Confounding Convolutions: 

 

 

I look out towards the calming sea. 

Bedecked by constant tumbling scree. 

And know that despite worlds ills. 

Its angst in hearts and mind it fills 

In the end the sea rolls on and on, 

And angry men will all be gone. 

 

Jami Dimon is one of the smartest guys around and even he is betwixt over a two-faced economy – one saying consumers are spending and there are myriad openings for jobs, and the other that says inflation will kill us if the Fed rate hikes don’t do it first. 

 

BTW, the shortage of jobs will only tend to add to inflation as workers in short supply demand higher wages to work. 

 

Did you hear about the mathematician who’s afraid of negative numbers? He will stop at nothing to avoid them. 

 

The Question: 

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? 

 

The Headlines: 

--Markest Open Higher; Fed Rate Hike Announcement Will Govern Where It Goes Later Today. 

--Putin Implies Nukes Are Still On the table If He Is Pushed Into A Corner; Putin Authorizes call Up Of Army Reserves Which Could Be As High As 300,000 New Troops 

--Women In Iran Burn Headscarves.  

--A Dozen On US Suspected Terrorist List Nabbed At Southern Boarder Crossing Roundup.

Without question, Progressives in government learned about how the gov can control people's lives from the Covid mandates et. al. And you can be sure they have tucked away this knowledge for later attempted use to accomplish their own ends such as with Climate Change authoritarianism for starters. Beware of the seeds of panic being sown.’ 

 

Yikes, the public relations people are at it again. And their new favorite word is “Historic” Now it is the centerpiece of the promotion for the movie “Bros”. Historic is getting Putin out of office.  

 

Why did Beethoven get rid of his chickens? All they said was “Bach, Bach, Bach…” 

 

The Answer: 

A rhetorical question is one that’s asked in order to make a point but doesn’t require an answer. Following that logic, this rhetorical joke doesn’t have an answer either. 

 

I know – Boo! Hiss! Bring on the hook. 

 

See you tomorrow!
