43 Days And Counting: Apathetic Americans Are About To Be Blindsided By A Major League Wake Up Call
I really don’t understand the tremendous apathy that I am witnessing right now. Everyone can see that commercial oil inventories are rapidly being depleted. As I discussed yesterday, the global oil market had about 400 million barrels of excess inventory before the war, and now we have “close to nothing”. But at least we still have the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, right? Yes, that is true, but that is being rapidly depleted as well.

The AI Arms Race Is Outpacing Our Freedom — And Government Censorship Has Already Begun
This relentless commoditization is not just a technological curiosity; it’s a seismic shift in power. As I wrote in February 2026, “On a single afternoon in early 2026, a technological tremor erased $30 billion from IBM’s market capitalization” [1]. The catalyst wasn’t a war or a natural disaster — it was an AI model announcement. The genie is out of the bottle, and no amount of regulatory hand-wringing will stuff it back in. The sheer pace of improvement means that the capabilities we see today will look primitive next year, and the year after that, the most powerful intelligence on Earth may run on a device in your pocket.

Don’t Blame the Billionaires, Change the Incentives
If you read enough commentary, you’ll find various versions of the idea that our ruination is the result of powerful private interests driving government decisions that benefit them at our expense. Simply put, rich guys can buy votes that favor them, and only them. In some cases, they augment their bribes with blackmail.

If you live in the western half of the United States, it is going to be really hot next week.

Fireworks for the Regime: What July 4th Actually Celebrates
Every July 4th, Americans are handed sparklers and told to celebrate their freedom.
