20 Things I Think Of

 1.  Every time I see a FBI official speak....I sit and contemplate....what's the odds of a false narrative that might fit into his 'talk'.

2.  Each time I see any politician promise something....I'm wondering how many lobbyists paid to influence him.

3.  Each time I see George Bush, I tend to wonder if he was ever fit to run a Burger King.

4.  Each time I hear Benghazi mentioned....I wonder....why would there be forty-odd CIA guys/contractors....sitting less than two miles away from the Ambassador's house?

5. Every time I see Bill and Hillary Clinton, I contemplate how many women 'serviced' Bill (BJ-wise) over the past forty years, and if Bill was given the 'green-light' back at year one of the marriage.

6.  Every time some PhD guy/gal indicates to me their position in life.....I kinda feel sorry for them, and contemplate offering them a coffee or a shot of cheap whiskey.

7.  When I get moral lectures from Christian folks (ever since age 12)....I tend to sit there imagine if Moses got these lectures over and over, and he walked off into the desert mostly because he was tired of the lectures.

8.  When I tend to see four policeman at the same time...standing there.....I size up the guys and figure the donut count to reach 250 pounds each.

9.  When I watch CNN (ever so rarely)....I'm continually counting the seconds before I either mute the sound or change the channel.

10.  When I (rarely) fly these days...I tend to sit and count the folks in the aisle yet to come....who are fifty to one-hundred pounds over their weight and require 1.3 seats to really sit comfortably, and hope none of them sit by me.

11. When I notice a gal wearing a pair of pants that are two sizes too small for her 'build'....I often wonder if she's so poor....she can't afford to buy the correct size.

12.  When I'm talking to a college graduate (four-year degree) and they seem to be eighth-grade high school material.....I'm wondering if I should recommend they seek part of their tuition back.

13.  When I'm in conversation with someone who seems to have paranoid schizophrenia (they actually describe imaginary people).....I tend to view and develop an escape plan.

14.  After I get home with a new TV these days...it's around day two that I realize there's around 600 extra functions....I didn't ask for....and contemplate if I should read further into the manual, or just stick with the dozen things I really asked for.

15.  I've come to realize that any conversation on the porch in 1975....centered on a dozen simple topics and you could engage without being embarrassed or put on the spot.  Today, there's likely 3,000 different subjects, and a quarter of them are pretty hot-topics that you'd rather not discuss....even with your barber, your wife, or the landscaper guy (Pedro).

16.  When I'm sitting in a ultra-modern car, it pains me to admit that there's probably six hours of training required to use all of the functions within the car.

17.  When I pull into any gas station in a highly urbanized city....I'm evaluating the lighting, security and my safety situation.

18.  When VP Harris speaks....I tend to wonder how she made it past the 8th grade.

19.  When I'm at a doctor's office and they hand me some interview-letter...asking me my feelings over X, Y and Z.....I tend to want to write that I feel great since I developed a relationship with my invisible friend (Marvin).  

20.  When I board a plane....I'm often wondering....from the 300 folks who are doing their best to make sure it runs perfect.....the movie mechanism works, the bag is there, and that the drink cart is full.....will any of them fail on their one vital task?

When Tolerance Fails

 "Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the fools."

- Dostoevsky

I am reminded of this...every time that VP Harris speaks.  

Nine Observations

 1.  Why all this hype over the visitor logs to President Biden's personal home in Delaware?

Well...I suspect that with each weekend trip....a doctor came by, and it might be interesting what his expertise is in.

2.  What's this HUD talk about 'equality plans'?

Basically, the Biden team is writing a regulation that each community/town/city....has to have some equality plan to ensure equal 'stuff' to blacks, Latinos, Asians and whites. 

However, once you get into these low-cost neighborhoods built (some in the 1960s)....it'll be obvious that it's mostly a black cheapo home landscape.  So the gimmick will be that you need to either force more whites into these neighborhoods, or somehow build new neighborhoods with more black inclusion.

3.  This White House press spokesperson (KJP).....having trouble with the classified documents story?

Well....the story changes day to day, and the White House (really Biden himself) can't really tell her much of anything.  There would appear to be more than a dozen document 'bosses' handling various pieces and parts of this....with marginal coordination.  

4.  University of Pennsylvania in the hot-seat?

House Oversight Committee has asked just how much they are getting in Chinese funds.   They want the answer under 'oath', and I doubt if anyone at the University wants to play this game.  

5.  Has recycling become cult-like or a religion?

Yeah, and the fact that the news media just skips over this should bother people.

6.  This Alec Baldwin voluntary manslaughter charge?

The prosecutor of the county has gotten the charge approved and is proceeding forward.  My guess....it'll be assigned to some junior guy with minimum experience in handling cases like this, and give Baldwin a fighting chance of winning (not-guilty).  

The problem here....the lady armorer is up for the same charge, and she won't have the same legal representation. 

7.  Why was the CIA director in Kiev?

Anyone's guess....but Ukraine is probably asking for more assessments and information that would normally not be given to a non-NATO member.  

8.  This Santos guy (NY's new House member) was a former drag queen (in Brazil)?

Yeah...pictures out there....maybe ten years ago.  And the NY news journalists didn't figure this out until now?

9.  Some BS story that Putin is dead, and a actor is filling his shoes?

Yeah, the rumor is out there....probably a solid '10' on the BS-meter.
