WIGO: Depression Onset

by

WIGO?  What Is Going On.  And this morning the answer is “Oh, nothing much – just Joe Biden’s Depression getting organized.

No – not a political assessment – just what our charts over on the Peoplenomics side of the house are hinting at.  Let me run it down for you and you will catch on very quickly.

First:  An “Instant Stock Market Course”

I’m going to give you a chart in a second that is “information dense.”  It simply gives a visual of many stock trading concepts in one view.  Normally more the type thing we do for subscribers, but these are exceptional times so WTF, right?

Concept 1: Stocks trade in “trend channels.”

That is, over the long haul, stock prices can usually be seen in either an  ascending (rising) trend.  Or, in a  declining trend.  When the market is rising, the trend line is drawn between  lower points and extended.  This is copy/pasted and moved so that it rests on top of the first major rally.   Defining book:  Gilbert Raff’s “Trading the Regression Channel” on Amazon.

Concept 2: Elliott Wave Theory.

Which says, whatever direction stocks are going, they will tend to move in three or five step “waves.”  Since that’s too simple, though, let’s also say “waves” are nested and this are called “degrees.”  So a Wave 1 down, may have either 3 steps or 5.  Defining book:  Prechter and Frost: “Elliott Wave Principle:  Key to Market Behavior.”

Concept 3:  Currency Valuations Matter!

My real “eye-opener” was over a couple of martini’s at Traders Vic’s – which used to be on the bottom floor of the Westin Hotel in Seattle.  (The one that looks like two corncobs, lol.)  Dr. Paul Erdman patiently explained to me how – from the international perspective – When the Dollar is strong, it doesn’t take as many to buy a stock.  It appears as the price (in dollars) is going down.  When the dollar is weakening, it takes MORE dollars so it looks like the stock price is going UP.  (Yes, but from the globalist view, you may not get rich this way…think of collecting tulips or finding a zillion Weimar reichsmarks.  Defining books:  Read every novel Erdman wrote.  You’ll learn more than some business schools.

Concept 4: Ure’s Moving Averages Theory

No book, just a bunch of Peoplenomics articles over the past 20-years on the Peoplenomics site.  Basically, it says “Anyone can make moving average charts.  Using different averaging periods, crosses to the upside and downside become obvious.

Concept 5:  War on Trump

Dems want to take the “Look at the economy!  Success!” sales pitch from Trump.  We are 56-days out.  Plus or minus millions of mail-in ballots.

There. That wasn’t so hard, was it?

WIGO Today

OK, here’s the high density view:

Reviewing this by concept, here’s what I THINK might be going on:

Concept 1:  Black Trend Channel has been decidedly broken. Recognition may take a while.  As we are likely to enter the declining channel, we can eyeball previous declines and make some reasonable estimates – once this first break is done – where the bounce should go.

Concept 2:  Elliott looks like five waves up (green trading boxes) may be complete.  We don’t do financial advice, but it’s fun to watch.

Concept 3:  Currency matters – and this morning the dollar is showing strength.  Lowers the price of gold, oil, and other physicals.  Rising dollar because we have more peoplke working, so “The End” of the US economy isn’t here — yet.

Concept 4:  Notice the two moving averages?  They may  cross this week or next in the yellow box on the right side of the chart.  Yeah – that’d be graceful.

Concept 5:  Headlines are already attacking the Trump Money Myth.  Drudge Report is running with “Trump in Surprise Cash Crunch” and “Financial Supremacy Evaporates.”  With links to stories like this one.

All of which ought to make for a relaxing day in the Scrooge McDuck suit.  Sadly, the NY Fed and made-up news is likely to keep traders guessing.  Over the long-term (>2-hours, lol) things ought to be slowly drifting down (and then quickly coming down) in order for the economy to seem semi-rational come voting day.

It’s not, of course.  Voters are nuts, money is nuts, and the world is on life support dominated by economies that exist to make up shit we don’t really need.

