Davos, Switzerland: 21 January 2024 The New York Times is reporting that the business titans at the World Economic Forum are privately predicting a Trump win in November. In fact there is a “consensus”. But they don’t want to say anything publicly. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/19/business/dealbook/davos-trump-biden-election.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare This bashfulness to going on the public record about the voting intentions of Americans that CEOs only speak to on the reception at private jet terminals is probably prudent. Better to focus on areas where a CEO’s…

Washington July 13, 2023 Mitch McConnell and other leading Republicans have a spring in their step. Despite the summer heat. Rumours of a McConnell smile were doing the rounds. The wellspring of this holiday joy is polls showing that 20% of Democrats prefer Robert F Kennedy Jr over Joe Biden. Republican leaders believe that if a large rump of the college educated liberal elite prefer a vaccine sceptic who argues that chemicals cause gender dysphoria over Joe Biden, then Donald…

Washington: January 15, 2023 At an age when remembering where you left the keys to your Corvette is an achievement, the discovery by Biden of Top Secret memos from 2016 has given new hope that items lost by earlier Presidents may still be found. Unfortunately, real progress has been slow. A spokesman for George W Bush said that there was still no sign of any Weapons of Mass Destruction. And the Obama Library confirmed that the Red Line was still…

Washington, Sydney and Mumbai: January 3, 2023 The first international game of cricket was played between the United States and Canada in 1844. After 180 years, there is now optimism that the United States is ready to rejoin international test cricket. According to the International Cricket Council, the traditional view was that Americans were unwilling to follow a 5 day event of interminable tedium with only a low chance of a result. However, the breathless media coverage of repeated counts…

Washington: February 8, 2022 The White House, the Kremlin and No 10 Downing Street announced the end of the standoff in the Ukraine.

To:46 From:44 As you asked, I have called up all my old West Wing Staff. And even the former Cabinet members. But no luck I’m afraid. It seems that no one can remember there ever being an exit plan for Afghanistan. On climate, I am pretty sure there is a great speech somewhere – although I probably forgot to bring it back from Paris in 2015. And you will have to ask 45 about what happened to the White House’s…

DelAware Farm

Farmer Joe had tried for forty years to buy Swamp Farm. And he had been thrilled as he had hammered the new DelAware Farm sign at the front gate. But it was now eight months since the disputed auction. And six months since Pig Trump had tried to burn down the White Barn.
