Tariff Burn vs. Rug Burn

by

We don’t like to bring up the past, but are we the only ones to remember G7, 2019?  Speculative, of course. But to the Developer Personality, well the “long grudge” isn’t just a half-baked notion.  It’s a chapter in the playbook.

Honestly, picking up market remains in the ChartPack after Friday’s washout ain’t hard.  the track of 1929 is still very much in play.

Then we explore current research on geomagnetism for those of us who felt “the earthquake tireds” ahead of the devastating Myanmar quake.

So for today, plan on a single cup it you can read a scandal sheet and 20-odd pages of charts, then your blood pressure may be lower than mine.

  1. (“the First Lady may have—ahem—shared a moment or three with none other than Canada’s former PM, Justin True-Dope.
    Sound implausible? Look again. The images from the 2019 G7 in France tell a tale no press secretary wants to brief on.
    Let’s begin with the choice Vanity Fair pictures found in the Vanity Fair still sat the top of Melania Trump Fell Into the Justin Trudeau Photo Trap.”)

    its possible… I have had my own life experiences with my ex wife.. that had me feeling like a yoyo.. long horror story .. married Into a family where if you weren’t an alpha male you were considered weak and deplorable.
    walking in on my wife at the time after getting off of duty early with my best friend and wife doing the wild monkey. then she got pregnant.. DNA didn’t exist I thought I could fix it.. so even to this day I am not sure which one of us was the father.. but I was out on duty and wasn’t around.. I stayed.. then got a vasectomy so there would never be a doubt again.
    all my kids grandkids and great grandkids are the pleasure of my life..or the vast majority we are the only grandparents that acknowledges their existence..
    then the stories I was told by caddies at the con try club..phew ..so could it be..absolutely..

  2. The D’s have gathered up all the left-leaning hate groups under their payroll banner including brown-shirts, black-shirts, various environmental and animal rights hate groups, racial hate mongers and supremacists of all hues. The street level participants frequently have no clue who pulls their leaders strings, and pays for it all. The groups receive their operational orders through local leftist political fronts, and up until recently, through the DOJ, FBI and local law enforcement CI programs. As to how effective the new management is going to be in shutting down law industry participation in and sponsorship of street level leftist violence remains to be seen. Funding largely comes from US government sources laundered by local political organizations and NGO’s, with Federal and State district court judges running interference on attempts to defund the leftist political operatives.
    These leftist hate groups are violence prone, quick to mobilize, and are relatively easy to use as weapons against targets, or even each other, when a public virtue-signaling event is needed. When viewing these groups on the evening news, it is best to keep in mind that all participants in street level violent clashes, and their virtue signaling news reader leftist cousins all get their funding and direction from the same sources, and their actions are scripted theatre of the absurd.
    DOGE has exposed and disrupted the leftist funding somewhat, but the leftist judiciary is engaging in organized pushback. Meanwhile, Musk and his financial empire are under physical counter-assault. Musk will soon be too compromised, and a new DOGE chief will be needed. His replacement will be under constant attack by the Stalinists, and will likely be forced to live in the wind the rest of their life. Not a really good advertisement for full-time career employment.

  3. “Politics,” I’m thinkin’, is being practiced on two distinct and entirely separate levels.

    The bread & circuses level of Dancing With The Stars, of endless, dumb-assbissues of no great import but lasting outrage,

    and

    The deadly serious level of battle of right & wrong where people get murdered or ruined for sport.

    99% of all the hollering and running feet is on the B&C level, which does not matter, really; but nicely spaces out the commercials; and 1% involves assassinations and depressions — Really Serious Stuff. Stuff that deeply affects you.

    The excellent practitioners of this are very good at blurring the lines.

    • The deadly battle of anit-vaxxers, 450 Measles cases, Multi state:
      ‘The multistate outbreak has put 43 people in the hospital. Children under age 4 account for 139 of the cases, and 177 are in young people 5 to 17. One death has been reported in Texas, and a death in New Mexico is under investigation. Cases have been identified in 17 Texas counties and two New Mexico counties.’ (Most were not vaccinated.)

      https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/28/health/measles-outbreak-crosses-450-cases/index.html

      • And I will bet a nickle that ‘most’ of those cases were foreign-born, disease carrying, border crossers. Texas and New Mexico.
        Coming from places that have no Vax programs, and rampant diseases. Duh!

