Steve’s Barking; Trump, the same as Jackson

 This lame blogger wants to compare President Andrew Jackson ( old hickory) and Donald ( the master builder) Trump. (1) They both claimed that the election they lost was stolen from them.(2) One ran the country in a dictatorial way and the other his running the country in a dictatorial way. (3)One made fun of his enemies and the other is doing the same.(4) One ignored the Supreme Court and the other wants to. (5) One catered to the rabble and so is the other catering to the rabble. (6) One wanted to punch or a least jail his critics and that is what the other one wants to do.

Steve’s Barking; The next GOP presidential candidate will be Tucker Carlson

  Why do I say that the presidential candidate will be Tucker Carlson because Tucker Carlson is a celebrity host. Of the last four republican presidential candidates two of them were celebrity hosts. Going along with past performance celebrity host are prime candidates for the president. Oh and I almost forgot Tucker is a conservative.

 The only problem with Tucker is he’s kind of young and the GOP loves them a lot older, perhaps some one like Bill O’Reily will be the next nominee.

Steve’s Barking; Democratic Party silly season

 

 Who is going to be the Democrats presidential candidate that can best represent the party in the next presidential election? Is it California governor Newsom? No,no no no. Is Pennsylvania governor Shapiro? No, no ,no.no. Ocasio- Cortes? No, no no,no.  Harris? No,no, no, no. Beshear? Ah? Pritzker ? Uh na,  There are other’s who name appears in the spotlight.

 What I’m going to say may surprise many but judging from the last four Democrats who won the Oval Office, three were relatively unknown before before winning the nomination and becoming President. Carter, Clinton , and Obama.

 Judging by past performance tge best thing the Democrats can do is nominate a relatively unkown.

 

Steve’s Barking; I was wrong about free trade, and bringing down tensions

 Oh this blogger is such a fool. I believed in all my heart that having free trade and having countries depend on each other would lesson tension and prove that we of the world community depends on each other, to keep prices down and to keep employment high, therefore the tensions between countries would be lessened. Ah but my country  the good old US of A and its leadership has proven me wrong. 

 It appears to me and maybe I’m wrong but the selfishness of leadership to prove superiority is more important to the leadership then a stabled world order were everyone benefits.

Steve’s Barking; Reason crime rate fell in the U.S. ?

 According to statistics the crime rate in The US of A fell last year.

 There are some who will tell you this is because of America’s crackdown on illegal immigrants.

 Others will tell you that it’s because of the stricter enforcement of the gun laws.

 My theory is that statistics lie.

Steve’s Barking; Qustion of othe day, does the west worship G-d or religion?

 

 I look at Islam and see self righteous sects who claim that they are the true Worshipers of G-d. They attack each other because they can’t attack harder other religions that believe in G-d. I look at those who are Sunni,Shite, and even Al-Qaeda, and Isis. They attack and demean each other.

 I look at this and then I look at Christianity. Are Christians who belong to other denominations at one time Or another attacked verbally and physically one another.

 I look at Jewish denominations and if it wasn’t for antisemitism, they might be attacking each other too. I know at one time and the Jewish tribes they split up and 10 tribes went one way and two tribes went to another. Could this be because of religious differences?

 Why question is if they believe that G-d is almighty, why do they question the way one Worships the almighty, for the almighty will strengthen it all out.

 It’s almost in my mind that those who suggest that their way is the right way and the only way are anti

G—d.

Steve’s Barking; AI should help solve the fiscal problem of the U.S.

 The good old US of A I keep hearing is having a fiscal crises. Its debt is according to some is unmanageable. Now some of these know it all says we can’t raise taxes, because if we raise taxes the rich will say goodbye and find a tax haven in some other country. 

 Now there are some who believe that we should cut services. There are some who even believe that we have a bloated work force that needs to be cut.

 There are some out there who claim that the the government doesn’t do enough for the citizens of the United States, so perhaps we should cut the money going to the military and incarceration.

 What to do, what to do.

