Joe Biden has his own Kamala Trump

Kamala's Latest Word Salad Is Just 50 Shades of Painful to Watch

And to think that the Biden White House actually believes she’s going to be an asset on the campaign trail ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

Joe has been trying to dump the gal somewhere since the election.  Even the Californians are beginning to regret the choice.   

Trump is more nutty than usual

He is flapping like a wounded duck.

Ruskie spraying the pixel dust

Some one squeezed their little plastic jar at the peace meetings.   I suspect the defense minister had a whiff. 

Everyone should stay away, like forty feet, of any Ruskie. They are like belt bombing Sunnis, you never know.  Would you go to a meeting with Putin knowing he has this hand held powder puff?

Ron DeSantis is gay

‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

The driving impulse for Wannabe, Latin American dictators is their fear of coming out of the closet.  I have this on good authority, take it as truth. The disease is related to NRA castration anxiety.  

That escalated quickly

Here's what's in Biden's $5.8 trillion budget proposal — and what's next

I now have to use 6T for my back of the envelope.

Putin's great blunder

 His army of the west, collapsed and becoming Ukrainian citizens. His army of the east caught in a pincer. Gateway t the Crimea opened back to Ukraine. Internal supply chain shut by sanctions. Putin's command chain broken from defense minister missing to most of the line generals killed. Putin has lost the war.

Russia hasn't the logistics, they are a smaller economy hen California and their eastern republic foreign to white Russia. Their demographics suck, they have been hammered by covid and still are. Russia is lost, and resorting to the mongol hordes does not help.

It is the former



Either America is intercepting sensitive Kremlin communications or Putin’s circle is leaking like a sieve:

The US is intercepting communications. But the Ukrainians are claiming they have spies.  The intent is to make Putin more paranoid, drive him nuts. 


That is a big whoops for Vlad

In fact, many of those who helped secure Chechens’ fierce reputation during the first (1994–1996), and second (1999–2009) Chechen wars are now fighting not for, but against Russia in Ukraine.

Two Chechen volunteer battalions have fought against Russian-backed separatists and regular Russian forces in the Donbas since 2014, the Sheikh Mansur and Dzhokhar Dudayev battalions. Most of their fighters fled Russia after the fall of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, the de facto independent government that controlled Chechnya between the two wars.

One take away

 

5 takeaways from Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court hearing 
GOP senators launch salvos on "critical race theory," criminal sentencing and representing Guantanamo inmates.

The Federal judiciary is a chaotic mess in any event.  I would write it off and use it only for quotas.  Anything short of a turnip cannot make more chaos. 

Belarus blundering into its own civil war

Belarusian military could 'soon' join war in Ukraine, US and NATO officials say

Putin's little  Italy is on edge already. This move will split their army. They have a Kamala Trump in charge.

Ruskie seems to be losing

 Latest reports have them pushed back, surrounded, or barely hanging on.  Putin is losing the game of logistics.  Putin is becoming a shadow in Russia as a losing logistics regime dominate.

Nightmare on curve street

 Ten year hits 2.31, and  it inverted. And oil won't stay down, it hits 113. We are looking like something might jam up.

Monday, March 21, 2022

Watching the ten year yield hit 2.23%

And oil at 110.

I suspect that Congress goes to sudden stop if that yield goes to 2.5.  The economy is slowing, not recessing. The 110 oil price barely tolerable.  The real weight, this time, are the impact of all this on public sector.  

This slow down will be about a bunch of local governments having budget emergencies. A long grinding stagnation as we work through the COLAs, pensions, hiring along with painful tax battles. Just a long pain in the ass.

Sowing the seeds of doubt

Kremlin insiders are plotting to remove Vladimir Putin by poisoning him, a Ukrainian intelligence body has claimed.

According to the Chief Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, a "group of influential" members of the "Russian elite" have hatched a plan aimed at toppling the president.

The goal of this group is to remove Putin from power as soon as possible and restore economic ties with the West.

According to the intelligence brief, the powerful insiders are dismayed at the impact the war and subsequent sanctions have had on the Russian economy.

The Ukrainian intelligence service claims that a successor to Putin has already been chosen in the form of FSB director Oleksandr Bortnikov.

The man is paranoid enough that this will drive him nuts.

Lost in the wilderness



WASHINGTON
The Russian military was largely stalled in its attempted advance in Ukraine on Monday and made little progress over the weekend, a senior U.S. defense official said.

The official also said the Russians have not taken total control of the airspace. The official said all of the Russian military forces that had been arrayed around the country are now inside, and that the Russians still retain about 90% of their combat capabilities. The official said there are no indications the Russians are trying to bring in reinforcements.

That ruskie column hat dispersed has not been hear of for three days.  They do not have the provisions to stay away from supply for more than a week. Morale was low, supplies short when they dispersed. Their comm is broken, individual units on their own. Not enough fuel for any coordinated move.

That is a flattening curve!

