The New Censorship Isn't Coming From The Left - It's Coming From Everyone

The New Censorship Isn't Coming From The Left - It's Coming From Everyone Authored by George P. Brooks via American Thinker, One of the great ironies of American politics is that every movement swears it's against censorship - right up until it has enough power to do some censoring of its own. It's almost adorable. For years, conservatives rightly criticized Big Tech, universities, corporate America, and legacy media for suppressing dissenting viewpoints. We argued that free speech wasn't merely a constitutional protection; it was a moral principle. We insisted that bad ideas should be defeated in the marketplace of ideas rather than buried beneath bureaucratic decrees or algorithmic exile. I agreed then. I still do.

Commercial Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filings Decrease Annually, But...

Commercial Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filings Decrease Annually, But... Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times, There were 666 commercial Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings made in the United States in July, a 27 percent drop from a year ago, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI). Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows a business to reorganize its debts so it can continue operating and eventually become solvent. In addition to a decline in Chapter 11 filings, overall commercial bankruptcy filings declined in July, falling by 8 percent year over year, ABI said in an Aug. 6 statement. The decline in July's commercial filings followed improved economic conditions in June. The 12-month inflation rate declined in June from the previous month after surging for three consecutive months. According to a July 24 report from S&P Global, U.S. business activity growth accelerated to an eight-month high last month, with business confidence in the year-ahead outlook rising to an eight-month high as well. ABI clarified that although the number of Chapter 11 filings fell this year, more than 300 filings were made in connection with a large healthcare system's bankruptcy.

US SPR Falls Below 300 Million Operational Limit As Oil Drain Unexpectedly Surges To 6.1MM Barrels, Most In 2 Months

US SPR Falls Below 300 Million Operational Limit As Oil Drain Unexpectedly Surges To 6.1MM Barrels, Most In 2 Months As negotiations between the US and Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz go nowhere, oil prices continue to slide lower on some naive hope that a resolution to the conflict will magically emerge. Meanwhile, both commercial and strategic stocks continue to be drained at a historic pace, and one day virtually every tank bottom will be hit, sparking a historic surge in commodity prices as the market realizes that physical always wins the war with paper oil.  That day just got closer today when the US reported that crude oil stocks in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell below 300 million barrels for the first time since early 1983, as global inventories are under pressure due to the Iran war. The SPR fell by 6.1 million barrels to 298.7 million barrels last week, according to data released by the Department of Energy on Monday. The reserve is at its lowest level since January 1983. The 6.1 million drain was a big jump in the SPR's recent moderating trend which saw the previous wee
