1) Ever have one of those #IA "ewwww . . . " moments? @AP article on climate change sez that so-called 100th meridian line (hisoric line marking shift from the green West to brown West) has been moving east at about 3.6 miles per year. On edge of NW Iowa now. #IApolitics#IaGov
Did you notice that there was not a @DoonesburyComic in your Sunday Paper (basically any @Gannett paper, including the @DMRegister) here it is! See the thread for all six panels! (1)
@Doonesbury Sunday Comix (2) of 6 panels.
@doonesbury @Doonesbury Sunday Cartoon (3) of six panels.
(1)Waddayado when a judge breaks law with a purposeful stall? Whine about it? Judge Cannon is clearly showing favoritism in MarALago case. Is there no recourse? Ex-US Attorney: Cannon has ‘no intention’ of letting Trump go to trial. #IaCaucus #IAPolitics share.newsbreak.com/5whf5wzw
(2) Federal Judicial Ethics law: A. A judge should be faithful to, and maintain professional competence in, the law and should not be swayed by partisan interests, public clamor, or fear of criticism.
(3) More: B. A judge should hear and decide matters assigned, unless disqualified, and should maintain order and decorum in all judicial proceedings.
Why do I agree w/ #CharlieMunger? Crypto supply isn't regulated by govt. How much of our inflation bubble was caused by massive unregulated infusion of weird M2 infusions of bitcoin into the economy? And how much recession fear is from an unregulated bust? fortune.com/2023/02/02/ban…
#M2= Money in circulation on Federal Reserve statistical tables. The Federal Reserve uses the indicator to control of the supply of money. #Crypto wreaks havoc with the reliability of this number. On the front end, it created explosive growth that helped trigger inflation. (2)
On the back end, with the #CryptoCrash, it helped to cause an un-measured contraction in the supply of money (M2). Are you happy that a chunk of this key economic tool is now in the hands of con artists, gamblers & dark money launderers? (3)
Big #Covid19 outbreak at #MtPleasant#stateprison. 170+ inmates tested positive in sweep. Bumped #HenryCounty#Covid rate form 5% to 16.4%. But no impact on in-school learning at local schools thanks to #CovidKim's ruling that prison staff& families don't get covid. #iapolitics
What's #CovidKim's rationale for not including #prison & #packingplant#Covid19 cases in school opening calcs? Cuz active tracking would quickly identify cases & quarantine cases from the sites. So why didn't #IaGov establish the program? Needed 5K trackers. Now? 300. #IaPolitics
So what's in store for poor citizens of #HenryCounty (pop 20K)? Prison is 7% of population. 340 staff + 1000+ total prisoners. Assuming that half the staff are or 2B infected it's really big & no viable tracker system. Sorry. #SOL! #IaPolitics#CovidKim
1)12 days B4 @NYT reported #Russia paid #Taliban a bounty to kill US troops, the nation's top military intelligence analyst, #AnthonySchilella, put a bullet in his head. Did he leak to NYT on #Trump's refusal to act? It would have gone thru him. @JoeBideninterc.pt/3job9Id
2) So now we have a bizarre #Putin-Like mystery on our hands. What reverberation or fear of retaliation would have set off #Schinella's suicide? Weeks from retirement . . . Was he placed in the impossible position of sticking with the truths he knew to be or lying?
3) The one fact that stands out. #Schinella knew. He was in the pipeline. He got it into #Intelligencebriefing for #POTUS in March, when it was first ignored. He knew the impact of the bounty on US lives and US morale. And he was stymied.
3) so why did #FortressCreditCorporation opt to take a $104M bath on a $150M note rather than snarl #Trump in court? #DeutscheBank maybe? Perhaps a secret backfill agreement to make #Fortress whole? And where is only logical source of funds for such an agreement? #Putin.
