Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States :-))

//

Tucker Carlson just met with Lightweight “Former” Congressman, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie “Traitor” Greene, LOSERS ALL! Tucker’s “Views” have fallen through the floor, and will only get worse. Nobody cares about him any longer in that he has become totally irrelevant, and happens to be, surprisingly, a very Low I.Q. individual. He could barely get out of College, and maybe he didn’t, but only really dumb people can’t make it through that wonderful four year time in life! Tucker wants to run for political office, but he should be required to take a cognitive test. He’s got no chance, but could probably take a couple of points away from whatever the Republican ticket happens to be! Tucker is a loser, and always has been! Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green turns to Brown under stress!), a highly neurotic young woman, went from Ultra Conservative to a Liberal “Fool,” all in a matter of weeks, because I refused to return her phone calls — Not because I didn’t like her, just because I had no time. She was way down in the Polls in Georgia (because I took away my Endorsement), and would have had no chance at winning, so she, just like everyone else, “QUIT!” Thomas Massie has turned out to be a failed politician, and a real JERK. He thought it was really wonderful to vote, “NO,” on everything, no matter how good, strong, or proper the Legislation would be. What a team this would be, THREE LOSERS, and a pocketful of change! The only chance they have is to join the Radical Left Dumocrats, and try breaking into the Primary System. To all of them I say, PRAISE BE TO ALLAH! President DONALD J. TRUMP

pana, before the Supremo, sanchez opened the doors to regularize all those illegal immigrants..

it's been going on for a while.

word spreads.. especially now with internet.

everybody in africa knows that spain has been regularizing illegals for X time.

then just a month ago they hear about what the Supremo decided.

what do they do? they run (and swim) to reach spain ASAP.. ASAP.. ASAP.

i would to the same, if i were those guys.

Ceuta is a new ingredient, seems to me is not the same, but you know better ;-)

pana, you always ask the same! :-)

Vic, will Sanchez (politically) survive this one?

Bessent’s tactics. “Anytime you try to control 30-year yields, it’s always going to be the market that wins, unless you’re the Fed that has the unlimited balance sheet. You can’t do that as the Treasury secretary.”

the present immigration crisis in ceuta started right after this:

//

El Tribunal Supremo determinó el 8 de julio de 2026 que no se pueden aplicar las "devoluciones en caliente" (rechazo en frontera) a los migrantes interceptados en el mar que intentan entrar a nado en Ceuta y Melilla.

08-21-26  victor

pana, "the Ceuta project"

//

what's happening in ceuta is not a conspiracy theory, but the result of a recent ruling by the Supremo on whether such immigrants can be returned immediately, without due process..
devoluciones en caliente.

and the Supremo said they could not be returned without due process, en caliente..

1-2 days later, traffickers sent the 1st wave of such immigrants to ceuta.

the Supremo is now being asked to reverse its decision..

similar to dt asking SCOTUS to reverse its decision on citizenship.

raping the public - which of course explains the attraction to the Trump family.

Forced mechanical buying via short liquidations did 90% of the work. Bitcoin remains BS, but great for games, raping the public and manipulations.

Vic on Bitcoin - look past the narratives which are usually a miasma of misunderstandings and the handy shibboleths that dull jornos can google.



The fundamental engine of this 18%+ rally to $77,600+ was a massive, mechanical short squeeze in the derivatives market, not discretionary spot buying.

Why bitcoin prices are suddenly rallying big-time

The bitcoin bulls are back.

Over the past 48 hours, the price of bitcoin is up about 18% to more than $77,600 as of the time of this writing. Bitcoin prices hadn't traded above the $70,000 level since late May prior to this latest push, per Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace data.

"The strong trigger in bitcoin was driven by Treasury's move to buyback bonds at the longer end of the yield curve," Bernstein strategist Gautam Chhugani explained in a note today. "We are not macro experts, but we do know bitcoin historically has had a positive reaction to liquidity expansion. And this year's apathy towards bitcoin and crypto markets was a combination of tighter markets post Iran conflict, with rising risks of inflation and a very strong AI/semis trade pulling all the liquidity away."

