MUELLER HEARING -- MICHAEL WILSON'S THOUGHTS

Once again Michael Wilson's take on the Mueller hearing before the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees yesterday makes compelling reading for those who are serious thinkers and want truth. Sadly, and maddeningly, not everyone wants truth. 
MICHAEL WILSON
“The crusade to overturn the 2016 presidential election, thwart the will of the American people, and to punish Donald Trump for his successful performance against the inept Hillary Clinton and her allies may end with neither a bang nor a whimper, but with a series of mumbles and stumbles from a man who had been given the status of a champion by Trump's enemies but who showed himself to be dozy and ill- prepared when he had a chance to perform for his team. Whatever Robert Mueller's deeds may have been in the Vietnam War, or decades ago in civilian government service, his performance showed that his armor was rusted so badly to render him no more effective than the Tin Woodman prior to Dorothy's arrival to apply oil. The battery in his light saber is nearly depleted. His performance before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees called into serious question not just whether he had authored the report that bears his name on the banner, but also whether he had even read the tome himself. This puts the apparently unregulated and unsupervised authorship in the pens of a group of rabidly biased Clintonistas, not the man who was presented as a paragon of probity and the champion of honest treatment and even handed usage.
Saul Alinsky says in "Rules for Radicals" that ridicule is one of the most effective weapons in the fight against the "haves." It is also a two-edged sword, which will slice and dice those who would overturn the elected government by any means possible, as well as the powers that be. Mueller's performance, even by the admission of many of the more perceptive anti-Trumpers, was a disaster that will open the door to a spate of memes and snide comments that will derail a movement eminently deserving of being derailed. Perhaps now the House of Representatives will stop wasting time and money on an attempted lynching and get on with their delegated tasks of dealing with the needs of the nation and its citizens.”

AMERICAN AIRLINES -- MORE ABOUT UNIONS AND CH 11

I apologize for the structure of the post below, with no segmentation, but the system refuses to do it my way. To my post yesterday re AMR's chapter 11 filing relating my experiences over many years flying with AA, an AA pilot wrote a thoughtful comment that caused me to think a bit more about the precursors to conditions of their bankruptcy. Frankly, I have what is perhaps too much experience with trade unions and their excesses, but know less about others such as the airlines. After learning more about the negotiations of AA with their unions, I now think it's justifiable to post the comments below. I've seen too many industries destroyed by union excesses coupled with management incompetence in caving to excess demands. Start with coal (dead for many years), steel, textiles, shoes, electronics manufacturing, and more.  The Detroit 3 (once the big 3) deserves special mention. As their costs rose to $72/hour (fully loaded) and costs in the southern industry w

LEFTIST MIND-SET OF TODAY -- REFLEXIVE, THOUGHTLESS SUPPORT FOR THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

"Trying to persuade a prejudiced mind is as Sisyphean as trying to open a closed mind is Quixotic." Mann, May 2012 In a blog post herein below on May 1, 2013, I outlined what we who manage people and enterprises know as absolutes about performances of people who are put into management and supervisory positions for which they haven't requisite qualifications. For those who have progressed through several jobs to their level of incompetence, this is known as the Peter Principle as defined by Laurence J. Peter. In all likelihood, all who have managed people for any length of time have seen this principle played out. While Peter's observation applies to progression through multiple job levels, if a person is put into any job for which he is unqualified, the concept is also valid. Elective political positions is where I see this most often played out. The election of Barack Obama as President of the United States is the most significant example of this in my lif

ETHANOL -- The worst mandate ever gets even worse

When politicians get control of science and the inept or dishonest scientists, nothing good comes of it. There are many examples -- global warming (aka climate change) is the most prominent. The ethanol mandate, although a part of the climate change mania, stands on its own as arguably the most ridiculous mandate of all time. President Jimmy Carter, who was influenced by a misguided college professor, can be charged with the mistake of promulgating the ethanol mandate.  Of course, Al Gore is the politician who played the global warming issue like a drum and has benefited financially from it. Use of ethanol in motor fuel is not a net positive either in costs or in impact on the environment.... enormous hype to the contrary notwithstanding. Ethanol does not have the positive effect on the environment as touted. It has only about 60% of the specific energy of petroleum fuel, which begs use of more fuel to achieve the same energy as petroleum fuel. And, so it does. I have my own experie
