Muh Ridgeline!
Our county has a hole but doesn't line up with anything.
Elder isn't on the fold.
Key is to get Newsom out and catch the cheaters cheating.
Would have also voted for Grenell but…
All eyes on CA 9/14.
You should be able to drop off at the County Center and not go through the mail.
Ah, my neck of the woods then…
Peak Retail Season: Let The Chaos Commence
Freight markets have entered their second year of extreme dislocation, brought on by record consumer spending and a transportation network that doesn’t have the labor or equipment to fill the need.
A lack of openings on ocean sailing schedules, ships waiting longer to berth at the ports and delays unloading the freight once it has landed are some of the front-end issues facing the transportation industry. Once freight is routed inland, a chicken-and-egg scenario is playing out between container/chassis scarcity and slow rail service, with each causing further detriment to the other.
Add in labor headwinds throughout all phases of the supply chain, notably difficulties finding truck drivers and warehouse workers, and the storm for freight delivery is near perfect.
Inventory pull forward pushing inbound containers to new highs
The National Retail Federation said earlier this month inbound twenty-foot equivalent units would again break a recently established monthly record. The group is calling for August TEUs to increase 12.6% year-over-year at the nation’s largest retail container ports to 2.37 million, which would surpass the record just set in May.
“August is the beginning of the ‘peak season,’ when retailers stock up on holiday merchandise each year,” the report stated. “Many retailers are moving up their shipments this year as part of their risk-mitigation strategies to ensure that sufficient inventory will be available during the holidays.”
The NRF expects full-year 2021 TEUs of 25.9 million, 17.5% higher year-over-year and a new record. Monthly volumes are expected to remain above the 2 million-unit level for the rest of the year, continuously stepping lower from the August prediction to 2.02 million by December.
However, loaded imports came in lower than expected in July at the Port of Los Angeles due to congestion. Loaded inbound TEUs of 469,361 were light of the port’s expectation of 516,000. The port’s executive director, Gene Seroka, pointed to warehouses filled beyond capacity, maxed out rail yards and difficulties finding chassis and containers as the culprits for the shortfall.
“Both anchorage and dwell times are trending in the wrong direction,” Seroka said. “Seventy-five percent of ships stopped at anchor in July [instead of heading to berth], up from 50% in June. Early data for August shows that 90% of arriving vessels are headed straight to the parking lot.”

New super variant named “Covid-22” could be more dangerous than Delta strain: Expert
An expert has warned that a new variant dubbed “Covid-22” could be more lethal than the world-dominating Delta.
Professor Doctor Sai Reddy of the federal technology institute ETH Zurich, an immunologist, believes that combination of existing strains could result in a new and more dangerous phase of the pandemic.
“It is very likely that a new variant will emerge and that we will no longer be able to rely on vaccinations alone,” immunologist Sai Reddy said.
Prof Reddy told the German newspaper Blick that Delta, dubbed COVID-21, was the most contagious variant of all.
He cited coronavirus variants from South Africa (Beta) and Brazil (Gamma) that have mutated, allowing them to evade antibodies to some extent. Delta, on the other hand, is far more contagious but has yet to develop such mutations.
“If Beta or Gamma becomes more contagious, or if Delta develops mutations, then we could be talking about a new phase of the pandemic,” said Reddy. “This would become the big problem of the coming year. Covid-22 could be even worse than what we are experiencing now.”
Professor Doctor Sai Reddy noted that recent scientific findings show that the viral load of the Delta variant is so high that anyone who contracts it who is unvaccinated can become a “super-spreader.”
“Since children under 12 cannot be vaccinated, they represent a large group of potential super-spreaders,” said Reddy.
He noted that the Delta variant can avoid vaccinations due to its extremely high viral load.
“We need to counter this with a high level of antibodies, and that is exactly what a third booster dose of vaccine does,” he explained.

No Neutrality
Staying neutral is tantamount to submission.
There is no “neutrality” for American business. We either band together or get swept away by the woke tide.
