Ten Things I Wonder About

 First, when the Tennessee prison folks realized they couldn't execute this Pike gal.....they hustle her up to a ambulance...driving her to some hospital.  Well....in dealing with any hospital these days....there's CODES to be typed up as you enter.

Is there a code for attempted execution?

Then I kinda wonder....is the state paying for hospital care....while they later have to attempt a second execution?

Second, Steve Bannon....noted Bush-enthusiast...did a interview with Vanity Fair and uttered:  “Having Gavin Newsom as president wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world,”

I'm kinda wondering....with his mindset....what would be worse?

Third, I'm in preparation mode for April 2027 trip to Japan, and among the 14,000 things I'm getting orientated upon....there's this toilet issue.

Apparently, some Japanese places have ultra-modern toilets....with like a dozen menu 'buttons'.  Some, as stated....throw misty air at  your butt....some spray heavy-duty water at your butt.

I'm just wondering where this idea of techno-toilets came from?

Fourth, after you think about it....isn't it odd...in Islamic states....there are no transexuals?

Fifth, Nike's financial spiral (value of the company)....has me wondering....if some Chinese investment group ends up buying them?

Sixth, I was reading police/crime data this weekend, and the homicide rate of black women came up.  So the factual data shows.....91-percent of all black women homicides, are caused by black men.  Eight-percent of the black female homicides, are caused by black women.  So....just one-percent are caused by either unknown situations, or white guys/gals.  

I sat there wondering....if we got Trump to issue pistol checks (say to $400)....only to black women....could we change the statistical data and save some black women?

Seventh, ever since the Presidential-run of VP Kamala Harris....I've had this mindset to listen to Democratic candidates....from any office run.  With this 'filter' mentality....I'm realizing that about 20-percent of the candidates (men and women)....are whacked up on either drugs or booze.  I'm wondering...since the 1980s....what really happened to American politics?

Eighth, I'm one of those folks on Medicare (over age 65), and on plan B coverage (hefty amount, monthly).....so I'm destined shortly to get a Trump-check for $90.

While waiting on a toilet-situation this AM....I spent ten minutes wondering....what the hell should I do with the $90?  

Ninth, it came up in the past week....the Georgia Election Board has asked DoJ to examine electronic voting machines.  At this stage....unless Elon's crew were doing it....it's a bit too late.  But lets ask the question...if Elon's crew spent two hours and found a dozen corrupted issues....could the state of Georgia FIX the November election in time?  

I generally believe....Elon would step in and fix it...by election day.

Tenth....is socialism designed to be a failure...intentionally?  From day one of discussion....was it crapped-up on purpose?  

Three Stories I Followed Over The Weekend

 First, it does appear now....that Tennessee death-row inmate....Christa Pike....probably  'may not fully recover' after botched execution (her lawyer's words).

How far this recovery phase may last?  No one says much.....but I get the impression....they don't want to repeat the episode, and if she were to linger 12 years in some hospital unit....state leadership wouldn't mind.  

Just odd how this plays out.

Second, this Vienna, Georgia shooting over the weekend....has a lot of folks in the south concerned.  Whoever fired off the 50 rounds....if the cops figure out who was involved....life-sentences will be handed out.  

Three,  plague-chatter....way beyond belief.
