Living in a country undergoing significant political, financial, and cultural upheaval can offer a peculiar sense of entertainment. With each passing day, we witness a surge of chaos that seems both staggering and absurd. To navigate this turmoil without losing hope, we must find humor in the situation.
Among the current players in this unfolding drama, one might wonder if even Shakespeare could have crafted a more impeccable cast of misfits. Characters abound in an absurd political comedy that steers perilously close to tragedy.
The list includes President Trump, Hillary Clinton, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Robert Mueller, the Podesta Brothers, and many others. Not to be overlooked are past political giants like Barney Frank and Obama.
The relentless ambition of this political class is striking, as they scramble over one another to cling to fleeting power. Their methods frequently involve deception—broken promises, fabrications, coercive tactics; it’s all standard fare in Washington. They’ll mislead the public and make questionable decisions to satisfy their desires. Continue reading
Let’s start with unembellished truths: it’s essential to distinguish facts from opinions.
Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit under standard atmospheric conditions. It is impossible to square the circle using just a compass and straightedge. The sun is indeed a star.
While facts stand unyielding, opinions are shaped by individual perspectives. For instance, one might say that Barack Obama has a weak throwing arm, or that chocolate cake is best enjoyed in moderation. Whether these assertions are right or wrong is subjective.
Opinions, much like belly buttons, are ubiquitous. Unlike government-supplied “free” offerings, everyone is entitled to their own views.
Beyond the realm of facts and opinions lies the utterly nonsensical. This includes the absurdity often presented by academics outside the realm of physical sciences. Similarly, it extends to certain journalists, circus performers, and other unlikely sources of wisdom. Continue reading
A late-stage bull market brings an exhilarating sense of possibility, transforming the unimaginable into reality. Rising stock prices challenge the conventions of normalcy, pushing boundaries into the extraordinary.
Recently, a farmer near Avocado Lake in Fresno County, California, made headlines with a report of a family of Bigfoot. According to the farmer, several of these legendary creatures were spotted sprinting across his land in the dead of night. Paranormal enthusiast Jeffery Gonzalez recounted one particularly striking sighting:
“One of them, remarkably tall, was carrying a pig over its shoulder. As it ran, it tripped over an irrigation pipe, sending the pig flying through the air.”
What does it all signify?
The frequency of such Bigfoot sightings may indicate an optimistic outlook. Just as they benefit the stock market, alarming news from North Korea about potential nuclear conflict could signal similarly bullish trends. Continue reading
The Dow Jones Industrial Average’s relentless rise toward 30,000 seems unstoppable. New record highs are frequently achieved, and despite a minor dip of 31 points yesterday, the index has soared over 15.5 percent this year. It’s indeed a thrilling time.
President Trump is enthusiastic about this upward trend, feeling empowered in his role as Commander in Chief. He believes he has the ability to elevate the stock market—his confidence is palpable. Just the other day, he tweeted:
“The stock market has increased by 5.2 trillion dollars since the election on November 8th, achieving a 25% rise.”
Shortly thereafter, he sent another tweet:
“If Congress approves the large tax cuts and reforms I’m advocating for, those numbers will climb even higher.”
Perhaps President Trump is correct in his assertions. Continue reading
