> THE SUPREME BALLROOM

Robert Reich:

. . . [Five Supreme Court Justices] mentioned the preservationists who challenged the development of the deliberate ballroom lacked standing to carry their lawsuit as a result of they weren’t instantly harmed by the venture.

That lawsuit was introduced by the Nationwide Belief for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit chartered by Congress to protect public buildings. If this group doesn’t have standing to complain about Trump’s mayhem on the Folks’s Home, I can’t think about who would.

. . . Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined with the court docket’s three Democratic-appointed justices in dissent, saying the development was “possible illegal.” He reasoned that as a result of the White Home is “an iconic American constructing whose symbolism and historical past are wrapped up in its structure,” it’s necessary that “these accountable comply with the principles in deciding what to tear down and what to construct up on the Folks’s Home.”

By the bulk’s pathetic logic, Trump may raze the whole White Home and put up a Trump tower as an alternative, or take down the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument and erect monuments to himself, and nobody would have standing to complain.

As you understand, Everything Trump Touches Dies. Look how effectively the Kennedy Heart and the Reflecting Pool are doing. And our alliances world wide (although he has solid a particular relationship with Putin and trades love letters with Kim Jong Un). And Trump’s casinos, Trump College, Trump airline, Trump steaks, Trump nutritional vitamins, Trump mortgages, Trump meme cash, Trump marriages, Trump’s “charity.” And an impartial Justice Division, the Client Monetary Safety Bureau, and Government Department competence and integrity typically. And civility and norms and the respect for the rule of regulation. However there I am going once more.

Dekleptocracy Alliance President Kristofer Harrison:

The One Golf Course Trump Received’t Play

A South Korean conglomerate paid a Trump household enterprise $2 million final 12 months for a golf course that doesn’t exist. “The cost sits within the books as a nonrefundable ‘growth price,’ that means the cash went in and nothing got here out.

. . . CHRB
Three years in the past, I wrote:

If all goes effectively, we get $25 when the notes are redeemed plus $6 alongside the best way, so $31 on a $13.50 funding.

Yesterday, all went effectively. Case closed.

. . . PRKR

When this countless saga dipped beneath 8 cents a share three weeks in the past, I purchased but extra — I’ve a zillion shares — and meant to recommend you think about doing the identical (although solely with cash, clearly, you’ll be able to actually afford to lose) however then it bounced again to a dime and I figured I’d look ahead to it to drop once more. Now it’s 15 cents.

With one thing like 200 million shares excellent, that offers it a market valuation of “solely” $30 million. I put “solely” in quotes each as a result of to you or me, $30 million is some huge cash, and since, effectively, if ParkerVision by no means wins any of its lawsuits, its inventory will probably be value zero, which makes $30 million look very giant certainly.

The hope is that it will win or settle a number of of its fits, and for what may internet it — who is aware of? $100 million? $500 million? Extra?

This stays a complete crap shoot, however I imagine — as a jury in simply one of many circumstances additionally believed — to the tune of $174 million in 2013 — that their claims are legitimate.

(A decide appeared to affirm the decision, however then six months later — unexpectedly, and underneath what is likely to be thought-about suspicious circumstances — threw the entire thing out.)

So who is aware of?

Case undoubtedly not closed.

. . . YTRA

I haven’t written about this one in a very long time. It is likely one of the largest journey businesses in India. I want I hadn’t suggested it seven years in the past at $4. It lately obtained an unsolicited partial tender provide for 30 million shares at $1.10 every. I’m not tendering. I feel it may finally be value much more (as does, presumably, whoever is providing the $1.10).

. . . BOREF

My albatross. No brokerage agency I do know of will purchase or promote shares; I see no quote listed; and the huge variety of shares I’ve at Schwab are valued at $2 every in a single account (with a footnote cautioning me to not depend on that quote) and at $0 in one other account — on the identical agency. I feel one clearly has to imagine our shares are or will probably be nugatory . . . and but the expertise and enterprise mannequin are terrific and who is aware of? There’s all the time the possibility, faint although it could be, that they may discover the fitting investor or strategic accomplice to breathe life into the dream. It’s solely been 27 years now.
