Mid-terms are going to be a bloodbath for Dems.
The mid-terms are fucked. Trump will be in jail and the demorats will still have majorities in both houses. That’s assuming they still go ahead and haven’t been called off because joe has conjured up a sufficient crisis to call them off.

The president has no say in calling elections on or off. That remains with the states and they’re not going to call off elections. Even say, if the blue states did call them off, it would mean the Red states would not and those elected would be the only folks allowed to sit in the house and senate. Not even a military emergency can stall elections. They’ll just cheat for the senate seats.
If R is + in the generic polls, that doesn’t bode well for D.
Yes they do. GOP wins even when the generic is slightly up for the demons. +7 for the GOP in the generic is actually fucking enormous. It doesn’t mean they won’t cheat in the senate. For instance Doc Oz will lose in Philly as the cheating for the brain dead moron will be huge.

“The Australian netball team is reportedly rebelling against the sponsorship of Gina Rinehart by refusing to wear new uniforms which include the Hancock Prospecting logo.
Hancock’s c. $15m sponsorship, announced this year, rescued Netball Australia from a $7m black hole incurred during the covid lockdowns.
A former team captain who called Hancock a “climate denier” has led the campaign via Zoom calls to current team members.”
I think Gina Rinehart should state, firmly and politely, that if she’s going to be smeared this way, then she can be and will be a “cash denier”. Rinehart needs to pull the dosh….pronto. Netball Australia has been struggling for a while now and without Gina’s dosh, Netball Australia will crumble. We’ve seen this happen with RA.

Tablet – How to Lose Friends and Influence Over People
A decade of Obama-Biden foreign policy has broken the Middle East and America’s security order
BY MOHAMMED KHALID ALYAHYA
Americans have a reputation, with others and in their own national literature, for being careless and breaking things. Often this is because they are so admirably creative, dynamic, and unattached to the past. But for the last two decades, the epicenter of American carelessness has been the Middle East, an area of the world that seems to encourage fantasies among all Westerners, yet where real-world margins for error are small. The result has been a series of disasters for the peoples of the region and for American prestige. This week brought what looks like another unforced error in policymaking, fed by hubris, fantasy, airy talk, and a refusal to acknowledge reality.
On Tuesday, White House national security spokesman John Kirby announced that President Joe Biden will be reevaluating America’s relationship with Saudi Arabia after OPEC+ announced the previous week that it would cut oil production. Kirby’s announcement followed a statement by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., claiming that Saudi Arabia is helping to “underwrite Putin’s war” through OPEC+. “As Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,” Menendez said, “I will not green-light any cooperation with Riyadh until the Kingdom reassesses its position with respect to the war in Ukraine.”
As a Saudi who loves the United States, and believes deeply that our two countries need each other, the only word that comes to mind regarding the contemporary “reevaluation” of our relations is: obscene.
It was the Obama administration that decided to give Vladimir Putin a foothold in the eastern Mediterranean, which it sold to the American people as a way to “deescalate” the civil war in Syria. As the United States romanced Putin, offering him Crimea and warm water ports in Syria in exchange for pulling Iran’s irons out of the fire over the past decade, U.S. allies like Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, and Israel have had no choice but to cope. Last month, while Russian-operated Iranian drones and missiles were pounding Kyiv, Riyadh used its diplomatic leverage to obtain the release of American and British POWs from Putin.
America saddled us with the reality of a neighboring country controlled by Iranian troops and the Russian air force. Worse, as part of its Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Obama administration sent tens of billions of dollars flowing into Iranian coffers—money that was used to demolish Iraq, crush Syria, create chaos in Lebanon, and threaten Saudi territory from Yemen. Iranian rocket and drone strikes on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia are now routine. In response to the barrage of missiles on Saudi infrastructure last year, the Biden administration withdrew U.S. missile defense batteries from Saudi territory.
Yet even as countries that had survived two decades of American experiments in our backyards came together to achieve extraordinary degrees of political and economic normalization, it was never at America’s expense.
American allies in the region are witnessing the unraveling of a post-Soviet world order that they helped America build. As the White House doubles down on regional and global policies that are hastening that unraveling, stakeholders the world over are rightly reassessing their own security interests as America’s partners.

