Four Humble Thoughts

 1. I tried to watch 20 minutes each of MSNBC and CNN coverage of Iowa's caucus 'end'.  

I got about 4 minutes into CNN before giving up.  It felt like the group of commentary folks were all in some cannabis-psychosis situation.  

I went to MSNBC, and made to around the 7 minute point before leaving the network.  In their case, it was a paranoia staged event....all having PTTD (Post-traumatic Trump disorder).

2.  If we continue through the primary season with Vivek campaigning for Trump?  Most of the political commentary folks will find people skeptical of them....not Vivek.

3.  It would appear that Biden has stepped up his campaign travel.  But I also see hints of him being more tired and run-down.

4.  John Kerry spoke yesterday and said his primary focus for remaining year....get Biden re-elected.  I'm not sure if this is a plus or minus. 

Babylon Bee Commentary

 At least once a day....I'll browse over the The Babylon Bee.  For those who haven't noticed it....the BB does fake news stories (100-percent fake).  The problem is....within 6 to 12 months....people tend to go back and notice that the fake news item has basically turned 'true'.

So today.....the headline was "Healthy High School Kid Fakes Mental Illness So He Can Fit In With Everyone Else."

I paused over it.

If you were 15 years old today, and in some average school....you'd probably note at least 3-percent of the kids in the school as 'mentally ill' (either through prescription pills, cannabis use, mania problems, sexual fetishes, psychosis or full-up paranoia).

If you fell into a group of five or six, and wanted some acceptance?  Well....yes, you would probably fake-up some mental illness or paranoid schizophrenia.  Maybe in the beginning.....you could just do it at school, and 'turn' it off when reaching home.  

The problem I see....as time goes  by....a year or two into this fake act....your mom is probably going to take you some clinic....to say your psychosis or mania issues are noticeable. You'd fake-talk your way with Doctor Betty, and she'd write something down to be in your permanent records.....you were bad-off....then giving you a prescription for some really good alternate-reality drugs.  If you were faking your fetishes or weirdness before....it'll be a permanent thing by this point.

So yeah, I might believe 50-percent of high school kids are in some form of psychosis.

I don't see this ending well.
