The Morning Report — 7/22/22

meltd2.jpg

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and in less than 24 hours, New York City, my hometown will be in my rearview mirror. Bittersweet and not without some trepidation, I look forward to the next phase of my life. Last quarter or last third depending on the breaks, give or take. I have loved my life here and consider myself lucky to have been born a Brooklynite and New Yorker. It shaped me in profound ways that I don't think could have been the same anywhere else. Farewell, and in a real sense, rest in peace, my NYC.

As for the news, Rep. Lee Zeldin, the GOP New York gubernatorial candidate was attacked at a campaign event by yet another would-be leftist knife-wielding assassin. The attack happened within hours of Cuomo-with-vagina Kathy Hochul directing her supporters to the event. Of course, there's no causality and Zeldin had it coming. See the link regarding the halitosis-tinged incitement from Malig-Nancy Pelosi's gold-plated filthy sewer.

On a positive note, Larry Fink, the warped mega-billionaire, along with George Soros, Klaus Schwab and Hans-Jorg Wyss among others, using their wealth to destroy the world with the great reset, saw his baby Blackrock lose $1.7 trillion in value in just 6 months. In Karma-Land, Great Reset reset you! More please.

Sorry to cheap out and not write an essay but I'm heading out to get the rental car and take care of last minute things before departure tomorrow. Anyway, I have no furniture and writing standing at the kitchen counter gets old fast.

See you on Monday. Have a great weekend.

    5 Saint of the Day
    St. Mary Magdalen (1st c.) was a friend and devoted follower of Jesus Christ. Formerly she had been a woman of ill repute out of whom Jesus exorcised seven demons. Mary Magdalene has a special place among the Lord's disciples and is mentioned several times in the Gospels. She stood at the foot of the Cross with St. John and the Blessed Mother, and went the next morning to Christ's tomb to anoint his body. As a reward for her great love and faithfulness, she is the first recorded witness of Jesus' Resurrection. It was Mary Magdalene who informed the twelve Apostles that Jesus rose from the dead--for this she is called "Apostle to the Apostles." After Jesus' Ascension into heaven, Mary Magdalene continued her mission as an evangelist, contemplative, and mystic in the heart of the Church. According to the Eastern tradition, she went to Ephesus with the Virgin Mary and died there. St. Mary Magdalene is the patron of women, repentant sinners, penitent women, reformed prostitutes, contemplatives, converts, pharmacists, perfumers, hairstylists, and against sexual temptation.

    7 Byron York does that journalism thing and figures out Biden has illegally admitted lots of people since becoming Resident, and now Bowser/Adams are starting to bitch about the unfairness of it all.

    Put them all together, and it appears Biden has allowed as many as 2 million illegal border crossers to stay in the country they entered unlawfully, and that's in less than two years in office. That has, of course, created an enormous incentive for even more to cross the border illegally.

    10 Huh. Strange admission by the Daily Mail.

    "Most of the globe is currently experiencing a heatwave, with Britain recording its highest temperature at 104 degrees on Tuesday.

    However, the summer of 1936 was more deadly and hotter, more than killing 5,000 people.

    The hottest temperature ever recorded in the United States was 134f in Death Valley in July 1913 "

    18 Wife had lunch with a long time friend in Houston yesterday - an actual native of the Bayou City which is rare of the over 60 set - she and her hubby were up and moving to of all places, Wisconsin. 65 years of heat, rising crime and rising cost of living as she put it, traded for a small piece of land in Wausau. Dec-Feb should be a hoot.

    44 I remember years ago when Obama's administration was in full swing and a reporter actually asked Nancy Pelosi when she was going to stop blaming George Bush. She said "when the problems go away."

    The Jan 6 hearings are a continuation of that belief but now Trump is the focus. And the problem won't go away until he dies and anyone who even remotely supported him is dead or incarcerated forever.

The attack happened within hours of Cuomo-with-vagina Kathy Hochul directing her supporters to the event. Of course, there's no causality and Zeldin had it coming.

    If I were Zeldin, not only would I call out the despicable Hochul and spit on any phony 'apology,' I would remind my voters of Sean Connery's advice from The Untouchables.

    84 Tonypete nails it. Warning: people really DO give these kinds of 'directions' here. Be warned, a lot of residents have lived here for generations, don't know how to handle new arrivals, and are often super friendly but unhelpful for the stupidest stuff.
    It's a big festival of 'Well, everyone knows that, why don't you?'
    And not just 'directions' by local known landmarks ('The Yoder farm!') but, worse, landmarks that USED TO BE THERE but aren't anymore!

