Election = Money

 The fundraising activities of political parties is usually not very transparent in Europe or the UK, but one place where it is transparent is the United States.   The state of the race for the 2024 election is terrible for several local republican associations.  Many are close to bankruptcy, in some places (Colorado) its so bad that the Republicans may well have to move out of their Dever headquarters (for the state party).   The RNC at the national level is sucking in all the cash, and Donald Trump and his Save America PAC is sucking up the rest.   The vast majority of the money "raised" for Save America PAC is used to pay for Donald Trump's massive legal bills -- these lawyers that have sold their souls have done it for serious coins.

The impact is easy to predict unless things change and the likelihood of that happening is near zero.   in 2007 when Barack Obama took control of the Democratic party he too got all the money.  It worked out great for him, but at the local level, it was a disaster for the Democrats.   We could easily see a repetition here in 2024 but this time it would be the Republicans.   

Now not every woman in America is a single-issue voters, and many will vote for the GOP because, still the issue before the voters are:

  • National ban on abortion
  • National ban on abortion pills
  • Registration of all women who are pregnant
  • Massive control over contraceptive pills (state objective is to make it illegal)
today in the USA, 74% of Americans are for the right to abortion before 15 weeks (which by the way is 97% of all abortions)
the leader of the GOP is a liar accused of stealing state secrets possibly to enrich himself and has almost certainly slept with women out of wedlock (The stormy Daniels salacious evidence seems to confirm this).  How "Christian" women support such a man and a party will require a lot of publicity.   These things can only be done by the parties themselves, PACs cannot do such a thing, and it is illegal for them to do so.   

It also shows another massive problem for the GOP, failure to raise money.   The party is broke in an election year they knew was coming four years ago!   This indicates that the financial support for the GOP has fallen apart.   Because of the US fundraising system for political parties, the data is available on a monthly basis, and the data is terrible for the GOP, over the past year the money has dried up entirely.   This is not entirely surprising considering that big business and the neocon are no longer welcomed.   Big oil considered Trump's $1 billion request, but if the Democrats win, they will seek 10x that amount in green credits.   A new administration could force energy companies to clean up their environmental messes.  

For the GOP is playing with fire in the person of Donal Trump and they just don't know what to do about the man.  Donald Trump is an albatross around the GOP's neck!  They know it too!

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...
