Strange Bedfellows: MIke Johson

 It is very well known that the head of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson is a rabid evangelical Christian, he makes Mike Pence the ex-vice president look like a sinner.   To watch Mike Johnson repudiate all his beliefs by supporting Donald Trump, a three-times married cheater, is amazing.  I can only imagine the mental gymnastic and the absolute horror of Johnson having to support such a man.  

Moreover, to do so, when the evidence if plain for all to see, that Trump has broken important laws, after all if Congress thinks these laws are unimportant they can always change them....

This case has been delayed repeatedly since 2018 by Donald and his friends.   This week it all comes to ahead, the prosecution called its last witness, and the defence is calling no one (especially not Donald "I will stand before the jury" Trump).   The case was expected to take four weeks because Trump's team decided to deny everything (the prosecutor even had to call on Harper Collins to certify that Trump had written his own books -- Trump 's lawyer refused to certify that his books were written by him).

If Trump"s team had certified the obvious stuff the entire case would have been resolved in a few days.  

Anyway, there we are Mike Johnson forced to support Trump, I hope it destroyed him, the hypocrite.

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...
