Royal Family (revised)

As a royalist watching the "show" now on display is somewhat disquieting.  Two things are evident, the King is sicker than Buckingham Palace has led the public to believe, and Princess Kate's hospital stay was also more serious than anyone suggested.  In both cases, I think it is justified, that the real health of the King or the wife of the heir is none of our business.  It is more than enough to know that they both are battling their own challenges.

The hatred for Harry and Megan continues unabated.  The source has to be the palace, if it wanted peace it would signal that it did.  The crown in the past would have beheaded for less, so excluding Harry and Megan is a reasonable position.  The press, well they just want to sell papers.

When Harry visited his father for all of 40 minutes, my guess is that he came over under false pretense.  It seems now that a weekend with his father at his Sandringham estate was dangled as an incentive, instead he got a 40-minute conversation, where apparently he and his father were constantly interrupted for one thing or the other.  Hence the disconnect that Harry found a last-minute hotel room.  

First, there is no going back for Harry and Megan.  This last visit was proof that the hatred remains, again in the distant past such treachery would have ended Harry in the Tower.  He travelled for more than 24 hours for a 40-minute conversation and understood that this was it.  there is no possible reconciliation with his father or his family.  They do not want it.  

Colouring the comments he made on Good Morning America, he was diplomatic, but it is now clear with the flurry of announcements from California that the couple knows there will never be any form of reconciliation.  Think about how they were kicked out of the house, which he and Megan renovated at great expense, and it still stands empty today.  As for their children, they may visit, but it's unlikely they are after all they will be considered "half-black" and their treatment in the UK tabloid will always be awful.  Who needs that?

In the end, the Harry and Megan episode will be a small footnote in the Firm.  Harry said it best in his memoir -- he was the spare, and once William had children, he held no value to the Royal family.  

Note:  On the 28th of February the High Court ruled against Harry & Megan having security while in the UK (despite them offering to pay for such security), the message is clear, if Harry returns to the UK he is at great risk of physical attack (there are always crazies out there).  In effect, the high court has banned Harry and Megan from visiting.  The message is -- STAY AWAY!

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, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
