I predicted long ago that Joe wouldn’t be running; that he would fall down go boom at some strategic time and graciously turn over the reins to Kamalamala after receiving a guarantee that he & boy wonder would be pardoned; President Kamalamala would go into and out of the record books satiated and be happy to step aside while chairing the convention; the insiders could pick an insider to be sacrificed to the Trumpmonster; they could keep a low profile and just take shots at the GOP and blame them for where the toilet economy has to go and everything would be well in Demoland. I can see a problem with my prediction: he’s going to need to be pushed, -he can’t think well enough to make the calculation I thought would be operative.
Later, I said he wouldn’t actually debate when that was added to the agenda. I need to amend my brilliant, prescient predictions because we can see that Joe has gone downhill faster than predicted by the standard formula for calculating the effect of gravity on a falling body. We all knew he was drugged-up for looks, but all that has accomplished is to hide the stunning progression and whatever cocktail they’re pumping him up with is so powerful they can’t use it constantly. So, now when we see him in the un-drugged-up state it can only be described as breath-taking. At the White House affair he attended on June 11, he was almost in a coma, or maybe he was and just didn’t fall down. His glazed-over eyes were a stunning peak into his vacant brain. The rest of the world that has TV may notice.
We can expect attacks, -probably coordinated from terrorists and the CCP and all the rest, muy pronto, to take advantage of the absolutely crippling moment in time when at any given moment Joe will be unable to think fast. I hope the low-down no good sons of bitches that are using Joe as their cut-out doll to run the country understand that we have a single Commander-in-Chief because that’s what’s needed at the moment when action is needed to respond to a threat to our national interest. It always involves life & death on a grand scale. A committee doesn’t work; they will take precious time at just the moment when we don’t have it to give. All the strategists know this, and will use it to our great disadvantage. I can only hope that some of the anti-patriots using cut-out Joe are direct victims of the coming violence. Karma.
Dems didn’t take into account that Hunter laptop would surface. Of course they managed to poopoo it earlier, but not this time.
Harris was chosen as a safety valve against the possibility of Biden getting impeaced, because the Americans, including traditional Dems, would shudder at the notion of her actually becoming President.
The Simpsons predicted a female President after Trump. Was it predictive programming?
Women staying home and taking care of the homefront and child upbringing is the future.
Nothing good came out of female presidents / prime ministers. Thatcher was a Rothschild tool, Merkel destroyed Germany. The dancing queen of Finland is pathetic, and the loud-mouthed Estonian PM Kallas represents feminism on steroids bound to fail the country (where 20% of the population is ethnic Russian), Ursula von der Leyen is not very bright and constantly making a fool of herself, etc etc
I was referring to the 2 top places on the political ticket; Pres & VP. I wouldn’t predict anything in the households of the future because AI is going to eliminate a lot of office jobs, including high-dollar sales jobs. I suspect the adjustment period will be uncomfortable, and people will learn to hate AI. The modern computer world has introduced lots of people to so-called trouble-shooting call lines that are machines, which work really poorly. They are all the same with some canned answers and if your problem doesn’t fit into the system as it is, you are out of luck. Many companies have no people lines whatsoever, so you have to abandon a solution. The ignorant companies just lose you as customer and it doesn’t bother them because they don’t maximize number of customers anymore, they only want zero problem customers which does keep costs low and profits predictable. The new managers of the new companies think so differently from the old standard management procedures that old people like me don’t understand the whys or wherefores of business and find it impossible to even discuss it.
Whose side are you on? Nikki is the anti-Trump. The daughter is just fine. Not all people are candidates, nor even want to be. She’s a soldier. It takes a particular type of person to run, and very, very few want to subject themselves to the anal exam, hourly, that candidates need to survive. It takes an ego as big as a barn. I’m smart enough, but I’m not a public person, I want to remain anonymous. There are millions more just like me out there. I would hate to be recognized everywhere I go. Those kinds of people give up the simple ability to have dinner in a restaurant. The only people who are viable candidates out of the box are already politicians. Again, too many to count. Elise Stefanik, Joni Ernst, Kristie Neom, Kari Lake, Katie Hobbs, and more.
Nikki is not considered a Republican by any Republicans.
Many people are in agreement. If you think you have wisdom, let’s say some knowledge, which many others do not have, it is not a bad idea to share it.
Whether you get scoffed at, or even called names, is another story. Every culture has the adage that says something like prophets are never welcome in their home towns.
