Revenge against political oponents; Trump world

 Trump once again proved how unfit for office he is.   He has said many times mostly in private to big donors that he would go after his opponents; that means political, judicial or financial.  The gloves are off, and now he has said it on American National television.   

Trump has yet to be elected but it is evident that his heroes are Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and any other two-bit despot you can think of naming here!   America has been given a stark choice for once, voting for the Republicans is a vote for a one-party state equal to what Putin or Jinping have created.   Again, greater if you are inside, not so much if you are outside.   

We don't get Fox in the UK, but what my American friends are saying is that the programs on cable are all about the new dictator.  Donald Trump is their man and represents the reality of the republican Party.   The election of Trump in 2016 was when the veneer of respectability went away, and when outright racist and misogyny policies became the norm.  

For the first time in a very long time, Americans will be given a real choice about their future...Don't bet on Biden winning, it would be a bad bet.   There is still a strong likelihood that America will vote against its best interest and will elect a dictator...

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....

Trump and Venezuela...

The US now owns Venezuela…and not in a good way.  America is not known for its nation building skills, and yet it now owns the disaster that is Venezuela.   Starvation and exodus are the natural progression.   In addition it will become a haven for narco-terrorists, more so than it already was. I am sure that Trump and his friends really thought that little attack very well…I guess that he will now attack Iran now.

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...
