets of cash” try to sanewash Trump giving Iran even more cash for a worse deal than the JCPOA.

NEW EPISODE ALERT 🎙️ "Retail's Great Concentration" is accelerating. Amazon, Walmart, and Costco Wholesale aren't just winning — they're pulling away. Just six retailers now capture the majority share of industry growth, and the structural forces behind it aren't slowing down. shorturl.at/8VyoG

Trump, Bessent and Lutnick vowed that from the 4th quarter of 2025 onward they would stop blaming Biden, they would then “own” the economy, and every economic metric would be red hot with inflation 2% or less.
