Not All Shocks Are Bad

 
Contrary to all the caterwauling and hand-wringing that happened last night over the historical event so far of this young Century, you should like the markets even better if for no other reason than there should be less price fixing and central bank manipulating.

Still another reason will be all those celebrities and quasi-pundits exiting the country. We don't know if it was just our imagination or what, but the air seemed a lot cleaner, fresher this morning. New brooms supposedly sweep clean and that could mean an end to life under the heel of the current monetary policy hacks in the Eccles building. Or those at Goldman Sachs and their close Washington friends.

The Trump win also sends a message across the Atlantic to the UK parliament. You want a democracy? The people of the UK--like it or lump it--spoke. Any underhanded ploy now to steal or reverse that will hardly go down easily. Hard or soft and Brussels bureaucrats be damned. The list of losers is long, lush and pleasant to see starting with MSM. One of the more disgraceful acts of this nation was to have a United States president go to another sovereign nation to threaten and scaremonger that nation's citizens, to attempt to openly influence an election. Lots of bullies wear suits.

It was telling to watch those media pundits at the various outlets, so sullen and glum even before the event was finally called, wondering if the new administration would demonstrate a form of "turn the other cheek" philosophy, a tenet of a religion many of these talking big-mouths overtly despise and seek to destroy. These are people who hitched their personal Pegasus to one of the darkest, most evil movements in modern times. Its formal name is political correctness or zero tolerance and now they're wondering about turning the other cheek. The souls of these people, if they have any, are more dark and gray than an early overcast morning along the coast in northern California.

But this is far from over, not so much because of what the losers will try to do to counter this, but because radical and permanent change is a must if you want to have a nation, a so-called union. There are no chosen few. Elitism in all of its nefarious forms, political, academic, economic or otherwise, must go, not via the usual crumb tossing changes, but go. And go with it is any and all versions of kick the can. Period. There's something called a subject,verb, object. All declarative sentences have them, implied or stated.There must be indictments and prosecutions. Without them there can be no semblance of healing, apologies be damned. The law was broken. You want the rabble to honor the law, honor it your Goddamn selves.

Both of these tired and trite parties are losers. Surprisingly, the Democrats more so than the stodgy old Wall Street Journal editorial board-hinged Republicans. Their shortcomings stem from pure ignorance, pure being completely out of touch. The Democrats are far more sinister, taking as they have for decades, minority voters for granted, promising much and delivering little. It was as if they believed these decent people couldn't recognize fulsome sincerity when they are saw it. That's the height of contempt. So too are the bi-coastal crowds losers. There is a middle America despite all the evil attempts currently afoot to change it.

Immigration needs to be slowed or put on moratorium until they can mold a decent, accurate way of figuring out just what the hell is coming into and not coming into this nation. Good jobs need to be created, not the Obama In-N-Out Burger kind. And term limits. The days of  public supported freeloaders camping out in Washington for years to retire on lucrative retirements paid by taxpayers needs to end. Not all shocks are bad.

In the meantime, we want to wish all those celebrities and quasi-pundits who are packing their bags this morning, a safe trip and a permanent stay.