The next story was this one, and there was no commentary - just a brief statement and video clip about the events.

    The protest and small riot at the Capitol on Jan 6 - engineered and escalated by the Capitol Police themselves - was an attack on "democracy" but an actual assassination attempt against a Republican candidate is just barely more than a local news story.

    181 Look, it wouldn't be difficult at all to verbally (or even physically) beat up on journalists. If a journalist asked a right-wing figure some highly prejudicial question and he replied "fuck off shitstain, before daddy shows you his pimp hand," most people would applaud, because journalists rank just below tainted meat in the mind of the general public. There's no political risk to it, as Greg Gianforte once demonstrated.

    This happens so rarely because these "right-wing" figures are seeking the media's approval, and by extension, the approval of their Leftist friends, colleagues, and bosses. It's servile cuckitude, not fear, that dictates their behavior.

    They probably are already breaking rules. Who's gonna stop them?

    Also, the CalPERS losses are covered in the Sacramento Bee:
    https://is.gd/dUzXCl

    CalPERS is still beating the market. That $30 billion loss in the fiscal year ending in June was only 6.1%, and so it's down less than the indices. CalPERS is less disastrously managed than many other public employee retirement schemes, but the scale is so huge that its comparatively competent management is more or less irrelevant.

    PA is redder than Florida right now, if you look at the actual voting inclinations of the population, and ignore the inherent election corruption in the system. If they had Florida's election laws, GOP candidates would be cruising to victory.

    In PA you are seeing an Electoral Hysteresis curve in action. The corruption has been keeping the election outcomes Democrat for way longer than is correct given the demographics, when it does finally flip, the GOP will be entrenched in state politics for a long time, because they will have such a large edge in their coalition.

    Yeah, ancient illnesses and third-world hygiene are not targets to which one should aspire.

    But also, oral polio vaccine - that rings a bell. Oh yeah! The WHO and the Gates Foundation. The WHO's Polio-eradication effort - supported hugely by the Gates Foundation - is based on multi-dose oral vaccine in third-world hot spots, namely in Central and South Asia and Africa. Oral vaccine is also commonly used in Latin America.

    I suspect the guy with Polio didn't have a full course (OPV is multi-dose) or his particular vaccine batch was no good. The latter shouldn't really be a consideration, but fraud is everywhere now and rooking third-world governments or the UN by selling them saline instead of vaccine isn't something I'd put past a single pharma company or NGO at this point.

    That might prop up the local market, but that's about it. I strongly suspect we're heading into a major housing downturn. Probably not a full-on crash, but I think prices are going to head south (macro level). Real estate, like politics, is local and some areas (namely major interstate migration targets) will hold up better, but the movement generally is probably going to be "lower" and interest rates are going to be the driver.

    Assume your mortgage payment carrying capacity is around $2,000 a month, and you have 20% down regardless. At 2.5% interest (a few years ago), that buys you a $640,000 house. At 5% interest (now), that buys you a $475,000 house.

    We are entering what is likely a secular upturn in interest rates, and housing prices are going to suffer for it unless incomes seriously climb, which isn't likely. Wage growth is smaller than inflation, so payment capacity is shrinking, not growing.

    On a fixed-rate instrument, yes. This is how it works for homeowners with a mortgage. Outfits like BlackRock don't usually buy houses that way. The usually have a duration mismatch like most big financial outfits. They issue bonds or get other forms of debt and it's on shorter maturity and so they will probably need to roll over the notes more frequently (essentially, refinance). They still have access to lower rates than schlubs like you and me and that lessens the blow, but they also bought initially with rates lower than what you or I could get. Rising interest will hit them, too, although the mechanisms are different. It ain't gonna kill outfits like BlackRock (sadly).

    Today's Fed has choices that Volcker's Fed did not, namely a gigantic balance sheet they can start selling. That pulls money out of the system directly, at the expense of both that balance sheeting being underwater (they cannot remove all that they injected because asset values decline) and that selling it will move prices downward, compounding the problem. They've injected many trillions that they can't entirely remove, but they can remove some of it. That will hurt other investors when their asset values fall as a result.

    I *suspect* - though I do not know - that this is what the Fed will do. They'll raise interest rates significantly - though nothing like what Volker did - while also quietly disgorging a bunch of assets to pull money out of the system (the opposite of QE - sometimes called 'Quantitative Tightening' or 'QT'). They're walking a high-wire and could well fall off of it, but historically the Fed will defend the currency when push comes to shove.

