Six Humble Thoughts

 1. I sat and watched the 24-minute interview of  Kamala Harris and MSNBC.  Two observations:  Harris really needs to avoid all taxation/economic questions.....zero sense or understanding.  Second, she was less goofy than normal (I'm not saying zero goofy.....just less goofy).

I think even 12-year old kids now realize her goofy-factor.   

2.  What this ports-strike chatter is all about?  Well....the port-workers have come to realize that modernization is finally coming....with robotics involved, and some of their work is going to disappear.  So the strike is mostly about preventing modernization (yeah, pretty odd strategy).

3.  This Mayor arrest in NY City to occur?  It'll happen next week where he turns himself  in.  Evidence?  He took bribes and the feds can prove this angle (the hint in the media is $10-million....whether true or not, unknown). 

The odd thing?  The mayor had been complaining for months about the lack of fed-money to cover hotels for migrants.  So Biden/Harris had a meeting scheduled with the Mayor....but just an hour or two prior to this DC meeting....the Feds raided the Mayor's house....so he departed DC without the meeting.

Other odd side-story?  Well....the Turks who were bribing....wanted jobs within the Mayor's 'team'.  No one says what they were planning to accomplish there.

4.  Some kind of 'tip-line' set up in Michigan....for kids to call in and report their parents for not having their guns secured.

Just thinking.....some parents are about dump their kids into the Michigan social system, and the kids might be shocked how crappy things turn out to be.

5.  There's speculation that Bill Gates is about to toss big BUCKS into a climate agenda....aimed at using news organizations as the propaganda unit.

Likely outcome?  Quicker demise of news sources for 2025/2026.  If you were stupid to be in college and working on a journalism degree....you might want to rethink your life strategy.  

6.  Science report....200 different cancer-causing chemicals found in food packaging.  All aimed at trigger higher rates of breast cancer.

Just motivates people to buy food NOT in a plastic package.

Sometimes, I Think About Perceptions

 

For 30 years, I've been a faithful 'addict' of Windex.  Working at various offices....I always had a bottle and paper towels around.

I looked at this comparison today.

Yeah, it's just odd....whoever design blue Mountain Dew....it is the same exact 'tint' as Windex.

Just odd.

Kids and Politics Chatter

 I sat and watched a CNN segment (admitting I still 'force' myself to get doses of slanted news), but this ended up being an odd story.

So CNN went and asked what I perceived to be 11-year old kids....how they felt about Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Odd question, and there is virtually NO value in the 'product'.

However, the kids gave blunt prospectives of both.....which made for an interesting segment.

As a kid in 1969 (when I was eleven)....if you'd asked the class who was president....I doubt if 50-percent could have answered the question.  If you'd asked me over my prospective of Nixon?  I would have answered he's the President, and gave no insight or plus/minus of the guy.

So you gaze at society and the news media.....what has changed over 55 years?  Well....there's just a lot of propaganda today, and even 11-year old kids recognize this factor.

If I had a household and three kids today?  I'd have to filter out news or constantly remind the kids that being skeptical is a worthily talent.

Here's the final observation.....in seven years, as these kids start to reach voting age.  They will have ZERO trust in the news media, and refuse to accept any propaganda.  How things will work then?  It just makes me wonder if CNN will be around.
