Biden is not going anywhere

First was the debate, then the interview.   In neither case did Biden shine.  The interview with 100% softball questions, exactly like what Trump gets from Fox or other Far-right media.  Yet he was all over the place.  Biden will not quit, he will go all the way, because despite his declining mental acuity he is still the Democrat's best hope.   The US economy is on fire, inflation has been falling for three years and interest rates have fallen.  Unemployment and labour participation are at historical lows and highs respectively.   

Not all of these improvements are because of Biden, but it remains that the party in power gets rewarded or blamed based on the economy's health.   The war in Ukraine remains popular with the electorate, and the abortion debate is far from over.  The GOP has made it a plan to introduce national legislation to ban abortion.   

The truth is all the markers are in place for Biden to win a massive victory.   Voters may not like Biden, but they like the economy, even the stock market is on fire.   If this was 2004 Biden would be a shoe in.  The reality is that the anti-abortion lobby (less than 30% of the population is anti-abortion) is very loud, and takes a disproportionate space in the daily conversation.   Americans love the concept of revenge, what Trump lives for, but they are also a very forgiving nation, and the idea of using the legal system to punish those who think differently is abhorrent to most Americans.

Note:  I was watching a video on YouTube yesterday, it was the final phase of two car chases where both vehicles had been carjacked and where they crashed into each other at high speed.  Death and mayhem resulted.  what was surprising was that the person taking the video was applauding the carjackers and was distressed when they crashed into each other.   That is America it seems.  Show this video to the rest of the planet and everyone will conclude that this is karma.

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...
