Only In Cali: New Bill Would Imprison Healthcare Workers For Using Incorrect Pronouns With Patients

Thrill-Seeking Chinese Tourists Rush To Visit North Korea "Before The Regime Collapses"
While nearly two-thirds of Americans view North Korea as a “serious threat” and most would rather vacation literally anywhere else following the death of college student Otto Warmbier, Chinese adventure-seekers are visiting the North in ever-greater numbers, according to Reuters.
The Race Against Time
Authored by Jeff Thomas via InternationalMan.com, For decades, in discussing the ever-increasing hegemony of the world’s principal governments (US, EU, et al.), I’ve been asked repeatedly, “When will the governments understand that this obsession they have to become all-powerful is not in the interests of the people?” The answer to this question has also remained the same for decades: never.
The Number One Concern For US Citizens Is... Terrorism!?
Submitted by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk.com, Here’s an interesting graph from the World Economic Forum from their article Which countries are on the right track, according to their citizens? Discontent spreads Between October and November 2016, the percentage of people who believe things are on the right track in their country dropped by 2 percentage points to 37% globally.
Slump In Smallest Stocks Vs. Biggest Stocks Is Getting Worse
Micro-cap stocks have suffered a key breakdown relative to mega-cap stocks, suggesting a “risk-off” shift on the part of investors. One of the themes in the stock market this year has been the under-performance of small-cap stocks – and conversely, the out-performance of large-caps. Today’s Chart Of The Day is a caricature of that theme as it involves a comparison between the very smallest stocks, micro-caps, and the very largest, mega-caps.
China Threatens The U.S., Says Will "Not Tolerate Violations Of Its Territorial Waters"
While the geopolitical posturing between the US and China over the South China Seas is nothing new, the latest and most dramatic installment started just one month ago, when as part of its celebration to commemorate the successful victory over Japan in World War II, China sailed five warships to the Bering Sea, off the coast of Alaska, just as Obama was quite literally taking selfies of himself a few hundred miles away.
How Bad Can This Get, And How Fast?
Submitted by Raul Ilargi Meijer via The Automatic Earth, There’s so much negative real bad economic and financial news out there that it’s hard to choose a ‘favorite’, but I guess I’m going to have to go with what underlies and ‘structures’ it all, the IIF stating that for the first time since 1988 and the Reagan presidency, there’s more money flowing out of emerging markets than there’s flowing in. That is for sure a watershed moment.
US Bombs Afghanistan Hospital, Kills 9 Civilians, Injures 37; Tosses It Off As "Collateral Damage"
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for US foreign policy, or for the credibility of the US state department to slide further, it got much worse.
These Dramatic Before And After Images Of Syria Demonstrate "Success" Of US Foreign Policy
One narrative that’s parroted constantly when the US moves to bring about regime change in the Mid-East is that it’s necessary for the good of the people. Typically, the citizenry is characterized as suffering under the brutal oppression of an autocratic regime which is sometimes accused of committing crimes against humanity in order to maintain an iron grip on power and ensure that the seeds of democracy cannot grow. Of course this narrative is never wholly true and is rarely even partially so.
"I’m Not Crazy, I’m Scared" - Why For One Trader, This Time It Is Different
Bloomberg's Richard Breslow, author of "Trader's Notes" is painfully accurate with his latest take on the "markets." The SPX flirted with all-time highs. The Nasdaq Index made 15 year highs; Chinese equities, and so many other equity indices are flying.
The 'Obama' Warning System
Do our childish minds really think those whom we blindly empower will scurry away like cockroaches exposed by the refrigerator light and leave us be after the fall? Really? Are we serious?
Kyle Bass Warns "The Fed Is Backed Into A Corner... Equities Are My Biggest Liquidity Worry"
While Kyle Bass is usually the smartest man in the room, among this crowd he is Einstein as he carefuly explains - while sitting politely during status quo interruptions - the real state of the world "the unintended consequence of QE has been to widen the income gap," what is behind the Potemkin Village of the stock markets, how The Fed is "backed into a corner" of raising rates against their will, and why bond yields (at the long-end) will drop further.
Paul "Orwell" Krugman Touts Job Growth in the Obama Recovery
For years, Paul Krugman has been warning that the inadequate fiscal stimulus package of early 2009, coupled with the disastrous spending cuts of the “sequester” package, were leading to a “postmodern recovery” and “jobless trap” for the millions of Americans locked out of employment due to coldhearted Republicans.
