Well what is the crisis? For the tl;dw folks – assets don’t match liabilities. We are, in financial terms, underwater.

I have watched this about 1/2 way through. Very funny. If you like that sort of thing. I will be looking for others. About 26 minutes Van Jones calls the election a whitelash, when what happened is that Blacks and Hispanics didn’t vote for Clinton the way they voted for Obama. A commercial begins at…

Has anyone (besides me) noticed a parallel between the politics of the 1930s and what we seem to be going through these days? I attribute it to being at the bottom of a Kondratieff cycle. I wrote about the economics of it in The INs vs The OUTs.

Over at the Atlantic they are having the vapors over the alt-right. Isn’t it time we took a look at the alt-left? Well it really isn’t “alt”. It is mainstream. Let us have a look at a prime exemplar. Keith Ellison who is in the running for DNC Chair. Keith was a spokesman for the…

Alt media is going nuts about something called Pizzagate. Posters over at 4Chan and Reddit have been conducting an extremely bizarre investigation following the John Podesta e-mail leak (Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman) and the results are surreal: They’ve apparently uncovered an elite child trafficking network which celebrates its tendencies using code words and disturbing artworks.…

The right wing of the alt right held a post election conference and rally. Needless to say some people are appalled. I’m not. Suppressing a point of view does not eliminate it. It just organizes underground. And then pops up “full grown” when conditions are right. Call it the mushroom effect. My best hope from…

The ranting really gets going at about 10 minutes in. However, his discussion of the death of the MSM at about 8 minutes in is good. Presidential Election years should be an advertising bonanza for media companies. This year, in one of the hottest elections ever, it was not. Big Media is dead. Did Trump…

Eric linked to an article that I just read. But the best part for me is not the article it is this comment. Animal 11.20.16 @ 9:43AM No mention of the joys of bathing in the sweet, sweet tears of bawling proggies. My former business partner and still one of my best friends is an…

Donald Trump’s media summit was a ‘f—ing firing squad’ says the NY Post. Donald Trump scolded media big shots during an off-the-record Trump Tower sitdown on Monday, sources told The Post. “It was like a f–ing firing squad,” one source said of the encounter. “Trump started with [CNN chief] Jeff Zucker and said ‘I hate…

Ya know. Maybe those people who denigrate evolution are not the worst such problem in the world.      

Styx has a new video posted discussing the magical aspects of Chaos and Order. The gods involved etc. Well I just had to leave him a reply (amended here by adding links): A good understanding of thermodynamics is helpful in parsing out this subject. We can actually measure chaos and order. It has a name.…

According to this survey 44% of Americans have smoked pot. According to this poll 60% of Americans want the plant legalized. Jeff Sessions our prospective next Attorney General has said ‘Good people don’t smoke marijuana’ Would that be the 44% who admit to using it? Or the 60% who want it legalized? Politically, I don’t…

As long as Donald is sticking it to corporate America. He is specifically against American jobs going to low wage countries. I’m going to address to him a little advice. Bernie, Why not focus on making America the low cost manufacturing place? The cost of government is an area where you can have a direct…

The left has brought us identity politics. Only now whites are embracing it. It is almost like the folks who started the whole identity politics shtick can’t do math.

High Times to be exact. If you check out the comments at the link you will find more than a smattering of Republicans responding to the article. And denouncing Democrats. It didn’t used to be that way. Before the election I had documented another instance of this in High Times. It is not just a…

Republicans should be careful about believing they have a mandate. The mandate may be nothing more than, “we don’t want Hillary”

It looks like India has a money supply problem which will crash its economy in weeks. Today India is on the verge of a major social-political crisis, unless either the government backs off from the decision of banning the currency or some real magic happens. There is chaos in the streets and daily life is…

According to the ADL that makes me a member of the alt-right. So Wad’ya know? I’m a Jewish Zionist member of the KKK. According to the ADL. And in this day and age when promotions are so hard to get.

kingsjester said: It is best to listen to those who elected you and to do what you promised in order to be elected again. And, marijuana is NOT harmless. Patrick is right about Colorado. The question on people’s minds is not “is marijuana harmless?” The question being brought forward – “Is marijuana more harmful than…
