Observations

 1.  Odds of an impeachment of President Biden over the bribes business?  

You would think that he'd been smart enough to have the bribe money flow to off-shore accounts.  This is typically what smart guys do....they hire people to 'manage' their money.

If he failed at this, and the money came into US accounts?  I'd say impeachment chatter will increase by October, and likely start before the end of 2023.  I also think that Feinstein's replacement as Senator figures into this, and a fair number of Democrats are calculating Biden to be gone, but some total reshuffle to occur....maybe Harris gone and a new VP before the impeachment wraps up.

2.  Democratic voters indicate their feelings on re-electing Joe Biden?  Now at only 37-percent.  

3.  All that hype that Fed rates were going up another notch?  Halted, for 12 months....coming out late yesterday.

4.  Oddly, House agreed and passed law to raise pilot mandated retirement in the US.....to 67.  Lack of pilots is key issue. 

The Gun Quote

  “Down in Philadelphia and New York, areas I know well, like up here, you’d see a truck pull up, pull to the curb and selling weapons, selling guns, selling AR-15s.”

- President Joe Biden

I paused over his comment....indicating 'not-drug-dealers-but-gun-dealers'.

I think if you did ask all the drug dealers in the Philly area....if they handled guns...about a quarter of them know some guy who has stolen pistols (some of them probably in marginal shape and not to be trusted in firing).  

If I were this stupid to buy such a weapon....not maintained, for me personally....I simply wouldn't trust it.

In my Air Force years, some trainer ran a short slide presentation of guns that misfired in some way....harming the shooter.  It put the fear of God into me.....you can only trust weapons that are maintained.  The idea of going to some drug-dealer and buying from the back of a 1988 Chevy....to buy any gun....just ain't going to happen.

This brought me to wondering...do the police in NYC or Philly even believe this idea of mass gun sales?  Are they the ones who hyped Biden to say this, or is this a misinformation campaign to make you imagine of such a situation?
