Steve’s Barking;Are the courts trying to save the Trump presidency?

 It seems to this crazy blogger that the courts are trying to save the Trump presidency by saying guess what the tariffs are null and void because of this irrational thing called the constitution. How may you ask would this save the Trump administration? Well Tarrifs are this here inflationary thing that are hurting the American consumer and because they are inflating the price of goods that our businesses would need n all likelihood lay off people or go out of business hurting what people see as our commander in chief hurting them, they may not take too kindly in their minds to the president and his supporters in the Republican Party. 

If the Pres was smart he would blame the courts for holding his administration back when in reality the courts are helping him from hurting the American people making many of those who at one time loved him, pissed off at him.

 Ah but what does this blogger know!

Steve’s Barking: What the heck is a country?

 I’m bewildered! In my old age I am confused as  to what a country is! Is it the land? Is it the people who live on the land? Is it just a conglomerate of tribes? Is it a combination of these. 

 Looking at the Middle East one would have to say that it’s kind of tribal.

 Looking at the Russo, Ukrainian war it’s land, the leadership doesn’t seem to care about its people.

Looking at the United States, it’s seems  to be a kind of tribalism, with one tribe combine with other tribes to run the country from other tribes. It also seems like threats for a land grab, and a disregard for many of the people.

Steve’s Barking: What the heck happened to American sports?

 Is it just me, but what happened when you want to see your favorite home town team on the television. What channel is it on. Is it on the channel that generally shows the team. Is it on a channel that one pays for to watch your team? Is it on a special channel, that you have to pay extra for and there are so many special channels like , prime, Apple TV, Paramount Plus. Let them American consumers pay and pay.

 What happened to college sports were in some instances the athletes make more money playing for college teams then they do plying for professional teams. That’s not the worst of it, because the athletes change team so frequently it’s almost impossible to have a cohesive unit because you don’t know if your freshman will stay with you as a sophomore and a sophomore will go to another school in their junior year?

 While I’m upset with the state of American sports, and it’s taken much of the joy I had for sports most of my life. I’m against regulations for sports, even college sports after all I’m a free enterprise person.

Steve’s Barking: The US is losing the trade war in a very important area

 The United States is obviously losing the trade war inn a very particular area.
 Now what can that area be?
 Tourism!!!!
 There are so many tourist from China, Canada and the EU who refused to visit the US because of our nationalist policies while that not deterring Americans from going to those countries thus contributing to American trade dis balance in favor of China, Canada and the European Union.

Steve’s Barking; Question, do tariffs mean double taxation

 The consumer offsets the tariffs by paying higher prices. When the consumer buys most products he pays a sale tax, Does this mean that the consumer pays tax on a tax?

Steve’s Barking; Republicans stealing Democrats ideas 💡 💡💡💡💡

Is it just me, but didn’t the President of these United States just sign an executive order lowering drug prices. Isn’t that something the liberal democrats have been screaming for years.
 I could have sworn that a fellow named Steve Bannon ( a MAGA insider) complained about the obligarts ( supper rich businessmen) running the country ,now I could have sworn that was the Provence of the so called left wing Democrats.

 It seems to me that the Republican Presidents is acting corruptly, and  thought that was what the Republicans blame the Democrats of doing.

Oh didn’t I just hear that the government just let many refugees ( from South Africa) in. I could have thought that was a Democrat thing.

Steve’s Barking; The same as it ever was China US trade deal

 This intrepid blogger did a tiny bit of research and it appears that the tariffs that the U S placed place on China  is on 5/11/25 is pretty much the same as they were before the president had Tarrifs placed on China of 135% or was it 145%, it was so long ago and no one could afford them. Any how I didn’t check to see  if China had the same restrictions before the tit for tat. It probably was. Now if you ask me and no one has it was kind of for domestic mental consumptions

Well, Wall Street screwed up, the next two months because there is a major deficit of merchandise coming from China, U S firms are going to take a direct hit, and by the time things may get back to normal, new threats of tariffs will be coming out.

 In the mean time there is a good chance that China will find new markets and find new merchants ( non US) to sell it what it needs, especially food products.

 What is a better way to punish a country, Tarrifs that is government controlled or boycott which many Europeans and South Americans perhaps will be doing to US products.

Steve’s Barking; Revolution, what is it good for?

 Revolution, what is it good for? ( War, what is it good for?) Absolutely nothing!
 Now that’s not entirely true. After all my country came out of a revolution and many a country became better because of a result of the people. But and this is a “big” but the turmoil that comes out of successful revolts can and in most cases especially in modern times make one  wonder. I’m looking at Libya, and the insanity there. I’m looking at many African nations and the insanity they have. ( yea I know Libya is an African nation) . I’m looking at the United States and the mini revolts that took place after England gave it  its freedom. I’m looking at a free Russia that had a second revolution after it overthrew it’s Czar  and the turned into a dictatorship. I looking at the Chaos  that happened after the French Revolution.
 I’m hopping that there will be stability in Syria now after the Assad regime was toppled. I’m also hoping that stability will come to Libya. That countries in Latin America come with peaceful prosperity. The same is true with countries in Africa., as well as the poorer countries in Asia.

Steve’s Barking; Population decline maybe a good 👍🏾 thing!

 I keep reading that varicose counties that the populations of countries like Russia and China and possibly even the United States are on the decline. Now that might not be the worst thing in the world if we are running out of resources and running out of jobs due to Artificial Intelligence The fact of the matter it may be even a necessary evil that the birth rate is on the decline for the survival of the planet. The major problem how do we employ or at least pay those who are not as necessary to do the work?

Oh no, not another cryptic statement

Steve’s Barking; Don’t matter what the Fed does?

 Another crazy blog or a blog that goes against conventional wisdom. The Federal Reserve can not bring down inflation, because the last inflation and the inflation in the near future are self inflicted. The best the Feds can do is lower their interest to next to zero and “hope” that it will encourage banks to lower their interest rates so that entrepreneurs can borrow to build factories that would produce a greater amount of goods thereby lowering their cost of products.This can no happen in less then five years if at all. 

The Fed can not produce goods, period and the lack f goods is what is driving this inflation .

Steve’s Barking; When manufacturing was king in the U.S. employment was?

 It seems to this intrepid blogger that making things in the U.S. of A doesn’t bode well for the employment rate. Now it appears to me that in the 70s, when you might say was a peak in American manufacturing the unemployment rate in America was worse then when we turned into a service and consumer economy. As the old professor would say, you can look it up.

Steve’s Barking ; Why you should face JD Vance’s back when he’s talking

 One should face JD Vance’s back because he always talks out of his ass., so that way you can hear  him better.😉😉😉

Why are those who complain about lack of free speech are the first to deny it????

Steve’s Barking: ADP vs LABOR jobs report for April 2025

 Oh crap, the ADP jobs report show only 62,000 new jobs in April and the department of labor 177,000 new jobs created. A discrepancy of over a 100,000 new jobs. Whom do you trust? A labor department who employees are fearful about losing their jobs, or a company that has a limited survey?
