Lunch Kills, Friday Jobs, Rain, Eclipse

by

I have to stop eating lunch.  And this time it’s not just the scale speaking.

See, what happened was I looked at the market Thursday, thought (based on method) “This is a cheeseburger set-up!” and promptly laid in 1,300 shares of my favorite short index 3X ETF.  In other words, head went into the noose and Executed @ $8.755 Apr 04, 2024 1:19 PM ET.

Then I got hungry.  “Well, I will just put on an insurance sell order…if it hits my first target, there’s a risk of a bounce and why not lock in a few fries for a cheeseburger…”  A key part of my method (which has cost untold thousands to learn, is “Never leave a trade on if you don’t have eyes on the market.”

Lunch was great.  Delicious, as always.  Elaine and I talked for a while… Suddenly, it hit me:  “I need to get back over to the office, dear.  I have a trade on and I don’t want to hit the sell order…”

It was too Late: Sell order?  Sell 1300 Executed @ $8.85.

On the surface, it didn’t look too bad.  A little quick math, if you don’t play Texas Hold ‘Em Markets:  That the Sell price ($8.85) minus the entry price (8.755) and then multiply the results time the number of shares.

I made $123.50 while sipping cream of mushroom soup, a few crackers and cheese, and a nice conversation.  “What do you have to complain about?”

Here’s now Lunch Kills:  When the market promptly took off on the downside, that 3X ETF closed Thursday at $9.28.

Here: Let me walk you through the math before I tear up and whine some more:  9.28 – 8.755 = .525 per share.  Times 1,300?  $682.50.  

Of which, I grabbed only 18.1 percent of a much bigger move.

Three simple takeaways:

  1. Lunch kills.  Profits.  I keep coming back to the key learning (of method) which is never turn your back on the market when you have a trade on.
  2. George’s Method works.  Yeah, I’ve gotten pretty good at picking entry points for market moves…warms my heart,
  3. But George is an Idiot.  And this is why he only trades his own account, only trades ETFs. and never offers financial advice (other than “Don’t be an Idiot like George – skip lunch or do send out.”).

One for the Road?  Sure.  If Biden is so willing to forgiven “official student loans” why won’t his administration cash out tax-loss carryforwards for dim-witted traders (like me) who Paid Tuition to learn trading rules that don’t get covered in school?  We would be somewhat better off today if 10’s of thousands of tax losses could have just gone away long ago, rather than being consumed all too slowly against gains…

“It’s OK though,” offered my consigliere.  “Never regret profits you didn’t get because that will kill you.”  He’s been a recovering day trader for years.

All of which, notwithstanding, I’d been tempted to put the gains into vodka instead of cheeseburgers. However vodka is too easily turned into a different sort of IED along the narrow path of Life.  Which leaves us knowing that there’s some point to all this… But is this The DUDE’s idea of comedy, or what?

Bye-Bye the Numbers, Side of Astro

It may bleed in from around the edges of perception that there is a major eclipse Monday.  Which means – well – we’re not sure what for markets.

Still, the Futures seem likely (before the jobs report, anyway – which we will get to in a second) to rally some today.  In our charts (there are 19 of these served up on the Peoplenomics subscription side twice a week) the Future is still sliding into place.

If you’re new around here, we use an index of our own creation called the Aggregate Index.  It’s based on a specific equal dollar weighting of other indices.  We do this because a) we don’t want to infringe even remotely on the fine work of Messrs.’ Dow, S&P, or ‘Daq.  But the main reason is that there is “Only so much money in the world” and the more accurate economic outlooks can be ascertained when “all the money lands” for the weekend.  Which is why the PN Charts Saturday are of such keen interest.

The freebies this morning is a sampler or three charts.

First:  An Elliott wave view.  If you don’t know what “Elliott” is, back to school for you. Bob Prechter’s Elliott Wave International is a good starting point.

Using our Aggregate work, here’s where we MAY be right now:

Notice the blue down arrow.  This helps us keep our time-orientation right when jumping around multiple charts.  For example, in this Elliott and Trend channel view, notice where the blue “time arrow” is and this will help you zoom into the correct “mental scaling” of what’s we’re looking at:

(N0te to self: Slide time arrow left a bit before PN charts lock Saturday.)

