President Donald Trump announced Monday that tariffs targeting automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and other industries would be revealed soon, creating uncertainty in international trade relations. He delivered his comments at a Cabinet meeting earlier this week. This came just hours after he released a different plan to slap 25% tariffs on every...
The cryptocurrency market, a space usually subject to mood and market manipulation, is currently experiencing an interesting bifurcation. While Bitcoin continues its dance with institutional acceptance, Dogecoin (DOGE), the meme-turned-market-mover, is quietly positioning itself for a potential resurgence. My perspective, shaped by years of observing these digital currents, suggests that...
Even at the calmest times, the cryptocurrency market is notoriously unpredictable. Fast forward to today, with Donald Trump reentering the political stage, and it faces a completely different set of headwinds. As one who has made a career covering financial markets, I understand how quick and volatile market sentiment can...
The concept of a “DOGE dividend” has been making the rounds lately. This specific proposal to return such government savings back to taxpayers has recently received the endorsement of President Trump himself. DOGE is shorthand for the Department of Government Efficiency. Its mission is to identify where the federal government...
And right now, the winds of change are blowing through the SSA once again. Many would embrace this change as a breath of fresh air, but I’m still feeling the concern. Given these challenges, the agency has moved forward with formally nominating a new commissioner. This state of affairs begs...

Promising quick results, these drugs are rapidly gaining traction, fueled by aggressive marketing and the desperation of millions struggling with obesity.

The financial media loves to sell an image of recessions as cleansing fires, roasting out all the weak businesses and uncovering all those buried opportunities. I consider this narrative very perilously rosy. Though some will come through untouched, or perhaps even in a more advantageous position, the truth is much...
In the digital age, transparency and national security are no longer easy to distinguish. This is a recipe for disaster with a minefield of easily avoidable breaches which can have catastrophic impacts. I strongly agree that leaking sensitive information is a treasonous crime. When these types of breaches threaten our...
