Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
RFK Jr. dropping out of the Presidential race and endorsing Donald Trump became more real yesterday when it was announced his campaign will make a big announcement in Phoenix on Friday afternoon. Trump is holding a rally in Phoenix later that night… One of the big pieces of news to come out is that Kamala Harris backs Biden’s plan for a 44.6% capital gains tax which includes a 25% tax on unrealized gains. That news should go over well with her big donors but it is a way to claw back some of those insider trading profits all the millionaires in Congress seem to be making on well-timed investments… Niall Ferguson calls the 2024 Presidential race for the Presidency the Barbenheimer Election with Kamala Harris in the role of Barbie and Donald Trump as Oppenheimer. Seems like a apt analogy but a bit too over simplified... Reminder... Cincinnati Red icon Joey Votto announced his retirement yesterday. Now the debate begins on whether he was a Hall of Famer or not. I just know it will be hard to think of the Reds without him… The Obama's have a $20 million home on swanky Martha's Vineyard (one of three homes they own) and Michele is paid $750 k just to give one speech and she lecturers Americans on the wealth gap in the US. Most of the audience she was lecturing would struggle just to pay the taxes on that Martha's Vineyard home... Another reminder... Kamala Harris called 534 children detained at the border by the Trump Administration "outrageous" and a "stain on our national character." Yet the Biden/Harris Administration "lost" close to 300,000 illegal immigrant children. She then turns around and tries to claim she was never even actually the Border Czar... As much as I like Joey Votto I think he falls short of being an all-time great player needed to be inducted into Cooperstown… Out of curiosity was an autopsy done and made publicly available of the cook they found dead at the Obama’s Martha's Vineyard home or was this another case of the Secret Service "security" detail investigating themselves? Like the Secret Service "investigating" who owned that cocaine found at the White House?... Michael Moore in 2016... What did Kamala know about Joe Biden’s dementia and when did she know it? Inquiring minds want to know... CNN tells it like it is ... Donald Trump announced he will rehire all the military personnel let go for not taking the illegal vaccine mandate and give them back pay. Congress will complain “Where do we get the money for that?” Simple - from Biden’s proposed capital gains tax plan…