Biden Flunks Another Inflation Exam
I & I Editorial Board
October 14, 2022
You know things are bad when even the mainstream press is admitting that the latest inflation numbers “soared far above expectations last month” and that this is “wiping out pay gains.” But, according to President Joe Biden, Thursday’s report on inflation “shows some progress in the fight against higher prices.”
What progress? Inflation was up 8.2% in September, compared with the year before. And that’s on top of last September’s 6.2% increase.
Here’s another way to look at it.
In the 21 months since Biden took office, the Consumer Price Index has shot up 13.5%. That compares with 4% in the first 21 months of the Trump administration. (See the chart below.)
The so-called “core inflation” number – which subtracts more volatile food and energy categories – shot up 6.6% on an annual basis this September, the biggest such jump in four decades.
As the Associated Press put it, the core inflation number was “far above expectations” and “a sign that the Fed’s five rate hikes this year have so far done little to cool inflation pressures.”
In other words, we are in for a world of hurt as prices keep climbing while the Fed’s continued rate hikes slash home prices, shrink retirement accounts, and kill jobs.
The Heritage Foundation’s EJ Antoni calculates that inflation and the resulting interest rate hikes are already costing the average worker $4,200 a year. As we noted in this space earlier, Biden’s economic disaster has stolen more money than families received from all the COVID relief checks combined.
What has Biden been doing this whole time? A review of the record shows that he has either:
Denied inflation was a problem
Promised it would soon be over
Claimed his policies were working to bring it down
Blamed COVID, Putin, greedy gas station owners.
The chart below is a timeline of what Biden was saying as inflation steadily marched upward.

I’ll tell you to stop posting your bs. This is what I said;
“Hardly an indication of a healthy business CLIMATE.”
So stop your misrepresentation of my comments.
Besides JPM being down 35% and the SPX down 25% , here’s another indicator as well as PMI;
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/T10Y2Y
As a recession predictor it’s not too shabby. And it looks like the market (and former JPM shareholders) agree with my assessment.?
By the way, it’s likely the US isn’t in a recession just yet. It’s just that markets are pricing one in. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Or Malaysia.

Such a shame Kwasi got canned. I suppose he’ll just have to go back to being one of the Octonauts.
It’s amateurish in the sense like a kid finds a new toy and thinks it’s something out of this world. It’s not a good indicator, but keep using it. It certainly didn’t help you when at the beginning of the year when you were telling us 2022 was going to be pretty decent.
No, it hasn’t. That theory has been blown out of the water for the past 30 years.
Interesting observation , makka. Recall in the old days, you wanted to kill all the economist because you thought economics – particularly macro was crap.
Now it’s all yield curve inversion and labor economics…
What happened, didn’t the charts work out so well. 🙂
If you’re right, I’m wrong, in part at least. My impression was that the show cause process was not complete at the time Reynolds knew about the allegations. Was this the case?
Huh?
Once she knew, she should have told him, even if this was after she rejected his response. I made this point above.
Why?
Supposedly, he was sacked for accessing the Parliamentary Suite without ID at 1.20 am on the Saturday morning.
Of course, nobody really believes that, because:
1. Brucie was Reynolds Star Staffer, bequeathed by the London bound Brandis with instructions to handle with care.
2. He’d done it before without issues arising.
Questions:
What were the exact circumstances of Brucies previous security breach?
Was he accompanied by a young lady on that occasion?
Thanks ZK2A @ 5.35pm for posting the Mundine piece.
Couldn’t for the life of me understand what Craven was on about in his piece. Mundine corrects it.
Sanchez at 3.50
It appears that you agree that Reynolds did know about the allegation when she sacked Lehrmann. Yes, this could not be a relevant matter in relation to her decision, which I suppose is justifiable on the basis of a second security breach. An allegation that a fact exists is no or weak evidence that those facts exist.
But Reynolds could have noted the allegation and made it clear that she took no account of it. A lawyer might well have advised her do so in order to avoid a challenge to the decision. That is, to preclude a challenge once BL learnt what happened and alleged that there was an undisclosed improper purpose. (He might do so if he is acquitted. He might succeed.)
Anyway, my point is that a sense of decent behaviour to a colleague, whose security breaches did not involve any disloyalty or inadvertent aid to the Opposition, and of procedural fairness to BL, should have caused her to inform BL. If he had been made aware, he could have engaged lawyers to deal with the police, and thus have caused the police to move more decisively. (Eg, the dress might not have been washed, or she might have been told firmly to get a medical exam.)
I suspect that BL was not told because of concern that he would make a public fuss. From that viewpoint, (which I don’t support) ‘just as well’, because he might have responded to Higgins’ moves and made life for the Liberals more difficult. And/or politics dictated that back Higgins, and tell BL nothing.
Lehrmann was treated badly, and Reynolds is responsible.

