This weeks “AMERICA THIS WEEK With Eric Bolling” monologue:

WELCOME TO AMERICA THIS WEEK... 
THERE'S NO SUGAR-COATING IT... LAST WEEK WAS TOUGH TO SEE...
TOUGH TO HEAR...
AND TOUGH TO RE-LIVE AS MORE AND MORE DETAILS EMERGED ABOUT THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL AND THE LIVES LOST...

 LOST. 
BUT WE AS A COUNTRY HAVE TO FACE THIS HEAD-ON... 
THERE'S NO GOING BACK TO THE WAY WE USED TO BE. 
THIS MORNING, I REALIZED THAT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO CHANGE.
  NO MATTER HOW I VOTE, NO MATTER WHAT I SAY, AMERICA IS NEVER GOING TO BE THE SAME...
I'VE BEEN COVERING POLITICS FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES.. 
AND THIS MOMENT IN TIME... WE ARE FURTHER APART AS A NATION THAN EVER BEFORE.. 
AT LEAST, IN MY LIFETIME..
MY FRIENDS ARE SPLIT.. 
THE LIBERAL ONES WON'T TALK TO THE CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS...
"SEE I TOLD YOU IT WAS GOING TO END THIS WAY"...
YA KNOW WHAT..? 
THEY WERE RIGHT. 
THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
MY CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS ARE STILL SHAKING THEIR COLLECTIVE HEADS.. 
WOW.. THINGS WERE GOING GREAT FOR FOUR YEARS..
  WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?...
THEY ARE RIGHT TOO...
THINGS WERE GOING GREAT FOR CONSERVATIVES.. 
THEY GOT THREE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES SEATED.. 
TAXES WERE LOWERED…
REGULATIONS WERE ROLLED BACK LIKE NEVER BEFORE SEEN.
  SO WHAT HAPPENED?
AS A LIBERTARIAN, I SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING....
THE RIGHT WAS GETTING THEIR WAY.. WHILE THE LEFT WAS GETTING MORE AND MORE DISENFRANCHISED.
  BUT ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES..
  AND THE WINNING TEAM ALWAYS HAS ADVANTAGES.
I SAW THAT AS IT WAS REPUBLICANS TURN NOW..
DEMOCRATS HAD 8 YEARS OF OBAMA AND THEY WILL GET THEIR TURN..
AGAIN....
WHAT I DIDN'T SEE WAS THE LEVEL AT WHICH THE STATUS QUO WOULD BE PROTECTED....
THE GRAVY TRAIN THAT IS THE AMERICAN POLITICAL SYSTEM WAS BEING THREATENED...
TRUMP WAS A NEW TYPE OF POLITICIAN... A NON-POLITICIAN..
HE WAS CHANGING THE WAY THINGS WERE BEING DONE IN D-C...
RATHER THAN BEING A FRESH NEW START, TRUMP REPRESENTED A THREAT TO THE D-C POLITICAL ELITE CLASS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.
FOR THE FOUR YEARS TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT, D-C WAS UNCOMFORTABLE… WORRIED THAT THEIR "GRIFT" WOULD END.
HERE'S HOW "THE GRIFT" GOES DOWN:....
LAWMAKERS SPEND OUR MONEY ON PROJECTS THEY SAY HELP MAKE OUR COUNTRY BETTER, SAFER, MORE EFFICIENT.
INSTEAD OF BEING STEWARDS OF OUR MONEY, THEY HAND IT TO FRIENDS OF THEIRS..
  FOR FAVORS, FOR VOTES AND IN SOME CASES FOR DONATIONS TO THEIR CAMPAIGNS...
EVER WONDER HOW A CONGRESSMAN CAN COME TO DC... MAKE 100K PER YEAR AFTER TAX.... AND LEAVE A FEW YEARS LATER WITH TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, HUGE HOMES AND VACATION SPOTS AROUND THE WORLD?
"THE GRIFT".. THAT'S HOW.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK TOO HARD TO FIND DOZENS OF EXAMPLES...
OF THOSE "SUCCESS" STORIES.
IT'S ALMOST UNHEARD OF FOR AN ELECTED OFFICIAL TO LEAVE CONGRESS AS A MIDDLE CLASSER... OR GOD FORBID.. POOR...
JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.
  EVER WONDER WHY......
  I HAVE TO SAY.. DC... IT'S JUST A GROSS SWAMP. 
PEOPLE USING EACH OTHER FOR FAVORS.
EVERYTHING.... "EVERYTHING" HAS A STRING ATTACHED TO IT. 
NO ONE DOES SOMETHING BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT.. OR GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY.. 
THEY DO STUFF BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY NEGOTIATED A RETURN FAVOR..
"IT'S THAT BAD IN D-C FOLKS.. I KID YOU NOT"
  SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US NOW?...
IT LEAVES US DIVIDED.. IT LEAVES US AGITATED... IT LEAVES US PERPLEXED...
WHERE ARE WE HEADED?  
  POLITICALLY, THERE'S A LINE DRAWN DOWN THE MIDDLE OF AMERICA... 
THERE'S A LEFT AND THERE'S A RIGHT NOW.... 
THERE'S NO MIDDLE GROUND ANYMORE.. NO GRAY AREA...
IT APPEARS, THERE ARE NO MORE INDEPENDENTS.
EVERYTHING IS RIGHT OR WRONG.. AND GOD HELP YOU IF YOU’RE WRONG.. 
YOU'RE LIKELY ABOUT TO BE CANCELED..
GONE ARE THE DAYS OF COMPROMISE.. OR THE DAYS OF EXPLAINING YOUR RATIONALE FOR SOME POSITION.
IT WON'T MATTER..
THE OTHER SIDE IS 100% CORRECT.. JUST ASK THEM.
  EVERYONE IS TAKING A SIDE....AND THE SIDES ARE PUSHING FURTHER AND FURTHER APART..
  USUALLY I LIKE TO END THE MONOLOGUE WITH A POIGNANT STATEMENT.. OR A THOUGHT PROVOKING COMMENT..

