That said, if you are so stupid that you want to surgically "change" your sexual identity, you have a mental disorder.  

Taking gender-affirming drugs (Big Pharma loves that crap) and thinking you are a member of the opposite sex, is prima facie evidence that you are crazy and a danger to own a firearm.

DALLAS MISERY

AT&T.

Once a great company.

When you look at the current stock price, the massive dividend reduction, the employee morale, the number of retirees affected, the billions of shareholder equity evaporated, and the current advertising campaign for AT&T BUSINESS, the specific spot titled 'So Easy a Baby Could Do It' (which highlights the simplicity of setting up AT&T Business services) you know the share price isn't going anywhere soon.

Good luck to the great employees at a once great company, now back in the office.

The real solution is letting house prices fall so buyers don’t need to borrow as much to buy them. Ironically, Fed rate cuts will push mortgage rates even higher."      Peter Schiff on X

This morning we were the first group out on the the DEER CREEK GOLF COURSE in Crossville, TN.

A fun-loving foursome ready to hammer! 

It was a beautiful morning, a bit foggy, cool, some spotty clouds and cleared off about 8 a.m.

We played great golf, had more fun than legal, and laughed at the darndest things.  I will admit, I am a far better trader than a golfer!

Got back to my office and about fell out of my chair.

What a magnificent day to own stocks in the greatest country in the world.

ATLANTA, Stop the Grinnin'

Data from Fulton County, where Atlanta is located, shows a decline in new HIV diagnoses from 2018 to 2023: 603 in 2018, 552 in 2019, 479 in 2020, 525 in 2021, 518 in 2022, and 466 in 2023.

For 2025, no specific data on new diagnoses in Atlanta is available in the provided sources. However, Georgia as a whole reported approximately 2,500 new HIV cases in 2023, with metro Atlanta accounting for more than half of these. Fulton and DeKalb counties, part of metro Atlanta, had some of the highest rates of new infections nationwide, at about 50 cases per 100,000 people. Extrapolating from 2023 data, Fulton County’s 466 cases in 2023 suggest a monthly average of about 39 cases, but this is a rough estimate and not specific to 2025.

Felon at Work

Michael Milken pleaded guilty to six felony counts related to securities and tax law violations in April 1990. The specific crimes he was convicted of are:

1. Conspiracy: Engaging in a scheme with others to defraud clients and manipulate securities markets.
2. Securities Fraud: Violating securities laws by manipulating stock prices and engaging in fraudulent transactions, including assisting Ivan Boesky in concealing stock purchases.
3. Mail Fraud: Using the mail system to further fraudulent schemes.
4. Filing False Reports with the SEC: Submitting inaccurate reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
5. Assisting in the Filing of a False Tax Return: Aiding in the preparation of fraudulent tax documents to evade taxes.
6. Assisting a Brokerage Firm in Violating Its Net Capital Requirements: Helping a firm bypass regulations regarding the minimum capital it was required to maintain.

These convictions stemmed from a plea bargain, which allowed Milken to avoid more serious charges like racketeering and insider trading from the original 98-count indictment. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison (later reduced to 22 months served), fined $200 million, ordered to pay $400 million into a restitution fund, and permanently barred from the securities industry

August Humor..................

A Department of Fish and Wildlife from a State employee sends a letter to a home/landowner asking for permission to access a creek on his property to document the decline in a certain species of unheard of frogs.

The property owners' response in the letter is EPIC.

Letter from Dept. Of Fish & Wildlife: Dear Landowner: WDFWR Staff will be conducting surveys for foothill yellow-legged frogs & other amphibians over the next few months. As part of this research, we would like to survey the creek on your property. I am writing this letter to request your permission to access your property.

RESPONSE FROM LANDOWNERS: Dear Mr. Nemel: Thank you for your inquiry regarding accessing our property to survey for the yellow-legged frog. We may be able to help you out with this matter. We have divided our 2.26 acres into 75 equal survey units with a draw tag for each unit.

