Tariffs And Corn Dogs

After days of ridiculous chaos in the markets, I'm going back to what I said before.

If you've been watching Europe, South Korea and Japan, you know that the Euros have wrecked their energy industries and hamstrung themselves with insane green energy regulations. You know the Koreans and the Japanese are running out of young men to work in their factories. All we had to do was slash regulations, cut the deficit and provide plentiful, reliable, inexpensive energy and the industries would have come here on their own. We had it in the bag.

This was all completely unnecessary. All we had to do was what he was already doing. He could have gone out on the golf course and let his very capable administration carry out his intentions from the first 90 days of his presidency and we would have cruised onto Easy Street.

This is what comes from electing a populist like Trump instead of a conservative like DeSantis. I still prefer Trump over Kamala. That's a no-brainer, but this constant frenzy of pointless gyrations is almost too much to bear.

On the plus side, there aren't any stellar homes for sale right now in my particular part of Alabama heaven, so our unrealized losses in the market aren't hurting us ... yet.

Corn Dogs

Our twin grandkitten's third birthdays are coming up and our kitteh-in-law wants to serve corn dogs, among other things. She's a superb cook, but she leaves the deep frying to me. I ran a test batch last night for dinner using this recipe. I learned two things.

  1. Corn dogs are easy to make.
  2. You really don't want to do it. I mean, they're corn dogs. Ugh.

Oh well. The grandkittens will love them.

Corn dogs doin' what corn dogs do.
