It just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Today I assume you saw that the Capitol police had quite a few years ago installed cameras outside of the Pelosi house in SF and one of the I believe eight was on and they were supposed to monitor it 24/7. And it was the one that covered the area of the alleged break in. They said they weren’t watching it constantly since Nancy was in DC. But they noticed it when the cops pulled up and the lights were flashing and then turned on the other seven cameras. Now here’s what’s weird. No police surveillance cameras instantaneously erase the video. It is stored to some media for probably at least a week or maybe a month and then either archived or deleted. So this necessarily means that they have video of the alleged assailant smashing the window with the glass flying back at him — NOT! And they said that they were wired into the security system so that if it was breached both them and SFPD would be notified immediately. That means that at 2am the system was turned off.

Once again we’re watching the gang who couldn’t shoot straight trying to cover up for Paulie P. That video plus the body cam video from the responding officers could clear up a lot but don’t hold your breath because it will be a long time if ever before we see them.

Henceforth pp. I’m too lazy to spend the effort on this degenerate. I saw a concerted effort to try to focus the attention on the alleged assailant today although all the evidence makes clear that this is not some MAGA crazed lunatic. It smells a lot more another Juicy hoax being perpetrated because pp got caught in flagrante delicto. There is just too much that makes absolutely no sense. The supposed fact that the assailant supposedly broke a window, and not the one in the door but one farther away making it harder to reach the lock and yet all the glass is outside not inside. Physics says that’s impossible. Looks like someone tried to create an after the fact scenario and was too stupid to know breaking the window from the inside would create an impossible scenario.

And there’s the fact that there was apparently no security at the house and no video on. The only way that’s possible is if pp turned it off because he didn’t want anyone to see what was going on.

And there’s also the third party mystery of who opened the door for the police. Initially the police said a third party opened the door when they knocked and they even said it in the first press briefing but now they are saying it was pp in his skivivies and Bongino said he’s willing accept the correction which makes him an idiot whose never tried a case and is incapable of connecting the dots. Okay if pp answered the door how did he end up simultaneously on the floor with the assailant? How did the cops let that happen. I could go on and about their bullshit, but you get the gist. There are way too many things that don’t make any sense in this nonsensical attempt to keep pp from once again being held responsible for his actions.

That’s Liam Neeson from Taken. And I debated myself, I said self, over doing this rant but decided do to interactions with one of you to do it because it made me think of why I can comment hopefully intelligently about a wide range of issues. Now first let me say that I know a lot of shit that you do not know, but the opposite is also true for at least the folks I know read my nonsense. You know a lot of things I don’t. And you’re all very intelligent people. Again I’m talking about the people I know that follow me. If AOC or her ilk read me that doesn’t apply to you. You don’t actually know anything an intelligent person would want to know.

Here’s the thing that finally occurred to me. I have three separate degrees and they are all in separate disciplines that are pertinent to much of today’s politics. If you have three degrees and they’re in the same discipline. A bachelors, masters and Ph.D in economics means you know a lot about nothing. Not a surprise to any of you because I think economics is just guessing.

I don’t know if any of you have advanced degrees. I know some of you don’t have bachelors degrees which makes absolutely no difference to me because I know you are smart and I always hung out with the sweathogs. There are a lot of people who have degrees and are completely idiots. Yeah once again I’m talking about you Don Lemon you have a degree in broadcast journalism which means you can read cue cards. We are all in awe. You know exactly zero about whatever bs you’re spouting.

Now to get back to the point of this rant, is because my three different degrees I have a broad range of actual formal education on a lot of pertinent things. With chemical engineering, I had both chemistry both qualitative and quantitative but physical chemistry and the dreaded organic chemistry. It also required calculus and differential equations and computer programming and then physics and quantum physics and then in engineering – statics and dynamics and fluid mechanics and chemical process industries and thermodynamics and engineering measurements including surveying and statistics.