NFIB Outlook

This argues for the “Trump Economy” a fair bit:

Washington, D.C. (Sept. 8, 2020) – The NFIB Optimism Index increased 1.4 points in August to 100.2, a reading slightly above the historical 46-year average. Seven of the 10 Index components improved, two declined, and one was unchanged. The NFIB Uncertainty Index increased two points in August to 90, the second-highest reading since 2017. The record reading of 100 was reached in November 2016.

“Small businesses are working hard to recover from the state shutdowns and effects of COVID-19,” said NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. “We are seeing areas of improvement in the small business economy, as job openings and plans to hire are increasing, but many small businesses are still struggling and are uncertain about what the future will hold.”

Other key findings include:

    • Earnings trends over the past three months improved seven points to a net negative 25% reporting higher earnings.
    • Job openings increased three points to 33% of firms with at least one unfilled position.
    • The percent of owners thinking it’s a good time to expand increased one point to 12%.
    • Real sales expectations in the next three months decreased two points to a net 3%.

As reported in NFIB’s monthly jobs report, job creation plans increased three points to a net 21%, an unprecedented recovery from April’s reading of 1%. Construction job growth continues to be strong but owners in the sector are having a particularly hard time finding skilled employees. The manufacturing sector’s employment remained strong but not as strong as seen in previous months. The service sector is the missing link and the key to stronger job growth going forward.

EVERYTHING IS A BUSINESS MODEL.  That rules the world – everything from CV-19 going through 27-million global cases shortly and 190-thousand U.S. deaths as the stats get updated.

CV-19 Jitter-Time

Two items of note: Pandemic Emergency: Rapid Screening Tests Struggling to Keep up with Rising Demand.

And a very useful article this weekend in the St. Louis American about how OASIS has online tool to check your risk for COVID-19.  Survey may be found over here.

And yes, I took it:  Key outcomes?

Which is why I tend to be meticulous, right down to still cloroxing goods coming home from the store – and yes, all online shopping.  No contact.  Reclussive…well….

Massive Forest Fire Mess

We mentioned in our weekend coverage (rambles more like it) that there was a red-flag event coming to the White River fire near Maupin, Oregon, which has more than 1,000 people fighting it this morning.  In all there are 32 crews, 42 engines, 12 dozers, 20 water tenders, and 7 helicopters.  One chopper pilot was killed on this one about 10-days back. 

Before the winds arrived at the White River fire however, they swooped through Malden, Washington, which is 35-miles south of Spokane.  Result? 80% of the buildings in an eastern Washington town were destroyed during a Labor Day firestorm.

More people means more media focus on CalFires’ operations: Planned blackouts, unsuccessful helicopter rescue attempt as California wildfires rage on.  And did you cat5ch where a “A gender-reveal stunt sparked a California wildfire that has forced 21,000 people to evacuate“?  Can’t make this stuff up.

Boeing Troubles Grow?

Word is that concerns about quality on the Boeing DreamLiner has come under official scrutiny.

Related:  Sure, it was a busy air travel weekend, as TSA reports busiest day for air travel since March.

But going on in background, people are rethinking travel at a deep level.  And that causes ripples like Future of Bradley International Airport, once bright, turns uncertain amid pandemic and plunging air passenger traffic…

Around The Ranch

Hold good thoughts today for:

  • Long-time reader Tim.  Whose wife just had serious surgery over the weekend.  Appreciate any good thoughts sent her way.
  • Also for our friend Bruce.  He and his wife are making an RV trip – a last one possibly – because he’s in declining health – prayers for safe travels and deep joy on the trip are appreciated, as well.