 Well this intrepid blogger says that we should use Artificial Intelligence to fix this dilemma. Why would I write this. Well we are being told that artificial intelligence is way smarter then non artificial intelligence, and if that’s is true then it would be prudent for the manufacturers of AI to prove it by having a contest to fix the deficit of America and prove that AI is truly brilliant.

Steve’s Barking; Our ( great);grandparents economy coming soon

 My generation’s grandparents were in most cases poor if you are much younger then me that would be your great grandparents. They Squeaked by. Now this blogger seems to think that we’re headed in the direction of our grandparents, just getting by. Inflation is eating many of the salaries, also the savings of many of our retires.

 If you look at the dollar amount that the salaries of the workers and you compare them with the saluof the 30s and 40s you may shake your head after all today’s monetary salaries our huge compared to the old day, but if you compare it to the price of necessity the United States may be headed in a worse place then yesteryear

 Another hard to comprehend blog from Steve’s Barking.

Steve’s Barking; The weird price of oil 3/6/2026

  The price of oil keeps going up WTI over $90, a barrel, same is true for Brent. Now you might ask yourself why is that weird, after all there is a military action going on near  oil producing states in the Middle East. Well the problem is the world probably has too much oil being produced but a hardship of shipping much of it. Now if I remember my economics the price of crude should be going down because their is not much need to produce oil if much of it can’t be shipped or the cost of shipping is too high. 

 Yea the cost of gasoline should be going up, same is true of electricity that is run on oil for the product can’t be refined significantly, that basic economics, but the price of the raw material shouldn’t be going through the roof, as we who studied capitalistic economics should understand.

Steve’s Barking; Iran disaster now, future ( 🤔maybe) better for the region and the world

 

 There is no doubt in my mind that American, Israel military action in Iran is a disaster for the American people and the citizens of the Middle East. In the Middle East death destruction and it’s hard to do business. In the U.S. inflation and ( possibly) disruption in business and jobs.

 There was all indications that the present Iran government was a disruptive influence and war like ( even calling for a war against Israel and eventually against what it called infidel countries such as America) and a backer of terrorist.

Now if one thinks about it, those countries that are openly fighting Iran now was fighting Iran for years, only now it’s much more open and in the United States not quite legal would be battling Iran for years to come and perhaps ( very possible) Iran would become stronger militarily and America would be harder to go to war ( war act) and Israel not getting much stronger militarily.

 Now it’s possible that because of the military action that’s going on right now possibly bring a much more peaceful Middle East.

 ************************************************************************************

  Many a citizen of Iran was killed by military action, but it’s my understanding that the current government is killing its citizens at a greater amount then what this foreign military action against Iran is doing. Perhaps (?) this military action is good for the majority of the Iranian people is great for the citizens  of Iran.

*************************************************************************************

 It is this blogger’s understanding that America had destroyed democracy in Iran that eventually helped ( many decades) brought about this theocratic dictatorship in Iran. That is one of my fears of military intervention.

 

Steve’s Barking; Is China getting stronger because of the Iran US battle

 

The way this foolish blogger see it, the Inited States is using up its ammunition and China isn’t, If there is a confrontation in the near future the Peoples Republic of China just might have an advantage in ammunition?

Steve’s Barking ; Why are the Democratic Socialists picking on me?

Tax the rich, that is what Bernard Sanders said the other day. My understanding is that there are many a person in the United States who feel the same way. 

 Now I’m saying that really an attack on me, some one who’s net worth is less then $100,000 dollars. Some one who’s net worth half of that $100,000. 

 Some one who’s income is less then $100,000. So no I would not be taxed. Well if I would not be taxed how in the world am I proclaiming that the Democratic Socialist are picking on me?

 Wellll I’m a retire with two pension and Social Security, Social Security will in all probability will be solvent but will pay me less then 80% that it pays me now. I:’m not saying that the Dem Socialist are attacking it, but I am saying that by insisting that the super rich are not very liquid but they have their wealth in assets, that they would in all probability sell some lessening the value of said assets. Now my pensions are put into these assets. The value of these assets would go down, thus the value of my pension would decrease. If this would to happen one can only hope and pray that the pensions, mine and others aren’t insolvent.

