If the latest economic figures are a true reflection of what is going on, China’s problem with weak domestic demand and a large exportable surplus that needs to be soaked up by demand elsewhere is only exacerbated. If it is not a true reflection, the official growth target is in serious question.

(The US and a lot of other nations did that in 1930. Smoot Hawley Tariff. That did not end well.

Depressions are credit cycles. What we need is 100% money as developed by Dr Irving Fisher. The Treasury creates the both the Treasury Notes

which replace the Federal Reserve Notes and the checking account money. There is no government debt.  and no interest on that debt. Bankers do

not allow discussion of those facts despite the coming Depression. As I said many times before, 3 to 4 million Americans starved to death in the 1930s.

I expect a lot more people to die this time, maybe even a Civil War. I want to live in a small town. )

 Russia Turns Up The Heat On Ukraine's Odessa As Port Strikes Intensify

Border crossing with Romania also targeted overnight (Russia took out all the locomotives, closed the ports. So the Ukrainians are using trucks to trade with Romania and Poland. Only problem is that drones that use AI and imaging software to spot commercial trucks. )

(Zelensky pissed off the Russian voters when he killed orphans at an orphanage and children at a school. All Putin could do is to pound the place until the October elections. He could tell people on a Friday that the center of Kiev will cease to exist after 3 Am Sunday morning. On Saturday morning after 12 noon, we will start pounding the downtown area with drones to give people

the message we are serious. Then on Sunday he can fire a few missiles and some drones to make sure they have no Patriot interceptors left. Then Russia fires an Oreshnik at a height of one mile. There are 36 submunitions. Each one will dig a hole and burn everything at 7,232 degrees F. It will make great TV for the Russian voters back home before the elections. AfD can use videos of the craters and explain how those crazy pro-EU parties want a draft to send young Germans to die. Any incoming missile one mile distant traveling at Mach 10 will smoke you in one second, just hope that your aren't hit by flying shrapnel and you are not in one of those 36 burn pits. Lots of young people might want to join that army, maybe the pro-EU people could ask the voters to pas a draft.)

If there is anyone left in Kiev, they will have no electricity and no heat. If they have a camera, they can take pictures of the Russian Army and sell them to Reuters.

Judge To Rule Today On Whether Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin Will Stand Trial

Kirk's widow and prosecutors are urging a Utah judge to send Tyler James Robinson's case to trial; his lawyers argue there's insufficient 'probable cause'...

(Has the judge ever shot a 30 caliber rifle? Charlie Kirk was never hit with a rifle round. The whole case is BS.)

 Times Square Stabbing Victim Was Bank of America VP

  One of the two victims of a Midtown Manhattan stabbing yesterday has been identified as a vice president in Bank of America's global corporate and investment bank division, the WSJ reports.

Erin Piacenti, 32, of New Jersey was in Times Square when an unhinged woman armed with knives attacked both Piacenti and a man shortly after 4:20 p.m.

"We are shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague. She was a valued teammate who will be greatly missed," a BofA spokesman said. "Our hearts go out to her family and all of her loved ones."

(probably selected the woman to kill because she was pretty, young, successful and well dressed. The killer was fat, ugly, poorly dressed and unsuccessful.)

Edouard's cone of uncertainty extends over Port Arthur, a major center for US oil refining, natural gas processing and energy exports. The region is home to Motiva Enterprises' Port Arthur complex, the largest refinery in the US, as well as facilities operated by Valero Energy, TotalEnergies and BASF.

 Jury in Lindsay Clancy Murder Trial DEADLOCKED – Unable to Come to Unanimous Decision

(Remember the Menedez brothers who killed their mother and father. A Black man said they took  an 

initial vote. He thought the verdict would come back in an hour.  He was surprised when 6 people voted

not guilty. Then he learned that all 6 of the innocent voters were women. That's when he learned that there were 

6 women all voted not guilty.)
