Odds of a Liz Cheney 'Third-Party'?

 All this hype over the past week, led me to ponder upon this suggest of a new Republican Party.  There are four problems:

1.  The more you talk (from this unnamed party)....the more you sound like Mitt Romney, George Bush and John McCain.  Sorry, but that type of chatter won't work.

2.  Basically, you'd have to advocate 90-percent of the Trump positions, or you'd seem to be a left-leaning group.

3.  Your position on migration or open-borders?  Not only does it not sell to 90-percent of Republicans, but it probably doesn't sell to one-quarter of Democratic voters either.

4.  Finally, if you review the 1912 Roosevelt-Taft-Wilson election....it would seem your tactic is basically the same as it, and your party would dissipate (disappear) in four years.  The 'Bull-Moose' Party?  Remember it?  

So, my suggestion?  If you are that moderate in nature....why not just become a Democrat?  

Older Generation Americans Having More Issues With UFO Admittance by the Government?

 Well, yeah.

Generally, I think anyone under the age of thirty is likely to fully accept (say 90-percent or more) the idea that the government says UFOs are real.  

In the age group of 70 over older?  I'd say it's probably less than 10-percent who can believe the idea or feel comfortable with the idea.  

Someone like President Biden?  There's probably 10,000 questions he would ask, and they'd all lead back to a skeptical view....with him declaring nothing factual exists (even if you had a thousand videos by the Navy).  

What drove this serious amount of acceptance?  Mostly Hollywood, and some scientists giving calculations that there ought to be a minimum of a thousand cultures in the universe as a minimum.

The Hollywood effort brand 75-percent of aliens 'bad-guys'?  Well....that might not be a positive thing.  Course, Alf and 3rd Rock from the Sun made this more a comical thing than a evil thing.

So this whole acceptance thing is bundled up into two generations which can't come to a rational middle-point?  More or less.  

AP Story

 Somewhere in the news, you will notice chatter about the Israeli/Palestinian 'mini-war' business, and where the Israelis gave notice that they were going to bomb such-and-such building, which happened to be the place-of-business for the Associated Press (AP).

So after the building fell (completely)....which got the AP people all disturbed...it kinda got said that some apartment in the building with them....was actually the headquarters section of Hamas.  

The AP folks wanted everyone to know that they had no idea that Hamas was also in the same building. 

I sat there reading over the denial, and it just seemed to me.....if you were actual true journalists (from the 1960s/1970s).....you would have known such a thing.  But these journalists from the past decade or two.....aren't that bright, and it's entirely possible that they had no idea Hamas was a neighbor.  

AP shut down for a while?  Well....they have to find a new location....get some equipment brought in, and there's a chance that they move into a new building with their former Hamas neighbors (again).
