Six Humble Truths

 1.  If Joe Biden had indicated in October of 2023....he wouldn't have run this year....the primary would have occurred, and all of these 'problems' with Kamala Harris would have played out, and she would NOT have been the candidate running at this point.

I know...it should have run this way, because she's just a lousy person to run a campaign around.

2.  I suspect that one out of every four 'juveniles' (meaning 14-to-25 years old)....have no name recognition with 'Hitler'. 

3.  Going back 50 years....I kinda remember Reagan, Bush I and Bush II....being referred to as 'Hitler'.

4.  Even if they started tomorrow in the Gaza Strip....it'd take 50-plus years to rebuild from scratch.

5.  NY Post says the fed folks spent around $150-billion on migrants in the past year.

Triggering a bigger mess with the budget in 2025?  Yeah.

6.  There's a discussion within DoD (Pentagon) channels.....about weight reduction 'shots', if chubby would be mandated to take them, and how they'd pay for them.

Just in the Air Force alone, I'd take a guess more than 300-million dollars might be required...yearly. 

Two Things

 1.  I watched a TV show in the past week, where the chief character (a lady in her 30s) had gone to some psychic course, graduated after a 'test', and was now a crystal-ball 'reader'.

In the 1970s....99-percent of people being told this....would have laughed and been amused. Today? I'd say 20-percent would be willing to buy into this and whatever she saw in the crystal ball.

We are as a society.....dragging ourselves to a new state of mind, where we believe BS.

2.  Trump saying he wanted more generals like Hitler had?

I laughed over the story.  First, it  comes ONLY from one single source....his EXEC....who happens to  remember this now, not 4 years  ago.

What I suspect happened?  Trump often tests the confidentiality of his people....telling one or two people a comment....to see if they leak the comment later, and this sounds like such an episode.

Harris running around for the final two weeks.....uttering Hitler-chatter?  If this is the strategy......it's a one-star plan.
