TMI Show Ep 42: “Pre-Trump Economic Jitters”

The TMI Show ·

2024/12/19

As Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House in one month, some economic signals are blinking yellow. Investors unsettled by the Fed's forecast for fewer cuts in 2025 pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 1,123 points, or 2.6%, while the Nasdaq composite dropped 3.6%. The Dow has lost 2,900 points since December 4th. It’s a tale of two economies: consumer sentiment among Republican voters is at its highest since late 2020, whereas Democrats feel the same as they did in the summer of

2024/12/19

Defeated presidential candidate Kamala Harris says it's time for Democrats to roll up their sleeves and start the resistance to Donald Trump. But the party appears to be in disarray, totally dispirited and unable to find a way forward. How should Democrats prepare for the 2026 midterm elections and an open race for 2028? More than 10 million progressive voters stayed home, which allowed Trump to win; can the party do something to bring them back? Is there a way to reconcile symbolic political

2024/12/18

Earlier this year President Biden signed a rare law that passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan approval: by January 19th, TikTok must be sold to an American company or shut down its American operations. Democrats and Republicans alike were concerned that the Chinese-owned company might be pressured by the Chinese government to turn over Americans private user data. However, there's no evidence that this has ever occurred. Now ByteDance, TikTok’s parent, is asking the United States Supreme

The United States is among the 32 countries, mostly in the Americas, that have birthright citizenship. If you are born here, you get a US passport. Conservatives have long complained that the 14th Amendment provides a loophole for so-called "anchor babies,” of whom there are at least 4 million born to illegal immigrants. But those numbers are dropping annually. Jus soli, or the right of the soil, is in the crosshairs of the incoming second Trump Administration, with the president-elect threatening

Donald J. Trump is about to become the first president since Grover Cleveland to serve one term, lose a reelection bid and then run a third time successfully for a second term. What has Trump and his team learned from his first term? How will he govern differently? This time he has added progressives like Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to his team, drawing from the left of the Democratic Party in a way that he didn't do the first time around; how will they impact his policies? As a lame

TMI Show Ep 36 : “Health Insurance Horror Stories”

2024/12/12

The shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has sparked a national conversation about the state of healthcare in the United States. The accused shooter, Luigi Mangione, allegedly wrote a manifesto in which he pointed out that the U.S. has low life expectancy despite paying the highest costs for healthcare in the world. And he appears to have lit a fuse as “Wanted” posters have gone up on the city streets depicting other health insurance company executives accused of putting profits

Ties between Syria and Russia go back not only through the Soviet Union but even to Czarist Russia. Now, presumably because Russia is so focused on Ukraine, it was unable to save its ally, President Bashar al-Assad, from being deposed by Islamist insurgents. Assad is safely in Moscow but Damascus is a different matter. Americans who remember the optimistic coverage of the fall of Baghdad in 2003 know better than to take similar images and coverage seriously now. Senior Research Fellow at the Global

This feels like a movie you've seen before: a secular socialist government where women and ethnic minorities have rights that are respected is targeted by the United States and its allies in large part because it shows that left-wing politics can be successful. The Carter administration armed the mujaheddin in Afghanistan, setting the stage for Al Qaeda and 9/11. The Bush Administration overthrew Saddam Hussein in Iraq, creating a failed state that became a vassal of Iran and a home for ISIS. Obama

Yesterday morning the 50-year-old CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, was shot to death on the sidewalk in midtown Manhattan by an unknown assailant. Even including the reaction to the death of Osama bin Laden, it's hard to think of another high-profile murder that has been greeted with as much glee and schadenfreude by the American public. Comments sections in news stories and social media were filled with comments about how Brian Thompson had it coming, hopefully this is the first of many,

Scarcely noticed by most of the world, the Civil War in Syria has been grinding out for more than a decade. A proxy war with the central government of Bashar al-Assad, supported by its traditional ally Russia (along with Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon) against an assortment of radical jihadi militias, including remnants of Al Qaeda supported by the United States under the cover of going after the terrorist group ISIS, the balance of power had remained relatively stable at the front lines despite the

President Joe Biden and his press secretary and other surrogates have repeatedly told the media that he would not pardon his son Hunter Biden on federal tax evasion and gun charges under any circumstance whatsoever. Nothing has substantially changed, yet the president has gone ahead and issued the most controversial presidential pardon since Gerald Ford let Richard Nixon off the hook. Moreover, he has used language familiar to those who follow President-elect Donald Trump to excuse his brazen self

It's very close to being an American to admit to not liking Thanksgiving. You're supposed to like the food, even though if it was popular, why don't we eat these things all year round? In fact, surveys consistently show that Americans, when given the option to answer these questions privately to pollsters, strongly dislike yams, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, stuffing and, yes, even turkey.Ted Rall has always hated Thanksgiving and isn't afraid to say so here and now.

However, what was expected to be a quiet transition in America's proxy war heated up dramatically after President Joe Biden reversed himself in order to allow Ukraine to fire US-made and US-operated ATACMS missiles up to 200 miles inside the

A smear, the dictionary says, is a word or statement applied to a person in order to degrade, blacken, or make unjust or unfounded accusations. The lead in today’s New York Times, a story titled “How Tulsi Gabbard Became a Favorite of Russia’s State Media,” is a textbook example of a smear. Relying on guilt by association, reading into similarities between her opinions and those of U.S. adversaries, assuming the worst of her while taking her enemies’ statements at face value, and twisting reality
