t was another not-so-good week for Biden, beginning with Indigenous Peoples’ Day (Columbus Day to the rest of us) and continuing on through no release of U.S. civilians by the Taliban, more Bidenflation, and enlivened only by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s scolding of the media.
Hundreds of U.S. civilians are stuck in Afghanistan, and there’s no effort to rescue them. The State Department wants to resume evacuation flights, but that’s up to the Taliban, not Foggy Bottom.
Bidenflation is raging across the nation, exacerbated by supply chain blockages and malfunctions. The cost of food is soaring: ground beef up 10.6%, chicken up 17%, pork roasts and ribs up almost 20%, and eggs up 12%. Bidenflation functions as a tax on the middle class and the poor. So much for Biden's promise not to tax anyone who doesn’t make $400,000 a year.
After a meeting with the Taliban in Qatar, the Taliban said the United States was going to provide “humanitarian” aid to Afghanistan. It may be the State Department’s effort to pay ransom for U.S. citizens trapped there. The European Union will be paying a lot to the Taliban in a way that would supposedly help the Afghan people. Whether any of their money will be spent to benefit Afghans is problematic and quite unlikely.
Meanwhile, Biden lifted Trump-era sanctions on two Iranian companies involved in Iran’s ballistic missile program, but that wasn’t enough to entice Iran back to the bargaining table. Biden also wants to revive the extremely dangerous 2015 Obama nuclear weapons deal with Iran. It’s his worst idea, which is saying a lot.
Biden’s son, Hunter, is reportedly trying to get rid of his 10% stock holding in a Chinese investment company that the U.S. has sanctioned. How hard can it be to dump some stock? The FBI is reportedly looking into a flow of money from Hunter to Joe.
Pelosi scolded the press for not doing a better job of selling Biden’s $3.5 trillion socialist spending bill. That’s no surprise because the Democrats see the media as their public relations firm, a fact the media confirm every day. The pressies tugged their forelocks and promised to do better.

Stocks Jump On Jobs, Earnings!!!
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped amid a broad rally on jobs data and a strong start to earnings season. Microsoft (MFST) gained as it moved to shut down LinkedIn in China. Boeing (BA) took a dive, while Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) earnings helped Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) gain.
A number of stocks were making bullish moves, including Snowflake (SNOW) and Upstart (UPST). Primerica (PRI), Baker Hughes (BKR) and Clearfield (CLFD) passed buy points.
Stocks were boosted after the Labor Department reported first-time applications for unemployment assistance decreased to 293,000 in the week ended Oct. 9. This was a 10% drop on the prior week. It was also under economists consensus projection for 320,000 claims.
This marked a second straight decline in weekly applications. It was also the lowest tally since March 2020, just as the pandemic got underway.