Now moving on to my business degree it encompassed economics, both micro and macro, and finance and accounting and marketing and stocks and bonds and also statistics but it was silly after engineering statistics. And as I mentioned yesterday it covered evaluating the profitability of projects determining present value or future worth.

And then we get to law school where pretty much everything was covered. I won’t bore you with all the subjects but suffice it to say I studied pretty much everything that is relevant to today’s political discussions.

And as demonstrated previously my law career covered a vast expanse of experience and expertise and so I know a lot of shit about a lot of stuff and hopefully it allows me to provide insights to you.

So the point of this rant is not to say I’m smarter, I’m not but I have a very unique set of skills that give me insights that most won’t. I’d be surprised if there were anyone else with the same academic background.

I wasn’t going to put this up because it seemed a little crazy but yesterday I sent a couple of you a link to an article on revolver suggesting that it wasn’t a robbery but Paulie P in a dispute with a male prostitute over payment for services rendered. You can still look it up. It’s like the third or fourth article. However, today Kurt Schlichter who is a responsible journalist asking the same question because there are too many things just don’t add up starting with two men in their drawers wrestling on the floor for a hammer. Enjoy!

Today at lunch at a restaurant I like the waitri were wearing Halloween costumes and one dressed as Cruella de Villa asked me the other three men who sitting at the bar who she was and I said Nancy Pelosi and the other guys cracked up but she didn’t seem happy. Just another example of your curmudgeon winning friends and influencing people.

I didn’t realize it until today but rising interest rates are having an affect I didn’t recognize. I discovered it today when I looked up the powerball payouts for tonight. As I’m sure you know, tonight’s jackpot is one billion dollars, and I hope you have a ticket. But here’s what I noticed, the cash value is $497.3 million. That’s less than 50%. It has generally been in the sixty to sixty five percent range for quite a while because of low interest rates. This actually makes sense when you consider that what the cash option is is the present value of an annuity paid out over a number of years. I don’t want to get into the weeds because you probably don’t care, but I studied it both in Engineering Economics and during my MBA program. Suffice it to say that the higher the interest rates the lower the present value of that income will be.

I’m going to violate my basic rule and rant about something I’m sure that you already know. Pelosi is a complete idiot. Today she said this isn’t about inflation but cost of living. That’s almost a tautology but is definitely an equivalency. If inflation goes up so does the cost of living. They’re inextricably linked. Apparently her one brain cell has finally passed away. I’m sure sure she can’t wait to get to Italy to continue the scam.

Today I had lunch at a nice oceanfront restaurant. I was seated inside at an oceanfront table — I don’t like to sit outside because I hate having to constantly try to keep everything from blowing away. Sitting at an outdoor table probably 8 feet from me was a family, mother and father around 50 and daughter late teens to mid twenties. During the 45 or so minutes we were there, the family with a nice oceanfront table at a nice restaurant didn’t speak to each other at all. They all had their faces buried in their phones texting. A sad commentary on family life.

She’s the dem running for governor in Arizona against Kari Lake, a certifiable political rockstar. I meant to write this a couple weeks ago but as usual was lazy. But today I saw that Mollie Hemingway agreed with me so I will rant. Put Katie Hobbs in YouTube and just listen to her speak. She sounds like a ten year old. And I don’t mean mentally but that’s probably true, but her voice! The first time I heard her I thought how can someone who sounds this immature be taken seriously. Ok Magoo would sniff her but come on.

As with most things I meant to do this earlier but didn’t get around to it. But now I’m going to do it. The left is cheering the sentencing of Bannon but as usual they don’t look ahead. So here’s what they are too dumb to understand. When republicans take back the House and subpoena Pelosi and Schumer and Schitt et al they will have to either comply or go to jail and I don’t think even the corrupt judges in DC can credibly try to differentiate between a claim of executive privilege and some bullshit they make up to try to keep their asses out of jail.
