For all of my readers and friends, since the election last year, I promised to call balls and strikes.
I am a Thomas Massie, Ron Paul, Ron DeSantis style conservative Libertarian. The Libertarian Party has drifted into lunacy land. The GOP has descended into a poor man’s Bollywood movie. And the Democrat Party into the worst kind of authoritarian Communist dictatorship fantasy.
FOR THE RECORD: I did not vote for Donald Trump, I wrote in Ron DeSantis as promised.
“But you wasted your vote” is all I heard but who is President again? Some of us realized that the Biden/Harris circus had no prayer after the one and only Presidential debate.
With that admission out of the way, I promised to give the new administration a wide berth, to cheer them on, to promote and promise to give hem kudos when they did well and call them out when I thought policies or actions were beyond the pale; especially relating to the economy.
Despite popular belief, today’s demonstration of 100% assclownery is not going to be good for faith in the US economy.
Just what am I referring to?
In fact it was so bad, that even the White House team issued talking points just like Biden’s people did to drive the message home:
And yes, I screen printed for posterity. Even Unusual Whales, a usually pretty good source for econ postings got into the assclownery:
And of course, panic profiteers like Glenn Beck went full on Alex Jones Frog conspiracy theory after his staff was made fun of with their pumping of this assclownery:
Reacting to the so-called 'Epstein Files' release. This feels like internal CIVIL WAR. President Trump needs to fly to SNDY NOW and get to the bottom of this! pic.twitter.com/0Z9ZCQH0Id

Civil war eh?
Jesus, these people are delusional.
Meanwhile, before I finish my rant, here is the frogs song to remind you of where Glenn’s radio/TV family tree is going:
If you haven’t followed my twisted sense of humor, sorry, not sorry.
But let’s move into reality.
The markets experienced a massive hit today. The economy is extremely weak. Confidence is at a premium and this administration is pissing it away like Hunter Biden blowing coke off of Ukrainian 16 year old hooker’s backs (allegedly).
The US Treasury Secretary was selected to re-instill confidence that disciplined fiduciary souls were in charge again then the GOP passes a joke in the House last night plus this fiasco today makes everyone wonder if we are just becoming a larger Hollywood production of France made for a NetFlix series.
Markets depend on confidence and the next 90 days will determine the faith or lack thereof in the new administration accordingly.
Got Gold?
