Five Observations

 1.  Trying to suggest that 2 and 2 can equal five....usually doesn't work if you are using two beers and two beers....this can only result in zero at the end.

2.  Just seems odd....every time some meteor strikes the Earth or some eruption destroys half the planet.....the vast amount of animal life goes extinct, and then some 'reset-clock' starts up, and these damn snakes and bears all come back.

3.  Some people probably need forty hours of church a week....and some folks probably need 8 minutes.

4.  Generally, if you start talking how you are anti-hate....after an hour of stupid chatter, you've probably made the case that you have a lot of hate built up in your system.

5.  People who say they are literally shaking....probably haven't ever ridden a pony stung by a bee.  

Movies That Probably Require Trigger-Warnings?

I sat and read a commentary this past week over movies that need trigger warnings, and 'Gone With The Wind' came up.  Someone suggested that 10-percent of 18-year old kids (college kids)....would need a 'trigger-warning'.

I contemplated this.

'Kelly's Heroes', 'Ben-Hur', and 'Pale Rider'?  They would all require a trigger-warning.

To be honest, I suspect you'd have to attach a warning to 95-percent of movies made prior to WW II. 

True Grit I or II?  Both need trigger-warnings.

Stagecoach from 1939?  Yeah, you'd need a trigger-warning.

The Searchers? You'd need a double or triple trigger-warning for it.

That stupid Pacific Rim monster movie?  Yeah, there's a need for a trigger-warning for it.

That 1958 7th Voyage of Sinbad, with so much fake/bad acting?  Yeah....trigger-warming for the monster stuff.

Gremlins?  It might pass without a trigger-warning.  

The problem I have....so many people with that state of fragility existing....how can we help these poor people as they advance into their 30s, 40s and 50s with all the various movies that exist?  

Fifteen Things That I Think Will Be Legit By The End of 2024

 1.  Paranoid Schizophrenia will be considered 'normal' and acceptable....with people readily identifying their illusionary friends, and providing information on non-existent trips that they've made to Paris or London.

2.  1,000 milligrams of caffeine (400 is considered now the max you should consume in one day, at 5 cups of coffee).....will be packaged in some single cup of energy drink.  At least one out of a hundred who consume this....will have a heart attack and require a visit to the clinic to detox out of the 'high'.

3.  It'll be established that more than 2,000 people are faking-up a personality disorder....claiming to be agents of the CIA.  Oddly, only 30 people are claiming to be fake FBI agents.  

4.  Democrats will admit that prosecuting Trump....resulted in $20-million campaign dollars coming in while on this agenda.  

5.  Senator John Fetterman mostly admits that his stroke and the ill-health of 2022....was mostly due to various drugs he was taking and each having a counter-effect on his general health....in a negative way.  

6.  At least a quarter of all NPR employees will be noted on some type of therapy over the negativity of the network and their 'product-brand'.

7.  California math experts realize that more than 50-percent of the 12th-grade students in 2024....can't perform beyond 7th grade math....and have no explanation how this occurred.

8.  Russia announces that the Roswell UFO incident....was faked-up by them, and was just a hoax.      It'll be argued by the Pentagon that this is false....yet no one believes them.....with people believing more in Putin/the Kremlin.

9.  Some brand of men's underwear will be introduced as a womens-mens 'panty' and sell remarkably well among affluent men (with money).  

10.  A new word will be invented for 'penis' for transwomen....noting theirs is a 'venis'.  The word will be used daily by NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN.

11.  Antifa-Atlanta police confrontations will occur throughout all of 2023 and 2024, with more than thirty Antifa team-members dead by the end of 2024.  Atlanta police will eventually be ordered to stand down, and a 48-hour strike will occur where no police report for duty.

12.  A Presidential EO will occur by the end of 2024....where Census efforts are mandated in asking people if they descend down from pre-1865 slaves, in order to gear up for reparations chatter.  Shockingly, more than 95-percent of Americans respond 'yes'.  More than 200-million Americans will have some faked-up family history discussing their past ancestors coming from the Congo, or some jungle-clearing.  

13.  At least 50-percent of universities in the US will admit that they are faking-up grades and that some graduates are barely able to function at the high-school level....let along, the university level.  In exchange for the faked-up diploma....the debt handed to the 'idiot' will be in the $60,000 or more.  HR staffs are now fearful of bringing in idiots to fill empty positions.

14.  LGBTQ-plus....will eventually add Incels as a 'team-member'.

15.  Unwoke seminars or deprograming episodes will be marketed as weekend-episodes, so that people can feel free of the 'burden'.  At some point in 2024, more than 25,000 Americans on one single weekend are being released from their 'sins'/burden.  

Q-and-A

 1. This chatter from the FDIC to make 'big' banks pay a special assessment?

What the FDIC said was that it was going to 'save' the $250,000 in the two banks that failed, and it was beyond the funding of FDIC.  What the FDIC failed to say....where the extra money would come from or what this special assessment would amount to, or clearly define 'big'.

Just a billion or two with the incoming assessment?  I would imagine that it gets up into the 10 to 20 billion a year....so you'd have to have fees set up....where big account people would pay for services.  I'm just guessing here but if you were with some 'big' bank and had a 40-million account...maybe all in a CD....you'd probably pay a quarter-million a year for fees (over what you pay now).  

Would people cooperate?  I have my doubts.  This might be the point where you took big cash to Canada, or some digital-money situation.  

But here's the thing....FDIC will cover the folks in big banks with accounts over $250,000....which is something that you never thought they'd do.

2.  Republican Senators talking up draft to ID drug cartels as terror organizations?

Won't pass....don't worry.  One day....it will occur, and some 'war' will start up across into Mexico, and the cartels will come to visit various states with attacks on politicians.   Then our whole fractured society will fall into disarray....having a massive war in Mexico and along the border....over drugs (nothing else).
