U.S. FOOTS 50% OF UKRAINE'S MILITARY BILL WHILE EUROPE SCRAMBLES TO FILL GAP

U.S. has provided a whopping $69 billion in military aid to Ukraine since 2022, dwarfing Germany's $13.6B and UK's $10.8B contributions.

Trump's recent pause on military support has European leaders suddenly discovering their checkbooks.

EU Commission President von der Leyen called it a "watershed moment."

European nations would need to double their current $53.8B collective contribution to match what America has supplied. Meanwhile, Hungary sits out the solidarity party, refusing to sign the joint statement.

Today, one of the leading cable news hosts just asked the French justice minister about reopening penal colonies in French Guyane and New Caledonia. Today, as the USA announced a deal that would see El Salvador become a penal colony. Later that day, Trump, next to genocidaire Netanyahu, announced his plan to turn Gaza into a U.S. protectorate. Italy is sending its unwanted migrants to Albania. Russia is using shock troops from Siberia and North Korea and causing government crises all across the Caucasus. The U.K. had plans to send its migrants to Rwanda and paid good money to do so. Rwanda's Kagame is using Western money and arms to wage a genocidal war on Congo. The EAU are the ones fueling death in Sudan. The BJP is doing mass ethnic cleansings and massacres based on religious and ethnic criteria. To say nothing of the blight that is Israel.

This is fascism, yes, but it's also the resurgence of Victorian Era politics. Colonialism, "spheres of influence" geopolitics, protectionism and trade wars. This tells us this about our enemy: their politics were defeated at every single turn. This is not about the arc of the moral universe bending towards us, this is about the enemy being spectacularly weak and exposing itself to ruin. The past century is a record of those defeats. Yes, the enemy is resurgent, but it has learned nothing, and we have 150 years of learning accessible to us.

These are grim times. Yet the past victories of the oppressed peoples of the earth tell us it is not only possible to defeat our enemy, it is the safest bet you're ever going to make in this lifetime.

The Role of a Wealth Management Firm in Delivering Top Portfolio Management Services

Ever wondered why it seems that a few investors pass through market turmoil without flinching while most others are easily tossed about by it? Usually, the magic is in financial expertise on their side.

Why Professional Wealth Management Matters

Managing wealth is no longer just about picking stocks or bonds. Imagine the financial markets as a vast ocean – while amateur sailors might get by on a calm day, you'd want an experienced captain when storms hit. This is where a wealth management firm steps in, serving as your financial navigator through both smooth and choppy waters.

The Indian financial landscape has simply become much too complex. Investors have choices not only between cryptocurrency and sustainable investment but also amongst traditional market instruments. It's no longer simply about growing in wealth, but instead growing in doing so wisely.

What Sets Professional Wealth Managers Apart?

A wealth management company offers one key thing: experience. Where the individual investor may follow a few stocks, a professional wealth manager analyzes thousands of investment opportunities within multiple asset classes. They see areas of opportunity that others have passed over.

Devise the Strategy to Fit Your Needs

Top portfolio management firms are rather like a custom-made suit – they are tailored for a perfect fit. They don't just assemble a one-size-fits-all investment strategy, but rather build strategies tailored to the goals, be it funding education at a specific foreign college for a child or building a nest egg for retirement.

Getting Real Benefits in Action

Take, for example, a real case. When global uncertainties recently forced the markets downwards, many Do-It-Yourself investors panicked and sold at the lowest. On the other hand, clients of wealth management companies had strategies which helped them to:

Protect the capital during drawdowns

Capitalize on purchasing opportunities

Rebalance portfolios regardless of any market fluctuations

More Than Investment

Modern wealth management is not just about growing money, but also about protecting it. Think taxes, succession planning, and even philanthropy. A quality wealth management firm handles it all, much like a general contractor oversees every aspect of building your dream home.

Smart Tax Planning

The difference between good and great returns often lies in tax efficiency. Professional wealth managers know how to structure investments to minimize tax impact while staying fully compliant with Indian regulations.

Future-Proofing Your Wealth

Preserving money is just as important for high-net-worth individuals and family companies as creating it. These firms help structure assets to ensure smooth transitions between generations.

The Technology Edge

Today's top portfolio management services leverage cutting-edge tech tools for:

Live portfolio monitoring

Risk assessment

Market research

Performance measurement

However, unlike robo-advisors, they integrate the best of this technology with human insights and experience. It's the best of both worlds: data-driven decision-making and human wisdom.

Making the Right Decision

The decision to hire a wealth management firm is somewhat akin to choosing a business partner. Therefore, seek out:

Track record

Fee transparency

Effective communication

Good understanding of goals

Remember, the richest families have been working with professional wealth managers for generations. There's a reason for that – it works.

