Submitted for your approval, some quick hits on this May Day while waiting for the Federal Reserve interest rate reveal this afternoon and and trying to work up energy to wash some of my cars:
Does anyone else wonder what percentage of the rioting college students taking over college campuses are actually paying their own tuition and aren’t there by virtue of government handouts (from the tax dollars of we who produce and pay taxes)?
Along that line, are these the cretins who, if they do have student loans, will have that indebtedness forgiven at the expense of we taxpayers as a vote buying attempt from Clueless Joe?
Speaking of taxes, I found this telling summation on X, the former Twitter
If you earn it, they tax it.
If you spend it, they tax it.
If you save it, they tax it.
If you invest in it, they tax it.
If you build it, they tax it.
If you sell it, they tax it.
If you live in it, they tax it.
If you drive it, they tax it.
If you eat it, they tax it,
If you give it away, they tax it.
When you die, they tax it.
Then they waste it.
Several times when I called up my AOL email yesterday I was greeted by a huge, obviously retouched photo of The Clueless One and spouse, offering me a chance to enter to win a trip to Rehoboth Beach to visit with them (and have a scavenger hunt for classified documents in their garage?). If first prize is one visit, is second prize two visits and third, three visits? Being forced to visit Joe and Jill multiple times would be just punishment for anyone simple enough to enter and make what I suspect was the obligatory monetary donation
Allow me to confess here to being mercenary and willing to make a few bucks on the stocks of companies and concepts I do not endorse. Example, when META (Facebook) got clobbered last week as Zuckerboy emphasized more AI spending, I bought a few shares in the aftermarket session and sold them the next day for a few bucks more on the obligatory recovery. Understand, META is one of the chosen stocks that cannot be allowed to fail lest it be revealed that the economic emperor has no clothes.
Also, MSOS is an exchange traded fund holding marijuana stocks. I expect Clueless Joe to continue his push to fully legalize marijuana use in a blatant ploy to appeal to the clueless student crowd. Due to this, I have traded MSOS, doubling my small position recently by buying more on a price decline. News broke yesterday regarding the path to legalization and my small position in MSOS bumped up sharply, so I rushed to the computer and sold in the aftermarket.
Three cheers for the college students at the University of North Carolina, who raised an American Flag after protesters had removed it in favor of some ode to Hamas terrorists. Hearing these students raising the Flag against a backdrop of U-S-A chants and singing our National Anthem was a bright moment amidst a sea of gutless neglect from most college administrations. No doubt these patriot students will find themselves in the courts alongside Donald Trump, being charged with hate crimes.
