  1. Trump appears deeply unnerved as Capitol attack investigation closes in [Click] It’s none too soon; may it continue to increase! I maintain that he should have long ago fled to his bolt hole. If he lacks a bolt hole, that is just more evidence (if more were needed) that he's a dunderhead.

    1. Agree. The Suckerer-in-Chief has been suckered big time by people smarter than he. Not the first or last is that Chicago bank, who's principal got convicted of attempted bribery but now the bank is slated to profit nicely from the foreclosed property sales.
      Money is an amoral tool that comes in handy to facilitate a lot of immoral (exploitative) behavior.
      Of course, exploitation is the object in the business agenda of buying low and selling high. We have instituionalized immoral behavior.

    1. Chile's citizens made a choice. The press really needs to get off the false contest model. Hiring public officials is not a game.

  4. Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker test positive for Covid amid US Omicron surge [Click] Both vaccinated, boosted, and having mild symptoms. Which reminds me that I expect I would be satisfied with either of them as President.

    1. No, it is a frivolous filing designed to garner attention. If it even gets registered, the defendant will simply file a motion to dismiss.
      There ought to be a word to characterize attacks on prominent persons for self-aggrandisement comparable to adulation seeking to bask in reflected glory.
      "You are defined by your enemies," leads people to chose celebrities as enemies. It is a pernicious habit.

    1. Economic behavior involves the trade and exchange of goods and services. There is no evidence that such has been a primary Biden activity.
      In a sense, this is a false attribution of agency to a figure head to perpetuate the illusion that the chief executive of the agencies of government is somehow responsible for all exchange and trade.
      Why perpetuate this fiction? It lets the managers of our natural resources (Congress) and the managers of our currency (Congress) off the hook. Why do they perceive themselves as vulnerable? Because they have to stand for review every two years. And, to be fair, two years is not long enough for the value of any particularly policy to be fairly assessed.
      Biden has the advantage of having been present at the recession of 2008 and apparently learned from the mistakes that were made. Not gonna do that again.
      Also, to be doubly fair, Trump getting the CARES package passed through Congress was a good thing, even if the banks were incompetent.

  7. Trump Got His Booster Shot [Click]
    Former President Trump revealed to Bill O’Reilly that he got his vaccine booster shot. He was promptly booed by the crowd of “supporters.”