The Bottom Line

In a world where financial markets are constantly changing, professional advice is not only beneficial but also necessary. Whether you meet your financial objectives or not may depend on a wealth management company.

Professional portfolio management services provide the know-how needed to negotiate the complicated financial landscape of today, regardless of whether you are the first generation running your family business or looking after your family's money. Ultimately, effective money management involves making a number of wise choices over time, day in and day out, rather than just one.

Need to optimize your investment strategy? The right wealth management partner might be your next smart investment.

Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in a Fox News interview: ".. Elon was gonna cut a trillion dollars of waste, fraud & abuse .. We have almost 4 trillion dollars of entitlements, and no one's ever looked at it before. You know Social Security is wrong, you know Medicaid & Medicare are wrong"

WaPo: Trump proposals could drain Social Security in 6 years, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget

Julie Zauzmer Weil at WaPo:

A new report projects that the Social Security Trust Fund might run out of money within six years under a Donald Trump presidency, while Vice President Kamala Harris’s proposed policies would not meaningfully change the current trajectory.

Social Security faces a looming funding crisis in an aging country, with trustees most recently predicting that the retirement and disability program’s trust fund will become insolvent in 2035. Many of Trump’s campaign proposals would accelerate that timeline, potentially by years, said the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan group that opposes large federal deficits. In a report released Monday, the organization concluded that many of Trump’s proposed second-term agenda items all work in the same direction when it comes to the Social Security Trust Fund. The budget group did not produce a similar report on Harris’s policies because they would have a negligible effect measured only in weeks or months rather than years, said Marc Goldwein, CRFB’s senior policy director. Compared to prior presidential campaigns, Goldwein said, “I can’t think of anything that would be this order of magnitude” in its detrimental effect on Social Security’s bottom line compared to the policies Trump has proposed.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt dismissed the report in an email to The Washington Post: “The so-called experts at CRFB have been consistently wrong throughout the years.” She said Trump’s energy and trade policies would improve the economy to “put Social Security on a stronger footing for generations to come,” and alleged that Harris would damage the program by allowing millions of undocumented immigrants to stay in the country. The campaign promise made by Trump that would most directly affect Social Security collections is his promise that no Social Security recipients should have to pay federal income taxes on their benefits. Under current law, 40 percent of beneficiaries pay taxes on some portion of their Social Security. The tax they pay on their benefits goes directly back to the trust fund, and getting rid of it could cost the program almost $1 trillion over 10 years, the report forecast. Other Trump policies might have indirect effects. Trump’s pledge to deport millions of undocumented workers could cost the trust fund hundreds of millions of dollars, the CRFB said. Many undocumented immigrants have payroll taxes taken out of their paychecks for the Social Security Trust Fund, but never become eligible to claim benefits, so they are a net positive for the program.

Trump’s proposed high tariffs on all imports could affect the economy in several ways detrimental to Social Security’s financial health, CRFB said. If the tariffs drive high inflation as projected by Wall Street experts, Social Security will have to pay out more in benefits because of automatic cost-of-living adjustments based on inflation. The report also pointed to Trump’s promises not to tax tip income or income earned during overtime hours. Trump has not clarified whether he means to exempt them from federal income taxes only or also from taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare. If he means the latter, that could cost Social Security $150 million to more than $1 trillion over a decade, with the likely outcome on the very high end of that range, CRFB said.

[...] Both Trump and Harris have said they aim to protect Social Security to prevent cuts if elected, but neither candidate has offered a comprehensive plan to plug the current projected gap. Stabilizing the trust fund will require either raising more money or spending less money in some way, or a combination of the two.

Donald Trump’s proposals to Social Security, despite claiming to be a champion of Social Security, could hasten the depletion of Social Security funding, per a report from Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Thinking about Raised in Amphibia AU and how the girls get married when they're still teenagers, and I get that it might be controversial but I actually really like the fantasy vibes that comes with characters getting married so young, it helps to make the world feel more old timesey and medieval and culturally alien, like, marrying at 16 sounds insane to most people nowadays but in fantasy frog land Sprig and Maddie were engaged by their guardians at age 10 so I think it not only makes perfect sense for Marcy and Sasha to get engaged for political reasons at 14 and then get married at 16 - dragging Anne along with them - but also... something something kids forced to grow up to fast, something something fantasy politics, and these three characters having such a different way of seeing love and relationships than we do in the real world, that when Anne goes back to Earth and meets her biological parents for the first time, she has no idea how to tell them that, at age 23, she's been married for 7 years and has two wives.
