An Idea

I have this idea.  In approximately six months....the company folks will be dumping the Aunt Jemima container and name.  New name to come.....new bottle look to be developed.

So my idea is to develop these old plastic-container like Aunt Jemima from company A, and then develop fake stickers that say Aunt Jemama (notice the spelling difference) from company B....market both via some Chinese distributor, and sell it to the American public. 

You buy the new no-name product and simply pour it into the new fake plastic bottle, and put the label on the side of the bottle. 

I know....there's probably ten different legal matters with this idea, but I think the general public will want to keep the brand bottle and label alive in some way. 

Fake Card

I started laughing when I read this story in the morning.

Basically, some 'idiot' with graphics ability....made up this card. 

It basically is a Facial Mask exemption card. It states because of the Disability Act, you are granted a waiver from wearing the mask....for any reason.

Course, it mentions at the bottom....denying access to a person...could trigger you being reported to the FTBA.

Fake?  Yep.  In fact, the Justice Department came out and has said some pretty harsh things about people using the card.

How many exist?  Unknown.  I'm guessing daily....some idiot tries to enter Wal-Mart, and shows the card. 

Just Observations

1.  The more you view the Antifa/BLM video....the more you feel it's Baghdad or Afghanistan....in the midst of the war period.  Local police could do nothing....people were intimidated....looting was commonplace.  It's an Americanized civil war....whether you like it or not.

2.  38-percent of people, according to polling, think that Joe Biden has Dementia.  The rest simply think Joe is acting like Joe.

3.  Back in 2008, Joe's medical records were released.....noting two serious brain aneurysms in 1988....which required part of his skull to be penetrated as part of the surgical procedure.  The odds that this procedure set up long term issues?  It makes you wonder.

4.  I think if people who heavily favored socialism....actually went to a heavily attached socialistic country....after three weeks, they'd quietly come back to the US and never say a word about socialism.  And no, I'm not talking about Denmark or Finland.

5.  It kinda hit me yesterday.....a guy comes up and takes the Covid-19 test....then tests positive.  Ten days later, he feels really fine....no symptoms, and wants the second test to  get approval to go back to work.  Second test?  Positive.  Oddly at this point, that test is counted as a brand new test for US statistical numbers.  Three days go by and this guy feels super-fine.....takes the third test, and it still shows positive.  That counts as another new test.  So a week goes by and finally the fourth test shows negative.  One guy, four tests, three positives....equals three infections.

6.  Chicago's gay pride parade was officially cancelled by the mayor....because of the Corona concerns.  What happened then?  Unofficially, thousands showed up and did the parade anyway.  Odds of a surge in Chicago over the next week?  Probably, but you can't blame this on the mayor.

7.  This Russian bounty story?  It appears that the Pentagon spent an awful lot of man-hours and effort to find some supporting data/evidence.  At this point?  Nothing.  I admit, it was a good story....kinda like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness sea monster.  Maybe the NY Times will send someone to Afghanistan and get a personal interview with some Russian dude to prove the story.

8.  If the Russian bounty story was true?  First, what was the amount?  $200 per US soldier?  $4k per US soldier?  $9k per US soldier?  Second, once you established if the story was true....the logical step would be a reverse ransom situation....offer up double the ransom for Russian operatives in the area.  Then the Russians would double theirs, and the US would react, and double theirs.  In a matter of six months....one single US soldier would be $500k, and we'd end the whole necessity of anyone (Russian, US or otherwise) being in Afghanistan.

9. The question came up at the White House press conference yesterday: Does President Trump believe that it was a good thing that the South lost the Civil War?

Ha, I sat for a good long ten minutes thinking it was fake news....but no, it was a true question.

The war has been over for 160 years, and people stand around....like it was last year....asking if it was all a good thing or not.  Maybe some idiot should ask the guy if the fall of the Roman Empire was a good thing, or if the arrival of the Plymouth Rock idiots was a good thing, or if the Red Sox selling their young pitcher named Ruth to the Yankees was a good thing.

10.  Three states have governor-recall petitions approved and working presently (Michigan, Minnesota, and Oregon).  A fourth, California, will likely be attempted but fail with enough signatures.  Odds here?  In the case of Michigan and Minnesota....it's decent odds that the governors will be voted out (not overwhelming though).  Oregon is less than a 50-50 situation.
