Observations

 1.  If you laid out the current Hunter Biden story back in the 1980s....Joe Biden would be finished off and the DNC would have to hype up Harris to fill the slot.  But this symbolizes how screwed up things are, in that the news media and social media have to deny this to the ninth degree, and junk their 'trust-status' to the general public.  In essence, they think a crack-head like Hunter is just another regular guy in the neighborhood.  

2.  James Clapper says the Russians are behind the whole Hunter-laptop story.  

3.  We are confronted now on a hour by hour basis, with fact-checkers.  You can probably note around twenty individuals in an average day....telling you they fact-checked things for you.

4.  If you asked an average group of Americans....one-thousand in number....to explain what the hell a Marxist is.....98-percent would be silent for about 30 seconds and ask you to clarify the question.  One-percent would respond they knew a Mark Syst back in grade school...who had a collection of Iron-Man comics.  This would leave you one-percent who could give you a 3-line explanation of Marxist.

5.  Rumor has it that only 5-percent of the Hunter hard-drive has been openly discussed in the NY Post so far.  That leaves you around 20 front-pages of sensational news before they are finished.

6.  State with highest unemployment rate currently?  Hawaii.  Remember....there's virtually no industry there, and tourism is their 'bread and butter'.

7. Five US airlines are 'near' default status (Jet Blue, United, Delta, SouthWest, and American).  The odds here of at least two, maybe three....having to combine...to survive?  I'd give it better than 50-percent odds.  The odds of one disappearing entirely by January?  Better than 50-percent odds as well.

8.  Serious science study says Corona can survive on your skin for 9 hours.  So using a quart of alcohol-rub on your buddy over the whole day....might not be that crazy.  I might mix some Aqua Velva solution into it....to give it a manly smell.

9.  Joe says he could mandate or make you wear a mask, period.  Well....he says that.

10.  Rumor started up late in the week that the White House is looking at potential Executive Orders to be given to Twitter.  You'd have to wonder....how they'd react, and if they were crazy enough to shut it down for 24 hours to make a point.  

11.  This Ice Cube guy is looking more and more interesting each day.  Liberal press is hating the guy.  Ice Cube may have done more for the black community in past six months.....than Obama's crew did over eight years.  

12.  Over past hundred years, you just can't find any single episode of censorship that went well for the party/group/press conducting it.  In each single case, a value of trust was lost.

13.  Tab is dead (or will be shortly).  Tab has been around since 1963.  A fair number of folks never realized that Coke made 3 variations of Tab (Tab clear, Tab Energy, and Tab X-tra).  On soda taste?  Its the only soda that I'd rank as minus-zero.  

14.  New season of Star Trek Discovery started up.  First episode?  Well....it just has the look and feel of Star Wars.  

15. If you found out that various high-ranking CCP Chinese Party officials had easy meetings set up with VP Joe during the Obama era....would it really bother you?
