How two weeks changed the race

For almost 10 days Donald Trump wore a massive bandage on his ear.  A picture of the man last night shows almost no damage, and as far as I could see, only a very small nick near the top.   Granted for 10 days it gave Trump an image.

Since then Harris has taken over -- not good, Trump is now the oldest

JD Vance is no Trump and says crazy shit aka "crazy cat ladies..." anyone wants to go against the Swift army?

JD Vance doesn't praise Donald Trump 24/7  (only about 20/6 hours a day Trump doesn't like that!)  

New polls show Harris and Trump neck and neck --- the problem, Trump was well ahead of Biden in the battleground states two weeks ago (rumours of 6%).   In one week Trump has lost the advantage to a black woman 20 years younger than him!  

Lest we forget that the elections are in 100 days... It's not over until the fat lady sings!

Harris has done a credible job on the stump (much better than when she was the VP, her ticks are gone)

Harris has not said anything crazy, and unlike JD Vance can tell a joke...

Harris has still not picked her running mate (Pete Buttigieg, Tim Walz, Josh Shapiro, Roy Cooper, Andy Beshear, Mark Kelly. and Gretchen Whitmer).  Each has its challenges three will not make it, (Buttigieg, Shapiro and Whitmer), because they are respectively Gay, Jewish and a woman.   The proof of how deep the Democrats' bench is, is that seven are people with amazing reputations.  Still, all seven are in contention.   According to NYT, the "big" story is that the three top contenders are Kelly, Shapiro, and Walz (I am fully aware that Shapiro is in there...).

Trump is getting even more unhinged, he "said that in four years the Christian right would not need to vote".   Probably didn't mean that, but who knows.

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...
