Steve’s Barking; What if the top secret papers at Mar- Largo was garbage (Fantasy)

 The powers that be ( The bureaucrats) saw what a security risk the 45th president of the United States was when he took office. It was decided that they would give the then president altered and alternative information. It was even hoped that the president would give this information to foreign governments because they would prepare to face the United States with wrong information. These deep state persons felt that our enemies were getting wise so they had to have a raid on the 45th President’s Shangri-La claiming that there was top secret information at Mar-Largo easily accessible.

* FDR wasn’t given all state secrets for the state department and the war department felt he couldn’t be trusted… At least that what I’ve been told.

**This particular blog would make a great novel plot.

Steve’s Barking; Trump the Rino

 It’s funny πŸ˜† that Ex President Trump should call anyone a Republican in Name Only! Wasn’t he the one who was a Democrat at the turn of the century. Wasn’t he the one who believed in abortion till he decided to run for president as a Republican. Wasn’t he the one who went against Republican orthodox of little borrowing. Didn’t Trump  go against the old Republican wisdom of discouraging an increase in the money supply by the federal reserve? No Trump and his followers can’t call anybody a Republican in Name  Only, unless they are a new kind of Republican.!!!

*** Now the Democrats from upstate New York when running for the House of Representatives we’re always for gun owners rights until they represented the whole state were they became anti NRA.  Guess at one time those representatives were Democrats in Name Only.

Steve’s Barking; Student debt, who’s money is it anyway?,

 The President has dated that he will cancel $10,000 dollars in student debt  of those making under $125,000 and $20,000 for those who had pell grants.

I’m not going to get into if cancelling the debt is right or wrong. I have this question that I don’t know the answer to. Are banks the true holders of  this debt and if they are, does the government have to get this money from the treasury or by borrowing (bonds come to mind)? If the government owns the debt why isn’t student debt a plus on the balance sheet ( or a way of reducing the national debt as the debt is payed back)

 * I semi lied, the cancellation of student debt is not inflationary.

Steve’s Barking; America πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ has become a nightmare😱erhaps

 America has changed. America that I grew up in was a dream nation. We had racial problems, that we fixed. Our colleges were affordable. We had faith in our government. Most of the nation respected law in enforcement especially those who called themselves conservatives. We had faith in our elections. Losers weren’t whiners if they lost 😞 an election screaming rigged. They respected the system. We had more hospital beds  doctors and nurses then we do now. There was belittling of the opposition but it wasn’t 1/10 as bad as it is now ( blame it on social media). Most of us thought πŸ’­ things through, not irrational thinking πŸ€”. Perhaps we just got lazy. Maybe the Russians learned how to screw this nation with out firing a shot. Maybe πŸ€” it’s social media. Perhaps πŸ€” it’s the old bugaboos greed, and selfishness. It might even be self centered social media. Perhaps πŸ€” it’s a combination of all these things. What ever it is  America πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ that I grew up with and those  of us who thought  that it was heading into a dream 😴 nation , just found out that the dream 😴 has turned into a nightmare 😱.

Steve’s Barking; Why the variant from one week to another in oil storage?

 It seems like every time the price of oil goes up or down it’s due to the fact that oil storage goes up or down, or at least what I’ve been reading. What this not too Sophisticated person doesn’t quite understand why does the amount of stored oil change from week to week, or in some cases day to day?

Steve’s Barking; Ukraine, their hearts grow colder

 There may never be true peace in Ukraine because of Russia’s belief in terrorizing in order to win. It has worked before, but not this time. Blaming the West is great for Russians domestic consumption but it was not bring total compilation and with a slight help from the West Russia is in trouble. The problem with Russia is they could of had everything they are asking for now in negotiations prior to the incursion into Ukraine.

Steve’s Barking; Those money losing company must pay taxes!😟

 I keep reading how much money Tesla, and Amazon make these gigantic profits! Don’t they put it n their facial statements? After all it must be true! Therefore because it these companies are make gigantic profits and πŸ’© they don’t pay πŸ’° taxes or at least there fair share of taxes they must pay πŸ’° at least a minimum. Hell us people have to pay πŸ’° a fica tax weather we can afford it or not. These wealthy companies are just like humans so the Supreme Court says that companies are human ( or some such statement like that ).

 Now let’s just say that with the profits that companies like Tesla and Amazon are making the profits that they claim to be making because they aren’t paying  off their principles and in the case of Amazon are purchasing other companies. πŸ€” just because 😼 one accounting methods show a profit doesn’t mean the company really has a profit! There comes a time just like real people a  company has to pay off it’s debt. Crazy 😜 me I just have the notion that instead of bringing in more tax dollars it may do just the opposite. Lay offs! Not declaring the same after tax profits, scaring off investors. Hurting pensions, IRAs, and 401Ks. If this hold true it’s not good. 

Question πŸ™‹‍♀️ did those dastardly gas ⛽️ companies, are they paying their fair share of taxes?

Steve’s Barking; What ever happened to the party of law and order ?

The party of law and order is no more! The new Republican Party is now the party of distrust the federal law enforcers . This makes one think of the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers, and other American communist they too distrusted federal law enforcement. Now these new Republicans like to call themselves conservatives, this gives a new meaning to be a conservative. The old time consecutive believed in any means to get the bad guy, now the new conservatives like Rick Scott, Ron DeSantis, and Marc Rubio are calling how wrong and political it is to enforce a lawful search warrant against the former president. If they hold to that principle it was wrong to have a search warrant against Daniel Ellsberg.

Steve’s Barking; Russians going to other countries bad for Russia πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί πŸ‘Ž

 Why in the world would anybody who is mad 😠 at Russia want to ban Russians from leaving Russia and going to other countries.

No the Russian leadership should be 😠 that those who would help Russia πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί 5he most are saying bye, bye πŸ‘‹.

Steve’s Barking; BIG COUNTRIES, YA JUST CANNOT TRUST THEM TO KEEP THEIR WORD

 Now if I’m mistaken, The United States stated that Taiwan was part of China, yet the United States treats Taiwan as a separate country.

 If I’m not mistaken when the British ceded Hong Kong to China, the Peoples Republic of China promised in Hong Kong would be fairly independent and we see what happened to Hong Kong peoples Republic of China rule Hong Kong very heavy handedly.

 If I’m not mistaken when the Soviet Union Split and became Russia, Russia promised that Ukraine would be a free state. But in recent history Russia is taking over by means of military parts of Ukraine. Even though they promised that if the Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons they definitely would be an independent state, free from interference from Russia.