        • priorities

        • (“No, the evil underpaid illegal immigrants (doing jobs that Americans won’t do)

          phew the jobs that Americans won’t do……Well C___ I will toss up the bull Shit flag for that one.. I have done some really nasty jobs.. one I suggested to The show dirtiest jobs that they refused to do..yup its that bad..
          realistically the reason is..they are illegal or migrant workers..the laws are set where the one employing them doesn’t have to comply with labor laws..Similar to being a waitress .. most waitresses don’t get an hourly wage their income is extremely limited.. farm workers are the same way paid under the table at a fraction of the wages no taxes or insurance no age restrictions..I faced that as well working day labor. you sit in a line someone comes up I need x number of hands I will pay one dollar an hour for the work..
          even some pretty dangerous stuff.. hot dirt from a nuclear cooling tank spill..the money was great five bucks an hour cash.. we didn’t know what it was until they took us out for a cold drink. I asked so why were you guys all wearing safety equipment.. the boss tells me it was a hot water spill.. well you could have given us some safety gear we still would have done the job..probably wouldn’t have sat on the edge of the dig eating out bologna sandwiches and drinking coffee.
          it isn’t because of the American citizens WON’T work it..its because they don’t have to follow the labor regulations or pay taxes. in the end its just like our fragile infrastructure and grid that is weak and vulnerable. some schmuck making seven digits a year income has to maintain his value by keeping the business model. in the end its always about the business model and who can keep their high profile incomes.. just like the medical and pharmaceutical industry that charges taxpayers tens of thousands of percent more for medications they gave to the pharmaceutical industry to research and make..the money is there to fix the situation citizens pay several times more for coverage and care..its one of the highest profiting industries along with insurance industry that goes to all lengths to not pay on..its the business model of who makes coin..

  4. I have been lost, for a little over a week, in a very intricate probability math model, devised by one of our research members. It is in regards/associated with – quantum computers.
    On Wens night, a little past midnight I hit a wall. I became extremely tired and couldn’t focus. I assumed it was because I went too deep, for too long – pondering the possibilities. I made, yet another, cup of tea, wandered outside – but it did no good what-so-ever. So, I tossed it into the “old man syndrome” file., and reluctantly went to bed.
    I am now beginning to think it was a severe case of, the often quoted here., ‘earth quake tires.’ One other member of the group reported the same thing., at just about the same time as myself.., as we were all mentally pooped.
    One hell of a math model., that is still unresolved., and is looking to remain that way., for the time being.., as there are two variables., one was known going in, that at present have no real quantifiable answers. A quantum computer is only as good as it’s manufacturing process – it ‘chip’. [ or, series of chips.] And that is a huge unknown right now. Guesstimations abound, but until one is sitting in an eviro-room., happily humming away., we can only make semi-intelligent guesses. [ which usually makes you look like a complete idiot.]
    .., but my point on all of this is the Myanmar earthquake – that has seemingly effected so many people., half a world away. I do now believe that I was one of ‘those’ people.
    .
    Here’s a fun question for you. When a fully operational quantum computer is developed., will it be able to design a better / faster quantum chip? That is a resounding.., yes. However., even with the schematics and math printed out and sitting right in front of you., would we be able to build it ? ., with the processes we currently have available ? Probably not.., and just how frustrating is that going to be!?

        feat: “Big Bang Theory”, S9E9

        Folks,

        Quantum of 2025 offers kiss coverage under the covers of an August 26, 2019 “Vanity Fair” issue. Events of that 45th G7 meeting at Biarritz in the Basque region of France – a historical port of whale hunting – were held at the Hôtel du Palais. (The town’s flag colours are divided vertically rather than in a banderite horizontal manner.) Perhaps not since 1908 had such scandal been seen as when King Edward VII summoned PM Asquith for a “kissing of the hands” ceremony. The elegant accomodation was purpose-built for Empress Eugenie (‘Queen of Fashion’), consort of Emperor Napoleon III. The structure had come to the rapt attention of London minions in early 1857 with the appearance in serial form of “The Empress Eugenie’s Boudoir” by a Mr. George W.M. Reynolds.

        The 2019 G7 report in “Vanity Fair” segued to an unsympathetic story in their March 29, 2025 issue. ‘The Tesla Diner & Drive-In’ is set to open in LA. As an aside, it seems like just yesterday and not 30 years ago that “Seinfeld’s” George was asking Yev Kassem (gives happiness?) for a crab bisque to go. Mr. Kassem’s role apparently was based upon an Iranian vendor at Soup Kitchen International in New York.

