Stonks have really sucked for the last 21.5 years
Average per annum return of 4.77% has been 26% off the long term historical return from 1871 and over 61% off the immediately preceding 21.5 years beginning in February 1979. The Great Reagan Bull didn't even begin until 1982.
The secular bear continues.

Phony Russia lies to its people same as the West lies to its people: Demand for payment in rubles starting tomorrow is just face-saving for Putin at home
Meanwhile Russia continues to sell natural gas which Europe desperately requires, and Putin continues to rake in the dough he needs to continue the war and undergird his regime.
The headline is purely for Russian public consumption.
Putin signs order demanding gas payments in roubles from Friday :
The decree Putin signed on Thursday authorises the state-controlled Gazprombank to open foreign currency and rouble accounts for gas purchases. European buyers would pay in foreign currency and then authorise Gazprombank to make the conversion into roubles, which would then be used to formally purchase the gas.
Fox News freak show hires man now known as Caitlyn Jenner to normalize perversion
The former Olympic gold medalist [Bruce Jenner] and reality TV star will provide commentary across Fox’s programming and platforms. Jenner will make her first appearance on Hannity on Thursday evening.
“Caitlyn’s story is an inspiration to us all,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in announcing the hire. “She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience.”
More.
He doesn't need the money.
This is simply more libertarianism normalizing perversion in order to co-opt conservatism.
Same as Glenn Beck, Matt Walsh, Dennis Prager, et alia normalizing "conservative" homo Dave Rubin or Pete Bootyjudge's "husband". Let's throw Stephen L. Miller in for good measure, even if he thinks it matters that he won't go as far as saying with the trans nuts that some men can get pregnant. Not one of us.
Phony western nations have excluded just one Russian bank from SWIFT, hard currency from energy sales continues to pour in, Ruble recovers to 84 on the Dollar
At the moment, only one of Russia's five largest banks, VTB, has been cut off from SWIFT and subjected to full blocking sanctions, said Fishman, who is now adjunct professor of international and public affairs at Columbia University.

You'll notice that for Drudge now it's NOT an echo of the eight-hour unknown whereabouts of Obama during the Benghazi attack

Will Smith should have decked Chris Rock with his fist instead of slapping him like a sissy

All NATO has is 100-150 B61 thermonuclear gravity bombs vs. thousands of Russian theatre nuclear weapons aimed at Europe
Russian hypersonic missiles armed with nuclear warheads could destroy these B61s in their bunkers in Western Europe before NATO even orders them deployed on aircraft.

I swear Joe Biden is going to get us all killed
So far on this trip to Poland to rally NATO to the defense of Europe, Joe Biden has
1) threatened to respond "in kind" if Russia uses chemical or biological weapons;
2) told members of the 82nd Airborne they're about to deploy to Ukraine ("when you’re there, you’re going to see women, young people standing in the middle, in the front of a damn tank saying 'I’m not leaving.'");
3) specifically called for regime change in Russia (“For god’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”).
We're not supposed even to possess chemical and biological weapons.
Russia has stated NATO intervention in Ukraine is a cause for war with NATO.
Making removal of Putin the NATO objective is the existential threat Putin also says is a cause for war.
At least in 1984 when Ronald Reagan quipped in a sound check, "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.", he was only joking.
The Reagan joke was deliberately leaked to embarrass him, which it did. But today's White House scrambles to correct all these Biden statements because none of them are jokes.
Joe Biden is the loose cannon on the ship of state.
And they used to call this guy a dunce.

Environmentalists sneered at Trump's promotion of natural gas, and Europe didn't want his Freedom Gas in 2019, now they're cutting deals for US LNG which Trump made the US the world's third top exporter of by 2019
EU strikes gas deal with the U.S. as it seeks to cut its reliance on Russia :
The White House said the EU said would work toward the goal of ensuring, until at least 2030, demand for approximately 50 billion cubic meters per year of extra U.S. LNG. This is “consistent with our shared net-zero goals,” it added.
U.S. liquefied natural gas export capacity will be world’s largest by end of 2022:
U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity has grown rapidly since the Lower 48 states first began exporting LNG in February 2016. In 2019, the United States became the world’s third-largest LNG exporter, behind Australia and Qatar. Once the new LNG liquefaction units, called trains, at Sabine Pass and Calcasieu Pass in Louisiana are placed in service by the end of 2022, the United States will have the world’s largest LNG export capacity.

Look who's talkin', lady
Mocked Putin as 'small, pale and almost reptilian' in final scathing op-ed...
Even in death Madeleine Albright, who later in her life had said she was shocked to learn that she was Jewish, remains half-bright.
Failure by US health authorities to count COVID-19 cases in March 2022 is causing the case fatality rate to soar
Case fatality rates in the US
Stupid beyond a reasonable doubt
Seattle Times LOL on new DA Alvin Bragg who obviously developed reasonable doubt because his own prosecutors suddenly went for lesser charges:
