  • Death to Australia. Death to America. Death to Europe. Death to Israel. Death to Christian’s. Death to me. Death to you. But Islam is a religion of peace and I get called an extreme right wing Christian nationalist who is a fascist communist anti-Semite racist (I’ve been called all of these and many more and I’m none of them). I like to think of myself as a common sense patriotic American who understands service and sacrifice for one’s nation. Get with it folks, this is a war between two completely different ideologies. We haven’t collided yet, but when these world collide, it is going to be high adventure for sure. (video)

  • FLASHBACK: BERNIE SANDERS CALLED OPEN BORDERS A "RIGHT-WING PROPOSAL" BEFORE BIDEN ERA. In a resurfaced 2015 interview, Sanders fiercely opposed unrestricted immigration - the exact policy he later supported under Biden. The Vermont Senator didn't mince words: "Open borders? That's a Koch brothers proposal... It would make everybody in America poorer". Sanders specifically highlighted how such policies would devastate American workers, noting youth unemployment was already at 33% for white teens, 36% for Hispanic youth, and 51% for African-Americans. His blunt conclusion: "You don't address international poverty by making people in this country even poorer". (video)

  • Euro Stoxx 50 futures -4.3%.
  • S&P 500 futures -4.0%.
  • NASDAQ 100 futures -4.9%.

BOTTOM LINE: Asian indices are sharply lower, weighed down by technology and commodity shares in the region. I expect US stocks to open sharply lower and to maintain losses into the afternoon.  The Portfolio is market neutral heading into the week.

  • MEXICO PLANS TO DUMP 400M GALLONS OF SEWAGE INTO THE U.S. San Diego’s Jim Desmond is sounding the alarm—Mexico’s about to dump 400 million gallons of sewage into the Tijuana River. The filth is set to flow straight into U.S. waters, and Desmond isn’t holding back, calling America a dumping ground for Mexico’s waste. It’s not just gross—it’s a blatant environmental hazard.
