What About The Ceiling?

by Karl Denninger, Market Ticker:

The details are still a bit thin but…..

There is no reduction in the debt on the table.  That is, the government refuses to cut spending to less than what it can take in via taxes.

The growth in “mandatory” programs, specifically CMS, is where the problem is as I’ve pointed out for 30 years, all the way back to long before this column was originated and when I was running MCSNet.  Its a math problem when you get down to it, but that also means its a serious political problem because waving your arms around will do nothing.

What makes it worse is that all of it is illegal.  15 USC Chapter 1 makes what our medical and pharmaceutical firms do on a daily basis federal felonies carrying 10 year prison terms — for each person screwed, and each occurrence.  Two decisions, Royal Drug (440 U.S. 205 (1979)) and Maricopa County (457 U.S. 332 (1982)) both found that there is no immunity from anti-trust law for medical providers, medical “insurance” companies or drug companies.

Nolte: The CNN of Beers — Bud Light Sales Crash 30% Week of May 20

by John Nolte, Breitbart:

Two months into the Bud Light transvestite debacle and sales are worsening with a staggering drop of 29.5 percent for the week ending May 20.

Everyone assumed time would heal Bud Light’s public relations debacle. Eventually, it was assumed, beer drinkers would get over their anger at Anheuser-Busch for “partnering” with Dylan Mulvaney, a guy who runs around in a dress mocking women. All Bud Light had to do was wait it out, right? After all, it’s not easy to get someone to change their brand, especially their beer brand, right?

This Is The End Of A Mega-Cycle

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

Have we finally reached the end of the road?  When it comes to the economy, most of us focus on short-term cycles.  In recent years there have been times when the economy has been growing and there have been times when the economy has been shrinking, but all of those short-term fluctuations have happened in the context of a long-term trend of debt-fueled “growth”.  We have been relentlessly stealing from the future in order to make the present more pleasant, and most of us pretend that the piper will never have to be paid.  But of course the truth is that a day of reckoning is fast approaching, and that day of reckoning is going to be immensely painful.

THE AMERICAN MARXIST CULTURAL REVOLUTION WILL SLAUGHTER MILLIONS

from SGT Report:

Look around and ask yourself, how many of your friends and neighbors, how many of you fellow Americans have ANY understanding of the slaughters that occurred under the Marxist cultural revolutions of Mao, Pol Pot or Stalin. How many Americans have NO IDEA whatsoever that the exact same blueprint which led to the Democides of hundreds of millions of innocent people is the same identical blueprint being executed right now in America in the name of trans, woke DemonRat ideologies? This information could save the life of you and your family. Spread it far and wide. Harley Schlanger is my guest.

The Real Reason Beer Companies Are Going Woke

by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:

(Jon Miltimore) — The puns were flowing like wine, or rather, beer, on social media this week when Miller Lite went viral for an ad campaign that blasted its own brand for “sexism.”

“Hold my beer, Budweiser! Miller Lite’s new feminist spokeswoman is here to cuss at you and explain why men are evil,” wrote Not the Bee.

“Miller Lite apparently wants the Bud Light boycott treatment too,” said Rogan O’Handley, a Hollywood lawyer turned conservative commentator and supporter of former President Donald Trump. “Newsflash: After a hard day’s work, working-class beer drinkers don’t want to be lectured like they’re in a gender studies class at SUNY-Oswego.”

The Debt Ceiling Deal Is Far Worse Than Most Conservatives Imagined

by JD Rucker, Discern Report:

As details emerge about the debt ceiling deal reached between Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and the Biden-Harris regime, the hopes of sensible fiscal policy flies out the window. Most conservatives who have been paying attention knew we were going to get hosed, but this is even worse than expected.

Here’s a breakdown by Congressman Chip Roy with some of the main points of idiocy:

Deflation/Inflation/Bust with Michael Pento

by Kerry Lutz, Financial Survival Network:

Michael Pento believes that the Fed’s rapid rate increases have caused a banking crisis, and that the Fed’s actions have created an artificial construct that will lead to a deflationary recession/depression followed by runaway inflation. He predicts a 30-50% drop in equity averages and suggests investors play it safe by collecting dividends in a safe manner.
