Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  This appearance yesterday of Gov Newsom (Cal-D).....at DEVOS yesterday.....was supposed to be some moment to show his 'world-status'.  

Well...he did get interviewed by US media but the rest of his 'gain' plan mostly failed.  Curiously, a poll came out yesterday to say he is the number one candidate for 2028's presidential election.

If I had to pick from the past 40 years....the least prepared and lacking candidate for either party....Newsom is that guy.....but he has a great barber, and he does appear like 'Ken' (from Barbie-fame).

2.  Just odd....someone did a poll and suggested we end daylight-savings time....so you had 4 choices: no-change, no-opinion, stick with just regular time, stick with just savings time.

I would assume...99-percent would have said to stick with stick  with regular time.  Well....I was wrong on polling.

Roughly 15-percent said keep going with the time-change....10-percent had no real opinion, and then it was pretty well divided (50-50)with going to  regular time, or going with savings time.

My prediction....nothing changes....we just keep going.

3.  Just an  odd point  I noticed yesterday...from SF news....they say between the city, charities, and foundations....almost one-billion dollars is spent  on homelessness.  There's no sign that anyone benefited.

4.  This Clinton (Bill and Hillary) contempt situation?

By saying 'no'....they won't attend a House mandated Q-and-A....they will be dragged into court.  Based on what I've seen....this court situation might take  less than one day.  Unless some deal occurs....I'm guessing the contempt  lands them for 4 to 6 months in some fed-jail.

The deal?  Well...Hillary might offer to answer one question...what  was the problem in Libya with the dead ambassador.  Then she'd lay out....the Obama team gave out some US weapons  which ended up in Afghanistan and used against the US Army.

One brief story....no more than 60 minutes on a stand, and she gets Bill and herself out of trouble.

5. Finally, just odd numbers....so far for deporting  folks.....Trump has only achieved 35-percent of what Obama  did....and only 8-percent of what Bill Clinton did. 

People (from left/right) seem hyped-up...mostly over a marginal performance (so far).
