1. On the Hunter Biden 'hunt'....why now? I think that the Democrats in various places now see a mess in January with House investigations being started by the Republicans (then in power) and it'd be a lot simpler to have Hunter under federal investigation, and close off the House-type investigation. I think someone has already written down a number....like 18 months in prison, and Joe has already already agreed to a pardon....with Hunter doing less than a month in prison.
2. Disney screwed-up? Well....after coming out of two years of Covid.....the Disney-Florida operation needed a open situation and profit rolling in. They didn't need to open up a hornets nest and lose potentially a half-billion dollars a year in income or lost tax credits from the state. The board? They should have done something a month ago to reverse course.
3. What'll happen to Netflix? I'm of the belief that before the end of 2023.....someone will buy the greatly cheapened company, and dissolve about 40-percent of the monthly offerings for view.
4. More blacks murdered since 'Defund the Police' started? Yeah, statistically, you can make that case now. If you asked mayors to explain why....they can't.
5. Is Russia a state sponsor of terrorism? I noticed this question finally started to be asked in the past week. It probably should have been asked twenty years ago.
a)
ReplyDeleteThe Russian people are xenophobic, and rightly so.
Barely united by a semi-common language -- across how many time-zones? -- their heritage is a great source of national pride.
.
Fact is, I am enormously impressed watching President Vladimir Putin standing shoulder-to-shoulder among his people in a massive stadium...
... singing their national anthem together.

b)
On the other hand, the chinese are xenophobic inbreds, incapable of creating or independent thought, yet quite adept at mimicry.
Any show of loyalty to TheRulingElites is a result of threats and punishment.
.
In china, I think TheMalignantOverlords see their abrupt end coming, and are grasping for any straws to maintain the facade another few moments.
I think the chinese are capable of the worst we can expect from our species, including acts of war against their own citizens.
.
I think the chinese are easily capable of destroying global civilization as a 'face-saving measure'.
.
During the die-off of the prideful among them, I see some humility as their next evolutionary step.
Although it might sting at first, the imminent collapse of the chinese is probably in their benefit long-term.
.
Accordingly, I think we can anticipate an increasing number of chinesium terrorists -- 'chinesium' because of the poor quality and built-in obsolescence -- perpetuating an increasing number of ever-worsening attacks against helpless civilian targets.
.
Facing a similar demise, I might do the same.
Fact is, I predict copy-cat acts of war against Americans from American bureaucrats...
...as directed by their RulingElite puppet-masters.
.
In their position, accustomed to the 'delusion of control', I might do the same.