**********************************************************************************

Those who have their retirement tired to assets such as the stock market, possibly be worse off.

Steve’s Barking; Israel is attacking Iran on Purim

 Oh the irony of it all, Israel is attacking Iran on Purim, the holiday that celebrates the stoping of the massacre of Jews in Persia now called Iran.

Steve’s barking; There’s a religious war going on in the middle East

 

There’s a religious war going on in the Middle East. No it’s not Jew against Muslim though that’s what a lot of ( no a huge majority might tell you). Actually it’s has mostly been who’s the better Muslim the shite or the Sunni ( don’t forget that several decades ago Iranians (shite) tried to take over Arabia ( more specifically Mecca) . Don’t forget al-Qaeda, and  Isis. Now one of all these group’s tenants is there will be no Muslim state in the Middle East or even perhaps the whole world and their form of Islam is the one to bring this about. They by all means will bring this about. 

 Now this blogger may not be totally understood after all Iran was attacked by the United States and Israel ( a non religious Jewish state) but in this bloggers mind these two countries had the tased agreement or even the push to war from the other Muslim and perhaps the non stricter Muslim states in the area, especially now with all the revolutionary fervor that was happening in Iran that seemed to be losing steam.

Make Iran a non Arab state weaker as to be less of  threat.

Steve’s Barking; Patel in locker room of American Hockey team, much ado about nothing

 

 There are too many critics of FBI director Patel being in the locker room of American hockey after the gold medal win over Canada. This blogger says so what. Is it kind of jealousy? Is it what ever a person from this administration does is wrong? Would ninety percent of those critics do the same thing if they had the chance? The team let him in the locker room as far as I can tell. To this blogger there is nothing wrong with that. 

 Stop ragging on zero sense.

Steve’s Barking; Last night 2/24/26 I saw a fantasy

 

Last night 2/24/26 I saw a fantasy on the television. On Netflix they had Conan the destroyer.

What do you think I meant, the president’s state of the union?

Steve’s Barking; How do I know …inflation and recession

 How do I know if this inflation. I know if there’s inflation I’m going to the grocery store and if the prices have gone up, I kind of suspect that this inflation. If I want to buy a car that three years ago cost $30,000 and the new model this year cost $50,000. I kind of know that there’s an inflation.

How do I know if there’s a recession. I know there’s a recession if several of my neighbors have been laid off. I know there’s a recession if some of my neighbors children who just got out of high school and college are having a hard time finding jobs.

I don’t count on government statistics because a lot of of them are screwed to what the politicians and the bureaucrats want.

Steve’s Barking; 3 Weeks military training?

  

I keep reading that the soldiers in the Russian Army have only 3 weeks of military training. If that is true a reasonable person can understand why Russia is doing so badly in their war with Ukraine. Take it from a soldier in the sixties 8 weeks basic training and 8 to 10 weeks individual training. Can do me reasonably compare Russian soldiers to American soldiers.

Steve’s Barking; Mom said, put your money in the bank

 

Mom said, put your money in the bank and don’t invest it because you might lose it and the bank gives you interest and is insured.

 Mom came through the depression and that was the thinking of many a person who lived through the depression.

 One of my uncles on the other hand said invest, it gives you better returns. Look at the balance sheet, it should tell you if it’s going to go out of business. Also most of the stocks I ( meaning himself) invest in pay dividends that are greater then the interest you will get from the savings account from the bank.

 Being a good son I took and are to the present day  is taking my mom’s advice, because of this I’m sure I missed out on many a great opportunity ( in the present day) too make oodles and oodles of money..

 I may also have lost out to loose my shirt if the other investors decided to pull out.

Steve’s Barking; Nothing blog

I recently sent a blog that had zero on it. This only goes to prove that this blogger is just like the recent  presidents of the United States I’m senile.

 The real reason this blog had nothing on it was I was trying to take a  picture of a children’s book that with the help of my family I wrote, If We had no letters.

