Trump and the GOP

 So far not a single presidential hopeful opponent has made a single disparaging comment against Trump and his dealing with secret and top secret documents.  The reason is simple, they have nothing to gain and everything to lose.


1.  This is not their fight, there is no reason for them to say anything about the case, or even comment on how the justice department has been behaving towards Trump.  If I were a political strategist for DeSanti I will tell him to shut up not answer question and not be cornered.  Trump has done a lot of damage to his own cause because of his inability to shut up.  Case and point losing the civic case against A.J Carroll.  The man is his own worse enemy.

2. Wait until Trump is too weak or his reputation too damaged the real risk is that Trump will launch a third party to fight against the GOP.  Right now Trump has money, still has some support and could still win this case, although the odds are against him.  In addition, Trump is burning through attorneys at an unprecedented rate, sure there are a lot of lawyers in the US, still he has destroyed so many careers that the new one are no longer the better lawyers -- he will soon hire the ambulance chaser.

3.  The GOP is convince that if they let all these lawsuits go ahead, that it will reduce their own nefarious activities, January 6th and all that.  So far only DeSanti has pushed the pardon idea, the objective of doing this is to ensure that those being prosecuted shut up.  Already the GOP has been caught with the false electors in Georgia -- where the GOP represented the false electors, and failed to communicated to their clients the offer of pardon for information.  

4. There is still plenty of time until 2024, there is no need to antagonize low information  voters who are probably unaware that Trump is being indicted.  There is no value added in the current cycle for those seeking the presidency to say anything about Trump.  Time is their friend.

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....

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

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...
