Observations

 1.  This Presidential 'visit' to Nantucket.....with the strange vehicle fire that started up with the Secret Service rental vehicles?  Started with one, and it appears around six cars burned up in the parking lot.

I'll just say that it's odd.  

Some state guy will investigate this and probably spend more than a hundred man-hours trying to get to the bottom of this.  Loss?  Way above $200k.  

2.  Rep Adam Schiff has come up now to say that complying with House subpoenas is optional.  Rather odd to say it this way, and it was exact opposite a year ago.

3.  Maricopa County Arizona....being capable in November 2024 of running a single day of election activity?  

I would suggest that one month prior to the election....a practice day with 1,000 voters be held (at each site).  If anything fails.....remove computerized voting entirely and never bring it up again.

4.  Kanye West and this Nazi chatter?  

Look....he's mentally challenged and how he ever got to be some celebrity-type individual is beyond me.  Probably 98-percent of what he says....is coming out of some prescription pill gimmick, and not worth discussing.

5.  Some advice....if ever meeting a complete stranger (that you might not ever meet again)....stick with three questions: (1) Hows the weather, (2) Seen any good movies lately, and (3) Favorite character of Game of Thrones?

Beyond that....just don't ask any stupid questions or fake-pretend you really want to know the stranger.

6.  Notice all this recent hype-chatter over the flu?  It's like people waking up a century after Covid and realizing that flu still exists.

Primary Chatter

 For over 50 years.....the primary season started in Iowa and New Hampshire.  If you asked for the logical reason to this....it was supposed to be a build-up....so when you got to state 20 to 40 (four week period)...everyone who had a chance...had their act together.

I noticed this AM....the DNC is talking over an idea of reshuffling the primary season.

Logic?  They simply say to have a more 'diverse' state at the beginning.

California or NY?  Well....they didn't say that.

They want a meeting and to discuss options.

Part of this problem relates to Iowa and the method they use there....where groups meet and openly discuss 'brand-names' and 'promises'.  Hillary....did rather badly in the two times running....starting off in Iowa.  If they'd started in Michigan or Washington state?  She would have done better.

The problem I see here....if you went to 1st primary (say in California), then went to Nevada and South Carolina....you'd wipe out a bunch of folks in the first seven days.  There would just be one or two candidates by state five.  

All of this being built for Newsom?  Well...you can't help but notice that he's not charging up the Democratic base, and in half the states.....he wouldn't rate as a winner.

Personally?  I'd like to line up 25 states to all have their primary run around the first week of March, and the remaining 25 around the first week of April.  Yes, as bunched up as possible.

I'd also make a rule for the entire year prior to the primary year....zero paid advertising on TV, radio, newspapers, or the internet.

So prepare for some wild stuff in 2024.

Something To Think About

I sat and read through this Times story in the AM.  

What the mayor says....is that some policy will be created (apparently using current laws) and if you were seriously mentally ill....they'd go back to the old system of hauling you off to a eval, and then setting you down in a permanent facility.

Will it happen? I would imagine that the police, prosecutors, and judges have been given a weekly number (say twenty), and that's the limit.  Yeah, it's mostly say there are crazies, and they will be put away, but you won't dare go and haul off 600 people the first week.  
 

I grew up in Alabama in the 1970s.  Within five miles....I'd say that we had around ten folks who probably were crazy enough....to be in a facility, but not dangerous-crazy where they were a threat.  If you drove around the state, we probably had more than 50,000 people with that crazy tendency.  

Having spent some days in NY City....I'm prone to say that there might be 20,000 just in the city at large, and 3,000 of them are a threat to public safety.  

But here's the thing.....do you really want to pay around $500 a day for some institution to care/guard each guy?  You'd be talking about $1.5 million a day....messing around with them.  You'd be  better off to just agree to giving them government-funded fentanyl each morning....after each breakfast, and letting them sleep off their life in some field (upstate region).  

Things in 2023 That You Might Want To Prepare Yourself For

 1.  China revolution, where production for just about everything you buy at Wal-Mart....halts.

Could be a month....could be six months.  

All this Covid chatter and strategy to test folks daily?  It's not workable. 

2.  One way or another....Joe Biden is probably leaving the White House.  Even if you think VP Harris is  dimwit.....you need to just accept the fact that she'll run things for a while.

3.  Gas prices by mid-summer of 2023....probably will be between 4.50 and 5.00 a gallon.  Saudis have the best cards on the table presently.