 I am truly sorry to the two people who saw this nothing blog. Yes I better be careful that I don’t publish nothing ever again, even though some one who reads my blog maybe believe everything I write is about nothing.

 

Steve’s Barking; Can AI save itself?

 

Wtf can AI save itself?

Why would anybody say such a stupid thing?

Well AI needs plenty of water and the Hubs are running out of water.

 AI also needs electricity and at least in the United States electricity were the hubs are electricity is becoming scarce.

So this not to bright blogger is wondering can the smartest man made invention think of a way of saving itself and mankind living near those hubs.

Steve’s Barking; Texas , no water anywhere

 I understand many a person are or are considering to move to Texas because it’s a cheap place to live because of a low tax rate. Now I also understand there is a major drought in Texas. I also understand that Texas is encouraging AI data center to come on down even though these AI data centers need a Stupendous amount of water. 💧 

There are two things that bewilder me. (1) Were in Texas are these AI centers going to get all the water that it’s going to need. (2) Are the people whom go to Texas because of Taxes willing to dehydrate for the lack of water 💧🤔 to not pay high taxes?

*************************************************************************************

 Are those companies making a mistake to relocating factories to Texas with the lack of water and a collapsing electrical grid.

Steve’s Barking; To sum, cut back in income is the same as inflation

 

 Most of us don’t think of it, especially those who just look at the price of goods and service, but to many of us the cutting of income, weather it’s from the pay, your pension, Social Security, or even mentally the loss of value of investments ( mentally) your ability to purchase and or save is reduced. This is the same as  if the price of goods  and services rises, this to the consumer is the same as inflation.

 The reason I’m writing this is because us retires in the not to distant future will be hurt by the reduction in the moneys we get from Social Security and this will be the same as the cost of goods and services rise.

Steve’s Barking; AI …..Predator or dud?

 

I keep hearing that AI ( artificial intelligence)  in robots and computers can out think humans and actually do things only animals can do and that is reasoning and thinking. These things ( I don’t know what else to call them ) can out think us humans and if we’re not careful they will take over the world, kind of like the movie predator ( The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie) and we humans will become obsolete.

 Now I understand that there is a minority train of thought that AI can only go so far and then it will soon reach it capacity that it will just be able to calculate faster us humans and help us manipulate are thinking by movies and photos. That in the next couple of years this will hit a stone wall.

 Now this blogger is bright enough to figure what is next and I’m one of those who use AI only to look up facts that may or may not be manipulated by humans and or machines.

Steve Barking Do ya really trust US government statistics?

 

Do you really trust statistics by a group of people who would lose their jobs if they gave lousy figures.??

There are an awful lot of fools out there who believe what ever the government says, even though those giving  the reports would lose their jobs if it shows too much negative numbers.

 The current U.S. labor statistics seems to this old fool like the numbers that came out of the old Soviet Union,

Steve’s barking; Don’t care about Super Bowl Half time show

 

This idiot couldn’t care less about the Super Bowl halftime show. I turn in to watch a football game and the damn halftime show is way way too long, no matter who the entertainer is. 

 If I wanted to see a musical performance I’ll go to U Tube music. The half time show takes away from the game. The half time show twice or more then normal halftime and it seems to me it interferes with the mindset of some of the teams.

Steve’s Barking; Is Donald Trump a Republican Socialist?

 Wtf, Donald Trump a Republican Socialist. First of all how can one be a Republican and a Socialist at the same time. Well Mr. Trump says put a cap on credit card interest rates, that’s kind of like what a Democratic Socialist would say. Donald says that drug companies charge too much so let’s pressure the drug companies to drop the price of drugs, now isn’t that what a democratic socialist would say? 

 Hold on, is this blogger saying that the president of America is a socialist and not really a Republican or is the President of the United States trying to turn the Republican Party, which I’m told he represents from a Conservative Party to a populist party.

 Nah this bloggers is just making fun of ( not very good I might add)  what we call socialist, populist and sometimes conservative is crazy.

