Idle rambling on a Sunday afternoon while watching a golf tournament that won't make it to the finish line before sunset tonight. The fourth round will have to be extended to Monday morning. Later: Phil won his fifth ATT pro-am; won this tournament by an easy 3 strokes; he was two or three strokes behind the leader when the fourth round began. Good for him.
We all know that President Trump made "the wall" a huge piece of his presidential campaign, but for a year or so after his election I don't recall hearing or reading much about the issue. In fact, it seems I forgot all about that campaign pledge.
It is possible that after losing the US House, President Trump realized he needed to get back to his base, and the most visible (?) plank in his campaign that he had not yet addressed was the wall. Maybe that's why he made the wall an issue. But it seems that from that point on things seemed to go a bit south (no pun intended): his approval ratings tanked; the stock market fell; the partial government shutdown transpired.
It seems like a lot of political capital was wasted.
Again, smarter people than I will suggest that the reason Trump began campaigning for the wall was most likely due to the GOP loss of the US House.
Presidents are change agents. Their horizon is thirty years. Yes, they have short term problems to address, but at the end of the day, they are looking thirty years out.
There is no question that there are tens of thousands of migrants on the move toward our southern border. Everyone knows that. It's my understanding that most of them are coming from Guatemala and other countries south of Mexico. The caravans are not originating in Mexico. That is not to say the majority of illegal crossings are not Mexican in origin but right now it appears that the failed nations south of the (Mexican) border are driving the new caravans, some of which are rumored to be quite huge.
Failed nations.
What if Mexico were to implode? It now looks like Mexico could very easily follow the road to Venezuela.
Mexico "failing" is a national security issue for the United States. Under the Obama administration, the international briefings would have included the chance of Mexico "failing." At the time, the probability of Mexico going the way of Venezuela was probably rated less than 5% by the US intelligence community, and knowing how well the president knew foreign affairs, he probably felt the likelihood of Mexico imploding under his watch was even less than that, more likely close to 0%.
All US presidents since the 1980s have well understood that Mexico's very survival is tied to the very survival of its oil program. If Pemex fails, Mexico fails.
Did anyone ten years ago think that Pemex could fail? Did anyone ten years ago think Venezuela could fail? US refineries along the gulf coast are optimized for heavy oil. The oil companies need a secure source for heavy oil. Enter stage right: the Keystone XL. The US oil companies knew that Mexico and South America were weak links in the heavy oil supply chain.
Venezuela has failed.
Now it looks like Pemex is about to fail.
Link here.
President Obama probably felt that the likelihood of Mexico imploding under his watch was 0%. President Trump knows the likelihood, as they say in physics and math, is non-trivial. Non-trivial means a greater than 0% chance that Pemex will fail, and will take Mexico down with it.
My hunch is that Trump figured this out when the leftist Lopez Obrador was elected president of Mexico. And that's about the time President Trump started talking about the wall again.

Potpourri -- February 10, 2019
Wealth concentration. Link here. Also archived.
Riparian, a "Bakken word." From the weekend edition of The Wall Street Journal this weekend:
Speaking of "new" words: see "gaslighting" below.
Bird-watching: record number of birds on the patio yesterday eating the bread and bird seed Sophia and I put out for them:
Fake weather? This can't be happening with AGW:
Reality sucks. From Mark Perry this past week. Even Howard Schultz wasn't this dumb. He only went as far as "bathrooms for all."
Meta-data, Saikat Chakrabarti is Occasional-Cortex' advisor on global warming, economic wealth. Some in the media are suggesting that Occasional-Cortex is "gaslighting" us.
Amazon re-considers. Headlines suggest Jeff Bezos is reconsidering his decision to move half has second new Amazon headquarters to Long Island City, Long Island, New York. Considering all his current problems, I doubt he wants to add Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio to the list of those who "hate" him and/or Amazon. But on such matters I am often wrong.
Gas lights in Great Britain: quick! What raw product was the preferred product for "manufactured gas" used for lighting London in the 19th, and probably early 20th centuries?
Global warming, again. A strong advocate of controlling "human-made CO2 emissions", Amy Klobuchar announces her run for presidency during a frigid snowstorm.
109 East Palace: Robert Oppenheimer and the Secret City of Los Alamos, Jennet Conant, c. 2005.
Years later, Robert Oppenheimer lost his security clearance. Edward Teller testified against him.
From page 107:
From wiki: Wernher von Braun summed up his opinion about the matter with a quip to a Congressional committee: "In England, Oppenheimer would have been knighted."

