Nine Humble Thoughts

 1.  If you polled a fair segment of Americans, I suspect that 25-percent would say that a 'civil war' is currently underway in the nation.

2.  Why can't the Harvard management folks fire the University President with all the plagiarism issues?  Just me thinking over this....they've probably talked about it, and now worry that it'll be seen as a racism issue if they fire her.  

I'm also of the thought process that maybe they've agreed on firing but now realize from the twenty-odd people to replace her....a scan of their PhD thesis reveals similar issues as the current gal.

3.  Are 'migrant' and 'illegal alien' the same thing?  Yeah.

4.  Walter Lippman 1922 quote: “It is often very illuminating...to ask yourself how you got at the facts on which you base your opinion. Who actually saw, heard, felt, counted, named the thing, about which you have an opinion?”

I saw this in the past week.  Public order/respect....often pushes you in extreme ways....to the point that you need to halt the message you are receiving and just ask a few questions before getting serious or hyped-up about something.

5.  Throwing Trump off the Colorado ballot?  Well....seems like now that he is collecting a ton of public donations.  On smart political play for Colorado (my 1-to-10 index)?  I'd give them a '2' at best.  

6.  All this money coming in for the Biden campaign....which is currently marginal at best (most primaries are limiting candidates to only Biden himself).  I suspect if you line up a hundred typical Democrat voters....more than sixty-percent will say they are not participating in the upcoming primary season.  

7.  DeSantis is finished when the Iowa caucus is wrapped up.  I don't think he'll have funding to continue on.  From  that point, it's just Haley, Trump and Vivek.  Oddly enough, for CNN to have some 'fresh' news....they are giving a ton of extra coverage over to Vivek and Haley at present.

8.  From the 8-million-odd 'guests' in the US....'illegals'....if we enter a year long real recession with no real money being spent....what work will they be doing?

9.  How to read this entire Jack Smith special prosecutor 'status'?  Well....normally,  under the law, to be a special prosecutor, you are already hired and employed by the US gov't (meaning?  you took the oath and are a fed employee).

Jack Smith was not a fed employee, and has not taken any oath.  In the true sense of the word....he was contracted out for the special prosecutor role.  

A problem?  Well...if the Supreme Court comes back and tosses the case...it will look rather amusing for the Attorney General to explain this in some public setting.  I doubt that he was the person creating the entry for Smith in this role.
