Northwest Passage


The most likely route would be the most southern route, in my opinion.  According to this map, it would traverse areas that Canada claims as territorial waters.  If it requires Canadian approval, then it may never be developed.

Even if this could be avoided, environmentalists would oppose it.

Nevertheless, a passage through this area could make Greenland more significant.  Note that Greenland is south of the Arctic Circle in the southern regions.  It may also be true of much of the southernmost route in Canada.

Belaboring the obvious

Much has been made of the market's drop yesterday.

A little perspective here:

Look at this chart.  Even with the drop yesterday, the market is still above the close on August 14.  Yes, it bears watching.  No, it is not time to push the panic button.

The POTUS' moves regarding China are minor moves.  His tweets seem to be more significant, but the market's reaction is overblown.  Of course, the politics of it is off the charts.

One more thing...  Usually when there is recession talk, the Fed is already easingWhy not now?

Cover-up

Comment:

The FBI refuses to comply with a court order to release documents.  It certainly looks like the FBI has something to hide.

That's only my opinion, of course.  But stuff like that, and then you have this story...



Money talks

Comment:

You can believe that there is a sea-change going on out there when the money-grubbers start taking a beating.



Party that claims to be fighting for democracy reveals their hypocrisy

Comment:

Gabbard is being forced out for making Kamala Harris look bad.   Gabbard is ahead of those not forced out yet.

In other words, some rich folks who bankrolled Harris want to punish Gabbard despite Gabbard's rise in the polls.

It's not about democracy, which is how they represent themselves.  Watch what they do, not what they say.

Gabbard seems to be as unprincipled as the rest of this corrupt organization.  The point is that it doesn't matter who wins the nomination.  They are all bad.

Once upon a time...

... I did these videos. 

Why bother with them now?  Just to experiment a bit.  I've learned a couple tricks with video editing software, so I thought I would enhance the old videos and see how they play now.

An asteroid "could" strike too

Comment:

But the odds are against an asteroid strike.   What could really rock DC is if anybody actually held them accountable for their misdeeds.

Note the use of the word "could" in the tweet.  DC is so corrupt that even the truth wouldn't rock these people.

They have to go.  If not now, when?