 Good thing this blogger doesn’t have too many followers, because what he just wrote is kind of hard to understand.

Steve’s Barking; Is it Commuism - Socialism that retards growth or something else

 Ah… I keep reading and hearing on the idiot box that Communist and Socialism makes a country poorer. They tend to talk ( write) about the Soviet Union and Cuba and for some reason they don’t talk about The People’s Republic of China. They also don’t seem to remember Haiti under Papa Doc and a very robust economy of Argentina before Juan Perrone  and the collapse of  Argentina’s economy. The 10 top countries with the highest GDP, most of them Germany, Italy United Kingdom,  Canada ext, with non socialist counties US of A and India (?) Japan (?)industrial power houses in the top 10 ten. ( I’m really not sure we’re to place Australia). 

 In the fog of my writing, I’m saying that you can be a country with communist/ socialist tendencies and be an economic powerhouse while you can be a strong capitalist country and be an economic dud,

 “I” believe that the most effective countries economically are countries that have mixed socialist capitalist  tendencies.

Steve’s Barking; Were is the money coming from???

 Oh this dumb blogger has a problem, he just doesn’t understand were the  money is coming from to finance “AI” computing. I keep hearing that companies like Amazon, Meta and Google are going to spend 2 Trillion dollars in the next year. Now I keep hearing that most of this money is going to be borrowed. Ok where the heck are they supposed to borrow this money from. Now as I do recall from one of my economics classes that would create higher interest rates. Hmm would this hurt the debt of governments, making it more expensive to borrow? While I’m at it, would this raise the cost of borrowing for housing? Now my feeble brain seems to think that the money in circulation is shrinking because of layoffs and consumer spending is slowing. 

**********************************************************************************

I keep hearing of national debt and how will these countries pay off there debt, yet some of these same people don’t worry about company debt. 🤔

Steve’s Barking; Question of the day is a person who has $100,000 in liquid assets richer then a multi billionaire?

 Sounds like an idiotic question, how can a person who only 100,000 dollars in a checking account be richer then some one who is supposed to be worth billions of dollars. Well if the person who has $100,000 and has no debt except living expenses and has income that more then covers his living expenses then his net worth is over $100,000. 

 A so called billionaire who has his money tied up stocks and Real estate and his income which may be huge doesn’t cover expenses, so he borrows against his holdings really richer then the person who has liquid $100,000.

 Don’t forget gross value of stocks and real estate fluctuates and some even collapse.

 What happens to the person if he can’t borrow against his holdings? Is he bankrupt?

 If the holdings go down greater then his debt, is his net worth negative, especially compared to the person who has $100,000 liquid.

*************************************************************************************

 If the person who has $100,000 liquid in the bank and the bank loans money to billionaires is the person with money in the bank third party holder of the billionaire’s debt?

Steve’s Barking; If you have money in the American market and it goes up can you still lose money

 If you have money in the American stock market and it goes up, can you still lose money? Sounds like a stupid question, if the stock you own goes up of cause you’re wealthier, unless the dollar does down against other currencies. Is it possible that that lets say the Euro goes  way up against the dollar in reality you wealth is going down. Is it possible that if inflation is greater then the growth of your stock, then therefore the value of your stocks even though it went up in dollar terms is actually losing value?

 

Steve’s Barking; If you’re not ignorant then you’re stupid

 As I grow older I have a great desire to learn something new every day. If I am learning something new every day then yesterday I was ignorant of what I learned today. If I think I know everything then I must be G-d, because I know I’m not G-d then I know that I’m ignorant of many, many things. If I believe that I know it all then I’m stupid. Even in things that I have pretty decent knowledge, I don’t know it all and because I realize that I don’t know it all keeps me from being stupid.

*************************************************************************************

I hear on the idiot box from people whom tell those who happen to be listening (looking) on this particular show from some supposedly knowledgeable person who gives only part of the story and because they give only a partial part of the story the story is incomplete at best or totally wrong as in most cases.

