Yeah, About Those Guns

 Just funny....when they'd done the raid on that Air Force National Guard guy....they (the FBI I assume) released a photo of the room in parent's house, and the gun-collection they took possession.  

At time....I looked at the picture and thought....maybe I was making a mistake but there seems to be some 'red' on the end of the barrels.  My color vision, as I grow older....is crap.

So hats off to Twitter (thanks to Sgt. Bradley USMC).....he blew up the picture and the red is obvious.

What the guns are?  Replicas....airsoft type types.

Are there other real guns?  Well....as far as I can tell at this point....no.  Maybe later....they found some Oswald-like weapons that he ordered from a mail-order house.

Should Trump Just Come Out By Mid-Summer With His VP Choice?

 I saw this uttered this past week, and it just seemed to me.....things are so wild at present...that I wouldn't see a problem if he picked someone like Arizona's Kari Lake (who has been vetted to the maximum already).

Putting Biden/Harris into a tough position?  Lets just be honest and say that on personal appearances/5-star moments.....you just aren't going to get the 'home-run' situation necessary for a campaign.  

Doing this already in mid-summer of 2023?  It's early but lets face it....the primary is a joke unless DeSantis/RFK Jr catch on.

If Trump selected someone who'd not faced 'vetting' in 2022?  Well...it's a big problem if he picked someone to stumble.  

To be honest, after Grenell (the gay guy in Trump's cabinet)....there's just Lake.  I don't see anyone else out there.

Just Observations

 1.  Is there any real primary in 2024?

Well....the way that things are shaping up....NO.

For the moment...SC appears to be the first primary (not Iowa).  Georgia and Michigan will follow NH, SC and NV....then Super-Tuesday will occur.  

I would suggest if RFK Jr were to win in NH (I consider it a possibility) and Michigan...then it becomes a pretty interesting situation.  If DeSantis has not won a outright victory in the first five states?  He's out.  

After Super-Tuesday?  I'd consider the 2024 primary period trending fast downward.

2.  Is Joe Biden a 'Kennedy-Democrat'?  

Joe can probably talk for an hour about how he relates to typical Kennedy-Democrats....but it's mostly all BS.  He can't cite much of anything done over the past two years that puts him into such a category.  

And to be honest....Kennedy-Democrats from 1960....would today be viewed as moderate conservatives.  

3.  This Nashville shooter manifesto being released?

What the FBI said yesterday....it will be released at some point.  My belief?  You won't see it until mid-summer, and at least a quarter of it will be 'cut'.   Anyone's guess why.

4.  What I see Tucker Carlson eventually doing (probably in the spring of 2024)?

Three nights a week, some type of one-on-one debate, with each night picking out one single topic, and arguing about it for one hour.  You'd probably pay $8 a month to watch this and get informative.  

It's the kind of thing that the networks are fearful of, and would avoid.  

5.  This purchase of the Oakland A's baseball team and movement to Vegas?

Well...here's the thing....the city of Las Vegas says they will handle the ballpark (37,000 set indoor stadium).  With the right design....I think in the non-game days and the non-season period....they could probably fill a quarter to half of the stadium with events, and make tons of money.

I also think that the city might hire fifty planners to hype up individual tours from American League cities....with concert tickets and comedy acts drawing folks to fly in and get special deals.

Tons of money to be made for the club, and the city.
