1. The Babylon Bee (fake news) reports: Climate Activists Blame Global Warming For Zero Hurricanes Forming In Atlantic This Year.
Yeah....it's an odd year. I asked Grok....only 3 years since 1900 with no hurricanes (1907, 1914, and 2026). Oddly....both winters (1907/1914) were extreme/harsh.
2. The Trump Administration has invoked the long-unenforced Immigration Act of 1882....to prohibit entry into the United States of “any convict, lunatic, idiot, or any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge.”
Basically, if you enter....you need to have wits or cash to cover your lifestyle.
My question this Act of 1882...who wrote this? I asked Grok for help....ends up with Representative John Van Voorhis (R-NY).
Odd feature? Well....if you walked into the US and had a IQ of 75....you would probably denied entry.
3. I expect by spring of 2027....some baseball team will use AI to assemble a free-agent situation....with the tactic of being 'bang-for-the-buck', and end up in the 2027 World Series.
I will also predict the home-plate umpire will be 'removed' from calling balls/strikes by the opening day of 2028.
4. I noted:
US Smoking, alcohol and marijuana use by teenagers.
1976: Alcohol - 92 percent, Smoking - 76 percent, and Marijuana - 64 percent.
2022: Alcohol - 53 percent, Smoking - 17 percent, and Marijuana - 38 percent

For some reason, I don't believe the 1976 data...course, I grew up in a southern/rural (and dry county) region.
5. All this 'chatter' from the Lindsay Clancy jury folks....just odd. Seems like almost daily....at least one being a guest on some talk-show/news-program.
6. Apparently.....the Department of War has cleared current and former personnel to disclose UAP/UFO-related information to officials, despite prior NDA restrictions. How many folks in this category? Unknown. Personal guess....more than 3,000.