The substance of political discourse today rarely revolves around particular matters of policy: instead, public political debate consists of delegitimizing the other side. You and everyone else is called a fascist and a racist if you hold a position contrary to the ruling class. As I said a few years ago, what was at stake in nearly every attack on Trump was “not a normal matter of policy but the legitimacy of the Trump presidency itself and its power to set policy.”
After five years of non-stop investigations, Trump, who will still likely be prosecuted if the opportunity arises, is banned from social media. The most powerful institutions in our nation, including the national security complex itself, are now busy delegitimizing his supporters. The phrase “American Taliban” was trending on Twitter as a name for Trump supporters even as Kabul was overrun. Figures like former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden, a retired US Air Force four-star general, publicly echo the sentiment.
But the United States of America is a big country. To treat half of the citizenry as if their opinion is illegitimate and get away with it requires two things: firm control of most major institutions, especially in leadership positions, and the continual expenditure of an enormous amount of political, cultural, and commercial capital.
By declaring total political war against everyday Americans years ago, the ruling class risked “the legitimacy of the administrative state itself.” Further, “the legitimacy of the old media as a whole” hung in the balance. This stage is now over. Perhaps at no time in our history has the government or the media been so distrusted.
Those who had not been paying close attention to politics until Trump, including many of the most intelligent and talented people in America who generally gravitate towards commercial enterprise in modern society, tend to think that there are “moderate” solutions to this divide. They are inclined to think that rather than engage in politics, they ought to remain neutral. But, as activists and radicals point out, this is itself a political position. In the present environment neutrality itself requires taking a controversial political stand.
Consider the matter in terms of nations: the reason a country remains neutral is to stay out of war. If you will be viciously attacked anyhow—if you will be attacked because you remain neutral—what do you gain by remaining neutral? In fact, by declaring neutrality you are losing the opportunity to fend off attack from a position of planned strength, and thereby the opportunity to win the war. The smartest move in today’s environment is bold opposition.
As my co-founder said in these pages recently:
You must reject woke demands, refuse to make even token gestures, and invest instead in relationships and partnerships with people and organizations who have likewise steeled themselves against the mob’s opprobrium. The sooner you make this decision, the less disruptive it will be: you’ll lose fewer employees and customers, have made fewer difficult-to-reverse organizational decisions, and done less to bend your brand and culture to fit the woke narrative.
You must oppose the movement that seeks to gain control over you. You can’t appease them without giving them that control. The good news is that most people do not agree with this radical movement, and at least half the nation is actively seeking to buy products and services from people who reject it.
Products and services are always sold based on a “way of life.” The path is open to advertising and marketing that presents a way of life that most people actually want—rather than the radical fantasies of political activists. Those who recognize this historic moment will realize historic gains. People are looking for products and services from businesses who don’t loudly signal that they hate them.
In business you are constantly told that by taking a stand opposed to the wokeness, you will lose customers. There is little evidence that this is the case—especially in the new environment we are now all operating within. Chick-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby are doing just fine. The problem for large businesses is not consumer behavior—the problem is that a combination of elite power and woke radicals can indeed damage you. And the larger your corporation is, the more that risk rises.
1/2
But Big Corporate is not the only game in town. Countless small and medium sized businesses are now without representation. They are being bullied into silence, beat down from every side. Their owners disagree with what is happening but feel powerless to stop it. The Chamber of Commerce no longer represents most businesses. Instead, it fêtes the most powerful ones.
The only way out is through. There are a variety of actions now needed if America is to push back against the rolling “woke” revolution, but they all depend upon organizing a new cultural and commercial movement that stands up and fights for the common interests of all those who oppose the increasing tide of totalitarianism. That’s why we created New Founding: to create a broad-based digital commonwealth that will protect and represent businesses and consumers alike. We have dedicated ourselves to the task of organizing and creating new networks of consumers and businesses.
If American businesses cannot band together to protect themselves and take a stand for our natural and constitutional rights against the unrelenting attacks of political radicals, the future of the American way of life is dark indeed.
Interested? Get in touch. Many are thinking along similar lines, but we need to organize as soon as possible if we are to succeed.