Before we get into the Astro, let’s recognize that market prices are a complex stew based on many (interacting) variables.

One we find useful and have dabbled a bit in, is the notion that market prices depend on the time degradation of human memory.  That is, you are more likely to remember “burning your hand on a hot stove” two days ago more intensely than if the hot schooling was administered tweo weeks ago.

And this is, using “pain or gain” instead of heat, exactly what we look for in the differential moving average view:  Two-day old pain is much more memorable.

There is some degree of hysteresis, involved.  Just as it takes your body some time to react to, oh, smashing your thumb with a hammer, so too, markets need time to pull back from stupidly over-priced levels.

The second point is that Economics Matters – some.

Yes, we’re still getting to the Jobs report, but this is more important to know, really! Economics has everything to do with the money flow in (or out) of the Casino.  But the table action is different (offset) from the door traffic.

Yes, jobs matter (slowly, over time, even with stupid open borders) and sure, making up money matters, too, because that will increase average bet size iu rhw3 Casino.  And there is regular periodicity to the markets based on quarters and bonus pools and…all the rest of it.

Astro Clocking is little studied, but very Heavy.

My consigliere is a believer in the “off planet clocking” aspect of trading. He says there’s just too damn much predictability to it.  Which then gets us into the work of Legends.  One (now retired) is Arch Crawford whose calls for market declines have been handed down as gold from older traders to younger.

And then there’s Stephen Puetz work.  He discovered some “heavenly relationships” that involve both solar and lunar eclipses.  A lot of work on the Puetz cycle has disappeared from the web (buried by the social media scam).  But here’s a post from 2016 which is still up that gets into the basics. From this, we point out this “quote of a quote” to help you anticipate the rest of the month:

“He (Puetz) emphasized that he is not contending that full moons close to solar eclipses cause market crashes. But he does conclude that a full moon in general and a lunar (eclipse) full moon close to solar eclipses, in particular, seem to be the triggering device that allows for the rapid transformation of investor psychology from manic greed to paranoia. He asks what the odds are that eight of the greatest market crashes in history would accidentally fall within a time period of six days before to three days after a full moon that occurred within six weeks of a solar eclipse? His answer is that for all eight crashes to accidentally fall within the required intervals would be .23 raised to the eighth power less than one chance in 127,000.”

OK, now we need to look at some astronomicals:

  • 2024 Mar 25: penumbral Lunar Eclipse.
  • 2024 Apr 08: Total Solar Eclipse.
  • 2024 Sep 18: partial Lunar Eclipse.

If you were snoozing in astronomy, penumbral means? “The partial shadow surrounding a perfect shadow.”

What we don’t know (for sure and certain) is whether penumbrals count in Puetz work.

We think they do (*or might) because the next full moon comes along April 23rd.  And so, if the shit really hits the fan April 19-21, there is reason to be ready for a serious break to the downside in the period because the Puetz window is now open.

Wide.

On to the Jobs Report

Market futures were set to rally a bit. Because there is still a cacophony of whistling in the graveyard about odds the Fed will actually drop rates this year.  Let’s look at the numbers being touted today.  Hype, anyone?

“Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 303,000 in March, and the unemployment rate changed little at 3.8 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job gains occurred in health care, government, and construction.”

What the database says:

What the Mat Says:  Jobs were up 498-thousand.  We need a collapse in order to get a cut at these levels.

As we have told you (repeatedly, repeatedly) what matters to the economy is the total number of people employed because those people are “working for tax revenue” which – when your public debt is $34,604,337,792,885.31 actually matters a great deal.

Of course, we have no insights into what impact illegal immigration has on Fed Logic. Because we haven’t found too many papers. Though Edelberg and Watson at The Hamilton Project is pretty good.

CES Birth-Death data?

So even the CES numbers missed a visit to the political air brush department.

Quick: write this down (noticing our view is similar to CES today):

“Reality makes strange bedfellows.”   (Yes, you can quote me.)

Gee, I know: ” Um…I dunno… a 15-page read of a useful econ paper, pondering CES, or spend the time on Facebook…”

(If that’s a hard choice, there’s a reason you’re not rich! My deflationist pal Jas Jain labels most Americans “Born and bred dopes” with some basis in fact!)

Speaking of Which:  The “Groupthink” in the financial bubble is that the economy could do so perfectly that the Fed might not be able to to lower rates thrice this year. “Might only be able to do two…”

As this morning’s report has rolled along, you should begin to have an uneasy dawning going on.  Might be voiced as “Oh, shit, what if the markets were to all unload like a sonofabitch this spring into Summer…”

Yeah – what IF some George-level thinker in the Fed ranks has already run the Puetz Collapse odds.  Is it possible the Fed could drop a couple of points at the April 30 or the June 11-12 meeting if the markets are in absolute free fall on the end of Globalism coming with a Bang?

I mean there’s this whole air of gradualism and that’s the stuff of legend.  And this – since famine is a key part of any good cyclical Depression – you don’t think slow Joe energy policy and flowing up global trade wouldn’t slip right in to fill out the historical template for such times?

A 2022 Lars von Thienen note on this site notes that…

“The next cyclical pattern which is seen at financial panics is the so called “Puetz crash window”. According to that pattern, all US crashed had the same important 6-weeks-window signature around a solar eclipse. According to that pattern a panic begins near a full moon that occurs within 6-weeks of a solar eclipse.”

Since we ain’t “crashing yet” we will sum up with a very simple reminder.

“The next full moon will be on Tuesday, April 23 at 7:49 p.m. EDT (2349 GMT)”

G.A. Stewart’s Nostradamus work might arrive in tandem with projections from Armstrong, High, and others (like our work) all in the same window. Not saying it will, but I won’t be taking lunch on the next short-side setup.

Sadly, here in East Texas, we are due to get 2-inches of rain at eclipse time.

Middle East:

  1. Too many temp adds and pop ups. Imagine I was a new reader? Click! Gone.

    George?your site displays as a scrolling bar under the ads. I can read a single line at a time. FYI.

    • Not to mention the jewelry video ad that covers the entire screen for the duration of the video, then has to be closed by the viewer to continue reading.
      EXTREMELY irritating.

    • Would this be a good time to mention that Blinken is George Soros’ cousin (a couple generations removed…)

      I can almost hear the tumblers falling in place, in George’s readership, as certain things begin to make sense…

  3. IMO move the money you missed on that trade to the WTTP (worth twice the price) column. The price paid for lunch with Elaine is worth twice that amount? Damn straight. Besides, I bet you’ll make that up in future trades.
    Stay safe. 73

      • As well as can be expected. Sis called this morning telling us they came in mid bone marrow biopsy yesterday to tell her she tested positive for a cold so she would be put off until she gets 2 negative tests and she will still have to go through the biopsy again. Sis lives in AZ and the VA hosp there is about 45 minutes away where they have cancer treatment facilities. She tried to convince me that going to Seattle for treatment is the best because her Dr said so. When I asked why not Texas which is just as far and most parts of the state aren’t stupid I didn’t get the answer I was looking for. Yes, I am not a Doctor, just a grouchy opinionated old rancher.
        Diana and I are fine. MyChart is on the back burner for now. She is a little weepy today. She said sis told her last night one of her doctors told her to tell me I need to tell my Dr about her in case it’s hereditary. Sheesh.
        Thanks for asking and thanks to all for the prayers. They are certainly appreciated.
        Stay safe 73.

        • I have had the bone marrow test..that sucks big time..my heart and prayers go out to her and the whole family..

      • …how much I would give to have a lunch with my beloved Eda — she’s now with God (I hope.).

        By the by, when I got up, the guy on the radio was saying we had small quake in the West NC Hills this morning. (Under 2.0 — 1 point something…)

        • I hear you on that one William.. your in my prayers as well.. I would be lost without my little woman.. she is the one that is my alternate ego.. my stability in this insane world.. nothing I enjoy more than sitting on the veranda enjoying a cup of coffee and a few laughs.. a cup of fine wine in the evening as the moon rises above the horizon..

