The Fed only cuts short term rates which may not have any impact on longer term rates. The 10 year treasury went up after the latest rate cut.
The Fed cannot manipulate the rates on most longer term securities so they cannot really manage governmental interest payments in any event.
These are very deranged people. You have to jump through hoops to wear a Make America Kind Again shirt and beat an effigy of the President, let alone any other fellow American. These folks participating need a friendly visit from the Secret Service.
You give it up already you disingenuous boob. Fighting isn’t always physical fighting (not that you’d know about that). The politicians on the left OPENLY call for “street violence“. Lo-and-behold, they get what they call for. F the left
But meany Trump is responsible for taking dumb boy Jimmy off the air! Jeff defended that argument despite all evidence to the contrary.
Olbermann is and always has been a total flake. Could never keep a job. Should be in a straight jacket.
Huh, I thought Jeff and Stone told us it was Trump.
This is a strange story that just dropped. I've read several sources to try to understand it and CNN gets the award for the better written article.
Basically, the Feds just busted 5 or more locations around New York city with large arrays of sim servers. So far no arrests have been announced.
What can sim servers do, they can make fake phone calls on cell networks that are untraceable but apparently this operation is so large it could take down the regional cell network itself, at least for a while. Some of the other articles were concerned about its proximity to the UN and wall street. Foreign govts, cartels, etc, they speculate might be involved but no confirmation.
At a minimum, it could be part of the annoying increase in spam calls on our cell phones, and if so, I'm glad it is shut down.

Jeff - you never addressed where you stand on the extra 1T in debt Schumer and the Dems want to add or they will shut down the government. I guess it is because you really don't care about the debt since you vote for that team and malign DOGE for insufficient cuts.

This is an interesting topic. Greta Van Sustren made the comment recently that she got fired because she was seeking truth and not willing to push the talking points/propaganda the network wanted. I need to dig that tweet up.
So then it would make sense you have at least three kinds of anchors/reporters/producers working for the news networks. The first kind are the ideological nutjobs who are so indoctrinated, their side is righteous and they must do anything to discredit the other side, which includes lying. Then you have the second group of anchors/reporters/producers who know they are telling big whoppers, but like the money they are making/trajectory of their career, so they will not speak up in any way. The third kind are the ones who are apathetic and understand what is said may be wrong, but they are way too influenced by their peers and want to be part of the club.
I suspect the first kind is the largest of the kinds. Indoctrinated so deeply by themselves or others, anything they say or do is justified for righteousness and they don’t see how wrong they are. Zombies, if you will.
If I don't personally recognize the incoming call by person OR phone/cell number, I NEVER answer the calls !
Well, having been in cellular for 30 years, these strategically placed clusters of mobile phones have the ability to replicate a natural disaster by effectively saturating the network. I'm unsure of what it would do to FirstNet - the cellular network for First Responders (AT&T runs it), but it wouldn't be a positive. As for SPAM calls, those would originate overseas if possible. Very interesting story. But, if you want to create chaos, this is one way to jam a cellular network - at least in select areas.
I love it when the Democrats tell you their real fears. In this case, they fear losing their ability to cheat in elections.
A new study by environmental scientists say that melting ice estimates to rising sea levels are misunderstood and maybe off by 58 % !
I know when I am UP and when I am DOWN !
Yesterday (Mon) bought GLD calls.
Today (Tues) sold all GLD calls, up over 100 %
There was a wide variety of behavior on 1/6. There is plenty of video evidence of rioters battling with police. If you watch of any of the 1/6 documentaries you will see the complete picture of both violent rioters and peaceful curiosity seekers.
I watched all of Trump's speech at the Kirk memorial service. I really thought he went off topic and veered slightly into a state of the union. CK was a highly political figure, but I still believe the president should have kept it short and about Charlie.
Conversely, I just watched his speech to the UN and I thought it might have been his best speech ever, even while his teleprompter was down. I think he did a nice job of walking through the flaws of the UN and Europe, while saying he is cheering for them to find their way.

Huh, maybe you should point it out to Stone, who seems to leave out there is also video of friendly interactions in his posts.
Is this Kamala Harris moment the time that Democrats finally realize they are the party that discriminates based on race, gender, and sexual orientation?
And the COMPLETE videos of the Murder or an unarmed civilian by Capital Police trying to assist those same police.
