Outsiders





Trump has been castigated for picking non-politician outsiders for his preferred candidates … Dr. Oz, Keri Lake, J.D. Vance, Herschel Walker, etc.  But, according to recent polling; his reading of the voter leanings does not look so disconnected after all.



STAND UP FOR OUTSIDERS!

 

A Critical Test


Pilgrim, it seems that China … after two decades plus of using capitalism to build up its economic muscle … is reverting to form — Communist totalitarism — in order to finish the job of world hegemony.


So, Pilgrim we should now memorialize the real value of free-market capitalism insofar as how quickly the Chinese economy hits the wall.

Obvious Truth

 


Just watched the Fetterman, Dr. Oz debate … and it is clearly obvious that, if Fetterman wins a PA Senate seat, it will be a victory of raw partisanship over scrambled eggs.


(Remarkably good moderators!)



STAND UP FOR DR. OZ!


Interesting Factoid

 


Yesterday, President Biden said that in the first week, applications for forgiveness were submitted by 22 million srudent-loan borrowers. Now assuming that all of these applications are valid … and are $10,000 per … this would sum to $220 billion.


Add to this weeks more of applications and many Pell Grant recipients who will receive $20,000 of loan forgiveness … means that, if this giveaway goes all the way, it should easily cost taxpayers the estimated $400 billion … and likely a lot more.


Afterward: And most applications should be valid since the only major disqualified … annual income limits … are not solicited on the existing on-line applications … an invitation to fraud.

Deficits

 



The are good deficits and bad deficits … since we almost always have them.

Deficits occurring during pandemics are understandable. (Trump)

Deficits resulting in economic boom times are tolerable.(Trump)

But multi-trillion dollar deficits that result in negative economic growth don’t make a lot of sense. (Biden)

STAND UP FOR PLAYING CATCH!


My Doggerel

Here are a few of my bad poems from when I I was a callow lad:



Ode to a Toad

Oh hail to thee amphibia.

Gourmets marvel at thy tibia,

In witch’s caustic cauldrons are thy feet.

What’s one man’s poison, is another man’s meat.




Ogden Nash Paean

Ocelots cost a lot?





Eeyore

Oh Eeyore

You’re such a bore

And what is more

And to the core …

You’re an ass!



Robert Frost

The name of Frost is held aloft

And laurels does it bring.

I’ll throw my blow

Let it land soft:

It’s not so much the “ice”

As the “ing.”

Apt Analogy



Voting for hack Democrats this November 8th makes as much sense as entering Mr. Ed in the Preakness.



STAND UP FOR REPUBLICANS!


Interesting Factoid

 The Federal Reserve’s Balance Sheet

Not quite up to the minute


When Biden was inaugurated, the Federal Reserve’s  balance sheet roughly stood at $4 trillion. It now stands at around $9 trillion!


This represents how much our money supply has increased .. more than doubled … in under two years!


Is it any wonder we are experiencing run-away inflation?


(Had the Fed not monetized Biden’s fire-hose spending, the market would have increased interest rates all on its own. … and saved the Fed the headaches.)


Afterward: There is reason to suspect there is a hidden agenda to our current raging inflation …. diminishing the economic threat of our national debt that has exceeded our GNP … which is a well-understood danger signal. We did this once before coming out of World War II with an equivalent burdensome debt which was also cured (monetized) with inflation.

The Strong Dollar

 


Why  is the U.S. dollar so strong? This seems counterintuitive given the very high inflation rate we are currently experiencing. Just saw Mohamed El-Erian on FOX Business and he offered three explanations:

1) The Fed is front loading interest rate increases because they are late to the inflation fighting party

2) Although the American economy is slowing, it is still better than the rest of the developed world

3) The dollar is still viewed as a safe haven.


Afterward: And a strong dollar has the effect of exporting our very high inflation to the rest of the world …
