Seven Things I Noticed

 1.  The CDC came out with some guidance on safe sex....if you wanted to avoid monkeypox: (1) having masturbate liaison with your partner....try to be at least 6ft away from the buddy, (2) try to avoid kissing, (3) recommend virtual sex, (4) trying having sex with your clothing on or where sores might be present.

After you read the list three or four times.....it just seems like they try hard to avoid saying it's gay guys who mostly get it.  Also odd....they don't seem to mention mask-wearing.

2.  All of the sudden, after this chatter that ten Republican Senators were all hyped-up to pass Democratic wording for gun-control.....things seem to have fallen apart yesterday (Friday) in DC.

Just odd.....hyped-up a week ago, and now.....not so hyped-up.  Wonder what happened.

3.  Whole past year....just chatter on a continual basis of recession and inflation.  Then this week.....couple of business analysts hyped-up....RECESSION coming.  Makes one wonder if they were completely asleep in 2021, or if that 2021 was just a introduction phase.

4.  This 1000-percent tax idea that is openly discussed by the House on AR-15s?  I would imagine in a matter of an hour or two....the companies would quit making the AR-15, and start making the AR-30 (different style/look, maybe a shorter barrel).

5.  This week, I paused over this political chatter about creating Red Flag laws.....thinking.....well....between YouTube and TikTok....there's a whole bunch of idiot adults' doing things that ought that rank as mentally disordered behavior.  Shouldn't they go to the front of the line once Red Flag occurs?  

This is why I don't think any Red Flag law will remain on the books long.

6.  I noticed this week....someone asked the question in social media....are we at a point where the FBI is a threat to democracy?

The problem is....once you reach this level and 50-percent of the public believes it....it does not matter from that point on how the FBI behaves....it's lost trust and character.

From 2024 to 2028....I see a fair amount of dismantling coming from the FBI, and probably a quarter of the agents either retiring or just leaving.

7.  So I read this morning.....hot sauce and anything in glass bottles are the next shortage problem to occur.

Why the glass bottles?  Requires a fair amount of natural gas in the process, and those prices are escalating at a wild rate.

What this affects?  Booze, beer, wine and a fair amount of food.
