The mount of “actual” news is not particularly awe-inspiring today. Been a bitch of a cold week, the scalar project (1 orf 2) is ready to ship out of the lab. But there is a certain “hollowness” to it all that seems less than promising.
A decades-old saying (from when I taught the fine art of Sales): If you don’t have a great steak, sell the sizzle. And to an extent, that’s the sense of things right now: Lots of “sizzle” but a lack of steak, if you will.
Razzle, Dazzle, and Sizzle: The Paradox
You take this morning’s “top stories” – you can smell some smoke, maybe. But like Jerry McGuire said, “Show me the money!”
Gold was down a little. Silver was off a shade, too. Bitcoin almost crested $100K – but not quite. Stocks are trying to make new highs. But the “clouds” are gathering. Nvidia earnings next week. Microsoft claiming a “new state of matter” that touches on what we’ve recently written about and been working on in the lab: domain wall scaling. Which peekaboo’s out from Microsoft makes quantum breakthrough by creating new state of matter.
There are more than just hints. There are (in Masonic terms?) a lot of “rough ashlars” being worked into usable building blocks. Not ready to be laid, maybe, but the work is going on.
Hard stuff to talk about – I tried explaining to one of my (semi-adult) children the other day. “Imagine that there is a “honeycomb” structure all around you, wherever you face. Each of those is a surface of adjoining Domains. These are where the MWI divergences take off into new/other Realities.
What most people do not realize is that there are humongous implications as to what will happen when domain wall scaling is successful in labs. But how many people are thoughtfully drilling this wall face with AI (besides the odd nutter in the woods)?
4. Experimental and Theoretical Implications
Quantum Computation & Domain Walls:
Quantum computations rely on maintaining coherence, and errors in quantum states might correspond to domain wall interactions at the quantum level.
Understanding domain wall-like structures in Hilbert space might lead to better quantum error correction.
Gravitational Considerations:
Some researchers have proposed that gravity might collapse wavefunctions, meaning that domain walls in space-time could play a role in selecting which branches of the wavefunction persist.
Entanglement & Multiverse Connectivity:
If domain walls in quantum space connect different classical realities, this could have implications for quantum communication, suggesting that some quantum branches remain weakly correlated.”
It will do lots of other things, as well. For example, it will open an engineering approach to free energy. Because there is likely to be energy differentials between the various (alt. reality) portals. Connect the innards of one honeycomb to another and now you have a Battery of the Universe, kind of thing.
With domain wall engineering, the path to the “science of woo” will become the successor to AI. Which is cool, and all that. But not as neat as invisibility, space-time jumps, zero flight time communications, and antigravity work.
Thing is, while it’s all really spiffy, it’s also MEGA disruptive. Antigravity alone will change the nature of everthing along our transportation continuum. There goes the rental car business, hotels, aircraft manufacturers, and let’s close down the ports while we’re at it. Because who needs “shipping” when massive cargo movements can be portal-to-portal from a manufacturing site (all robotic then) to the warehouse and distribution center. Missing are trains, trucks, longshore work, and time delays.
With it will come an almost “popcorn” like bursting of all we ever knew. Which will be fun or absolutely terrifying, depending on your outlook on things. Pick your “movie telling Future” early: Man in the High Castle is only one domain wall. Soylent Green, or Logan’s Run or 13 Monkeys are others.
Peeking out of the lab here this week is a new understanding of chemtrails, too. Was there a real breakthrough by the US besides nuclear energy back when we were braining out answers to the Wunderwaffen in WW2 Germany? Did we get something to fly? Is there something to the story circulating today about “Troy-21”? US Air Force pilot reveals encounter with UFO during secret mission over California.
What most on the web – dealing with UAPs and chemtrails – is that when Western (five eyes) satellites roll down the east coast of China, workers on their “ghost cities and ghost ports” go on break so we don’t get to see everything with national technical means.
But “hiding from the birds” is a two-way street. And if we are flight-testing newtech, chemtrails would likely be in the mix as overhead shielding. ” If properly designed, layered dispersions could function like a dynamic, tunable frequency-selective surface (FSS).” Or, at least so claims 2011 Russian patent (54) METHOD OF PROVIDING SW AND USW COMMUNICATION IN CONDITIONS OF HIGH RADIO SIGNAL ABSORPTION. (shortwave and ultrashortwave in patent (21)(22) Application: 2011141136/07, 10.10.2011).
Which only to more questions about chemtrails and HAARP: Are they experiments to perfect command and control for the immediate aftermath of a nuclear exchange when comms will be wonky (call this possibility 1) OR are they to cloak spectral surveillance from satellites while the West tests crafts that transition domain walls being at times invisible and others (possibility 2)?
Whew…our lab work here looks so minuscule and childish in comparison, doesn’t it?
Still, Ebbinghaus is Interesting
We seem headed for an “inside day” in markets to wrap the week. That’s where the highs of Thursday (amnd the lows) are not exceeded. But we are still looking at past behaviors of such “Ebbinghaus pauses – like this one from last Thanksgiving:
Notice the “convergence” in the red circle? Then consider how today’s Futures are pricing today:
