One way to really mess up a well oiled con game is to change the accepted rules of human behavior.

If your goals are  alien to their thinking, they will assume their own goals on you.  At that point, you control them.

“He can’t really want to improve the working class, there is no upside in it. All the donors want the working class screwed.”

“Life is like a box of tax cuts”

Who Wrote This Script?

I am finding that the American Elite Class seems to be following some very bad advice or needs new writers.

After losing the executive, their reaction has been to throw a tantrum, support riots in the streets, wear  funny hats, call everyone a racist in the opening, middle and closing of every paragraph, destroy the NFL, attack the police, offer cowardice in the face of people trying to kill us, refuse to pass legislation and more general negative activity.

They then top it off with an exposure of just how sleazy and slimy most of their political and celebrity icons are, how casually they use the sons and daughters of America as sexual playthings.

They have made normals question the value of higher education for the exorbitant cost, … Continue reading

A Christmas Story

 

The older I get, the more sentimental I become about Christmas. Grandchildren do that to you, as well as sorting through memories of many prior seasons. Check out the White House video of the Christmas decorations released on Melania’s twitter feed. https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/935147767726448640

Very professional production values, and I think very well done.

No Mao Tse Tung tree ornaments, no social justice holiday messages, just the basic sights that grab the visual cortex and bypass cynicism for a pluck of the heartstrings.

I have this feeling of steady and quiet progress, enforcing immigration laws, actually talking about chain migration and ending it, school choice quietly moving forward, state department slowly turning, tax cuts moving to pro growth, a sensible manufacturing and energy direction moving into place.

I … Continue reading

My Kind Of Bumbling Fool

I am so glad we elected the bumbling fool the media portrays.

It must just be luck that he needs the tax cut passed and the handful of preening clowns in the Senate in his own party have just enough to block him.

Then I read things like this:

https://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/President-Donald-Trump-West-Virginia-China-83-7-billion-deal/2017/11/19/id/827076/

Now what possible deal could he have made for $83 billion in Chinese petrochem investment in infrastructure in West Virginia? Perhaps a senate vote from a Democrat for tax cuts?. I am sure some part of that $83 billion has Manchin’s name on it somewhere.

Now I wonder what other stuff he brought home for red states with blue senators?

So, folks, the sleazy big money dealing politics can be used by the GOPe to keep their power … Continue reading

Monday Monday

Being an   unregistered and uncertified Curmudgeon, I have seen, Forrest Gump like , the changes in society and our political culture this march of technology has wrought.

Going from a day when the number of memo copies was based on how many carbons you could convince a secretary (that is what they were called back then) to jam in her Selectric (Answer 4, 5 if you got a good one) to todays ubiquitous sharing of instant video globally has been a wonder, but also a loss of things like:

Reflection, Proofreading, Time to consider secondary effects, Questions like “Why are two hundred people on the copy list?”.

As in war (See Civil War,  USA) when the weaponry outstrips the tactics and practice, our communications technology is beyond … Continue reading

Curmudgeon Musings with Seasoning

Sorry I have been off the air, the latest salvage operation has been a bit consuming. Today I have a happy client who just got a financial reprieve. He can keep his business if he can just deliver his plan.  Some small town bankers who bet on character still exist, despite many attempts to eradicate them by our elites.

I find myself watching less news as the frenzy of charge and counter charge on moving targets on he said she said media amplified things long past play out.

Meanwhile, I sense a desperation from the GOPe on the course ahead.  If the tax bill passes in any form, the economy will explode into growth not seen since the 1980s. If the usual gang of Senators block it, it … Continue reading

Diplomacy, Branding Style

http://www.dailywire.com/news/23375/watch-chinese-go-crazy-over-trumps-mandarin-joseph-curl

So we have a video at the link of  the President’s granddaughter singing a song in Mandarin, for the Chinese audience.

Let that sink in a bit.

To position America to the Chinese population, he set up this as the face forward.

We will either become wary cooperators with China for mutual interest or we are in for a very rough time.  They are not going away.

This is even better than ping pong.

Save us from professional diplomats.
