Thread – Excerpt from a Ross Rant (Election-related)

1. These following are excerpts from a recent “Ross Rant.” Joel Ross publishes these periodic reports that provide commentary on the changing scene with an eye toward wise future investments.

 2.

There never was going to be a new stimulus deal. Pelosi did not want to do anything that might help Trump, and she was hoping to trap McConnell, and make him look like he killed it so they could argue the Dems need to control the Senate.
3. My sense is that backfired. It is clear to most that she is the problem, and why, and that she does not give a damn about the people who are suffering. It is all about getting power. Unfortunately, Wall St kept being fooled thinking there would be a deal.
4. So the market was up and down depending on which false rumor they believed. Classic Wall St. Buy on rumor and hope. Sell when it does not happen, then buy again. Trader’s dream.
5. The EU is now in the midst of a major virus surge and that will kill any hope of a near term economic rebound as lockdowns get put back on. While in the US there are a few stories of hospitals in rural areas getting to capacity, reality is, most of the US has lots of capacity.
6. Cases are not hospitalizations. While those are clearly rising, they are able now to get people out of the hospital and well much faster. Joe can want to mandate masks all he wants, but that is not a federal possibility. It is a state action only.
7. So Joe can say whatever he wants, but he can’t do it, and there is no shortage of masks, gloves, or anything else. You can buy all the masks you want in stores or online. Making more masks faster is not solving anything.
8. Getting people to wear them is the issue, and in several parts of the EU there have been major protests against wearing masks, and lockdowns, so it is not US only or Trump problem.
9. Dems tried to point to Europe as having done it all right, except on a per capita basis they are now much worse off than the US. Biden has said he might demand new lockdowns. There is now substantial proof that is the worst thing to do.
10. Reality continues to be that most businesses are doing very well now. 15 states have unemployment under 7% and it is likely that the US rate is under 7.5% now. Here is reality. This means workers are being hired much faster now.
11. It may prove that the end of the $600 really did matter to get workers going back to work. In August the layoff rate was actually the lowest on record.
12. Q3 weekly wages increased 8.2% over 2019, and 9.2% for the lowest level workers. They were up 11.8% for Latinos and 9.3% for blacks. That will matter on Nov 3. Loan defaults are lower than banks expected, and credit scores, on average, are higher than any time since 2005.
13. Savings remains very high at 14%. September retail sales were up 5.4%over 2019. Home construction is booming, creating more jobs than workers to fill them.
14. The biggest problem is CA, NV, IL and NY and a few other blue states that did not reopen as much. Their unemployment rates were around 10.5% compared to red states which mostly reopened, and where the rate is around 6-6.5%.
15. Cuomo and DeBozzo are killing hotels and restaurants and many ancillary businesses. Midtown remains a ghost town, whereas uptown has lots of people around who are working from home.
16. Apartment rents are now down to the lowest in over ten years, and likely going lower. Commercial space, and especially retail in midtown is getting wiped out.
17. The conclusion is, reopening and getting schools open is the right thing to do, and giant fiscal spending is not needed. Some very carefully directed fiscal stimulus is needed, but it needs to go to PPP, some extra unemployment, aid to airlines, and some to schools.
18. The rest of what Pelosi wants is waste. Getting schools open would put many women back to work at nil risk to the kids. Like last term, virtual teaching is not adequate and minority kids are getting set back badly.
19. For the election, in battleground states that reopened, unemployment is not high, and wages are up, as are 401K values and home values. It is the economy stupid.
20. Add on blacks who now realize Trump got them jobs and not welfare, and unanimous police officer support for Trump and Republicans at all levels, and Cubans in S FL, and you have the makings of a possible win for Trump and R’s keeping the Senate.
