On April 9, 2025, President Donald Trump did what he does best—disrupted the status quo.

You know things are bad when Canada, the land of politeness and maple syrup, decides to straight-up ghost American booze. But that’s exactly what’s happening. In a massive middle finger to U.S. trade policies under Donald Trump, several Canadian provinces have pulled American alcoholic beverages off their shelves. The move isn’t just a flex—it’s a […]
Trump just delayed his big 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada. Again. This is classic Trump—one day, it’s war, the next day, it’s peace talks. The only consistent thing about his economic strategy is that there isn’t one. Why Did He Back Off? Because businesses panicked. Turns out, when you suddenly jack up tariffs, it […]

But here’s the twist—despite being convicted, his sentencing keeps getting delayed. Originally scheduled for mid-2024, the hearing has been pushed back […]
In a move that’s equal parts economic warfare and national security imperative, President Donald Trump is preparing an executive order to yank the U.S. shipbuilding industry out of its decades-long slump. The target? China’s maritime dominance, which has transformed American ports into parking lots for foreign-built ships while domestic shipyards rust away. The plan is […]
It’s happening again. The same hand-waving, jargon-laden reassurances from the financial elite that everything is fine—until it isn’t. Michael Burry and Jeremy Grantham, two of the most prominent doom prophets in finance, have been sounding alarms for years.
