Yep.
The time to exit the stock market was MONTHS ago.
Bumpy ride.
Another hawt and humid day, here.
Got out, to the garden, early. Windows were all condensated (? .. is that even a word...lol), early this a.m.
🥵
I’ve been complaining about the temperature here, but you have it worse with the humidity. Take care.
President Joe Biden awkwardly claimed that his planned Saudi trip, where it’s expected he’ll mend ties with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) and ‘move on’ from the issue of the Jamal Khashoggi murder, has not much to do with energy. He had this exchange with reporters outside of Air Force One on Sunday:
Reporter: “Have you decided, sir, whether to go to Saudi Arabia?”
Biden: “No, not yet.”
Reporter: “What would be holding up the decision at this point? Are there commitments you’re waiting for from the Saudis on the negotiations over peace talks?”
Biden: “No, no, the commitments from the Saudis don’t relate to anything to do with energy.”
In the Sunday exchange with reporters, Biden said further, “It happens to be a larger meeting taking place in Saudi Arabia. That’s the reason I’m going. And it has to do with national security for them – for Israelis.” He continued, “I have a program, anyway. It has to do with much larger issues than having to do with the energy price.”
Ironically, the Democratic president is suggesting this is really focused on a furtherance of Trump’s Abraham Accords. After the UAE and Israel established ties under the accords, along with several other Arab states, there’s been talk that Saudi Arabia could be next.
“I have a program”....didn’t Biden try to take partial credit for the Abraham Accords?
