Five Observations

 1.  Someone brought up the ordering of a pizza (XL)....paying $32 for a 3-topping situation.  That's crazy on pricing but another demonstration of the economy.

2.  Someone suggested on social media....renaming the state of Alabama into 'Lebanon' and Tennessee into 'North Lebanon'....to ensure we get a bigger chunk of federal funds.  I hate to say it....but one-third of the population of both states would be agreeable to this idea.

3.  I read a piece where someone offered up the idea....paying people to vote (not saying huge amount.....mostly like $100).  But in their vision, you'd have to show a social security card and ID....to have the money sent to your home address a month after the election.  It'd be a incentive for everyone to have a ID for voting, and make them happy about voting.  If the check could not be delivered?  Have it returned to the gov't.

4. Just a feeling....after Hurricane Milton passes through Florida.....I will bet that within four months....a majority of insurance companies will refuse to offer any deal within the state.

5.  Trump is showing up in central California on Saturday afternoon.  I'm already betting on a crowd of 100,000 showing up....with a quarter of them Hispanic.

Should Joe/Jill Biden Just Kept Running?

 Over the past week, I've contemplated the election scenario....what if  Joe/Jill had just kept running and not exited out.

I've come to the opinion that Joe/Jill would be at least a point or two ahead of Donald Trump, and this would be hard race for Donald trump to win.

Kamala Harris unprepared?  That's the key problem....without the primary 'practice'....she's expected to 'dance' and she can't really do more than show-up....pretend to be prepared, and give you a half-way prepared 'act'.

I suspect people will talk about this for decades....how Joe/Jill could have won.

Harris: Kinda Funny

 Yesterday, VP Kamala Harris attempted a person-to-person 'talk' with Gov DeSantis of Florida to show concern over the approaching hurricane.  

DeSantis turned down the call (refused to take it).

This got Harris bothered and she described DeSantis as 'selfish' and 'utterly irresponsible.'

To be honest here....the VP has NO power....so the call was worthless. If it'd been Joe Biden....it would be different, and I imagine DeSantis would have accepted it.

The problem now for Harris?  Well...once the hurricane passes and the call for help from FEMA fails (which I anticipate).....Harris will get the blame.  

Joe Biden seeing all this unfold?  Oh yeah, he's grinning.....knowing precisely the position that he's put Harris into and that FEMA presently is all crippled-up and worthless.

As one stands back to view the landscape....it's just developed into a comedy show. 

Odd of a third hurricane situation?  You know....with four weeks until election....I'd suggest it's 50-50 on odds....yet another hurricane will occur, and it's  simply going to blacken the situation over FEMA even more.
