Observations

 1.  Was this a 'blood-bath' in Virginia with the governor's race?

What kind of nutcase (for the news media) would say that?  If you gaze at numbers (99-percent counted)....Youngkin won with 50.7-percent of the vote.  McAuliffe lost by only 72,000 votes.  If this stupid board of education 'crap' hadn't erupted, and McAuliffe hadn't jumped into the Tiki-torches business.....he would have won this by 200,000 votes easily.  

2.  Does this Virginia election say much over President Biden?

Marginally in some way.  

3.  West-Hollywood, CA....going to a minimum wage of $17.64?

Yeah....highest minimum wage in the US.  So as the French-Fry guy at Burger King....you make $705 a week before taxes.  

4.  Minneapolis voting effort to 'replace' the police department (more or less creating a 'peace-department'?

Failed in voting, 56-percent to 44-percent.  

5.  Are journalists overusing the 'emotions' gimmick?

The childish behavior has reached a level, where you think you are watching seven-year-old kids.  

Observations: 4 November 2021

 1.  If we reach November 2024, and Trump runs to defeat Joe Biden....does it mean much of anything?  I would suggest that the accomplishment record of Joe Biden....if 2022 and 2023 are the same as 2021....it's more about 'getting the job done'.  Course, having a recession that is still in full existence in 2023....would not help Joe Biden.

2.  The economy crashing in Afghanistan?  If you gaze over business news of the past four weeks....mostly viewing Kabul, it's absolute crap, and there's some type of emergency situation building up for Jan/Feb timeframe.  I'd go and predict that several hundred thousand folks will make toward the borders and try to find refugee camps to hang out.  The Taliban's grasp of things?  If they themselves can't find food to eat.....things will get out of hand.

3.  This rumor that the NFL will have a team to sign Colin Kaepernick shortly?  Mostly (99-percent) BS (my humble opinion).  

4.  Finally, Maine in the election yesterday....passed a state amendment that says food is a guaranteed right.  They didn't say it had to be steak and I'm guessing that they could be suggesting 'Sloppy Joes' and apples would be enough to pass as a 'food right'.