Cardboard Furniture Follow-up

More pictures from LOOTB – our reader who has been building cardboard furniture to demonstrate what can be done.  Building a bar presently…

Came with note:

“…I haven’t tried it yet.. but maybe a corny keg would fit.. but now with an ice bucket.. I am thinking about making a drip tray.. the crest would look nice for some glass coasters.. It rolls real good and is sturdy with the rollers under it.. I was afraid they would rip off beings it is cardboard.. when I set it down.. I pre drilled then filled it with filler and glue..  ARM-R_SEAL is what I will coat it with.. after i put on the pouring medium..

All from Cardboard!!!  Which “shows to go yah” there is no such thing as “poor” for the motivated creative soul.

Temporary shortages of funds?  Well, sure, there is that… But poor is a choice and most people sit on their asses rather than make the “I’m successful whereever and whenever I choose…”

Cardboard Violin Research

One last item and this is trippy:  Grady – who you’ll remember as the whiz programmer on the Nostracodeus project – also makes violins.  Yeah… from scratch.  (We’re renamed him  Gradyvarius.

Anywho, getting Grady and LOOTB hooked up to see if these two gents might be able to build a  cardboard violin.

Wait!  All this talk about music gets me to  this note:  Chris Tyreman (Chronicle Project) sent us a link to the retooling of the Queen song into something called Coronavirus Rhapsody which you can find on Youtube here…

Songs of schizophrenia, anyone?

Off now for another day fighting for “Truth, Justice, and the American Way!  And who, fights a never-ending battle for…uh… seconds…”

At click-time, Dow Futures are down 115, Nasdaq down more than 3% and S&P down a full 1 percent.  But none of this is a suprise, because you did look at the chart in the lead today, right?

  1. Owning a construction company I can tell you that while its true its hard to find any kind of employee that will come to work everyday,its harder yet to buy supplies. Many construction companies have simply shut down and laid their workers off due to the fact that you simply can’t buy any material,but as I told the son don’t worry once they get the price up to where they want it you will be able to buy all you want,after all its the American way.!!!!

    • “Bring back Halon for these forest fires.”

      Halon will not make up for the lack of rain..
      what they need to do is let logging firms in to clear up the dead timber..
      https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2019/02/25/wildfires-caused-by-bad-environmental-policy-are-causing-california-forests-to-be-net-co2-emitters/#f73c8855e303

      the issues that brought up the bad policies were there were some logging firms that just didn’t want to take and replace the stuff that needed the attention they wanted to have it all to make more profits.. even with letting logging firms go back in it won’t stop the fires though.. the lack of water in those area’s will always give you dry area’s that will burn instantly.
      My wife just got back from an outing to the area south of the big fire.. she said it was scary the only thing green was the trees the rest would crackle as you walked across it from being so dry..
      The earth is hard, dry, and hot, because the ground is so covered with buildings, concrete, and asphalt that the aquifers cannot recharge when it does rain. What once was moist air from ocean breezes is now dried up by heavy auto exhaust and factory emissions of chemicals. I have said for years that we need to do green building.. use more earthcrete and promote greenscaping.. instead cement and asphalt is cheaper..
      China was and still is at this point the most polluted country on the planet.. they have what five times the population of the usa. well they realized that the actions that they have had has put their whole existence in jeopardy.. so they made policy changes to correct their industrial shortcomings.. they are right now the leaders in green scaping and putting policies in place to clean up their environment.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phmLSHmAQ9Y