There’s a descending series of lines (like the 2-day average_) and our (very old) visual cortex can “see” that as long as we close under the 2 DMA the downside is probably not complete. By our “guessoning” we could slide for several weeks from here. AI /nVidia earnings next week – and proximate to a Bank Settlement day, but then we have don’t have any textbooks look up guidance. This is all from “extracting a surfacing model from a multiplicity of moving averages. Which at Denny’s with a couple of bucks, will get you coffee.
If the NASDAQ powers over 20,057 toward the close, then I’m an idiot tilting at windmills. If we get major league negative into the close, send a note to the Nobel Committee.
More Conventional “News”
I should apologize for citing two stories from the Daily Mail above. But, as went the line from Men In Black, sometimes you go to the tabloids for the real news. For everyone else, we have these:
Getting over ‘hurt puppy’ are we? War in Ukraine: Zelensky says had ‘productive meeting’ with Trump envoy.
But one one site, already reports of pallets of cash and gold being loaded in Ukraine which doxvetails with Zelensky’s best bet is to FLEE Ukraine ‘immediately’, Trump insiders warn – as Putin ‘days away from declaring victory’. If he does, I say Trump ought to hunt him down and take back all the assets because they were for Ukraine not Zelensky.
Rise and Spend! Senate holds a ‘vote-a-rama’ to advance $340 billion budget for Trump’s agenda.
Wait! Does this mean Trump is “going postal?” Trump expected to take control of USPS, fire postal board, officials say. Could have ripples into, oh, Amazon pricing models, for example.
Another one of those “Mengele memo” kinda things? Bombshell Revelation Shows Fauci Authorized $241M for Transgender Surgeries, Experiments on Animals.
What will Patel’s first moves be? Inquiring minds are waiting…FBI Director Kash Patel on X: “I am honored to be confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thank you to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for your unwavering confidence and support. The FBI has a storied legacy—from the “G-Men” to safeguarding our nation…
Another storm forming out west as the E. Coast digs out: Winter Storm Warnings and Advisories across the Denver metro area and foothills. Still, only one day until Spring here in East Texas with our last freeze of winter possible tonight. Which means “transplant week” maybe into the lean-to greenhouse.
Around the Ranch: Do-Ology and QFPD
Got up today with the word “Do-ology” rattling between the ears. After looking it up, seems it’s not popular yet. But it was in context of “What is my One Year Goal” now that I’m 76?
Most of the checklist items in life – get married (check, check, check) – have children (check, check, check) – sail offshore a bit (check) – flying your own plane coast to coast a few times (check, check), be competent in (long list) but you get the idea.
Then it hit me: Quest For the Perfect Day – QFPD for short!
Would have been fine if the idea could have just drifted off, but it’s left me in something of a fugue trying to define what, exactly is a perfect day?
Tomorrow could be close: Doing some yard work after successful projects were done this week. Prime rib for a delayed “birthday dinner”. Maybe some “consenting adult time”. Glass of wine, or two. Spot of exercise…Netflix series?
But would that be perfect? What about car racing? Lobster? New movie in a new series (like Raiders or Back to the…)?
What about “victory over troubles and obstacles?” New antenna that works better than expected? Catching the Big Fish…seeing the perfect sunrise… the list keeps scrolling by.
The solution? Breaking it down into “sub-units of Perfection.” Take beer, for example. I found myself thinking back to the “best beer I ever had…” But even this was a mindf–k. Because for taste, there was a PERFECT German beer I had in 1972 rot so at a Seattle trade fair (in my newsing days) at an event called UniMart 72. Big cold beer stein, fresh flown in Big Keg of Germany’s finest…lots of boquet to the head on this beer. Perfect pinpoint carbonation (not like over-charged American beers (“panther piss” ) this was my host’s word for it…
OK, but beer is also about the company and setting. I remember like it was yesterday, Elaine and her grown-up son Brandon and me sitting in the cockpit of our sailboat having ice cold beers on a warm spring day while tied to a mooring buoy on the back side of Blake Island on Puget Sound. the BBQ on the stern rail was just starting to smoke for steaks and in the background, Mount Rainer was like a big ice cream cone in the distance. A warm, but not too hot breeze…and plans to take the inflatable ashore for a hike after steaks… Damn hard to improve on that.
From the vantage point of old age, the problem is that I haven’t figured out how to have serial Perfect Days back-to-back, one after the other. Sure, I can get MOST things right, most of the time. But how can I “slam everything out of the park” every waking instant of whole days?
It’s frustrating, though. Even when I’ve had my rare “enlightenment moments” those are gone all too quickly…a quick “peek behind the curtain of Universe” and then plop – back on the rock, again.
Maybe I ask too much. Maybe we don’t get all perfect, all the time, no matter what. At some point, the last sip of beer goes, the last bite of lobster, how many pounds of prime rib at a single sitting is enough? (Is this series of experiments hindering weight loss? Um….)
I think Saturday morning, I’ll take a cup of coffee and go sit up above the rifle range. Been a small herd of deer – a dozen, or so – coming through to graze and it is peaceful watching them out here…
Makes you wonder though: Other than dodging bullets, what’s a perfect day for a deer? Other than avoiding chainsaws and lightning, what’s a perfect day for a tree?
Not sure, but I guess that’s what weekends are for. Let’s adjourn and go have one. Or at least another QFPD….Which is where the notion of Agetivity comes from.

