Gary on stuff!
By Gary Kaltbaum- June 22,2016
A few thoughts one having nothing to do with the other:
We think the dreaded Brexit is not the big deal pundits are making it out to be. A) We think odds favor the vote will go against leaving. Human psychology does not like change. But to our bleary eyes, even if the vote is a “yes” to leave, what changes? Are people not going to wake up and go to work? Is the world really going to end? After all, the U.K. is quite the self-sustaining place with their own currency. Of course, this is just guessing but how many times have we heard the call for “end of the world”-type scenarios and then…crickets!
Leave no doubt, this proposed Tesla for Solarcity incestuous buyout is an owner saving a company from extinction. Nothing more!
Oooops…Janet is all of a sudden again worried about the global economy. Nope…she is worried about global markets but firstly, she is worried about the upcoming election. As we have stated, there will be no rate hikes the rest of this year and if things turn down meaningfully, you did notice she said it was completely legal for the Fed to go to negative rates?
Two weeks ago on the weekend Fox News show, “Cavuto On Business”, we simply stated that things are going to be different for Donald Trump moving forward. During the primary, he was up against Republicans…thus the media played nice-nice. We went on to state that now that he was up against Hillary, that same “nice-nice” media would go after him with sharp teeth and a fervor we had not seen in ages.
At that time, the big news was that there was a criminal investigation into Clinton’s emails…crickets. What did the media report? The only headline we saw was about Donald Trump supposedly not paying bills decades before. Well, we woke up this morning to a CBS Trump interview. Amazingly, a CBS head honcho told Trump that some economists believed his economic policies would create trillions of dollars of debt. Really! They are actually asking that question of a candidate that has never run the show but they do not ask that same question of those who created the last $20 trillion of ACTUAL debt. NOW they care about debt?
We do not remember one question being asked by the mainstream media to Barack Obama about his $8-9 trillion of new debt that he created during his administration. We do not remember asking him about the bold -faced lie that he lowered the deficit in half when the fact is President Obama first more than doubled the deficit before it came down. We do not see them asking him about the fact that future debt and deficits are set to skyrocket directly because of his policies. We do not remember one question about what those deficits and debt do to the future of the economy but all of a sudden, it matters.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is just the start. There will be no more Hillary scandals to report. There will be no more Hillary troubles to talk about. We are already hearing about a network blackout of an ex-secret service’s opinion of her. Do you think there would be a blackout if those opinions were for someone in the other party? For the next few months, Donald Trump caused the Chicago fire, the San Francisco earthquake, the Zika virus and the downfall of civilization. And for the record, we did not vote for Mr. Trump.
I was a registered Repocon for many years of my life until the end of Bush’s 1st term as President and his administration almost imploded Iraq. Now I am independent, and it seems we get worse and worse options every year from the 2 parties. Almost like Venezuela prior to Chavez, and Rome as then began the process of falling. Most might agree with me that all the candidates during this election process has left a lot to be desired, and then it was Hillary and Donald. Well, I can’t vote for another Clinton in the Whitehouse, and Donald was a conundrum (where does he stand, how can he say such ridiculous things at time, what an ego, etc.). So, earlier this year I figured I would have to throw my vote away one more time giving it to a Libertarian. However, now that I see how Donald has rocked the political establishment and the media, I think I will have to vote for Him. It is kind of like the Pharisee’s when Jesus rocked their world of power and control. We know the history on what they did to maintain power and control. While Donald is no Jesus, and he is probably a lost soul, I think he will get my vote this year!