      and use artificial trees to clean the air.. this can be easily put in place on every light post put a co2 filtering system.. easy and realitively cheap..
      china now outpaces the USA in renewable energy. I think all forms of energy should be used.. but like putting up a food stock do it a little bit at a time and impliment solar wind as you go starting at the furthest point from the power plants.. and work your way back to the power plant.. instead of massive solar farms that need huge infrastructure changes.. go smaller.. embrace solar and instead of discouraging home owners from putting systems on.. encourage it.. then as a payment to them freeze their rate increases for a ten year period as long as they allow the power companies to utilize their excess without paying them for the excess.. the power company comes out ahead.. doing that in our state with a cheap solar power system would generate what was it seventy five hundred megawatts an hour.. simple and easy putting a solar tree up at every boost station across the usa.. the cost is low to impliment and secures the grid from being disrupted.. strengthening our grid..
      we as a country will not do that.. there are other countries that do do that but they implemented those type of resources because of space. they didn’t have the space available to put in new power plants.
      The U.S. lost 11 million acres of America’s best agricultural land with superior soil conditions and weather for growing food an average of 175 acres an hour..
      to replace the CO2 for your car… as an example.. 0.242 ton of carbon ÷ 15.873 tons per hectare of forest = 0.0152 hectare x 400 trees per hectare = 6.09 trees per car.. the calculations are similar to that of a car and averages out to just about eight trees.. this is why we need to greenscape.. Unfortunately we as a species don’t make changes very well.. we won’t address it till it is a real hazard to us personally.. we can see that just in masks.. how many people argue about the use of a face mask.. its amazing..
      an artificial tree can do the work of what was it I figured.. three trees.. so in essence putting one filter on every lamp post could take care of a third of the Problems. created by asphalt and concrete..
      Of course I am just some crazy old man in the middle of nowhere with way to much time to contemplate odd crap..

      • The biggest single problem with all housing, and especially any electrical or plumbing issues, is the permitting and inspections. Under the excuse of “safety”, the bureaucracy will limit those who can make real improvements and raise their prices to the point that few will pay for them. Since there are real safety issues with distributed power systems, let the central power providers install a demarcation point, like the demarc on phone systems. That point would provide all safeties necessary to protect the power network from the end user. The end user is on his own and can do whatever he sees as in his best interest. If he burns his own detached house or ranch, he’s on his own, but he’s unable to fry a a lineman. That would be an incentive for all kinds of redneck innovation and Darwin would rule. Most people are aware of their limitations – sometimes to excess. A system such as this would be a strong incentive for individual self-improvement and self-reliance.

        Yes, there may be a short term bump in fires, etc., but it would be self-limiting.

      • “he’s unable to fry a a lineman.”

        The power company had similar concerns mike when I put ours up.. they sent people out twice a week for months..only to discover there wasnt a back feed if the lines were being worked on.

        Even if theres an issue with grid transformers they shut down. The damage we have had has been from main utility equipment failure not from the solar or wind. I personally want to get a break away swith so we’d hen their equipment fails their hookup will be broken and mine kicked on.. I know there is stuff to do that. Like putting in tesla powerwall. I just can’t afford the equipment to do it..so I like most take my chances..

  4. From J.S. : http://82.221.129.208/.ve3.html
    WITS spreadsheet shows over 100,000 Covid-19 test kits were manufactured and exported in 2018 !
    Has supporting text.
    You may remember it was reported that there were test kits being used in late January into February of THIS YEAR which were removed (supposedly) from service as they were found to be ‘contaminated’ with COVID-19 ! J.S. doesn’t address these in his comments but I have wondered where these kits came from as the virus was only ‘1-2 months old’ – could they have come from some of these?
    These kits where manufactured and shipped 1-2 years before the virus was identified.
    WTF?

      • Yeah, it seems silly that they even make the pretense of doing it “secretly,” but they certainly seem to be priming leftist activists for potential violence. They are making such a big deal out of the possibility of Trump not conceding, while at the same time not considering even the possibility of a legitimate Trump win without leftist taking to the streets and burning things down.

      • i am not American (From New Zealand). However the fight for freedom is a universal aspiration and what happens in the US affects us all, so my best wishes
        to those who are genuine in seeing America retain some semblance of sanity.

        On observing the protests one thing stood out, that many of us outside the US finf shocking. And that is the unbelievable levels of obesity among both the BLM crowd
        and the Blue Lives crowd.

        At the other end of the spectrum, the undernourished, pimply, and most unattractive Antifa people. (Meth ??). Certainly very poor diets and lifestyle.