Bird-watching: record number of birds on the patio yesterday eating the bread and bird seed Sophia and I put out for them:
- two male blue jays (seldom see both of them show up at the same time)
- three dark-eyed juncos
- one male, one female, and one juvenile cardinal (at various times, not altogether at same time)
- a raven
- two mourning doves
- one squirrel shows up
- they all seem to take turns
- the blue jays are the most skittish
- the squirrel's tail is relaxed except when the blue jay(s) show(s) up and then the squirrel's tail is laying/lying stiffly up its back
- the two slices of bread always disappear fairly quickly
- the seed seems to last all day, allowing birds to come back later in the day for a snack

Nine years after introducing pay-what-you-can restaurants to several U.S. cities, Panera Bread is admitting defeat and closing down its last remaining non-profit Panera Cares location.
At its peak, Panera Cares operated five locations, including ones in Dearborn, Michigan; Portland, Oregon; Boston, and Chicago.
Each restaurant was designed to sustain itself, but the restaurants weren’t financially viable. The Portland-based Panera Cares was reportedly only recouping between 60 and 70 percent of its total costs.
The losses were attributed students who “mobbed” the restaurant and ate without paying, as well as homeless patrons who visited the restaurant for every meal of the week. The location eventually limited the homeless to “a few meals a week.”Britain's climate change scandal, all gummed up, or should we say, "gummer and gummer"? Reported earlier on the blog. Bottom line:
The chairman of the Climate Change Committee, Lord Deben (John Selwyn Gummer), admits to having received payments of more than £600,000, mainly from firms involved in renewable energy and electric cars. [See wealth concentration link above. The British lords have done very, very well. Now we know why.]Occasional-Cortez doubles down on "free money" for people "unwilling to work." From ZeroHedge.

109 East Palace: Robert Oppenheimer and the Secret City of Los Alamos, Jennet Conant, c. 2005.
Years later, Robert Oppenheimer lost his security clearance. Edward Teller testified against him.
From page 107:
I.I. Rabi also advised Oppenheimer that, saddled with all the duties of being scientific director, he could not also be responsible for heading the Theoretical Division. Rabi proposed Hans Bethe for the job, and Oppie agreed. When Teller learned that Oppenheimer had made Bethe head of the T Division, and Serber his group leader, he was furious, Oppenheimer had known full well that Teller would feel snubbed, but his primary responsibility was to keep everyone on track and the work progressing as quickly as possible. Teller persisted in talking about his own ideas and introducing obstacles in an effort to control the project and move it in a different direction.It is interesting to read that bit of foreshadowing knowing what would play out about ten years later.
From wiki: Wernher von Braun summed up his opinion about the matter with a quip to a Congressional committee: "In England, Oppenheimer would have been knighted."

Comments:
- these are some big wells; much, much bigger than the wells from even two years ago
- as big as they are, they are not record setting; they are pretty much the norm in Tier 1
- it is interesting that many re-fracked wells are showing similar results; and many re-fracked wells, it seems, are being re-fracked with less sand than currently newly fracked wells

The Daily Note
Day 39 -- Day 46: the Green New Deal, mainstream Dems can't step away fast enough; AOC says it was a GOP "dirty trick"
Day 23 - 38: open border negotiations, on-going
Day 1 -- Day 22: Pelosi owns the US House; 35 days of partial government shutdown
Day 1 -- Day 22: Pelosi owns the US House; 35 days of partial government shutdown
Smollet:
Trump:
February 17, 2019, T+46: worse start for any Black History Month I can recall -- starting with blackface racism by governor, attorney general in Virginia; and Virginia's African-American lieutenant governor named in sexual assault. Now we have African-American actor Smollett fabricating story of being beaten by MAGA, white supremacists; every media outlet and Democratic political leaders at the national level joining in the chorus to blame MAGA, white supremacists, only to find out that Smollett was lying; hired two "Nigerian brothers" to beat him up; then filed a false police report. Headline: grand jury? Could face three years in prison. My hunch: the case is dropped, and Smollett shows up on Oprah Winfrey to begin his rehabilitation. A year from now the case will be forgotten and Trump will still be "the story."
February 16, 2019, T+45: quiet.
February 15, 2019, T+44: President Trump signs funding bill to prevent partial government shutdown; declares national emergency on southern border.
February 14, 2019, T+43: day 20 of open border negotiations and amnesty. Looks like Schelosi will send President Trump a valentine care with $1.5 billion to continue building the wall.
February 13, 2019, T+42: day 19 of open border negotiations and amnesty.
February 12, 2019, T+41: day 18 of open border negotiations and amnesty. My hunch is that no one will stand in line to vote for Joe Biden. Turnout for Joe Biden will be a record low. Turnout for Trump will be high, maybe not as high as the number who voted for Trump when he ran against Hillary, but the lower turnout will be Biden's problem, not Trump's. Link here. This is why some folks want "virtual voting" -- vote on apps, vote by phone. Those who don't want to stand in line can simply phone it in.
February 11, 2019, T+40, day 17 of open border negotiations and amnesty. The tea leaves suggest negotiations have broken down. The 21-day deadline: Thursday, February 15, midnight.
February 10, 2019, T+39, day 16 of open border negotiations and amnesty. Pocahontas officially enters the race; wants to be commander in chief; is first Native American to run for president of the United States (need to fact check). It is important to archive Occasional-Cortex' socialist program. It will gradually fade away and I don't want our granddaughters to miss this:
- ban affordable energy (already happening)
- eliminate nuclear energy (very likely to happen)
- eliminate 99% of cars
- gut and rebuild every building in America
- eliminate air travel (1,500 global --mostly American -- billionaires won't go along with this)
- a government-guaranteed job even for those "unwilling to work" -- bizarre to say the least
- free education for life
- a salubrious diet; to fix grocery stores in the US
- a house for every American citizen (despite the fact that a sizable proportion of Americans don't want their own home)
- free money (already being tried in at least one city in California)
- bonus insanity: ban on meat
