Trump in court

 Saw images of Trump in court in NYC. He looked sad and dejected probably because they didn’t do either a peep walk or take a mug shot (although I hear the trump t-shirt are on sale for 47$ with a made up mug shot).  Perp walk only necessary when the accused is arrested and trump came voluntarily to the court room. And everyone on planet earth knows what Trump looks like! 

Of the 34 counts about 22 relate to the same “crime”. Which are the 11 invoices from Cohen and 11 book entry so it means there are 14 accusations. 

The worse relate the to the scheme Trump, Cohen, National enquire to find the stories about Trump’s mistresses (and a doorman) buy the stories then impose gag order and kill the stories.  Trump then used campaign money (apparently) to repay cohen and the National enquirer of business.  It also appears that it’s Cohen and National Enquirer that went looking for the stories.  

All this is really small potatoes Trump’s real problem are the Jan 6 investigation and the vote tampering attempt in Georgia (not to mention the false electors list that were produced by team Trump after the election.

Tuesday evening Trump using inflammatory language agains the Judge in the case, his name wife and his daughter… he probably wants the judge to impose a gage order!  

Interesting a little bit, but not fascinating

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

Trump and Venezuela...

The US now owns Venezuela…and not in a good way.  America is not known for its nation building skills, and yet it now owns the disaster that is Venezuela.   Starvation and exodus are the natural progression.   In addition it will become a haven for narco-terrorists, more so than it already was. I am sure that Trump and his friends really thought that little attack very well…I guess that he will now attack Iran now.

Demographics

 I am preparing a kind of family tree for our children so that they know where they came from.  In my family I am the only survivor, although my brother and sister died recently they were both in their seventies (a story I told already).    It was a fun process, but it provided more than that.  First, I married relatively young I was 26 when I married and nearly 30 when our first child was born.   I was looking at my ancestors.  On my mother's side, she had 6 siblings, Four died before the age of 30, two in war, and two from illnesses.  Only she and a single sister survived.   The two boys had a child each but they died in WWII, and the other sister died as an infant.   what is interesting is that every one of my mother's siblings had children in their early 20s.   I know that my mom was hardly 20 when my brother was born.    What is remarkable is that among our friends, we are the only ones to have fou...