    358 Between treasuries and mortgaged-backeed securities, the Fed said in May they "would begin" about $95 billion of tightening each month. No word if that has started, but I presume it has. The mortgage-backed portion ($35 billion per month) is actual securities sales, while the treasuries portion is capital withdrawal from commercial banks. Since most of those banks are probably over-capitalized that isn't going to kill rates, at least initially. Walking a tight-rope, they are.

    A fiber plant used in applications such as clothing, building materials, food, and auto parts, hemp could become a key component of cheaper, safer, better-performing, and less environmentally problematic electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

Stay no more than 9 miles over any speed limit and you might be OK but no guarantees. Put both hands on the wheel as they approach and be polite and you might get written up for a lower speed, but you won't get out of the ticket unless you are female and packing what Adrianne Barbeau was in Cannonball Run.

    At 4:30 in the morning, trains aren't even running, but a young woman and her boyfriend are on the train platform. She's changing outfits, in some degree of undressed of course. Some guy comes along with a gun and rapes her. I guess he holds the gun on the boyfriend while doing his thing.

    I dig that, but I also think that it's long past time for consistent standards.

    Donald Trump telling rally participants to calmly walk over to the Capitol and peacefully demonstrate is an act of insurrection because some people- people who were already there, I might add - from that demonstration entered the Capitol Building according to their standards. That being the case, Hochul telling her supporters to go disrupt her opponent's rally means that it is *not* simply bad luck or coincidental when that opposition candidate faces an assassination attempt.

    That is Hochul's fault by their own standards. She's an incumbent looking to preserve her position and she unleashed violent revolutionaries against her opponent in an effort to subvert democracy in what is, in essence, an act of state-level insurrection.

    No more double-standards. This is Hochul's fault.

    And it's muddy as hell with lots of kickbacks and other schemes.

    When I bought my first (and probably only, things being what they are) new car back in 2017, I planned to pay cash. I had a price I wanted. It was low, but inside the realm of reason given market conditions, manufacturer, inventory, model year position, etc.

    After three hours of dickering with the dealer, I got my price, but on the condition of financing the vehicle. That scored me another $500 off the price (getting it to my target) and got the dealer an undisclosed $250 kickback from the captive finance company. I read that paperwork *really* carefully, and found that my rebate was subject to claw-back if I didn't carry the loan for at least three months.

    I paid off something like 90% of it the day the loan went active to prevent major interest accumulation, then let it roll off over the next three months. That $500 rebate cost me $72 in interest and more than 90% of that $750 total subsidy got eaten by the finance company.

    444 Young couple I know hit a pretty good progressive at the casino, and instead of giving it back, headed for the car dealer. The salesman and manager spent more time trying to talk them out of paying cash than selling a car.

    Yeah, you have to shut that shit down right quick if you're paying cash. When I bought the car, the salesman started in on the payment calculation math and I told him very directly, "I am not buying a payment, I am buying a car. I want to talk price, not payment." He brought up payments one more time, after which I told him that his was not the only dealership in town and that if the negotiating terms didn't shift to price and do so immediately, that one of those other dealers would get my business.

    You have to be firm - though not rude - with them. If they really don't want the sale on your terms, they'll back out and let you walk out the door.

    Why? The bank signed that contract. They knew what they were on the hook for and accepted the risk of early repayment. Early repayment rarely happens and so they acknowledge and price in that risk. Your line item probably pissed off a loan officer somewhere in the chain, but you didn't violate the contract. You just caused their acknowledged risks to manifest. Nothing wrong with that.

    Fen, you know I have great respect for you and am grateful for the prayers and good wishes you send my way. But, IMO, awarding medals of bravery to the capitol police after J6 is not "something wrong." It is a betrayal of his office and shows a weak-willed pol who immediately bought into the left's phony narrative and, what is more rewarded the very instigators of the violence that left ordinary Americans dead at the hands of the State.

    Accepting and promoting, like Cruz, the idea that J6 was an 'insurrection' is a knife in the back of people who still foolishly believe that there is a right to protest a corrupt government.

