What McCarthy Had To Promise?

 Well.....it's a harsh reality for him.  

He has to abide and promise to end Covid mandates/funding, which is going to be near impossible to carry out.  

He has to allow 72 hours for any bill to be introduced and read.....which will also be near impossible.

The border plan?  The Republicans have goofed around for two years and you might even count the previous four under Trump....as a BS-era where they just said wild stuff and did nothing.  

Odds of McCarthy losing his status by the end of 2024?  I'd give it a 40-percent chance of happening.  

In the end, this was mostly just a comedy show.  

This Past Week

 I noticed four curious things:

1.  Some movie theater numbers came out.  Theater usage?  Down by almost 50-percent.  

It's not just Covid 'fear'....it also involves crappy 'woke' movies, and the recession itself.  

Will the theater industry survive?  I personally have my doubts.  The older places will probably close, and cities of 20,000 will be lucky to have a theater.

2.  Hunter's 'baby-mama' (the last lady he impregnated) has a court case in Arkansas brewing.  Apparently, some of this artwork he has sold....went to anonymous buyers, with some secrecy over how much they really paid.  The 'baby-mama' gal says 'nope'....this information has to be put on the table.  

Might be a curious episode to watch, and find out who buys his art.

3.  Twitter came up and admitted that their organization (for several years) was grossly exaggerating Russian influence on people....to make journalists and the Democratic leadership in DC happy.

So, in the end....there was no real Russian 'threat'?  Yeah.

All those speeches, the endless hours of hype from CNN.....all of this was just faked-up?  Yeah.

4.  This past week, I concluded my binge-watch of the 30-odd episodes of Travelers (science-fiction series).  Originally, three years ago....I watched episode one and was left in a daze with the storyline.  I turned it off.  This past month....I went back and watched episode 1, 2 and 3 in a row.

It does make sense, but episode 1 was done in such a crappy fashion.....I would imagine most people gave up.  

I will recommend the series, but it's a pretty wild scenario.