Sell the sizzle…”you can smell some smoke, maybe. But like Jerry McGuire said, “Show me the money!”
OTFLMAO…money is nothing more than an Illusion of Value: money is just an agreed-upon rhythm of exchange—it’s as “real” as any other measure used as wealth or value until you strip away the system sustaining it. Without trust or use, its frequency collapses to zero. bury it in a hole and it stops moving the noodle tears apart..that’s one reason presidents of the past gave out numbers..you have to keep it moving LOL LOL
we need it our life revolves around a number..I times past it was glass beads or a goat.. A measure of grain.. a unit of water.. if the flow stops the unit of value is reduced to zero.. real value is what you know ..what can you do..I have done many things scooped out chicken shit for eggs and chickens..A unit of measure..food..
“Bitcoin can be erased. Gold cannot.”
– Rick Ackerman
https://www.howestreet.com/2025/02/has-maga-firepower-dimmed-on-the-markets-rick-ackerman/
That is true.. its a rare metal that for thousands of years has been used as a symbol for social status.
Gold has long been a symbol of wealth, power, and status, often serving as a marker of class distinction throughout history. Its rarity, durability, and aesthetic appeal made it a prized material across civilizations, frequently used to separate the elite from the common population.Where its value fails is in the ability to dispose of it.
In ancient Egypt, around 3000 BCE, gold was associated with the divine and the pharaohs, who were seen as god-kings. They adorned themselves with gold jewelry, crowns, and even had gold-laden tombs, like Tutankhamun’s, to signify their elevated status. Commoners had little to no access to it, as gold was controlled by the state and reserved for royalty and high priests.
In Mesopotamia, gold was similarly a privilege of the ruling class. Kings and nobles wore gold ornaments, while the metal was used in religious artifacts to signify their connection to the gods. The Code of Hammurabi (circa 1750 BCE) hints at wealth hierarchies, with gold often mentioned in penalties or payments that only the rich could afford.
The Greeks and Romans further entrenched gold as a class divider. In Athens, the wealthy elite displayed gold in coins, jewelry, and decor, while poorer citizens relied on silver or bronze. Rome took this further—senators and patricians flaunted gold rings and ornaments as legal symbols of their rank, forbidden to slaves and lower classes under sumptuary laws.
During the Middle Ages in Europe, gold remained a noble privilege. Monarchs like Charlemagne minted gold coins to assert authority, while feudal lords hoarded it. The Church, too, used gold in reliquaries and altars, reinforcing spiritual and social hierarchy. Peasants rarely saw gold beyond taxes they couldn’t pay in kind.
In the Americas, pre-Columbian societies like the Aztecs and Incas treated gold as sacred. Aztec emperors and nobles wore elaborate gold regalia, while commoners offered it as tribute. When the Spanish arrived in the 1500s, they exploited this, equating gold with conquest and further widening class gaps in their colonies.
By the Renaissance and into the modern era, gold’s role evolved but persisted. European aristocracy flashed gold in portraits and palaces—think Versailles—while mercantile classes began accumulating it, birthing a new wealthy bourgeoisie. The gold standard later tied currencies to it, making it a literal measure of a nation’s (and its elite’s) power.
Across these examples, gold’s scarcity and cultural value consistently made it a tool for separation. It wasn’t just wealth; it was a visual and tangible divide, often backed by law or tradition, between those who ruled and those who served… but as a real Wealth..what does history have to say about that..
Gold’s status as a marker of wealth often rested on its perception rather than its immediate usability. For instance, in ancient Rome, while the elite hoarded gold in the form of aurei coins or ornate jewelry, its practical “disposal”—converting it into goods or services—could be tricky. Roman sumptuary laws restricted who could wear or trade it, and in times of crisis, like during the Third Century economic collapse, gold’s value plummeted locally because markets favored food or weapons over luxury. A rich patrician might have a chest of gold but struggle to “dispose” of it for bread during a siege.
Similarly, in medieval Europe, gold’s illiquidity could undermine its wealth status. Feudal lords might possess gold crowns or chalices, but the economy ran on barter or silver pennies for daily transactions. If a noble needed to pay mercenaries or buy grain during a famine, gold wasn’t always easy to offload. which is where workable metals come in copper zinc etc..I know I have said many times ..if I was one of the only ones that had ten pounds of wheat and ten gallons of clean water and someone with ten gold coins wanted it..what would I place the price of gold to A pound of wheat?
we actually seen this with the covid shut down..my grand daughter at Wal-Mart had a customer offer her 75.00 for one ounce of hand sanitizer..there were people pulling knives on others to get a package of charmin toilet paper..I believe that you could literally trade a roll for an hour of sexual bliss..as long as people see it as value it will remain the symbol of wealth social class separation.. realistically though its just a symbol like bitcoin or the dollar bill ..real wealth is what you know or can do..the guy living in a dumpster, flipping burgers or scooping cow manure all have value..they are geniuses in their own right.. you and I don’t have their lives struggles or their ability to survive in their life reality. in a true cataclysmic event their knowledge and ability to survive would be priceless..of course that’s just my opinion..And seriously what in the hell would I know about this..I am the poorest SOB moron in the wastelands..my past struggles I worked as an opportunity to learn and like the marines Slogan The Marine slogan “Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome” that totally encapsulates the mindset and philosophical ability that allows Marines to deal with any physical, mental, or spiritual hardship while in the field. The really plus side of this..I learned how to do so many great things that I truly enjoy to this day..roasting my own coffee..making awesome pasta..etc.. its all in what you perceive it to be..the things we all have and do for our creature comforts..the quality of life..
JC, LMAO, yes gold was actually erased in 1971. See Richard Nixon. Kissinger for the genius idea of backing the fed paper chits with oil, and the naked shorted never closed positions on CME that are paying fees to keep the trade open in perpetuity, and stacking the whole toxic soup into the ISDA pool.