    100% correct Red. the issue is, since the 30s? the govt has had the final say in what is and isn't a marriage, mostly for tax purposes i believe.

    it SHOULD be a matter between 2 people and God but the state can't let that happen. since that boat has said, for me, this marriage bill is how it SHOULD work. congress debates it, passes it (or not) and then has to convince the voters they did the right thing if they want to be reelected.

    my issue was that the courts said, i don't care what you voted for, you're getting "gay marriage and you'll like it". completely circumventing the normal order.

    498 In the face of unprecedented global energy shortages thanks to the radical “green” agenda’s push to move away from fossil fuels, the puppet-masters behind dystopian “Environmental, Social, and Governance” (ESG) scores are quietly shifting a portion of their investments into the oil and gas industry.

    In other words, the green grift has entered phase II as the climate warriors begin to capitalize on the crippled markets. It’s time to cash out.

    499 Yesterday Justice Kagan took her Impartial Mask off and tried to throw the Constitution under the bus:

    "Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan said on Thursday at a conference that the legitimacy of the Supreme Court is tied to its conformity to public opinion, Reuters first reported.

    "I'm not talking about any particular decision or even any particular series of decisions, but if over time the court loses all connection with the public and with public sentiment, that's a dangerous thing for a democracy," Kagan said at a judicial conference in Montana."

    505 10th amendment would be against the federal government being involved in defining marriage. Arguably the federal government could have a different regime for marriage than the states though.

    "Marriage" was defined at the beginning of human history and has been faithfully practiced in every time, culture, tribe and tongue by billions and billions of people. It transcends these pukes who forget that they are not gods.

    If they claim the power and authority to force other states to observe their personal redefinitions, then why not other countries? Why not declare sovereignty over everything rather than stopping at the redefinition of marriage?

    I don't think he delivered them directly to Philly. The story I read was it was a mid-state location and no one would sign for them. So he left them there. I know my county (Chester County - right outside Philly) had some very perplexing results based on historical averages and number of votes cast.

    526 Being " fair" and " evenhanded" with our enemy in our discourse may be the death of us.

    Bill Whittle, 2009: We are in a Political Fight to the Death with an Enemy Who Will Stop at Nothing - https://bit.ly/2ZA3LBo

    Alinski could see that moral people have to be held to moral standards when immoral people do not. We'd better learn a lesson from this, right quick. [...]

    Alinski and his followers want you to believe that if you fight dirty in response to people fighting dirty with you, then you have lost your morals and in fact your identity. But that's a lie.

    We are in a political fight to the death with people who will stop at nothing . . . And if we don't face the same realization as those Marines on Guadalcanal and give back as brutally as we have taken, then we will lose.

    This is why I don't believe the so-called "red wave" will matter at all. If the right still thinks the left are fellow countrymen who deserve respect instead of domestic enemies who want to destroy us... we have no hope.

    I do not know if anyone has explained how things will change with the GOPe in the majority starting in January 2023. Because that is all that will happen. We will go from a Democrat majority Congress to a GOPe majority Congress.

    But, in the end, it will still be a Deep State majority Congress with the Deep State in the leadership positions. So I do not see how anything will change.

    And then the 2024 Presidential election will be stolen by the Democrat Party again. The GOP needs to flip AZ and GA back to Red at minimum. And then I think need to flip two of WI, MN, MI and PA. The Democrats will not allow those states to flip. They went to Trump by 1% or less margins in 2016, only because the Democrats completely underestimated his popularity and Hillary's lack of popularity with a large segment of Democrat voters, who voted third party in large numbers.

    532 J.J., good luck on your move. I hope that life in your new location is all you hope it will be.

    I know how you feel. I left Chicago five years ago, and I still miss the place - or rather, I miss the place it used to be. I still drop in now and again, to visit the Art Institute (I was there yesterday, to see the Cezanne show) and other cultural establishments; but life here in Wisconsin is so much better, and more affordable, that I would never consider moving back.

    A great city takes a lot of killing; but never underestimate the Left's staying power. As W. B. Yeats wrote long ago,

YOU and ME. Which means HIM(Trump). I mean, do you really think he could have controlled Birx with the media completely on HER side?

    Shit, Trump was smart enough to pick the fights he could make headway in like immigration and not the fear porn.

    Respectfully gang, but shit... They have worked 6 fucking years to get rid of him and it ain't because of his mean tweets; he is an existential threat to the Swamp and a four year term without worrying about re-election scares the absolute shit outta them - and that is exactly why he needs your support. Shit, his rolling back the corporate income tax rate to 21% is going to save this fucking economy and you owe that to him, Lighthizer, and Ross. Man up!
