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!

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Farm; Half year performance

 People appear to be genuinely curious. 2024 has been a record first half for the farm.  The addition of high tunnels has greatly impacted our revenues.   While we expected Q1 profits to be higher, it really was the second quarter that produced the goods.  The terrible weather has greatly impacted the production of high-end vegetables. Energy costs are now very stable and have become a fixed variable especially now that our bio digesters are fully dialled in.   Replacing some of our pre-dryer equipment was covered under warranty, and the new equipment is far better at dealing with gas moisture, and much better steel!   Our diesel costs are what they are! Our biologist and ecologist devised a new planting plan for our high tunnels that greatly reduced pests, especially slugs.   We have seen a 90% decline in sluggs this year, resulting in better yields.   It seems that several plants act as natural repelants and if planted c...

Britain, France and Egypt

 The voters realize now that the Conservative Praty desire to return to 19th-century dominance has driven its hatred of the EU.  The voters realize now that departure from the EU has accelerated Britain's decline and may soon make it irrelevant.  At best it will have to kiss American arses to maintain its standing.  For this, the conservatives were punished.  The decline of Britain was inevitable, competition from Frankfurt and Germany in Finance was bound to grow.  The core of Europe (aka Germany) is aging quickly Macron seems to be winning his bet, the left alliance that won the legislative elections will not remain united for long, since they disagree on about everything.   The Far right though it was about to assume power is once again relegated to the back of the bus.   It may draw its own conclusions, but not all of these are good for France.  The far-right has won nearly 1/3rd of the electorate, that is not something to be ig...
