  1. https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/hurricane-season-below-normal Didn’t Al Gore say hurricanes were to be more frequent? BTW, NPR breathlessly reported that this is the seventh year in a row that NOAA has predicted an above average hurricane season. Since they can’t report on the reality, they report on the guesses.
  2. Histrionics aside, global temperatures didn’t even crack the top five even though CO2 levels were the highest in modern history. The only thing getting hotter is the rhetoric.
  3. Ask Bill, according to him, having a gay actor or a positive portrayal of women or minorities constitutes ‘woke’
  4. Wrong Wonder Woman https://boundingintocomics.com/2021/02/04/wonder-woman-1984-flops-despite-warnermedias-positive-spin/ “Wonder Woman 1984 reportedly cost $200 million to make, and sadly, it doesn’t look anywhere close to making that back or breaking even.”
  5. The current administration wants lower gas prices for political reasons, but they don’t want domestic production, refinement or transportation for political reasons. That is why Biden is going overseas to beg for oil and emptying the Stratigraphic Reserve. The WH spokeswoman said as much when she acknowledged although we want more oil now, in five years we won’t, as we will be transitioning from fossil fuels. Why would anyone invest in drilling and refining capacity if they were guaranteed a negative ROI from the White House.
  6. Agreed, my capacity for being wrong is limited and demonstrably below average.
  7. All one needs to grasp is ‘less than’ and ‘greater than’ and not be blinded by ideology. QED
  8. Not my assessment https://www.imdb.com/list/ls507889455/
  9. Because the supply side of the equation is constrained the market is adjusting to the demand side.
  10. Lightyear, Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Birds of Prey, Charlie’s Angels, Batwoman, All Rise, Ghostbusters (girl version) all big stinkers. Batgirl was so bad it didn’t even go straight to video. I won’t even mention the Jonathan Kent (gay son of Superman) comic book. Get Woke go broke
  11. If the contraction continues and it may very well with the Fed doubling interest rates, NBER will likely conclude the recession began in the first quarter of 2022.
  12. I guess we will just have to wait for NBER to make the call. So far they have been aligned with my assessment. Unlike poor Kallend who still thought we were still in a recession until Biden was inaugurated.
  13. Let’s take a real world AND real time example. Demand for gasoline is starting to slacken. Do oil companies.. A. Reduce supply and keep their margins and profits up B. Drop their prices in order to increase/maintain demand and keep profits up If you chose B you are a winner. If you choose A you are a LOSER
  14. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11078313/Holy-Wokery-Batgirl-TOM-LEONARD-investigates-Warner-Bros-90million-superhero-film-axed.html “Batgirl was only the latest in a long and disastrous line of Hollywood films that have prioritised politically correct values over entertainment. As Robin might say, Holy Woke, Batman!” Get woke, go broke. To the tune of $90 million.

  16. Food fences make good neighbors
  17. I don’t know, don’t watch FOX. From what I understand Carlson is a Right Wing bomb thrower so he would consider Pelosi wrong no matter what, I believe he might have been against our support of Ukraine and I strongly disagree with that. That said, there is still no explanation of the Biden administration’s policy to continue to build the Trump wall.
