THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

I think billboards highlighting each chapter of Project 2025 placed in specific locations. For example the chapter on gutting military benefits should have billboards on highways near big military bases. Plans for destroying Social Security have billboards all over in Arizona and Florida.

Wages rose 3.3 percent in 2019, 3.9 over the past year. Job growth slowing. The Fed is supposed to get ahead of the curve. Time to cut.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

So, if a President takes a bribe to shoot someone on 5th avenue in his official capacity, he's immune from prosecution. But, if after murdering someone he decides to lay down and nap on 5th Avenue, he could be arrested?

Coloradans: A reminder that if you are an Xcel energy customer, have an income < 80% of the median for your county (for example, many young teachers will qualify), and have a 2012 or older vehicle to trade in, you can get a used Tesla Model 3 for as low as $11,294.

While it is very, very likely that Rep. Boebert will win CD3 in November, I do think it's worth mentioning that she is currently winning only ~31% of the votes cast in CD3.

In early results in Colorado's GOP primary, the more "moderate" GOP candidates seem to be doing well, with the exception of Boebert winning handily.

As if I need anything else, I just read about Terror Management Theory and I think it describes - and is very applicable - to former President Trump. (And, in contract, not to President Biden).

In August of 2023 I wrote a blog post about using a Fidelity brokerage account to replace your checking/savings account. About a week ago Fidelity improved their Cash Management Account so I've rewritten the post to reflect this. Here is the updated post: fischfinancial.org/2023/08/12/f...

Just finished reading "The Truth About Immigration" by @profzeke.bsky.social

If you care about U.S. immigration issues (and you should) this is a must read. It might contradict some of your priors, but will help you think more factually about what changes need to be made to the system.

Ohioans, today is a good day to check to see if you are still registered to vote in our state. And if you are not, or if you haven't registered yet, today is also a very good day to do so.

The BLS has finally updated its estimates of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices, which excludes owners’ equivalent rent, a price nobody pays that is also a lagging indicator. Dude, where’s my inflation problem?
