Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  With two or three exceptions....I can't watch NBA basketball anymore.  On average, per game, there's at least twenty 'traveling' violation...which the ref's never call.

2.  Hunter Biden is claiming he is $17-million in debt....no way of ever repaying it.

3. You just sit and wonder....four years of the Biden-crew, and zero interest in Epstein or the files.  

4.  I asked Grok (AI) if a recession is existing in the US. 

It eventually came back and said 'NO'.

The labor market is adding jobs.  GDP growth is going on (slowly).  Various forecasters are saying a trend is seen but in late 2026....suggesting the Xmas season may be awful crappy.

The states in a spiral?  Well....California, Illinois, Washington, NY, Michigan.....the states 'owned' and run by the Democratic machine.

The rest of the nation....mostly in positive numbers.  

5.  CNN?  It's mostly a sail-boat now....with the sails missing and drifting. The first week of October?  It can't  come soon enough.

Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  Here in 2026.....even though living standards appear to be improving....there's this gut-feeling that overall happiness is in some way....declining. 

Or is it a case that the happiness 'scale' is frozen and hasn't moved since the 1980s?

2.  You might want to pay attention to the postal system....it's under one of the biggest crisis's of the past forty years.  This week....they (the bosses) halted pension plan  payments temporarily.  We are at a point where we need a 'Elon'  to revamp the system.

3. Was reading yesterday.....the Federal workforce is smaller today than at any point since 1966. Oddly, we don't seem to be suffering.

4. A normal mid-term election (coming up in 7 months)....revolves around your pocketbook/economy, healthcare (both cost and access), immigration, negative crime numbers, and perceived threats to democracy.

This year?  It'll revolve around five 'other' things: the threat to impeach Trump, marginal accomplishments by the Democratic Party, perceived downward economy in five to ten 'blue' states, crazy political videos shown freely on Twitter, and possible UFO 'truths'.

5.  Ninety percent of society want a lifestyle and landscape that seems to be affordable and proven reliable.
