Ten Thoughts

 1.  This NY City mayor primary with Democrat Zohran Mamdani winning?

Look, if you add up the opposition he rant against.....roughly 55 percent of folks voted for someone else from the Dem choices.  Blacks enthusiastic for guy?  No.

Being a former rapper, and media 'click'....doesn't really amount to much experience.  

However....NYers are crazy, and it's possible that they'd go and elect a comedian just to make a point....then watch 500,000 residents up and leave over 2026.

2.  Did Joe Biden really 'pick' KBJ for the Supreme Court, or was she already on a short-list of Barak Obama back in 2015/2016?  

I'm willing to bet Obama personally met her at least once or twice and he pushed Joe's team to select her.

3.  I'm having mute-finger problems.....as much as I try to watch CNN, CBS, MSNBC, and Fox....I average 16 mutes per news-hour.  

4.  If this NY City idea of city-run grocery stores makes sense....why can't city-run bars be next...with no-name beer labels, and 1-dollar  pitchers of beer returning (like the old Air Force NCO clubs used to offer)?

5.  I sat the other day listening to a podcast, and the term....The Great Tribulation....came up.

So for reference, this is a term in Christian eschatology referring to a future period of intense suffering, persecution, and divine judgment, often tied to end-times prophecy.   The suggestion was...since 2020....with the Biden era, the riots, violence and crazy antics going on....we are in the midst of Great Tribulation.

Where did this come from?  Well....biblical texts...Matthew 24:21, where Jesus describes a time of "great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be," and Revelation 7:14, which mentions a "great tribulation" from which a multitude emerges. The concept is rooted in the Greek word thlipsis, meaning affliction, distress, or oppression, often intensified by the adjective "great".

After a fair amount of review....rationally thinking over this.....I just can't describe reality as INTENSE suffering or DIVINE judgement.  McDonalds still sells the rib sandwich....the Braves doing OK....both Alabama and Auburn football seems on track....God intervened to turn Trumps head last summer....and I just can't see myself suffering much.

6.  Based on Diddy's remaining charges....to be honest....of the five possible charges....it's still pretty likely that he gets a minimum of 10 years in prison, but out in 7 years.

7.  If you show the text term of colonizers to guys over 60.....they ID on colon first, and think you are talking about some stool softner.  So a conversation with a 16-year old kid won't go far.

8.   I use the term 'scam' probably five to ten times a week now.  Prior to 1990....I probably used the term three times a year. 

9.  If CNN had covered the Battle of the Alamo (from February 23 to March 6, 1836), in San Antonio, Texas.  They would have said Mexican forces, led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna, had permanently took down the Alamo mission....finally winning the 'war'.

10.  Zohran Mamdani comment on emptying jails:  "Violence is an artificial construct."

Not sure if he's ever been assaulted or beaten up....usually, it's not some artificial feeling.
