"Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war".

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program

No new wars started under Trump…that still holds true unless India wrecks the streak… Sometimes promises take a little time. While we wait, he has delivered on 100 other promises. Love him or hate him..promises made, promises kept.
 
He will…and he is already winning the tariff war along with the other 100 promises made..promises kept. He will win this war on foolish “Sanctuary Cities and States” in the end….So much Winning!🏆

You do realize the S&P is only down around 3% year to date, right? If you think a 3% move up or down is catastrophic then you really lack any understanding of the markets and you really should not play. By the way that is on the back of a 25% return for 2024….Cry me a river…😂👎🏽🤦🏽‍♂️
 
Hmm.... Which was a better way to begin 2025 investing? 100% in S&P now down 3% YTD, or 100% in Ferrari (Symbol RACE) which is up 13.8% YTD... quite a ponder.

So why is Trump blaming Biden for the stock market? You're so silly.
 
Must I repeat myself?….

I do but maybe for different reasons than you think. This is an excerpt from my January 1 2025 letter to my clients….its why we were short the markets in the first quarter….Weak markets are the reckoning for Brandon’s reckless spending and government hiring…

“Just like 1981, we have a new Administration coming into power with a decidedly business oriented direction for economic growth. But just as trees do not grow the sky, this cycle cannot move along without recognition of the recessionary forces that we have been in for the last 2 years. (yes, even as markets moved higher) Again, I will preface that these comments are NOT to be interpreted as political, just a reading of the information the Public has been fed is important for CONTEXT. One of the underlying gripes that current Presidential race has backlighted is the disconnect between what the economic (government) statistics say and what the public perceives and feels about the economy. Democrats kept pointing to positive economic indicators (GDP Unemployment, Job creation and wages) as proof that the economy is growing but could never understand why the electorate did not agree. The headline numbers always looked so good but months latter, (when no one was paying attention anymore to last months numbers) they were quietly revised down with little fanfare or attention. Markets reacted to the initial numbers and chose to ignore most of the negative revisions that hinted at a truly weak economy. Any gains in these statistics were really driven by MASSIVE government spending and largesse and not private sector investment and hiring. It’s not hard to see why the statistics and people on the ground tell a very different story.
I think a reckoning of where the economy has really been is in the makings. That means near term volatility while the system digests the reality of our past recession.”

DOJ Plans Crackdown On California Sanctuary Policies

The Department of Justice on Monday announced a plan to crack down on California’s “sanctuary law” that prohibits law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials.

“Even the worst criminal aliens in state custody are frequently released into the community because California’s sanctuary state policies block cooperation with federal law enforcement,” said Bill Essayli, U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, in a statement.

“These laws effectively render federal immigration detainers meaningless. The days of giving criminal illegal aliens a free pass are over. While California may be presently disregarding detainers, it cannot ignore federal arrest warrants.”

The task force is made up of assets from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Border Patrol.

Essayli told Fox News that DOJ is going to “flood the system with warrants for criminal illegal immigration that are in county jails, they can ignore a detainer, but they cannot ignore a criminal arrest warrant.

The crazy thing is that by waving Mexican flags and engaging in violent destruction, the protestors have validated Trump's arguments for why we need immigration enforcement.

It would have been so much more effective to have peaceful, solemn protestors with signs saying "I pick your fruit", "I clean your home", "I mow your lawn". They could have had young children and Catholic priests, and everybody singing patriotic songs. If ICE moved in for some apprehensions, the solemn protestors could have flooded the newscasts with tears and it would have turned the tide of public opinion.

Whoever organized this completely blew it.

Unfortunately, that sort of protest will always be taken over by "radicals" who want to destroy, loot, etc because there are no consequences, especially for those that have nothing to lose. r/irvine and r/orangecounty have plenty of posts complaining about e-bikes, driving violations, locked up parts of CVS and Ralphs, homeless, gypsies, panhandling, sleeping rough, intersection takeovers, etc but that behavior is tolerated even if it is not legal/allowed by city rules. If you call the police dispatch line to report anything, many times the operator makes you feel like you are calling about an insignificant issue. There is a broad lack of will to enforce rules in Irvine and many parts of California. /rant
 
yah…it’s “mostly” peaceful…except for this guy and the looted store owners… 🤦🏽‍♂️👎🏽😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸

It’s a good point🤷🏽‍♂️😂😂😂

What do you call it when foreigners enter our country illegally, refuse to leave, and attack our police, soldiers and public infrastructure while flying their foreign flag?​

This sort of thing has happened in history from time to time in many places, if I’m not mistaken. There must be a word for it. It’s on the tip of my tongue . . . .

If you’re the media, you call it a “mostly peaceful protest.” Normal people might call it an “insurrection.” But “insurrection” is not quite right, either. “Insurrection” implies a violent revolt a…
