Just Observations

1.  Over the weekend, you can see that the mayor of Minneapolis is now having problems.  His city council (overwhelmingly) wants the police disbanded.....he opposes.  Public sentiment (from the extreme left to the regular working-class) isn't with him.  I don't don't think the guy will last through the month.  He'll resign by early July (maybe on paper staying through to August).

2.  Looking at the disbanding idea and the population of 425,000 in Minneapolis.....I would suspect that more than 50,000 residents are viewing the situation and looking at job options elsewhere or just leaving to resettle relatives in some other state.  Gun dealers are probably selling the most weapons of their lives right now.

3.  Interest in NFL football?  After you view the Drew Brees chatter (with his wife in the act), and all the social media business.....there's marginal interest in the season approaching.  The brand is sinking with the NFL.  College football might survive the next year or two, but when you only have 20,000 fans show up at a NFL game, and you miss 50-percent of the viewing audience from a decade ago....the salary structure will collapse.

4.  What you really need right now....is a five-star hurricane to hit some area of the US.

5.  Cops have arrested two folks in the murder during the riot entry of retired police chief David Dorn's business (St Louis area).  They are still looking for a couple of others who were in the building.  Here's the odd factor, with this group of four to five folks who entered the building where Dorn was killed.  It doesn't matter who pulled the trigger....by state law, you as the accomplice get some blame, and stand for the murder charges as well.  So just traveling with the wrong crowd, you are screwed for the rest of your life.

6.   The arrest and dention of Antifa folks?  In various stages....folks are being arrested and charges are going up.  Here's the factor to think about.  Normal committed folks to the Colombian drug cartels, Russian mafia, and the Italian Cosa Nostra....DON'T talk when brought in....mostly on the fear of death by fellow members.  For some reason, I just don't see the Antifa guys being that consumed.  Lawyers helping the arrested will hype on making a 'deal' and talking.  I would imagine that just about every single Antifa guy is looking at ten years of Fed prison and pretty scared about the options.  If they were arrested with explosives or bomb-devices on them....forget the 10-year situation and worry more about 20 years in prison.

7.  The fact that CNN has uttered Antifa at least 10,000 times over the past five years, and suddenly declares it non-existent?  Child-like journalists.

8.  Either Covid-19 is going to ramp up and kill thousands over the next month, or the whole thing was a fraudulent game of the medical profession.

9.  The fact that in the last couple of days....both Colin Powell and George Bush 'Junior' came out saying they wouldn't vote for Trump?  It's been like fifteen years since their 'period' and frankly.....no one much cares what they say.

10.  There are five general signs that you are in a cult:  (1) the people around you dismiss and forbid free/critical thinking....there can only be their view.  (2)  You find yourself with continual loyalty problems (demanded by the group), with 'tests' coming weekly about your dedication.  (3) Behavior barriers that seem normal in the beginning.....are continually pushed back, and replaced.  You reach a point weeks into this where you aren't the same person.  (4) You get continually told the 'truth', but start finding problems in that the 'truth' isn't stable or stationary.  (5) Stress is put upon you almost daily to stay within the group/cult.

If you think about this this description, and Antifa.....yes, Antifa has more or less become a cult.