Lao-tsu said, the Tao (path, way, truth) gets laughed at. That’s the way of the world.
Whose side I’m on?
As for neocon Nikki, I’m against those who promote death and destruction in exchange for fame and fortune. You don’t have to be a Jesus to know that a contract with the devil is a bad thing.
As for the Trump daughter, I don’t know her personally, but someone who converts to Judaism to marry the son of a rich Joo? Gimme a break.
She certainly didn’t need his money; they are roughly financial-class equivalents. That leaves other factors. He is more than ordinary smart by my standards, and by Donald’s, too. He has completed assignments which are worthy of a proper negotiator. Look at the Abraham Accords! A big surprise for most people in the world.
As a last-ditch assumption, she could have done it for love. ? It happens.
As for me, I serve best as a sounding board that may be able to clarify a few issues in the minds of a few people who have lived fewer years and have, therefore, a smaller database to help them interpret world events. What I have seen is history repeating itself, which makes one a lot less confident in politician’s promises and pronouncements.
A small example: the Fed has had ready explanations for what has and is happening in the economy for the last 3 ½ years, and answers for what to do about it. Has anything they have predicted happened as they predicted? Do we have any reason to believe they can fix inflation? The Fed has only ever been able to bring down inflation by causing a recession in spite of the fact, that, according to Economist Milton Freidman (in 6 books on the subject and Nobel Prize) all inflation is caused by an excess of money spending in the economy. Only the govt can spend money without producing a product. You and I have to produce something to get money to spend. So, the only branch that spends excessively without producing causes all inflation, but the agency whose charter is to control inflation has no ability to stop the spending. They stop inflation by shutting off the money supply to the economy creating a recession which stops the people who need to produce goods & services from working so they can’t spend what they don’t earn. Is this a bad joke?
The Doctor tells you that you have a raging flu virus in your lungs, and they can’t cure a virus, but they can stop the virus by shutting off the oxygen access to the virus. Question: Is the only solution suffocating you? (If you get the right answer you qualify for a seat on the Fed Board of Governors).
On the other hand, US Presidents generally having two terms (8 years) only is ridiculous. It takes time for good policies to show results. Thus US Presidents are in a big hurry to show results and it ends up in failures in the long run.
Marriages among the rich often involve money and prestige. The marriage of Diana and Charles ended in a disaster. I don’t see Ivanka with, what’s his name, her husband anymore, do you?
The Fed is owned by private banksters, who want more debt by the government so that they can make money by doing nothing. Or just printing, or computer key strokes. And it doesn’t make the situation any better.
Inflation is creating excessive money (out of nothing). Simples.
I think what we wanted was a Sheppard more than a innovator. We wanted someone to oversee the country and run the cash register, and what we get is someone passing out discounts to friends and pocketing handfuls.
Charles may not be an idiot, officially, but he’s a dunderhead. Diana married down.
You are technically inaccurate in your description of money creation. #1.) An official unit of exchange becomes unstable and loses usefulness if there is not enough in circulation to exchange for goods and services. The Fed is a currency trader; they earn interest on the bonds they sell, and buy & sell as a market maker in US Bonds. The sale price of the bonds flow to the US balance sheet so the created money is a freebee to the govt which they spend in addition to the taxes & fees that they rake in. It is inflationary, but a necessary inflation to have enough currency in circulation to conduct normal life & business. #2.) If the govt only spent 1/2% of money created and reduced taxes by the rest of the value created, inflation in the economy would be zero or so close to that as to be insignificant. Trump knows this and is aiming to get us on that path. Every dollar spent by the govt is dollar not spent by the public and/or business creating more value added. Value added is that amount that is profit in the creation of goods & services.
The people who live in a place run it. We’ve made some progress, so to speak. Look at the govts that have descended from the Brit Empire; same origin and humanist(?) goals, none duplicate the others. We don’t even speak the same English. We don’t even speak the same English in the individual countries, or states, cities, families…
For instance, we often can’t agree with each other on plain facts. There are men who dress like women and therefore are…
The Palestinian protester encampment at McGill University in Canada has a 4 week revolution anti-Israeli “camp” starting next week that will have sessions on cultural crafts, political discussions, historical and revolutionary lessons, beginning of resistance, Pan-Arab-ism, Arabic language, PLO, Islamic resistance. Hate Camp for your college children. In plain sight and what does someone do about it? Sooner or later one side in this issue will have to kill the other. And, a third group sitting on their hands will cry foul.
