Observations

 1.  What happened to Jussie Smollett?  It's like he totally disappeared.

2.  What happened to Hunter Biden?

3.  Juneteenth ending up as a holiday?  Well, there's hype it may happen.  The Latino crowd?  They are openly discussing 5 May (Cinco de Mayo).  Would we give up two of the present holidays? 

Personally, I think we ought to have 365 holidays on the calendar.....to honor a lot of things (even Halloween and Ironman's birthday ought to be a national holiday).

Border Story/Fantasy

 In roughly two weeks, Donald Trump is scheduled to visit the US border (Texas).

Pressure now building for VP Harris?  I would say that her planning team is now sitting there at least four hours a day, and discussing how they could get ahead of Trump, or how to downplay Trump's visit.

The fantasy scene I could see playing out?  There out of the brush...walks six Hispanic kids....having crossed the border, and here is the Texas Governor and Trump.

Trump reaches into his bag and pulls out six ice cold waters and offers them up to the kids.  Headline for the next day?  Trump saves kids! Yes, it would be that crazy.  

The Thing About Nature

 “If people think nature is their friend, then they sure don’t need an enemy.” 

– Kurt Vonnegut

I sat and admired the quote this morning.  There are various things that occur in nature, and they end up as front-page news now.  From disease, to hurricanes, to drought.
