  1. Hell of a drug for many social conservatives. The science backs it up: The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8772014/
  2. From 2009 - 2021 the Fed pumped up the equity bubble. Anyone who “followed the Fed” and brrrt during that time had an easy time. Contrarians were crushed over and over again. Those days are over, until the Fed restores the Greenspan Put (which will happen, because the Fed will not allow international capital to to suffer). Same as it ever was, until it’s not.
  3. Nicely done! Hook ‘em!
  4. Relative entry point.
  5. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-17/pension-wealth-funds-dump-100-billion-of-stocks-in-quarter-end-rebalancing?srnd=premium The world’s biggest money managers are set to unload up to $100 billion of stocks in the final few weeks of the year, adding to a selloff that’s snowballed since Jerome Powell’s unequivocal message that policymakers will press on with aggressive tightening at the risk of job cuts and a recession. Notwithstanding their losses this week, equities gained over the quarter, driving up their value relative to other asset classes and forcing managers with strict allocation mandates to sell them to meet targets. Bonds are the likely beneficiaries of sales by sovereign wealth, pension and balanced mutual funds looking to replenish their fixed-income holdings, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. and StoneX Financial Inc.
  6. Down here in the southeast - people are dreaming of a white Christmas.
  7. The New World Order—
  8. Some have a longer time horizon and see value at these levels. I agree with your conclusions. The Fed is using the “laws” of the Phillips Curve as a crude sledgehammer to crush inflation. They see unemployment as the simplest method of achieving demand destruction. Recession does not worry them. The Fed promised pain—and intends to deliver. Services inflation remains sticky. I see another leg down; capitulation isn’t here yet.
  9. The arrest warrant gives his attorneys plenty of space to mount a defense. And If she is recanting (as some have reported), he may see the charges dropped. As for his job, that’s a PR/political/marketing issue. It doesn’t look good for him. The fact he went to her bedroom after she acted as the initial aggressor was a mistake in judgment that may be fatal for his career at Texas.
  10. When Sinema was poor in 2006: After getting paid off:
  11. You should read the BBC article I posted above.
  12. Paul Whelan: The strange case of the ex-marine jailed for spying in Russia https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-53110087
  13. Happy for BG and her family/friends As the son of military officer who did not wear a uniform when working in hostile nations, I can sense some of the pain the Whelan family must feel when these prisoner swaps occur and Whelan is left behind. With clandestine work, the family is part of the team. They know the risk. That doesn’t take away the grief, but it is part of the pride one has in serving a nation. 🇺🇸
  14. Doesn’t look like a surge in Dem voters so far. Warnock needs metro Atlanta to have shown up and be counted. A lot of rain down this way today, which may have dampened turnout. it shouldn’t be this close.
  15. Services wages too hot for the Fed (even if below inflation rate). The Fed is reliant on killing jobs to fight inflation. Employers want resiliency in their workforce and willing to pay for a deep bench.
  16. In fairness to the Mayor of South Bend and the President (and their gaslighting), here is clear messaging on the culprit.
