American Consequences - October 2018

FROM OUR INBOX

your retirement is incredible! If other readers are interested in what might happen next in the market, I recommend tuning in on October 24 to a free online event with American Consequences contributor Steve Sjuggerud. Steve predicted Dow 20,000, the dot-com crash, and the housing bubble. His timing on both booms and crashes has been incredible. And while he believes stocks will soar far more than anyone expects in the near term, he knows that the Melt Up won’t continue forever... After the Melt Up, comes the Melt Down. That’s why on October 24, he’s also sharing exactly when the bull market will end. Tune in to this live video broadcast from any computer, tablet, or smartphone at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, October 24. To claim your seat, click here. Re: P.J. on HBO Loved you and your comments on [Bill] Maher’s show. Hope to see youmore often. – J.R. P.J. O’Rourke comment: Thank you, J.R. Bill is a great man. I’ve known him for 25 years and have been going on his shows since he started “Politically Incorrect” on Comedy Central in 1993. Sometimes it’s a little lonely being a conservative on “Real Time,” but funny has no right wing or left wing. You never know where the funny bone will be located. Laughter is involuntary, and Bill makes me

laugh even when – sometimes especially when – I disagree with him. I am dumping American Consequences because of PJO’s sophomoric rant against PRESIDENT— let me repeat that —PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP this week. – Anonymous P.J. O’Rourke comment: Are you the same “Anonymous” who wrote that New York Times op-ed about the “resistance” inside the Trump administration? You seem to have changed your tune. Anyway, I want to tell you how good that Times article was – for paper training puppies. Thank you, PJ. We need more people of character to stand up and call out Trump for what he is. – B.G. P.J. O’Rourke comment: Thank you, sort of, B.G. I’m glad to ridicule Trump when he needs it – and every powerful person needs some ridicule. But I don’t want to be thought of as ridiculing Trump for everything , the way the New York Times does. If Trump cured cancer tomorrow the headline in the New York Times would be, “But Heart Disease Kills More People.” Sorry to have seen your editor describing the President as a toddler the same week previous admin officials are crawling out of the woodwork reminding us what real jerks they remain. I won’t be reading your product. – M.S. P.J. O’Rourke comment: Please, M.S., toddlers and vermin are two different things. I’ve had three toddlers in my house and loved them all – even though they were annoying little brats who needed constant supervision.
