The Market, Energy, And Political Page, Part 2, T+67 -- October 26, 2018

The Deep State: Let's see. In less than a week, "they" can capture the guy who apparently has been sending hoax mail bombs, but yet, two years later, with thousands of high-profile, high-paid lawyers, and the full weight of multiple government agencies, no smoking gun reported regarding Russian collu.......gotta go.

Good luck to all.

The Energizer bunny: Never sleeps and excels at multi-tasking despite his young age:

The president was probably 1) getting the briefing on the bomber, 2) reviewing the notes for his next meeting, and then ... 3) takes the time to tweet.

Spam: due to spam, the "comments" section has been turned off. I plan to turn "comments" capability back on next week.

The Manchin-Collins defense: from CNN --

Senator Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, and Senator Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, said they believed Ford when she said she had been sexually assaulted but that they didn't think there was corroboration to prove it was Kavanaugh. 

That will likely be the MbS defense: the Saudis will admit that the Khashoggi murder was premeditated but they will argue there is not enough evidence to prove the Crown Prince was involved. Good. That's cleared up.

If one can ignore four really "bad" things about this film, it's a great film:
