Observations

 1.  President Biden made a statement yesterday: "There's gonna be another pandemic."

Shocking news.....I swear.

2.  Oddly enough, the Ruble is now at the strongest point in seven years....against the dollar.  It's hard to find any economist who thinks this a real or trustworthily trend.  

3.  US college enrollments have dropped in the past year by 1.4-million.  No one says it's a permanent trend, but if this were to occur again....I would imagine some colleges would be asking questions.

I also noticed that the University of Cincinnati, which has a decent STEM program....went and added wording to the regulations....preventing Asians and whites from getting seats in the program.  Naturally, it's a public college and there's going to be some legal action taken....lawyers will make some quick cash here, and they will be forced to drop the regulation a year or two down the road.

4.  John Hawkins wrote a piece, which I'd encourage you to read.  Title?  "Why Most Liberals Are Intellectually Incapable of Understanding Conservatives."

I'll just say this....this would not have been true twenty to thirty years ago.  In some ways....I think a fair sum of Americans have dumbed themselves down....where even a 12-year old kid might be more logical and intelligent than a 30-year old college graduate.

5.  Just odd....city of Uvalde, Texas (shooting area)....went and hired a private law firm to safeguard video/pictures of the crime scene.  

Just my imagination here, but there's going to be massive lawsuits coming against the school, the city, and the police....and financially speaking....they will be in a rough period for the next decade.  If you live in the town...you might want to view your home-price currently, sell, and move a good distance out of town.

6.  Joe Biden's team had to admit yesterday that US tax revenue is being used to safeguard and maintain the seized yachts of the Russian Oligarch folks.  How much money spent?  No one really says....wouldn't shock me if we were spending 300-million a year.

7.  Interesting report at Newsmax.....tens of thousands packing up in SF, and leaving town.  No trend-stopper on the horizon.

8.  Miss Brazil winner....dead at age 27....from tonsil surgery complications.