  4. “what impact illegal immigration has on Fed Logic.”

    Reagan called so-called ‘illegal (adjectives)’ “illegal tourists” working or ‘work tourists’ and wondered about the “fuss”. Most everyone loved the Gipper so maybe we shouldn’t fuss.

    Moreover, I guess the logic behind Fed numbers can be compared to town merchants extending lines of credit to the adult townsfolk and once the credit lines are maxed the town merchants then open lines of credit to the townschildren since they receive allowances/odd jobs income.

    Eventually the children figure out hiring their peers from the next town over as work tourists makes their margins look better to the town merchants allowing them to finance more so they do it. All the while the town merchants are buying manufactured goods on credit from the adult townsfolk so business is good all the way around.

    Of course the children’s income is a subset of the townsfolk’s total combined income and the merchants set themselves up for BK by overextending themselves to the town but all the individual debtors look good in the spreadsheet until the day of reconcile so everyone keeps extending credit. But does there have to be a day of reconcile? Just keep extending the books.

    “Iran threats toothless? ”

    Compare Iran to the J6 rioter supporters and Israel to .gov.

    We hear some constituents grumble over the J6’ers being jailed, for years now but the grumblers don’t dare step up to the plate and fight the power to free the J6’ers because down in their cockles the grumblers know a win isn’t guaranteed but the first few waves of grumblers are guaranteed to be shot dead. So the grumblers pretend they have power by grumbling. They may even further express power by vote but their choices are from the same leadership pool who didn’t defend them the first time. But they’re doing something and can continue grumbling unscathed.

    But maybe I have it wrong.

    • Well, you don’t have it ALL right on Reagan, you left a BIG part out about those friendly fire tourist (working or freeloading) illegal aliens.

      And the BIG agreement made between him and the Demoncrap party which, of course, that Demoncrap party promptly lied about and never followed through.

      Another AMNESTY is coming.

      One for the United States Citizenry so they can FORGET how they are getting Fkd.

      And second for those illegal touristy aliens.

      Guess who is the winner?

      • Generally I would say a larger monster is needed to save the current system. We’re basically nearing the crossroads of World .gov and Subsistence Farming. Most folks will want to turn left on World Road and not right down Subsistence Farming Lane.

  5. Yo Homegamers,

    You feel that just now ? Been shaking for like 15 seconds, yea thought I was really stroking it there…nerp EARTHQUAKE. Oh well outcome still the same, ravished and drained and put away wet. East coast quakes are rare events – NJ ?
    I would take a 500 mile radius and put that area under watch..for what you might wonder, again I dont know shit, put I do know NRG is acting up/out..someting coming into focus in that area..

    Head on swivel, but no itch in index finger, so heightened awareness – as someting new about to come into vue.

    keep it frosty, Timeline is a changing -its party time,lets dance ! https://youtu.be/QdbLirsZ_4Q?si=ky2WN2iwCiohTX2T

  6. I have a very good winning trade yesterday – jumped in just as the market stalled and rode the 520 point drop all the way down. [ I didn’t go to lunch – misses brought me a couple of her chicken enchiladas, covered with my spicy salsa verde & homemade refried beans.]
    .
    I have a very sneaky suspicion that we are missing something here [ news wise.] There is so much misinformation flying about, being chased by fear mongering and doom-procrastination., that everything has become suspect., which is somehow throwing a very dark shadow on what is about to occur.
    “Leaking” misinformation is a great tactic / ploy but it is now being used by everyone, all the time., every day – that it is becoming useless.
    – I do not believe for a moment that Israel is down-playing the possibility of an attack from Iran [ or any of it’s proxy- armies.] .., not for a second. Idiots they may be., but not fools. But I can’t figure out why they would say that? Lull the sheep into a momentary respite, so when the attack comes it will be / appear even more horrendous, thus whipping-up a bonified / certified national, kill-them-all frenzy ?
    I am missing something in all of this. Mexico is threatening the U.S. ? Seriously ? Where, exactly, did NK get the technology for hypersonic missiles? ., and why aren’t we sanctioning, or bombing the hell out of them for doing so!?
    The list of “WTF!” is incredibly long and growing. There may be some good in this world, and it is worth fighting for., but the bad has overshadowed & overtaken the mindset of world population. And there are way too many players on the field – someone needs to throw a flag.
    Maybe it’s because I have run out of fu*ks., but I don’t believe a damn thing I read anymore. Which is not a wise place to be – one of them could actually be, or become true.