      • They are being primed LIKE A PUMP; like sucking on a hose to steal gasoline to throw on a FIRE.

        For those that need it – MSM 24 HOUR Brainwashing.

        For those that need repetition and encouragement – 24 HOUR MSM Propaganda.

        For those that need money – George Soros and other globalists pay for the paid protestors.

        For those that need the end times, end of an age, destruction – the Phoenix.

        For those that need more time and mercy; PRAY.

      • *simon stevens* our guest from NZ seems to have hit the “proverbial nail on the head,” or so it seems to me too.

        Let’s say they are mostly people with personal issues.

    • Not “the Left” so much as the worldwide Neo-Marxist movement.

      What none of the talkers realize (or maybe they do?) is winter violence is hard-coded into this year, and has been since Soros jumped on the execution of a guy in Minneapolis as the trigger point.

      Trump wins, there’ll be mass rioting, “to protest a Trump victory.”
      Biden wins, there’ll be mass rioting, to force the new Administration into making concessions to, and de facto taking orders from BLM, Antifa, and whatever other group (or groups) Mr. Soros tags to run the show.

      There will be less rioting under Trump, because with the Election behind him, he WILL use the Insurrection Act to take cities away from communist anti- and un- American mayors and councils. Unfortunately, he won’t have said “community leaders” tried for insurrection and shot, so no matter how well the riots are eventually resolved, this crap will happen again in another generation or two…

  6. Sell off on Wallstreet continues.

    Remember the good old days George when a 400 point drop in the Dow was a big deal and the media didn’t have the scapegoat of “computer algo” malfunction. As if computers feel or think for themselves. Much like the staff on CNN and Fox. Lol

    The Grizzly is just working through the appetizers before the main course.

    Quick look suprised. Told ya before Trump won the election last time. Before he won the republican nomination. The economic collapse would begin happen before the end of his first term. My how much has changed since 2016.

    Not trading advice. I just see what i SEE and rite what I write.

    Right?

    Data doesn’t have feelings. Data is just data. We place emotional values on data. Data doesn’t doesn’t do it to us.

    Ok, back to the grand adventure and Great Work.

    P.S. a reminder, I dont say everything I see. I also try to ignore 99% of the “subconscious leaks” on Ure site. Even though i can see them. They ain’t about me and none of my buisness. Lol

    Later dude.

    • “I dont say everything I see. I also try to ignore 99% of the “subconscious leaks” on Ure site. Even though i can see them.”

      I am so glad you do, because my time also is limited in all respects.

  7. “We don’t do financial advice, but it’s fun to watch.”

    And then there is KISS ;-)! Some people are just too smart to make any REAL money in the stock market. After all, it’s just data and I’m glad that I already passed the point where I care.

      I dont hand out compliments very often. I rarely accept them. So I sincerely mean it when i do. Its not some chinsey dollar store trinket. It is heart felt and with intention.

      Mostly, because The Creator knows the shit i don’t. The sum total of all my abilities are pale in comparison to the Awesome and Mighty powerful hand of God.

      Im just a simple pilgrim on the egg with eveyone else. Lol

  8. This is from a few days ago but a great example of smoke and mirrors. Think of what means to be the business owner.

    “I’m the business owner.” What is owned?

    Everyone is right with the right wordsmith.

    A Kenosha man says the Trump-supporting ‘owner’ of a destroyed business in a photo op was actually his predecessor who sold the shop 8 years ago

    Tom Gram, the owner of Rode’s Camera Shop, is accusing President Donald Trump of using his destroyed Kenosha, Wisconsin, business for political gain, TMJ4 reported Tuesday night.

    – Gram said he declined to do a photo op with Trump and was then surprised to see the president speaking with the former owner of the business.

