Egypte and other people's money (UPDATE)

It may have made it to this side of the pound by now, but there's a rather explosive report in the US press that talks about the money that Egypt's CIA may have paid to Donald Trump.    

Egypt is stuck in a Gordian knot, and Trump provided an escape, a way of cutting the knot.   The economic and political problems of Egypt are intractable.   A land that can possibly support 40 million inhabitants is home to more than double that number.   A ruling class separate from the people, and a US government withholding military aid.

The story, if it is correct, is that the Egyptian CIA saw a solution in Donald Trump, they made a small bet of around $10 million, that Trump used to fund his campaign and when he got the job, he promised to release the billions that had been withheld by Obama.

Bottom line the Egyptian CIA paid a bribe to Donald Trump and he used the money to fund his 2016 campaign.   The problem is that according to the story, William Barr stopped the investigation after it was highlighted by Muller!   

If this sounds far-fetched, it is a little, but it is almost certain that William Barr used his position to stop investigations that were detrimental to the President (it is also his job to allocate resources).   Now the status of limitation has expired, and this is why it is coming out now, the participants cannot be pursued in Justice... and they now hate Donald Trump!

Let's be clear, Egypt got exactly what it needed, the billions of dollars it got in military aid, allowed the Regime to tamp down political opponents.  As far as Egypt's rulers are concerned this was a fantastic investment.   

WHY NOW:   Because it shows how corrupt Donald Trump is in the entire process.    The $9.998 million dollars he got from the Egyptians is the exact amount Donald contributed to his election campaign.   Right now Trump cannot make a good move, every time he tries something it blows up in his face.

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...