21. There are large numbers of people I know who do not say anything, but who are voting for Republicans, and none of them are hicks from rural areas. We will see in a few days.
22. Trump did [the second debate] mostly right this time, and Biden made a huge mistake. He said he was going to transition out of oil and all fossil fuels, and he challenged Trump to show the video of him saying no more fracking.
23. So Trump is doing that at every rally on giant screens. It may turn out to be the dumbest thing any candidate ever said, and what changes the election outcome, which is why I now think Trump has a chance to win.
24. Now New Mexico is in play since oil is a major jobs source there, and key to that state economy. Biden likely just lost PA no matter what games the Dems play with ballots.
25. I also believe the black & Latino vote for Trump will be much larger than anyone is predicting, & that gives him FL, AZ, OH & PA. Think about this scenario: Biden wins, but R’s hold Senate. Barr appoints special council before he is out of office to investigate Biden family.
26. Sometime in 2021 they have the proof Joe got benefits - Hunter and James paid his bills out of the foreign money - same as the foundation that paid Clintons over $100 million, and many of their bills with foreign money.
27. Senate demands House move to impeach. Special counsel indicts Hunter for money laundering and child porn. The House refuses to impeach. Constitutional crisis. Or, Joe is forced to resign and heels up Harris is president. Very unlikely, but not impossible.
28. I am trying to understand Biden economics. He says he is going to get a lot of companies to bring their operations back to the US, but then he is going to raise their taxes by 7% to a rate near the highest in the world, ….
28A. … plus raise payroll taxes, eliminate some deductions, institute a minimum 15% tax on “Book income”, and materially increase regulations. Got that.
29. He is going to shut down fracking which produces very cheap gas for utilities, which is why the US leads the world in carbon decreases at 15%, but he is going to reduce carbon by ending gas production. Gas from fracking is ultracheap, so energy is ultracheap in the US.
30. How does all that work when there is no more cheap gas. He is going to employ 10 million by having them build auto chargers, windmills and retrofitting buildings. Who is paying to retrain all these people and then relocate them to where these supposed jobs will be?
31. And what will be the wages for guys installing insulation vs what they earned as a worker on an oil rig? Small issue is, there are not 10 million of these people to hire. Who pays them while they are between jobs and getting retrained?
32. Who is paying to change utilities over from gas to wind and solar, and what do we do with all those closed power stations? I assume the consumer pays.
33. Oh yeah-then there needs to be all those batteries for night time power transmission if you do not have fossil fueled power stations as backup.
34. I guess the thousands of miles of new transmission lines to bring the power from wind farms and solar farms get paid for by consumers? Taxpayers? We will ignore the thousands of dead birds from windmills.
35. Then there is a little issue of energy independence from fracking which has given the US the ability to shut down Iran and strong-arm OPEC.
36. Not to worry- old Joe is going to get everyone to love us again, and by reinstituting the Iran nuke deal we will buy all that oil during the “transition” from Iran so they can build their missiles, and nukes, and launch terror plots. Obama did it, so why not Joe.
37. Someone who is an engineer needs to explain to me how you lubricate equipment without oil-based products, or make plastics, or other products, or what do we do with the tens of millions of gas-powered cars, and machines.
38. Oh, and those pesky farmers who produce ethanol. We will just have them grow and process pot. And then there is that annoying huge fiscal deficit which causes interest rates, inflation, and middle-income taxes to rise.
39. I think I need to go back to Wharton to learn how all of this works.

