The GOP presidential nominee campaign just went from the sublime to the utterly ridiculous. In what appeared to a prepared remark, Ted Cruz just explained to holiday-weekend-crowd of reporters that he "has no desire to copulate with Donald Trump."

The Slow, Inevitable Collapse Of The Two-Party System
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2016 - 22:00 Regardless of how Trump and Sanders fare in their respective conventions, they could still operate a serious race for the White House.

Thanks Obamacare: This Is What Americans Spent Most Money On In 2015
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2016 - 20:46 We have been covering the consumption tax, pardon, endless spending black hole that is Obamacare for over a year, so we doubt it will come as a surprise to anyone that in 2015 healthcare was the second biggest use of US consumer funds, soaking up a record $1.9 trillion in real dollars, and more importantly for US economic "growth", the single biggest source of incremental spending by nearly a factor of two.

America's Top Rogue Mercenary - Blackwater's Erik Prince Is Under Federal Investigation
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2016 - 20:00 "...the inquiry was abandoned after Blackwater’s top manager there issued a threat: “that he could kill” the government’s chief investigator and “no one could or would do anything about it as we were in Iraq," according to department reports. There’s only one way to stop a guy like this - lock him up. For once, do your job Department of Justice.
The Dirty Dozen - Meet The Republicans That Will Vote For Hillary
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2016 - 19:30 Members of the GOP foreign policy establishment are open to supporting Hillary Clinton for president if that’s what it takes to prevent Donald Trump from becoming commander in chief. As The Hill reports, a number of prominent Republicans who signed a scathing open letter denouncing Trump said they aren’t wavering from their opposition to him..."Donald Trump is not a Republican. ... He is a caricature of classless wealth. ... He is a caricature of the ugly American... I’ll never support Trump, period. If the only choices I’m offered is between Hillary and Trump, I’ll go for Hillary,”
The "Restaurant Recovery" Is Over: Casual Dining Sales Tumble For Fourth Straight Month
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2016 - 18:58 The latest channel checks show that same store sales trends at America's casual dining restaurants - those which cater to the vast majority of the US middle class - have suffered a fourth consecutive month of declines, something not observed since the first financial crisis, sliding a whopping 3% in March.
New Eye-Opening Documentary Completely Exposes Barbaric Saudi Regime
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2016 - 18:30 “The kingdom of Saudi Arabia utterly rejects the partisan nature and sensationalist tone of this documentary which sets out to portray the country in a negative and unbalanced light. The Kingdom’s legal system is based on the due process of Islamic Sharia Law. The Kingdom is at the forefront of international efforts to combat terrorism and will pursue anyone who supports and funds terrorist activities. To suggest otherwise is a slur."
Foreigners Dumped More Japanese Stocks This Week Than Ever Before
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2016 - 18:00 USDJPY just had its best week in 2 months, funding bullish momentum and carry trades around the world in the midst of dismal economic data everywhere and tumbling earnings expectations. This "bullish" Yen strength, however, amid China's biggest weekly devaluation in almost 3 months, was ironically driven by drastic investment outflows - record sales of Japanese stocks by foreigners (sell JPY), and record purchases of foreign bonds by Japanese investors (sell JPY). Sooner, rather than later, it is obvious that the investment outflows will dominate the carry trades (see Thursday and Friday) and Kuroda and Abe will have a major problem.

Deutsche Bank's Dire Warning On Global Trade: "The Currency War Is Futile"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2016 - 17:01 "There is a concern that this competitive devaluations channel (the first link) may have broken down (to a large extent) because of the collapse in global trade. Global growth today is generating much less trade growth than in the past (chart below). As a result, currency adjustment is not enough to spur growth significantly because global trade is increasingly less important to the overall makeup of GDP. This raises the possibility that the currency war is largely futile."
Is ISIS Faithful To Islam?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2016 - 16:00 “We are not at war with Islam,” said John Kasich after the Brussels massacre, “We’re at war with radical Islam.” Kasich’s point raises a question: Does the Islamic faith in any way sanction or condone what those suicide bombers did?

