Bill’s commentary:
“But, but, they tell us we are not even in a recession? Yet?”
A growing number of U.S. firms are collapsing under the weight of higher interest rates as corporate bankruptcies reached their highest first-half levels since 2010, new data show.
In the first six months of 2023, there were 340 corporate bankruptcies, topping every other comparable span in 13 years, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s up 93 percent from the same time a year ago and higher than in 2020, when there was a spike during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bill’s commentary:
“This is the new “Be all you can be”?”
Diversity is our strength. Except, apparently, the more diversity the military seeks, the less strength it requires.
That seems to be the lesson of the Army’s physical fitness standards, which do not apply to people who are getting “gender-affirming” care.
Bill’s commentary:
” Mr. Smith is correct, the math leads to a brick wall…”
Now that debt is rising faster than “growth,” and “growth” is dependent on speculative credit-asset bubbles, the collapse of the Keynesian dream looms large.
Bill’s commentary:
“Normal is Over”
Analyst and financial writer John Rubino has been warning for years that a systemic crash was always in the cards because of the enormous unpayable debt buildup. The debt for America has never been more extreme. Now, there is a new wrinkle in the equation for an elite class wanting to hang onto power, and that is war – a nuclear war. Rubino says, “These neocon chickenhawk psychopaths who are running Biden’s foreign policy are going to try to extend U.S. domination around the world. 5% of the world’s population is going to rule the other 95% of the population in perpetuity. They see this as a ‘New American Century’ to be imposed by force, and they are willing to risk nuclear war to do that. It’s baffling.”
Bill’s commentary:
“Liberals will never debate you …”
The popular conservative social media account Libs of TikTok has already experienced censorship on tech giant Meta’s new text-based app Threads, according to a screenshot shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Bill’s commentary:
“Surprise!”
In the absence of official scrutiny of Washington’s spending spree on Ukraine, The Grayzone conducted an independent audit of US funding for the country. We discovered a series of wasteful, highly unusual expenditures the Biden administration has yet to explain.
Bill’s commentary:
“A good read by Jonathon Turley on censorship.”
As a long-standing free speech advocate, the last few years have been alarming and, frankly, depressing. The censorship efforts of the government are, unfortunately, not new. However, what is new is the support of the media and the Democratic Party in such censorship. That was on display on various channels after the recent opinion finding that the Biden Administration had violated the First Amendment in “the most massive attack against free speech in United States history.” However, the New York Times immediately warned that the outbreak of free speech could “curtail efforts to combat disinformation.” Yet, no one expressed more simply and chillingly than CNN Chief White House Correspondent Phil Mattingly who stated that it “makes sense” for tech companies to go along with government censorship demands.
Bill’s commentary:
“So why exactly would anyone be so vehement about no “hand counting” ballots? There can only be one answer …”
Colorado legislation supposedly aimed at increasing election security effectively outlawed hand-counting ballots in most of the state, and election officials are the ones who requested the ban.
The Colorado Election Security Act (SB22-153) was drafted in response to Mesa County clerk Tina Peters allowing election skeptics to replicate hard drives to check for evidence of fraud. SB22-153 contains a number of provisions, with the state government mostly focusing on those outlawing replication, and banning people convicted of insurrection or sedition from becoming election officials.
