US Bond rates getting worse. More Inflation. AI Bubble will pop soon enough.

However, Lei's Real Talk YT channel had a video explaining that

China at all levels of government is running a $3 trillion deficit.

China has its own Epstein crisis in the form of the torture and murder

of Chinese actor Alan Yu. It involved trillions in stolen taxpayer funds

which were laundered by Chinese politicians.

Russia Tests SARMAT MISSILE (This is a test of an existing missile)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z3JkiQ_OrQ

  Mach 28 is equal to approximately 5.92 miles per second (mi/s).

This conversion is based on the standard formula where 1 Mach = 0.21145 mi/s.

(The US has no defense against any missile as gast as Mach 9 so the days of the US dictating global

sanctions using its Navy are over.)

A UK (Muslim) Green councillor is getting roasted after showing off a Lamborghini while backing anti driver policies

 The video showed Mohammad Baghdadi Khan at the wheel of the gas-guzzling supercar alongside footage of him winning his seat last week in the Halliwell ward of Bolton, Greater Manchester.

Featuring the Lamborghini Huracán Spyder – which cost up to £270,000 – the film appears to have been taken during a wedding in 2023 when a fleet of supercars ferried guests to the venue.

Millions Of Student Borrowers Are Defaulting: They Are 40 Years Old On Average

 

The NY Federal published its latest report on Household Debt and Credit for the first quarter: the report showed total household debt increased by $18 billion, just a 0.1% increase, in Q1 2026, to $18.8 trillion.

 

 

 Some details:

Mortgage balances shown on consumer credit reports grew slightly by $21 billion during the first quarter of 2026 and totaled $13.19 trillion at the end of March.

Balances on home equity lines of credit (HELOC) rose by $12 billion, marking the 16th consecutive quarterly increase. Outstanding HELOC balances now total $446 billion, $129 billion above the low reached in 2022Q1.

Non-housing debt balances declined by $15 billion, or 0.3%, from 2025Q4. This decline was driven primarily by a seasonal decrease in credit card balances, which fell by $25 billion and now stand at $1.25 trillion.

Student loan balances were essentially flat, decreasing by $6 billion and standing at $1.66 trillion.

Auto loan balances grew by $18 billion, to $1.69 trillion.

Other balances, which include retail cards and consumer finance loans, edged down by $2 billion to $562 billion.