        The 2025 “Vanity Fair” ‘Tesla Diner’ story includes a 2019 picture still from the sitcom “Big Bang Theory”. The image is part of a Thanksgiving S9E9 episode, “The Platonic Permutation”. Sheldon takes Amy to an aquarium is the main storyline. “Vanity Fair’s” published picture pertains to a secondary story. In a framed moment it sees Wolowicz sharing a piece of pumpkin pie with a fellow soup kitchen volunteer, Mr. Elon Musk. Here is a link to the 2025 “Vanity Fair” article:

        The tv series production code for the episode is ‘4×7209’. The product of that is 28836. Public Law 88-36 of 1963 repealed the Silver Purchase Act of 1934. Subsequently President Kennedy signed EO11110 regarding issuance of silver certificates. Here is a “Wikipedia” link to that EO:

        • Bwaaa hahahahahah!

          -thanks for the history lesson..

          Still NO Bitcoins 4 Ure ! ahahahahah

          I suspect a severe, long term case of Cranial Rectalitus here, but would need to run a couple of Tests to confirm my suspicions..

    • Never underestimate creative engineering. When Digital TV was first theorized and the standards for transmission were hammered out, no equipment existed in the electronics world that could accomplish those standards. Things had to be invented… and they were… in order to accomplish that reality. And then the software wizards learned how to pack and compress 1.2 Gigabits stream into a 6 MHz wide channel… with only a few hundred Hz separation from the next adjacent channel. The electronics ‘laws’ of physics I learned in my younger years had to be unlearned while I adapted to the new reality of building Hi Definition Digital TV. It was like working with boxes full of pure magic.

  5. A “LOT” of pictures of Ms Melania at that conference not just the one you linked at different events (she is wearing different outfits at the different events). She shows the same “look” in her eyes towards Justin in all of them.

    Remember Justin’s mother was a well known maninizer (not sure the word exists but you will figure out the meaning), she and Pierre didn’t even try to keep it hidden, she would even leave Ottawa so she could go to Studio 54 at times to “party” without Pierre (also well reported in reputable places that she and Mick Jagger … well had some fun). Does the apple fall far from the tree?

    Public Humiliation is NOT something Trump would forget easily … and those pictures were certainly “public” and caused quite the comment at the time (same general time as she and Trump redid her Prenuptial Agreement). If you can’t directly get the person who humiliated you … well you go after the things /organizatins around them if you are one who REMEMBERS and wants to punish. What is the way the phrase goes? “Revenge is best served cold”

  6. The Trudope/Melania pix were created by the photographer. In the one photo everyone’s seen, he is between 3-4 feet away from her, and she’s looking at someone or something that’s off to his left. As for any others, I don’t proffer my personal information to places I know will abuse it, so I will never see the other Vanity Fair photos.

  7. “And is it time to declare the Democrats a terrorist organization? Senator Ted Cruz on X: “Democrats have become the party of rage, hatred, and extremism.”

    This is an example of misplaced DIPlomacy. Cruz is being kind where “kindness” is misplaced, The Dems have not BECOME the Party of “rage, hatred, and extremism.” They have ALWAYS BEEN the Party of rage, hatred, and extremism. Research their history from 1834 on. The ONLY bad, negative, and/or destructive social issues which can be pinned to the Whigs or Republicans, are ones where they attempted to fix the Democrats’ incredible fuck-ups, and were unsuccessful.

    {Cruz} “They’ve tried to assassinate President Trump twice,”

    These are agents of the “deep state.” Their alleged political affiliation is irrelevant. Their true allegiance is to the WEF and other international socialist megalomaniacal organizations.

    “they’re calling for violence against me and other conservatives,”

    Completely true, although I’m not sure anyone (including Crockett) is taking Crockett seriously, she’s certainly not the only Dem who’s reading one of Alex Soros’ scripts.

    “and they’re firebombing Tesla dealerships.”

    Again, definitely Leftists, and of low moral character. Their political affiliation is inconsequential, although the majority are likely either Democrat, SWP, or CPUSA.
    __________

    And interesting historical question to ponder: Would dems have extended citizenship and hate speech rights to Adolph Hitler?

    No, but they would have, to Mussolini. Remember, until about 1938 his photo hung in U.S. Post Offices next to that of FDR.