I'm watching the City of Austin press conference:

Judge Andy Brown says today's ice storm made roads incredibly dangerous, so please stay home if possible.

.@austinenergy : we are starting to get more power and are prioritizing turning on the power for people who have been without power the longest. if we can sustain this level, we can do true rotating blackouts

.@austinenergy : we have crews out in the community trying to fix things, but they are having people screaming at them and throwing things at them. Jacquie Sargent asks that people let them do their jobs and not harass them.

.@AustinWater : we ask that you DO NOT drip your faucets, stop using laundry machines, dishwashers, and if you know how to take care of a burst pipe please do.

City Manager Spencer Cronk: We know this is frustrating and I'm sorry this is happening. We have shelters open.

(Here is a list of the various shelters, some are for warming, some are for staying the

South African science was crucial in helping UK discover its new variants; but then the UK govt claimed (wrongly) that the SA variant is more transmissible. No evidence to support this, according to @krisp_news

From the Times article: SA scientists "were the first to recognize the importance of a genetic change in the spike protein, something that allows the virus to attach more easily to human cells, making it more infectious than the original version."

The SA discovery was shared on Dec 4 over the WHO’s Covid-19 Evolution Working Group. “Our British colleagues were able to go back to their own databases and interrogate them as a result of the work we shared,” Richard Lessells, an infectious diseases specialist at Krisp, said.

More from the Times article by @janeflan: "While working on a much smaller budget than their British colleagues, the South African team, experienced with work on HIV, have the skills to decode the genome of viruses."

"They started work on samples of the Covid-19 virus soon after the first cases reached South Africa in March. In October they identified the first example that had changed significantly."

The Government is making the same mistakes as it did in the first wave. Except with knowledge.

A thread.


