I was sitting and reading through a group of commentaries this past week, and there was a listing of the things that led onto 'spy-gate' (the fake dossier, the fake Russian involvement, etc), and there's this odd thing that you tended to notice. A number of people were already starting their 'contribution' to a fake Trump scandal situation already in the July to September period of 2015 (minimum of four months prior to the Iowa Caucus). We aren't just talking about journalists....we are talking about White House folks, and Justice Department/FBI folks.
The question is....did Hillary, her advisers, the White House insiders....all sit there and devise this scheme that they would help to lead a particular loser-candidate (like Mitt or McCain) to the point of just humberly losing the election?
So you'd need a handful of talking-dog journalists who were pro-GOP, to hype Trump a bit more than most of the others.
Then you'd need certain state primaries to really be set to Trump to easily win (early on in the primary).
Then you'd ensure that all the fake GOP pretenders went full-scale anti-Trump at the Convention point.
Then you'd bring on all these scandal items on Trump, with the dossier in full view.
Trump would either fold up or lose in a massive way.....like when they talked over the last four weeks prior to the election and journalists suggested that Hillary had a 90-percent chance of winning.
Then the shock occurred.....the 'intended' loser didn't lose? Yeah, that's the suggestion several folks have been making. What really helps here is that various pieces and parts that relate back to the FISA request documents involved various people....not one, two or three. The fact that Joe Biden might have known of the scheme? Well, that's been openly discussed but there's no proof.
The embarrassing thing about this scenario? Hillary did everything possible to ensure that Trump was the intended loser like McCain or Mitt, but didn't really think much about the type of individual that Trump is, or just how angry the general public is with regular standard politics.
If all of this were true, and this whole 'spy-gate' scandal started up in late 2015? It just makes you wonder about the quality of character for people working in the White House or supporting the Justice Department, and just how screwed-up they've become.

Letter of Appreciation Story
This is a page four type of story, over the Normandy celebration and Donald Trump.
So, in the midst of these VIP folks who showed up....there was some ceremony fixed up and someone had this remarkable 'certificate of appreciation' type letter fixed up. It basically said 'thanks' for 99nd time for the valiant efforts of men who landed from Canada, the US, and the UK on the 6th of June 1944. I say ''99nd time' because there's been a ceremony at Normandy Beach almost every five years since 1944, and a bunch of political folks (most all who had nothing to do with the landing) want to heap praise upon those who survived, and those who died.
So this 'certificate of appreciation' was put upon a stand and the VIP leaders were set to sign. You would think that it'd just be four nations that mattered in this signing (Canada, the US, the UK, and France).
Well....NO. There's roughly fifteen folks who showed up and wanted to have a chance to sign the document.
There were a whole bunch of flowery type words which consumed around 75-percent of this one-page letter/form. I looked at the form, and the results.
So these VIPs showed up and signed up at the bottom, and it's pretty messed up with couple of folks having limited space for their normal signature block. Then finally, Trump shows up.....with almost no space really to sign this worthless piece of paper which is produced every five years and has no legit value anymore. Rather than trying to write a smaller signature block.....he goes to the top of the letter and just writes at the very top of the form.
Folks freaked out.
Yep, he did the impossible.....he found room at the top for his signature block. The idiot who designed the appreciation letter? He could have made a 8-line thank-you appreciation letter and left tons of room at the bottom. They could have limited access to the four nations that mattered. Instead, they invented a mess, and Trump simply corrected their stupidity.
Part of the reason why Trump seems to be popular, if you think about it.....for years, there's been this element of stupidity that was allowed to bloom and be part of the wonderful world around us. We hated this stupidity and wanted it corrected. Day by day, he's shrinking the size and shape of the stupid people.

