TGIF! I don’t know about you guys but we were redlined all week long. So, I need this shoot the shit to unwind a bit. I hope you’ll join in because our shoot the shit will save you from having to pay someone who majored in psychology so they could understand themselves $150 an hour.

This is the time of the year when packages, Christmas cards etc. need to be mailed out. So, I think it was Monday, I was at the main post office, where there was a huge line. While waiting in line, I saw a postal employee, probably in his mid 60s, walked in to start his shift – no big thing! However, it’s how he walked in that was a kicker. Now check this out. He was a white male wearing mirrored sunglasses and at least a couple of chains. His right shoulder was lower than his left and his head was dipped to his right side as he walked crisscrossing his legs while swinging his right arm. He also had a small boom box with him, which was silent at the time. In a minute or two, he strolls out from the back and clocks in. In another minute or two, the line starts hearing Curtis Mayfiled’s Superfly.  This, all while he’s moving mail trays back and forth. Everybody in line had this perplexed look an their faces! PLAYER WAZ UP! LOL!  A sight to be hold without a doubt.

I remain bewildered by the abuse President Trump takes on a daily basis, it’s an embarrassment to say the least. Allegations that he’s only taking care of his rich buddies or that he’s stupid and unfit are without basis and stands as a monument to the level of stupidity in the media, and on the left. All you need to do is to take a look at his economic strategy.

What’s necessary for a successful economy and business climate…

1. Fiscal Policy (taxes) that incentivizes capital investment and adds to consumer disposable income.
2. Monetary policy that makes credit available to business and consumers at a low rate without igniting inflation.
3. A regulatory environment that considers national interests without overburdening businesses and individuals

No.1 Is being addressed by his tax package and that the Senate is trying to water down.

No.2 We’ve had a prolonged period of great liquidity at low interest rates without igniting inflation.

No. 3 He’s been repealing regulations that create business impediments and make the country less competitive globally, and don’t forget renegotiating some very weak trade deals. I hope that he’ll direct his State Department to get rid of the truly ridiculous ITAR regulations that restrain many of our companies from being global juggernauts.

If this is incompetence or stupid or crazy, the individuals making those allegations should quickly find a cure for intellectual hemophilia. Mind boggling, but it’s never been about what’s good for the country, it’s about power and control.

I want to close by saying that some of you have expressed a profound dissatisfaction with your incumbent elected official. The way you deal with that issue is to elect a replacement not switch teams. Switching teams is equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot to get even with the other.

Have a great weekend, be safe, have fun and spend some quality time with your buds and family!