    • (“I have a very sneaky suspicion that we are missing something here [ news wise.] There is so much misinformation flying about, being chased by fear mongering and doom-procrastination.”)

      I just heard from the wife of a friend of mine and family members.. She put me up to speed on what was going on that she knew of that isn’t just a rumor.. there is a lot that I cannot say that no one is hearing about that from my perspective is quite scary to me. the closest you can get it is with monkeywerx on youtube..

      https://youtu.be/hHoGDXj0xPc?si=FDYP2_OYmU0kbH45

    • (“Where, exactly, did NK get the technology for hypersonic missiles? ., and why aren’t we sanctioning, or bombing the hell out of them for doing so!?”)

      Hmm.. where did they get the information.. I have thought for the last three years that we are being played in the poison pawn trap that possibly the administration was bought off by other countries to fill their greed and put the world on a collision course of destruction.. and that Kim in NK would be the one to ignite it all.. we tried to have him eliminated several times to gain his natural resources…. each time they failed.. and now that we are dumping our strategic reserves.. we have what seventeen days left of our fuel reserves.. and the president said he was not going to refill it..

      https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-admin-cancels-plan-to-refill-emergency-oil-reserve-amid-high-prices

      our military is out on eight fronts.. and an open border to countries that swore vengeance by sending in warriors posing as refugees. human slave traders and child traffickers drug lords etc…
      Our whole infrastructure is at the failing grade and our whole grid is extremely vulnerable to collapse.. all because we bought the business model..of stuff big buck billies pockets..
      toss in a crop failure this summer and we are then screwed big time.. most of our commodities are manufactures elsewhere.. and our kids are dumbed down to make room for the business model..
      we are so screwed.. just bend over and spread your cheeks its coming.. not even considering the fall of the dollar.. take the vulnerability of the dollar bill and the increase in deficit by a trillion every three months.. good lord.. I just about soiled myself thinking about it.. that is all information that we can find anywhere .. they aren’t hiding it.. just people are to stressed to see it..and the democratic party members are just to stupid to admit it..
      ever wonder about old fanny.. she brought up the race card again.. NOW think about that.. how devastated they are because three hundred years ago some chief sold the tribes men and women that they had conquered into slavery..
      YET…
      she is going all out to destroy the one that is trying to stop that kind of action again with the refugees being sold into slavery prostitution drug trafficking and allowing it to happen in the USA by an administration that has opened the borders to that kind of activities…. and then working for the ones that are saying that those things are good to be happening.. so will her families ancestors be forced to pay for this.. what a situation that is painting up to be..
      When it lites up.. it will be sudden and on several fronts.. at one time..
      Lets let gunny say it…

    • “Maybe it’s because I have run out of fu*ks., but I don’t believe a damn thing I read anymore. Which is not a wise place to be – one of them could actually be, or become true.”

      Right there with you.

      The hell of it is, I’m beginning to run out of places where I can check or verify stuff, because even the obscure foreign press is becoming questionable and my contacts whose paychecks are paid by taxpayers are either retired now, or getting close (and don’t want to cross the commies with high GSA numbers.)

      I’m starting to think the best course of action may eventually be to unplug and trust eyes instincts in just the physical world around us, ‘lest we go mad from the BS and gaslighting propaganda.