There goes XRP teeing up to monetize another real world asset into its digital twin for Web 3.0 onto XRP ledger.
So golds been erased too, because due to manipulation, gold hasn’t achieved market price discovery for many many decades.

‘Invaders from Mars’ (1953) recounts its story from the point of view of an older child in an adult world heading into crisis. It was developed from a scenario by Richard Blake and based on a story treatment by John Tucker Battle, who was inspired by a dream recounted to him by his wife.
Late one night, David MacLean, a young boy, is awakened by a loud thunderstorm. From his bedroom window, he sees a flying saucer descend and disappear into the sandpit area behind his home. He tells his scientist father George, who goes to investigate. David’s mother Mary later looks for him there, but he is gone. When George returns in the morning, David notices an unusual puncture on the back of his father’s neck; George is now behaving in a cold and hostile manner, and repeatedly warns David to tell no one about the saucer sighting. The police officers Mary summoned to find George are acting in the same way and say they will not report the incident since George has returned. Through his telescope, David sees child neighbor Kathy Wilson disappear underground while walking in the sandpit. When she returns, Kathy burns her family’s house down…

Latest blizzard is allowing us to catch our breath. I drove into the teeth of squalls with wind whipped drifts causing white knuckles. A bare 20 minutes (well, it took nearly 60 minutes yesterday) to our WNW they had nearly 2′ of snowpack on the ground. We have just 9″ or so but the shoveling part is getting sporty. Note: Mrs. E set a record yesterday, shoveled the drive for me and actually went outside several times!

