Ten Observations

 1.  This story of former Secretary of Defense Mattis (under Trump) saying that there was a Chinese balloon episode during Trump's period, but he refused to brief Trump on it? 

He might want to hire up a lawyer and prepare for trouble.  If asked about this, and admits that he might have briefed Speaker of the House Pelosi?  He'll drag down the entire leadership of the Democratic Party.  

This also begs the question....what else did he not brief Trump upon?

On the other hand....might all of this be BS?  One odd aspect....this balloon from last week was noticeable in the sky.  How was the previous balloon NOT noticeable?  

2.  When you use the term 'fossil fuels'.....is it really from fossils?

3.  CNBC says two out of three Americans living paycheck to paycheck.

4.  VP Harris: "I think that most of us who are devout public servants understand that we in government have great possibility in terms of the range at which we work as government."

I have no idea what she meant.

5.  I noticed that the Memphis city council (Shelby County Commissioners) stood up and said that they want "culturally competent therapists" assigned to the police department.

Not sure what they meant by culturally competent.....probably means you can't be Asian, white, or Hispanic.

6.  State of the Union drinking game rules?  If President Biden says 'I'm not joking', you have to do a shot of Vodka each time.  If he says 'Ultra MAGA', you have to do two shots per each time.

7.  If you were just born stupid.....there's no drug, no therapy and no transitional process to improve your situation.  

8.  What's the whole positive of the Chinese balloon business?  More or less....they have to admit that their efforts to make a decent camera for satellite pictures....has been crap.  

9.  NY City is apparently giving out free bus tickets.....to get migrants to Canada.

10.  These days....mentioning that you have a college degree....kinda measures up to admitting that you have some knowledge over septic tanks.