 Five year treasury, 2%; ten year 2.03%.

Now we have 2.12 on the ten year, and oil took a dump back near 100.  This is likely the Swamp doing two things, having a COLA spiral and sudden war costs. So foreign holders were willing to buy less oil and hold more dollar against the willingness of the American tax payer.

Taxes do rise with wage spirals, but they lag. And we expense another wage spiral from the government sector next year.  This is likely a seer hangover on government sector, almost the tnire stimulus wiped out in inflationary spirals. The government sector has legal requirements to adjust prices up, never down.

Oil is still not the problem, though I never anticipated 100 oil. I got black swanned on that prediction due to Putin. But I do not see a sudden oil shock. The talk of gas prices, today, comes with talk of Texas oil production.  This is new, this is the bit that is different. Having a marginal oil surplus when needed is a shock absorber.

Why not Pence?

 

Barr calls progressives 'dangerous,' indicates he could support Trump in presidential rematch

“Well, I think there are a lot of American people right now that might prefer having him back in office than Biden," he said.

Dems are stuck with a boatload of delusional Californians

PHILADELPHIA — Facing stiff headwinds in the midterm elections, House Democrats gathered in the city this week to plot their legislative future, recalibrate their campaign message and salvage a delicate majority that's at risk of dissolving in November.

The party's annual issues conference, staged in a snazzy hotel overlooking the Delaware River, brought roughly half of the 222-member caucus to the City of Brotherly Love in what was essentially an effort to prove history wrong. 

Starting with Kamala. They cannot overcome the blunders of the Cal teachers union which bankrolled Joe. 

Repuibs, cowardly, idiotic, welfare bums

Many Republicans seem quite happy—eager, even—to use Ukraine as a way to distance themselves from Trump. In normal times, many of them have had difficulty mustering the will to challenge the former president when they might want to, given how much political power he wields. But in this particular case, questioning the GOP figurehead is safe. On Ukraine, Trump has been out of step with most Americans.

Former California Rep. Devin Nunes' new job doesn't seem to be going well

The Politico story notes that many conservative politicians and commentators haven't posted much — if at all — on the new app, while several big names including Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani don't have verified accounts.

Nunes has maintained that the app is still in a soft-launch state, and will not be fully operational until late March. Politico reported that "nearly a dozen people in Trump circles" were "unable to name anyone else working on the app" besides Nunes.

Earmarks are the new digital currency



After an 11-year drought, congressional earmarks are back with vengeance.

The $1.5 trillion, 2,741-page omnibus spending package is loaded with funding for lawmaker pet projects, some of which could help incumbents in this fall’s elections.

The legislation includes more than 4,000 earmarks, according to a list of projects provided to The Hill by a Senate Republican aide that spanned 367 pages.

Taxes are heading in the other direction as California slows under the highest energy costs of any state. We are getting a government collapse out here in the west.

Putin will concede Kiev but wants to keep part of the east

 Putin got the word, the logistics in Russia collapse before the three weeks needed to get supplies to Kiev. This is boiling down to a typical Ruskie land grab. But Putin has seen his domestic limits, he has less than three weeks.

NATO runs the Ukrainian supply chain

U.S. European Command is working with the U.K. to provide “logistical nodes in different places that will be able to call forward flights and deliveries at the moment we’re able to get them across the border and into the hands” of the Ukrainians, he said. The collaboration is aimed at making sure “we’ve got single channels that are easy for Ukrainians to engage with, as well as for our allies.”

A defacto NATO war with non-NATO ally doing the fighting. This supply chain is deep and Putin bungled badly. 

He means Trump and Tucker

Pence: No room in GOP for 'apologists for Putin'

Putin's palace satraps claim innocence

 They all thought Putin was bluffing.

Reading between the spy vs spy dialogue, a bunch of Putin local rulers were fooled, so it is claimed. In the backdrop are the Ukrainians hinting a spies in the Putin Palace, and visa versa.  Putin has the inner circle, his uniformed offer set.  Ukrainians hint at a spy in that group.  

\Putin's economy is built around the satraps, mostly the oligarchs. He needs them for logistics, but according to stories, all the satraps where shocked at sanctions.   Now Putin wants them back in central planning mode as markets have vanished.  Way to late for command and control to salvage the logistics problem.

A consensus reached: Trump is a friggen idiot.

Slavery




8,000 YEARS AGO, 17 WOMEN REPRODUCED FOR EVERY ONE MAN
"4,000 to 8,000 years after humanity invented agriculture,"

This came with the rise of kingdom states, writing, and agriculture. The first labor markets were slave states. Slave holder princes like to separate men and women slaves.

Move her anywhere away from the Swamp

The White House is actively discussing sending Vice President Harris to Warsaw, Poland, and Bucharest, Romania, in the coming days to show solidarity with Ukraine as it faces an escalating Russian invasion, sources familiar with the conversations tell The Hill.
