GDP..

 

The latest estimate for the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the third quarter of 2025 was an annual growth rate of 4.3%. This was the initial estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on December 23, 2025, and it exceeded economists' forecasts of around 3.3%    

The acceleration in real GDP primarily reflected increases in consumer spending, exports, and government spending. Consumer spending grew at an annual rate of 3.5% in the third quarter, up from 2.5% in the prior quarter                                                      

 The 4.3% growth rate in the third quarter was an acceleration from the 3.8% growth rate recorded in the second quarter of 2025. It marked the strongest growth rate in two years.

Tail-wind.

The federal budget gap narrowed more sharply than forecasters anticipated in November, offering a rare piece of good news in a fiscal landscape still dominated by red ink. 

The monthly shortfall came in lower than a year earlier, signaling that revenue growth and shifting payment schedules are starting to bend the curve, even as long term pressures from interest costs and entitlement programs remain firmly in place.

 Deficits are not on autopilot, even in an era of high debt and aging demographics. Policy choices, the timing of outlays, and the strength of the broader economy all shape the monthly numbers, and November’s results show how quickly the trajectory can change when those forces briefly align.

The headline figure that grabbed attention was the federal government’s November budget gap of $173 billion, a level that undershot many private expectations. It is still a very large monthly shortfall, but in the context of recent years, a smaller than expected deficit counts as a modest fiscal tailwind rather than a fresh warning siren.

TSA..

 

Crossing a border.

Any time you visiting another country with a stop over somewhere, you are required to answer all their questions truthfully.
Each country's border is focusing on certain issues. How much money do you have, proof that it's your money. Your travel ticket, when did you buy it, who paid for it. If someone else, who? why? They need logical answer they will accept.

Some food are not allowed. If you didn't claim it on the paper, they can charge you a penalty over  $4k    

Who gave you something and why? Unacceptable to them and their investigation continue and you going nowhere.
 If you have medicine, who's name, prescription and how much of it.
They are allowed to confiscate any suspension item and you can be prosecuted. 

They have many equipment to test, drugs, food, etc. 

You don't have that much rights at this point.  Just a thought.

Coal..

President Biden"s exact quote from the interaction with 24-year-old activist Rebecca Beaulieu was: "Kiddo. I want you to just take a look. You don't have to agree. But I want you to look in my eyes. I guarantee you. I guarantee you we're going to end fossil fuel".    

Now with the need for more energy as a result of the AI, a new era of energy needs.

Just a thought.
