The circus in Swampland continues. The Barr Tab is likely to hunt with investigations into the shenanigans that surrounded the opening of the probe into the Trump campaign by the national security establishment in 2016- or earlier.

It is grand fun, and some former senior officials are apparently running for the exits. I am not sure any of them are running for office, but these days it is easier to tell who isn’t campaigning than those who are.

The trade talks with China have sunk into the doldrums, though people are still talking. They may need this more than we do, but I suppose we will see over the next month or so.

The Iran tensions spiked lately, and the North Koreans seem to want some attention. French unrest continues and Venezuela continues Mr. Maduro’s free-fall. We will be concentrating on politics here, which I hope will not lead to inadvertent miscalculation.

There are a lot of balls in the air. I am wondering which ones will hit the floor first. Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here…..
