Shitshow Weekly Prep Podcast is out:
Topics Covered
Domestic Politics
Evidence came out on Friday that the January 6th committee hid exculpatory documents and testimony that Trump authorized and ordered 10k National Guard troops to protect DC on January 6th.
Saturday it came out that Liz Cheney also allegedly engineered a WaPo Op-Ed from a handful of former SecDefs that was used to tie Trump’s hands against using the insurrection act or other mechanisms to secure DC against the refusals from Nancy Pelosi and DC Mayor Murial Bowser to do so.
Biden’s latest gaffe (well, politically calling something a “gaffe”) came because he dared to call a criminal alien who murdered a female college student by bashing her head in an “illegal.”
The Missouri v Biden case is set to be in front of SCOTUS this week.
War/Military
US Intel analyst caught selling secrets to China for a whopping $42k.
US National Guard has announced that it is suspending reenlistment bonuses for troops, citing a lack of funds.
India deploys 10k troops to their border with China after talks collapse between the 2 nations.
Markets/economics
More bad housing and real estate news:
4.1mm people behind on rent/mortgage where eviction is likely to occur
FL & TN are among the highest states with 37-62% of renters/owners behind on payments
+50% of households in Miami are delinquent enough to face foreclosure/eviction
DFW is at 43%
These will all have downstream effects. If renters aren’t paying, landlords aren’t getting their income towards their mortgages, banks aren’t getting their loans paid, etc etc
Business
TSMC, Intel, and Samsung say that won’t build CHIPS Act facilities in the US due to DEI reqs.
DOJ announces investigation into Boeing, as more planes have massive issues over the weekend.
Geopolitics
The Globalist Blob in Ireland lost an attempt to remove the word “mother” from its Constitution by 67.7%, the widest margin of defeat in Irish amendment history.
The Biden Admin has been caught planning on trying to topple the Netanyahu government in Israel.
Haiti is quickly devolving into anarchy, with roving cannibalistic gangs committing mass murder in the streets.
The Biden Administration, of course, has asked the Haitian president to step down. Spoiler alert: that won’t make things better.
Let’s also take a moment to remember that Trump called Haiti a “shithole” a few years ago and the entire celebrity/Hollywood/TDS movement locked arms to call him an idiot, even making t-shirts claiming that Haiti was a paradise. Add another quarter to the “Trump was right” jar. These people never learn.
Social dynamics/societal/culture war/Legal
The trans lobby attacked Harry Potter author JK Rowling so hard & so often that she’s now become a Donald Trump-level troll on Twitter, and I’m loving it.
Conspiracy-y
I’m nearly finished with the post regarding last week’s conspiracy theory from Tom Luongo about The Fed battling The EU and trying to bankrupt them. Another proof point emerged for that theory this weekend when France’s finance minister had a video that went semi-viral of him complaining that they need to steal the savings of all EU citizens to pay for climate change & Ukraine.
This post, while it may seem purely economic, touches on every single point that I started ShitShow Macro to cover. I hope to have it out very soon.