The Government's strategy at the beginning of the pandemic was to 'cocoon' the vulnerable (e.g. those in care homes). This was a 'herd immunity' strategy. This interview is from


This strategy failed. It is impossible to 'cocoon' the vulnerable, as Covid is passed from younger people to older, more vulnerable people.

We can see this playing out through heatmaps. e.g. these heatmaps from the second


The Government then decided to change its strategy to 'preventing a second wave that overwhelms the NHS'. This was announced on 8 June in Parliament.

This is not the same as 'preventing a second wave'.

The Academy of Medical Scientists published a report on 14 July 'Preparing for a Challenging Winter' commissioned by the Chief Scientific Adviser that set out what needed to be done in order to prevent a catastrophe over the winter

Parents in cities, please pay attention to the reopening details from the Whitehouse.

Biden says "small classes". What we need to understand is how they plant to accomplish this.

Through "childcare programs in schools". We see this all over states w/ closed schools.


We need to grasp that the AFT, NEA, & local unions are systematically working to decouple education from childcare.

Their vision is your child sitting on a device all day, watched by a childcare worker, being "taught" from a Teacher working from

This isn't a paranoid conspiracy theory - it is already happening in the majority of districts across the US where schools are closed.

"Learning Hubs" open, supervised by childcare workers, sometimes in the same "unsafe" school

There is NO OTHER WAY to get "small classes" without Hybrid + wraparound childcare. Your child will spend 2-3 days per WEEK supervised by low wage workers and sitting on a laptop.

Here's

SRI THIRUNARAYANA PERUMAL, MELKOTE (KAR)

Known as Dakshin Badri, Thiru Narayanapuram is one of the four famous Swayambu Kshetrams, the other three being Srirangam, Kanchipuram and Tirupati.
The presiding diety is Cheluva Narayana Swamy/ Selva Pillai/ Rama Priyan.


Once, Sri Rama gave his aradhana murthi of Sri Ranganatha, to Raja Vibhishana on his request. So he was left without a murthi for his daily pujas. Brahma is said to have provided the murti of Selva Pillai to Rama who later passed this on to his sons, Lava and Kusa.


When Kusa’s daughter married a Yadava prince, this murthi moved to the lunar dynasty from solar.

It is said that the utsav murthi got the name Selva Pillai due to Sri Ramanuja.
Once, a Sultan took away this murthi and Sri Ramanuja went in its search to the Sultan’s palace.

Remember: Just because an idea is old doesn't mean it's good.

Knowing whether old ideas are more likely to be good requires understanding whether conditions have changed in important ways.

Horse archery was an amazing method of warfare for over a thousand years...then people invented guns, and suddenly this great idea that had stood the test of time became obsolete.

Then again, when underlying conditions don't change much, tried-and-true approaches are probably better.

"Learning the lessons of history" usually just means assuming ergodicity and stationarity in an informal time-series model...

Technical Analysis Masterclass- Part 2

'Entering the trade'

Entering a trade without ascertaining a certain things is gambling.

In this masterclass we will learn the pre-requisites to enter a trade.

DON'T ENTER A TRADE WITHOUT DETERMINNG THE FOLLOWING.

Please share.

We understand what reward to risk (popularly called risk to reward) is.
It will be denoted by R:R.

We will also try to bust a few myths about R:R and how to avoid losing trades.

Before entering a trade, you need to determine 3 things.

1. Entry trigger
2. Stop loss
3. Target

1. Entry trigger = Reasons for entering a trade. There could be multiple reasons or a single reason for entry.

Generally a set of reasons AKA confluence is a higher probability trade and a generally a safer entry.

Example of an entry trigger.


2. Stop Loss.

The price in the opposite direction of the trade where the trade is exited, at a loss.

At this level, the reason for the entry becomes invalidated according to TA and the price can then move in the opposite direction, probabilistically.


3. Target is the possible price level that the asset might touch based on previous trends or confluence AND where a possible reversal could occur.

Target is the next path of least resistance from where the price might reverse.

We will always ONLY use TA to determine all 3.