Steve’s Barking; American sports hall of fames,

 This blogger was a lover of baseball hall of fame, even going to the Cooperstown hall of fame. When y ( baseball hof ) . Ah there is an outrage of the football hall of fame because the winningest Super Bowl couch of all time wasn’t elected on the first ballot. Ah what is being reported that someone leaked the information that Bill Belichick wasn’t a first time elected into the hall. The committee is up in arms about the leak. The committee should be up in arms about the small amount of football retirees who can be elected. In this blogger’s opinion there are greats who will never be put into the hall of fame. Again in this blogger’s opinion’s yep couch Belichick should have been elected right off the bat, but because of the goofy rules( my opinion) possibly some of the voters didn’t vote for him be leaving that he would get in despite them not voting for him but their hope was one that they voted for that hadn’t been voted in and should’ve been would get enough votes. Nice idea, but a greater idea would be the changing of the rules that perhaps quadruple the amount that can be voted in. If not quadruple at least double for the next ten years while those who saw the old timers and know how great they were and not being looked at.

 Now let me write about the foolishness of the baseball hall of fame. Some other greatest players of my time are better denied because of cheating. No Bonds, no Sosa, No Clemens. Yet Roe who admitted to cheating is in.   Niekro who was caught with doctoring the ball with an Emory board in his pocket is. Perry who admitted to throwing a spitball is.

 What about Mr. Rose who was a tremendous hitter but bet on games so he’s not in, yet persons like Cobb and Speaker was charged with actually throwing games are in ( never proven)

 (/This writer not they taken about gambling on games that you not involved in is no big deal).

 This old man has become ho, hum on American Sports hall of Fames.

Steve’s Barking;Border police in Minneapolis huh

 I’m Confused what the heck is the border police doing in Minneapolis which is miles and miles from the border? Is that a misuse of federal agents because ICE can’t handle its job? I guess ICE agents are like the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz. Are they melting?

Steve’s Barking; It’s imperative that Social Security has a trust fund

 Social Security’s has negative balance, and because it has a negative balance the U.S. treasury is paying what is owed to the recipients. They takes money away from paying things like the arm forces, paving roads and other essential services so the treasury has to double the borrowing weakening the U.S. dollar. The treasury used to borrow from the Social Security trust fund to help pay the bills, but as of now the treasury is hit with a double whammy of paying off what it has borrowed from Social Security and paying for essential services ( and not so essential services).

 My suggestion is to do away with the cap on what is taxed.

 In the near future Social Security will be paying only 79% or less to the recipients of Social Security, they may leave some of the stress on the treasury, but in all likelihood it will put a stress on the U.S gross domestic product because there will be less money in circulation, especially for those who have little or no other retirement money.

 The ending of the cap on what is taxed should have been done way in the past, The United States needs to refill the Social Security trust asp to shore up its finance's.

Steve’s Barking; Dollar collapse, loss of wealth ?

 Ah I keep hearing of these multi billionaires and how wealthy they are. Now let me get this straight ( I could be absolutely wrong) but isn’t their wealth is in terms of the dollar? Now I also understand that the dollar is falling in terms of other currencies of the world.  Now what happens if dollar turns into value less then the Mexican peso ( I know that there may be some snarky people out there who if they were to read this would fall off their chair in laughter). I being who I am look at those countries that are selling the United States debt, therefore weakening the dollar. The Cheapening dollar by printing more dollars. The Looking of countries to make trade deals that exclude the United States, because of the high tariffs. The no need to buy American products because of these trade deals, therefore less need for the American dollar.

 Now of course these billionaires will still be billionaires ( maybe) but their worth in the terms of foreign currency will not be the same.

************************************************************************************

The weakening of the Social Security system is another attack on the dollar, but I’ll leave that for another post.

Steve’s Barking; Is garbage in American food actually bad for you?

 Now we all know that I as an American eat food with unnatural stuff such as chemicals, and sugar.   Meats in most cases have growth hormones and fruits vegetables in a lot of cases are sprayed with what is called poison ( things like DDT).

