.@larry_kudlow in @NewYorkSun gets it right. Here are the facts:
The dollar was on one side of 89.2% of global FX trades.
Foreign investors still hold enormous amounts of U.S. assets. The principal stablecoins are dollar-denominated. Treasury buybacks are about adding liquidity and managing the maturity structure, not somehow controlling a $30T+ market.
Median household income in 2025: $87,460 — a record.
Official poverty rate: 10.2% — a historic low.
Atlanta Fed GDP forecast: 5.1% annualized real GDP growth in Q3.
And that’s before looking under the hood at the private-sector momentum behind capex and the AI buildout.
The latest numbers show continued employment growth, while business investment and capital expenditures have been expanding, as the CapEx comeback story has continued to broaden out, with nearly 20% more equipment investment in Q2 2026 than at the end of Biden’s term.
Americans deserve honest coverage.
In the New York Times’s latest feeble attempt at delivering a hit piece on the greatest economy in history, the discredited journal selectively excludes data that contradicts this dull narrative. Granted, it’s nothing new that they fail to provide their readers with the full story.
Complicated financial realities should not be reduced to easy-to-read sentences that serve a preordained narrative.
This article’s problem is not complexity. It is selectivity.
If capital is supposedly running from America, why does the data keep showing strong foreign demand for U.S. assets?
If investors are “balking” at Treasuries, someone forgot to tell the bidders.
Norway is not looking elsewhere; it is switching from Treasuries to agency bonds. Still US assets.
Netherlands is bringing gold back from North America, including Ottawa as well as New York, reflecting a home country preference.
We see this morning that Saudi Arabia has dropped out of mBridge and others are likely to follow.
And if digital finance is supposed to threaten the dollar, why are stablecoins overwhelmingly dollar-denominated?
The record is not ambiguous.

HENRY WINKLER REVEALS HOW HIS FATHER HID JEWELRY INSIDE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES TO SAVE THEIR LIVES FROM THE NAZIS😳
“My parents had a six-week work visa and were able to leave Germany for six weeks to come to New York for business. My father never told my mother that he was really thinking of leaving for good.”
“He took my mother’s jewelry and his mother’s jewelry, or pieces of it, melted down a box of chocolate and poured the liquid chocolate over each piece of jewelry. It looked like turtles, you know, the chocolate with nuts.”
“Put it back in the box, let it dry, put the box under his arm, and when the Nazis said, Are you taking anything of value? he said, Open my bags. I have nothing.”
“He pawned the jewelry, was able— now this is to be admired —was able to start the business, the lumber business, importing and exporting wood, bought back the jewelry, and I gave our son the pocket watch that was smuggled out of Germany in chocolate.”

Israel is throwing its full weight + the weight of the IDF behind a counteroffensive against NAZA. My report on the Jewish state v. the doc:

@BBCWorld frames preserving the 3,000-year-old site of Tel Samaria/Sebastia as "weaponizing archaeology", while omitting that it was the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Israel and later a main city in the Kingdom of Judea.
By this logic, protecting Stonehenge or the Pyramids would be "political."
Preserving history isn't weaponization; erasing it is. Once again, Jewish heritage is held to a standard no one else is. 🤷♂️

Very Important Message!!
Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood.
This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants!
Make sure to share this post!

For too long, Washington’s answer to wild horses has been a helicopter and a holding pen, on the taxpayer’s dime.
We filed an amendment to the Farm Bill including key provisions of our Veterans for Mustangs Act, directing the Secretary of Agriculture to implement humane, reversible, non-surgical fertility controls to manage wild horse and burro populations on Forest Service lands, and prioritizing military veterans to carry out the work.
Our amendment brings common sense and accountability back. It protects our mustangs, stops the waste, and puts veterans to work with real purpose out on the range.
This is a win for taxpayers, a win for animals, and a win for those who’ve served.

Ro Khanna has an unhealthy obsession with demonizing one particular country.
It’s reasonable to ask why, while the US spends Billions on other “imperfect” countries like Qatar, Egypt, Turkey…

Holy f*ck.
Word for word.
Ana Kasaparian (Extreme Left Wing) and Nick Fuentes (Extreme Right Wing) paint themselves as polar opposites on the political spectrum.
However, listen to them here, side by side.
This is horseshoe theory on fully display.

This is a pig who spent years confined in a gestation crate. She was left behind when factory farms flooded in Iowa and then rescued by some volunteers.
The volunteers took her home and dug her a mud pit. She ignored it. They assumed years of confinement had extinguished her natural instincts.
Then they noticed her wandering into the woods on their property. They followed her — and found her rooting in a pile of dirt, digging her own mud pit.
The pork industry claims pigs adapt to confinement. They don't. Inside every gestation crate is an animal who still yearns to root, wallow, and just be a pig.
This is the tragedy of factory farming. We tried to reduce feeling animals to machines. We failed.

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

As the Great Depression threatened the tenuous foothold of women on newspaper staffs, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt instituted a weekly, women-only press conference at the White House to force news organizations to employ at least one woman reporter.
The first was held on this day in 1933. 🧵

I honestly believe that the vast majority of people have absolutely no idea of the scale of the horror that has unfolded in Iran

🚨Iran’s military media just crossed another line.
An account affiliated with the Islamic Republic is issuing veiled threats to anti-regime protesters in the diaspora:
“Watch your surroundings.
We might be standing right behind you.”
The attached photo shows a regime mercenary embedded inside a crowd of Iranian anti-regime protesters in France.
This is intimidation, surveillance, and transnational terror, exported straight from Tehran to the streets of Europe.
بهتر است حواستان به اطرافتان باشد؛
شاید پشتِ سرتان ایستاده باشیم!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The author is boldly threatening Iranians who go to demonstrations against the Islamic Republic to watch their back, or they might get killed for speaking up.

Eva Schloss, a Holocaust survivor who was once Anne Frank's playmate, passed away at the age of 96.
She grew up in Amsterdam in the same apartment building as the Frank family until she and her family were forced into hiding by the Nazis.
They were cruelly sold out and sent to Auschwitz.
Eva's father and brother died, while she and her mother barely survived the starvation.
The two would go on to connect with Otto Frank, Anne Frank's father, and he would marry Eva's mother and become her stepfather.
Eva would honor her friend and step-sister by co-founding the Anne Frank Trust, and she wrote several books about the horrors she and so many others faced.
May her memory be a blessing.