In combination with other indicators, as I have already said, it forms part of a deadly package. Born out by the market now in the process of pricing a recession in. Which includes JPM.
I’m nett short in stocks since mid April but not heavily. Still am but getting nervous with this weeks behavior so I may go flat Monday. US banks are shaping up for a great long term value buy in coming months..

Walter Kirn made a tongue in cheek comment today when he was speaking with Taibbi.
He said Kanye needs to find out where Louis Farrakhan banks because it tolerates anti-Semetism.
Lehrmann was treated badly, and Reynolds is responsible.
This is nuts.
Reynolds had further friendly meeting with Brucie during his career asa lobbyist.
Here’s a more likely scenario:
We know [from evidence this week] that an order was given for an out of hours steam cleaning of Reynolds office on saturday March 23 2019 with particular attention to be given to the search for condoms.
Do you seriously believe that Reynolds didn’t know those details by Tuesday March 26 when she sacked The Brucester?
So, here’s what Reynolds did, probably on orders from Scotty’s Office:
She sacked Brucie over the security breach, which is a nothingburger and then tried to bluff Higgins outta her job.
The obvious intent was that once Higgins had accepted the Sack, she could bring Brucie back [after a little while] and if Higgins then went public, why, it was sour grapes and could be laughed off.
Higgins is made of sterner stuff than that, the plan failed and eventually, Reynolds career crashed too.
Well yes, but you only linked to St Louis Fed , hence my comment.
I think the Aussie dollar is actually a decent indicator – at least for global liquidity.
The banks have been killed this year, because investors aren’t going to hold the very stocks that essentially ended up at zero in the financial crisis. I think at least there’s a bit of that.
That’s good, I’m happy for you.
I’m really freaking down about the US at the moment. The demonrats have completely rooted the place, and if they are cheating, there maybe no way to get the scumbags out without a civil war. The banking business appears to have held in well.

As for what that adds up to in toto, your guess is as good as mine. Can’t rely on polls.

That’s harsh. Economists are people too.
That economist was only repeating what the Fed has already stated- they want UE up. What remains to be seen is how much jobs are crushed. The Fed isn’t great at working that out.
I watch the Fed and reactions to Fed speak , but mainly to see the reactions in chart action. Works for me.
Zero evidence says otherwise.
However, it is indeed over. Various bottom feeding imbeciles just haven’t realised it yet.
I’m shocked and surprised, aren’t you?

“Edward and his brother Richard, Duke of York, are thought to have been killed in the Tower of London and buried in Westminster Abbey, with tradition dictating that Richard III was to blame.”
Whilst there are theories that it was perhaps Margaret Beaufort (mother of Henry VII) who organised the murders, I still think the evidence leads to Richard ordering the murders of the boys. He had a very strong motive, the crown.

We agree on pretty much all above. But you seem to be a lot darker about the US than I am. That’s a bit of a concern.
I’m somewhat surprised that you mention this downturn could possibly be compared with ’08. I just can’t see it- absent a nuke. Systemically all we have is a Fed flexing it’s muscles which will cause some serious damage, but not to the financial system as in the lead up to and then ’08.
Yes, concentration will be key I agree. Unlike before , not all boats are going to rise in a rising or higher interest rate world.

Oh no, it wasn’t my intention. I was suggesting that the reason for the big move down in bank stocks this year is because investors are panicked as they think back to the GFC stuff when the banks were on their knees. Investors may think a recession could bring a repeat for the banks. I disagree though as it doesn’t have to mean that at all as banks in the US appear to be in good shape.
That’s a huge concern.
Yes true.
The thing that really worries me, Europe for the next two year and of course China. If these two head into recession. we certainly aren’t going to avoid really bad pain and I’d say neither would the US, although the US will be better off.

I don’t believe that Donald Trump would have allowed the stealing of his administration from the deep state cabal that he swore to drain.
He knew they spied on his campaign and administration (treason)
He knew of election fraud in the 2018 midterms
He captured all the cheating in 2020 and foreign interference

It was only a couple of weeks ago that I passed Micklegate Bar, where Richard of York’s head was displayed wearing a paper crown after the battle of Wakefield.
He was Edward and Richard’s father. Both boys were whisked off to the continent after the battle. Both would, after the defeat of Henry VI, be kings.
These guys were utterly ruthless.
This is why I’m not touching anything in Europe or BHP/RIO. Yet.
China is is deep financial trouble. They can’t suffer such a horrendous RE collapse and not see their financial system in huge strife. I just don’t reckon China’s woes have been fully priced into our resources yet. Not by a long shot. And that means because our banks make up the other 50% of the ASX, we could be seriously fkd in a rising rate environment. It will be a grind lower.

