begins badly
 

f you feel like the second quarter began badly, you’d be right.

U.S. stocks had their worst April start since 1929, according to data
compiled by Bloomberg. The S&P 500 index slumped 2.2 percent, a rout
exceeded only by its 2.5 percent decline 89 years ago, a prelude to the
devastating crash later that year that brought on the Great Depression.
(Back then, the index only comprised 90 stocks.)

China’s retaliatory trade tariffs combined with President Donald Trump’s
criticism of Amazon.com Inc. to send equities into a tailspin Monday.
Shares in the online retailer tumbled, encouraging a sell-off in consumer
discretionary and technology stocks. The S&P 500 closed below its 200-day
moving average -- a key technical support -- and volatility climbed.

You really need to watch stocks in the long term but I agree things
trump is doing right now is depressing the market. If we do end up
working something out with Jina it will pop back up. The market is
still overpriced IMHO and I expect a huge correction but what the hell
do I know. The reality is where else would all the money go?
It is funny that you like to trash the 0.1% and then you are worried
about where they are putting their money.
I know one thing for sure. The smart day traders made a **** load of
money today.

IF Harry paid his taxes there would not be IRS liens. IF he understood
economics Harry would not have two bankruptcy proceedings. IF he paid the
bank for his loans to buy a shack in Florida, he would not have lost the
house. IF, IF, IF, IF. IF we had elected Hillary we would have had the
biggest criminal ever as President. And probably be really close to WW3.

Most of the reason illegal immigration is dropping is job opportunity
is lower. Stricter enforcement of the law has pretty much relegated
illegals to standing in front of Home Depot looking for day labor or
selling oranges by the side of the road. Regular employers are not
going to hire a full time person who will get them in trouble with the
IRS. You can still get papers that will get you through E-verify but I
hear the price has doubled. If they are paying taxes and working, they
can stay as far as I am concerned.

The most significant difference is the National Guard works for the
governor of that state not the POTUS, unless that unit gets called up.
It is a clever work around to Posse Comitatus.
As long as they work for the governor, they can be used for local law
enforcement. When Eisenhower nationalized the ANG and sent the 101st
Airborne to Little Rock to enforce the civil rights laws, it was
unconstitutional. Fortunately the cause was seen as noble enough that
nobody called him on it. These days somebody would be demanding that

I think the lines are a bit fuzzy here. The National Guard is a reserve
unit although not exactly the same as the regular Army reserves. The
National Guard *can* be called up and activated by the President for
temporary duty domestically or internationally and that includes
situations where the normal enforcement of domestic laws are not
practical or feasible. Normally, the federal activation of the National
Guard by the President, Congress or Secretary of Defense takes place
upon the request of the Governor of the State in which the Guard is
located however it is not necessary. Unlike other regular reservists,
individual Guard members are not called up. Rather, they are activated
by unit.

And to make things more complex, the patrolling of the border comes
under the Department of Homeland Security. The USCG is a regular
military branch that also operates under the DHS and regularly conducts
patrols on on seas for both illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and
others attempting to evade being caught.

Oh, were those relatives fighting as an ordinary police unit or to
pursue ordinary domestic policies within the United States? No? Well,
there are restrictions on the U.S. Army or Air Force doing that, but the
Guard, which is under the direction of a governor, can engage in such
activities in their home or neighboring states.

You see, Tim, there *is* a difference between the U.S. military and the

A national guard unit can be activated for border patrol or for other
activities along a border, such as fence building, but I think the
restrictions in the Insurrection Act prevent the Army from doing that.
There were a few years when such was possible, but that authority was
taken away.

The NG is the last remnants of the militia. They are still under the
purview of the states tho, hence the state name in front of each
unit's name. You are right, that is not the same as the reserves which
are directly connected to each service.
The Coast Guard has always been a different breed of cat. It is and
has been a civilian service that can be called up by DoD. They still
follow all of the military customs, UCMJ etc but they have always
worked for some other civilian agency, not DoD. They make that pretty
clear to you when you are there. I was there for the Treasury days and
the Transportation days. DHS happened after 9-11.
They are really a strange hybrid with pretty much unequaled powers.
They have the power to enforce laws without bumping into Posse
Comitatus, they can enforce immigration law, they can board and search

f you feel like the second quarter began badly, you’d be right.

U.S. stocks had their worst April start since 1929, according to data
compiled by Bloomberg. The S&P 500 index slumped 2.2 percent, a rout
exceeded only by its 2.5 percent decline 89 years ago, a prelude to the
devastating crash later that year that brought on the Great Depression.
(Back then, the index only comprised 90 stocks.)

China’s retaliatory trade tariffs combined with President Donald Trump’s
criticism of Amazon.com Inc. to send equities into a tailspin Monday.
Shares in the online retailer tumbled, encouraging a sell-off in consumer
discretionary and technology stocks. The S&P 500 closed below its 200-day
moving average -- a key technical support -- and volatility climbed.

From Bloomberg News

You really need to watch stocks in the long term but I agree things
trump is doing right now is depressing the market. If we do end up
working something out with Jina it will pop back up. The market is
still overpriced IMHO and I expect a huge correction but what the hell
do I know. The reality is where else would all the money go?
It is funny that you like to trash the 0.1% and then you are worried
about where they are putting their money.
I know one thing for sure. The smart day traders made a **** load of
money today.


It is ironically funny that Trump is the cause of the market “correction.”
If it takes a serious drop before the fall elections, Trump will be
figuratively tarred and feathered.