    – The White House called John Rode III, who still owns the property and building of the business, the “owner” of the shop.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/kenosha-business-owner-says-declined-052609187.html

      • If the building was being leased from a international conglomerate, would the CEO be the owner of the “shop”? I would have to side with Steve on the semantics on this one. But conversely, who knows what DJT was told before the photo shoot; he obviously didn’t set it up himself. This sounds like a campaign personnel issue.

  10. “Surveillance Camera Captures ‘Huge Pile Of Mail’ Dumped In California Parking Lots”

    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/surveillance-camera-captures-huge-pile-mail-dumped-california-parking-lots

    Interesting… Budget rental box truck and letters+parcels in clear, half-mill bags. Some look like USPS bags, some like drum liners.

    Amateurish…

    (unless it was really a U-Haul or Penske truck which they wrapped in a “Budget” skin) THAT would impress me.

    I’d guess, someone put out the word to encourage kids or hooligans to steal mail from wherever, and offered a bounty for every unopened piece… We’ll see.

    Did the mail come from one route or one distribution center, or from many? If it came from one, there may be a postal employee headed for a hard-20 at Lompoc. If it came from all over Greater L.A., look to the “kiddie underground.” If it came from everyplace, look for 200 FBI Agents on the case, instead of the 2-6 for a local investigation, and also look for an ad in 2backpage or cityxguide (the rags which replaced backpage) or in Craigslist, or on a comic book wrapper…

    This is an example of a newsworthy story which should just be filed away for a few years, to be referenced again after the FBIs fingerprint blotter starts cranking, because what little is made of it, will all be tabloid click-bait and BS…

    • Ray your usual myopic tunnel vision misses the real damage already done, but Soros is still the main bogeyman, darling Sponge Don Square Pants can do no wrong in your book…

      Your parking lot pic misses the rats, chaos, and missed medicine mailings (all due to the sorter removal by Trump’s buddy Dejoy, at the P.O.)

      https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-08-20/usps-cutbacks-post-office-chaos

      • Just as a counter to this (no fan of DeJoy though) the Mail Unions have been pressuring their members for contributions to slow Joe – and one thing they promise is the machines will be up and more overtime and… well, it’s everyone’s working a business model here.
        Just depends which model your friends will benefit from.

      • “myopic tunnel vision”

        That’s a really sad attempt at projection. You should maybe read Goebbels, instead of taking some educated idiot’s opinion of what he wrote…?

        Lessee, projection, name-calling, straw-man? You’ve got Alinsky’s theory down — you’re just not very good at executing it.

        I don’t usually respond to mindless trolls, but I’ll make an exception here, in the hope I can save people from being once-again sucked into a disinformation trap.

        Let me ask:

        How many of those packs of meds went through the sorter?
        How many parcels?

        How many of those sorters were scheduled for removal by Brennan, before Trump even took office?

        Why would any rational human being believe DeJoy began removal of sorting machines before he got the appointment as Postmaster General?

        Why, would the Trump Administration remove sorting machines to make mail-in balloting more-difficult, over a month before the subject of mail-in balloting was ever broached?
        ____________

        The whole thing is a manufactured issue.
        The people who manufacture these aren’t very good at it — they depend on hysteria rather than empirical or historical fact.

        Hysteria works with the stupid and uneducated. It does not work with people who’re capable of cognizant, independent thought, and research.

        Those who follow news see a whole bunch of manufactured issues. Some people get “sucked-in” to the hysteria. Others research, determine an issue is manufactured, then ignore it.

        If an issue is manufactured today, it is still a manufactured issue next week, month, or year.

        BTW, if’fn you don’t like the rats or chaos in Glendale, perhaps you should take that up with the City Council…

      • “is still the main bogeyman,”

        What is the question that should be asked…
        No matter who it is that’s pulling the strings..
        Everyone knows that the strings are being pulled.. those whose strings are being pulled know their chains are being pulled. Similar to a child that sets out to irritate someone..they know they are doing that..the parent knows hes being played..

