Bill Ross’ Post

Has the political landscape evolved over the past 30 years to a point where U.S. Vice Presidents can successfully run for and assume the presidency? Here are several historical instances to consider: 1. John Adams (1797–1801) - The first Vice President under George Washington, Adams ascended to the presidency following Washington's tenure. 2. Thomas Jefferson (1801–1809) - Serving as Vice President under John Adams, Jefferson subsequently was elected President. 3. Martin Van Buren (1837–1841) - He held the Vice Presidency under Andrew Jackson before securing the presidency himself. 4. Richard Nixon (1969–1974) - After an unsuccessful presidential bid post his Vice Presidency under Dwight D. Eisenhower, Nixon was later elected in 1968. 5. George H.W. Bush (1989–1993) - Vice President under Ronald Reagan, Bush was elected President in 1988. These examples underscore the longstanding pathway from the Vice Presidency to the Presidency, often aided by the increased visibility and experience offered by the Vice Presidential role. Has Kamala Harris demonstrated, during her tenure as Vice President, the capabilities necessary to serve as Commander in Chief and President of the United States?

Chart of the day: Ranking trust in US administrations. We rank the performance of all US administrations since that of Kennedy by the change in the level of trust of the public between the day they took office and the day they exited office. Note how the level of trust has been hovering at historical lows since Obama took office. Kennedy 0 points Johnson minus 10 points Nixon minus 8 points Ford minus 20 points Carter minus 3 points Reagan plus 12 points Bush 1 minus 8 points Clinton plus 20 points Bush 2 minus 20 points Obama minus 7 points Trump plus 5 points Biden minus 2 points .... so far The best administration was Clinton followed by Reagan followed by Trump. The worst administration was Bush 2 and Ford, followed by Nixon and Bush 1, followed by Obama. Regards, Andre Chelhot, CFA #society # trust #dalio

What Roles Do Beliefs Play in Society? #Beliefs #Values #Conation #CriminalJustice Who do you believe? President Biden's opponent says Biden is the worst president in history. His accuser says he's a criminal. This post states that the accuser is the worst president. Then there are the four indictments and 91 felony charges of the accuser. Is this a pot-kettle situation? People on both sides of this issue will use this news as confirmation of their beliefs. They'll rationalize the information as proof that it's the evil-doing of the other party. How will bias confirmation affect the readers? The voters? Beliefs, values, and mores affect every decision we make. Anomie is the decay of values and mores. How decadent (decay) have we become? Beliefs may reflect the decadence of a society. Is supporting a criminal for POTUS a measure of anomie and decadence? Maybe it's time for the RNC to move on from the candidate with a 28 point lead on his republican opponent. I'm reminded of Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot and his wife were warned to flee and not look back. Lot's wife hesitated. She looked back. What happened? She was turned into a pillar of salt. Evangelists and the RNC could take heed. Move on. Select someone else. Romney, Kinzinger. and Cheney are people who reflect more holsum, pro-social values. Choice is better than no choice. What are your beliefs about this? Will your vote be affected by your beliefs about what or who is right or wrong? To my point above: That's the power of the role your beliefs play in society.

Prime example here of the Democrats’ strategy of “credentials create credibility”. They believe, by simply granting someone the title of “historian” (based on their own made up criteria and process), that makes what they have to say in the realm of history true or accurate, same with scientists, doctors, etc. The time has come to throw out bs credentials and judge information based on ITS MERIT and not ITS SOURCE. If your doctor tells you that poisonous mushrooms are good for you, will you eat them? Or will you question the merit of the information? Take this approach to everything you see and here on the internet. If it doesn’t make sense, there’s a reason.

What do you do when the enemy is vanquished? Who do you do fight when the fight is won? Where do you go when all roads open up to you? This was the dilemma that faced Bill Clinton as he stepped up to the podium as President of the United States. Throughout living memory, the USA had been fighting the Soviets. It had provided them with a shadow to identify themselves against, a benchmark to compare themselves with, and a resolve to strive for better. Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush had all been able to position themselves against this spectre of evil. But with a stroke of a pen, poof, the USSR was signed out of existence on the 26th of December 1991. The USA had won, or at least avoided losing, but what did victory mean? Clinton was the first US President faced with the task of defining what the United States looked like in a post Cold War world, on the eve of a new century and millennium. How would he do it? I've analysed Clinton's 1993 Inauguration Speech to determine what new course he saw for America, and how well he signposted it.

Ronald Reagan was perhaps the most consequential president we’ve had since Richard Nixon. He represents the New Right coming to power and delineates the sixth party system, which we may only now be turning into a new one. But he is not merely his presidency or political ideology, which have made him almost deified in the eyes of many conservatives today. Much complicates his character and legacy. Indeed, Reagan had a long career before 1980, becoming what was then the oldest president, only recently surpassed by Trump and Biden. So, to better understand American history, let’s look at the biography of this vital figure to get a more complete picture of who Reagan was and what impact he had.

The S&P 500 index during the tenure of U.S. Presidents from John F. Kennedy to Joe Biden: Key points include the substantial growth during Clinton's presidency (+209.8%), significant increases under Reagan (+117.9%) and Obama (+181.1%), and the marked decrease during George W. Bush's tenure (-36.7%). The chart provides a comprehensive view of how the S&P 500 has reacted under various leaderships over the past six decades.

#economics #sustainability #NobelPrize Attitude matters to "feel" better off, as Reagan discovered in his own life with all its vicissitudes which included a divorce as was also in my case in 2010-'11, giving a job to himself all the way into the The White House. So did I in 2008 to transition out of my career civil service employment by 2010 as an analyst at Federal Reserve Board. Is government the problem, as Reagan said in 1980? Yes, in both governing the people and in your own personal space and life by causing my divorce in Washington, 18-1/2 years of marriage and two young kids later and taking away my companies, because the new president, a Democrat aspiring to be Ronald Reagan of the political left, Barack Obama, found them attractive to be transformational himself after he was prematurely awarded The Nobel Prize in 2009, one of which, Transformations, LLC, was valued at $500M in 2011. He still does not know what to do with it other than utter transformational sounding things as he did to get elected in 2008. Nor does he pick up the phone and ask me who knows all about it because it is mine and will always be. It is a stalemate between an enlightened commoner and a haughty and naked king. Government, as America's founders in 1776 understood very well as do public economists of all stripes, has a place in American life and this is where it belongs, unlike in many other countries including Europe. I trust the American idea. Its founding. And the very few who really understood it. They have been carved into Rushmore. The government in America, unlike in any other nation, was designed intentionally not to be trusted by the people. America is about trusting yourself, every individual, to be self-governing in responsibility and, thereby, individually and as a commons in freedom. This is the American exceptionalism. If you understand this, natural born or naturalized, then you are truly and natively American. In your own country, if it is not America, you understand and believe in this, you are an American in spirit. Are you American?
