"As of this morning every single “pregnant person” in 5500 years of recorded human history was a biological woman."
-- Marco Rubio
Begs to this whole discussion going on....where political folks can't define a woman, and it starts to sound like they are mentally challenged (we have other terms in the south but this probably is more appropriate).
1. What's the mid-terms really about?
Four things: gasoline cost, recession, Democrats unable to define over 20 things in a public forum, and abortion. Here's the chief problem....except for abortion...it's the worst position for the Democratic Party in thirty-odd years.
2. How are Joe and Jill Biden getting all of these screwed-up speech scripts?
Maybe just plain bad luck....but you have to wonder about the people who support the couple in the White House and their resumes. Maybe these folks aren't that qualified for the work required.
3. Explaining this 10-year old rape/abortion thing in Ohio?
Well....a illegal alien raped a 10-year old Ohio girl. Local authorities did everything possible not to report this up to the state AG or state authorities. Someone on President Biden's team heard about half the story, and it was appropriate for the abortion chatter....not grasping it was an illegal alien story.
4. How long will this Twitter legal case drag on?
Well....if you count appeals, and eventually getting to the Supreme Court....probably four years. Most of the Twitter board will have left and gone into some hiding situation in Costa Rica by that point.
Last on the list? The Union Station in DC. Twice in my life (2010 and 2013) I was in the station.
Generally, the whole station is a drug sales 'candyland'.
You sit and sip through a coffee and would notice at least five to ten drug dudes operating, within fifty feet of the shop.
No fear of the police.
The necessity of operating within the station? I pondered upon that. I don't think they wanted to be outside of the station, or in the subway. It just seemed to me that various 'friends' were alerting them when cops were positioned.
1. I noticed today that BMW is now producing cars with heated seats as a normal part of the car (not an option). But as part of this.....you need to either make a one-time payment, a yearly payment, or a month-by-month payment (subscription).
Month-by-month? $18.
So, you could subscribe for October to March....then cancel the subscription for six months....then turn it back on. All hooked up to some monthly service update done by the internet to your car and the company.
2. I sat and watched the exchange between Republican Senator Hawley and this Berkley law professor.
More or less....the law professor wanted you to believe that trans women (former men) can come up and get pregnant. Hawley didn't really buy off on the idea.
My humble view....if you were a kid paying $120,000 for a law degree in California....you might want to re-evaluate the value of your degree, and gauge just how much BS you have to believe....to earn a 'A' or get a diploma.
3. For some reason, after Jill Biden's talk on tacos.....I seem to wake up each morning, with a desire for a breakfast taco. To be honest though....I've had just one in my life and I wasn't that impressed by breakfast tacos.
4. Twitter lawyered-up and started their case in Delaware.
I doubt if the court will start anytime in the next 90 days, and meanwhile....the stock will drop (today at $34.06) to probably around $28 by day one of the court episode. I expect a stock-holder lawsuit also to start up, and aim at the board/CEO.
5. I will predict that the 6-Jan hearing business will continue on until probably two weeks prior to the mid-term election. The biggest and juiciest part of the hearing? Probably to come on the final day.
6. The Ukraine folks have a daily 'count' on Russian losses. Presently, Ukraine claims they've destroyed or disabled 1,649 tanks (as of Monday). If true....they've probably gone through the whole production of tanks in the past 20 years....then gone to the production level of the 1990s....then gone to the production level of the 1980s....then gone to the production level of the 1970s. So most of what's left are either 'show-pieces' of the new stuff, or 1950s technology manufactured in the 1960s.
7. When you stand and marvel at one of these giant wind-turbines generating electricity....you need to visualize that they have a 25-year lifecycle, and are then taken down for safety reasons.
So....here's the harsh reality....there's 900 tons of steel in the view, with around 2k to 2.5k tons concrete to hold it steady.
There's also around 45 tons of plastic which is non-recyclable.
Then the whole thing requires 700 gallons of oil for the gearing system....each single year.
At the end....it's 'dropped' and carried off to some pit, to be buried. Eventually, I expect these to be loaded on barges and dumped into the Atlantic Ocean.
8. Some people are starting to openly discuss how Congressmen and Senators seem like used-car dealers.....selling you something with vague promises. Those folks just aren't interested in a Dodge Polara.
1. Did Jill Biden actually say: Hispanics are “as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio?" Yes. Whoever writes Joe's speeches.....probably wrote this piece.
2. On the high-side....it's projected to be around 255 seats that the Republicans win in November. Personally, I think that's extremely high.
3. News says that Hunter Biden spent $30,000 over five months....just on hookers.
4. Some news folks are suggesting that Joe Biden is delaying this trip to the Middle East....to get additional 'rest'. So this 'jet-lag' business is a drain on his stamina? It's not clear.
5. Noticed the Air Force saying it's going to drastically slow down promotion cycles, because a high degree of personnel are not capable of grasping their professions. I could have suggested that problem existing back in the 1990s. You had a high degree of people at the eight-year point....supervising five or six people, and their knowledge/skill level was that of a three-year individual. One of my five big slams of the Air Force.
Have you noticed:
- people that want to be validated, every single day?
- people seeking an identity, every single day?
- people seeking to followers.....rather than leaders, every single day?
- people who want meaning or the illusionary feeling of meaning...in their life, every single day?
- people wanting unique differences from normal people, or wanting unusual doctrines/beliefs, to be obviously more elite than regular people, every single day?
- people pretty open and happy to be brain-washed, every single day?
- people openly critical of others, and seizing upon blame to entertain, every single day?
In the old days, we referred to these people as members of a cult....but today....they would be woke-people.
I probably read through five different scenarios this past weekend....on how President Biden would exit shortly after the November election.....due to mental decline.
The odds of this? No one can project...it might be a 50-50 situation.
There are three central elements of this:
1. It's very likely to be an impeachment starting in January with a new House group (Republicans in charge). If he resigned....impeachment would not occur.
2. No matter what he does....at least one hearing (maybe more) will occur with Hunter. I suspect in his mind....he believes he can pardon Hunter enough on the exit....to prevent any jail-time.
3. Finally, there is the issue of Harris moving up, and a new VP to be picked. If Joe resigns after Thanksgiving....there's ample time to select and have the Senate (with current votes) to approve the individual. After Christmas resignation? There be more problems on who she'd pick.
Choices? John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Mark Udall. I don't think the active Senator group will be included. There might be some governors on the short list.
Improving public support? Look....Hunter has a dozen issues brewing and it's hard to see how this 'retreat' would resolve anything. Also....it's not like with Harris....you get a clean deck of cards, and just start over..
