After all of the corruption that Ukraine has been caught in,

I wouldn't give them a damn dime!!

Denmark plans to scale back its military assistance to Ukraine next year, and the amount cut is being widely reported as a huge amount - up to almost half of what's it's been since 2022.

According to Danish Broadcasting Corporation, the tiny northern European country has long stood out for its exceptionally high contributions that it made earlier in the conflict, but now the Danish government wants other countries should shoulder more of the burden.

California Agency Approves Water Management Plan Increasing Output

 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/california-agency-approves-water-management-plan-increasing-output

Oh good at least somebody is looking out for the food supply!!

Because California sure isn't

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has approved a revised plan for managing California’s Central Valley Project (CVP), with the goal of sending more water to farmers in the state

The revised operation, called Action 5, aligns with directives from Executive Order 14181, signed on Jan. 24 by President Donald Trump, which orders federal agencies to maximize water output from the CVP while complying with legal standards.

“With the signing of this Record of Decision, we are delivering on the promise of Executive Order 14181 to strengthen California’s water resilience,” Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said in a statement on Thursday.

Burgum also said the updated operations plan employs the state-of-the-art science to increase water deliveries while safeguarding the environment.

Assistant Secretary for Water and Science Andrea Travnicek said that Action 5 represents a forward-looking approach to water management that balances the needs of the state’s communities, agriculture, and ecosystems.

“By refining real-time governance and operational flexibility, we are ensuring that every drop of water is managed with precision, accountability, and purpose,” she said.

The change could increase yearly CVP distributions by 130,000 to 180,000 acre-feet, with the State Water Project gaining 120,000 to 220,000 acre-feet, depending on weather and California’s implementation of Action 5.

The new strategy overrides the December 2024 framework and incorporates

Biden, Who Swore He Was Fit For Another Term, Butchers America's Name

 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-who-swore-he-was-fit-another-term-butchers-americas-name

Because that's not scary!!

Former President Joe Biden resurfaced on Friday and stumbled through his remarks once again, months after insisting he was fit to serve another term and not too long after announcing he had stage IV cancer. 

The 83-year-old former president mangled the country’s name as “Amerigotit” while delivering a 20-minute speech at a conference hosted by the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute. 

The gaffe occurred specifically as Biden claimed that the Democrats could emerge from the “many crises caused by this administration.” 

He said, “But we just have to get up. As long as we keep the faith, some hope and get back up and remember who in the hell we are — we are the United States of Amerigotit.”  

“That’s who we are. We are the US,” he added.

'Twas The Night Before Fed Day...

 https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/twas-night-fed-day

" 'Twas the night before Fed Day, when all through the bourse,

Rate-cutters were stirring, ready to open the purse.
The voters in Eccles were afraid of a stock bear,
But all had high hopes that the Santa Rally soon would be there."

Maybe it was being in Europe, with a particular shout-out to Zurich for putting me in a holiday mood. Academy also has our holiday party this week, which I’m looking forward to, though I’m not sure why I thought guest hosting Bloomberg TV at 6am the next morning would be a good idea. Or maybe it was the daunting task of needing to write about something that I didn’t feel passionate writing about (knowing that it would be about one out of a thousand Fed write-ups hitting your inbox in the next 48 hours didn’t help the motivation level). Or maybe, I was just jet lagged, lazy, and felt that we covered some of the groundwork in last weekend’s The Santa Rally Recipe.

If I was to do a serious report, in as few words as possible, I’d go with:

• Market is pricing in a 95% probability – the Fed won’t disappoint.

• Powell is as close to being a lame duck chair as we’ve seen, so nothing he says will carry much weight into the new year.

• I think the market is still underpricing:

  • The level of coordination we will see between the Treasury, the Fed, and the admin.

  • The “out of the box” thinking we will see in terms of tools implemented and even the shaping of the Fed to try to achieve my interpretation of the stated goal of 3-3-3 (3% growth, 3% front-end yields, and 10-year bond yields with a 3 handle).

Zelenskyy Says He Had 'Long And Substantive' Phone Call With Witkoff, Kushner As Peace Talks Continue

 https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/zelenskyy-says-he-had-long-and-substantive-phone-call-witkoff-kushner-peace-talks

The Epoch Times' T.J.Muscaro reports that Zelenskyy also thanked Trump for his “intensive approach to negotiations,” and said he was now awaiting the return of Umerov and Hnatov to Ukraine, at which time he would receive their report.

“Not everything can be discussed over the phone, so we need to work closely with our teams on ideas and proposals,” he said.

”Our approach is that everything must be workable—every crucial measure for peace, security, and reconstruction.”

The call follows multiple days of in-person talks between Umerov and Hnatov with Witkoff and Kushner, and six meetings between the two negotiating parties in two weeks.

Those talks were ongoing during
