What We Learned

In 1960 there was pretty good evidence they stuffed the ballot box in a city noted for stuffing people and ballot boxes.

We will give you three guesses and the first four don't count. A lot of people think the Chicago Cubs' long World Series dry spell owes to some goat thing. It doesn't. It's the ballot box curse. Roasted, based and stuffed like next month's hoard of Thanksgiving turkeys.

Now that MSM declared Trump as someone who doesn't play by their rules, something they pushed since the start of this extremely healthy, most likely historical event, the fear is here, palpable. As one writer recently put it, the "establishment, disconnected from the people it rules, senses, rightly, that it is unloved and even detested."

"Even detested"is a too kindly term if our perception is even remotely correct as we travel, read and study the landscape. Though it may be true one finds what one looks for, we had little interest beyond the economic and market ramifications of another election until it became so obvious the fear of even a Trump candidacy was causing as the establishment began so one-sidedly piling on a guy most took as a functionally tolerable buffoon.

To the haughty, vain , greedy establishment it turns out he is quite seriously neither. When the CEO of Blackrock, the world's largest money management grubbers, cavalierly asked: "What's everyone so upset about?" one knew just how diffident these boys and girls were. Out of touch is one thing, iron rule and utter contempt another. A Wall Street sponsored and politically-ruled central bank strangling the COLA crowd to correct a nasty elite-caused recession in the name of we know best pushed the envelop further among the disaffected. Eviscerating a once-proud middle class was another. Race baiting and porous borders without a reliable, trustworthy vetting system is another. The list is long and acutely visible.

One of the presidential hopefuls boldly tried to reassure the people in the recent debate she would make sure all were vetted thoroughly. She should tell that to the inhabitants of a small northwestern American town were several dozen Syrian refugees with active TB were recently dumped. Just what did the men, women and children of that community do to deserve shouldering that risk? The message is clear: Trust elites at your own peril, just make sure you get vaccinated. It will make the Lords of Big Pharmacy giddy.

The Scotland situation and the consternation it so obviously caused among the elites in what was a close call set the stage for Brexit. The fear and contempt Brexit wrought from the establishment opened they eyes of millions more. The growing realization that nothing ever really gets fixed just pushed down the path like the north-south EU struggle simply added fuel to the growing flame. A litany of growing global regulations growing like noxious weeds didn't help. The overt lack of individual respect festering into elitist contempt for any and all who dare question them. Indeed, even detest is too kind of term.

The whining inventor of the Internet hired a whole gaggle of litigating high profile, powerful attorneys i the dangling chad MSM-institgated mess Now those who say the Gore comparison is incorrect because Gore didn't complain until the votes were in shows what you're up against. Notwithstanding that in the weeks approaching the third and final debate evidence of voter registration and voting fraud surfaced in several states, these people apparently don't really believe the advice of one of their Lords and Saviors, the Omaha Hypocrite, Warren Buffett.

Buffett's sage advice over the years: He's always had better luck avoiding dragons rather than dealing with them after the arrive. The dragons facing those greedy, arrogant elites could have been avoided but now that they are global, you can play hell on a big oboe, they are not going way anytime soon. There's trouble in elite paradise. And big time fear.That's what we've learned. We hope you know what you have.
