Epstein

 it’s been a while. To be perfectly blunt I’ve been busy, and repeating the same old thing over and over gets old quickly. Early this morning, the Americans decided to reveal all the information on the Epstein files. There is no doubt, that the data that will come out will be bad for Trump, but the worst of it is that no one will believe that everything is out. Maga and its cohort will still believe that some files are hidden away, especially when there are rumours that the department of justice has been trying to clean up the file of all the names of Republicans. 

We know the data is bad, because of defrocking of Andrew Mountbatten (A.k.a. Prince Andrew).  It will do nothing to Trump, he’s Teflon and will remain Teflon. But more importantly is now officially a lame duck president. For the past year, Donald Trump has worked very hard at stopping the publishing of the Epstein paper and has failed spectacularly. Of course he’s now playing the role of the guy who wanted the data to come out all along, but the evidence says something else.

The problem with lame Duckery, as you can’t do anything. Everything is blocked because you don’t have the political muscle to move the dial. The idea of a third term is now dead and buried, if it ever was a real thing or just the fever dreams of a bunch of idiots. The next big hit is the Supreme Court ruling that is likely to show that the president did not have the right to impose tariffs. A clearly enumerated role of Congress. If the Supreme Court goes along with Trump, the debate the whole logic of the Supreme Court. But with the lame Duckery in place, the Supremes probably feel it safe to rule against Trump and his friends.

Unfortunately, it seems that the citizens of Venezuela will pay heavy price for Donald Trump‘s desire to change the conversation. Let’s be clear, the Americans last war of aggression had almost no good reason from occurring. Very early on after 9/11 The US government was aware that’s a source of its trouble with Saudi Arabia, not Iraq, not Libya, and not Iran or Afghanistan. Still, Bush invaded several of these countries and started a credit card expensed war that lasted almost 20 years to kill hundreds of thousands of people in four countries. 

The next year will be interesting 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....

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...
