The 'Other' Joe?

 About three years ago....the Joe-Biden-mask story came up...suggesting that someoe was acting in Joe's 'spot'....with a mask....playing him.

At the time...I laughed. About a year later...I started to give it a 5-percent  being true, mostly he walked in a awkward way from the helicopter to the White House on Sunday evenings....returning after a weekend in Delaware. Added to this....from Monday morning....till Friday evening (another chopper ride)....you'd notice for a whole week....no meetings or photo-ops.

Over the past 6 months....various 2020 to 2024 photos have popped up....where Joe looks like he has a mask on....maybe 50-percent of the time.

This week....a Epstein email popped-up....suggesting Joe was shot dead in 2019, and a sub was placed. Course, Epstein might have simply made up a joke.

Jill all in on this...if true?  How she'd sign up for duty like this?

At this point....I'm at the 20-percent point.


NY City Story

 I sat and watched a 2-minute exchange....journalist....and a supporter of Zoharn Mamdani (NY City's new mayor)....arguing over the idea....businesses shouldn’t be allowed to leave over taxes and that the city should just seize/operate them instead.

The resident didn't really state his work or expertise....just by the way he talked...I assumed he had a degree (or two).

I'll admit....about two minutes were all I could really stand.

In some way....he assumes that the pricing of the business, and profits....will just stay on a path of continuing...without any issues.

A bad example of this idea?  At some point...the NY Yankees will start to have a problem  in signing 5-star players....because of the state/city taxation program.  This is the current problem in  Chicago...with the Bears (serious talk of leaving the state). I expect both the Dodgers and  Giants to have this discussion in a couple of years.

Crazy world we live in.

Four Humble Thoughts

 1.  I watched about 75 minutes of House situation with Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent with House Democrats.

It was a college-professor moment....with 11-year old 'children'.

It was a 5-star disaster for the Democratic 'brand'.  

2.  I read over a summary....parent writing how things went the the day prior at their kid's school.  Kid....I get the impression was probably 12 or13 years old.

So....the politicized 'kids' in the school had a 'walk-out' planned....to dump on 'ICE' as a protest.  School director got word....blocked off the doors, and forbid the exit.

Via phone-chat (I assume)....whoever was directing the school-gang....went to plan 'B'....where kids were to wear anti-ICE labels/pins.   

What the parent indicated....almost no boy in the school got into this pin-business.  It was purely a girl-event with the pins.

It's amazing  times we live in.

3.  The journalists-reporters at the Washington Post....viewed it as their purpose in life....to "spur change".

So as they exit the office (dismissed/let-go)....they should write it on their resume.  Apparently, their brand of change....means non-profit for the newspaper.

4.  The most dangerous man in America today...is not Donald Trump.  It's Joe Rogan....and here's the thing....Joe's going to be around for 20-plus years.