Thanks calli, I shall read Penman’s book. I’m a bit of a Tudor buff myself and yes, whilst I acknowledge Shakespeare did pander to Tudor insecurities and sensibilities in his depictions of Richard, particularly his physical depictions, I do think Richard was a villain due to the very high likelihood that he ordered the murder his two young nephews so as to usurp the crown. David Starkey, who is the preeminent Tudor historian, says that all evidence leads to Richard.
It’s a fascinating story and the haunting tragedy of the two young princes, young boys Richard was supposed to care for, doesn’t abate with time.
These guys were utterly ruthless.”
Yep.
I Want To Believe
I read 30% of their economy is RE. Some westerners believe their population actually peaked 10 years ago and they were 100 million too high because of internal dishonesty (provincial and local government lying about their pop size to score Beijing funding). So the switch from older vs younger is happening much sooner and pop growth has already begun to fall. As you say, our resources sector could be absolutely clocked not to mention the A$.
Richard had a son, another Edward. His desire to have his own son on the throne would have been strong.
He had the example of his own father in law, Warwick (Richard Neville) to follow. Kings could be made. They weren’t necessarily born to rule.
Unfortunately Richard had lost both his son and his wife by the battle of Bosworth. He had nothing left but to fight and hope he could marry and produce another heir.
And the rest is history.
We visited there, just after the election when John Howard defeated Mark Latham for Prime Minister.

Meanwhile over at Conservative Woman there is an article about one of the most prominent Vax pushers in NZ, a Govt expert adviser, now saying she will not take the booster.
Anything over 50% is a win.
While I loath Biden, my heart bleeds for China’s chip businesses.
A really lovely brief tribute to Angela Lansbury by the New York Times, mainly in interview.

If you make a mistake it’s OK as the CCP will tell you from Beijing, since all the instruments report to them.

Deputy Dogcatcher for Swampville, Tennessee?
“Catesby”
A Catesby was involved in the Gunpowder plot.
The mother of Kit Harrington, better known as “Jon Snow”, is a Catesby, a descendent of this same family and Harrington’s wife, Rose Leslie, is a descendant of another gunpowder plotter.
I do love history.
Just like Socialism then.
Indeed.

“Surplus”? What’s that?
Russia’s Economy Ravaged by War as Budget Surplus Completely Wiped Out
Heh, the West has run deficits for decades. I see no problem here heh ?
The West is Broke which is why they are pushing for War to distract the People. Strategy 101 when you are broke………………………..

We had a conspirational lunch at the Guy Fawkes Inn at York, by the Minster. It was the birthplace of Guido Fawkes.
Much plotting done over a pint of lager and a G&T. 😀
Also went by Middleham Castle in the Dales, where Richard III lived and where his son died.
You lot talking about horse racing while the world goes to hell in Schwab’s handbasket!

You know nothing, Jon Snow.
The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, an Irish man answered his door to find a grim-faced constable waiting in the front yard.
“We’re sorry, Mr. O’ Flynn, but we have some information about your dear wife, Maureen” said the officer. “Tell me! Did you find her?” Michael Patrick O’Flynn asked.
The constable said “I have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which would you like to hear first?” Fearing the worst, Mr. O’ Flynn said “Give me the bad news first”.
The constable said “I’m sorry to tell you, sir, but early this morning we found your poor wife’s body in the bay”. “Lord sufferin’ Jesus and Holy Mother of God!” exclaimed O’ Flynn.
Swallowing hard, he asked “What could possibly be the good news?” The constable continued “When we pulled the late, departed poor Maureen up, she had 12 of the best-looking Atlantic lobsters that you have ever seen clinging to her. Haven’t seen lobsters like that since the 1960’s, and we feel you are entitled to a share in the catch”.
Stunned, Mr. O’ Flynn demanded “Glory be to God, if that’s the good news, then what’s the really great news?” The constable replied “We’re gonna pull her up again tomorrow”.
Ygritte and Jon Snow was one of the great love stories of all time.

The US midterms will be a double bloodbath. The Democrats will get slaughtered among males. The Republicans will get Bobbitted by females.
As for what that adds up to in toto, your guess is as good as mine. Can’t rely on polls.
When do you start recruit training?
You have enlisted for the Great War Against Wussian Imperialism, haven’t you? You’re not a chickenhawk, surely?

