There is a whole area left untouched by this morning’s blog and that resolves around the idea of the Federal Reserve.  It used to be Judy was against the activities of the Federal Reserve but she’s been strangely silent about that the past few years and acted puzzled about it when I’d bring it up.  The Fed is paying businesses a trillion or more dollars of printing press money NOT to lend out all the money they have.  The Fed’s printing press money had financed the stock market and if you’re Judy or if you’re Mom you need to worry that the rug could be pulled out from underneath you any minute.  Normally this would be a cause for anxiety but not this year.  Not with Paul and Judy.  Traditionally if there is a strong economy on Election Day it bodes well for the party in power but that rule appears to be thrown out this year.  Deficits are down but nobody is even talking about deficits now.  You have President Obama and Vice President Biden, and first lady Michelle and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren- - the whole gang- - campaigning for Hillary Clinton and it isn’t doing a bit of good.  Neither is all this so called “boots on the ground” poll monitoring done by the Hillary camp.  Trump may not be organized but he’s getting the job done regardless.  An area where Trump will be in trouble with the Neo Cons however is the area of immigration.  Because all of these so called “trade agreements” have provisions in them that allows for unfettered immigration from one nation to another.  Of course Britain and France and other European nations don’t “vet” their Moslems as thoroughly as we do and they’ve had a lot of problems with terrorists there.  Thom Hartman regards the nation like a cell with membranes that either let things in or keep them out to protect the integrity of the cell.  Blanket amnesty is not my way of solving the immigration problem and nobody has suggested that- - except for Ronald Reagan who actually did it in 1986.  Too many minorities drive down the wage base.  Furthermore these people should remain in their own countries to fight for liberties there- - instead of one nation casting off its ‘undesirables’ to another country who somehow has to absorb them.  But this tendency to restrict free immigration is an area where Trump goes up against the Neo Cons.  They’ll have to work it out after the election.  Israel is another area where the Neo Cons and your traditional John Bircher of the 1950’s are at odds.  Sheldon Addelson is your typical Jewish mafia type whose ring all the candidates must kiss if they’re going to get his endorsement and all of the money that goes with it.   

A black Christian church was firebombed in Mississippi- - not fifty years ago but last night.  Somewhere there was a spray-canned message of “Vote for Trump”.  Norman Goldman is talking now about Timothy Mc Vey and the Oklahoma City bombing of April 1995 where over a hundred people lost their lives.  Donald Trump needs to repudiate the KKK and other hate groups.  In 1995 many blamed the Oklahoma City bombing on the atmosphere of hate generated by Talk Radio.  It would seem that Talk Radio is fertile ground to get revved up for Trump supporters to stoke their general hatred.    Meanwhile there has been “leak after leak by the FBI” according to Norman Goldman.  Rush Limbaugh made the case this morning that the whole E mail server in the house bit is because Hillary was trying to hide the fact that the Clinton Foundation is giving out political favors for money.  Now there is a “document dump” on the Clinton pardon of Mark Rich.  Meanwhile there is a secret server tying Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin directly.  Norman Goldman is saying there is an FBI “civil war” of the “battle of the leakers”.  You have leaks and counter-leaks.  All I can say is if Trump wins on November 8^th and the next day the FBI says there was no evidence against Hillary Clinton after all, a lot of Democrats themselves are going to cry “foul” as they witness a true election rigging.  (Selah)  In Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and in Pennsylvania- - Donald Trump is considered the more honest of the two candidates.  It’s amazing what a little FBI leaking will do in “trial by imuendo”.  

 A BLAST FROM THE PAST:  Sept 2005  Rush Limbaugh was a bore today.  We have a reality where thousands of people may be dead in New Orleans.  They still have not even begun to count the dead bodies.  They’re only saying they don’t expect to find too many people still alive, which seems very premature.  One ex governor said that tens of thousands of people may be dead.  We’re living with the reality of another 9 – 11 type emergency, so both Bush Administrations will be over-shadowed by tradgities.  This event will cast a shadow into the future for a long time. [maretial omitted here]  All the talk shows are bringing up the subject of race and income pertaining to the refugees from New Orleans.  Rush Limbaugh went so far as to contrast New Orleans with Houston, which he describes as a much healthier city, with more of an entrepreneurial spirit.  He says Houston had to dredge out their harbors to make way for oil tankers whereas New Orleans had a natural harbor.  The people of Houston just have more of a “can do” spirit and aren’t dominated to Liberal politics and Black mayors the way New Orleans is.  As I said this event is going to cast a shadow for the next year or two, until an even bigger storm comes along and they will deny that that is Global warming, too.  They need our continuing prayers.  There are not steady convoys of busses leading from the Superdome to Houston.  Instead looters have shot at helicopters there to rescue people.  The stadium did not have any food in the concession stands.  If there were all the beer would be consumed.  Of course there is no air conditioning and the place is beginning to smell.  All of the toilets are backed up.  They should enjoy riding on an air conditioned bus.  People like reporters are starting to “tour the town” to confirm that looters seem to only be down town and not in the “Garden district” plundering rich peoples’ houses.  People are saying maybe the New Orleans Saints will want to move to LA.  I guess talk of that is premature.  Apparently the stock markets are up.  Gasoline prices locally are hovering around $2.85.  I guess that isn’t too bad.  I guess our local refineries are good for something, though you’d never know it most of the time.  Obviously we’re going to experience another of those “9 – 11” type economic slumps.  People like Rush are looking for that pot of gold- that silver lining, economically down the road.  I wouldn’t count my chickens before they’re hatched.  Sometimes a bad event is just a bad event. 

June 2007:  The lead story of this day appears to be that people like Congress even less than they do our President.  President Bush is at 29% in the polls, which is one point from his all time low.  But Congress clocks in at 23%.  There is little mystery about why the people think so little of Congress.  In 2004 the American people elected congress to fix the Social Security impending time bomb when the baby boomers retire in about ten years.  They didn’t get it done.  Last November they elected a congress to end the War in Iraq and to fix the looming immigration problem.  Now congress is under pressure to address both of these problems.  But they live by an axiom: When in Doubt, Cowardice is the Way to Go.  This whole idea of “Not making a mistake” is an ethic we have the Born Again Christians to thank for – particularly people like Chuck Smith.  They believe if God doesn’t do it, then it wasn’t very important to begin with.  But congress apparently is busy about screwing up any possible energy bill.  Liquid coal conversion is an idea that I myself flirted with.  We have all of this coal in Montana; why can’t we turn it into gasoline like the Nazis did during W W II?  The answer is because the “carbon footprint” is double normal gasoline production, and it also turns mountains into moonscapes.  In Alberta, Canada they tried it with their “oil sands”, and though it made a lot of money for investors, it devastated the land and resulted in the destruction of countless forests.  And congress wants to fund this giant plane that’s supposed to take off vertically and fly at seven hundred miles per hour.  But it doesn’t do either of these things.  Congress is supposedly working on a gasoline mileage bill where all vehicles are required to get at least 35 m p g.  But they are filling this bill with loopholes.  Someone has pointed out that while people are buying SUV’s their roll over rate is more hazardous for small children than an ordinary sedan.  Some like Thom Hartman say that Bush secretly enjoys the idea that the Iraq war has pushed up oil prices because we have incapacitated that country.
