THE GLOBAL RECESSION IS INEVITABLE IN THAT THE SOONEST THEY CAN CLEAR THE STRAIT IN JANUARY 2027
The experts are saying the earliest the Strait can be cleared is January 2027, and the longer it remains blocked the longer it will take to restore the global economy.
The loss of fertilizer is already impacting the global economy. US farmers are estimating the cost of corn to climb fast. I am not going to pay 97 cents for one ear of corn. Not only will the price of corn impact the price of food, but it will also impact the price of gasoline.
Murphey's has a separate pump for gas with corn ethanol. Before the crisis it was already a lot costlier.
Trump being Trump called on countries impacted by the closure of the Strait to buy US crude. The US does not need foreign crude. But when you tell others to start buying US crude the price of US crude will go up.
JFK is reporting about a 20% reduction in jet fuel usage. Some airlines like Air Canada have stop flights to JFK. Other airlines are consolidating planes to save jet fuel. I am nervous the flight I am about to take to JFK, will be adjusted in Dallas, or on my return trip.
Short hops such as Brownsville to Houston may be cancelled. It is a lot costlier to fly the short hops and flights are already being reduced around the country for these short hops. My experience is the Brownsville's flights are pretty full, so maybe we will be safe.
The impact of the closed Strait will reverberate throughout the world economy. Transporting goods and services will go up.
If the experts are correct, and Trump can get the Strait open this week, it will not be until January 2027 before traffic is back to normal. This means a Global recession will be in place during the November 2026 elections.
I am already studying how the recession will impact my investments. As you know I do not favor panic selling. I always hold and the stocks recover. But now I have time to identify which investments will be minimally impacted by the global recession. If you have a good investment advisor, they are doing the same.
SECRET SERVICE MISSED THE LESSON ON RFK ASSASSINATION
MY TWO TAKE AWAYS
UPDATE ON ALLEGED GUNMAN
He is intelligent. This is even more concerning. He graduated Cal-State with a masters.
They have found a manifesto he allegedly sent his family. Whether the family reported it to authorities remains under investigation.
First anyone who is not concerned on yet another attack on the President, is not a patriot. It serves no one when our President is a possible target of assassination. It should concern all of us equally. The target of the alleged assassin remains unknown, but it is not a stretch the President was in harm's way.
TAKE AWAY ONE: THE RFK ASSASSINATION
A gunman was allowed into the Ambassador hotel with a gun. RFK was a presidential candidate at the time. This lack of excellence speaks to the first attempt on Trump.
The takeaway is, according to the secret service you can register at a hotel where the President will be a guest, and bring a rifle, handgun and knives into the hotel. At this point this is the secret services narrative which explains how the alleged assassin was able to bypass the first line of protection. The hotel has yet to confirm the man was actually a guest at the hotel.
UPDATE ON HOTEL: They have confirmed he was on the 10th floor, and his room has been searched.
The first take away is even more concerning when you consider my second take away.
TAKE AWAY TWO: In all three assassination attempts we are dealing with a lone wolf. Trump came close to being assassinated by the first assassin.
We have individual lone wolf's getting too close to the president. The lack of proper vetting of hotel guests makes this even more concerning.
Be careful what you wish. If you think ignoring this problem is okay because it is Trump, then you are not concerned if your candidate becomes president that they may face the same problem.

AFTER INTENSE RESEARCH I HAD NO PROBLEM VOTING FOR SHARIFF GONNELLA
David Garcia has the worst of the worst of establishment politicos pushing for him. Why? We need new blood who will owe nothing to the establishment.
I do not know who is responsible for the vile campaign against Gonnella, but Najera and Garcia's failure to denounce it makes them complicit.
I do not know how people live with so much hate in their heart, but they are unfit for elective office.
Based on my research I do believe Shariff Gonnella will bring the best vision to the Port.
AS TO THE OTHER ELECTIONS
I voted against all incumbents. Both TSC and the Port get a hard "F" on preparing Brownsville and Cameron County for all the jobs coming to SpaceX and the Port.
I would always tell people at the gym, the inside is more important than the outside. You can be overweight and have a healthy heart and be skinny and on the verge of a heart attack.
From age 16, until my mid-50's, I was a gym rat. I took care of my heart. This is key. At age 50 I benched 315 lbs. I was two hours a day on the treadmill. My diet has always been healthy. Nearly everything in my home is fresh. I make all my own sauces. People love my red pepper sauce which I use is many dishes. Garlic and olive oil are in every meal.
It remains a myth held by far too many doctors that with diet and exercise you can lose weight. When I defy doctors to produce any such study, they always go silent.
My ultrasound showed no meaningful blockage which can cause a heart attack. I am 100 lbs. overweight. My mega dosage of insulin has caused me to gain 20 pounds since the 1st of the year. In the last 13 days I have gain 10 lbs. The doctor knows at my dosage of insulin, I will gain weight. My blood sugar on 140 units of insulin every A.M. remains where it was 20 months ago. I do not believe doctors understand the meaning of sever insulin resistance. It means I am resistant to insulin, and no amount of insulin will lower my blood sugar.
The purpose of my heart ultrasound was to measure my pulmonary hypertension numbers. They remain fine so my medicine will not be adjusted. But I remain at only 76 % lung capacity, so my doctor will continue to purser COPD.
Even though my heart is fine, if my lungs strain the heart, I can still have a heart attack.
My new order of business is to try and find lung exercises which will allow me to safely expand lung capacity
