Zverev beat Shelton to win the US Open — the 23-year drought continues. Trump said the U.S. might "keep the oil" in Iran. Sweden's election is deadlocked 176-173 with votes still counting. The Fed meets tomorrow. Gas hit $4.31.
Welcome back. A weekend that delivered more than expected. Alexander Zverev won his second Grand Slam of 2026, beating Ben Shelton in four sets — keeping American men without a major title since 2003. Trump floated the idea of keeping Iranian oil as war spoils. Sweden's snap election produced a photo finish: left bloc leads 176-173 with postal votes still uncounted. Gulf state leaders are trying to restore oil flow through Hormuz. And the Fed meets tomorrow and Wednesday — the hike is 90% priced in. Let's get into it.

In 1973, a radical White House policy triggered a historic gold rush. Trump's rumored new Executive Order is about to do it again.
When the government severed the dollar's tie to gold in the 1970s, everyday Americans watched their purchasing power collapse. But a small group of prepared investors made generational wealth as gold prices skyrocketed.
Fast forward to today. With Jerome Powell out and Trump allegedly preparing a controversial "Financial Executive Order" to bypass the Fed and pump the market, the stage is set for an even bigger dollar shock.
Top analysts warn inflation will explode. But here is the good news: you don't need to hoard expensive physical bullion to shield yourself.
There is a little-known market loophole that essentially lets you capitalize on this crisis like you are "buying gold at 1973 prices" right before the massive surge.

Sweden's election produced a photo finish — left bloc leads 176-173 with postal votes still uncounted, final result not until Wednesday.
Sweden went to the polls Sunday in its most consequential election in a generation — the first since the country joined NATO in March 2024, and the first test of whether the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats could move from outside support to formal government participation for the first time. The result is a near-dead heat. The centre-left opposition bloc headed by former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats is projected to win 176 seats in the 349-member Riksdag, against 173 for Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's right-wing alliance — a margin of just three seats, with postal and overseas ballots still being counted.
The SVT exit poll taken Sunday night initially gave the left bloc a projected 183 seats — a comfortable lead. But as the Election Authority's actual count came in through the night, that lead shrank dramatically to the current 176-173 split. The Sweden Democrats slipped from 20.5% in 2022 to approximately 17-17.7%, a notable decline that contributed to the right bloc's underperformance relative to pre-election polls.

You cannot imagine how nervous I am right now. It feels like my life's work is hanging in the balance.

Did you know that the human gut can store up to 10-15 pounds of stuck poop?
I was surprised to learn this myself.
It turns out… Chronic constipation is what killed Elvis, according to his personal doctor, Dr. George Nichopoulos.
The autopsy showed that his colon was full of more than 30 pounds of feces.
Chronic constipation enlarges your colon, and Elvis's colon was twice as long and twice as wide as a normal colon.
And even worse, constipation can lead to all kinds of seemingly unrelated problems like fatigue, brain fog, skin irritations, bad breath, headaches and joint pain…
Thankfully there's something you can do at home to help flush it out.
Try this quick and easy test…
Stand in front of a mirror, turn sideways, and look at your belly.
If your belly sticks out or spills over your pant line, you might want to try something we call 'the instant fat flush'...
It takes just 7 seconds each morning to do and you can flush out 10 to 15 pounds of backed-up fecal weight…
Shrinking a big tummy in just 24 hours.
>> Release 10 to 15 pounds of backed-up fecal weight using this 7-second solution
For the last 2 years, my team and I have been fortunate to work with Dr. Gina Sam, a Top Gut Health Doctor in New York City.
Dr. Gina Sam is an international expert in gastrointestinal motility, which is a fancy way of saying 'pooping speed'.
And she discovered a breakthrough that is allowing men and women all over the world to "flush out" and achieve that trim waistline.
Finally it's possible to restore the digestive process, improving poop speed, and shrinking a big tummy in just 24 hours.
>> This 7-second solution is like a pressure wash for your insides
Dr. Gina Sam's list of celebrities and wealthy clients, raves about her instant slimming solution.
I have tried everything and nothing ever worked for my constipation until now, so I'm a faithful user myself. I wouldn't travel or go anywhere without it.
So far thousands of men and women have tried it with undeniable results. There's absolutely nothing like this and that's why so many have called it a "life saver" or "digestion miracle".
Check it out here and don't forget to let me know how well it works for you!

Zverev beat Shelton to win the US Open — and the American men's drought at the majors stretches to 23 years.
Alexander Zverev won his second Grand Slam title of 2026 Sunday afternoon, defeating Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 at Arthur Ashe Stadium in front of a sold-out crowd that spent three and a half hours willing an American upset that didn't come. Zverev was so locked in that when he closed out the match, he didn't even hear the chair umpire's announcement. "In that moment I was in the zone, a lot," he said. "I didn't hear noise at all. I was in this kind of tunnel where I just didn't hear anything." He accepted the Tiffany & Co. trophy from Jimmy Connors and $5.5 million in prize money.
Shelton won the third set 7-5, breaking Zverev's serve for the first time in 66 straight service games to keep the match alive. That set gave the crowd — and Shelton — a moment of genuine belief. It didn't last. Zverev was hit with a time violation in the fourth set, protested it, and then went up 3-1 and closed it out. For Shelton, the consolation is significant: at 23 years old, he became the first Black American man in a US Open final since Arthur Ashe in 1972. The drought continues. But the contender is established.
"
You're one of the very best players in the world, maybe the best player in the world this year.

📋 In Brief
Fed decision Wednesday 2pm ET.
The FOMC begins tomorrow and announces Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET. A 25-basis-point hike to 3.75%-4.0% is priced at 90%. The dot plot and Warsh's press conference language about November will move markets more than the hike itself. Futures currently price a November hike at about 55%.
Sweden final result Wednesday.
Postal and overseas ballots are still being counted. The current 176-173 split could flip with the remaining votes. The 2022 Swedish election saw exit polls predict a left victory that ultimately went to the right. Final result expected Wednesday.
Indonesia ferry disaster.
A passenger ferry overturned off the coast of Indonesia over the weekend, with scores of people reported missing. Indonesian search and rescue teams have been deployed. Full details and casualty figures were still emerging as of Monday morning.
