lj: The mess in the Middle East will never end. Never. The American media is obsessed with the Presidential race, as War World III looms. Trump has warned about the extremely volatile geopolitical scene. But half the country won't listen to him. They hate him.
lj: Trump needs to blast the Biden Administration. That will call attention to what is happening.
How convenient that Steve Bannon is in the joint for the 4 months leading up to the election. He would be all over this in the biggest political podcast in the U.S., if not the world.
I guess that U know that Ukraine is loaded with rare-earth minerals and other good stuff the West needs.

al44: I believe that the liberal media has turned on her. USA Today actually published an editorial stating that the Dem ticket was so far left people should hold their nose and vote for Trump. The liberal press are Dr. Frankenstein and Kamala is their monster. (Walz is Igor, it goes without saying!)
Gmenfan: That was very good! Did U see Walz staring at the floor when Kamala was speaking off the cuff the other day? It made me think he was worried about the stupid stuff that she might say. She was talking about democracy. It is just me, or does Walz look like a big, dumb goofball?
WULF: Start a position in this bitcoin player. FWIW.
Did anyone see the whack job give her speech last night?
We are talking Olivia Cortez, or whatever her name is.
Did you see her eye movements? About every minute or so, she darts them to the left or the right. And then she does her crazy stare for a few seconds. Something is very off there.
lj: Getting the Democrats elected will assure that the U.S. dollar collapses.
Even the VERY liberal, Trump-hating online newspaper "USA Today", ran an editorial saying that Harris is to the left of Bernie, and her sidekick from Minnesota is to the left of Kamala.
lj: WULF
Started a small position. Their energy usage gives them an edge, so to speak. According to a press release I read, they have paid off their LT debt.
On another note, I am going to try to sell VTLE at $50 or better and take the loss. Their latest acquisition has set them back in bringing down their debt. The plan is to sell calls, and if it goes, it goes. If not called, I would be paying myself a dividend.
al44; Could be anything, from a war to a volcanic eruption. A series of volcanic eruptions sending ash up into the stratosphere could cause a years-long winter. Make sure to stock up on furnace filters! If U stack wood, U might have to watch it at night with a shotgun!
lj: NVDA call
I believe I could have bought in that call for $48K several weeks ago. Today, it would cost $66K to buy it in. If I had any sense, I would have bought puts every time NVDA dropped 10 percent or more. Had I done that, I would be back to even!

True. RIP dear friend Lentinman. Gone but not forgotten.
al44: Remember Pat Buchanan? He predicted this in 2002 in his bestselling book, "The DEATH of the West". And as Steven K. Bannon has said upteen times, as Europe goes, so goes the U.S. if conservative do not control the U.S. Government.
Good quote from the book: "If tens of millions of American girls and young women are determined not to have children, or to have no more than one, America either accepts mass immigration or the fate of Japan and Europe". If native-born American citizen couples have more than two children, it is an aberration. An immigrant couple in their 50's in my neighbor from an Asian country have one son. So, even legal immigrants aren't replacing themselves.
In my neighborhood, there is only one family that has more than two children. Raising children has become too expensive, but that is another subject.
IMO, the Daily Mail, a British tabloid, has turned on Trump. I believe they are afraid of the British Government now that it is coming after conservatives. They have gone so far as to audit Nigel Farage's books, looking for donations that would violate their laws. I have seen several negative articles on Trump in the Daily Mail over the last few days. Up to this point, their coverage of Trump was very positive. And another anti-Trump outfit, Fox News, did not run Maria Bartiromo's very conservative, pro-Trump Sunday show "Weekend Futures" yesterday. Last week she did a brief interview with Mr. Farage, who looked stressed. Was that the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back with her bosses, the lovely Murdochs?
Up until last week, her show "Weekend Futures" ran at 10:00 a.m. EDT on Sundays, with a repeat at 11:00 a.m. on Fox's Business channel. It also was rerun at 3:00 p.m. on the main channel. Are the Daily Mail and Fox News doing a full court press to hurt Trump's campaign? I wouldn't put anything past them.
Just who does Megan Markle think she is? What a narcissist!
The Daily Mail mocks her in this article. She is attending some type of conference about African women, and mentions her empowered little daughter. The Daily Mail slaps up a big pic of her white daughter. It is too sick to even be amusing.
She is the California girl version of Mrs. Wallace-Simpson. The British royal men really know how to attract them!

al44: All any intelligent person needs to know about Harris is that she pronounced "price gouging" as "price gaging". Maybe she doesn't have a good grasp of English since she spent her adolescence in Montreal.
al44: No, they want to fine X (Twitter). If Carmela becomes President, this will come to the U.S.
Gmenfan: Thanks for posting Kunstler's piece. It was more informational than satirical.
Not his usual cleverness--just good political analysis.
NYBob: Wonderful rally in Wilkes-Barre, PA this afternoon. EOM
p_s_h: Anyone who says "price gaging" is too stupid to be President of a Rotary club, much less the United States. I know many people who have TDS who will vote for her, though I am beginning to think that some will either not vote for President or will secretly vote for Trump.
lj: You can always buy a push mower like the Beav used!
I pay a guy to cut the grass, and he is supposed to use a regular mower. He uses a battery-powered mower. The other day, he used a riding mower with wide tires. I showed him the error of his ways. Once U have to hire someone to cut your lawn, it is one thing after another.
I pay $60 a week. How many remote-controlled mowers could U buy for what a season of lawn-cuttings costs me? The seasons starts the first week of April (last week of March this year) and ends in November (2-3 cuttings in November).
lj: OT
That was a hoot. My neighbor loves "Green Acres". I watched it many moons ago.

Gmenfan: Thank you. A feel-good moment! eom
al44: I think the Governor of Florida might have something to say about that.
More crap.
SkeBallLarry: Very scary. A real vote of confidence for the possibility of a Carmela Harris Presidency. There are countries out there just waiting to end run the U.S. dollar. If Harris wins, it will happen fast.
lj: A rabbit like the ones in my yard. How they have escaped the foxes, I cannot tell U.
SMCI:
Good find. Thanks.
lj: SMCI
Just thinking out loud. Are U saying your big bag is fllled with roadkill?
Warning: Rated X
Humor from Rob Carson's radio show today:
If Kamala had picked Elizabeth Warren as her running mate, there would be two Indians on the ticket.
The lawn signs could say:
Spread Eagle
Pocahontas

lj: SMCI: I wonder whether the choo-choo left the station. It is tempting to complete a swing trade on the 12 shares I purchased last week, but the prospect of those shares becoming 120 shares in the not-too-distant future makes me want to channel the CEO and play the long game. If the stock continues to rise from here, I won't be buy more pre-split shares.
There might be some good buying opportunities post-split.
CSCO: Will be interesting to see whether it takes out the 52-week high if a round of analysts' upgrading the stock begins. They just put out a decent earnings report, and the CEO said the requisite blah, blah, blah about AI. Apparently, AI spending is in the first inning.
The left's new scare tactic: monkey pox. Trudeau the moron has sounded the alarm in Canada. It is spreading through the Congo. If cases come to the U.S. from across the Mexican border, the left will blame it on Trump!
al44: No, the Brits aren't going insane. The European socialists have a firm grip on the country.
lj: Actually, this didn't happen before stock options were created.
Stock options created the 1%, and, to a lesser extent, CEO's being paid in stock during the early early years of their businesses.
Why hasn't Pocohontas pushed the idea of making stock options illegal?
Answer: Because she is obsessed with banks.
p_s_h: Very clever! EOM
Gee, how many of these people got the COVID vax?
If the food is so terrible, why didn't this start 5, 10 years ago?
