Democrats warn shrinking Biden's spending plan could backfire
“It is my absolute conviction that you’re not going to have a bipartisan bill unless you have a reconciliation bill of $3.5 trillion,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the chairman of the Budget Committee, told reporters.

This, at its fundamental, is revenue sharing in action. The difference in spending priority between the median states and the big coastals.  The median states win these battles.

Greenland ice melt

 The researchers estimated that, due to climate change, the ice melt rate over the course of the 21st century will be between 8,000 gigatons and 35,900 gigatons tons per century, nearly six times faster than the early-Holocene era rate.
Rather alarming that the arctic is going ice free so fast.

Adding chaos to California confusion

Last week, an Emerson College/Nexstar media poll showed the Gavin Newsom recall election within five points, which came as a surprise since previous polling in May found opposition to the recall beating support by double digits.

Some shrugged off the result because Emerson College/Nexstar has typically been the poll the governor performs the worst in, but on Tuesday, a brand new UC Berkeley Institute of Government Studies/Los Angeles Times poll showed the recall within three percentage points.

Newsom will win if he changes on thing about our stimulus checks. We should not have to file a 540 to get the money. 

The same secret I have been spilling for years?

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A former Air Force intelligence analyst was sentenced to 45 months in prison on Tuesday for leaking top secret information about the U.S. government’s drone strike program to a journalist.

Daniel Hale of Nashville, Tennessee, has said he was motivated by guilt when he disclosed to an investigative reporter details of a military drone program that he believed was indiscriminately killing civilians in Afghanistan far from the battlefield.

This is almost at crisis levels,  even the cartels are killing their foes with drones.  I have been telling folks about this ongoing crisis for years, detailing the problem of securing civilian drones, explaining that the NSA has been enabling unsecured drones with their spy policies. I have not revealed any secret not known by most software pros.

Why is this guy going to jail? Why not arrest the entire executive suite at Google, they have been faking the issue to protect ad sales.  What are ads on search engines except drones without wings?

The topic is open for discussion, the NSA reads my blog, they know there is no cause for my arrest.

Janet Yellen hunting for tax base

World's Largest Cryptoexchange Limits Withdrawals For New Users To Just 0.06 Bitcoin

Janet needs tax base desperately before Jay Powell tapers.  It is a coordinated effort. Now Janet is up against the debt limit and Powell's seigniorage taxes are limit up. This is a bit of too little too late and portends a rate cycle.

If Janet cannot find tax base then stimmies to California and New York stop, public sector takes a dump, Illinois goes belly up and we are in for another long rebuilding process. The do or die moment is approaching.

Misrerading the polls

Republicans have plenty of concern about their own party, too. Fewer than half of Republicans, 41%, say they are optimistic about the GOP’s future. Just 13% say they are “very” optimistic. And one third, 33%, say they are pessimistic.

Te concern is basically from rural states and their fear is existential.  Some of these states become economic basket cases at the next recession.

Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser in the Trump administration who has repeatedly courted controversy by repeating conspiracy theories, in a new video appears to joke about using a gun on people in Washington.

Flynn makes the remark in a video where he is presented with an AR-15 rifle as a gift from an unidentified man on stage with the former top administration official.

He has a bounty on is head for conspiracy to assassinate Union Army officers.

Code word for DeSantis and the welfare bums

Biden Launches Anti-Communist Ad Campaign in Florida

DeSantis is you basic Latin American, tin horn dictator.



Congress and dignity, together, is delusional horse manure

Nancy Pelosi’s on her last legs: Devine
Nancy Pelosi used to point her angry finger at Donald Trump, but she leaves him for dust when it comes to busting norms, dividing Congress and causing mayhem. If anyone is to blame for the hyper-partisanship in Washington these days, it’s the spiteful House speaker.

She behaves more like a Mafia don waging a gang war than a dignified, fair and honest presiding officer, which is what the speaker’s role requires.

Nancy's ability to walk waist deep in Swamp turds is legendary. The only thing about her that I admire, and she will be walking the Swamp Sewage to her dying day.

She needs goodies for California and New York

Senate Republican 'not happy' with Pelosi plan to delay infrastructure vote
Republican Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio), the lead GOP negotiator on infrastructure, said Sunday that he is “not happy” about Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) plan to delay a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure deal until a larger reconciliation package is passed.

