1. The more you view the Antifa/BLM video....the more you feel it's Baghdad or Afghanistan....in the midst of the war period. Local police could do nothing....people were intimidated....looting was commonplace. It's an Americanized civil war....whether you like it or not.
2. 38-percent of people, according to polling, think that Joe Biden has Dementia. The rest simply think Joe is acting like Joe.
3. Back in 2008, Joe's medical records were released.....noting two serious brain aneurysms in 1988....which required part of his skull to be penetrated as part of the surgical procedure. The odds that this procedure set up long term issues? It makes you wonder.
4. I think if people who heavily favored socialism....actually went to a heavily attached socialistic country....after three weeks, they'd quietly come back to the US and never say a word about socialism. And no, I'm not talking about Denmark or Finland.
5. It kinda hit me yesterday.....a guy comes up and takes the Covid-19 test....then tests positive. Ten days later, he feels really fine....no symptoms, and wants the second test to get approval to go back to work. Second test? Positive. Oddly at this point, that test is counted as a brand new test for US statistical numbers. Three days go by and this guy feels super-fine.....takes the third test, and it still shows positive. That counts as another new test. So a week goes by and finally the fourth test shows negative. One guy, four tests, three positives....equals three infections.
6. Chicago's gay pride parade was officially cancelled by the mayor....because of the Corona concerns. What happened then? Unofficially, thousands showed up and did the parade anyway. Odds of a surge in Chicago over the next week? Probably, but you can't blame this on the mayor.
7. This Russian bounty story? It appears that the Pentagon spent an awful lot of man-hours and effort to find some supporting data/evidence. At this point? Nothing. I admit, it was a good story....kinda like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness sea monster. Maybe the NY Times will send someone to Afghanistan and get a personal interview with some Russian dude to prove the story.
8. If the Russian bounty story was true? First, what was the amount? $200 per US soldier? $4k per US soldier? $9k per US soldier? Second, once you established if the story was true....the logical step would be a reverse ransom situation....offer up double the ransom for Russian operatives in the area. Then the Russians would double theirs, and the US would react, and double theirs. In a matter of six months....one single US soldier would be $500k, and we'd end the whole necessity of anyone (Russian, US or otherwise) being in Afghanistan.
9. The question came up at the White House press conference yesterday: Does President Trump believe that it was a good thing that the South lost the Civil War?
Ha, I sat for a good long ten minutes thinking it was fake news....but no, it was a true question.
The war has been over for 160 years, and people stand around....like it was last year....asking if it was all a good thing or not. Maybe some idiot should ask the guy if the fall of the Roman Empire was a good thing, or if the arrival of the Plymouth Rock idiots was a good thing, or if the Red Sox selling their young pitcher named Ruth to the Yankees was a good thing.
10. Three states have governor-recall petitions approved and working presently (Michigan, Minnesota, and Oregon). A fourth, California, will likely be attempted but fail with enough signatures. Odds here? In the case of Michigan and Minnesota....it's decent odds that the governors will be voted out (not overwhelming though). Oregon is less than a 50-50 situation.

The Fake White Supremacist Story
I sat and tried to make sense out of this Louisville, Kentucky shooting. There was one version, and then when the 'smoke' cleared....we had an entirely different version.
Factual data....some folks got shot. One is dead. Cops reacted....firing no rounds, and captured the 'white supremacist'. We were told this over and over via social media and various news networks.
So around 24 hours later, the 'white supremacist' story has virtually disappeared.
The shooter? A homeless guy named Steven Lopez (yeah a Latino). From what the police say....he'd already been kicked out of the camping area for the protest crowd.
Naturally, you'd ask why?
Back on 17 June, same area of town....he was with 17 other protesters. That morning....the police came and put Steven up for several charges....disorderly conduct, harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia, and inciting a riot. The court folks kinda ordered Steven to move along. My guess is that they were hoping that he'd hop a bus, leave town, and the charges would just dwindle down to not exist.
Well....Lopez stayed on. Local newspaper (the Journal) says he was a regular at the protest.
The gun? No one says much over where it came from. It would be interesting to have Lopez to tell the story, but with murder charges....this might not be something he'd want to share.
A Latino guy, drug-user, and probably to be diagnosed with schizophrenia later? It just doesn't sell the white supremacist thing well.

