Love it when it snows


Nothing quiets things down like a nice blanket of snow. The roof is muffled, and the forest too. But I think there may be even more going on. Doesn't snow often here, but every time it sure does seem like the power is cleaner. For sure the listening is better.

Actually he really is not very smooth talking at all, his public speaker demeanor is quite pathetic.
Reminds me very much of, " are you smarter than a 5th grader"
At which Tramp fails miserably and sets a new low bar.

Your post is a candid illustration of my point about the total absence of international news, and the total ignorance of the world scene in the American media...Russia dont need US dollars no more for years...Asia go with them, and the world wait …. Then Pravda can be just rubles washed into rubles...If I can correct … :)
Don't go lumping me in there. I know perfectly well Russia has been diversifying out of dollars and into gold, bypassing the normal global dollar exchange system in favor of direct currency exchange with trading partners. Same goes for China.

Every time we foolishly use our dollar dominance to punish with sanctions we only encourage all the more strongly the move out of the dollar. Foolish, because it undermines confidence in the currency. Which being fiat, confidence is all.

Not that any of this is reported in "the international news" here, any more than the truth about the fake climate crisis or the truth about the billions democrats like the Bidens and Clintons have siphoned out of Ukraine. But the truth is there, you just have to go looking for it.
Which I do. And encourage everyone else to do as well.
There is one thing that work for Trump, except for the teaching help of his father and of his other crooked mentor in the beginning and this is luck... The man has more luck than all the New-York state population...

But even luck has a date of expiration....

If he was a friend of mine by the way of fate,i will advise him not to trouble himself in buying casinos to be rich, I will advise him to buy a ticket... Deal done...



This story is true:

«What that takes to be elected great marshal of the French empire your majesty, ask a beautiful woman to Napoleon...
He smile and said nothing...
The woman said: "I know he must be courageous..."
The emperor was smiling but staying mute...
Another older woman answered :" He must be intelligent your majesty for sure ? "
The emperor was laughing...
A teen lady walk in, saying candidly " He must be good with the arms and strong on horses"
The emperor was too much laughing to answer immediately...But at the end says that: " My dear ladies what use would be a strong, courageous, intelligent, able with arms Marshall if he is not lucky? He can die the first day of battle."
And all were laughing with the Emperor...