Always Question Health Care Providers

Nutrition education in U.S. medical schools has historically been limited. A 2010 survey found that only 27% of U.S. medical schools met the National Academy of Sciences’ 1985 recommendation of at least 25 hours of nutrition education, with an average of 19 hours across the curriculum (standard deviation 13.7 hours). Some schools provided as little as 0–12 hours, so the “3 hours” claim could reflect the lower end at certain institutions.  A 2021 survey of U.S. and U.K. medical schools reported an average of 11 hours of nutrition training, often integrated into biochemistry, pathology, or physiology rather than as a standalone course. Nutrition is frequently taught in a nutrient-focused way (e.g., vitamin deficiencies) rather than practical dietary counseling, which limits its applicability.

Biggest Scam on Earth

 

$37 Trillion is CHUMP CHANGE

One of the larger categories of unfunded liabilities is future federal employee and veterans benefits.

At the end of the 2024 fiscal year, this alone represented a $15 trillion obligation. However, by leaps and bounds, the largest unfunded liabilities spring from America’s social insurance obligations — primarily Social Security and Medicare. At fiscal-year end, these liabilities totaled a towering $105.8 trillion.

Stacking these and other unfunded liabilities on top of the publicly-held national debt and other obligations, you arrive at a grand total of $151.3 trillion at the end of the 2024 fiscal year. Offsetting that by an estimated $7.9 trillion in US government commercial assets — including property, plant, equipment and purported gold holdings — a Just Facts analysis puts Uncle Sam at an overall net-negative $143 trillion.

Writing at the Heartland Institute, Just Facts president James Agresti put that nearly-incomprehensible total in perspective: “$143 trillion amounts to 85% of the net wealth Americans have accumulated since the nation’s founding, estimated by the Federal Reserve to be $169 trillion. This includes all of their assets in savings, real estate, corporate stocks, private businesses, and even consumer durable goods like automobiles and furniture.”

Those numbers reflected the government’s position on Sept 30, 2024. They’ve not only grown significantly worse in the intervening months, they’re deteriorating at a blistering pace even as you read this: Not even counting the unfunded liabilities that represent the biggest part of the problem, the national debt alone is increasing at something like $156 million per hour.

Wrangling over the budget isn’t going to save us. Congressional debates tend to center on discretionary spending — outlays that require a vote by Congress during the appropriations process. However, America’s steady march to insolvency is driven by so-called mandatory spending, which is hardwired by previously-enacted laws.

In what may be the most ominous indication that the government is on an autopilot-course for catastrophe, the proportion of total federal outlays driven by mandatory spending has more than doubled since 1965 — from 34% to 73% in 2024. It was at 71% just two years earlier, in 2022.

From Manhattan Institute’s Spending, Taxes & Deficits: A Book of Charts

The two largest examples of mandatory spending are Social Security and Medicare. Those old-age programs are now well within sight of a crisis that’s been warned about for a generation: According to the latest report from their program trustees, Social Security and Medicare trust funds are now just seven years from insolvency.

While the federal government requires private-sector pension plans to maintain assets equal to the present value of future obligations, the federal government exempts itself from providing the same security to the citizens that it forces into the Social Security program. Contrary to the mythology that payroll taxes are placed in individual “accounts” held for our future benefit, that money is immediately being dished out to other people who’ve already reached the benefit-receiving phase — which is why Social Security can be reasonably compared to a Ponzi scheme.

Because the ratio of taxpaying-workers to beneficiaries is in steady decline — from 5.1 in 1960 to 2.7 in 2023 — Social Security payouts have exceeded revenues for the last 15 years. As a result, the Social Security and Medicare trust funds are set to run out in 2033. Under the law governing Social Security, payouts that year will be limited to program incomes — which will translate to a sudden 23% cut in payouts.

While that represents a political time bomb, don’t expect any urgency in defusing it. The eight-year countdown is short, but it’s still outside the next-election framing that drives elected officials’ actions. Those politicians know that anyone proposing a long-overdue rethinking of Social Security and Medicare will be opportunistically accused of “attacking” the programs. However, when the crisis is finally in their laps, don’t be surprised if part of their solution is to borrow money to prop up the payouts.

There’s another key component of mandatory spending that isn’t counted in the national debt: interest payments on debt issued to cover past and current spending. “In total, social programs and interest on the national debt—which mainly stems from social programs—account for 75% of all federal spending,” notes Agresti.