In a time when radiation exposure from a number of sources, including
air travel, nuclear power, and former testing grounds seems unavoidable,
any news of radio-protective substance is good news. Fortunately, emerging research is indicating that melanin in fungi, which is also the pigment responsible for skin color in humans, may not only enable some fungi to survive ionizing radiation, but also to feed off of it.
An early report of this possibility came from Russia in 2001 on the discovery of a melanin-rich species of fungi seeming to thrive within the walls of the Chernobyl meltdown reactor site. Three years later, the same observation was made for the surrounding soils. [1]

Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) backed away from arguing that the federal
government should not enforce the nation’s immigration laws, instead
calling illegal immigrant children “refugees” who are “not getting the
due process that is afforded to them under our laws.”
Sanchez, the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, made the statement after CNSNews.com asked her: “If deporting illegal immigrants is wrong, what kind of federal immigration laws should be observed?” following a press briefing Wednesday on Capitol Hill. “We are not arguing against enforcing immigration law. We are arguing that this is a refugee issue and that children are not getting proper representation and therefore they are not getting the due process that is afforded to them under our laws,” Sanchez replied.
“Understand, we are not saying that our government should not enforce our immigration laws. We are saying that they effectively are not receiving the due process that they are entitled to.”

This morning’s Durables Goods report underscored just how moribund economic growth in the US remains.
Additionally we learn that US business investment remains lackluster at best. While Central Banks are spiking the punch bowl, it appears the party goers are not imbibing.
Look at the yield curve as reflected by the spread between the Ten Year Treasury and the Two Year Treasury yields. It is going NOWHERE.

Distress ratio spikes to Financial Crisis level.
Banks have a few, let’s say, issues, among them: a source of big-fat investment banking fees is collapsing before their very eyes.
S&P Capital IQ reported today that there was an improvement in the “distress ratio” of junk bonds, after nearly a year of brutal deterioration that had pushed it beyond where it had been right after Lehman’s bankruptcy. The recent surge in oil prices seems to have lifted all boats for a brief period. But not “leveraged loans.” Their distress ratio spiked to the highest levels since the Financial Crisis!

Collectively speaking, there are many of us who have been preparing for emergencies and have read our fair share of prepper fiction and watched enough apocalyptic thrillers to know that the higher the population density, the more dangerous it can be in a disaster. As well, when resources like food and fuel have to be transported from outside the city limits, then your survivability rate lessens. So what about those who have to live in the city? Should they just stop prepping all together? Would they stand a fighting chance at surviving?
According to the last census, 80.7 percent of the U.S. population lives in urban areas. In fact, many choose to live the higher populated areas because of better paying jobs and better school systems, so the probability of a shtf event happening while you are in the city is likely.

from Paul Craig Roberts:
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, who served as an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy in the Reagan administration, shares his view that there is a real likelihood of a nuclear war breaking out. Below are the main points covered in this radio programme.
“Firstly there is the Wolfowitz doctrine, which basically makes it clear that the United States should prevent the rise of any state that could present sufficient power to threaten American unilateral action. Russia has risen and has displayed such power. This is the reason for the constant demonisation of Russia’s leader. We have the number one candidate for the democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton, who now compares the President of Russia with Hitler. So what has happened is that every American president during my lifetime, especially Nixon and Reagan, worked to create trust between the two major nuclear powers. But beginning with the Clinton regime, the trust that had been achieved was progressively destroyed.”

Some
are calling it an intentional act of environmental sabotage for
monetary gain: The Colorado Gold King mine disaster from last summer
that left hundreds of miles of the Animas River tainted with heavy metals, such as lead and arsenic, and other toxins.
New reports suggest that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) knew
full well what it was doing when it unplugged the dam, and that it did
so in a backhanded attempt at getting more federal funding for
remediation efforts.
Thousands of people, including those living on Native American Indian reservations throughout the American Southwest, have suffered immensely as a result of the spill, which sent more than 3 million gallons of putrid waste down this sacred waterway that hydrates tens of thousands of people. Besides polluting the natural environment, various industries and tourism were brought to a halt as this once-pristine river was quickly turned into a reddish-brown disaster.

Counter-terrorism officials are warning that yesterday’s attack in Brussels was probably just the tip of the iceberg, as European officials say their intelligence suggests that ISIS has infiltrated the European Union with some 400 ISIS fighters.
The Islamic State group is suspected of infiltrating Europe through the Syrian refugee programs that has seen tens of thousands of military age Muslim males streaming across borders throughout the EU, and even making their way into the United States. Before being killed in a police raid, the ringleader of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks claimed he had entered Europe in a multinational group of 90 fighters, who scattered “more or less everywhere.”
