Broad Appeal ?

(Broad Appeal ?)

Former President Trump was in Georgia last evening to make an economic speech. The former President is announcing how he, as President, will promote domestic manufacturing and for companies that produce outside the U.S., Trump will place tariffs of up to 200% on their products. Trump also promised the least regulation and wants to lower the corporate tax rate to 15%, And, Trump has been targeted for assassination, by Iran.


Vice President Harris ? She necessarily had to release her own economic plan that is the anthesis of Trump's. In contrast to Trump, she wants to raise corporate income tax to 28%. In contrast to Trump, she wants to raise the capital gains tax and she even wants to tax "un-realized gains." It goes without saying that if such policies ever get enacted, there would be a nine-hundred jobs lost, the GDP would be negative one percent But where the Harris heart truly lies is the codification of Roe vs, Wade and the expansive Democrat Senate Majority that has been the Holy Grail.


A Kamala Harris Administration would be more expensive and less one that is promoting growth. Tax cuts like Trump's promote growth. De-regulation promotes growth. Donald Trump wants to grow the economy. He wants "drill baby drill." He will use that to curb inflation. He will seek to grow the economy and increase the GDP. And, Trump is investigating ways to decrease the National Debt.


For Vice President Harris, however, hers, and Biden's Green New Deal spending, the $90 trillions worth, She plans to finance this monstrosity by raising taxes, limiting capital gains and so on. Harris will introduce price controls and remove any sense of innovation for American companies that would rapidly locate overseas.


Donald Trump wants an economy that works for the benefit for all Americans. The preference of Kamala Harris apparently is taken more global concerns such as the environment. It remains to be seen if that has broad appeal.

TEQUILA !

(TEQUILA !) Happy Cinco de Mayo or May 5th. One can hope that a lot of you out there are awash in inebriation, seeking to mainline tequila shots or enjoying a nice margarita on the patio. Or, in other words, relax. Take a breath. De-compress. May 5th as it happens is the anniversary of Mexico's victory over French "occupation" of Mexico by Emperor Maximillian, brother to Austrian monarch Maria Theresa in what has been called the Battle of Puebla. The reason France was in Mexico in the first place was that Mexico, after the Mexican-American War and a more civil conflict called the Reform War, had bankrupted Mexico City. Mexican President at the time was Benito Juarez, who repudiated all foreign debt, of which France, Spain, and the United Kingdom were all major holders. A naval expedition was dispatched to Veracruz and France's Napoleon III thought it would be a good idea to establish a French "empire" in Mexico. But, on May 5th, 1862, in the aforementioned B

Siege Of The Alamo

(Siege Of The Alamo) Any visitor to Downtown San Antonio will recognize the City's most famous landmark, the Alamo. An old Spanish mission that means "Cottonwood" in English was the site where the likes of Jim Bowie, William Barrett Travis and Davy Crockett and about another 185 Texians defended the Mission and its compound for thirteen days against the Army of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana and his 5,000 troops. The garrison was finally reduced on March 6, 1836. However, the Texian defeat at the Alamo and another one at Goliad, bought time for General Sam Houston time to fall back and then face Santa Ana at San Jacinto. There, Houston's army surprised the Mexicans and yelling "Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad !" all but wiped out the Mexican force. Santa Ana was captured and was forced to recognize the Republic of Texas. Which is now the State of Texas and, like 1836 Texas War of Independence, there is a new invasion from Mexico. Not the armed body o

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once

(Everything, Everywhere, All At Once) This was a film that had been honored at the last Academy Awards. No, it has not been viewed and Best Actor used to be "Encino Man." That being said, the aforementioned title capsulates nicely all that crap that is going on in the world all at the same time . The banking crisis, the new Sino-Russian Alliance, the President's recent veto, the border crisis beyond critical mass, And former President Trump is still set to be indicted, if not today than probably in the near future and Christ knows what else. With everything that is going down, however, the Biden Administration is singularly ill-equipped to deal with things. Take the banking crisis. One is familiar with all the financial services that get advertised on business shows and the viewer gets admonished that there is risk with any investment. That has traditionally been the case. Then Silicon Valley et al went under. As has been previously discussed, the bank was heavily invest