 Question is farmed raised fish better or worse for the human body then fresh caught fish that may have plastics in them and  even perhaps diseases that are undetected and natural chemicals that the fish produce. The same is true for farm animals, thaw vegetation from the ground that the animals eat may stay with the animal and we the eater may be consuming in our bodies. What about the growth hormones that are given to live stock are they really and truly harmful to us humans and if not do theses hormones make for a taster and healthier food? Let’s not forget about about the pesticides that are used, how dangerous are they to us humans, do we need to eat a tremendous amount or even a little amount dangerous. What if we don’t use pesticides, would we have enough vegetables ?  What about the bread that we Americans eat that doesn’t come from the bakery?Does the chemical that we put into our industrial process bread hurting us or because it saves the shelf life of bread and prevents things like mold from happening sooner than later.

**********************************************************************************

Fresh bread from a good bakery tastes much better the grocery store bread Wild caught fish seems to have a better flavor to them, natural raised live stock when not starving in my opinion have a slightly better flavor. The same is true for fresh fruits and vegetables that don’t have pesticides on them taste better.

Steve’s Barking; Fear, vs anger vs exhaustion vs hatred winning at war

 This goofy blogger thinks that there are several ways of winner a war, it can be a combination. Russiathat it can beat Ukraine in my mind first by fear and then by exhaustion. Ukraine is fighting by anger and hatred and it seems that anger and hatred is winning.

 The Palestinians think that they can take Israel with fear, anger and and possibly exhaustion.The Israelis are fighting the Palestinians With fear, anger And the hope of exhaustion of the Palestinians.

 The US thinks it can win by using fear ( bombing and Threats ).

Another hard to understand blog to some.

Steve’s Barking; Are warehouse worker replacing salesmen?

 This intrepid blogger has noticed that malls are closing at a record pace. Some of the stores that this blogger has gone too is empty of much merchandise. Now this screwy blogger using his computer to buy merchandise so if many others are doing the same perhaps warehouse workers and delivery persons are taking the place of store workers?

Steve’s Barking; Two world leaders on fantasy Island !

 Who would have thought it. There are two major world leaders who seem to be on a fantasy kick. 

One thinks that he can win a war against the rest of the world when his country hasn’t beaten a much smaller country and his country has shown new weapons that are supposed to scare the rest of the world but as it uses these weapons in a war against a much supposedly weaker country they are absolute failure and the rest of the world is laughing at these weapons failure to deliver.

One of these world leaders who claims that his country’s economy is the best ever while the price of goods and services are in real terms 10 to 20 percent greater after he took office and the for the normal person it getting harder and harder to find a job. Of course his administration seems to have cooked the books and tell an out and out nonsense.

Steve’s Barking; NFL fire the coach

 The NFL has a new game called fire the coach. No matter how successful your coach is if he doesn’t win the Super Bowl let’s get a new coach. The team owners have nobody in mind too replace the old coach. Now this is something that this old blogger doesn’t understand, I was taught that you try not to fire someone unless you have someone who you believe is better or that the person that is being fired is a complete incompetent for the job. The other reason is antagonizing fans or owner. ( In business that would be customers and your superiors )

Steve’s Barking: US new battle ships the crap class

 Several weeks ago President Donald Trump stated that the United States was building new expensive battleships even though in modern war fare battle ships are outdate and modern warfare shows that what is needed is nimble and rather inexpensive weapons such as drones. Because of this I’m calling the new ( outdated) battleships the crap class battleships.

Steve’s Barking ; Did Elon Musk say don’t buy Tesla for your retirement portfolio?.

  Did Elon Musk really say don’t buy Tesla for your retirement portfolio? Wellll not quite, but he is quoted as saying that saying for retirement will be irrelevant in the next 10 to 29 years because of AI. Well this stupid blogger’s thinking if you are just starting out and n your 20s 30s and even 40s then if you take Elon’s believe in what Elon is saying then you would be foolish to buy Tesla stock for your retirement. If you take what he is saying as gospel then you would be foolish to even buy stock for the present.

