Two Things I Noticed

 1.  Mark Hamill (Star Wars fame) said yesterday....Former President Donald Trump incited a “violent insurrection” and “coup”....while talking on the 6th of January 2021.

If you watch various news pieces or read enough on the internet, throughout 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.....probably over 1,000 noted personalities called for insurrection/coup events on a daily basis.  Hamill is marginally correct, but missed the other 5,000,000 incite-events.

2.  The same people who worry about the US spending billions and billions without proper accounting.....now seem worried about the billions and billions being spent on the Ukraine....without proper accounting.  Maybe they have a point, but they didn't get far on this 'to-do' list.

This Trend of Bringing Kids to 'Drag' Shows

 If you'd suggested five years ago that some trend would start up and seven-year-old kids would be taken into a bar....to watch a 'drag' show, most folks would have laughed.  Yet, here we are.

So to my three key points:

1.  If you think this is ethically OK or permissible.....then it shouldn't be a big deal to drag the seven-year-old to a topless bar, a hard-rated 'R' movie, or viewing of some adult-movie.

2.  If the ten-year-old kid goes and then responds that he wants to drive the car home, or get a machete, or marry up with the lunchroom lady....that shouldn't be a big deal.....right?

3.  Finally, it just seems odd that the 'drag' folks don't seem bothered by this, or laying down some 'no' situations.  

What'll happen in 2023?  I suspect a dozen states will have a process where parents are under some threat of losing their kids because of stupid behavior like this.  The odds that the Democratic Party will make this some national agenda?  If I were a working-class typical Democratic voter....I'd start shaking my head over this direction....something seriously wrong.
