Ronald Desantis was named for Ronald Reagan

Reagan was elected Governor of California two years before Nixon won the Republican nomination and then was elected President. He was going to take over at the end of Nixon’s second term in 1976, but then Nixon resigned in 1973, and Reagan had to take on an incumbent, Gerald Ford. He lost that fight but went on to become our 40th President when he was 70.

So his Italian American namesake needs to be a little patient, just like the Gipper was.

Will Ron Kiss the Ring?

I don’t think so. It’s like he’s the last man standing. His wife would kill him if he did.

So the Donald’s daughter-in-law won’t be a Senator. Most likely, that will go to Florida AG Ashley Moody. When she and DeSantis run in the same election, she gets more votes than he does.

Presidents don’t select Senators. Governors do that. As long as they don’t kneel and kiss the ring.

Short the Peso

If you’ve got guts, and money, you can make $$$$$$$ on currency bets. Soros made a fortune shorting the British pound.

I’m going to see if there’s a way for me to short the Mexican peso. These guys are an economic appendage of the US, and Trump intends to make them squeal.

Speculation

In order to develop the rare earth ores at the Ambler mine it will be necessary to pass a bill in Congress in order to fight off the lawsuits from the greens. It took such an act of Congress for the Alaska pipeline to be built. That bill was introduced on March 1, 1973 and was signed by Nixon on November 16, 1973.

I believe, based solely on logic, and no inside information, that an Ambler access bill will be introduced. It would produce revenue for the feds, so it can avoid a filibuster. The company which would benefit is TMQ. Its stock has doubled since the election.

I’m not suggesting anyone buy this stock. I’m just having fun theorizing.
