We consider charts today because resolution is upon us and always occurs.  Since we have a good bead on things now, speculation is in order.

There is, it seems, not very much reliable data for the average – non-statistician – to consider when deciding to get a vax shot or not.  UN-like the US CDC, however, the British have been much more clear (dare we say transparent?) in their reporting. For those keeping track, the latest is out in Week … Read More

Thank you for your service. For my brother in law and our many friends who served; a portion of whom paid the highest price. Me?  Never did a hitch.  U.S. Navy turned me down (*asthma and eczema).  So at age 19 I was instead a microwave tech rep on remote sites in Alaska.  Posh gig:  … Read More

  Been asked by a new subscriber to explain how Elaine and I came to Texas almost 20-years ago.  Pretty good tale, turns out.  Very Monty Python:  “And now for something completely different…” After all, why would a couple in their early 50s walk out on five of the hottest cities in the country? Seattle, … Read More

We assume you have been following this bullshit where the US Government’s Department of Justice has recommended $450,000 settlements per child (two children max for $900,000!!!!!)  to separated families – of illegal border jumpers – for their pain and suffering? Biden is now trying to back-pedal and ass cover.  See reports like Biden denies $450,000 … Read More

Let’s begin with who Joe’s tax and spend plan will hit hardest. New York, California, New Joisey. and Howahya? Reasonable (relatively speaking) states include Alaska, Florida, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. If America was really honest about taxes, the federal tax code of  73,954 pages long, with each carved out by crooks for … Read More

You may not be old enough to remember Joe Harnell’s catchy tune, Fly Me to the Moon (bossa nova), but fly me to the moon hyper-inflation is upon us.  As we read this morning from The Brandon Chronicles. Energy and Economic Fairytales One of our correspondents is a high-powered Century City legal practitioner.  Who sent us this … Read More

One of the keys to keeping my kitchen tile job in line was having the right tools.  A lot of weekend home-handy-bastards (and ‘ettes) get caught in the Project Trap. Like the “Triangle of Fire” (oxygen, fuel, ignition source). This fire triangle is an easy memory tool for K-12 school children to learn.  But, not … Read More

That’s short for Military Operations Other Than War.  And over the coming year (or three) it could be very useful to have not only a grip on basics of MOOTW, but also in the changes of “nation posture” ahead of such change at the systemic level. Of course, before we get into this, a few … Read More

Let’s talk about the Bubble we’re in first. As you know, on the subscriber side (Peoplenomics.com) we keep track of a broad-spectrum market indicator – the Aggregate Index.  Something really remarkable has been going on there. Just in the past week, this measure has climbed (Thursday to Thursday) from 40824.14 to  41754.78 at yesterday’s close. My point?  … Read More

The good news from the market’s perspective could hardly be better. The Fed meeting Wednesday with no change in rates, but they are taking a little money off the table.  While previously, they’d run at a $120-billion a month rate, the latest implementation order says in part: [with my comments in brackets…] “Effective November 4, … Read More

After a look at the breaking ADP job report… and sizing up the  McAwful night for dems in Virginia…we propose that a drone is not a bad prepping tool to have on hand. After getting my remote pilot license, we started kicking-around what possible benefit it could be for us.  Amazingly – a lot! All … Read More

Fed meetings kick off today.  Around 2 PM (EDT) tomorrow we will get the word on monetary plans.  But, so far, a great deal of the Fed’s policy has been wound-up in double-speak. While “holding rates” steady – thus giving the public perception of stability – they also told their operations desk to increase Fed … Read More
