2024 election

I make a prediction, Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States.  The Democrats will win the popular ballot but it is irrelevant, because the Republicans are ready for a redo of the 2020 election and what they cannot win at the ballot they will win in court.   In reality they don't have to win they just need not to lose.

Kari Lake (R-Arizon) lost the election in 2020, yet is still in court to reverse her loss, spending millions every year, and the courts let her do it.   To her supporters she sounds like a fighter and that that has been wronged.   Her detractors have moved on...which is the problem.   

Bob Mendez (D-New Jersey) and Donal Trump are both convicted criminals.   Bob is out, Don is running for President.  the difference one is a Democrat the other is Republican.

Mat Gaetz (R-Florida) has basically been convicted of being a child sex offender.   Sex with underaged women (plural) is a proven.  Yet he is running for re-election.   The Democrats are about the rule of law, the republicans are about winning.  

The Republican party has no real agenda, basically its agenda is to stop doing things, and not engage.  Remove things (IRS, Education, Energy etc etc).   Foreign policy is we like dictators (it was US policy during the cold war), but Trump has a particular affinity for Putin and Xi, he is also a fan of Kim Jong Un.  I suspect that Don loves the idea of using a 50 cal to eliminate his political opponents.

The Democrats have Biden...

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...
