Observations

 1.  In 1977, as I graduated high school and left the farm....the top three priorities of people (99-percent)....were to: (1) get a job, (2) get a car, and (3) size up a relationship situation.  Today, out of every ten Americans, one person has a top priority of wanting you to accept them...as they identify as something.  

You just wonder how this transformation came (and went).

2.  I saw a comment yesterday...suggesting 'mob-driven-wrong-think' (MDWT) is a 'thing' now.  I sat for five minutes trying to imagine where this idea came from and how logical it is in the big world today.

3.  Just in general....when you buy any gun in the US and fill out the form...it'll ask about drug-use, and if you were a regular cocaine-user....the purchase would halt if you marked 'yes'.  

4.  For the record, there are two female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) which can play a part in the start-up and development of plain old depression problems.  

5.  Was Twitter ever worth what Elon paid for it?  As this whole thing came out and the 'offer' was staged....I looked at the stock, lack of dividends and lack of growth over the years.  Elon probably paid 50-percent more for Twitter than it was actually worth.  But I don't think he really cares about that segment of the story.

6.  Just an odd thing I noticed in California law business....there's a draft being circulated that would allow a kid (age 12 or older) to sign up to live in a 'group-home'....meaning they could exit the house or parent's control, if they desired this.  A better lifestyle or safer home?  I'm split on this.  Odds of passing?  Unknown.

7.  1980....rage in America was non-existent.  2023....rage pops up almost daily.

8.  Does it seem like more than 10,000 'experts' now exist on how to prescribe a peace deal between the Ukraine and Russia?

9.  If you asked 1,000 Americans to define stigmatizing....how many could accurately explain this in 40 words or less?

10.  For future reference, when you use the term 'useful idiot', it generally means a marginally intelligent person or someone rather naive....who can be pushed/manipulated into doing something for an agenda.   Note, the person could have a PhD, wear a uniform of some type, or even be a billionaire.

Observations: Watched Officer bodycam footqge of Nashville shooting, there seems to be 4 to 5 police officers at the location. The officers followed standard procedures for clearing a building and working their way upstairs to the shooters location, and neutralizing shooter. Makes you wonder what happened or didn't happen in Uvalde, TX, with over 100 police officers at the location, including State Troopers and FBI. I didn't see any of the Nashville police using hand sanitizer, hiding in the hallway or checking their cellphones. Things that make you go, Hmmmmm??!!!??

Only my general view, but I think Nashville Police HR...spent more time on recruitment, and brought in people who were more than qualified for the job. No one talks about the 4/5 individuals in this scenario, but I would imagine they had great resumes, and probable military time.

On Uvalde? I've read a good bit, and I think the local guys were friends of police-force leadership. I'm not saying they were lacking but they probably were trained to only obey orders. Even when the fed/state guys arrived...they seemed to be waiting for one single leader to direct them.

I've worked in military organizations which were guided by the one-boss concept, and others that you could wipe out the whole leadership landscape, and someone would assume the role required and continue on.

Nashville guys seem to have the 'script' in their mind and have practiced this before. I watched the video at least twice now, and they move like some Marine team...floor by floor....door by door. They were more than prepared for what was required.

Does the gait of she-it suggest something inserted into the lower colon of she-it?
A butt-plug or other toy?