The US Treasury surprised financial markets this week by announcing it will double the maximum size of its long-term bond buyback operations from $2 billion to $4 billion per session. This intervention directly targets the 10-year, 20-year, and 30-year Treasury sectors after benchmark yields spiked to 20-year highs due to nagging inflation and war-driven energy price pressures.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday he has a "big toolkit" to continue addressing the rise in bond yields.

By stepping into the secondary market to purchase debt, the Treasury aims to inject liquidity, stabilize falling bond prices, and pull down soaring borrowing costs for consumers and businesses.

Bessent's promise to unleash his big toolkit appears to have only emboldened the bitcoin bulls overnight into expecting more liquidity, which they have tended to reward with higher digital asset prices.

Further helping sentiment this week around bitcoin is a White House meeting with President Trump and top digital asset players at Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD). (Disclosure: Yahoo Finance has a partnership with Coinbase.)

Trump called on Congress to pass a "fair version" of the Clarity Act and declared that America will remain the "undisputed leader" in bitcoin and crypto.

Chhugani said, "The industry now expects either Clarity Act to pass in the September session or a new set of rules and exemptions by the SEC/CFTC. In fact, without Clarity Act, the industry will see accelerated rule making to support a series of new products - 24*7 perp futures on commodities/equities; compute derivatives including compute perp futures; on-chain tokenized equities trading 24*7 in the U.S.; and continued federal support for prediction markets."

Shares of fertilizer companies are trading higher as fading expectations for further U.S.-Iran negotiations to allow free maritime transport through the Strait of Hormuz mean that shortages of potash and nitrogen fertilizer may persist for longer.

Condenan a cadena perpetua al fundador de Evergrande, símbolo de la crisis inmobiliaria de China

Hong Kong
CNN

El fundador del gigante inmobiliario Evergrande, que alguna vez fue uno de los hombres más ricos de China, fue condenado a cadena perpetua este jueves, según medios estatales. La sentencia constituye el episodio más reciente de la caída de quien alguna vez fue símbolo del auge económico del país.

Hui Ka Yan se declaró culpable en abril de múltiples cargos relacionados con su etapa como presidente de la mayor empresa inmobiliaria de China, entre ellos fraude y uso indebido de fondos.

La sentencia culmina la dramática caída de Hui —también conocido como Xu Jiayin—, quien pasó de un origen humilde, durante una convulsa era política, a alcanzar los niveles más altos de influencia y riqueza.

Evergrande Group está asfixiado por la deuda desde 2021 y acumula pasivos por US$ 300.000 millones. Su crisis, junto con la de otros gigantes del sector, ha sido un componente central de la conmoción inmobiliaria que ha puesto a prueba a la segunda economía más grande del mundo y ha amenazado con contagiar a los mercados mundiales.

Además de la cadena perpetua, Hui también fue condenado a entregar sus bienes personales y se le privó de todos sus derechos políticos, informó la agencia oficial de noticias Xinhua, citando el veredicto emitido por un tribunal de Shenzhen, una metrópolis del sur del país.

El Grupo Evergrande fue multado con 8.820 millones de yuanes (US$ 1.230 millones), mientras que Evergrande Real Estate recibió una multa de 7.000 millones de yuanes (US$ 1.041 millones), informó Xinhua. Se trata de algunas de las mayores multas penales impuestas por el gobierno chino a empresas.

Hui y el Grupo Evergrande fueron declarados culpables de varios cargos, entre ellos fraude financiero; inflar activos y ocultar pasivos; captar ilegalmente depósitos del público; fraude en la recaudación de fondos; y divulgación ilegal de información importante.

Las sentencias marcan un momento clave en la crisis inmobiliaria que continúa afectando a China, que ha golpeado la confianza de los consumidores en el país y ha generado un problema para un gobierno que basa su legitimidad en el aumento de la prosperidad.

“Las conductas delictivas del Grupo China Evergrande, Evergrande Real Estate y Hui Ka Yan alteraron gravemente el orden de la economía de mercado socialista, vulneraron los derechos de propiedad públicos y privados y socavaron la integridad de los funcionarios públicos en el desempeño de sus funciones”, señaló el veredicto.
