How The 'Bubble-People' Will Evolve?

 By 'bubble-people'....I mean the people who only read WaPo/NY Times, or watch CNN/MSNBC.

At some point....around July/August....a subpoena will be handed several folks (to include former President Obama)....to appear before a Florida grand  jury within two weeks. A couple of folks will appear to exit the US within 24 hours (particularly former President Obama).  He flees into London, and is given some type of protected status.

The grand jury project continues.

CNN and CBS....unhooked from former ownership/management....lay out tons of criminal behavior problems, and coup-like actions.

The bubble-people start to collapse....realizing they lived in a faked-up-world, and were deceived for almost 20 years.

President Trump orders massive 'controls' for the November election....voter ID is mandated.  

In the UK....questions now arise over how long Starmer knew the whole story and who else is involved.  Quietly, someone notices about three weeks into this mess....that both Hillary and Bill Clinton are residing in some estate.....hidden from public view.

By the end of 2026....half of the bubble-people are seeking mental health care...not able to handle reality.

The 'Grooming' Problem

I sat this AM...watching about 15 minutes of Fox News.  It was mostly over this Maine situation with Platner.....the Democratic candidate. 

Graham Cunningham Platner....for those not following the state contest....is an American oyster farmer and former Marine Corps member....who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Maine, to replace Republican senator Susan Collins.

It apparently got noticed that he has a Nazi tatto on his chest, and some former girlfriends have come out to say he's a bit weird.

So Fox folks went to Maine voters, and asked one guy to explain things.  His comment: "If we want folks that are representing us from the working class, they're not necessarily going to have a groomed and perfect political record."

Being from Alabama....I can understand this  belief.  You want a guy who might binge-drink once in a while....who is on his 3rd marriage....did six months of duty in the National Guard before being discharged for rage-issues....is a on-and-off member of the Klan....has six non-felony charges in Fort Lauderdale for bad-boy behavior.....fakes some Baptist religion commitment but has been baptized eight different times by eight different churches, and claims to have Bigfoot evidence.

The problem....if you think about it....working-class people have a unlimited amount of 'FUN'....without worrying about being  a candidate for something. Then one day, you cross the line....coming off a binge-drinking episode....realizing you announced you are running for mayor or senator.

Four Observations

 1.  If you asked a hundred democratic-voters.....to name a agenda on the list to accomplish...other than opposing Trump....most have some dazed-look, and a majority can't list anything much.

2.  All this BS/wasting of time/crap chatter of fixing the reflective pool by the Lincoln Memorial.....for fifteen-odd years.....finally done.  It looks great.

3.  Some chatter out of Russia....shortage of manpower.  Discussion going on....to bring the work-age down to 12.

4.  I have this gut-feeling.....three out of five Seattle adults....enjoy watching chaos with the city and the mayor.

The End Of MLB (Major League Baseball)?

 Around December of this year....the current players/owners contract ends.

The owners....over the past decade....have come to a reality....around a dozen clubs are anchored down  and not in a position to get quality players.  At the top level....there's around ten clubs who have the cash flow to hire top-level players. In the middle....around eight clubs have enough cash flow....to occasionally challenge top clubs.

The owners have wised-up....they want a pay-cap. The players? They refuse to consider the idea.

So I'll just say it....by early 2027....a strike is likely to occur, and I  doubt that any games are played in 2027.

By the summer of 2027.....with no 'rescue' in sight....some folks start talking of a rival-league....eight teams....mostly in the south.  

How To Fix The California Count-The-Votes Problem?

 Two fixes:

1.  Mandate all non-voting (absentee/mail-in) ballots to be done and dropped off four weeks prior to election day....guarded and protected by Nat'l Guardsmen with machine-guns.

2.  Bring in Florida vote-counters....to count the California ballots.

Divert Hit Piece?

I sat this AM....reading a WaPo piece....troubling news....the Trump administration is diverting at least $90 million from entry fees to national parks to fund a $1.6 million fireworks display and $76 million to repair fountains in the  DC area....of which the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is such an asset.

The piece....carried on....like a hit-piece....against Trump.

So I went Grok  and asked....what are the other facts?

National Park Service policy (for over 20 years) allows up to 20-perecent of entrance fees for system-wide projects rather than keeping all revenue at the collecting park.

This D.C. monuments stuff?   Well....they are under the Nat'l Park system, and in a mess with $24 billion in deferred maintenance backlog.

So?  It's all legit.

WaPo missing half of the story?  More or less.


Stargate Drama

 So...for about a year....Amazon (who owns the rights to the Stargate series).....had a crew of writers working on season one of a 'reboot'. In the past week....Amazon bosses met...discussed the matter, and decided that whatever the writers were attempting.....would ONLY old normal fans to view it...NOT new fans. So the 'reboot' was cancelled.

All hell broke loose after this announcement

Five observations:

1.  It's not clear what Amazon executives expected.  Maybe they wanted BOLD drama.  Maybe they wanted a all-female team.  Maybe half the team had to be gay or trans. Maybe the bad guys had to resemble Trump in some way.

2.  Maybe the Stargate had to be in some Russian bunker instead of being in Cheyenne Mountain.

3. Is it possible that none of the Amazon executives have ever  watched the series?

4. Maybe the Hammond-character has to be trans?

5.   Maybe Amazon would be better off selling this project to Paramount?
