I can’t take credit for coining this one and I must admit, though I saw the PsyOp brewing for over a year, I didn’t see it ending in real violence–and that is only beginning, I suspect. In today’s Journal, Daniel Henninger coins a couple of phrases, Political Disorder Syndrome and Political Shooter, the latter in … Read more
The day we’ve all been waiting for is…..CORRECTION. The day the mainstream media has been telling us for weeks that we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. James, “WORLD’S GREATEST NOTE TAKER” Comey will finally testify about his interactions with President Trump, and whether or not Trump obstructed justice. What shocking revelations will be made … Read more
Yeah, doesn’t sound right, does it? Well, whoever sets The Donald’s agenda has put this number one from the beginning. This was the only actual policy item DJT cited in his acceptance speech on election day and it’s likely the first (and maybe only) policy he will succeed in fully implementing. That effort starts this … Read more
Looks like everyone got the memo about this week’s meme. Trump is angry, withdrawn, alone (nice Home Alone reference in the second image.), and in a dangerous place. This plays into the overarching narrative that Trump is unfit, unstable, and going to nuke us all when an insulting tweet triggers him. These three segments are … Read more

This is a picture from the Trump-Lavrov-Kislyak meeting last week. For some bizarre reason, US press was not admitted, but Russian press was. Great job on the optics White House! This sort of provocation isn’t incompetence, it’s a set-up. Maybe Trump promised Zucker continued drama, free content and great ratings for a chance at the … Read more

Perhaps in retrospect it looks like it had always been obvious, but I remember the a-ha moment I had years ago riding in an Über–I even tried to buy www.guber.com (it was taken by a guy named Guber 🙁 ) for the nexus of google & Über that I had foreseen as the gig economy … Read more
The front page of The Wall Street Journal today showed this picture, which immediately struck me as highly unlikely. Look at the picture. The story is that Member of Parliament Tobias Ellwood (the man in the suit giving CPR to the man on the ground) got to work waiting for medical personnel, but the picture … Read more
I personally have known two people in positions of influence who either got free rent or way below-market terms on their mortgage as a way to transfer value under the table. There was also the story of the Obamas’ house, which they allegedly bought for a below-market price from a crony. So as soon as … Read more
