Slow Joe Biden announced yesterday that the Ruling Class will use fighter jets and nuclear weapons, if necessary, to sustain its dominance. That&#8217;s going to sell a lot of guns and ammo, but I cannot imagine what it will do to the housing market. More of the same? That&#8217;s a safe bet, since \u2013 \u2018when in danger or in doubt\u2019 \u2013 a flight to safety is more about the flight than the ultimate safety.<\/p>\n<p>But the great thing about having an addlepated wreck as &#8220;president&#8221; is that he can&#8217;t keep Marxism&#8217;s secrets: Grasshoppers hate Ants more than anything else on earth.