40. Ross’s Rant give us all aa lot to think about for Election Day! The choice is crystal clear, isn’t it? Subscribe here if you are interested in the entirety of these rants, past and future. ///The end.

Thread – Does the Buck Really Stop with Mike Pence?

1. A pal sent me this Facebook post by “Rod D. Martin.” I pass it along as food for thought in the frenzy leading up to the “great expectations” of 6 January.

2.

We absolutely must resist the massive fraud which has just been perpetrated on our country. But at the same time, we must not grasp at hopes which are not hope.

3. Some believe that the Constitution grants Vice President Mike Pence almost magical powers to overturn the improperly certified election "results" from the stolen swing states. They base this on just one clause, plus a lot of internet rumor.

4. This is the relevant sentence, from the 12th Amendment: "The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted."

5. The [various] theories being articulated freight this clause with a shocking amount of weight. Where, for instance, does this clause state that Mike Pence's rulings are unappealable?

@atsumori5834 An Argentinian variant of Italian fascism with stuff from German National Socialism that took an unexpected turn and led to a globalist and progressive ideology. Menemism was a conservative variant but not faithful to the doctrine and from that new generation arose Kirchnerism.

The Kirchnerists are antifascists and "supercapitalists", which is a term used by Juan Perón to refer to a deformed, monstrous style of government, the result of the fusion between Marxism and Capitalism (Globalism).

The Kirchneristas dubbed themselves Peronism and little by little they are making the orthodox Peronists treated like outdated garbage and surely soon persecuted as if they were authentic NationalSocialists. A tragedy.

Peronism is full of progressives, globalists, left liberals, feminists, zionists...
Left: Juan Perón, creator of the Peronism movement.
Right: Alberto Fernandez, actual leader of the Peronist movement. Pathetic.


In addition, the Kirchnerists give our sovereignty to the Chinese, and they do not recognize the value of our Japanese brothers. But Perón admired the Japanese a lot. Carlos Menem also maintained excellent relations with Japan

How PM Imran Khan was humiliated during OIC conference.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has condemned the construction of the Ayodhya Ram Temple in India at the Conference of Islamic Countries (OIC).

UAE,which chaired the confernce asked Imran,What is the problem for the Islamic world with India building a temple in their country?
What is the problem for the Muslims of the world with the AyodhyaRama Temple? We hv no interest in interfering in the intrnal affairs of India.

In addition, we have provided 13 acres of land in our country for temple construction and 13.5 acres of land for parking and other facilities for Hindus.

Nowhere in the world have Hindus, who live and study attempt or incite riots or carry out suicide attacks in the name of

religion. They are peaceful and live according to the laws of the land.

Temple construction in India is an internal matter of India.  That is not the issue to be discussed here now.  India will look after India.

When will Pakistan repay the money it

borrowed from OlC? All Islamic countries except Pakistan contributed to this fund. Pakistan only borrows but failed to pay up.

Then the President of the Maldives stood up and began to say "The separatist and coup attempts instigated by Pakistan have created many internal

#endsars #endpolicebrutality

Dear Friends,

On a rather deeper look at things, Police brutality is the topmost of the agitation but the anger and fury is deeper, bottled up for many years. An oppression our fathers have endured and the children now say No More, Enough is Enough!

In the context of the current scenario “SARS” has become a metaphor.

“SARS” in our society today represents all the inefficiencies, corruption, structural imbalances, faults and All the shenanigans of the Political class

If this present fury does not inspire an overhaul of the Nigerian system, then we may be headed for another restless round of 60 year of disastrous merry go round. This Nation needs a RESET NOW!!

It’s a good time to negotiate the fixing of this great Nation.

How long do we keep singing; Nigeria has great potentials? Let those potentials start working for good

If we must tell our selves the bitter truth as a people we urgently need to fix these;

* A drastic cut in cost of governance
* Federal Ministers shouldn’t be more than 10

* Remove the lofty attraction in public office
* Reduce the powers of the centre and decentralize reasonably
* Fix our defective constitution
* Reset the civil service
* Create regional economic/developmental competition
* Allow states to explore their resources/endowment

TEXT OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY THE HON. MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE, ALHAJI LAI MOHAMMED,ON THE ONGOING APC MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION EXERCISE ...IN ORO, KWARA STATE, ON MONDAY, FEB. 15TH 2021

#Thread 👇


Good morning gentlemen of the press.

2. As you are aware, the All Progressives Congress (@OfficialAPCNg ) membership registration started in Kwara State on Feb. 9th 2021.

Ahead of my registration this morning at my polling unit, PU 006, Oro Ward 2, we had sent out our people to monitor the process to ensure compliance with the guidelines stipulated by the party.

The reports from our monitoring teams are out, and I wish to inform you, gentlemen, that sadly, the whole exercise did not comply with the stipulated guidelines.

3. The guidelines stipulate consultation with all stakeholders by the Registration Officials from Abuja. After the botched attempt to have a meeting of stakeholders, due to orchestrated violence...

Thread: #Greek police and secret service discover #NGOs have been hiding hundreds of illegal immigrants in caves


Members of Non-Governmental Organizations have been hiding hundreds of #immigrants in the last weeks in coastal caves and forests of the Aegean islands, in order not to be detected by the Greek coast guard and thus to facilitate their #illegal entry into our country.

