Demon-Chatter

 I don't usually talk much politics over my home state (Alabama) but the governor's race is next November.

In the running currently, under the GOP, we have a lesser-known guy running....Dean Oldie.  Oldie has the profession of Pentecostal minister....meaning he believes in the speaking in 'tongues' and that demons (if found in people) need to be cast out.

I sat and pondered over the guy, if he were to win the election and be governor. 

First, we do have a lot of tormented folks in Alabama, with probable 'demons' (really just mental disease or damage from years of alcohol/drugs).  As governor, he'd be an asset to cast out these demons.

Second, the demon-hunter crowd generally always drifts over to the Republicans....NOT the Democrats.  It ought to be 50-50 here, but it isn't.

Third and final, one negative of getting this guy out in front....it'll attract the pro-demon crowd to get more political.  Hard to say if they will stand with the Republicans or the Democrats.  But I doubt that we really need more pro-demon positions on things (like Covid).  

Five Odd Things You'd Notice From the Past Week

 1.  This Houston rap-death incident.

Oddly enough....almost no one in the city management scene is responsible for anything.  You'd think that a permit was issued by someone in the city, and it listed eighty-odd things you needed to do....to ensure safety.  Yet in this case....nothing seems to be laid out.  

2.  The Biden team admits they are at a total loss on what to do about the mounting inflation business.

Yes, they do hype the trillion-dollar deal as something, but if you asked how the incoming and outgoing cash angle resolves inflation....they can't answer that.

Experts on their team within economics?  You get the impression that from the thirty-odd characters on the insider team....virtually no one is a graduate of economics.  

My impression is that nightly....they gather around a table...sipping Jim Beam and asking each other why potato chips are more expensive or how it costs $14 more now for a tank of gas compared to Trump's last year.  

3.  Someone did the math and suggests now that in the past decade....with Obama-Care in full bloom....the general yearly cost is now 50-percent more. 

And?  Is anyone really that shocked?  Most of the regulation added....did nothing to lessen the speed of cost-problems.

4.  VP Harris stood up and said her bad numbers on polling....reflect people being negative about her being a female, black, and Asian. 

At no point did she admit that incompetency might be in the mix.

5.  The term 'witch-hunt' probably gets uttered at least ten times a day, if you flip through CNN, MSNBC, or Fox-News.

Some people are probably starting to ask....where'd all these witches come from?
