Bessent Saw the Capital Investment Boom Coming a Year Ago Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spent much of last year predicting that the Trump administration’s policies would set off a boom in capital spending. The boom would begin with artificial intelligence and a handful of enormous factory projects, spread across the industrial economy, and eventually produce jobs. The latest manufacturing data look remarkably like the economy Bessent described. The Federal Reserve reported Tuesday that production of business equipment rose 0.8 percent in July and 6.6 percent from a year earlier. It grew at a 12.7 percent annual rate in the second…

Monday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said President Donald Trump’s odd relationships with dictators endanger the United States national security. Cooper asked, “What message do you think it sends U.S. allies that the president reduced the military exercises with South Korea based on, he says his, quote very good relationship with Kim Jong-un?” Kelly said, “Well, Kim Jong-un is certainly getting what he wanted. He doesn’t like the U.S. military on the Korean Peninsula.” He continued, “The Russians are also transferring military technology to the North Koreans. So, not only on our side, we will become…

House Oversight Chair James Comer on Tuesday wrote a blistering letter to the lawyers of Leon Black threatening to hold the billionaire Apollo Global Management founder in contempt of Congress. The threat comes after Black, who paid the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein tens of millions of dollars, refused to answer the panel’s questions about possible nondisclosure agreements he had signed with women tied to Epstein. Black has since produced one NDA after being subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee. Comer, in his Tuesday letter, said that was insufficient and demanded more of the documents while floating the contempt vote…

Marxist former President of Colombia Gustavo Petro this week suggested that Swedish DJ Avicii was allegedly killed as part of a conspiracy to protect Jeffrey Epstein. “This video of the Swedish composer Avicii possibly cost him his life,” Petro wrote in a Twitter post. “He was on Epstein’s island and decided to file a worldwide complaint, but he turned up dead before presenting it.” Petro accompanied his message with a YouTube link of a video of Avicii’s 2015 single “For a Better Day” featuring English and Spanish subtitles written by Peru-based translator Bruno Traductor. The song’s video tackles themes of child slavery…

Chinese state-run shipping companies COSCO and CMES have reportedly stopped trying to send their oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, which is menaced by Iranian terrorism, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which is under threat from Iran’s Houthi terrorist proxies in Yemen.

According to these sources, CMES was the first to throw in the towel on the Strait of Hormuz in late July, but the decision has not been…

The Supreme Court denied a request from President Donald Trump to reconsider his appeal of writer E. Jean Carroll’s $5 million lawsuit on Monday. The order on Monday comes after the Supreme Court declined to take up the president’s argument in June, per the Hill: The new, one-sentence order denies it again without comment or any noted dissents. Rehearings at the Supreme Court are virtually never allowed. Court rules prescribe that they’re only permitted when substantial, “intervening circumstances” take place. The Supreme Court in June declined to take Trump’s appeal regarding Carroll’s first defamation lawsuit against him, for which she…
