War with Iran

[Mutaman]

Not after ever-vigilant DOGE gets ahold of it!

From the NYT DealBook e-newsletter:

Could bond traders force the White House to change tack on Iran? Turbulence in the sovereign debt market played a role last April when Trump temporarily paused many of his tariffs. The 10-Year Treasury's yield hit a high of 4.48 percent two days later and then eased.



But reaching a peace deal with Iran — one that reopens the Strait of Hormuz — is a complicated diplomatic undertaking.

The prospects don't look great. Treasury yields lately have correlated with oil prices. Both have soared since the start of the war; analysts warn that bond yields could climb further if the war drags on.

That could put Kevin Warsh in a bind. The Senate yesterday confirmed his nomination as Fed chair. Trump has said he expects a Warsh-led Fed to lower interest rates soon.

But policymakers at the central bank, concerned about rising inflation, appear inclined to stand pat. That could revive Trump's irritation with the Fed.

Love all the pearl clutching here while ignoring completely the almost daily announcements of billions of dollars of fraud being uncovered. Just 1.3Billion alone held back from hospice care facilities in Los Angeles. 800 hospices denied funds and almost zero complaints.

Thanks for getting us discussing the important things going on in this country.  Not the pointless war driving up cost of living for everyone, but rather where our taxpayer money is ending up.  In the President's pocket, as it is meant to be, of course.

The idea that those people weren't being caught prior to 2024 is laughable.

Additionally, Trump has pardoned a bunch of people convicted of fraud.  Where is your outrage for that?

That's different.  Those are poor people

It's not even that, you just have to kiss the ring, and you can commit fraud and be rich too!

Look no further than our reflecting pool painter.

All the while, inflation is up, consumer goods are up, fertilizer is through the roof, and shipping costs haven't even caused real upward pressure yet.

Greatest economy the world has ever seen.

All because Israel tricked our president into a war with Iran.

At least China is winning.  Look at all the Chinese restaurants!  It's crazy!

You worship the biggest fraudster in American history.

Throw in his corrupt sons, and the son-in-law who has been handed billions by Middle East kingdoms, and that should be enough fraud to keep any DOJ busy.

Except this DOJ, of course. They're only going after your lord and master's "enemies."

Thanks Pam!

Gotta fund the war

[Uncle Rico]

Small change, jack.

It's isn't for the average family.  Prices are skyrocketing on everything.

War in the Middle East that we were promised wouldn't happen, happened.

Promises made, promises kept.

Fiscal conservatism out the window and the average American suffers.

Comey, Brennan, Letitia James, Mark Kelly, Jerome Powell, Lisa Cook, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and many others are going to be very wealthy.

Safe to ignore the pedophiles again! Trump and company must be so relieved

I don't see how anyone can read the outcomes from the China meetings and not come to the conclusion that we have capitulated our power to the Chinese.

I'd put a Chinese blockade of Taiwan as very likely if we go through with arms sales to Taiwan. They might hold off on it, but the odds of a Chinese/Taiwan conflict have definitely risen.
