Ausable Funds: new wounded warrior veteran led emerging markets mutual fund that covers - Latin America, Africa, Europe, Asia/China launches first fund in 4Q24.
Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans.
Donald J Trump is alive today solely due to a bad wind estimate by an evil would be assasin.
As the graphics show the full value wind of just 5mph was enough to displace the unconfirmed but likely light 55 grain bullet two inches from DJT's intended forehead to his ear.
DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).
The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no "first shot" policy. The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assasin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd.
In my old business of providing Diplomatic Security in two active war zones we were expected to execute the basics or we would be fired. Clearly USSS failed at the basics of a secure perimeter and once shots were fired their extraction was clumsy and left DJT highly exposed to follow on attacks. It looked like they had never drilled together because those responses should be effectively autonomic. Will there be accountability? That's not the Washington way.
Unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day. Sadly nothing in Washington reflects that any longer. DJT is right to question the competence of those protecting him because yesterday they failed in almost every way. Nature abhors a vacuum and there are always other options.
Most importantly, as Americans let's come together and run a proper valid election so we can get back to what matters a merit based society that judges on character and skill. Nothing else.

As a fan of both Chinese culture and video games, it fills me with pride to see #BlackMyth: #Wukong, an action role-playing game developed by the Chinese studio Game Science, receive so much attention at this year's #TheGameAwards
I've been reading up on Chinese history, literature, and architecture in preparation for writing an article that will help gamers outside of China understand the game's nods to Chinese culture.
The game is based on the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West from the 16th century, which has deep roots in Chinese folk religion, Chinese mythology, Confucian, Taoist, and Buddhist theology, and whose pantheon of Taoist immortals and Buddhist bodhisattvas reflect some contemporary Chinese religious attitudes.
The game's visual aesthetic was inspired by the historic architecture of China's Shanxi province, where all four of China's surviving Tang dynasty wooden structures are located. The Tang dynasty left an imprint on the arts and literature of numerous Asian countries, including Japan and Korea.
Or, what distinguishes Chinese dragons from their western counterparts? (For instance, our dragons do not breathe fire but rather possess the ability to manipulate water; they also lack wings yet are capable of flight.)
I’m planning to visit Shanxi Province next year and check out the ancient temples that are shown in the game. It's a lot of effort, but it's important. Being Chinese, I'm eager to find out more and share more about my heritage.

@committeeonccp @chairmang@SundayFutures America is all about freedom, and specifically, free market capitalism. American investors should be free to invest wherever they choose. Maybe Congress should stop borrowing from China and paying billions in interest to them......
The level of opacity and unpredictability in the PRC/China must have investors on edge: "In another example of how secretive elite politics has become under Mr. Xi, Communist Party authorities announced this week that Lt. Gen. Wang Shaojun, a former head of the Central Security Bureau that guards Chinese leaders, had died three months earlier. There was no explanation for the delay in announcing his death." @nytimes
@VivekGRamaswamy Kind of a silly post, as those three firms are nearly always minority shareholders - with maybe 5-12% of a stake in a firm. Not a controlling stake.....