Today is the perfect day. Any effort to grade it with other days from that now non-existent ‘past’ is folly. Take it or leave it. And don’t bank on another one, in fact don’t even bank on another perfect breath. The last one is gone as soon as the next one begins. All you ever really get.
I do like it when the sky is pink/baby blue early, sun showing through the trade wind clouds that signal good weather, slightly on shore so the bugs are afraid to try and fly out to our tiny spot of sanity in the crazy world. Make the sun be shining on those solar panels that keep the fridge cold and that is pretty much all it takes to not be unhappy.

re: “You can smell smoke…”
Folks,
Apparently S.A. Lebedov developed the first Soviet computers from his academic base in Kiev in the early ’50’s. It was reported by Russian Telegram channel “Baza” (Base) yesterday that his namesake Moscow edifice is now rubble. Images depicted the Lebedev Institute of Precision Mechanics and Computer Engineering with flames several stories high emanating from the structure situated beside a main Moscow throughfare. Readers were advised that firefighting helicopters were enroute to render assistance.
Elsewhere “Baza” made note of a so-far in 2025 trilogy of Russian shadow fleet oil tanker explosions in the Mediterranean Sea. Apparently the last such event happened 20 years ago.

This Sunday will mark an anniversary of the first Silver Dart flight under the direction of Alexander Graham Bell near his Cape Breton estate. Here is a link to his namesake foundation with an overview of the Bells’ efforts to make the estate self sufficient back in their day.
https://agbfoundation.ca/beinn-bhreagh/
This past Wednesday the CBC reported on the completion of a second repair to an undersea internet cable between Cape Breton and Newfoundland belonging to Bell. The line had been cut allegedly on purpose. The initial report advised that the RCMP is investigating. A further CBC report update of Thursday adds a clarification from the RCMP. “…they don’t believe the two Nova Scotia incidents are national security threats.” What a relief; here is the CBC link:

re: “method in (…)’s madness”
feat: Polonius & Swiss Guards
Folks,
Former UK PM Boris Johnson has issued a “Daily Mail” video statement that there is method to President Trump’s madness. The ‘method in madness’ saying appears to derive from Polonius, an advisor to King Claudius, in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”.
One of the hallmarks of Dr. Sheldon Cooper in “The Big Bang Theory” sitcom was his attire. Apparently each day of week had an assigned superhero t-shirt motif. My understanding is Fridays were dedicated to Flash Gordon.
Mr. Johnson wore a t-shirt as part of his attire on the video. The t-shirt text temporarily appeared to translate from Ukrainian as “Battle of Svitli (light?)”. Svitli is a UK charity dedicated to helping with the education of students in underground Ukrainian bunker schools. The charity is headquartered in Morden of south London which was under Westminster Abbey control shortly after the time of the Norman Conquest. Surburbanized in the last century, it has claimed to host Europe’s largest mosque since 2003. Here is Svitli’s UK government registration and finances webpage link:
https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/5202715/accounts-and-annual-returns
Mr. Johnson’s t-shirt text translates into other languages besides Ukrainian although I’m not sure how much rounding-off liberties happen when
it’s done.
Russian: Battle Aeneas Light.
Italian: Enemy Swiss.
Here’s a link to the “Daily Mail” video:

So cal, I believe that every event since the assassination attempt on El Presidente has been carefully scripted by Clif’s Self Organizing Collective (SOC). Drip, drip, drip… one truth after another being dumped on the American people. From the uncovering of USAID as a slush fund for special NGO’s to the $350 Billion we sent to Ukraine so Zelensky can buy a $3.8 million dollar villa in Egypt. Next up, Epstein Files, RFK files, and JFK
files. Should be an interesting spring/summer. Appears someone has done their homework on how not to startle the herd. BTW for all you doubters out there, I believe Kash is squeaky clean, man goes through SBI and lie detector every 5 years. Man is honest, go look at video of his confirmation hearings, asked and answered everything, never wavered, never flinched. His body language was spot on for credibility.
In their book Only I Can Fix It, journalists Carol Leoning and Philip Rucker reported that the plan called for the SEALs to parachute into northern Nigeria and travel a few miles on foot to reach the compound where Walton was being held.
Secretary of Defense Mark Esper had signed off on the plan with one or two questions: Did we have permission to fly over Nigeria?
Patel, then the senior director for counterterrorism on the National Security Council, assured the Pentagon that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “got the airspace cleared.”
A few hours later, the Pentagon learned that Patel was wrong: Nigeria had not given permission. The Air Force planes were swiftly rerouted, circling the skies for an hour while State Department officials worked frantically to obtain clearances to cross the border.
As Esper recalled in his memoir, A Sacred Oath, “By the time Mike [Pompeo] and I spoke an hour later, he still didn’t have the okay from the remaining country. He also didn’t know where Patel received his information. Pompeo never spoke with him.”
“How did we receive the bad information in the first place?” Pompeo wondered.
Esper said his team “suspected Patel made the approval story up, but they didn’t have all the facts.” But the Pentagon was still furious at Patel. Tony Tata, a retired one-star Army general and Pentagon official, furiously confronted Patel after delivering his reckless authorization for the mission.
“You could’ve gotten these guys killed!” Tata shouted at Patel, according to a report in The Atlantic. “What the f*ck were you thinking?”
Patel’s response was: “If nobody got hurt, who the f*ck cares?”

I have to side with Patel on this. When lives are on the line, only time matters. Not the niceties of political bullshit. Get the job done and let the courts sort it out later. Point is results not political whining.
You apparently didn’t come up in a first responder household, did you? Put out fire, take out sniper, save the heart attack vic… comes before permissions and bullshit. Maybe they didn’t school you on that? The bottom line is the bottom line.
I could see Esper and Pompeo conspiring to set Kash up,, the ‘initiation ritual’ group does not like non members, they needed to be rid of Kash but failed,,, kind of like how FBI Dir Comey set Gen Flynn up
Trump still likes Flynn and has offered him positions but I believe Flynn is being saved for more problems for the lib-left-asswipes,,, could be as witness in GITMO, just hopium, ya know.
It is obvious that Kash has survived and is on team MAGA’
It is WAR, undeclared but still WAR as they have fired shots at Trump, intent on killing him,, yet liddle truth is on the lib-leftard side, that lies, cheats and steals,, what a piece of ‘work’
Remember how the deep ass wipes did Comey computer records spelled as Corney,,, they have to lie to survive, can’t stand in the Light of day
imagine, if you will, that liddle truth is involved with orgs that seek out troubled youth, that is easy prey, he gives orientation to them as a group leader,,, come on kids let us do the fold the MAP thing.
We are in a War for the minds of mankind, an information war, what are facts and Truths, who is hiding from the audits,
hide fuckers hide,,, anybody seen Barry? why did Big Mike split to points away from him,,, survival?

George,
Crash time.
For the SPX and ACWI, this was the final day, day 138 of a 27 Oct 2023 x/2.5x/2.5x :: 55/139/138 day maximum equity growth fractal series with characteristic nonlinear lower gaps observable in the terminal portion of the 139 day 2nd fractals(within the last two trading days before the nadir 5 Aug 2024 valuation)
Interestingly the Ten year note interest rates made a low at 44.06% completing a 16-17 September 2023 fractal trend line.
The 55/139/138 day fractal series started at the conclusion of a March 2020 8+/24/14 month ::x/2.5x/1.6x monthly fractal series.
The DJT (Transport Index)is following the same fractal growth pattern as above. Of note the DJT’s recent Nov 2024 high of 17846 failed to exceed its Nov 2021 high of about 18250. At 1110 EST it was down over 3% and will likely be a leading indicator accompanying the coming tariff wars.
‘That rare budget surplus
The U.S.federal government has managed to balance its budget only one time in the past half-century. President Bill Clinton managed the feat over a four-year period in the late 1990s.’
https://www.govexec.com/management/2023/02/i-helped-balance-federal-budget-1990s-heres-just-how-hard-it-will-be-gop-achieve-same-rare-feat/382443/
Trump’s own tax cuts caused the ballooning budget:
‘The U.S. spends 8% of the budget simply paying interest on the national debt. This percentage hasn’t changed much, but the debt itself has soared from $4.5 trillion in 1993 to $31 trillion today mainly because of massive tax cuts during the Bush and Trump administrations, costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and vast public spending to address the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.’
Just add tariffs and voila! Instant stock market crash, thank you , Donny!!