Kneeling
Jews in Vienna, Austria, 1938, kneeling to Austrian Nazi bastards.
You only lose, by kneeling.
Just Observations
1. It's just odd about various black gentlemen hyped on this 'white supremacy' thing....are generally the same guys who desire white girlfriends, or white wives. Course, black women often refer to the same guys as 'losers' because they didn't marry a black gal.
2. The massive surge in Covid-19 cases in Minnesota in the past ten days? Well, the age group thing stands out....mostly all 20-to-29 year old folks.....the riot age type. The over 40 years old crowd? It marginally jumped.
3. Over the weekend, the NBA agreed to allow players to have social justice statements on the back of their jersey. This will continue until some wiseguy puts up the Chinese phrase 'Baizou'....which means criticism of inferior intellectuals who seem to think big on social justice. If you wanted to turn off 50-percent of the NBA fans, this is a guaranteed way to do it.
4. Twenty folks shot in Chicago over the weekend, seven dead. No one seems to care. Chicago lives don't matter.
5. The hype over Bolton and his book? Mostly now finished. He can put his suits away by next weekend, and go into full retirement. There won't be anymore interviews.
6. Just about every state is seeing a surge in the purchase of weapons. Gun shops are probably going set all-time records for profit in 2020.
7. A nationwide mask mandate (proposed by Pelosi)? It won't happen. If some governor wants to make it a rule in their state....then fine. Set a period of time and go for it.
8. The negative selling point of Joe Biden, if you sit and ponder upon it....if you elect him....all of the riot business and racism stuff....goes away. Puff....like magic. It just leaves a lot to your imagination to figure out how this works.
9. 17 August, set date for the Democratic Convention. VP will be chosen. Figure around ten days after this....fake heart attack for Biden or health situation, and we finally get to the real (replacement) candidate for the Democratic Party in 2020.
10. Romania oddly enough has set up a national day for remembering Christians harmed or killed by violence.

The 'Russian-Bounty' Discussion
First, this is only printed in a couple of big-name newspapers, and all based on anonymous sources.
The odds of the story being true? Unknown.
The odds are some tribal group in Afghanistan simply told some US Army liaison of a story they heard, and that Afghan guy heard it from another guy? That's the problem....it sounds like a good story.
Second, did the Pentagon hold back the story in March because of the question of factual data?
I would make a strong suggestion that they needed secondary confirmation, and just never got anywhere with this.
Then third, and probably the bigger of all problems....once you proved all of this....then what? Would you offer a counter-bounty on each Russian? Would you remove all troops from the region?
After all of this....then the question comes up....why wouldn't ISIS or the Taliban do the same thing?

Days, Weeks, Months, Years Ahead
Ten predictions:
1. Most (certainly not 100-percent) all of the 'defund-police' efforts will be put onto a ballot....rather than signed off by the mayor or city council of a city. The ballot measure will appear and will say (1) cut x-amount of police funding, or (2) cut the police entirely.
In most all cases, the ballot measures will fail. Even in Minneapolis....I would have doubts that you could suggest a 25-percent police funding cut and get the public to agree with you. Regular working-class people won't be stupid enough to dump the police.
2. Most universities will start dumping Civil War classes, and lessening history classes in general. Southern states will be the exception.
3. Republicans will shock people in DC by coming out with a 'return of property' to Maryland suggestion. Drawing a federal property map, the Republicans, with Trump's approval....will suggest a simple lessening of DC property. DC local politicians will go nuts over the suggestion and Maryland will shock the news folks by saying they would never accept the 'gift'.
4. The BLM guys will be invited to a IRS audit, and the topic of tax-free status comes up....with the problem of admitting that the primary agenda of BLM is rid the nation of President Trump. That violates the tax-status of BLM. The financial expert of BLM knows this, and goes back to the BLM 'bosses'. None of them will be able to handle the blunt nature of the truth. Either they lose the tax-free status, or they face criminal proceedings with the IRS.
5. BLM will end the year with zero effort to lessen shootings in Chicago.
6. Based on Joe Biden-math, virtually every single American will be dead by Christmas.
7. PepsiCo is the owner of Aunt Jemima syrup. Since the announcement of new branding and a new name for the syrup....most people are sitting there and feel amused. Once they deliver the new container, with the new name....I suspect that the competition will take fifty-percent of the normal business away from PepsiCo. Sad loss for profits.
8. Seattle, by mid-summer of 2021, is in serious financial jeopardy. Lawsuits will drain capital of the city....over allowing CHOP to exist and harm business in the downtown area.
9. Republican VP Pence....won't be the VP candidate on the ballot for November. (will be a shocker for people to imagine).
10. No NCAA football or NFL football for this fall.

Future of Things
Yesterday, the Minneapolis City Council (unanimously) approved a deal where a vote would occur in November....where the city’s police force could be dissolved if a majority agrees.
First, the odds of this passing?
Population of city? 425k. You can probably anticipate around 250k votes occurring. No one can cite any polling data on this, but I would suggest that it'll be fairly close, and the 'no' vote might win.
Second, going to a majority of 'yes' votes?
Then I would suggest that within six months....the force is disbanded. A lot of the members would have resumes out already in August, and probably half the force might have given notice already by election day.
Third, sale of guns?
Well, I anticipate every single home in the city will have a minimum of one guy....maybe even five or six....by election day. I don't see a peaceful period coming out of this.
Probably in the first three months, at least three-hundred folks probably will meet some untimely end. All of this shooting business will push the remaining folks in the city to a new view of things....remaining there is simply not a solution.
Pretty dramatic ending to a once vibrant city.
