1) Why are the Markets so obsessed with the Federal Reserve? Why do some investors believe the"war on inflation" has been won? Is it due to the falling commodity prices 23%? "hope" for a pause is not a strategy in our opinion. It appears investors are "wishing for a Pivot" trying to talk rate hikes down and throwing out bad scenarios to the media that is needed to curb inflation. Talking their book. Former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Roger Ferguson says the "hope" is premature. 1A) The money supply grew rapidly in Q-2 of 2020 and beyond up to 66%. Now the money supply is falling 4%. With rate hikes, is this enough to slow Inflation? Can the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes work without a "hard landing"? 2) Treasury Secretary Yellin - "U.S. Economy doing well.

Administration feels the effects of self inflicted wounds from terrible energy policies 2) Jamie Dimon CEO of JP Morgan sees 2023 Recession as do many others 3) Administration proposes changes to worker classifications for gig workers changing from Contract employment to employees. This is INSANE and follow CA law. Lyft, Uber and Doordash stock pummeled. 4) Social Security payments projected to rise 8.7% in 2023 5) Tim Ryan goes berserk in debate with JD Vance in Ohio debate. He voted with Biden 100% and yet he claims he is a moderate. He is NOT. 6) Tulsi Gabbard leaves the Democratic Party. Better late than never.

Russia launches rockets into Kiev and other target cities in major escalation. 6) State of Florida finds 19 cases of Voter Fraud. 15 of the 19 were black.
