The 'Russian-Bounty' Discussion

First, this is only printed in a couple of big-name newspapers, and all based on anonymous sources.

The odds of the story being true?  Unknown. 

The odds are some tribal group in Afghanistan simply told some US Army liaison of a story they heard, and that Afghan guy heard it from another guy?  That's the problem....it sounds like a good story. 

Second, did the Pentagon hold back the story in March because of the question of factual data? 

I would make a strong suggestion that they needed secondary confirmation, and just never got anywhere with this.

Then third, and probably the bigger of all problems....once you proved all of this....then what?  Would you offer a counter-bounty on each Russian?  Would you remove all troops from the region? 

After all of this....then the question comes up....why wouldn't ISIS or the Taliban do the same thing?

Days, Weeks, Months, Years Ahead

Ten predictions:

1.  Most (certainly not 100-percent) all of the 'defund-police' efforts will be put onto a ballot....rather than signed off by the mayor or city council of a city.  The ballot measure will appear and will say (1) cut x-amount of police funding, or (2) cut the police entirely. 

In most all cases, the ballot measures will fail.  Even in Minneapolis....I would have doubts that you could suggest a 25-percent police funding cut and get the public to agree with you.  Regular working-class people won't be stupid enough to dump the police. 

2.  Most universities will start dumping Civil War classes, and lessening history classes in general.  Southern states will be the exception.

3.  Republicans will shock people in DC by coming out with a 'return of property' to Maryland suggestion.  Drawing a federal property map, the Republicans, with Trump's approval....will suggest a simple lessening of DC property.  DC local politicians will go nuts over the suggestion and Maryland will shock the news folks by saying they would never accept the 'gift'. 

4.  The BLM guys will be invited to a IRS audit, and the topic of tax-free status comes up....with the problem of admitting that the primary agenda of BLM is rid the nation of President Trump.  That violates the tax-status of BLM.  The financial expert of BLM knows this, and goes back to the BLM 'bosses'.  None of them will be able to handle the blunt nature of the truth.  Either they lose the tax-free status, or they face criminal proceedings with the IRS.

5.  BLM will end the year with zero effort to lessen shootings in Chicago.

6.  Based on Joe Biden-math, virtually every single American will be dead by Christmas.

7.  PepsiCo is the owner of Aunt Jemima syrup.  Since the announcement of new branding and a new name for the syrup....most people are sitting there and feel amused.  Once they deliver the new container, with the new name....I suspect that the competition will take fifty-percent of the normal business away from PepsiCo.  Sad loss for profits. 

8.  Seattle, by mid-summer of 2021, is in serious financial jeopardy.  Lawsuits will drain capital of the city....over allowing CHOP to exist and harm business in the downtown area. 

9.  Republican VP Pence....won't be the VP candidate on the ballot for November.  (will be a shocker for people to imagine).

10. No NCAA football or NFL football for this fall.
