Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war.

How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran.

It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb.

It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small extent, Iran has seen his power structure destroyed. In conjunction, with Russia’s departure from the region.

it is possible, but the Iranians are close to the bomb, but more than likely, Israel has made the bet, that they could get around Iran, and destroy its military complex and it’s ability to build a nuclear weapon. It is evident, that the Prime Minister of Israel has been trying for quite some time to get Donald Trump on board. The fact that neither Donald Trump nor the vice president went to Israel in their recent visit to the Middle East is a clear indication that Donald Trump was seriously pissed with Benjamin Netanyahu’s play on Iran. It is also evident, that the White House was made aware of Israel’s plan to bomb Iran. As the country reduced its embassy staff to the minimum levels.

Trump like most politician is not a fan of wars, especially one with Iran. It’s easy to forget, that within the first few days I’ll become a president in 2017, Donald Trump unilaterally terminated the agreement with Iran with controlling its nuclear weapons. Now, almost a decade later, he’s president again, and has to face the problem he would seem to have caused.

in addition, what happens if you succeed? Who is to say, that Iran doesn’t already have a network of sleeper cells in the United States ready to activate and cause act of terrorism on American soil? That’s something that Donald Trump has to think about every single day. The Iranians don’t need a working nuclear bomb, to affect the United States, or Israel for that matter. A dirty Would do tremendous damage. Also, what happens if he fails?

so, Donald Trump, has return to his game show host stick, he will decide within the next two weeks? Woolly or won’t he tune in tomorrow to find out.. It’s incredible, but that’s the reality of the American presidency in 2025, but that’s what we got.

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...
