Trump at a cross road

 Donald Trump has been facing a difficult month, since Joe Biden decided not to run for a second term.  A month ago, Donald was cruising towards an "easy" victory against a man that no one seemed to like.   Joe Biden was smart enough to realize that his odds of winning were too low and quit the race.   

Kamila Harris was immediately anointed the chosen one and has proven to be excellent on the setup, far better than anyone had the right to anticipate.  She lucked out with her running mate and has shown America that a dynamic leader was nothing to behold.

Donald Trump has tried all his tricks and they have uniformly failed.   He tried to portray her as a false black woman (she attended Howard University in Washington -- a predominantly black college) tried to portray her as soft on crime, not at all the reputation she had as the District attorney for California. 

He tried to belittle her, nicknames but all of it has failed, even his proxies have tried to potray her as an idiot, and a know nothing...all of it has failed, because aside from being a known nothing racist Trump is also a famous misogyne.   He has no idea how to deal with woman, his people face the same problem, they are largely cut from the same cloth.   Eventually, they will land a good shot but so far it has been pathetic.

In the polls the impact has been blistering, the Democrats have not even started their convention, they still have a honeymoon.   Yet the numbers for Trump and the GOP are terrible, and getting worse.   The democrats are either equal or ahead in all the important races.     Battles states that were seen as leaning GOP are now seen as leaning for the democrats.

To add insult to injury, Trump has begun a fight with Rupert Maxwell (Fox and WSJ) and with MUreile Alderson, one of his biggest donors.    This could have huge implication for the future of the Donald Trump, who said that if he lost he would leave the country, possibly to avoid jail time...

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b)...

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Janet Yellen from China supporter to Hawk...

There is rarely serious news in the world these days, it seems that most newspapers are filled with headlines and little else, and then Ms Yellen went to China.  Secretary Yellen has long been known in the Biden administration as the voice of moderation when dealing with China, yet as her trip which concluded yesterday a hawk was born:  She warned the Chinese against dumping goods in the United States.    fighting words! The American administration is very concerned about the lack of Chinese domestic consumption.   Even before the COVID-19 epidemic, there were already the beginning signs of a slowdown, automobile sales were off.   China is facing domestic deflation (a clear sign of collapsing demand) China imports few consumer goods, they import raw materials and intermediary goods.   It seems that the American administration is concerned that the Chinese administration will dump consumer goods abroad to keep its manufacturing machinery ...