Interest payments also represent a steadily growing share of total outlays, and will total almost $1 trillion this year. Within 10 years, interest is projected to reach $2 trillion, roughly equal to the entire 2025 deficit. Last year saw a grim milestone, as interest expense surpassed spending on both defense and Medicare.

From Manhattan Institute’s Spending, Taxes & Deficits: A Book of Charts

Current projections have interest surpassing Social Security to become the largest single expenditure by 2042, but don’t be surprised if that milestone doesn’t come sooner. The government is already descending into a vicious cycle in which mounting US debt has the buyers of that debt demanding higher interest rates in compensation for the growing risk of inflation and/or default — with those higher rates creating larger interest payouts and even more debt.

Beyond mandatory-vs-discretionary, and funded-vs-unfunded, there’s an even more important but far-less-discussed classification of spending that goes to the very heart of America’s march toward financial disaster: constitutional vs unconstitutional. As I noted in the most-read article at Stark Realities, “Americans Are Fighting For Control Of Federal Powers That Shouldn’t Exist”:

Today’s sprawling federal government, which involves itself in almost every aspect of daily American life, is almost entirely unconstitutional.

To rattle off just a random fistful of the federal government’s unauthorized undertakings and entities — brace yourself — there is zero constitutional authority for the Social Security, Medicare, federal drug prohibitions, the Small Business Administration, crop subsidies, the Department of Labor, automotive fuel efficiency standards, climate regulations, the Federal Reserve, union regulation, housing subsidies, the Department of Agriculture, workplace regulations, the Department of Education, federal student loans, the Food and Drug Administration, food stamps, unemployment insurance or light bulb regulations. Even that sampling doesn’t begin to fully account for the scope of the unsanctioned activity.

This Pandora’s box of unconstitutional endeavors was opened wide by unconscionably expansive Supreme Court interpretations of the Constitution in the 1930s. It’s no coincidence that federal spending represented a mere 3% of GDP in 1930 but soared to an economy-warping 23% by 2024.

Now we find the federal government in a $143 trillion hole, a burden that comes out to $1,085,022 per US household. History suggests this will end with a government default. In the United States, that will likely occur not via an explicit repudiation of the debt, but through rampant price inflation as the Treasury and the Federal Reserve conspire to create new money out of thin air to make debt payments.

From Manhattan Institute’s Spending, Taxes & Deficits: A Book of Charts

“They can’t pay the debt, so they have to liquidate the debt,” said Ron Paul in a June conversation with David Lin. “They [won’t] default — they’re always going to pay something for the Treasury bills. What they’re going to do is liquidate the debt by paying it off with counterfeit money.”

While the Fed-Treasury money creation scheme has been with us for a long time, the alarming trajectory of federal debt and spending point to future money-printing on a scale that will trigger hyperinflation and economic collapse. At that point, Americans will stand at a crossroads. Desperation and fear will make them susceptible to the siren song of even more authoritarianism and unconstitutional, centralized command of the economy and society than what put them in such dire straits to begin with.

“People will want to be taken care of,” Paul said. “I see it as an opportunity. If people are promoting the cause of liberty and there’s chaos in the streets, we better get out there and lead the charge and say you don’t need more of what caused this. You don’t need more authoritarianism. What you need is more liberty and more peace, and that means you ought to obey the Constitution.”

Wake Up, Starve Big Pharma

The healthiest old people that I see are barely on any prescriptions and very distrustful of the medical system.

Like me.

Exercise, sunshine, vitamins, great food, little alcohol.

Stay as far from "kill centers" as you can.   Hospital employees hate that term; statistics bear it out.

Remember this boys and girls, it is NOT the intent of Big Pharma to make you healthy.  It is to keep you coming back for more pills and doctor visits to prescribe more pills for you.

From Grock:  Estimates of deaths range from 22,000 to 440,000 annually in the U.S., with 98,000 (IOM) and 251,000 (Johns Hopkins) being commonly cited but debated figures. The true number is likely in the tens of thousands, but methodological flaws and underreporting make precision difficult. Hospitals have made strides in reducing errors (e.g., fewer hospital-acquired infections), but systemic issues like communication failures and overworked staff persist.

There’s a lesson in that somewhere