My Thoughts on Therapy Animals
Here's the thing....up until the late 1990s.....a couple of years after 'Desert Storm', some therapists came to this decision or idea, that therapy dogs/animals were the next best angle at getting to a person's 'problems'. Scientifically proven? No.....it's just that people react to this odd stimulus and it's a positive trend.
After this trend started, I didn't think much about it until one day at the Pentagon....they had this incident occur where two therapy dogs meet up on the grounds, and got into some 'fight'. After that, there was a review of this whole therapy dog regulation there, and people started to ask question about the science to this. Other than doctors saying it had positive things.....there was no real science to it.
So my theory is this, and it leads to three central elements:
1. Just in general, folks crave someone who cares. Oddly enough, a dog fills that void in different ways. The dog wants to be your 'buddy' or friend. The dog wants you to be happy. The dog wants you to walk them or brush them. The dog wants 'happy-snacks'. And the dog is pretty sure that you will house them in comfort (maybe give them the $29 dog-blanket, and allow them access to heated or cooled housing).
2. Lets just go ahead and admit this.....dogs are probably better companions than someone of the opposite sex. Dogs never have a bad day. Dogs don't whine about the boss. Dogs don't get speeding tickets and pout about the $150 fine. Dogs don't make scheduling demands about church-time, visits to their relatives, or suggest vacations to Aruba.
3. Finally, dogs can perceive a bad day, and come up to you with a stick or ball, and you spend half-a-hour getting that frustration out/gone.
I'm not going to say therapy dogs are the essential answer (you are simply swapping your lifestyle from one direction to another). Certainly, the dog is better than having therapy burro, or therapy elephant. But in the end, you might be better off with both a dog, and a spouse/GF/lady-friend.

The Border Story
It's not a front-page story, and it'll be at least six to ten weeks before the networks start to really discuss this. But over the two weeks.....a minimum of 500 African folks (we aren't talking US-blacks, but pure and absolute people from Africa) have been caught at the US border with Mexico. If you do the general statistical game, you can figure at least 2,000 others made it safely through the border.
How? No one says much yet. My guess is that someone in Africa (within the smuggling operations) found two or three older model freighters, and hatched up this dollars-for-a-seat idea (taking a guess of $2,000 a seat) for a two-week voyage across the Atlantic. They probably have a deal to land in Belize or Guatemala....cash to the local port manager....dock for 24 hours and refuel....then release off 1,500 to 2,000 'tourists'. The next day, they leave for Africa. Within four weeks, they will be back with another load.
All of this is dependent upon Mexico allowing non-Latin American folks to transit through and leave the country within X-number of days. If these folks were stranded, it presents problems, and likely increases tensions among the neighbors.
Making a big mess into a bigger mess? Yes. You could be talking about a dozen ships operating like this by the end of the year, and 10,000 Africans crossing the border weekly, on top of whatever number of Latinos were doing it before.
Where will they be heading once across the border? Unknown. I would take a guess that it'll be metropolitan type cities....like Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, LA, and Miami. Homeless? Probably so, but homeless in the US is better than staying in Africa. But here it gets interesting.....if you already had several million undocumented Latinos on the black-market of jobs, and you separate this out so that there are several hundred-thousand undocumented Africans also on the black-market job.....won't this whole system end up in chaos and physical violence? More than likely.

Gun Story
It came out this week that here....roughly four months after New Zealand enacted this 10-star gun legislation after the Christchurch mass shooting...to force the hand-over of most all guns in the country....a total of roughly 1.5-million guns....that so far, only about 530 guns were handed over to the cops.
Yep....530 handed over.
It's an amazing story. Almost every network hyped up the legislation and how this was going to resolve everything, and that virtually every single New Zealander was going to cooperate with this.
Adding to this.....around the fall of 2020, there's a national election set for New Zealand, and I'm willing to guess that at least one or two parties will ask for the repeal of the gun law.
So all this hype? Mostly for a failed program that the general public hasn't bought off on? Yep.
Yep....530 handed over.

Sashay
I noticed in the news this morning that AOC (our favorite Congress-lady) came to use the expression 'sashay' in comments yesterday.
It's not a typical expression or word used in modern-day America. In fact, you'd have to go and watch 1930s movie to hear it used a good bit.
Sashay typically means you are are out walking, and you've got some kind of weird hip and shoulder action, which might indicate you got 'lucky'.....won some poker game.....walking in some gaudy fashion to impress guys....or acting out some theatrical image.
For you older guys, this means your hip is swinging out in some funny way and your shoulder is literally throwing your elbow outwards.
How AOC came to view and toss that word out there? Unknown. She must have been watching a couple of 1930s movies and caught the word.

Weed Ice Cream
I was in Amsterdam for a few hours yesterday, and happened to walk through the city and see this ice cream stand.....with marijuana-type ice cream. I was sitting and contemplating the attraction to it.....especially on a hot day, and maybe having two or three of these ice cream 'cones'.
Getting doped up on ice cream? Maybe, but I'll bet you would have to consume at least three of these to get a buzz going. And the taste? Well....you just can't beat vanilla....at least that's my humble opinion.
The thing that gets me....my first trip to Amsterdam was back in 1984, and you look at the pro-weed commerce angle....there's about a 1,000-percent movement in creating literally thousands of products and all perfectly legal.
