campaigning

 There is no doubt that the current push by Harris and Walz is driven entirely by the upcoming democratic convention into each time. However, it is incredible that would less than three months before the election that Trump is not campaigning at all. There has been multiple days in the past two weeks for Trump has played golf.  It’s as if Trump is not taking the campaign seriously.

It could be that it has always been Trump‘s intention to try to steal the election post facto. There is no doubt that the Republicans are aiming at deeming the election as fraudulent if they don’t win.  It is well known that the GOP has hired a large number of lawyers and work tirelessly to put his people in place in each states electoral system.

For Harris and walz they should therefore becomes existential. They have to show that they are winning by such wide margins that they are unstoppable. It’s hard to see how this can happen in America where the voters are so polarized, people just don’t listen to the other side. They are not energized to think critically of what their candidate is saying whether they’re on the left or especially on the right. 

still, a remains it is incredible that with less than three months to go before the November election that Donald Trump is taking entire days off to play golf and not campaign a strange situation and probably the first time in the history of modern politics that is happening in the United States

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...
