Kim Jong-un Dead?

 About 3 days ago....the story started up....he'd had a health issue...went into a coma, and gotten flown into China for care....dying there (so the story goes).

Gov't of North Korea....so far....no comment.

Why?  They did publish a pic today....of a guy who looks like Kim.  Might be recent.....might be from a year ago.

If he were dead?  They need a 40-page script to detail his passing and his final hours.  His sister in charge?  Well....that's the angle of the problem.....I think the leadership wants to bypass her.

Three Observations

 1.  I watch around 30 min a day of the France riot BS.  

Just odd....it seems that the French protester crowd has some type of demand for more socialism....to resolve the mess created by the current socialism.

Someone needs to invent socialism-plus.

2.  Frank Luntz (the polling expert) did a interview and readily admits....Trump-voters, for the most part....if approached and asked about their feelings...will turn and walk away....giving no indication of how they feel.

Luntz admits....poll-folks have never encountered this problem before.  Asked to explain it....he says these people don't believe poll organizations are being 'honest'.

3.  The only difference between Russia's Putin and Stalin?  At the 30-day point of the war....where failure was obvious....Stalin would have brought in the top general of the invasion force and had him shot....repeating this every thirty days until the war was won.

The Omar Wine 'Drama'

 So it's a weird story.  I would the FBI guys on this part of the Ilhan Omar investigation are shaking their heads.

Omar and the husband....about seven years ago....start a wine company....selling one type of wine (labeled 'The Devil's Lie'). First year or two....nothing much to brag about. Sales did started to pick up.

The problem....no one can show much over actual wine (no vineyards).  They can show wine bottles procured....wine boxes shipped.  But liquids such as wine.

It just appears to be a money-laundering operation....where someone had cash but no way to move it.   So they bought empty wine bottles (of value).

The other end of this story?  Well....you have to start wondering about a lot of wine companies in California....if they run fake wine sales....to help laundry money?

Case now involving the husband too?  Yeah....oddly, he's a participant in the mess.  

Q-and-A: NO KINGS?

 1.  What's the best way to defeat kings at any level?

2nd Amendment....guns and bullets.  

2.  When the news media shows images of the NO KINGs protest...what do you see?

White folks (probably 99-percent).....majority of women (60-percent)....half the crowd being over age 50.

3.  Reasoning to hype NO KINGs right now?

Election in 3 weeks....to get people in some thrilled state of mind.

4.  Chief chatter of a interviewed NO KINGs guy/gal?

Get Trump.  Oddly....it revolves around this....Trump this....Trump that.

5.  Has there been other NO KINGs movements?

If you go back to the Andrew Jackson period....YES.  Oddly, this was created by the Whig Party (the Republicans), and it solidified the party 'brand'.  

You can also review the Lincoln and FDR periods....to find lesser movements/success. Lincoln's NO KINGs element was created by southern Democrats....while FDR's were Republican in nature.

6.  Is there a public perception problem?

If you had a hundred adults at some protest and asked them to name one king (other than Trump)....Five or six would probably name King Herrod (Jesus period)....with a dozen suggesting that Hitler/Mussolini both were kings.  At least 20 folks would name King Kong.   At least one would name King Louie....the  orangutan “king” of the jungle in The Jungle Book.  And at least five would name Aerys II Targaryen (who was known as the “Mad King”), from Game of Thrones.

7.  Will the NO KINGs crowd cross over.....as Trump leaves, and be anti-Rubio/anti-Vance?

I would require three shots of bourbon to ponder this idea.  In the case of Rubio and his humor....he'd likely announce himself in some king-role....with a baseball hat designed as a crown.  Cubans would go crazy over the 'brand'.

Just An Odd Thought Over Ilhan Omar's Brother-Marriage

 When 'dad' and the family arrived in the US....this 'brother (Elmi) was not listed as a family member (1995).

This brother-story pops up later....Feb 2009 (ten years after Ilhan enters the US (she's now late 20s).

I think 'dad' talked Ilhan into a family favor....after he tried to suggest/sell the idea of Elmi being his son (maybe he had NO relationship to 'dad' or Ilhan)....that failed.  So the cranked-up paperwork marriage was the next step.

Why Ilhan can't really admit any of this?  Well....lot of papers were signed in a fraudulent way.....by 'dad', Ilhan, and Elmi.  

Another odd piece to this...if Elmi were a actual brother....there's thousands of Somalia women around by 2009, from which he could have just paid one of them with a green-card to marry....instead of the sister.

Five Things I Wonder About

 1.  Kimberly Guilfoyle, former US Ambassador to Greece.  I wonder if she spends 40 hours a week.....buying worthless crap with credit cards, and trying to hype-up sexually some dimwit guy to pay for the crap bought.  Then I wonder....what idiot on the Trump team suggested this job for her?

2.  I wonder (on next Sunday) if this NFL game scheduled in Paris will occur, and the mostly alternate site (I suspect Frankfurt).  

3.  I wonder if anyone from the NBA....is watching WNBA games, and statistically counting turning-the-ball over, or traveling.  I wonder if the violations per game....of the two sloppy habits...exceeds 100 on average.

4.  I wonder if Ilhan Omar is possibly NOT related to the brother or the father.

5.  I wonder about the French-riot-'kids', and if they are of such a low IQ....that education isn't really necessary.

Five Things I've Noticed

 1. Ilhan Omar's lawyer has demanded her cellphone and passport back.  Oddly, some BS story has started up....that she has at least two 'other' passports (suggesting they aren't US or Somalia)....I give the story marginal belief.

2.  Just odd....six months ago....it was allowed for criticism of Sydney Sweeney’s slutty clothing ad.  So this gym-slutty outrage started up.  Apparently, commenting on slutty clothing is acceptable until the wrong person does it.

3.  German public TV hyped up the 'NO-KINGs' protest from Saturday.  So, if you go nationally....there were two or three successful 'showings', and another forty-odd showings that were planned...marginally had anyone to show up.  Lack of USAID-funding?  Makes you wonder.  But Germans have the impression that 'NO KINGs' was highly successful.

4.  I watched the highlights of the first game of the WNBA finals....crap basketball....traveling on a massive scale....poor play.  

5.  Kinda funny.

Some reporter yesterday asked Hakeem Jeffries: “Will the Congress under your leadership bring back the [illegal aliens] deported to third countries?”

Watching the reaction....Jeffries nods 'yes'.

So every guy/gal sent 'home'....would be brought back.  If you dig deep enough....even airline tickets would be bought....to help bring them back.
