Observations:

 1.  It's just rather odd.....Mayor-Pete (Secretary of Transportation) and VP Harris....going this week to North Carolina for a speech gig.....same time....same place.  

You get the feeling that someone (not President Biden) is pulling the strings to see who is ahead by the end of 2022....to be running as Joe's replacement.

2.  Fewer profits seen on Black Friday, for the first time ever?  Business news is suggesting that.

3. Some investigation started after someone blew up a crater area....maybe big enough for three refrigerators on the beach in the NY City region.  FBI involved.  Terror uttered over and over by the news folks.  Evidence?  Zero.  Other than a hole in the sand, and maybe some sample for the lab....zero evidence of terrorists.

4.  Odds of a Ukraine-Russia 'rumble'?  I'd give it better than a 50-percent chance.  President Biden presents a weaken position for the US, and Putin can flip this into a six-month pretender-war.
