Is the stock market collapse that some have predicted for so long finally here? I have no idea. I do have one question. If the Fed lowers interest rates, won’t that increase inflation? I sold many of my individual stocks a while ago, but still have mutual funds that will take a big hit if there’s no rebound.
Immigration laws need reform, but rioting is never good. There’s been no info on the religion of the teenage perpetrator.
Pelosi has stated that Biden belongs on Mount Rushmore. In a twisted way this is true, as he has done more to advance socialism than any politician before him — at least those behind the scenes have.

Good news on the political front, headline from nypost.com: “NY clerk accused of swiping $1M from village over 19 years forced to give up pension in first-of-its-kind decision.” May this become common practice, although I doubt it would be even a blip for taxpayers.

It may be the last of the heat for a while, but rain is a possibility for the next several days. My thanks to the gentleman who bought a Russian DVD, and to the young man on a mechanized scooter who purchased five entries in the Scarlet and Ivy kids’ series by Sophie Cleverly; and to whomever rated By the Numbers by yours truly five stars at Amazon.