“The infrastructure bill has nothing to do with the reckless tax-and-spend extravaganza that she's talking about. ... So, no, I’m not happy with what she said because it's inconsistent with the agreement that we have on a bipartisan basis,” Portman told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.”

California is not doing infrastructure and New York wants compensation for lost tax base.  This is a revenue sharing issue, pure and simple.  

Send me a fat check and I will support Nancy, otherwise this has no real satisfying outcome.  I have resigned myself for a Nixon Shock, the issue is too difficult for the system as it is.

"The challenge is, Martha, you got folks who want to make big, bold statements but sometimes don't want to roll up their sleeves, get into the details and make the very hard choices about where we find these pay-fors."

Most of the Swamp is on Fed welfare as it is.  The idea that the Senate is paying for this from IRS tax income is hogwash. It is being paid for with Fed tax income, seigniorage fees, and the Senate is pretending to a delusion.

More than half the population is now living below the poverty line, with barely enough money to buy basic necessities, including food and medicine.

Xi Ping Pong has internal imbalances rising

Xi Jinping's Himalayan misadventure
Xi’s muscular revisionism is apparently driven by his belief that China has a strategic window of opportunity that it must seize before it closes. This may explain Xi’s fiery speech during the CCP’s recent centenary celebrations, when he warned foreign forces that they would “crack their heads and spill blood” if they tried to prevent China’s rise.

Internal demands are goring, especially the bailouts.  So he is grasping at external conquests to pay off the growing debt burden.  Too much aggregation and there ids an army of regional CCP heads who want those resources for local use. He is fucking up, doesn't know how to hold on to power.

Her threat isn’t aimed at them, I realize. They’re not part of the reconciliation process. This is Pelosi talking to Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema and warning them that if they think they’re going to pull a bait-and-switch, in which Biden signs the bipartisan bill and then the two suddenly lose their appetite for the reconciliation bill, forget it. The bills are a package deal. And they’re not taking Manchin’s and Sinema’s word for it when they cross their hearts and promise they’ll do a “human infrastructure” bill after the bipartisan bridges-and-roads bill passes.

Mish: It was supposedly going to be short-term everywhere. It wasn't.

Who really thought it was temporary? No foolish monetary theory would predict this as temporary. Nor did any of the traders mentions in the press.

Translated:

The socialist thing to do is send AOC down there and negotiate the opening of tourism. If we did that then us anarchists have one more beach to hang out. A much better idea than making a huge mess of side effects.

As a bonafide rebel I should express my opinion



Federal authorities have charged a father and son duo, both of whom served as police officers, with allegedly being among the people who joined Proud Boys members in storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

According to a superseding indictment unsealed Friday, authorities have charged 51-year-old Kevin Tuck and his son, 29-year-old Nathaniel Tuck, with multiple crimes, including obstruction of an official proceeding and disorderly and disruptive conduct.

The two were arrested in Tampa, Fla. and were released on a $25,000 bond Thursday, The Washington Post reported.

These two nuts had the only government job they could get and are otherwise unskilled Floridians. From the same state where Rick Scott was handing out machine guns to child killers. The same state where DeSantis wanted to run over helpless Cubans.  I don't consider authoritarian nutcases to be good anarchists.

But this DeSantis is not a bright bulb and neither are his followers, but he wants to be our tin horn dictator. He is nothing but a socialist bum, like Rick Scott.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she and other House progressives would “tank” a bipartisan infrastructure bill unless Senate Democrats also pass a sweeping tax and spending measure to carry out priorities on climate change and social programs.

“House progressives are standing up,” Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, said Thursday during a virtual town hall event. “We will tank the bipartisan infrastructure bill unless we will also pass the reconciliation bill.”


Ocasio-Cortez and her allies have the means to carry out that threat. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi can afford to lose no more than four Democratic votes to get the $579 billion infrastructure plan passed in her chamber.

And the ten year yield below 1.3 while oil stuck below 73.  I think China is exporting deflation again.

Biden Team Weighs Digital Trade Deal to Counter China in Asia 
The deal could set out standards for the digital economy, including rules on the use of data, trade facilitation and electronic customs arrangements, according to another person. It also would show the Biden administration is interested in pursuing new trade opportunities after spending its first months focused more on enforcing existing deals than advancing negotiations with the U.K. and Kenya that were inherited from the Trump administration.

Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity

The United States faces persistent and increasingly sophisticated malicious cyber campaigns that threaten the public sector, the private sector, and ultimately the American people’s security and privacy. The Federal Government must improve its efforts to identify, deter, protect against, detect, and respond to these actions and actors.

He will not be able to separate these two.  The Asians know all too well that Biden supports NSA spying. NSA spying generates ransomware. The Asians want neither.  This will not be resolved, a resolution is beyond the capability of the Swamp.

Democrats confident their plans are coming together

The Hill forgot to add 'seems' to their title. They just repeat the talking point with no real insight.

The Dems, in fact, are nervous as hell that their new initiative will gum up the whole budget process.

Jerry's back!

Meanwhile, his predecessor and fellow Democrat Jerry Brown poked a hole in Newsom’s budget bubble by calling the state’s spending “not sustainable” in an interview with NBC News Los Angeles. Brown also worried out loud about the federal government going into debt and spending “wildly.”

“We need a more frugal, sustainable, prudent way of doing business. I would predict, certainly within two years, we’re going to see fiscal stress,” he said — a prediction potentially reinforced by figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Labor Department. The Consumer Price Index, a key measure of inflation, jumped 5.4% in the year through June — marking the biggest rise since 2008.

With a few comments, he has raised the political IQ about twenty points.

The Trump administration said Mexicans are not welcome, where is the ourage?

National Review, failing to read their own headlines. They are like Reason magazine, unable to connect dots. David Harsanyi  is the current idiot. Does NRO recruit these authors from stupid school?

Plus, the NRO failed to notice that DeSantis plans to send cars plowing through every Cuban in Miami.

Default is coming

 

This S/L ratio will not hold. The Fed spent 12 years bailing out the government sector.  MMT is the better solution if we could dump all the political hoopla that comes with it.

Secession talk is back and with it comes default

 

Mostly the South and flyover country.

Trumpsters will be making a big comeback in the election. The only catch is DeSantis' plans to kill all the Cubans.

And secession include default:

Guv De Santis mass murdering Cubans in Florida


Ron DeSantis' Anti-BLM Protests Law Backfires With Cuban American Protests
On April 29, 2021, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an "anti-riot" bill into law in the wake of civil unrest that took place with George Floyd in 2020. The bill states that protestors could be arrested if a gathering could be considered a riot. Also, deems blocking a freeway as a felony and gives full immunity to persons who drive through protestors that are blocking a roadway.

Cuban bodies flying everywhere as  pro-communist cops in Miami plow through the crowds.  Guv Abbot of Texas sends mass murdering NRA nuts to kill hundreds more. De Santis vows to kill every Cuban in Florida.

Repubs seem to be about the stupidest politicians around. They make Kamala seem a brilliant in comparison.

Xi Ping Pong has a problem

 

The largest investment bank is plunging, and a Twitter account says more China banks have this problem.

Belt and suspenders isn't working, and trashing Hong Kong is not helping, nor are the Taiwan threats. Nor  the is the attack against tech.  

Hence the easing on reserves.

My vote needs at least a four figure check

Hill:
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Budget Committee Democrats, led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), have reached a deal on a $3.5 trillion price tag for a Democratic-only infrastructure package.

Schumer, emerging from an hours-long meeting with Budget Committee Democrats, said they had reached a deal on the budget resolution — which greenlights reconciliation, the process Democrats will use to bypass a GOP filibuster on the infrastructure bill — including a $3.5 trillion top-line figure. President Biden is going to meet with Senate Democrats on Wednesday as Democrats work to lock down support for the deal.

There better be a personal stimmie check for individuals otherwise this will look like yet another California bailout.

Just another welfare bum from Texas

HillTexas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) is being mocked on Twitter after he slammed Democratic lawmakers for leaving the state to deny Republicans in Austin a quorum, with many pointing to the incident earlier this year when Cruz flew to Mexico as Texas was being battered by extreme winter weather.

I think Abbot is planning a mass shooting and the quorum issue is a red herring.
