I don't want to doompost, but two charts tell me this tension isn't resolving in a week. Crude inverted has 100+ targets in play. If the $TLT selloff continues, 10-year yields could hit 7%. Here's my read: The Epstein files created a pressure cooker. When you have compromising intel on the most powerful people in the world, that leverage doesn't disappear. It gets used. The timing of this Middle East escalation isn't random. Trump ran on "America First." Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, uninsured, and exhausted. Nobody voted for another war. Yet here we are. So why is he going along with it? Because the *redacted* got him by the balls. That's why. The bill for all of this will be handed to the American taxpayer. Inflation, oil prices, and a defense budget that never shrinks. America First was always going to collide with the interests that actually run Washington. We're watching that collision happen in real time.
