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...

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...
