Universal 'Universal' Background Checks

 I was reading a piece out there today where someone put a pretty wild idea on the table....universal background checks....for literally everything:

If you going to apply for welfare benefits....you do a universal background check.

Want to petition your government for something....go down to the country clerk's office and have a universal background check done on your prior to starting the campaign.

Want to get married?  Visit the country clerk and have a universal background check done on both people.  

Flying somewhere?  As you stand there at the airline desk or travel agent....submit your info for a brief universal background check.  

Crossing the border back into the US (from a cruise, or a trip to Mexico)?  Show your info for a brief universal background check.

Opening a bank account?  Do a universal background check.

Literally everything connected?  Yes.  And it'd all be free of charge....government 'chip' ID, and establish quick ten-year prison sentences for fraudulent episodes....federal case and no waiver out of the deal.

Pain in the ass?  No doubt.  But overnight, you'd start to find out various things that existed for decades, and police would be falling over themselves....connecting cases left and right.  

Eric Trump's Commentary over Joe Biden

 I'd strongly suggest a read (five minutes required) of Eric Trump's analysis of Joe Biden, and why he might be around for four years.

First, let me suggest this....from the summer of 2019 to December of 2019....Senator Harris's attempt at the Presidential election went from zero to 10 mph.  This is one of the more fascinating things about the campaign that she ran.  In December of 2019...she made the decision to exit because she wasn't gaining on any poll.

These days, if you intend to survive through the first dozen state primaries.....you need attention....connections to the public....and some real cash (probably more than 20 million).  She was more or less.....a '3' if you went by the scale of one to ten, as you approach the first primary.

So you come to the convention and the necessity of picking a VP.  I would imagine that Joe Biden was given a strongly worded direction by the Democratic Party.....the VP choice had to be a black or Latino female.  They might have given him a list of ten possible candidates, and just said....any of them can be the VP.  So Joe might say that he had control, but the truth was.....he had no control.

What Eric Trump writes in his piece is that Joe Biden (with his wife in full agreement)....intends to last out the full four years, and every single action done to give VP Harris 'work-to-do'....is intended to show that she's not capable of doing anything.

As you get to the end of 2021....there's probably going to be a dozen jobs that Harris was taken on, and mostly all failed upon. 

Then Pelosi and company will look at the ease of the 25th Amendment, and dumping Biden.....realizing they have an extremely weak VP to perform executive work.

A wise point?  I have some doubts, but here's the thing.....whatever weakness she showed in 2019 for the primary and campaign period.....has not gone away, and they have a marginal person to take over.

Can President Biden last four full years?  Would everyone in the news media just look the other way for four years, and let 'Uncle Joe' give five or six dementia demonstrations weekly....just letting it go?

'Biden-Kids'

 It's just an odd thing....if you were to buy a gun or open up a day-care center....you'd be required to do a background check.  But if you are connected to the migrant-kid business and providing housing or care for the 'Biden-kids'.....no background check.

I sat and read over this deal, and just pondered....background checks aren't that big of a deal.  Ninety-percent of the general public could probably pass with no effort...other than filling out the form, and waiting a couple of days for this return....successful.

So it doesn't make much sense, unless some of these people yo are dealing with for the 'Biden-kids' are previous jail-guests or had charges in the past.

Really....the more you ponder over this....the more illogical this situation becomes. 

What'll eventually happen?  One of these guys arranging housing or care....will slip up and some news journalist will figure out his past crimes, and then some big event happens to beg the question....who made this decision about skipping background investigations.

Authorized Human Trafficking

 Is the Biden-team effort to resettle all these migrant 'kids' into US homes.....'human-trafficking'?

I sat and paused over various stories that came out over the weekend.  Various private efforts to be temporary foster-parents have been approached (heavily in California)....to take in these migrant kids.  Most stand there, and eventually ask....isn't this the same as human-trafficking?

My general issue?  Even if you found 3,000 of these families willing to take in four 'kids' each (getting paid by the government for this action)....the majority won't speak the language of the 'kids'.  How this could effectively work?  I have no idea.  

I would regard this as the biggest potential mess that the Biden-team now faces.  Someone in the next month will go to court and probably accuse members of the administration of human-trafficking and it'll be painful to see this play out with the news media. 

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.
