Disinformation Board Dissolving Away?

 Well....there are four facts.  First, Nina Jancowitz was 'toxic' for the leadership position and had zero vetting by the White House.  Second, the minute you heard disinformation....you had this '1984' thing in your mind.  Third, no one could say what it's job was going to be...without grinning.  Finally, no one from the House/Senate seemed to know it was being created (or acted that way).

Nina out?  What they say.....she got an invite to the White House, and some understanding....the whole thing was going to be reviewed....with her out of the job. 

Disinformation bureau gone permanently?  No.....no one said that.

It'll come back in a year, with a totally different name....different angle.  I doubt that it'll be housed in Homeland Security.  

This whole thing having a 'smell' of being related to President Obama's former team?  Well....yeah, that's the funny thing about this whole thing, and the lack of chatting with the House or Senate?  That kinda funnels things back to the way that Obama's team worked.

Another name for it?  I'd just call it the '1984-Bureau' but I'm sure folks wouldn't approve of that.

Was Nina unqualified for this?  On a scale of one to ten, for senior management for a group like this?  I'd give her a '3-plus'.  She knew how to produce disinformation, but beyond that....no, she didn't have the maturity or qualifications.  

I will say.....creating this early in a mid-term year.....just had a funny 'smell' to it.  

Yeah, About distribution

 I sat and watched over the White House Press Secretary briefing yesterday.  Yeah, it's NOT something that I would have done five to ten years ago.  But I've got to the point of realizing they say some curious things.

Out of yesterday....I learned that President Biden (maybe he knows this.....maybe he hasn't the faintest idea over this).....has taken some kind of control over the US commercial sector ingredients required for use in making baby formula.  In some weird and unexplained way....Health-Human-Services (HHS) will now control distribution.

They didn't say HHS trucks will be hauling baby formula around America, but it begs questions. 

So I sat there and for an hour thinking over this.

If aspirin comes up next on the shortage list....will the president assume control over those ingredients and hand that to HHS for distribution?

If birth-control pills comes up next on the shortage list....will the president assume control over those ingredients and hand that to HHS for distribution?

If Diet-Pepsi comes up next on the shortage list....will the president assume control over those ingredients and hand that to HHS for distribution?

If cat-food comes up next on the shortage list....will the president assume control over those ingredients and hand that to HHS for distribution?

If beer comes up next on the shortage list....will the president assume control over those ingredients and hand that to HHS for distribution?

It begs a lot of questions.....but here's the odd thing.  In the 1930s/1940s/1950/1960s in the USSR.....this was the Soviet thing to do.  It was plain regular communism, with central control from Moscow.  

I doubt if President Biden grasps this.....but sooner or later, some reporter will ask the blunt question.....how did all of this shortage stuff start up?

A Random Thought

 I was sitting and reading over observations by people on Twitter....about how you get to the point of being 'extreme-right-wing'.

Finally, someone made the thought.....you don't need to do much of anything.  Just sit quietly for five years, and you as a moderate today.....will be measured up to be 'extreme-right-wing', without any action at all.

I would pretty much agree with that thought.

Maybe it wouldn't have been that way in the 1980s/1990s, but we've evolved into a different society.

Just having some associate sick or ill, and you said to them today....you'd pray for them, it's likely you'd trigger some violent leftist fit.

Offering up a cookie from your 'stash' to some visiting kid and his mother.....could trigger some violent leftist fit.

We are a society on the fringe of civil conflict, and most of us didn't do much to reach that stage.

Why I Wouldn't Teach

 Years ago, after the Air Force career, for a brief week or two....I contemplated the teaching profession.  Various angles were being created in the late 1990s to 'herd' military members with degrees to remote/rural school districts.  I decided to skip that deal.

Look at things today.....it's a no-win possibility.  

As fall would approach and the new school year would arrive.....in 2022, I'd expect 24 students:

1.  A  CIS guy.

2. A lesbian who dresses in wrestling attire.

3.  Two transgender girls.

4.  A witch.

5.  A carbon copy of Elon Musk.

6.  A 12-hour-a-day-gamer.

7.  A female Elvis impersonator.

8.  A alcoholic girl.

9.  Some kid who claims he's invisible.

10. At least one kid who is a  drug-addict by age 14.

11.  Some girl who dresses as Batwoman, and tongue-kisses everyone in the class.

12. Some boy who claims he's the son of Satan.

13.  Some boy who claims he's 50-percent Neanderthal, 50-percent Viking, and 50-percent Elf.

14. A voodoo priest.

15.  Some kid who claims he came from another planet and is an alien.

16.  Some girl who shows up after drinking four espressos for breakfast, and downing two Mountain Dews.....hyped-up on caffeine for the first three hours.

17.  Some girl who is paranoid schizophrenic, talking to invisible friends, and has shaved her head.

18. Some girl who suffers from Arithmophobia (fear of numbers) and Papyrophobia (fear of paper).  Testing is impossible with this one.

19. Some boy who has been admitted six times to mental clinics, and continually released after getting back on medication.  

20. Some boy who only wears shorts and trenchcoats (no shirts), with combat boots.

21.  Some boy who is apparently having a relationship with a 44-year old female school-bus driver, and seems to only read romance novels.  

22. Some girl who claims she bundled up four different demons inside of herself, and a new character seems to emerge every hour. 

23.  Some boy who dresses like Captain Jack Sparrow (the pirate) and sings immoral pirate songs throughout the class. 

24.  Some girl who says she 'heals' people....wanting to constantly touch sick members of the class to fix their problems.

This is not a sane world, and the school system is screwed once you reach this many 'nutcases'.
