Iran and Israel trade blows....again!

 

Israel and Iran traded blows again.  Instead of ballistic missiles, the Israelis sent planes with stand off missiles.

The results are again mixed and it seem like the Iranian and Israeli strikes seem to entail a lot of effort for little gain.

The international community can call for cease-fires all day, but this is the Middle East.  There are more strikes to follow.  If not today, it will be tomorrow. Or next week.  Or a month from now, but some sor of retaliation for this retaliation is coming.

If Iran develops a nuclear weapon, the Israelis will hit back with the ones they claim not to have.

There really is little anyone can do other than let the combatants fight it out.  

How it looks in the end is anyone's guess.  I do know one thing.  

There will be more fighting.  Why?

It's the Middle East.

EU vs Hungary, and some others...

 

Hungary and the European Union seem to be on a collision course.

 Hungary refuses to abide by EU "rules" on letting in illegal immigrants.

Listen to that again: Hungary refused to let in illegal immigrants.

Hungary regards them as a security threat the the EU is fining Hungary one million euros a day until they led in illegal immigrants.  Hungary, meanwhile, is sending migrants in a bus to Brussels.  Brussels is not happy.

Meanwhile the Netherlands is asking to opt out of EU immigration rules.  And powerhouse Germany has reinstated border controls.  The EU openborder policy seems to be failing as well.

You have heard me say it before.  The EU should have remained the Common Market.  The "European superstate" thing is not going to work.  Now it tries to exercise dictatorial  powers against its own members since they won't agree to work against their own interests.

The number of terrorist attacks in Europe due to "migrants" should be a warning to every member of the European Union and the EU itself.

Watch from European nations to follow Britain's 2016 example. 

Hopefully, they do it right!

Anniversary!

 

Never Forget!

 

Doesn't understand economics...or anything else

 

Price controls?

Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of economics or history knows price controls don't work.

In order to get control of inflation that the Biden-Harris administration has caused printing money to cover runaway government spending, the Cackler said she wanted to impose price controls on groceries.  

Aside from the fact it is unAmerican, it won't work.

I guess this proposal appeals to her desire to control everything and it stems from the fact she has never had a real job.  Or has an understanding of economics.  Or anything any thing else. 

I decide how much to charge for something.  Not the government.  The LAST thing anyone wants to do is raise prices.  Sometimes, you have to in order to cover expenses.  Kamala does not understand this.

Is corporate greed behind price-gauging.  Certainly, but markets and customers have a tendency to handle that. Not perfect, but if you lead free enterprise capitalism alone, it can take care of itself.

Price controls lead to shortages as companies cannot cover expenses by raising (or lowering) prices.  Tell the government to cut expenses and not print money and amazing how things solve themselves!

Diocletian tried to impose price controls and everyone ran out of everything,  In recent history, Presidents Truman and Nixon did the same with the prices of meat and soon meat vanished off the shelves as producers did not bother to produce since they could not make a profit.

The Soviet Union had price controls and a centrally planned economy. 

How did that work out?

If Kamala was any dumber, she might be stupid.

Sometimes I wonder if our entire society is too stupid to survive.

If so, it was fun while it lasted!

Let The Games Begin!

 

The Democratic National Convention has begun in Chicago and protestors/rioters have all ready broken through the fences and are fighting with the Chicago PD. 

The deposed Grand Pooba Biden will give the opening speech and leave sullenly for DC or Delaware.  Cackling Goofall Kamala Harris might say something and everyone will wish that she would shut up.

Fourteen million Democratic primary voters will have their ballots thrown out and the "Defenders of Democracy" will pick their own candidate. 

If you are stupid enough to vote for Kamala Harris, you deserve what you get.

In the meantime, enjoy the riots and take bets about how many shops get looted and how long it takes the Cook County DA to let "arrested" rioters go.

Idiot Of The Year

 

Wide spread riots broke out over Britain after an alleged immigrant (turns out to be a native-born son of Rwandan immigrants) allegedly stabbed three little girls to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event.

Riots are not the way to go, but it seems the frustration with the British government's incompetency in handing immigration boiled over and off they went!

Prime Minister Starmer was shouting about "right wing thuggery" instead of trying to calm the situation and became upset when it was pointed out that the places the riots were occuring were places that had voted for his Labour Party.  Meanwhile, Muslim demonstrators threatening people were marching through Birmingham, England the the police were no where to be seen!

It's called "two tier policing" and there is not justification for it.  Equal before the law or just chuck in it out the window.

Then, the idiocy/fascism continued when UK Police Commissioner Mark Rowley announced that social media posts supporting protest or deemed insulting to immigrants (many illegal) would be punished.  Then this Gestapo wannabe said even US posts were subject to this (unratified) law and they would "be coming after you."

Did you not try that in 1776?

Rowley needs to shut up and stop sounding like an idiot.  You need to remember your job and calm the situation, not attempt and fail to stifle freedom of speech.

The British Empire is dead, Rowely, and it is not coming back.

Meanwhile, you are welcome for the First World War, Second World War, and the Cold War.  

As we say on this sided of the Pond, stay in your own lane.
