Pelosi’s trip was mostly risk, with little reward.

It elbowed her husband’s DUI trial out of the media’s eye, but that of course was not main motive for the trip.

She single-handedly took a lot of pressure off Xi for China’s internal issues at a critical time for him.

He should be thanking that vainglorious hack of a politician elected by a tiny number of lotus-eating San Francisco crackpots.

Biden could’ve stopped the trip in its tracks, if he had any spine, by controlling the airplane she travelled in. A military plane does what the Commander-in-Chief orders it to do. His protests about being unable to do anything about her trip fall on my deaf ears, and surely on Xi’s deaf ears, too.

But the important point, in my view, is that China has more or less two years before the US materially corrects its dependence on TSMC chips. A time frame that coincides with US presidential elections. And within two years, the US will have caught up on hypersonic missile technology, creating a new Mutually Assured Destruction paradigm which I frankly welcome because hypersonic missiles might well make nuclear ones less relevant.

So, Xi has two years. I’m sure he knows it.

Some good news:

This dreadful summer heat has killed a large portion of the tick population according to all the dog owners in our neighborhood.

Strip, Throw all clothing in dryer as you come inside.

Then wash. Lots of times the ticks are too small to spot.
Placing clothing directly in a dryer and drying for a minimum of 6min on high heat will effectively kill ticks on clothing. If clothing is soiled and requires washing first, our results indicate clothing should be washed with water temperature =54°C (=130°F) to kill ticks.