At the same time, due to their non-registration and taking health measures, there is a spread of the pandemic.

In addition, they had created a special internet platform to broadcast live the arrival of boats in #Lesvos and other #islands of the Eastern Aegean in order to "push" the Coast Guard not to prevent their entry into our country.

These are the conclusions of a second secret operation - with the codemame "Alkmini 2" of https://t.co/1BCe7Y74Fz. with the assistance of NIS against #NGOs that are active in our maritime #borders and which is revealed by "To Vima", with the presentation of relevant documents.

@ChenHuailun here. I'm adding a supplementary thread before today's scheduled one to expand on the origins and early history of the Church of the East (aka the Nestorian Church) ~ahc #jingjiao 1/


The Church of the East traces its origins to the christological position of the School of Antioch, which held that the human and divine and human essences (ουσία) of Christ were united in a single prosopon (πρόσωπον). ~ahc #jingjiao 2/


This ran against the position of the School of Alexandria, which held that the two essences of Christ were united in a single hypostasis (ὑπόστασις). In general terms, hypostasis is more inherent than prosopon. ~ahc #jingjiao 3/


One implication of the Antiochene rejection of the hypostatic union is that Mary could not accurately be called the Theotokos, or God-bearer. Instead, she is the Christotokos, the Christ-bearer. ~ahc #jingjiao 4/


These Christological debates were further complicated by Syriac terms such as 'kyana' (ܟܝܢܐ), associated with 'ousia' but later translated to 'hypostasis' by Syrian Orthodox; and 'qnoma ' (ܩܢܘܡܐ), sometimes contentiously translated as 'hypostasis' or 'person.' ~ahc #jingjiao 5/

Some quick thoughts on Sam Gyimah's resignation after conversations with various Conservative MPs: 1) the chances of a second referendum are a lot higher than I thought:

2) At this point, if you are a young and ambitious Tory MP it is now so overwhelmingly in your interest to vote against the withdrawal agreement. V v hard to see how Julian Smith can cap rebellion at under 100:

3) Really just to reiterate 1) Gyimah is the kind of "No, never gonna rebel" vaguely pro-EU Tory you'd need to get on side to outweigh Labour Leavers and Real Concerners.

One fascist to watch in 2021 is Joseph Charles "Oakman" Golinske of SE MI. He's been a Proud Boy for a couple years, but took a break recently from the group and promotes himself through the "Oak Nation" channel on Telegram.


Most people may be familiar with him as the tall guy in the Proud Boys bridge shot, from their August 17, 2019 attack on Portland, which featured an American Guard bus trying (and failing) to bludgeon antifascists with hammers.


He was also with his g/f at the time (Dominique Tota, left of Tarrio), and that's definitely a twitter account folks will want to block/report because he posts on it.


He's been plenty active at the pro-Covid/anti-mask/ReOpen protests in Lansing MI, seen here with Jerry Wayne and an effigy of Gretchen Whitmer, who his militia friends tried to kidnap and publicly execute.


Outside of the Proud Boys, his solo "career" with Oak Nation features the same misogyny, classism and gateway to far-right domestic terrorism the Proud Boys themselves feature. Here's him peddling oxychlorinque and bragging about harassing service workers.

UNTOLD STORY OF QUEEN BHAVASHANKARI OF BENGAL - A 🧵u must read

Know the role of Naga Sadhus

PART-1

One of the most underrated empires to ever grace India is the kingdom of Bhurshut from central Bengal.

1/


A medieval powerhouse this kingdom stood firm against the Pathan invasion from Orissa twice, and with each time devastating the enemy forces.

Along with this, we also have to note that this was the time when the empire was under the reign of a widowed queen named Bhavashankari.

She wasn’t even born in a royal family and yet she achieved what most of the kings couldn’t do

This begs the question, why does no one remember this great kingdom?

3/

Bhurshut empire thrived from 15th century till late 18th century as an independent kingdom while acting as tributary state with full autonomy.

4/

What’s even more puzzling is that no one knows about the great queen Bhavanshakari who thrashed the Pathans single handedly without the aid of their allies.