  8. Marco Rubio announces State Department to officially close USAID

    The State Department on Friday announced it is officially closing down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), after the administration won a court case allowing them to do so. The formal closure will take place by July 1, and the State Department will take over many of the agency’s responsibilities, according to the New York Post.

    https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/marco-rubio-announces-state-department-officially-close-usaid

    Personally I believe they should keep it around, in case they need to shuttle a bunch of deep state imbeds (or is that inbreds?) into an Agency, then eliminate the Agency, to eliminate the commies…

  10. Proposed California ballot initiative ‘Luigi Mangione Act’ would make it harder for insurers to deny medical care

    A proposed California ballot initiative, named after alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione, has been recently submitted to the California Attorney General’s Office.

    https://ktla.com/news/california/proposed-california-ballot-initiative-luigi-mangione-act-would-make-it-harder-for-insurers-to-deny-medical-care/

    It sounds good on the outside. I don’t care enough to read, to see what it really is (and really does.) In Kali it doesn’t make a difference.

    That said, what absolute brainless idiot thought a bill should be named to glorify an alleged, cold-blooded murderer?

    • We have traditionally made folk hero’s of a lot of cold blooded murderers, including mass murderers. Demonization of victims by vigilante sociopaths and guvment sponsors runs deep in this country. Been there. I’ll be shocked if some woke burg doesn’t build a statue honoring. Meanwhile, the guy he offed may not have been a hero either, but he was the victim, and deserves more respect. Blaming a lone insurance executive for the fracked up medical care system in this country while ignoring profiteering by the medical industry and their bought elected shills is either ignorance, stupidity, malice, or bought propaganda.

      • It wasn’t the head of the insurance companies responsibility.. he was doing the job dictated to him.. he to was a victim of the business model.
        I fought with them for over a year to cover what they were suppose to pay for. many medical facilities laugh when you tell them who your coverage is through.. they were suppose to pay two grand.. they wouldn’t even accept the claims. he insurance agent kept after them.. I told him let them know I don’t care if they pay or not just send me the eat shit and die letter.. instead they sent a couple hundred rather than the letter..I would have preferred the letter..care credit paid the bill at 39% interest..
        unfortunately.. I have had my whole life destroyed because of the business model. hospitals and medical facilities boot people of the insurance just so they can seize assets. its just how it is. like one of the gents that lived in our spare bedroom..I worked with his wife she got cancer. they booted her off of the health insurance then took everything they had. their farm business and rental home. he showed up here with just the clothes on his back..just to pay for the final expenses.
        two of my grandkids mother.. got MS I was really sick then and we were both each others venting post.. the insurance industry was giving her the please resubmit or declined messages on care and she didn’t have the money for the expensive treatments.. so she took her own life so she wouldn’t be a financial burden.. I tried talking her into going to Canada or Mexico where she could get the treatments that are affordable there. similar to a shot for migraine ..what once was fifteen grand a shot here was what ten dollars in another country. with the trillions of dollars spent towards coverage here the system can be fixed..but then the workers in the insurance industry would be affected. like the daughter and her families two week all expense paid trip to Cancun for Xmas for those in the company.
        my wife’s catastrophic health policy that we had to pay for e energy though they didn’t pay a dime on anything we had to have it or you were refused at the clinic. if that had been put in savings bonds instead of paying for the useless policy..it would have amounted to just shy a million in bonds.that all would be maturing right now..
        its the makers of the business model that is at fault..not the figure head pencil pusher desk anchor he is a victim of the business model himself.

      • Yes, but it takes more than a mere flash of notoriety. The difference between this spoiled little rich coward and others is longevity, and a degree of honor. Can you remember the name of the coward who murdered Wild Bill Hickok? I can’t. How many pieces of legislation are named after Jack Ruby or Sirhan Sirhan? A mass murderer has longevity. A Pat Garrett has honor. Do you see the difference?

        BTW, Pam Bondi is investigating this as a Federal murder, and pursuing the death penalty, should it qualify…

    • Ray wrote “That said, what absolute brainless idiot thought a bill should be named to glorify an alleged, cold-blooded murderer?”

      Many people in the North did so with regards to John Brown after his raid on Harpers Ferry.

      When the attack on Harpers Ferry occurred mass distributions daily newspapers had just recent popped up as a result of the invention and beginning use of the rotary press. The Baltimore Sun, the first paper to use it in the US, and they has just installed that first one the year before in 1858 so suddenly they could print THOUSAND of newspapers everyday, not just weekly, after which it’s use quickly spread.

