Observations: 23 March 2022

 1.  This necessity to admit the Hunter Biden laptop....ease into a court situation by the fall, and deliver Joe Biden to a January 2023 impeachment scenario?  

I would suggest that various people from the Obama administration are now worried that certain matters from the 2008 to 2016 period will get dragged out into court.  A lot of Americans will end up asking why CNN, NPR, or the NY Times just failed to investigate or discuss this five to ten years ago.

2.  Some analysts are discussing a 25-percent drop in new home 'sales' by late summer.  A lot of this is simply spiraling economic matters and worry by the general public.

3.  NY Post says Hillary Clinton tested positive for Covid.  Her only comment.....'mild symptoms'.  Bill?  Tested and negative.

4.  This past week....a discussion started up over frustrations with the 2020/2021 census.  Some folks have suggested that what we've been using for decades is what I'd call census-lite, and they are asking for something that I'd refer to as census-XXL.

In simple terms....they want the census guy to come up to the front porch, and ask a number of questions which got into personal things.  Then this would somehow be converted into a government database.

To be blunt, the census was never designed in a way to be perfect or effective.  If you asked the PhD guys.....they'd grin and mostly say it's about 80-to-90 percent accurate.

The problem is.....do you want some guy asking what you paid for your house, your monthly grocery bill, your booze consumption on a weekly basis, the horsepower of your vehicles, or sexual preferences?

But I'll add this view....what if fifty percent of us just decided to make up fake data?  You know....admit we consume sixteen bottles of Jack Daniels per month...admit that we've been married nine times.....admit that we pay $9 a month for the rent....and admit that we prefer sex mostly with alien gals from the planet Fleetwood.

Would the census then just go away?

5.  Not that we care, but the Shanghai Disneyland shut down.....over Covid.  If you asked me the odds of re-opening at any point in 2022?  I'd say it's mostly 50-50.  A lot of Chinese now carry around a bag of two-days of food....because of the fear of being caught in some panic situation.....where 20,000 people in some fest or show....have to be tested before being allowed to exit.

6.  Finally, not that I care.....but it's another week that Colin Kaepernick was not hired to quarterback anywhere.  Frankly, I don't understand why people want to discuss the matter anymore.
