Modest country seeking its rightful place among the family of nations somehow became the seat of globalist revolution for equality in the name of Christianity

 How it started:

How it's going:

Ron DeSantis is so finished the left allocates 4,000 words to Sid Vicious Blumenthal to tell you all the ways the Florida governor is nothing but a trolling nullity

"Give me my personality!"

 

DeSantis is so finished he's

 "flat, spotty, clotted, dim, implausible, non-viable, void, clueless, non-this, non that, mealy-mouthed, weak, crabbed, mean, reactionary, cruel, literal, comic, absurd, inconsistent, empty, authoritarian, insubstantial, contrived, static, drab, detached, vacuous, strained, forced, artificial, small, reckless,"

and in case you missed it the first time

"weak".

Sid Blumenthal, Hillary confidante, author of the birther narrative, wants you to know that Trump is right. Ron DeSantis has "no personality".

In The Grauniad, where else?

Yeah, he's right: Trump filed and paid his taxes and Hunter didn't FOR YEARS

Trump's taxes have been public for months now, and they found bupkis.

 

Capehart: There Is No Parallel Between Hunter Biden's "Legal Troubles" And Trump's "Mountain Of Legal Problems"

It's been a terrible year so far for investors in US Treasury securities because of the rising rate environment, but great for stocks

UST yields rose a net 1.31% in the aggregate week over week on 7/28.

DFF rises to 5.33% after the latest FOMC rate hike.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Year to date Treasury, Total Bond, Cash, and Total Stock performance using popular Vanguard funds:

VFISX +0.75% VFITX 0.90% VUSTX 1.58% VBTLX 2.05% VMFXX 2.75% lol VTSAX 19.99%!

Stocks have been the place to be, and cash has beaten even the total bond market.

Meanwhile stocks are obscenely overvalued at 169 using the latest report of GDP out Thursday:

 

Good morning to everyone except Nancy Mace

 

Average temperature year to date is still below normal in Phoenix, as is average max temp year to date, and yet they persist

 

 Phoenix brings in refrigerated morgues to prep for heat-related deaths...

 "as backup"

"we typically see a surge in intakes to the Office of the Medical Examiner (OME) in July"

 Average temperature year to date is still below normal also in Yuma and Tucson.

Headline pce inflation of 3% year over year is driven lower by the collapse in energy prices, mostly natural gas not gasoline

Natural gas is twice as important as gasoline for America's energy needs.

eia.gov says the United States used 369 million gallons of gasoline per day in 2022. That's the equivalent of 13 billion kWhr/day last year.

America also consumed 88.52 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in 2022. That's the equivalent of 26.88 billion kWhr/day last year, 2.06 times as much.

Gasoline is down 14.6% in 1H2023, natural gas 60.5%.

 

Pawn Vanity thinks Nancy Mace is pretty funny

 

Like I said . . ..

Core and services inflation remain well above pre-pandemic levels

 

Like I said, the culture is lost, especially among Republicans

 US Representative Nancy Mace (SC-1) is an unmarried used car. Twice married, two kids, 45 going for broke.

Those witnesses testifying about UFOs on Capitol Hill are missing something

 

Yup

 

Choice for GOP: Win With Ron, or Lose Everything With Don

Richard Porter, RCP

Well, well, well, close Biden family associate Alexander Mackler worked in the Delaware US Attorney's office 2016-2019

 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf featured prominently in the testimony of two IRS agents who spent years working on the Hunter Biden investigation. Both Gary Shapley and Ziegler, the IRS whistleblowers, said Wolf intervened to stop multiple investigative steps from moving forward, including by preventing FBI agents from asking witnesses any questions about Joe Biden’s involvement in foreign business affairs and by tipping off Hunter Biden’s attorneys about a planned search of his storage unit.

Wolf worked alongside Mackler in the U.S. attorney’s office before Mackler’s departure. She and Mackler prosecuted a major case together, for example.

More.

That's because the culture is lost, especially among Republicans

 Culture-war battles fail to deliver for Ron...

No job too low for Snakes "R" Us

 Woman hires deadly snake to kill boyfriend...

Hunter Biden most hurt

 Yet another load of drugs found floating off Florida Keys...

"Yeah, I got a new Xitter, what's new with you?"

 

NASA Psyche Mission headed to iron and nickel-rich asteroid possibly worth quadrillions

 The current value of ~208,874 tonnes of all the gold ever mined is only $14.47 trillion, so the discovery and mining of huge new supplies of precious metals could cause a deflationary depression . . . some day.

Launch date is October, arriving in 2029. 

Stories here and here.

Meanwhile we can exchange worthless pieces of paper for all kinds of stuff made in China.

Seems fair. 

Win or lose, Ron DeSantis is saying out loud the things which must be said by a Republican with actual skin in the game

 

January 6 Riot Was Not 'Insurrection' or 'Sedition'

Gov. Ron DeSantis, Stay Free

DeSantis' average in the polling has dropped to 19.3% in July from 21.5% in June, 39.9% don't want Trump in July vs. 40.9% in June

 The GOP seems more determined to go down with their captain than they did a month ago, however so slightly.

Meanwhile many-mucho-mega-multi-millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, age 37, born in Cincinnati in 1985, surges to third place.