      Nobody was yet familiar with how such mass distributed “news” would affect the thinking of the populous but now with a HUGE news hole to fill DAILY, which had not existed before when newspapers were mostly a once a week thing because each page needed to be printed individually on a platen press the now fast growing newspapers needed SENSATIONAL copy DAILY so as to entice people to buy them daily.

      Gen Robert E. Lee who was in charge of the events in Harpers Ferry allowed the brand new daily newspaper to do interviews with John Brown basically all day long with him from the time of his incarceration until his hanging, which provided the “news” that the new daily newspapers craved (and the recent connection of the country to telegraph wires allowed those interviews to be sent out from Harper’s Ferry daily)

      John Brown’s interviews, and the various stories surrounding slavery and slave rebellions was perfect fodder for getting people to buy a newspaper every day so they appeared almost daily in every major city’s NEW daily newspapers ON THE FRONT PAGE in both the North and South for the 7 weeks between his arrest and his hanging and also continuing for a few weeks afterwards.

      John Brown became a HERO in the minds of many in the North … and a virtual devil in the minds of many in the South …. with that daily publicity that was being screamed by the newspaper criers during those weeks following the Harpers Ferry raid.

      (many attribute the decision by South Carolina to Succeed due to the fear created throughout the South by John Browns attack on Harper’s Ferry which was amplified by the NEW mass media) … so YES, a criminal KILLER can become a Folk Hero to many when that person represents to people something larger than the event itself (remember popular SONGS were written about John Brown which survive to this day).

      Remember … under British Law and in the minds of the British George Washington and those who participated in the battles of Bunker Hill etc. were also Common Criminal KILLERS!

    • (“Proposed California ballot initiative ‘Luigi Mangione Act’ would make it harder for insurers to deny medical care”)

      hospitals will diagnose.. if you go into the ER. clinics send people without insurance to the ER.
      my daughters friend didn’t have insurance.. her throat swelled way up big she didn’t have insurance..they did the tests then came out said well you have cancer. good news is it’s slow growing and 99% treatable..her response was when do westart..when you drop off fifty grand down payment.
      one of my guys covered by the VA had cancer..the clinic sent a really nice letter asking for a nice deposit on his future care..well he lived in our spare bedroom. I took him in for his clinic visit they told him to leave..he started crying in the car..what about me and my life..I said its ok we will do what we can. I got whole of a social worker and three months later he was seen she worked the bugs out..later we stopped having people that can’t afford housing or are homeless he went with family.. his family told me they have been fighting for almost a year trying to get him in again. if your wealthy you get in right away.. they will do everything they can to keep you alive until your money ends..if your poor..then you will die or wait until brick at Remote Medical that services third world countries that don’t have effective medical services.. what is it 95% of all their medical services are done in the USA.
      four years ago they told me I still needed fifteen grand in dental.. I would have been better off when they gave me the bid for sixty grand for implants..the elderly at sale on wheels keep telling me to go to mexico..where I can get it done for pennies on the dollar. I still got eight grand to pay on the last set of dental work..its the business model. all about the number..

  11. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/was-rick-scott-trumps-favorite-to-lead-senate-responsible-for-one-of-the-biggest-medical-frauds-in-history-heres-all-you-need-to-know/articleshow/115306957.cms?from=mdr

    While ignoring the largest Medicare fraudster in history…
    ‘Rick Scott, a prominent political figure and one of Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters, is now emerging as a potential candidate to lead the Senate during Trump’s second administration. However, Scott’s past is marked by one of the largest medical frauds in U.S. history, which raises questions about his leadership.’

    • Tripping over your left bias, again? A more even (OMG, Factual!) account – untainted by libtard bias is that\
      “?Rick Scott, currently a U.S. Senator from Florida, previously served as the CEO of Columbia/HCA, a large for-profit hospital chain. During his tenure, the company was found to have engaged in extensive Medicare fraud, leading to a settlement of $1.7 billion—the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history at that time. Scott resigned from his position amid the investigation but was not personally charged with any wrongdoing. He has acknowledged that mistakes were made under his leadership and has stated that he took responsibility for them. While the company he led was implicated in significant Medicare fraud, there is no evidence that Scott himself was directly involved in or convicted of fraudulent activities”
      So, failing on a factual basis, the democrat/liberal spew resorts to character assassination as in above.
      Burned your Tesla for the daym yet?