We haven't seen a "correction". This is from your friends at CNN:

No he just did the flashlight thing and asked me a few questions.
It did not occur to me to say no. I had nothing to hide but I know
that is how rights are simply given away.
I did question his shining a white light in my eyes when I was going
to be navigating at night. He apologized and said he was just doing
his job. He got the light out of my face and stalled around long
enough looking at my papers for me to recover some night vision. That
area is lit up like time square anyway until you get to mid island and
cut back into the mangroves. Once I got around the corner from the
marina I was seeing OK enough to run the mangroves back to the river.

The breathalyzer would most likely be tossed as illegal. But fish and
wildlife seem to have a pass on checking for poaching. The CG can check
as they started as the Revenue Service and were checking for smugglers.
Still a valid reason for warrantless search.

Hahahahaha!

The most significant difference is the National Guard works for the
governor of that state not the POTUS, unless that unit gets called up.
It is a clever work around to Posse Comitatus.
As long as they work for the governor, they can be used for local law
enforcement. When Eisenhower nationalized the ANG and sent the 101st
Airborne to Little Rock to enforce the civil rights laws, it was
unconstitutional. Fortunately the cause was seen as noble enough that
nobody called him on it. These days somebody would be demanding that
he be impeached.



I think the lines are a bit fuzzy here. The National Guard is a reserve
unit although not exactly the same as the regular Army reserves. The
National Guard *can* be called up and activated by the President for
temporary duty domestically or internationally and that includes
situations where the normal enforcement of domestic laws are not
practical or feasible. Normally, the federal activation of the National
Guard by the President, Congress or Secretary of Defense takes place
upon the request of the Governor of the State in which the Guard is
located however it is not necessary. Unlike other regular reservists,
individual Guard members are not called up. Rather, they are activated
by unit.

And to make things more complex, the patrolling of the border comes
under the Department of Homeland Security. The USCG is a regular
military branch that also operates under the DHS and regularly conducts
patrols on on seas for both illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and
others attempting to evade being caught.


The NG is the last remnants of the militia. They are still under the
purview of the states tho, hence the state name in front of each
unit's name. You are right, that is not the same as the reserves which
are directly connected to each service.
The Coast Guard has always been a different breed of cat. It is and
has been a civilian service that can be called up by DoD. They still
follow all of the military customs, UCMJ etc but they have always
worked for some other civilian agency, not DoD. They make that pretty
clear to you when you are there. I was there for the Treasury days and
the Transportation days. DHS happened after 9-11.
They are really a strange hybrid with pretty much unequaled powers.
They have the power to enforce laws without bumping into Posse
Comitatus, they can enforce immigration law, they can board and search
vessels at sea without a warrant and that extends into just about
anywhere they have jurisdiction. You see that in action here when they
will put some junior enlisted coastie on the sheriff's boat during
those enhanced enforcement weekends so they do not have to deal with
niceties if they want to look over your boat. They just send the CG

The Coast Guard can also operate under the Navy's jurisdiction and
control in certain circumstances.

That is exactly how it is handled, even if it's a regular, local CG
patrol craft that boards a recreational vessel and finds illegal drugs
or weapons. The local police department is called who meets the
offending vessel crew at the dock and arrests them.

The Massachusetts Environmental Police are the ones everyone watches out
for up here. They have broad law enforcement authority, more so than
even local or state police departments. They also operate as part of
Homeland Security assets. A MEP officer can even stop you for a traffic
violation when driving your car down the highway.

I've never seen CG personnel on local police, environmental police or
state police boats up here. They patrol in their own semi-rigid boats
with twin outboards. They are armed and often conduct boarding's and
inspections of recreational craft. Any serious violations such as drugs
or illegal weapons are reported to the local police department who
arrive at the dock and take the violators into custody.

And to make things more complex, the patrolling of the border comes
under the Department of Homeland Security. The USCG is a regular
military branch that also operates under the DHS and regularly conducts
patrols on on seas for both illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and
others attempting to evade being caught.


The NG is the last remnants of the militia. They are still under the
purview of the states tho, hence the state name in front of each
unit's name. You are right, that is not the same as the reserves which
are directly connected to each service.
The Coast Guard has always been a different breed of cat. It is and
has been a civilian service that can be called up by DoD. They still
follow all of the military customs, UCMJ etc but they have always
worked for some other civilian agency, not DoD. They make that pretty
clear to you when you are there. I was there for the Treasury days and
the Transportation days. DHS happened after 9-11.
They are really a strange hybrid with pretty much unequaled powers.
They have the power to enforce laws without bumping into Posse
Comitatus, they can enforce immigration law, they can board and search
vessels at sea without a warrant and that extends into just about
anywhere they have jurisdiction. You see that in action here when they
will put some junior enlisted coastie on the sheriff's boat during
those enhanced enforcement weekends so they do not have to deal with
niceties if they want to look over your boat. They just send the CG
guy on board to look around. The CG does have the power to
immediately seize your boat if there are drugs on board, in any
quantity. I often wonder if that has ever been tested in court if they
are inside the COLREGS line. I know offshore guides are pretty adamant
with a "no drugs on my boat" rule.



The Coast Guard can also operate under the Navy's jurisdiction and
control in certain circumstances.


Usually that has to be at the direction of the POTUS. It used to be
"in time of war" but that line got blurred during the Truman and LBJ
administrations when the president unilaterally declared war. Since
then a war is whatever the president says it is.
