Where is Alice Huang? The World Waits

       Hmmm. Alice Huang. Yes, she is Chinese. Yes, she shares a name with the head of Nvidia. She knows that Huang, and he knows her. So, why do we care about either?  Well, now. there seems to be evidence that Ms. Huang was gathering information for ----China. Fancy that-a Chinese woman acting as a foreign agent. Seems that history repeats itself in this area.

     Women have proven adept and capable as "information" gatherers, almostr as old as the "oldest profession".  So, no real surprises here; but in the modern world of specialty computer chips, having an agent involved with the world's No.1 chip maker for Ai platforms is quite a coup. Nonetheless, Ms. Huang's whereaboouts are unknown to average Joes.

     But    the Chinese in Peiping are not talking nor are the various US Departments charged with observing spies in our midst.  The Oval probably is still asleep on this one. The Oval is worreid about James Comey, his daughter, and Ms. Mildon working for $50 millions for a Venezuelan family.

Happy All Saints Day; and tell the kids not to eat ALL the candy today!!!! 

How is the Health of POTUS?

      Perhaps the pundits should ask medical professionals; perhaaps some cogent insights would explain the most recent bizarre behavior; the recent stumbling rhetoric; the changes in appearance. And to think the pundits take note of Xi JP's appearance changes but leave POTUS out of the loop.

      Maybe the election results will cause the ultimate "short circuit" inside the cranium.  It seems the general public is aware of many of the recent changes from the POTUS: rambling speeches, disjointed connections; decisions without relevancy, etc., etc.  I believe that the nation's psychologists are waiting in the wings to say "we told you so". Belatedly, sure.

     So, we wait for another 72 hours.  MAybe we can hold our collective breaths;  maybe not. 

Warriors Beat the Lakers

    So, the "Old" Warriors took to the court and promptly fell behind by 25 points against the LA Lakers. The Warriors made lots of turnovers(giving the ball up) and the Lakers acting like Lakers, scored again and again.  It looked very bad to the home fans, swallowing hard as the mistakes became more and more a team problem.

     Slowly, the Golden Staters regained their footing by focusing on ball control and rebounding. It did help to have a healthy Steph Curry and Draymond and some aggressive bench players. Soon, it was tied by halftime.

     Then, the Warriors started to pull ahead: 3-5-7-10 points ahead as LA slumped and couldn't fine the net.  Despite Luka Doncic's efforts, the :Lakers could not overtake the lead, and they ended up losing by almost 15 points.

    Home fans went home happy. 

Iran's Gift to Democratic Candidates

   

What? Iran helping tip the election scale in favor of the Democrats? Seems unlikely, but the truth of the matter is Iran's targeting of US military installations in the Middle East and successfully destroying billions of dollars in critical supplies tells a wider story.

       POTUS and his lackeys in the Dept. of Defense and Oval Office are some of the dumbest appointees of POTUS.  Their understanding of military operations is based on......?????? No, not experience; no, not on their reading of history; no not on consultations with veteran officers and logisticians; no, not based on reasonable buildups; no, not based on anything relevant to the mmission.  The BOOBS-In-Charge care little about outcomes-only appearances.

    Who suffers? THE TAXPAYERS= this is us.

     A recent examination of aerial images indicates considerable damage was caused by missiles sent from Iran and its proxies.  The targeting of supply points around the Persian Gulf was easy, given the modern science of satellite imagery. So, who's to blame? Start at the top: Boob-in-Chief: No.1.

    And on down the line of authority, including all the highly paid generals tripping around the inner rings in the Pentagon. Where are all the "thinkers" who design the supply bases sprinkled here and there? Oh, well. The new Congress will figure out how to fix the problem(s). You can bet on it. Wait: can one bet on Kalshi on who will fix it? On when it will be fixed? ON the amount of funds necessary  to fix it? TAke a look. Maybe.

Don't forget to vote on Nov. 3rd. Throw the bums out; all of them. 

 

Chinese Car Market : Slump, Slumping, Slumped

    So, while the world adapts to electric vehicles, the Chinese consumer has other ideas.  He won't buy a new car today.  So, all these manufacturers are stuck. And also, all the local governments who funded the factories will now start the hand wringing.

    Sounds like Central Planning, 2026 style= not so goooood. The European partners are facing soe of their most trying times with the Chinese partners that have been producing and selling models in China for years. Local governments didn't want to miss out on the transitin from conventional cars to EV's.  The Ev manufacturing sites were sprouting like mushrooms after a rain: they're everywhere. Hmmm. 

    And now:  no buyers. Sounds like the real estate implosion that continues. Xi JP must be losing sleep; maybe that's the cause of his physical decline. Worries, worries, and more worries.  Maybe Jimmy Lai in jail is a simple problem, easily handled by court appointed Party loyalists. Not so with auto makers.

    Is there a way forward? A way out?  Please send a text message to Peiping with a suggestion, asap.

China needs help, fast. 

Rus Economic Summit in Moskva

     So, Mad Vlad is hosting a summit gathering in Moskva where he chants the mantra: "We are your friend. The West is not your friend. The west stole your resources by taking more and more. We Rus will partner with any and all African countries in equal partnership(s) so all will prosper.

     This from a dictator who has tried and failed to subdue his next door neighbor-Ukraine, where the Rus Army has been stalled for years, unable to advance. All the Rus Army can due is offer the soldiers more dead.

     How about the Central African Republic, the former French colony. The Rus proxy-the Wagner Group, has been providing security in the mineral extraction processes, namely gold and diamonds. The Rus generously take only half while protecting miners, and government operations. They are protecting the workers from rebels who remain a force in C.A.R.

     So, other countries know about the C.A.R. situation. Would one expect the relations in other copuntries to be similar or better. Hmmmm . Maybe things have changed since the Kremlin started the war down south. Maybe the Russyan Army is ready to retire from the field and give Ukraine back to the Ukrainians. Ha, who would believe such a fantasy? sTrump?

Milwaukee Brewers Win the World Series

    A first in major league baseball: the Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 of 2026 World Series in Florida.  The young pitcher for the Brewers, Misirowski was the winning pitcher, going 5 1/3 innings before an injury forced him to the dugout. The relievers set the batters down allowing only 2 more hits and one run, losing 4-1.

     While not on their home park, the team members celebrated the historic win appropriately in Florida. MLB CEO gave the trophy to team own Anastasio who thanked all the players who made it possible with a MLB leading 103 win season.  Brewer catcher, William Contreras, was the MVP.

    The Team will return to Milwaukee where local fans will honor their victory with a parade and a town party.

Bravo Brewers
