2028?

I sat this morning....asking Grok of Twitter to list the top 15 Democratic politicians currently.

After a while....I came to this pondering....it's almost like a collection of comedians, being given a six-pack of Mountain Dew and performing for some comedy show.  

The list? 

Barack Obama - Former President.

Bernie Sanders - Senator from Vermont. 

Kamala Harris - Former Vice President. 

Hakeem Jeffries - House Minority Leader. 

Elizabeth Warren - Senator from Massachusetts.  

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - Representative from New York.  

Bill Clinton - Former President. 

Pete Buttigieg - Former Transportation Secretary. 

Gretchen Whitmer - Governor of Michigan. 

Jon Ossoff - Senator from Georgia.   

Adam Schiff - Senator from California.

John Fetterman - Senator from Pennsylvania.

Josh Shapiro - Governor of Pennsylvania. 

Gavin Newsom - Governor of California.

Cory Booker - Senator from New Jersey. 

The comical  side to 2028?  Either the Presidential candidate or the VP candidate....has to be either trans, a woman, or gay guy.  

My Theory On Putin, Iran, Ukraine, And Israel

 I have this theory.  Somewhere along summer of 2023....with the Ukraine-Russia war in a dismal situation for Russia....I think that Putin turned to his 'friends' in Iran and asked them to put the US/EU into a bigger bind....lessening support for the Ukraine....by getting a Palestinian-Israel civil conflict going.  Iran would sect its Hamas folks onto Israel.

It didn't take a lot of encouragement, and the conflict started up.

About six months into this....Iran began to realize that Hamas was in a terrible situation....so Iran encouraged it's second folks...Hezbollah to also get involved.  That also...over six months....went bad.

So the Mullahs then went to  nuke discussions, and this got Israel to another level.  

As Israel engaged...the Mullahs then turned to Putin and asked for military help....discovering that they were limited to mostly empty talk.

The military folks in Iran with almost no options now?  Yeah.

Adding to this....Putin has played every single card in his 'deck', Trump had a pretty long talk with Putin several days prior to the bombing. I'm guessing he laid out some cards....letting oil-plus-up card laying on the table (positive for Putin if he does nothing much) be shown.

Zelensky in all that lays there?  I'm wondering about that.  

Trump ended the Pakistan-India conflict.  He has the right 'cards' being played to end the Iran-Israel conflict.  And maybe he has the 'cards' to get Putin to a table. Nobel Peace Prize guys?   Yeah....they might be cornered....giving Trump the award.

Ten Things I've Learned

 1.  Journalism, in pure form....probably died somewhere around 2000 to 2005.  

2.  Probably in the 1980s....5-percent of folks could recognize propaganda.  Today?  It's between 30 and 50 percent of the population.

3.  I learned this AM....that the American College of Cardiology no longer recommends diet and exercise for weight loss.  Go straight to Ozempic.  I guess I don't need to dump fatty food, cookies or ice cream.

4.  The Emerald City 'invention' (seen in the Wizard of Oz)....was 100-percent BS, and no matter how much people bullshit about it truly existing....there is no such place.

5.   It's amazing how many journalists now pop up and admit Joe Biden was 'out' for four years.  It's like they were on vacation for the whole era, and never observed anything.

6.  It appears....virtually every 'big' construction project in LA....is currently on shut-down status because of a lack of manpower.  Some probably won't restart in 2025.  Cause?  ICE raids.

7.  Probably five-percent of the nation is mentally unstable.  The question is....do you just pause things and force yourself to accept nutcases in the yard or at the coffee shop?  

8.  Numbers-wise....California is figured to have 2.7-million illegal migrants....giving them 5 extra Congressional Districts. The way that the math works....this balances out to the twenty-lowest states with representation.   So you can grasp why it's detrimental not to arrest or chase-out any illegals from the state.

9.  If you pay close attention to five minutes of WNBA action....there's at least five 'walks'....which are never called.  

10.  I think the whole of Democratic Party, across the nation, are now committed to  comedy...duplicating Saturday Night Live.
