Tankers....

 

Six months into Russia’s war on Ukraine, Russia's oil output has continued to exceed expectations. According to data from the Institute of International Finance (IIF), Russian oil shipments hit their highest ever August level this month, with Greek-owned tankers playing the biggest role in helping Russia's oil get to international markets. 

IIF chief economist Robin Brooks has tweeted that the capacity of oil tankers departing Russian ports--a proxy for exports--came in at just under 160 million barrels in August, more than in any August in any prior year.

 The sanctions against Russia have a great sound byte, but that is just it. A matter of fact it hurts Western Europe and USA much more.

Inflation Day..

 

Mikhail..

Mikhail Gorbachev, the final leader of the Soviet Union and a reformer who helped end the Cold War and lead his country from communism to capitalism, died Tuesday at 91, according to the Gorbachev Foundation.

“Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev died this evening after a serious and long illness,” the Central Clinical Hospital reported, according to Interfax.

Born in the village of Privolnoye, Gorbachev grew up a committed communist during World War II. He wound up winning a Nobel Peace prize in 1990 for helping end the Cold War.

When pro-democracy rallies began in Poland and swept across the Soviet bloc in 1989, Gorbachev did not send in Soviet tanks to crush the uprisings.

But within two years, the Soviet Union began to disintegrate as the captive Baltic nations of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia peeled away and other nations that had long been under Moscow’s yoke sought independence.

Cost..

 

All are done to keep the Democratic Party in power. Wasteful spending, blocking energy security, avoiding dealing with the "transitory" inflation, National Security claims, Defending Democracy claims, fighting Dictators, Creating tension with China, extend the war in Ukraine, Sanctions that impacted countries, causing recessions, impacting the little people in US and around the globe, is a small price to hold on to the power. Just a thought.

Whopper..

 

The U.S. economy is going to fall into a recession next year, according to Steve Hanke, a professor of applied economics at Johns Hopkins University, and that's not necessarily because of higher interest rates.

"We will have a recession because we've had five months of zero M2 growth, money supply growth, and the Fed isn't even looking at it," he told CNBC's "Street Signs Asia" on Monday.

In recent months, money supply has stagnated and that's likely to lead to an economic slowdown, Hanke warned.  "We're going to have one whopper of a recession in 2023." 

Meanwhile, inflation is going to remain high because of "unprecedented growth" in money supply in the United States, Hanke said.

Historically, there has never been "sustained inflation" that isn't the result of excess growth in money supply, and pointed out that money supply in the U.S. saw "unprecedented growth" when Covid began two years ago, he said.

That is why we are having inflation now, and that's why, by the way, we will continue to have inflation through 2023 going into probably 2024," he added.

Tension..

 

Two United States Navy warships have entered the Taiwan Strait in what is the first US naval transit in the waterway since US-China tensions spiked this month over a visit to the island by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The guided-missile cruisers USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville were on Sunday making the voyage "through waters where high seas freedoms of navigation and overflight apply in accordance with international law," the US 7th Fleet in Japan said in a statement.

It said the transit was "ongoing" and that there had been "no interference from foreign military forces so far."

So this White House and the Democratic party are looking to start a conflict somewhere with the Chinese/Taiwan story as the domestic agenda deteriorates.

 US jumped to talk about helping the Ukraine, doing the same with Taiwan.

Just a thought.

Cap..

 

The United States had discussions with Indian officials on a proposal to cap prices of Russian oil, US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said, as it seeks global support for a proposal to cut Russian revenue.

India and China have stepped up oil purchases from Russia after the Ukr­aine invasion at a discount to the market price, at a time Western sanctions have pushed global inflation to the highest levels in years and hurt revenues of Eur­opean and American companies linked to Russia’s oil trade.

The Group of Seven aims to have a price-capping mechanism on Russian oil exports in place by Dec 5, when European Union sanctions banning seaborne imports of Russian crude come into force.

The rest of the world disagree with these G7 in all aspect of the sanctions. The sanctions hurt most countries including the G7. The world is paying a heavy price for fuel, food, fertilizers etc.   Just a thought.