      • I hear you on that.. even scanning all the newspapers world wide.. I find its hard to tell which is propaganda and what is true.. conflicting reports all over and everyone I use to know has either retired or passed on..making it even more difficult.. no one calling asking hey dex wanna hear a juicy tidbit.. or hey Poin listen to this.. ( depending on how old they are dex and poin were a couple of nicknames from a cartoon character )

  7. (“I keep coming back to the key learning (of method) which is never turn your back on the market when you have a trade on.”)

    Breakfast goodies.. an old friend of mine.. for years tried to talk me into going into the stock market.. he called one day.. he forgot to put the sell order in.. went for eggs and toast in a nearby town and his wife doing some shopping.. got home.. to discover he had made 65,000.00
    called me up all excited.. he was on top of the world.. NOW he had a section of land cows his home was paid for.. and his car paid for.. and a nice tidy nest egg.. plus the new 65,000.00
    I told him.. no way am I going to play that.. seen to many people get hurt that way.. he tried his damdest to talk me into playing the market.. I said that is for the big boys..
    Well strangely I didn’t hear from him for a couple of years.. I figured he had a lot of runs going on.. drove a route with a major mail carrier service and was making a hundred fifty a year driving.. busy busy busy..
    then one day.. his son calls me and says.. you need to talk to dad.. hes over the deep end.. whats going on.. He got to wrapped up in the market.. lost the farm lost the house lost the rental house.. lost the cows his retirement funds were gone he lost everything.. he was forced to move into the kids 14 by 70
    He lost everything playing the market.. so when I went to see him.. I said hey wanna buy some hot stocks.. LOL.. then we sat down and talked.. He no longer plays the market.. to dangerous… you have to have the necessary funds to cover what you gamble.. like the woman that inherited her home and cars a half million etc.. she was setup for life.. way back when a half million was worth something.. Lost it all and was living in the mission.. homeless shelter.. got a payday loan for one thousand dollars and a monthly payment of almost five hundred a month on the interest on that one thousand dollar loan.. she just was able to move into an apartment..Lost it all playing the one armed bandets.. I almost bought one.. to mount in the back of my beast.. my friend at the time said what for.. well hell she could actually make more from a machine I had and I would get her paycheck LOL LOL..
    But then when he said.. what if she turned you into the gaming commision.. well that killed that idea LOL LOL
    https://www.gamblerschoiceonline.com/shop/page/2/
    wow.. prices have sure gone up on them LOL.. use to be you could get them for a hundred bucks all day long.. there is one on ebay cheap.. at the time I thought dam bolt it in the back of the beast and let her dump her money in it..

  8. “everything has become suspect”

    “but I don’t believe a damn thing I read anymore. Which is not a wise place to be – one of them could actually be, or become true”

    I’ve recently been thinking the same…

    Is it all just a big game?

    • Of course it is. Has been since ancient Greece.., the problem now is that millions of lives are at stake., and all the governments are used to lying to themselves and their people, that there is no way to decern the truth., even right & wrong are being gray’d out.
      War breaks out, causing economic collapse and millions will starve to death., around the world. But let’s send another few billion to Ukraine.
      – I never did have any answers – above my pay grade.., but now even my questions have become mute., near meaningless.

      • I hear you..its getting really hard to know what information we are being told is true and I find myself feeling frustrated over what I am seeing..
        speaking about starving to death.. I am site over to get out the extruder and panner.. making some peanut flips. A neighbor is selling out and it would be the perfect time to do that put a bucket out for donations to save and repair the communities swimming pool..
        I’m not interested in making money doing this but the pool.. watching the kids and families enjoying the town pool and playground during the summer. that is priceless..
        the towns having troubles getting the fund’s to do the necessary repairs..
        I could also get an opportunity to show the kids how corn puffs is made..

    • Seattle just cleaned-up and fenced-in a large unused city parking lot. Over 60 parking spaces.., and turned it into a homeless car-camp.
      It took less than a day before all the spaces were filled. City sanctioned – living out of your car – homeless camp.
      – I have never heard of, or seen anything like it.

  10. We’re outside of the 48 hour window that the CIA said Iran would attack within. Also Mr. Market has closed.

    If Iran does attack now, I’d say they are controlled opposition minimizing damage Vs maximizing damage as a real enemy would. Discounting of course the NY area earthquake wasn’t done by Iran using ancient/hidden earthquake technology of course.

