What Governor Newsom's 28th Amendment Looks Like?

 It raises the federal minimum age from 18 to 21.  Looking over this....I don't know how you'd go and recruit people for the Marines or Army, unless you wrote some type of waiver....that they could handle weapons.

It puts into effect a mandated universal background check to buy guns....which in most all cases...occurs now.  

It mandates a waiting period for gun purchases, but leaves out what the national standard would be.  It could be seven days....it could be 30 days....it could be 60 days.

It bans "assault weapons", period. Does it mean the AR-15?  Well....it's never been bought by a single military organization....ever, so trying to classify it as an assault or war-weapon....is a problem.

Then it had a sentence which basically said that Congress, states and local governments could enact additional gun control measures. A problem with having the 2nd Amendment still in effect?  Yes, and thus making it confusing.

As for passage?  As-is?  It won't get the votes by House/Senate members to advance to the states. 

In fact, trying to say that the 2nd Amendment stays but we are adding another Amendment.....goes against what the 2nd said.

Where I See Bud-Lite, CNN, Dodgers and Target in 24 Months?

 When we come to the summer of 2025:

Bud-Lite?  It will have been bundled up and sold to another company, with a brand new name/style/look....same taste and brew style.  All that the CEO will admit is in the trans-mess....they somehow lost 25-percent of their profits, and in some southern states....almost 50-percent of 'old' business never came back.  

CNN?  I think two CEOs will follow this Licht guy 'fired', and by the summer of 2025....it will bundled-up to be sold off.  I think some company like Black Rock will put the cash up, and come in to totally remake the company from top to bottom (the name CNN won't exist after this development).  It's possible that even FB/Meta is the one buying them....to piece it into their brand.  Big contract players?  More than half will be dismissed when this rebranding occurs.

Target?  I think their present CEO is let-go by late 2023, and a new branding team arrives....to disconnect the brand entirely from trans-stuff.  I also think by June of 2024.....the next trans month....a massive strike by the pronoun community will occur with the 'new' target, and create another massive public relations problem.

Dodgers?  I think for the remainder of the 2023 season....they will agree that one-third of the normal attendance isn't there, but they can't blame it on the trans-business.  Various anti-Dodgers groups will exist by spring training of 2024....triggering more fallout and the 2024 season will note a 15-percent decline on attendance.  

CNN and Licht Gone?

 The 'boss' of CNN....Chris Licht....has departed (more or less told his services weren't required anymore, and a temp guy to fill in until the board finds the replacement. 

How one should look at this?

First, CNN was awful desperate to turn things around, and regain viewers.  He came in May 2022....with the idea of dumping the lecture business, and get back to old fashioned news coverage.

Viewership gained since then?  Nothing much.

The Trump townhall?  Probably angered what few viewers they had, and they wished Licht to be 'fired'.

What happens now?  First, of the hundred possible replacements....I'm pretty sure that 90 to 95 of them will immediately say 'no' to the job offer. Second, whoever they hire....probably lasts about twelve months before being let go.  Finally, if I currently owned CNN...I'd be of the mind to clean them up marginally and dump them via a quick sale....taking a major loss.

Back to nightly 'lectures'?  Well.....yeah, that's probably the bread-and-butter of the network from this point on.