        WHY.. a parent will at some point flip and the child would be doing extra chores or standing in a corner till their hair turns grey .
        WHY do they let them do it..we keep voting in the same lazy do nothing legislators that lie daily to the people.. they know they are being manipulated to start wars make stupid legislation.. take this another step.. the leaders and legislators of other countries are being played the same way by the same people.. tet those playing with everyone causing all the evil issues. Sit back and take no retribution for their evil ways. WHY..?? Instead they sit back and watch their evil deeds play out..blame is shoved on someone else.. if it’s really ugly organizations that are to serve and protect bury the u GB ly actions of those very people..even though their numbers are but a couple hundred they use everyone for their own desires..

      • Yeah right Ray, ‘the whole thing is a manufactured issue’ (pretend it didn’t happen)…

        Those photos say a thousand words and they don’t lie!!

        Sorry to interrupt your delusional hero worship with the reality of Trump’s deeds and intentions! You prefer your blinded fog cloud of denial…

      • This is why I don’t generally deal with trolls, and why I recommend others ignore them, as well:

        Here we have a post from a coward who can’t even spell his name.

        First, she constructs a “straw man” to which she then makes a snide retort:

        “Yeah right Ray, ‘the whole thing is a manufactured issue’ ”
        ____

        This is a “straw man” because the issue is not THAT mail was dumped, but whodunnit, and why…
        ________

        THEN, although this troll can’t think for herself, she is so presumptuous she tells me how to think:

        “(pretend it didn’t happen)…”
        ____

        Which reinforces the “straw man” by attempting to create the false narrative that readers are stupid because they pretend it didn’t happen. Again, the issue isn’t the dumping, it is the who and why…
        ________

        THEN she presumes a photograph tells a story and hasn’t been edited:

        “Those photos say a thousand words and they don’t lie!!”
        ____

        The video says exactly ten words, specifically that “someone dumped a bunch of mail in a parking lot.” While it is unlikely that the video “lies,” it is always possible.
        ________

        She makes a personal attack and ASSumes I worship false gods:

        “Sorry to interrupt your delusional hero worship ”
        ________

        THEN professes to know that Mr. Trump was driving the truck, or that whomever was, was doing so under his personal direction:

        “with the reality of Trump’s deeds and intentions! ”
        ____

        Given the current political climate and the upcoming Election, there is absolutely no possibility the interception and dumping of USPS mail could be of benefit to Mr. Trump, therefore IF it was done as a political statement, it was done specifically to harm Mr. Trump…
        ________

        AND FINALLY projects her inability to see reality onto me:

        “You prefer your blinded fog cloud of denial…”
        ____

        The troll ASSumes she knows what I am thinking, by projecting her own inadequacies onto me.
        _________________________________

        Bear in-mind the only reason I responded to this troll in the first place was as a warning to other readers, to not get sucked-in by such.

        When I was a forum Admin, I summarily banned the IPs of such as these, because they get off on seeing other people engage in flame wars, which do nothing for a community, and incite people who disagree, but would in real life respect each-others’ viewpoints, into a real-life dislike of one-another.

        Note:

        My questions of which parcels and medpacks went through a sorter were not addressed. This is because the answer is “NONE.”

        My question of the number of sorters scheduled for removal by Brennan (PMG under Obama (and until 6/15/2020) was ignored, as was my question regarding the number removed by DeJoy before he assumed the post and duties of PMG on June 15th.

        Nor was the question addressed regarding how Messrs. Trump and/or DeJoy knew to remove sorters to screw up mail-in balloting, a month before the subject of mail-in balloting existed.

        Neither these questions, nor their answers, belong in a thread about a truck dumping mail, but were brought up by the troll to clutter the thread and unfocus readers’ minds on the subject, which is the dumping of mail. This is a common tactic foist by the Left, of answering a question with another question, which shifts discussion or debate away from its original subject. It works well on live radio or TV, but only works in print for those who allow themselves to forget the original subject.

        I don’t forget…
