Biden order to block most illegal immigrants when crossings surge, as election nears.

FoxNews: Biden wants to close the border.

“To protect America as a land that welcomes immigrants, we must first secure the border and secure it now,” he said. “Simple truth is there is a worldwide migrant crisis and if the United States doesn’t secure our border, there’s no limit to the number of people who might try to come here, because there’s no better place on the planet than the United State of America.”

Biden should hand the keys to Trump right now and apologize to America.

Americans who knew the border invasion was a threat and bad for American citizens will not be fooled, and will remain Trump voters.

Americans who consider the border invasion to be beneficial and good for the Democratic Party, will be angry that Biden threw them under the bus and disgruntled Biden voters.

Biden did the same thing with the Israel/Palestine issue. He pissed off everyone.

Fauci says they made it all up.

At this point, it would be easier to list the Covid statements that were true and backed by scientific evidence.

NYT: Trump at UFC

Sixteen thousand people erupted into rapture when Donald J. Trump walked into the Prudential Center in Newark at 10 p.m. Saturday to attend an Ultimate Fighting Championship match.

UFC doesn’t appeal to me, and this article about Trump attending isn’t illuminating, but it did get me thinking about other presidents and candidates.

Where would Joe Biden go to revel in the embrace of his most avid fan base?

NY Magazine: Trump conviction

The author of the commentary, Jonathan Chait, describes himself as a liberal hawk. He is a committed anti-Trumper, but has criticized liberals and conservatives.

Trump trial was a miscarriage of justice.

The Trump conviction was a partisan hit job by a rogue prosecutor and a corrupt district attorney. Every thing you need to know is in that headline.

AP: Democrats Plan

The Democratic National Convention, where the president would otherwise be formally nominated, comes after Ohio’s ballot deadline of Aug. 7. The party’s convention is scheduled for Aug. 19-22.

For over a decade, the DNC knew that Ohio had an early deadline for presidential candidates to get on the ballot. The DNC paid no attention to the deadline, so Biden wasn’t going to be on the ballot in Ohio unless someone did something to fix the problem.

WSJ: The problem with nudges

The concept of nudging has become popular in the past few years—using psychological tactics to subtly steer people toward making better decisions that are aligned with their own interests or societal goals.

WTF WEF?

Klaus Schwab stepping down.

Ever wonder why everything, everywhere went to shit, all at once? It’s this alien-looking motherfucker.

He founded the World Economic Forum where all the elites gather in Davos, Switzerland to get their instructions. Globalism is his central theme. No borders, no meat, no fossil fuels, no religion, no private property and no nations.

He’s the guy that wants you to eat bugs.

He is stepping down from executive chairman, but don’t worry, his friends and family are positioned through out the organization, so it will continue to run. His acolytes are positioned through out national governments, tech firms and corporate media.

The change in his role is pending approval by the Swiss government but should be finalized ahead of the WEF’s annual meeting in 2025.

I’d like to see this statement explained in greater detail.

The Happiness Index

Happiness Gap

Because I just finished The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt, the World Happiness Report is of interest.

The US is ranked #23 on the Happiness Index. Only two spots up from Mexico, and 8 spots below Canada. I’ve been to Canada, it ain’t so great.

Dow hits 40,000, and the party goes on.

Fox Business: Dow Hits 40,000

It isn’t hard to see how the stock market keeps climbing. The federal government borrows a trillion dollars for a stimulus package or a boondoggle, or it doesn’t matter what it’s for, but the money finds it’s way into the equity market, and it keeps going up.

I used to think that eventually, the shit’s going to hit the fan. In 1988, I bought 10 ounces of gold and stashed it in a safety deposit box. Gold kept dropping and languished below the $430 per ounce I had paid for it. Fourteen years later, I sold at $445 per ounce. I’d made $150.
