Pragmatically Distributed

In 2016 Trump defeated the forces of evil by crushing the loathsome, the downright villainous; absolutely diabolical international crime boss, Hillary Guccifer Rodham.

The platform Trump ran on to bring down Hillary is known well enough.

Trump ran against Hillary on an uplifting message of humanism, welcoming refugees, globalism, feminism, Buddhism, veganism, healing the nation’s racial tensions with waves of positive psychic energy, and, above all, universal love.

The promises of 2016 have all been promises kept.

But in 2020, Trump will win by fighting just a bit dirty.

With a little roughhousing now in order, Trump will turn to wedge issues to drive Rust Belt proles from Biden.

And with the secret Progressive electoral vulnerability now identified, we can assess one of the best Hamiltonian class warfare topics for Trump to take advantage of.

That issue is the fact Biden’s white collar, Green Corporatist buddies are working against the interests of the blue collar Democrat class by continuing their decades-long policy of helping Beijing deindustrialize the Rust Belt.

Metternich, Volume IV page 54

March 23, 1823 . — Now, to recognise a Government one must know first of all know what it is; and to enter into negotiations with it one must have recognised it. It is, therefore, necessary that we should know first of all what the Government will be.

 

Pragmatically Distributed has gone to great lengths to properly define terms in an era when accurate classifications goes well against the grain of contemporary “experts” who otherwise believe it is a “scientific fact” that Australian emus are the 57,101st “gender”.

Illusions play well elsewhere, but not here.

Like Metternich, we study in detail what something truly is because whatever something, anything, happens to be directly relates to how it functions.

And functions reveal an object’s strengths and weaknesses.

Unfortunately, this problem is not isolated to Progressives.

A shame because the Progressive movement has a secret electoral vulnerability that is recognized once Progressivism is defined correctly.

I’m still not quite sure if Biden can reach the convention floor given the obvious deterioration of his mental capacities – capacities already never impressive in their capabilities to anyone except Joe Biden.

But for now let’s suppose his doctors can continue to keep him barely functional until August.

One of Biden’s few advantages in the election is that he can’t be easily labeled an extremist.

Biden is a vintage 1970s Democrat; always more of an elected lobbyist on the hunt (or Hunter) for dirty money, getting “hands on” with secretaries, and perks, than a hardcore ideologue. Even Biden’s home of Delaware itself resembles a corporate tax haven more than a state.

Given that economic cycles are driven by demand, preliminary economic indicators have shown a snap back from the coronavirus shutdown because the shutdowns in spring postponed demand rather than end demand.

From this it follows that the way to maximize economic performance before the election is to move forward demand expectations (which are now moderate, but increasing) by forcing the states to reopen with an executive order putting all states not on phase 3 into phase 3, except for nursing homes, medical facilities, the elderly and those with preexisting conditions.

Ukraine badly needs to stop spending money on bumbling Democratic and Republican spindoctors like Hunter Biden.

None are worth a dime because they never learn from the simplest political lessons.  And if Ukrainians want further proof of this in order to justify cancelling those direct deposits, Kiev should look no further than Pelosi’s Democratic Caucus which is willfully forgetting the simplest political lesson of the Bill Clinton Presidency: House impeachment proceedings that fall short of the required two-thirds support in the Senate are a waste of time and resources.

The US Navy had better not allow that UAE tanker – which disappeared under extremely suspicious circumstances – to approach any ports, other cargo ships, warships, oil terminals, or military bases in the Gulf before the Navy intercepts and searches every last inch of it for signs of Iranian sabotage.

The most likely types of mischief Iran could cause with that tanker are –

1. Convert the ship into a gigantic, floating suicide bomber by planting explosives onboard and then sailing it (perhaps with Iranian naval personnel posing as the original crew members) towards a desired target.
2. Smuggle terrorists onboard who will launch onshore attacks later on.
3. Spike the tanker’s oil cargo with an industrial chemical agent.

 

If Iran places explosives onboard, docks the ship at a Gulf Arab port, or terminal, or other target, and then detonates those bombs, the following explosion would destroy any oil tankers nearby, blast docking machinery to the Moon, and knock out any surrounding port and energy infrastructure within the blast radius for at least a year.

They could also hide terrorists aboard for onshore attacks; although this is less likely since onshore terrorism against the Gulf Arabs would not cause oil prices to spike like the other two possibilities.

And were the tanker’s oil spiked with some sort of corrosive chemical agent, and then blended at a Gulf Arab refinery with oil from barrels carried by different tankers, the tainted oil from the UAE tanker could render unusable the oil from non-tainted barrels.

Potentially, depending on the exact blending process and particular chemicals used, this could sabotage tens of millions of barrels of oil and no one may realize the damage until this unusable oil has already been shipped to refineries across the industrialized world.

I can’t help but mention that I also have a history of getting personnel policy right.

From last December –

Fire Mattis

Trumpian foreign policy is becoming ever more coherent after he wisely applied the Condor Principle to Saudi Arabia.  To make it still more coherent, Trump should fire Mattis and replace with another former, high-ranking, military commander.  Mattis seems more concerned with acting as a contemptuous “adult” check on Trump than as a contributor to Trump’s foreign agenda.  If Mattis doesn’t take Trump seriously then Trump would be better served by another former military commander as Defense Secretary who will give Trump advice intended to assist the President, not scold him.

 

Department of Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta, is holding up labor regulation rollbacks that would benefit the economy.

One of the many regulations that he was supposed to reverse, but is deliberately holding up in unnecessary paperwork, is an Obama era rule that is currently making it much more difficult for 401K owners to contact and conduct business with their financial representatives.

Trump should fire Acosta’s worthless ass today.

As usual, I called it first –

The first piece of evidence leading me to this conclusion is the obviousness of Biden’s senility whenever he is at the podium. From stuttering during his campaign kickoff to confusing Theresa May with Margaret Thatcher, old age and a pointless life have taken a man who was, at his peak, an unimpressive DC lounge lizard and turned him into a senile DC lounge lizard.

And here –

Biden – Sounds like a great idea only because of name recognition. But at some point he will have to speak. When Biden does he will remind everyone why he fell under the weight of a thousand gaffes in several Democratic primary contests decades ago. He also has sexual harassment accusations hidden in his closet.

 

Perhaps Joe will blame his latest misstatements on one too many mint juleps.

The title assumes the Tories aren’t stupid enough to choose a Remain partisan for Prime Minister.

That’s a mighty big assumption considering they were not only fool enough to install the hapless Theresa May in the first place, but were fool enough to endure three excruciating years with her at the helm before, at last, pulling her off life support.

But let’s entertain the hypothetical in the title anyway.

Suppose they have just barely enough presence of mind to select a Prime Minister in favor of Leave.

What, then, are the best options for Farage?

Aside from occasional jabs and preliminary A/B testing, Trump should preserve heavier attacks against the 2nd tier for late this year or early next because he’s going to be very happy if either of the most likely 2nd tier candidates, Warren and Harris, get the Dem nomination. No need to short circuit them before they get a chance to take the lead while Biden is either taking his current lead for granted or gotten lost in his closet, and as both Senators inch closer to overtaking Sanders for second place.
