What I'd Do About the DC Statehood Chatter

 1.  Individually, state by state....they ought to pass a 3-line legislation piece that says non-federal territory of DC should be returned by the conclusion of 4th of July 2022 to Maryland.  Federal territory will remain the responsibility of the US federal government.

2.  I'd take the non-federal region and split it into three cities: Georgetown (the far west), Columbia City (from Georgetown corner to the river), and Anacostia (everything east of the river).  I'd thank the city council and mayor for their effort, but admit that their failures led to the breakup.

3.  I'd make a federal law that no one except the President and Vice-President may live on federal grounds of the remaining federal district.  

4.  I'd create a two-star general position to be the 'guardian' of the federal district remaining.  You get the job for three years and then move on.

Observations:

 1.  How fu**ed-up is the new Georgia election law?

Apparently, it hints that to maintain some kind integrity....you can't (as a citizen or Christian)....hand out water or any food...to folks waiting in line.  

By the wording....you could get out of line to receive the cheeseburger, or bottle of water.  You could also get the food or water over in the parking lot....as you get out of the car.  

It just seems like these Republican idiots have gone to make themselves a pretty silly law.  Now, if it'd said no shots of Rum or Jacky D's to be handed out....well, that'd make sense, but water?

2.  Some Minnesota dinner-theater operation cancelled a production of Cinderella....because....well....the whole story and actors in it were too 'white'.

The problem here?  Nutcracker?  Ought to be the same way.  Oklahoma?  Probably the same.  

I got this feeling that musicals and Broadway will die off for two or three years while we get this woke-business out of our head.

3.  The creator and producer of the CBS show 'All Rise'....which is a ultra 'woke' show....was fired for racism this past week.  

4.  This past ten days, I've started watching Trailer Park Boys.  I have to admit....after the first couple of episodes....it's not that bad.  

5.  NBA ratings decline?  Well....after Lebron James was injured, it's an odd thing....some interest just went 'south'.

How Long Will the 25th Amendment Process Take?

 I would imagine that various people within the Biden Administration group have a checklist and writing notes already on Joe Biden's decline.  

Rep Nancy Pelosi probably has a weekly meeting with a special group who go over the public numbers, and the weekly events that he screws up.  They have a date in their mind that they'd like for him to reach before acting on the 25th (my humble guess is the end of 2022).  

If you asked how quick the House/Senate would act?   This process would start on a Monday, with some closed-door episodes, and likely conclude by Wednesday.  Harris would be sworn in very quickly.

Does Harris already a VP choice in her mind?  My guess is that she has three governors on her list, and they've already been interviewed in some fashion.  Just as soon as Biden is dismissed....the name for the new VP will be submitted.  

The speed of this change in government will probably shock a majority of Americans.  

The question of Biden's mental decline?  None of the networks will discuss it after the 25th action is discussed/conducted, and that will shock people as well.

How Big a Deal Was the 1858 Mid-Term?

 Frankly, no one ever talks about this episode.

The Republicans....for the first time ever....got a majority (113 seats).  The Democrats lost 49 seats in the House in this mid-term election of 1858.

Thomas Bocock of Virginia stepped down as House Speaker.  William Pennington of NJ stepped up as the House Speaker (for the Republicans).

For this entire period (January of 1858 to December of 1859)...the Democrats were cornered on every single piece of legislation, and 'doomed'.  

The big state to flip?  Pennsylvania (10 seats lost to the Democrats).  

Even Kentucky was a shocker, with eight of it's ten seats being 'safe' Democratic seats....flipping three of these over to GOP members in 1858.

Tennessee's ten seats?  Seven had been safely held Democratic seats, but in the mid-term election....four were lost....giving it a strong Republican edge in 1858.

So the end of the nation?  It'd already started in 1858....two years before the war. Few today...grasp this election and it's 'wounds' upon the nation. 

The List of Reporters Who Had Insider Questions For Biden

 I sat and reviewed White House Press Conference, these are the reporters with insider questions for President Biden:

Zeke Miller, Associated Press 

Yamiche Alcindor, PBS NewsHour

Seung Min Kim, WaPo

Cecilia Vega, ABC 

Ken Thomas, WSJ

Kristen Welker, NBC 

Nancy Cordes, CBS

Kaitlan Collins, CNN 

Justin Sink, Bloomberg 

Janet Rodriguez, Univision

From the group, you can assume that either they were either handed the questions to ask....or their questions were given to the WH ahead of time to form the answers.  

There's no need to pay attention to their commentary or analysis....they are part of the 'joke'.

What Matters Off the ATF Form 4473?

 Nothing much with questions one through twenty-two....they are fairly standard questions. 

But when you come to the group under question 23....now, you need to pay attention.

For example....it asks you....yes or no....are you buying this for yourself?  It's a plain simple question, but you need to ensure that this is strictly for yourself.

Then there's the question...have you committed a felony...to include your time in the military?  Yes, or no....nothing inbetween.

Are you charged and the cops hunting for you?  Yes, or no.

Are you a user of any drug (to include weed)?  Yes, or no.  If you've been on some crack, and gotten busted two years ago....you need to say 'yes'.   If you got busted for a baggy of weed six weeks ago....you need to say 'yes'.

Do you have a mental defect?  Yes, or no.  If you've been to some clinic and they say you have elements of paranoid schizophrenia?  That would be a mental defect.

So we come to Hunter Biden.  His discharge from the Navy?  Regular discharge, not a dishonorable one.  He simply failed the drug test, and they let him go.  For that episode....he's clear.

When filling out the 4473?  Well....here's the thing, by the admission to the Navy to get the regular discharge....he just admitted he had an issue.  Once he walked in and bought the weapon....filling out the 4473, he had to admit that he had been a cocaine user in the past.  

The fact that he's been a regular cocaine user for probably two decades?  Again, he had to admit that on the 4473, or he did an illegal purchase.

The problem I see here....since the form still exists, and the Secret Service was not successful in getting it from the gun shop (silly boys from the Secret Service)....you got a serious gun violation.

But I would go and ask this question....out of a 17-million 4473's filled out in 2020....how many were screwed-up like this, in a Hunter-fashion?  How many had drug violations or mental health violations?  Five percent?  Ten-percent?  

It's silly to talk over this Hunter Biden case, but it shows the whole discussion going on.  

Yeah, He Was That Stupid

 Kinda funny, photo appeared today.

President Biden had a cheat-sheet with pictures of the reporters to call upon and the ones marked for 'best' questions.

So the prepared list of 'answers'?  They were already known....maybe days....maybe weeks.

You just have to start laughing....it is that stupid, and he probably can't do the job intended.  

The ones not marked....he's probably told NOT to accept questions from them.  

It's about as fake a government as you can get.
