The Democratic Convention is finally over and Kamala Harris has been, as expected, anointed to the role of contender against Trump. I figured with her DEI and VP qualifications she’d be a hard one to kick out and Joe Biden did not exactly set a high bar for presidential performance. I get the sense that they could practically put any warm body in the seat as long as they follow marching orders.
The convention was, as expected, a depressing display of virtue signalling without substance. The plight of the common people and the will of voters was ignored in Kamala’s campaign of “joy” The main talking point was that she is not Trump.
The few policy points that were mentioned at all were provably false or were promises about what would happen if Kamala is (s) elected. A track record such as this usually hurts the incumbent party:
At this point though it is about managing perceptions that Harris could win, or is likely to. Diebold can always secure the margin of error if all else fails. The entire charade feels like the work of sadistic pedophiles to show that they own us and that there’s nothing we can do about it. Some people noted the contradictions of known Epstein Island visitor Bill Clinton speaking, with some empty rhetoric later deployed about protecting children from sexual trafficking and abuse:
In Great Britain anybody who opposes their replacement by immigrants is harshly punished, often by judges who have been suspiciously lenient on pedophiles. I do not know if this quote is satire or was actually said:
The overriding message was that the lies, human trafficking and genocide will continue with impunity.
Some things were said about working towards an Israel/Hamas ceasefire. The slaughter will continue because backing down from it might lead to a demand for accountability and justice for the victims. With this much blood already shed that simply cannot be allowed to happen, so it’s double or nothing on all fronts. It’s good for the stock market!
Oprah Winfrey, with a net worth of $3 billionish, talked about being the victim of racism and sexism. She then talked about how the Democratic party were the types who would pull their neighbors out of a burning building. This felt like the worst kind of gaslighting to victims of the Maui fires, where she has been snapping up land on the cheap from those who had everything taken from them. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it:
With houses the most unaffordable they have ever been and inflation still rampant Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell has hinted at interest rate cuts. This will goose all asset classes higher, as it will the cost of everything.
Kamala Harris has some policy proposals for that including price controls and a tax on unrealized gains. Both would be catastrophic to the working class. To simplify the unrealized gains tax, let us suppose that there is an older woman with a $200,000 house which is paid off. She scrapes by on $15,000 per year from social security.
Blackrock and other investment funds with more money than God goose home values up even higher, and now her $200K home is worth $300K. She had no intention of selling her house, but since this is a tax on unrealized gains, she now owes the IRS $20K anyways. She decides to sell her home and go live in an old folks home. The housing market crashes as others like her do the same. This causes a deflationary spiral as there are more homes available on the market than there are actual people to live in them. The market collapses, forcing those with mortgages underwater on their loans to also sell, adding to the housing glut.
The Fed bails out the big players. Blackrock comes back in and swoops up the home for $150,000 to turn it into rental property. You will own nothing and you will be happy about it. Repeat this story across asset classes.
There is an increasing disconnect between what we call money and owned, tangible goods. Gold is rising just like all of the other asset classes are:, yet it is much more steady when viewed through the boom and bust cycles:
So is there anything to do regarding this all? I’m not going to suggest voting harder. I think it is time to turn inward. I find solace in nature.
I thought this post was humorous:
Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'
She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'
The defense attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,
'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair...!!”
It’s hard to find things to be inspired by or laugh about on the screens lately Seek solace in the divine. I believe that God has a plan.
“8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. 10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.”
Psalms 118
Yes absolutely she can win it legitimately.
-There is a very large anti-Trump vote.
-There is a significant contingent of voters that will cast based on skin color, (which is their right).
-There are a lot of people who want the government to take care of them.
Make no mistake she and her veep are very dangerous for this country. She is a socialist to the left of Bernie Sanders on the most liberal ticket the US has ever seen. For example she co-sponsored Medicare for All with Bernie Sanders in the Senate that would tax Americans to fund the government to pay for healthcare for all residents, eliminating all private insurance, which rightly died in committee because it is so far out there. Too many people don’t yet understand the meaning of this Democrat ticket, but some do and want it that way.
Harris and Biden both have many Blackrock presidential aides, who are the ones telling their puppets what to say. A mind control play, not known to many.
