The big wirehouses and their slick TV commercials want you dreaming about vineyards in Napa. I want you to wake up and look at your actual account balance. Those are very different conversations.
The COVID cover story has officially collapsed and the receipts are in. American taxpayer money went to gain of function research in Wuhan, the wet market narrative was fabricated, and the people responsible are not facing a single consequence.
The financial industry has spent decades convincing you that investing is so complicated you need to hand your money to someone with a fancy algorithm and a sharp suit. I spent time on that side of the table, and I am here to tell you it is a con.
If you have less than a million dollars saved, the biggest wealth management firms in America have officially decided you are not worth a single human hour of attention. And they are not even hiding it anymore.
The higher education industry has been running one of the longest-lasting financial cons in American history, and parents keep lining up to hand their kids the bill. I'm done being polite about it.
They tell you cutting foreign aid kills people. They never show you the math. I will show you what your money has actually been buying.
The moment Tulsi Gabbard released her findings on COVID origins, the machine kicked into gear and suddenly she was in a Hindu cult. Convenient. This is textbook narrative burial, and the real story, that your tax dollars funded gain-of-function research with our supposed greatest enemy, is getting buried right along with it.

The latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey shows that for the first time, people say they’re spending more simply because prices are higher—not because they’re buying more. Inflation has quietly crushed household budgets, especially […]
A phenomenal film popped up on my screen the other day, and it hit me: it’s been twenty-five years since Almost Famous came out. Twenty-five years. It’s one of Cameron Crowe’s best, and it came out the same year I first went on the air. And the reason I bring it up now is because the movie has one of the greatest […]
We’ve arrived at a full-on healthcare embarrassment in this country — an Obamacare embarrassment, yes, but also a Republican embarrassment. Let’s be blunt: the GOP has been incompetent on this issue for more than a decade. Completely, undeniably incompetent. I remember Trump’s first term when Republicans were chanting “repeal and replace.” Great. Repeal and replace. Except they only had the first […]
I hit a breaking point this morning. Driving home from the gym, listening to Republican senators and House members making their rounds on cable news, I realized something with absolute clarity: I am never voting for “less bad” again.
