Just Observations

1.  If you go and read from local sources in Seattle over the two black kids shot up by Chop-police, you get this story.  Both teens (16-year old is dead, 14-year old is pretty badly wounded) were homeless and living in the camp next to Chop.  They stole (at knife-point) the Jeep from a Seattle resident.  Via a phone, they were communicating with some woman in the camp who told them it was 'unsafe' out there where the real police were....they should return to the camp with the vehicle.

Approaching the barriers of Chop....that's when the action started.  300 rounds of ammo (say the Seattle police, but I'm skeptical) were fired.  Driver dead, passenger still alive.  Chop police in the first 30 minutes proclaimed that they'd killed some fascists rushing their barrier.  Charges on the kid still alive?  Well....there's the problem of who held the knife when the stealing took place.  Charges on Chop-police?  No one says nothing.  BLM saying nothing?  Yeah....that's the amusing part of the story. 

2.  Just me saying this, but virtually every single white riot-juvenile seems like they stepped out of a house-trailer, without a bath over the past month, and seem to carry a smell (even if I'm watching this on TV).

3.  The amount of 'carrying-the-load' on the media for Joe Biden?  You just admire the thousand ways that they avoid talking about his dementia or finding marginalized questions to ask....without taxing his mind. 

4.  Someone yesterday made an observation about NY City.  In a 24-hour period...four folks died from Covid-19.  Nineteen folks died from gunshot wounds. 

5.  This discussion about making Juneteenth a national holiday (dumping Columbus Day)?  Well...ask yourself, in five years....the Latino folks will be the biggest minority in America.  Seeing two holidays for blacks, what do you think they will ask for?  Two holidays for Latinos.  Obviously 31 March (Cesar Chavez birthday) and Cinco de Mayo Day (5th of May).  Take guesses on which other days are given up to make room.  Oh, and those Indian guys and Asian women will eventually come around asking for their holidays as well.  And don't forget those American-Indians. 

6.  It won't be page one news in the US, but a drug-rehab center in Mexico had an attack occur....end-result?  Twenty-four people dead and seven wounded. 

7.  $266-million rolled into Trump's campaign chest for 2nd quarter of 2020.  At current pace, billion dollars is now conceivable.  Just makes you wonder how much would be required by the two candidates in 2024. 

8.  What's odd about BLM?  If you want to donate money...their 'device' is ActBlue.  Virtually all of the background groups that get money out of ActBlue....are Democratic Party candidates.  If you don't say in particular that the money has to go to BLM, then the money is shifted around to various other things (including the Yang election effort).  You would think that BLM would wise up....get their money-handling machine, and depart from the Democratic Party handling.
