Ouch! Day one after hernia surgery and a new idea hits: We’re looking at a “Trump Policy” for our websites. Don’t panic. I’m exploring aa proposed policy and putting out some ideas for subscriber-only for comment because they are really who we serve. There are only a few hundred of them. Point is, I want … Read More
After a 767 point Dow decline yesterday, it looks like the futures are turning around and we may see a bounce today. But the truth is, we may not be out of the woods and I will show you one THEORY as to why. Too early to trust happy-talk stories like Futures rebound after Wall … Read More
No, you can’t blame Donald Trump for the shooting in El Paso this weekend, nor can he be blamed for the one in Ohio, either. The facts, as they come out, make it clear that the shooter’s “manifesto” was not linked to Trump but to decades of Congressional inaction. And, though it will make them … Read More
Yeah, I know: Why not focus on Hong Kong? Can you do anything about it? On the other hand… The risk of a pandemic global people-killer is not something we like to think about. The good news, however, is that there is definitely a lot we can do about them. Which we’ll get to after … Read More
Woo-Woo Time: As you know, I’ve done a tremendous amount of research into topics that most people call “woo-woo.” In particular, I’m fascinated with bending space-time and “getting out of my head” being a prolific vivid dreamer. Vivid dreams are sensational (yes, with poor pun intended) but as I have just discovered in a revealing … Read More
Before we get into today’s Employment Situation report just out, a word or two about tomorrow’s Peoplenomics.com column. It has everything to do with “functional equivalents of famine.” Which matters today why? What tips a “recession” into a “Depression” is those “left field” something else’s that come along. There’s a list, but we think its … Read More

You can’t take it with you, but you don’t want to squander it, either. So this morning, driven in part by my getting a 12-lead EKG prior to an upcoming hernia operation, we will look at how to win playing the “Old People” Money Game when age creeps into the upper double-digits. There are a … Read More
Reader Note: Check back at 8:15 or so for the Housing report. Since there has been so much press lately about the alt.left and far.left crazies (like AoC with her ‘borrowed from Canada’ New Green Deal) how about we come up with something a bit more far-reaching and positive? By the way, Swing-state households would … Read More
It is an exceptionally (exponentially) busy week or two, so our morning reports will be (perhaps) shorter and more direct. We begin, sadly, with another mass murder. This time in Gilroy, California which is south of the South Bay. 32- miles, where this weekend was the “Garlic Festival.” Three people attending the festival, including a … Read More
GMAFB: The lefties and the the shambles of co-conspiring media are thrilled this Sunday that Donald Trump has referred to Baltimore, MD as a “rat infested mess.” Wherever there are people (and the more tightly-packed) the more of problem rats pose.

People in the South, near as I’ve discovered, don’t know exactly where the term “red-neck” came from. But, at least in this part of Texas, to be a “red-neck” is right up with being a coon-ass from Loozy-anna. It’s more honor than insult. Means you know a little something about self-reliance. Oh, sure, maybe escape … Read More

Damn curious that it disappeared on my, though… Even stranger, the graphics are where they should … Read More
