Although earlier futures were soft, markets don’t feel like they are really ready to “roll over” until events coming this weekend. But, in the meantime, we are pondering just how deep America’s political corruption runs. What sets off this line of inquiry was the story about how a Judge rejects Elon Musk’s $56 billion pay … Read More

Joe Biden has – along with his crooked vice president and enabler War Party – told American’s “We rule you.” Politely, the semi-neutered press reported President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden.  But to us, it’s a much Bigger Deal.  You see, the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree. Remember, it was a conspiracy … Read More

So much for the best laid plans of men, mice, and all that.  We got so wrapped up in discussing the state of world affairs Saturday, that somehow we didn’t start on the Big Antenna Projects until late. Oh, and I haven’t had time to get Drone #1 back in flying condition, so we might … Read More

A stock market event we referred to as the “slaughter of the elves” took place a few years back.  2018, but that’s from memory, and with enough turkey in the bloodstream, recall is a bit fogged. Still, desperate people (not wanting to leave office) and people who want to undercut whoever follows (ahem…) may be … Read More

Today is a “”tough one” out here in the wilds of East Texas.  Oh, the weather, while turning cold is OK.  Our house guest /consigliere has had a good time. Even got a case settled Wednesday afternoon.  Ah, the magic of MagicJack VOIP, multiple monitors, and Starlink. Yeah, all that stuff is fine.  And the Turkey … Read More

Coming up on 3 AM out here in East Texas.  Very pleasant night talking to George Noory on Coast-to-Coast (some additional show note links are in the next post). Back to bed and sleeping in – which I’ve only been able to do once in a long while. Need to get up and pop the … Read More

Root Canal Tuesday leads to Coast-to-Coast Wednesday night which then segues into Turkey Thursday around here. But before we roll, some important housekeeping items for even our non-subscribers to the $40/year Peoplenomics site. Safe Computing Reminders:  We are at “peak hacking” between now and early January.  Don’t open emails you aren’t expecting. Next, make sure … Read More

With a house guest (our consigliere) time has been a little tighter than usual. But a scan of the headlines today says there is a bit of uneven lurching into the future that might be characterized as Productive. Texas – home to Elon, Joe Rogan, and…um…us… continues to be a national trends-setter with Univ of Austin, … Read More

Chicago Fed first, then a rally. But Housing looms tomorrow.  Even so, with some possible Housing regret, it won’t last long because turkey is lurking this week. We can also see the broad sweep of history, as we  have now lived through the entire transition from “National Call Your Broker Day” – which was what … Read More

With our house guest due here in about 12 hours, we are going through the last-minute detailing of this, that, and the other thing.  Elaine keeps getting sidetracked with the feral cats and there are all these nifty “Buy Now!” emails – making it hard to get things really done. Tool Slut or Check Slut? … Read More

Sure, turkey is due, but there’s a GDP report next week which could break the Big Bubble.  So we begin with a discussion of that. Of course, we will begin with a few news headlines – because this is what’s driving the discussion.  And we won’t get too worked up over things, except to say … Read More
