Nearly everything on Wall Street is tumbling Monday as fear about a slowing US economy worsens and sets off another sell-off for financial markets around the world. The S&P 500 was down by 4 percent in early trading, coming off its worst week in more than three months. The Nasdaq was down 6 percent to pull it 15 percent below its record set last month. Meanwhile, online brokerages including Charles Schwab and Fidelity Investments were down on Monday - as Americans tried to log in to see how their portfolios were affected. Many were also looking to sell shares.

I like how they lump this together so they can say 2 years, but the fact is that the NASDAQ plunge is the greatest in history.

I sure hope that "one AI company" isn't the only one whose aggressive projections are set back years by this. "AI" is far from being anything resembling objectivity, and the stuff being peddled now has a profound lean to the Left. The media using it will do their own election interference this time, without another human having to lift a finger, and without means to adjust or correct. Propaganda with no possibility of reproach.

Have no fear- Joe Biden is already planning his next 4 day beach vacation followed soon after by a 3 week August vacation. As an aside where will a Pres Harris spend her weekends? She can’t jet back to California every weekend- although she may. I can’t see her going to Camp David much.

Scam businesses always have their bubbles popped with or without a market crash. AI is an absolute scam, but it did benefit in the short term Nvidia (Nancy Pelosi bought recently) and chip makers in general. What will really help chip maker's value will be a chinese invasion of Taiwan. This is what the wef idiots want to see happen, and I bet most of them are heavily invested in chips.

The market is crashing, the world's axis of evil is lurking around every corner and looking for war, our politics is in disarray, and our President is MIA. Kamala keeps saying don't worry, everything is fine (ha,ha, ha, ha, ha), and anything that is wrong is Trump's fault. Sure, Trump hasn't been in power for four years, and the economy is running on Bidenomics. That doesn't matter. Democrats, Biden, Kamala, and the media are turning a blind eye to the world burning all around them and them doing nothing.

Leftist politicians, who know next to nothing about economics, are forever equating the Dow Jones Industrial Average performance with "middle class prosperity." It's possible to inflate corporate stock price while our domestic economy hemorrhages jobs. Don't fall for that myth. The best barometer for economic outlook is the number of empty parking spots at the18-wheeler Truck Stops. A trucker recently told me that his transport company's business is way down from previous years AND that it was never a problem to find a parking space at the truck stops, unlike previous years under Trump.

As expected, Japan bounced back today like a pogo stick. I expected Joe and his henchmen to crash our stock market two years ago because they have they have been trying their best with interest rates, inflation and wasteful spending. I don't see how any of the AI products are making money at this point in time given their infancy, performance based on pre-loaded data bases and manipulation to influence results.

It was in the headlines yesterday the economist architect for Joe Biden left and went over to Kamala's campaign. So we would get four more failing years with this person?

Be careful when reading these kinds of headlines. Are we talking about percent losses or numeric losses? The S&P's 4% dip was about 200 points. In 2009, 200 points in the S&P was 30% of its total value. Liberals love to play with the numbers and mislead if it is to their favor. We should not play that game either. The NASDAQ has seen four days in which it was down more than 9%. Two of those were in March of 2020 during the COVID market meltdown. We can have our own opinions, but not our own facts.

Obama has been in the picture since sometime in 2007 and his hateful rhetoric, racism, communism and divisive politics has been going further into the gutter with every stupid move. Choosing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as his successors may seem like a huge failure but it's only the next progression in what has been a major failure of a stupid but articulate man who we can not even call an American with any degree of certainty. What is wrong with this country?

A whistleblower watchdog has demanded an investigation into government surveillance after ex-Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard was labeled a 'domestic terrorist' and put on a watchlist. Empower Oversight said the U.S. Federal Marshals Service was 'was improperly targeting individuals for enhanced surveillance' on flights and named victims including the former presidential candidate. Meanwhile on Wednesday morning Trump said the Democrat ticket would 'want this country to go communist immediately.' His comments come with Harris not having done an interview and avoiding questions on the campaign trail in the two weeks since she Joe Biden dropped out.

Republican nominee Donald Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of trying to escape presidential debates during a Wednesday appearance on “Fox & Friends.” Trump committed to debating Harris with Fox News moderators on September 4 rather than on ABC News, leading Harris to accuse him of attempting to back out of a debate. The former president told the “Fox & Friends” co-hosts that he is willing to debate Harris to expose her ahead of the 2024 election.“I think debates are very important and I think she’ll be exposed, just like [President Joe] Biden was exposed.

On August 2, many news outlets reported that the autopsy of Thomas Matthew Crooks had been released by the Butler County Coroner’s Office. The fact is that mainstream media are late to the party, and the Butler County Coroner’s Office released the cause and manner of death of Thomas Matthew Crooks to AbleChild nearly two weeks earlier on July 21. Unfortunately, what the mainstream media don’t understand is that the cause and manner of death are not an autopsy, and although an autopsy has already been conducted on the alleged body of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the results of that autopsy may never see the light of day. That’s right.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) requested the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) divulge all correspondence referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as the “Border Czar,” Breitbart News exclusively learned Wednesday. The establishment media labeled Harris the “border czar” at least eight times since President Joe Biden charged Harris in March 2021 “to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border.” After Harris appeared to become the Democrats’ de facto presidential nominee, PolitiFact alleged Harris’s designation as the “border czar” was “mostly false.”

He also signed laws that install tampon-dispensing machines in K-12 schools to broadcast the state’s claim that teenage girls can choose their legal sex, and also a law that allows pedophilia to be someday legally protected under existing state anti-discrimination laws. President Donald Trump’s campaign is eagerly spotlighting Walz’s pro-transgender advocacy, and is describing him as “#TamponTim.”

He absolutely nailed the explanation in a very direct answer, which he laid directly at the feet of Kamala Harris and her party. Vance explained that the two main problems are the flood of illegal immigrants into the country who make competition for housing much worse. And secondly, high interest rates which make purchasing a home that much more difficult.

That timeline might have been pushed up with Walz, a midwestern version of Lenin. The Democratic Party opted for political suicide instead of picking Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, which was everyone’s choice because it made the most sense.

At the beginning of July, Joe Biden was still the presumptive Democrat nominee but rank and file Democrats and their media allies were in total panic over Biden’s diminished mental state which had just been exposed for all to see. As a result, Democrat governors from all over the country came to Washington, DC to meet with Joe Biden at the White House. Several of these governors emerged from the meeting and insisted that Joe Biden was just fine to run for reelection.

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Joe Biden will attempt to reclaim the Democratic nomination after it was “stolen” by Kamala Harris. This comment comes in light of recent announcements confirming Harris’s position as the Democrat presidential nominee, following a controversial series of events leading to Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the 2024 race. Last week, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison announced that Harris has amassed enough delegates to secure her place at the top of the ticket, with final results expected to be confirmed on Monday. Despite never winning a primary election, Harris has now found herself positioned as the official Democrat nominee.

As recently as last week, Kamala Harris appeared to be on the cusp of picking Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) as her running mate. Despite the progressive backlash against him and a slew of scandalous leaks, he was the runaway frontrunner in the betting odds as conventional wisdom held that Kamala needed a "moderate" swing state Democrat to help expand her path to 270 Electoral College votes. Shapiro's chances remained high even after he faced serious allegations by a fellow Democrat of covering up harassment in his office. The sexual harassment cover-up didn't take Shapiro out of contention, and neither did another cover-up — this one involving murder.