Steve’s Barking; Shot front,back, on the side, BIG DIFFERENCE

In Minnesota The shooting of Miss Goodall by Ms. Goodall by ICE agent Mr Ross was described by many as self defense and much more as murder. The rush to judgment is the interpretation of video. This crazy blogger believes that it would be clearer if self defense as to how the bullets entered the body of Ms Goodall.

*************************************************************************************I’m not totally blaming the ICE agent, the s hooting took place in the excitement of the moment and knowing the writer of this blog I’m not positive this writer if he was in that position might not have fired his weapon.

Steve Barking; Times have changed …Gun caring mask persons

 Times have changed, when I was growing up a person with a mask and having a gun was always the bad guy.. Ah but now there telling me me that those masked guys are government agents ( whom we are told are the good guys).

Steve’s Barking: Smiling Faces 😀 Mudero in captivity.

  Am I the only crazy 🤪 one, but why does captive Venezuela’s president seem happy.

 Why was there so little casualties on the capture of Mudero on the American side and why does it seem like the only deaths were Cubans?

 Why does it appear that the only regime change is that Mudero is out of office and his vice president is.

 It appears to this crazy blogger that the kidnapping of Mudero was in inside job with a lot of help from the Russians and Mudero knew all along what was going to take place.

 Now one may ask if the Russian’s helped the Americans why are the Americans going after” Russians”“tankers carrying Venezuela crude after all my supposition is that Russia helped the Americans. 

 (1) It’s a rouge and the oil isn’t going anywhere and it makes it appear that the Russians didn’t help the Americans.

(2) It’s not Russian oil and the market for oil right now isn’t good.

Now the way Mudero looks calm and confident one can be suspicious that he knew all the time and his capture and that a foreign power is calling the shots.

Just saying….

Might be totally wrong but I’m suspicious 🤨 by nature.

Steve’s Barking; With friends like U.S. who needs enemies?

 The president of the United States Greenland.. He has said  that he may take it by force. Now I may not be the smartest or the most knowledgeable person, but I’m positive that Greenland is an alloy of the United States and it’s a member of NATO. We have troops stationed there. So even though  the stated reason is the protection from Submarines the United States doesn’t need to rule or own  Greenland, It can place as many troops, radar, sonar or what ever it needs in it without being in possession of it.

 Does the United States need its minerals, private citizens can probably secure mining rights. The last I heard Greenland is a capitalist country.just like the United States.

 No there is no rationale for the United States to own Greenland except to destroy NATO ,  Perhaps the leadership of the United States a tool of its enemies?

The Threats to Canada is also a weakening of the United States to its allies. The enemies of the United States couldn’t have any better partner then the current administration in Washington!!!

Steve’s Barking; US policeman for the world 🤔

 Ah here we go again , my country the good old US of A, kidnapping the  leader of a foreign country called Venezuela. Hmm is that legal?  Oh they say that he’s going to be tried in Brooklyn. I’m confused after all he’s not a citizen of the United States, and what ever law he broke he didn’t do it in the U.S. of A so my punny brain can’t for the life of me figure out how he can be tried in the United States for a crime not committed in the U.S. and not a citizen of the country? Then again I have a puny brain.

************************************************************************************

Do I think that Madero should be the president of Venezuela? He didn’t win the presidency fair and square . But the United States should not interfere in another countries affairs.

*************************************************************************************

What would happen if other countries felt that way that the United States what was doing unlawful things and threatening  other countries,  Do you think that they should try to kidnap and try the president of the United States in a foreign country?

Just thinking! 🤔 

Steve’s Barking; Climate change and a tilting earth

 “We” all know that the earth is warming up and carbon dioxide ( emissions) is to blame. 

 Now this blogger just read that the earth keeps tilting toward the solar system hot spot the sun or possibly I got that wrong maybe it’s moving away from the hot spot and the earth is going to be a little chillier then was expected.

 Now this can’t be right, after all if the earth is tilting and the sun is or isn’t part of heating or cooling the earth now how can we blame us humans.
