Welcome to the Golden Era Initial jobless claims just did something they haven’t done since 1969. New filings for unemployment benefits dropped to 187,000 for the week ending July 18 — a nearly 57-year low, and a much bigger drop than economists expected. Wall Street spend time debating whether this is “good” or “bad” news for the Fed. I think both sides are missing the real story. This isn’t a cyclical blip. It’s demographics finally showing up in the data. Birth rates across the developed world — the U.S., Europe, Japan, China, South Korea — have been falling for decades, and the workforce math is now catching up. Fewer young workers are entering the labor force every year than are retiring out of it. That’s not a recession signal. It’s a structural worker shortage, and jobless claims sitting near six-decade lows is exactly what you’d expect that shortage to look like on paper: a “low-hire, low-fire” economy where employers are desperate to hold onto the workers they already have. Here’s the part that should get your attention: a labor shortage this deep can’t be solved the old-fashioned way. You can’t out-immigrate your way out of a birth-rate collapse fast enough,…

The WNBA doesn’t always get attention for the right reasons. In fact, these days, it’s increasingly for the wrong ones.Perhaps no other WNBA incident in recent months has generated as much attention as DiJonai Carrington’s, shall we say, aggressive foul on Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.Carrington clotheslined Cunningham, leaving her with a bloody mouth. The foul was upgraded to a flagrant 2, resulting in Carrington’s immediate ejection.That was bad enough, especially considering it came against Cunningham, who’s become public enemy number one in the WNBA for saying that males shouldn’t compete in women’s sports. But Carrington made it worse when she posted “White privilege” on social media after the game, then tagged the Indiana Fever.DIJONAI CARRINGTON DECLARES ‘WHITE PRIVILEGE’ AFTER EJECTION FOR SMACKING SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM IN THE FACE Most took that to mean that Carrington was implying that she was ejected because her foul came against a White player. Essentially, that she was only assessed a harsher foul because of her race, and obviously, Cunningham’s.Despite the immediate backlash to Carrington’s post, the WNBA has remained essentially silent about it. Though Carrington herself addressed it by… referring to her educational background?”I’ve never once claimed that the assessment of the foul was…

What Happened in 2026 So Far Gold has had an insane time this decade. Six years ago, in January 2020, gold’s price was $1,500/ounce. During the Covid-19 March Panic, the price was fell to $1,418 on March 18th, only to surge to a record high of $2,075/oz in August 2020, breaching the seemingly impossible $2,000/ounce benchmark, which many thought would never be done. In August 2020, just as gold hits this incredible new milestone, interest rates bottom. When I say that they bottom, I mean that they have gone near those levels again and who knows if they ever will. On August 4th 2020, lenders were willing to receive 0.52% from the Treasury, for funds lent for 10 years! Today, lenders are asking for 4.74%, as I write this. The difference is huge, because if a lender gave the Treasury department $1,000,000 in August 2020, he signed a loan that provided him with $5,200/year in interest income. Today, if I lend the government $110,000, I would receive that same amount, so whoever held his bond from August 2020 to present, has lost 89% in less than SEVEN YEARS! While interest rates have soared since August 2020, the price of gold…

The WNBA convened a task force to figure out what a woman is, emerged without an answer, scheduled more meetings to keep figuring it out, then scolded everyone else for the “hate and vitriol” surrounding the debate.On Wednesday, the WNBA finally offered an update on its progress.Turns out, the answer is more meetings.WNBPA ISSUES STATEMENT EMBRACING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AMID TRANS ATHLETE DEBATE IN WOMEN’S SPORTS”Today’s meeting covered a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed at players online. We will continue to engage all league stakeholders in the coming weeks and months. We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and in alignment with the values of our league. There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA, and we strongly denounce the bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others.”The WNBA took the corporate escape hatch. Dodge the question, scold the critics and kick the can down the road. Somewhere in all these meetings is WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, who runs a women’s league that still can’t settle on who qualifies as a woman. Quite the predicament.The loophole gets a lot more complicated to ignore when…

No Pain No Gain Ceuta is a Spanish city located on the North African coast. Its strategic position at the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea made it a historical prize. Phoenicians, Romans, and Visigoths ruled it sequentially. In 711 AD, the Umayyad Caliphate seized control, integrating it into the Islamic world. Portugal conquered the city in 1415 during the Age of Discovery. In 1580, Spain and Portugal united under a single crown. When the union dissolved in 1640, Ceuta’s residents chose to remain loyal to Spain. The 1668 Treaty of Lisbon officially recognized Spanish sovereignty over the enclave. Today, Ceuta is an Autonomous City of Spain and an integral part of the European Union. Morocco claims sovereignty over Ceuta, viewing it as occupied territory. This ongoing dispute creates regular diplomatic friction. Because Ceuta represents a land border between Africa and the EU, it is a major flashpoint. An unprecedented border crisis is overwhelming Ceuta, when nearly 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco over a few days. Pedro Sánchez is a radical opportunist that is justifying his dictator-like policies with fantasies of globalization and human rights. In order to completely change the demographics of Spain and maintain power, his progressive social engineering,…
