Green Eagle Gazes at the Insanity

With today's 1500 point loss, the Dow Jones average has now lost 20% of its value since its high just a month ago.  That really doesn't make Donald Trump, who has based much of his claim to be the greatest financial genius in history on the rise in the Dow, look so good, I guess.  This is causing considerable gyration on the part of Trump supporters, who are certainly not going to allow even the thought that the stock market collapse is in any way a result of his incompetence. 

What I am embedding here is a 15 minute video by a stalwart Trump supporter and Qanon believer, offering what I think I can confidently say is an almost unbelievably deranged account explaining how all of this is just part of Trump's plan to make the economy stronger by making it weaker. The creator of this video has spent the last three years or so issuing almost daily releases predicting that Trump's revenge against the deep state and the evil bankers is within days of materializing.  And here he is again, without the sense to chill for a few days, and hope that it all vanishes in a puff of smoke.

I know that these things are not to everyone's taste, but if you are interested in truly preposterous economics, you may find it amusing/appalling.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
