  The Two Months: A Viral Trade Deficit Claim, Checked

  Aug 16, 20266 minS0

  A post says the US trade deficit went from $136 billion to $29 billion under Trump. Both figures are real monthly readings. March 2025 was a record because importers front-ran tariffs; October 2025 was the lowest since 2009 because non-monetary gold was about 90 per cent of that month's rise in exports. The year they belong to closed at $901.5 billion against $903.5 billion — and the goods deficit rose to $1,240.9 billion. This episode also carries the strongest fact for the other side, which is missing from the post and from the fact-check we were commissioned from.

  The Late Deciders: A 29-Point Lead and a Half-Point Loss

  Aug 15, 20267 minS0

  A poll put Francesca Hong 29 points ahead in Wisconsin's Democratic primary for governor. She lost by half a point. G. Elliott Morris's reanalysis of the raw data explains most of it — an electorate modelled far too young, late movement, non-response bias. This episode credits his work and then covers what it was not trying to cover: a third of voters undecided, three candidates gone from the ballot, and a late endorsement from the sitting governor.

  Russia built eight A-50U radar aircraft and has acknowledged losing three. This episode shows the subtraction, the two loss ledgers that disagree about which three, the July 2026 surge that put the entire flyable fleet in the air at once, and the destroyed testbed at Taganrog that ended the replacement programme.

  The Grade Swap: Why America Exports Oil and Imports Oil

  Aug 13, 20269 minS0

  The United States is the largest oil producer in history and still imports about six million barrels of crude a day. It is not a shortage and it is not politics — most American refineries were built to run heavy, high-sulfur crude, and the shale boom delivered the opposite. This file covers what the refineries were built for, the trade that results, and the eight figures from the source brief that did not survive a check against the primary sources — including a refinery-complexity statistic circulating as current since 1996.

  Aug 6, 20265 minS0

  A 25-part thread said Russia's war economy is breaking. We checked every claim against Bloomberg, Reuters, Meduza, Vyorstka, Anadolu and Sberbank's own research. Most of it holds. Four claims diverge, and one is simply wrong. The full file: https://numbersfile.northdenvernews.com/
