Joe, Kam and This Atlanta Speech

 I sat and watched the 35-odd minute speech by President Biden and VP Harris....to press on with the Voting Rights Bill.

So five observations:

1.  Did Joe Biden really say 'President Harris'?  Yeah.

2.  I think the speech might have made sense in 1968.....but here in 2022....it just doesn't make a lot of sense.

3.  This hype for a act for that doesn't to be in the top ten priorities of Democrats?  This is the odd part of the story.  This is like the federal government riding in on 'white horses' to save the poor rancher woman.....who left 25 years ago for better surroundings.  

4.  The fact that Stacey Abrams wasn't there?  Either she's toxic to Joe's program, or Joe is toxic to Abram's program.  

5.  Any well known black Georgia civil rights people in attendance?  Well....you didn't see a one.  That begs questions. 

Xanax Politics

 In the real world....there is this drug called Xanax (Alprazolam), which is usually given out as a prescription to help treat anxiety and panic disorder.

 It belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves to give you a seemingly effective calm feeling.

In general, as long as you don't consume alcohol, mix other drugs with it, or get into massive chaos to double up your stress....it works.

The fact that it only works six to ten hours?  Well....you kinda time your dose....to get maximum effect.

If you decide it's crappy....well....you gotta talk to the doctor because getting 'off' Xanax is pretty screwed-up and has potential problems.  Some people will tell you....from the day they said 'enough'....it took a minimum of six months to feel safe.

Potential side-effects?  

You might feel light-headed (dizzy)....like the night when you discovered Hillary Clinton lost the election.  

Your risk-taking views on life might increase, where you actually sit and talk to conservatives and they seem to make sense all of a sudden.  

You might hallucinate to some degree (thinking you were in Malibu with a Baywatch-Democratic mayor on your arm, then it dissolves into a new hallucination where it's really a transgender politician who seems to talk like that Senator Cruz guy).  

You might feel sudden rushes of energy....like you think you can fix every pothole in your town, or cure America of Covid by thrusting masks at people.  

You might have these thoughts of agitation occur where the slightest comment by a conservative guy sets you off and makes you identify him as 'orange-man'.  

You might seem confused......like why did Doctor Fucci seem to make sense last month,  and today seems like a 4th grade kid?  

The question is....are we consuming imaginary Xanax enough....that it screws up our reality?  

Fact: Just for the record, if you were thinking about that Parkland School Shooting of 2018, with that Cruz kid....wondering if he did Xanax?  Well....he didn't have any problem admitting he used it.  

$548-Million

 The US government pays out around $548-million now (yearly) to informants.  I sat and looked at the amount....pretty hefty amount.

This includes all of the various agencies.  

Are there people pulling in $100k a year?  Well....no one really suggests that.  There's just this funnel and if you provide information to some agency....you might be getting a regular check of some amount.  

Could you get check #1 from the FBI, and check #2 from the DEA?  Well....no one really says it's impossible.