    • How can you be sure?

      Maybe Iran’s agents snuck into the warehouse where the US Government stored Tesla’s documents and various lab equipment after they seized it all and removed it upon his death. (a place similar to the Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse storage location). The US government stores so much stuff, thousands of acres of stuff, that they wouldn’t even notice that a few crates had been broken open and it’s contents pilfered.

      After Iran’s agents maybe helped the US Government with it’s Hoarding Problem then they may have fed those documents through the Google Translate Program to covert the documents to Farsi they could see what Tesla wrote.

      I am sure they would have taken special interest as to what teas he bought and the mixing ratio he utilized so as to create his fabulous morning drink, something that the Iranian Government really wanted since they feel that they need an Iranian competitor to Starbucks ….. and the entire point of breaking into the warehouse and helping the US Government with it’s Hoarding Problem .

      In the course of brewing up that new blend of tea possibly one of the scientists spilled his cup across the paperwork on the countertop and as he quickly used a towel to soak up the tea flowing across the counter he saw a file marked “How To Build An Earthquake Machine” “for Dummies” and the light bulb in the scientist’s brain came on as bright as 2 watt night light bulb high up in a theater loft.

      EUREKA!! so thought the Iranian Scientist, once he finished his tea, did the dishes, ran his errands that his wife had put on his daily to do list, and had watched some useless smuggled Porn Movie from Japan. Well maybe two useless smuggled Porn Movies from Japan.

      With that 2 watt light bulb in the theater loft burning brightly in his brain he went back to his lab, a month later, (wife needed a lot of errands run and of course any man knows those take precedence over work), and started reading page one of the “for Dummies” book. 5 years later he had finally put together the device that Tesla said could be built in a day (since it was so simple), turned it on, and gave it a try.

      VOILA … success!! a 6.0 EQ immediately happened which made the scientist happy that the machine worked … and only 7 died and 111 were injured. Sure the FAKE NEWS reports Iran put out said it was “natural” but the scientist and the Iranian Government knew better.

      Now to deploy that Earthquake Machine to use against the Evil Empire!!

      A target was chosen that would maximize the damage to that Evil Empire, one which would hit the psychic core of that Evil Empire’s most important location … rural New Jersey!!

      New Jersey the Promised Land of Overweight People, ala Chris Christy being a God Figure for the United States representing that Ideal, so that in a land filled with Obese People where Obeseness has been risen to an entire Religion, the people would have their religious convictions shaken to the core (pun intended).

      So now you know how the Earthquake that hit New Jersey yesterday probably came about and why such an event was intended to shake to the core (pun intended) the psychic of an entire country that celebrates Obeseness like no other place in the world (note: Lizzo, every American’s GODDESS) .

      Iran’s revenge has now been extracted. If the US or Israel continues on it’s present path BEWARE! That machine will be used again, and will be used to shake the physical core of the country, the Bad Lands of South Dakota, a place that once shaken will only leave standing the Good Lands of the United States.

      • I believe Starbucks coffee is the mix they use.. all coffee drinkers can tell ethiopian from island.. I like Pikes place.. I get there is a tad of ethiopian in it some columbian but mostly island coffee.
        Costco’s brand.. is island.. They have their own farm..so the store brand is pretty dang amazing..We usually get just Folgers..its cheaper.. three pounds for the cost of one so far..It has gone up almost forty percent in the last three and a half years. The K-Cups.. that is where the money is.. for a hundred twenty pack.. OH hey they went from one twenty to ninety..and raised the rates.. to over thirty.. so a cup of coffee in k cups is over thirty bucks a pound.. fifty to a dollar a cup..

      • Bullshit! Everybody knows the earthquake happened when Chris Christie tripped over a pile of McDonalds wrappers and fell to the ground.

    Folks,

    On Wednesday Hong Kong’s Centre for Health Protection confirmed a case of Virus B in a critically ill hospitalized patient. The source is believed to be a bite from a wild macaque monkey. There is no vaccine for the virus.