Bring on the Depression, Donny, deja vu Hoover! (Smoot-Hawley Tariff bill)
‘On June 16, 1930 when the Smoot-Hawley bill was signed into law the broad economy was just starting to slip into the Great Depression. Two years later unemployment had reached almost 24 percent in the U.S., more than 5000 banks had failed, and hundreds of thousands were homeless and living in shanty towns called “Hoovervilles”. Our economic woes spread around the world, although other countries weren’t hit as hard; while our unemployment rate increased some 600%, unemployment in Great Britain rose some 130% and over 200% in France and Germany.’
Over $151 Million Taken from Soldiers’ Paychecks for Food Costs Spent Elsewhere by the Army
The Army is repurposing more than half of the money it collects from junior enlisted soldiers for food, according to data reviewed by Military.com. The numbers suggest that a large portion of those funds are not going toward feeding soldiers, a diversion of resources coming at a time when troops increasingly struggle to find nutritious food on base.

Repeal of ranked-choice voting petition approved
The first phase of the second attempt to repeal ranked-choice voting has passed its first big hurdle — getting the language of the petition approved by the Alaska Division of Elections. A group of Alaskans submitted the application for the petition in December, and the division had until Friday, Feb. 14, to give them an answer. The answer came on Friday afternoon — it’s a “go.”

Indiana Proposes to Absorb 33 Counties from Illinois that Voted to Leave the State
Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston has announced a legislative proposal to incorporate 33 Illinois counties that have expressed a desire to secede from their state. This initiative comes after these counties, frustrated with the political dominance of Chicago and Cook County, voted in favor of exploring separation.

Newly elected DNC vice chair David Hogg using platform to solicit donations for his own PAC, insiders say: ‘Doesn’t give an oink’
David Hogg is being a pig, according to Democratic National Committee insiders who are already slinging mud at the new party vice chairman. Barely two weeks into his tenure, Hogg has been leveraging DNC contact lists to blast out messages soliciting donations to his own political action committee — from which he draws more than $100,000 in compensation a year, according to Federal Election Commission records.

A reality check is in order. The suggestion that the executive branch should unilaterally hand out a $5000 check to every household to celebrate it’s DOGE cost cutting is the first hint I have seen of a resumption of fiscal abuse of power by the new regime. This is a confirmation that megalomania hubris is still at work in the beltway.
That cash payment would be an extra-legal, unlegislated freebie hand-out. As much as I would like the money, it is an extra-legal redistribution of wealth, if not an outright Uni-party bribe of the voters. DOGE’s commission is to cut deficit spending and corruption through fiscal restraint, not to redistribute graft.
A legislated cut in the tax rate, or an increase in the standard deduction would be lawful responses to more efficient government and a budget surplus; however, the deficit spending has to be shut down first. Deeds, not partisan bullshit. Keynesian monetary policy came into being to finance the Uni-party’s never ending wars with a bottomless purse. The era of modern monetary theory partying and war-mongering is done, dead and dated. We are in the post-modern economic sobriety withdrawal phase, and that withdrawal is going to be painful for the graft addicts, who will hunger for a return to their good old days of fiscal mismanagement.

Graft Master Musk (Trump’s Queen /B../wears the pants?) wants to re-write Delaware law so he can rip off shareholders (aka American taxpayer lol), collect $55.8 billion buyout, largest in history:
“Musk wants to write his own laws to take tens of billions of dollars from Tesla shareholders after the courts said he couldn’t,” Warren, D-MA, told CNBC in a statement on Wednesday. “Corporate law protects minority shareholders’ rights so that greedy controlling shareholders like Musk can’t take away safeguards for Main Street investors.”
Musk’s clash with Delaware
The pay package Tesla granted to Musk in 2018 was the largest CEO compensation plan in public corporate history, with a potential $55.8 billion maximum value, but the Delaware Court of Chancery in early 2024 ordered it to be rescinded.
Corporate investors are free to cash in and take their investment money elsewhere if the principals start looting the Company. That’s a lot harder for taxpayers to do with govt revenuers looting at gunpoint.
I am all for low taxes and a level playing field. I would like to see a much a larger personal standard deduction on Federal income tax, and elimination of most itemized personal deductions. The mortgage interest deduction is a major contributor to proliferation of debt slavery, deductions for large value charitable deductions is abused by the wealthy, deduction for home businesses are abused by multi-levels, etc, etc. Level the playing field. And increases in the standard deduction do favor individuals at the lowest income levels.
