When Tolerance Fails

 "Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking so as not to offend the fools."

- Dostoevsky

I am reminded of this...every time that VP Harris speaks.  

Nine Observations

 1.  Why all this hype over the visitor logs to President Biden's personal home in Delaware?

Well...I suspect that with each weekend trip....a doctor came by, and it might be interesting what his expertise is in.

2.  What's this HUD talk about 'equality plans'?

Basically, the Biden team is writing a regulation that each community/town/city....has to have some equality plan to ensure equal 'stuff' to blacks, Latinos, Asians and whites. 

However, once you get into these low-cost neighborhoods built (some in the 1960s)....it'll be obvious that it's mostly a black cheapo home landscape.  So the gimmick will be that you need to either force more whites into these neighborhoods, or somehow build new neighborhoods with more black inclusion.

3.  This White House press spokesperson (KJP).....having trouble with the classified documents story?

Well....the story changes day to day, and the White House (really Biden himself) can't really tell her much of anything.  There would appear to be more than a dozen document 'bosses' handling various pieces and parts of this....with marginal coordination.  

4.  University of Pennsylvania in the hot-seat?

House Oversight Committee has asked just how much they are getting in Chinese funds.   They want the answer under 'oath', and I doubt if anyone at the University wants to play this game.  

5.  Has recycling become cult-like or a religion?

Yeah, and the fact that the news media just skips over this should bother people.

6.  This Alec Baldwin voluntary manslaughter charge?

The prosecutor of the county has gotten the charge approved and is proceeding forward.  My guess....it'll be assigned to some junior guy with minimum experience in handling cases like this, and give Baldwin a fighting chance of winning (not-guilty).  

The problem here....the lady armorer is up for the same charge, and she won't have the same legal representation. 

7.  Why was the CIA director in Kiev?

Anyone's guess....but Ukraine is probably asking for more assessments and information that would normally not be given to a non-NATO member.  

8.  This Santos guy (NY's new House member) was a former drag queen (in Brazil)?

Yeah...pictures out there....maybe ten years ago.  And the NY news journalists didn't figure this out until now?

9.  Some BS story that Putin is dead, and a actor is filling his shoes?

Yeah, the rumor is out there....probably a solid '10' on the BS-meter.  

NZ's Prime Resigns?

 Anything to take out of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern resigning?

Well....back in 2017....her party won the election and she entered as the new PM.  When Covid arrived in early 2020....she hyped-up a lot of harsh mandates.  

From Jan 2021....on her party was sitting in polls at 48-percent, and leading over all other parties (the number two party was around 27-percent in polling).

By Jan 2022....her party had fallen to 40-percent in polling (mostly angry voters over Covid mandates)..

By this month (2023)....her party sits in 2nd place at 32-percent.  Based on trends....had she stayed and kept the theme going....they would have been near 25-percent when the election comes up in the fall. 

The opposition party (the National Party) has a 8-point lead.  

What you can say is that what good will that Arden had.....diminished month by month, and she really could not grasp the negative effect, with it all leading back to Covid practices.  

Trump, Facebook/Meta, and Twitter

 If you follow the news....Trump now says he wants his old FB account turned on.  Basically, all of the reasons given to dump him off FB originally....are now problems because of the FBI allegations and fake chatter stirred up.  

I'm guessing to please the tech employees (more of a cult group than actual employees)....the Z-man will say no, and some court case will develop.  My guess is that it'll revolve around Florida courts, and end up at the Supreme Court by late fall.  It'll be hard for FB to win this.

As for the idea that he'll return to Twitter?  His team will take on the account and speak for him....via Twitter. 

Going toward spring of 2024 and primary season?  I'd say three obvious things:

1.  Biden needs to be out of the picture entirely....his brand/message....even if he's not running will be a problem each day for the Democratic candidate (likely Newsom) to handle.  

2.  If you thought 2016 and 2020 were hyped-up....you haven't seen anything yet.

3.  All of the 'tricks' used in the five 'bitter' states in 2020?  Well...they've been seen and noted....so repeating the same 'tricks' is going to be next to impossible.  

Social media in 2024....will matter.  

Just a Stupid Hunter Question

 Joe's house, was rented to Hunter for a period, and the monthly rent was $49,000.  

If you draw a circle of 2 miles around the house....looking for similar qualities (value of $2-mil)...there are various houses that rent for around $5k to $6k.  

Why would you rent X-house for a whole year, and pay $45,000 more each month?  

(unless you were money-laundering)

Ten Things I Tend To Believe

 1.  If you did crank up a reparations 'check' for blacks over the slavery issue....of $100,000 each, the massive bulk of this money....into the hundreds of billions....would be consumed into the US economy over a one-year period.  I would suggest fewer than 1-perent would still have half of the money by the end of two years.  

2.  None of the private lawyers that Joe Biden hired to do the document search.....probably have clearances for the documents to be found.  Maybe I'm wrong on this....but I doubt it.  

3.  I suspect if visitor logs did exist for President Biden's home visits.....it would show for each single weekend visit....a medical doctor was in the mix.

4.  I think if you 'tested' President Biden and asked him to name ten capitals of ten US states...other than Delaware....he'd fail.

5.  I suspect if you uttered the term 'whore' in a group of college students....you would be censored right away, and a dozen of the hundred would be fragile enough to seek 'help'.  Yet, if you asked the same group to 'define' whore.....they'd mostly be unable to do so.

6.  I think ever since the Pentagon went and said 'yeah....UFOs are real'.....the general public is still at the same rate of UFO-belief (roughly two out of three).  The admittance hasn't really changed the belief numbers in any sort of way.

7.  I think by 2030....ten-percent of the bars in America....will be non-alcoholic bars....meaning that no alcohol of any sort will be sold.  

8.  Some idiot by 2030 will have figured out a DNA way to reproduce Mammoth elephants, and started a herd in Idaho.  

9.  Someone in the next ten years, in Detroit....will have started a local political party under the Taliban platform.  At least one member of the city council of Detroit will come from the group.

10.  A illegal drug will be marketed/sold in the US in the near future, which will put you to sleep for five consecutive days (to be called '120-hour surge').  A IV will have to be applied by your dealer, but it will knock you out for 120 hours.  

My List of the Seven Most Over-Hyped TV Shows

 1.  Suits.  I've tried on two occasions to catch onto the series.  The storyline and text....crap.  

2.  Stranger Things.  I've watched all of the episodes.  I'll just say there was some 'flame' or interest there in season one....but from that point on....it's a teenage series with some soap opera crap and light science fiction.

3.  It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  Presently, I've watched around ten episodes, and will just say that character-wise....it's just awful weak, for people who seemed hyped-up over the series.

4.  Dukes of Hazard.  In my military barracks years....the TV room crowd would demand that the channel be set to this...if it was on.  At some point, we had a drinking game set-up....when character X said 'this' or 'that'.  I had the impression that a 12-year old kid wrote the weekly script.

5.  Moonlighting.  It was hyped because of the two key actors....beyond that....there just wasn't a real script.

6.  3rd Rock From The Sun.  I think I've watched around forty episodes of the series.  The talent was always there, but half the scripts just never delivered.

7.  Walker, Texas Ranger.  Basically, there was 3 minutes of kick-ass routine....mingled around with a introduction of some bad guy, and forty minutes of BS soap opera cop-routine.