Shelter..

 

Overwhelmed city officials are struggling to provide a promised intake center and hotel rooms to migrants being shipped by the busload from Texas to the Big Apple, The Post has learned.

Instead, officials are continuing to co-mingle migrants with New Yorkers in the city’s existing shelter system  which now includes 15 “emergency” hotel facilities to also help handle a summer population surge, according to the DSS.

So the City that bragged of being the Refuge city all this time when the migrants were a thousand miles away now treating the Migrants like the homeless population,  while the homeless are fleeing from the shelters. Go figure. Just a thought.

Skipped..

 

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts slammed Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for suggesting interest rates should go up to combat inflation in the US, saying he could "tip this economy into recession."

"I am very worried about this because the causes of inflation -- things like the fact that Covid is still shutting down parts of the economy around the world, that we still have supply chain kinks, that we still have a war going on in Ukraine that drives up the cost of energy, and that we still have these giant corporations that are engaging in price gouging," Warren told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union."

Warren, skipped what the Democrats doing to the poor people by wasteful spending, cutting down on oil production and starting the sanction on Russia which created this disastrous situation in USA, Europe and poor countries around the world. Just a "dishonest" thought.

This administration is very focused on holding on to the power of the white House and other congressional bodies. Nothing is done to solve the problems of the American people, like Gas Prices, Inflation, South Borders, Covid-19, Baby formulas, etc.

When the Democratic party takes action, never properly prepared. The desire to sanctions the Russians people to destroy their economy, in the process destroying many world economies, pushing the European economies to recession causing food shortage around the Globe.

All their plans and work can simply be summarized the fabulous Afghanistan withdrawal plan and execution that took three days of humiliation.  Just a thought.

Spill-Over..

 

Elected officials and advocates are keeping their eyes on a potential downside of congestion pricing, an increase in traffic on the already polluted and gridlocked Cross Bronx Expressway, one of the spillover effects the MTA’s congestion pricing environmental assessment identified if New York institutes a toll to drive through lower Manhattan.

 In a city where fine particulate matter that is linked to truck traffic is already responsible for hundreds of premature deaths per year, any increase in pollution is an issue. And as the map below shows, The Bronx is already shouldering more than its fair share.

Backlash from political opponents include a demand that Marin, who became her country's youngest-ever leader when she was elected at 34, take a drug test, Insider reports.

The videos don't show any drug use but, according to The Guardian, Finnish media have alleged that a voice can be heard in the footage shouting "the flour gang," supposedly a reference to cocaine or amphetamines.

She was adamant that she has nothing "to conceal or hide" and said she will conduct herself as she always has since becoming prime ministers. "I have free time that I spend with my friends," she said. "I'm pretty sure that's the same as many people my age."

Europe is going over thirty and US is going over eighty's. Just a thought.

Ballerina..

On the surface, the elegant black and white photograph, snapped by Austrian photographer Ronnie Boehm, depicts a bird’s eye view of a crouching ballerina with her hands crossed in front of her. However, upon closer inspection, viewers can make out a spine-tingling killer clown visage like Pennywise from “IT.”

What is the cost of war?

Why do we promote it time and time again? What is our reward?

Simple, The Democratic President failed to do anything about domestic issues. South Border illegal activities. High prices of gas, Climate change, Inflation that is breaking the backs of US citizens, Covid promise of ending it as the death happens to additional 800,000 citizens during Biden's time.

In order to keep the power in hand, start a conflict somewhere. Just a thought.

Success..

A pair of U.S. Air Force B52 strategic bombers on Monday flew low over the Croatian resort of Dubrovnik and three other NATO-member states in the region as a sign of support amid the Russian aggression in Ukraine.

The Balkans and the Adriatic Sea have lately seen increased military, intelligence and propaganda activity by Moscow, which considers the region of its strategic interest because of its access to the Mediterranean.

“The purpose of each flyover is to demonstrate U.S. commitment and assurance to NATO allies and partners located in southeastern Europe,” the U.S. Air Force said in a statement.  

The Democratic Party at its best.