4.  Some kind of weird bondage 'lifestyle' will start to be seen in 8th grade to 12th grade kids.  

5.  SEC will try to control crypto currency.....most of the currency folks will refuse to participate.

6.  A couple hundred activist-teachers will be let go, and find it's nearly impossible to find real employment in their field.

7.  An agenda will start up where various states want to cities within their state to be 'disposed' or made into a state by themselves (NY, Oregon and Georgia will be in the group).

8.  Disney will announce that the 'books' will show about half of the 2022 'profits' are just imaginary.  SEC will demand a full audit and explanation.

Trying To Explain The FTX Scandal To A 10-Year Old Kid

 So you sit 'Timmy' in a chair, and you start with: 'This guy had this idea to sell invisible beans as money.'

Timmy is already shaking his head.

This guy....Sammy....got this idea after watching Ninja Turtles or some zombie movies.

Sammy went out and hyped up this idea that if you bought his invisible money....it'd be worth X, and possibly gain profits....day by day.

Along came these folks who had real money, but didn't want to admit they had real money.  So they bought some of Sammy's invisible money....to move from Hong Kong to the US, or from the US to Hong Kong.

All along, Sammy  was hyping how great it was to have invisible money.

Sammy started talking about all this profit he had, and he was given real money (not the invisible money) to various political people.  Why he couldn't give the invisible money to them....is basically a mystery.

Somewhere along the way, Sammy started having sex day by day, with fellow workers (actually VIP employees).  The people buying the invisible money....didn't really care.

When Sammy got interviewed for TV....he usually showed up in shorts and a t-shirt.

At some point, the value of the invisible money shifted, and in roughly a week....the vault of invisible money and real money....just literally disappeared.  Sammy was very shocked.

At this point....literally everyone was shocked that the invisible money was gone, and that you couldn't invent more invisible money to make up for the lost invisible money.

Timmy interrupts you to ask.....isn't this where the fed guys or the FBI would enter? 

Well....Timmy, normally....yeah.  But no one from the FBI or fed stuff really cares.  There's some kind of orange demon guy running around and real law thugs just don't have time to waste on invisible money.  

To be honest on this as well Timmy....Sammy shared a lot of his real money (not the invisible money), with political people, and they were supposed to provide invisible support/help.....to further the invisible agenda.  

Timmy starts getting impatient about this invisible money story, and finally asks....what's the damn morale to this fable?

Well...Timmy, it's OK to have invisible friends....but once you have real money in your hand.....don't go pretending it relates in some way to real money.  A nickel is a nickel, unless you swapped it for some invisible money.  

Ancient Apocalypse: My Humble Feeling Over The Netflix Show

 Graham Hancock produced the show....roughly six episodes.

He examines various cultures that lived, and then disappeared....leaving various mystery structures.

So to lay out his opinion.....he believes as the Younger Dryes period (12,900 years ago) started up....that whole bunch of cultures went 'belly-up' (likely a meteor hit).  These cultures....if you measured up their use of technology.....were probably at the 1890s level of existence.  

In his scenario....only a limited number of this group survived, and they went out into the hunter-gatherer world....providing x-amount of their knowledge. 

Archelogy today?  They can't really stamp his version correct, and they have a fair number of empty holes....where their 'story' can't fit correctly.

My advice, if you can find the show....watch it.  I'm not saying he has a perfect fix for the story he tells, but there's a lot of stuff which really can't be explained.  

Observations

 1.  CNN came out and said that these rumors of them moving to the 'center' on political chatter were all BS.

I'm certainly glad of that....it'll help to financially get them deeper into a pit where some Mexican cartel organization can buy them for nickels and dimes.

2.  So far, with these pipe-bombs on the 6th of January of 2021.....the FBI has done mostly nothing.  This past week, they admitted zero interest.  Why?  No one says much.

3.  NYC appears close to approving a law that says you (as a landlord) can do a background check on a potential renter....to find if they had a criminal record.

What it'll trigger?  One of two things: (1) Large segment of population with such records are going to be flushed into leaving NYC, or (2) Large segment of population with criminal records getting alternate IDs (claiming migrant status out of Honduras or such).

4.  The odds of a civil confrontation in China?  

Based on the Covid 'rules', one can see a lot of criticism going on, and lower production of exportable items.

It begs the question if a conflict occurs.....just how long can the civilized world operate....without Chinese products?
