If someone isn’t parking a TACO food truck outside the White House, what are we even doing with this stupid timeline!?

It's not just a "sell America" trade that's driving yields higher. In Japan, 30-year yields surged to the highest levels in 25 years after a very weak bond auction. The Prime Minister called Japan's fiscal situation "extremely poor, worse than Greece's."

My dad would tell me about the day he came back home. The crowd cheered his name and the tears were flowing. It’s the little things that makes sports so great. Also, let’s go Knicks.

@profgalloway.com do you get the feeling that Republicans want to turn most of our government functions into a privatized systems similar to healthcare. Tax payer pays way more while execs extract excessive rents while we get worse services. Income inequality widens.

I’m putting together a YouTube video based on the Stutz bear raid, then corner in 1920. It’s a crazy story that defined the corruption by the insiders in the NYSE. It’s quite shocking the lengths they went to ruin someone who wasn’t part of the club. Hoping to have it done by the weekend.

Before Rome became a Mediterranean powerhouse, Carthage was already dominating trade routes from North Africa to Spain. Discover how this Phoenician colony evolved into a wealthy merchant republic that would eventually challenge Rome for supremacy. #AncientHistory #Carthage

If anyone is looking for a video explaining how fractional reserve banking was inadvertently created by English goldsmiths. It's also a primer on how money is created. youtu.be/GxgR1v2hJno

.427 BA, 10HRs, 31 RBIs. This has to be one of the best Aprils in the history of baseball.

1914-French Finance Minister, Joe Caillaux, proposed an income tax. A conservative paper (Le Figaro) hated it and him. Caillaux married 3x but cheated on them. 2nd wife reads it in the paper. Goes to the editor of the paper. Shoots him 6 times dead. Trial of the century in July 1914 as WWI broke out