Senator Alex Antic
In April this year the Commonwealth Department of Health objected to my assertion that the C@VID injections didn’t prevent transmission.
Yesterday in the EU Parliament a senior Pfizer director admitted that their injections were never actually tested on preventing transmission.
Mandates were never about science. They were always about coercion.
The wheels are falling off their narrative day by day.
Poor Rabz! Sorry it didn’t work out.
Here’s something about loss and gain and struggle. In marvellous 7/4 time.

Watched a show about Bill Cosby just now.
He got out of jail on appeal based on an all-encompassing verbal “non prosecution agreement” (NPA) struck years ago when he gave a deposition in a civil case involving one of the first complainants.
Now, prosecutors usually only give NPAs if there is some quid pro quo (e.g. catching a king-pin crook).
So what was the advantage for a DA or an AG in giving a wide-ranging indemnity in a civil case which might involve a multi-millionaire paying a few hundred thousand and getting a Non Disclosure Agreement?
It didn’t make sense.
Then I got to thinking about Jeffrey Epstein in Florida in 2008. He did a deal, this time in a criminal case, to take a fairly light penalty for an early plea. But then Alex Acosta throws in this monster sweetener of an all-time, all jurisdictions NPA for any crime not only for him but for anyone associated with him.
Totally disproportionate to the plea being offered up.
Both scream corruption.
How many other big names, when faced with a minor civil prosecution have paid out a few hundred thousand in damages, got a signed non-disclosure, and an open ticket NPA absolving them of everything they have ever done?
Go and have a look at Ace of Spades on this issue, he certainly doesn’t mince words… LOL.
Tucker was also very good tonight. This gender shit in schools is the lowest. The lefties promulgating it deserve the death sentence. In 10 years time when scores of young kids are coming for revenge it will be too late then.

An odd coincidence that you should say this, Sancho, as I was going to say something like it about an hour ago and then set it aside as pointless complaining.
Yes, I too was somewhat dismayed that B vs B in a case without evidence has somehow been the #1 talk of the Cattery for the last week while 1) the great powers hiss about nuclear world war, 2) domestic government overreach in social and financial dimensions at State and Federal levels remains unaddressed, and just generally other strange things are afoot at the Circle-Klaus.
But no, one mention of panties and it’s all the Cats can think about. I got sucked into it too, but we are all flawed creations of His Noodley Appendage.

A great movie, combining actual footage with hollywoodland.
Just watched the last hour of Midway. I rate it an OK. The actual footage was from much later in the war as several of the aircraft types hadn’t been put into service by mid 1942. The continuity guys didn’t do a great job on the actual footage either.
Thanks, calli, it will be as it always has been, long dinners and lunches drowning in each others eyes.
But we will never be together …
Uh oh. I’ve just been Hiryu-ed.
My movie recommendations end here. 😀
Every American executive and engineer working in China’s semiconductor manufacturing industry resigned yesterday, paralyzing Chinese manufacturing overnight.
Geebus. If this is correct it won’t do anything for the chip shortage. Also, unless the poor bastards got out of the country they are likely to find themselves working in a Chinese version of the Gulag.
Sorry, calli. Just the way it is. A Bridge too Far on now.

Michael Caine looks spiffing in a cravat.
It’s always rather sobering to contemplate U.S. losses in the opening stages of that battle – over twenty U.S. aircraft shot down, and not a single torpedo hit.
Cosby is dead. Secret military operation.
This is a marker.
Good “warrie”, historical ballocks.
Quite. That bright green cravat looked very suss.

You’re talking about a chick, right?
Anybody seen the more recent remake of Midway?
Eddles – unlike yourself, I’m not a “flamer”*.
*Or a spook, if that’s any consolation
I’m watching it now – better then the 1976 version.
Eddles – Why you trying to get crazy with me, Squire?
Don’t you know I’m “Loco” … 😕

Prima facie it is just a titillating tale of drunken shenanigans.
But there is something more at stake here. Are we moving to a point where the evidence-free social cancel culture movement takes over our courts?
I recognise that windmill! It has a cheese shop beside it and a clog factory down the road!
Beautiful. Thank you.

Likewise . . . it’s what I studied at uni 40+ years ago – mainly English history from Henry II to the Stuarts.
Also Kit Harrington starred and produced the mini-series Gunpowder about the 1605 plot. Very good historical drama.

But there is something more at stake here. Are we moving to a point where the evidence-free social cancel culture movement takes over our courts?
I’m sure Cardinal Pell can attest to this.
And further, I happen to think that the case being heard in the Canberra Courts is important to our society, and is worth talking about because it is a damning indictment of just how the presumption of innocence has been trashed in this country and how the #Metoo movement has distorted truth.
