  • Strong jobs report presents conundrum for Biden

    Strong? Not really. Firstly, the number like all others will be knocked down twice from here. Second the jobs are all healthcare and government. Old boomers and Government consultants. Any part of a real economy is shrinking. We are quickly turning socialist.

  • Sweden introduces draconian ‘security zone’ in gang crime hotspot, giving police indiscriminate powers to search anyone

    Draconian is the word for the gang who surrounds you and beats you, or rapes your woman, in their neighborhoods. What the police do, is to bring back civilization. The left may not understand, but might makes right is a natural law of human nature. It does not get repealed just for DEI.

    a doll. There is a book. I read it. Not the best book in the world. But Billy Joe, and she were in love. One night he got drunk and ended up with an older guy. He felt so ashamed he threw himself off a bridge. There is also a movie as well. After Billy Joe died. The girl in the story leaves town for 6 months. Because many people thought Billy Joe killed himself because he got a girl pregnant. And she thought that was a more honorable reason than what really happened. So she let the little town believe she was the one who got knocked up. That part of Mississippi is pretty back water. A great place to drive through. But keep your windows rolled up.

  • Mitt Romney says his dog scandal doesn’t compare to Kristi Noem’s: ‘I didn’t shoot my dog’

    Some dogs need to be put down. Most people send their crazy dog to the pound so some unsuspecting family adopts it and realizes that their new dog bites all the neighbor children. Some people take their crazy dog to the vet and the vet gives them a lethal drug. But ranchers just go out dig a hole and put the dog down with whatever tool gets the job done quickly and pain free. The rancher governor did the right thing. Some dogs can’t be trained. Some dogs bite. And those dogs need to be put down.

    The best thing about Bill is that he was a volunteer lab rat for the vegan experience. He had a an injury prone career. He died at 71. Keith Richards is going strong at 80. As long as you stay out of the swimming pool you live much longer as a rolling stone than as a vegan.

  • Morgan Spurlock, ‘Super Size Me’ filmmaker, dead at 53

    Supersize Me was propaganda. He ate more than he wanted. More than he could without feeling nauseous. He did it every day, three times a day. He also stopped walking up stairs and he stopped riding his bike or walking distances more than a block. He gained a lot of weight. Big deal! Every single restaurant in NYC would have had the same affect on him.

    He did that because if he ate two meals at McDonald’s and ate only when he was hungry, or if he did his normal amount of exercise, he would not have a movie. He would not have money or fame either. McDonald’s is not perfect food. But its not terrible either. I eat a sausage McMuffin with egg. I throw out the top muffin half. I have it with a coffee. Nothing wrong with that. McDonald’s used to have salad. Nobody bought the salad.

    And if you want to blame one person for any extra bad food at McDonald’s. Blame Warren Buffet. That friendly old man who is as evil as they get; he funds wokism. His firms caused the 2008 crash. And he sat for decades on the board of McDonald’s making sure that McDonald’s only sold Coke. That supersized Coke had no nutritional value and most of the sugar. Morgan could have had a milk or a coffee or a water. All were available. But he had a liter of Coke.

    McDonald’s used to use beef tallow on their fries. We now know that beef tallow is pretty good for you. The seed oil that Bloomberg and others forced on McDonald’s is truely a health hazard. Blame our government and our health industry and the vegans of the country who made McDonald’s fries less healthy by insisting on seed oil over beef fat. Who knows. Morgan’s cancer could have come from his own movie that forced all restaurants to switch to cancer causing seed oils over tried and true natural beef fat.

    Morgan did not make us healthier. He made us less healthy with his Supersize Me Movie.

    This women has no business running a brand such as Cracker Barrel. If she does not understand the brand, she should step down. Cracker Barrel is a great brand. It could use a bit of updating. It could sell Keto Dishes. It could add new things to its store. It has a great breakfast. It just needs to modernize a bit. Be a little less carby.

    three hours ahead of time gave him no time to do anything. I am guessing he called in lawyers and talked about it. If he warns Trump something stupid might happen. His best move is to let it happen because he can’t stop it. He does not have the warrant. He does not know whats really going on. DeSantis like Trump himself just have to sit back and take it, hoping the world will be shocked. And they are.

  • China's Moves Away From US Dollar Hit New Milestone

    Look at the amount of steel America makes. That is the amount of steel America needs. China can over produce lots of products. And they have. But that does not make them strong. It makes them dangerous. China over produces poorly made products all over the place. From Apartments to electric cars. China has no idea how much of anything should be made. And there seems to be no penalty for producing bad products. So China, the worlds trash heap, will implode. And their dysfunction will screw up many other economies along the way. Hopefully they will right size their production before they start a war. Which is the way that poorly planned economies usually end up trying to find some usefulness of their over production.

    When you sell bonds you end up with dollars. Its the only way to sell US notes and bonds. So now they have more dollars. They could be using them to buy bitcoin and gold. Or they could be buying some commodities. We know that their currency is falling. The dollar is very high against all currencies and especially China and Japan. The dollar has been falling against gold and bitcoin but not oil. China would normally be getting dollars through trade deficits with US consumers. But the trade deficit with China has shrunk dramatically in 2023 and 2024. China would need to sell $100 Billion in US 10 year notes annually to make up the difference.

    China needs America or they turn back into the third world country they were in 1980. America has its spending problems. But China dumping US dollars is not an issue.

    America’s biggest issue is that our governments from local to national are spending and taxing so much that it is taking over the economy. Our low unemployment is because governments are absorbing all the excess workforce. Pretty soon that will become the issue. Governments are obscuring the natural business cycle. We can’t have a real recession because the government is too big and it keeps spending right through a would be recession. Local property taxes and high inflation will make life too expensive in the US. Expect life to get very expensive in the near future. Government dominated economies don’t have recessions, but they don’t have growth either.

  • Breaking: Dr Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance has been officially Defunded by the U.S. government

    EcoHealth Alliance is not a health organization. Its a depopulation organization. They were the Land Trust. They bought land in the Brazilian rain forest hoping to save it from deforestation. That did not work. As the Brazilian government simply traded other acres of the rain forest which would have saved the rain forest land the Land Trust bought. So The Land Trust found a new strategy. They decided the only way to preserve the Earth and all its species was to get rid of people. If there were far fewer people they would use less land. So they started looking for ways to depopulate the planet. They changed their name to EcoHealth Alliance so they could masquerade as a health company. They applied for federal funds which came from the US military budget under Fauci. Half of Fauci’s budget was actually military. And they hired one Doctor, Daszak. Virtually all the rest of the board are environmentalists. While the Chinese and the US military may have wanted a bio-weapon, Daszak too wanted a bio-weapon.

    Democracy is a strategy that promotes population. Elitism is not. Depopulation reigns when votes are not counted or countries don’t matter.
