Five Things I Expect Out Of The 27 June Biden-Trump Debate

 1.  As much as you think it's a Biden versus Trump debate....it's really to be a Trump versus CNN debate, and possibly the ending of any 'trust' with CNN and the general public.  CNN may not have come to grasp this yet....but they are on the outer limits of trust with most of the public presently.

2.  If Biden is heavily medicated (as a fair number of people believe)....I would expect him to show up heavily medicated and treated with another 'dose' of medication during the commercial break.  Trump (after the first commercial) will joke if Joe got 'enough' during the pause.

3.  If Biden pauses heavily at some question asked.....it's likely that this is a unrehearsed question and he's pausing....wondering why they went off-script.

4.  It's not enough to tie with Trump in this debate....Biden really needs to 'win'....to avoid some talk of dumping him at the convention.

5.  I'm interested in the theory that CNN's job here is to make Biden look bad enough....that he has to exit at the convention and allow a new person to enter.  The question to open this 'door'?  Make him explain Bidenomics.  

The Approaching Draft

 I'm one of those people who believe the Army/Air Force/Navy recruitment program is 'twisted-up' and will fail by 2030.  My meaning?  The services will have a empty 'hole' of approximately 100,000 to 150,000 billets.  It'll be to the point that every unit existing....is slicing tasks....manned to a max of 90-percent,  and some 100k contractors are hired to do particular tasks.

At some point between 2030 and 2035....a draft (I predict) will  occur.

Then you will come to discover five remarkable facts:

1.  Around 25-percent of drafted folks....age 18 to 27....will  be unwilling to take orders.   

2. Around 40-percent will be confessing that they use both legal and illegal drugs.....on a weekly basis.  They will also tell the judge in the middle of things....they have no desire to clean themselves up.

3.  At least 10-percent of the drafted will be tested and shown unable to meet even the idiot-level on IQ testing.  Some will only be able to read at the 4th grade level.

4.  At least five-percent of those drafted....will tell the judge involved....they'd rather go to prison, than serve.

5.  Ten-percent of those drafted will  identify as animals or mentally unbalanced....thus getting them out of the draft status.  

In simple terms....just to reach 100,000 draftees...you probably will have to draft 250,000 folks.  

I worked with a NCO in 1978....he'd come in around 1968.  He brought up this airman in basic training....who after 4 weeks....the Air Force had decided they weren't going to waste any additional time on the guy.  His problem?  He was not going to take any order that he considered stupid.  The boot camp 'bosses' felt he'd come around after a week or two....well, it never did happen.  

I ponder upon this story, and just wonder how various officers will find the patience to handle future recruits in this landscape.

Harvard Study

 Couple of Harvard PhD guys/gals....sat down and did some thinking/calculating...then wrote a research paper (published by Harvard's Human Flourishing Program).  

Topic?  The guys said they think non-human/alien entities may be living among us, appearing as humans.

About two or three days after publishing....Harvard pulled the paper.  

I sat and looked over a copy of it before it was yanked.

So...there's zero factual evidence to back this up.  

The folks merely suggest that it's very likely that android-like 'entities' exist around and appear human-like....having some kind of lifestyle presence.  

I pondered upon this.  You could have 10,000 of them on  Earth....owning companies...operating social media....avoiding medical procedures or tests to identify them as non-human (meaning they aren't playing basketball or ice hockey).

Elon?  Well....yeah, he could be a non-human.  Trump?  No....he's had various health tests.  

I probably wasted an hour today thinking over this idea.

I settled on this one issue....WHY?

The only thing I could settle on....they had some instruction imbedded into their system....to guard over and bring mankind to a position.  

Good androids or bad androids?  The Harvard guys didn't seem to touch that topic.

Did the guests bring us Marvel, or design Amazon, or get jobs with CNN?   There's a thousand questions I would ask.

Counterfeit Part Story

 

I sat and pondered over this story today.  Both major airline companies in the world....both fooled in some way with fake titanium-looking metal sold to them for parts.

Problems?

You would have to go and look at every single plane made....test each part, and if fake....replace.

I would imagine purely from an audit experience....you'd be talking about three years from beginning to end.

I sat in a briefing within the Pentagon back  in the 2012 era....where they talked about fake Chinese-made components were being found in US-made desktop/laptop computers.  It could be a $100 graphics board....that sold as a fake copy for $25.  The middle guy?  Taking the $75 profit.  This guy would buy a thousand copies, and slip them into the manufacturing process.

If any of these Airbus or Boeing planes fail and the fake parts are identified as the cause?  Well....the court business would get into the billions.

But why stop there?  It's the same way with brake pads.....you could take the Ford F150 over to a garage....have the genuine pads installed....to grasp six weeks later, they failed because they were crappy Chinese-copies.

The AC unit you have in the house?  It might have five or six components which are not Japanese-made  as you thought....but cheap Chinese-copies.

It should worry people.

Just Six Observations

 1.  The NBA will 'give' the WNBA around $50-million this year....to cover losses.  So one would ask....what would help to make up the $50-million (allowing the NBA to keep their money)?  Pause here....some remarkable incoming star to hype TV viewing of games?

2.  After having watched about twenty-odd clips of President Biden at the G7 meeting.  

Yeah, I would agree....he needed someone to mostly lead or herd him to the proper standing/sitting  points.  So the question is....if nuke time came up....do they have someone ready to lead or point toward the nuke codes?

3.  I had to look up the word 'SYCOPHANT'.  Defining it?  Well...it's a guy/gal who says a bunch of BS...to get attention or recognition...strictly for his position (to gain or maintain).  Could you be one sycophant surrounded by additional sycophants (like 3 or 4 panel members on a CNN group)?  Well.....yeah, that's entirely possible.

In Alabama-lingo....'brown-noser' would be the same word.

4.  House passed a new law to automatically register guys for the draft at age 18 (up to 27).  

Reason?  If you notice....Army, Air Force, and Navy are all having problems (back in 2023, and here now in 2024).  I would assume even in 2025 and 2026....it'll continue.

At some point, my humble view...around 2028, they will have no choice but to draft around 100,000 18/19 year old young men.  

Will this work?  Probably around 70,000 will show up with serious weight issues (30 pounds over the max), drug issues, mental issues (obvious paranoid schizophrenia for example), or criminal records/members of some gang.  The first year of this draft will be a 5-star failure with one out of three stamped 'invalid'.  Another third will be released within 12 months of being drafted.

5.  Best Trump quote ever: "I have never seen a thin person drinking a Diet-Coke."

Given a choice of meal with a Diet-Coke, prune juice or fizzy water.....the Diet-Coke will always be last for me.

6.  My prediction of when Biden announces he's removing his name and giving the Convention a chance to select the replacement?  

The week after the 27 June debate with Trump.

I suspect that CNN's crew will  have pre-written questions for Biden, and along about the 2nd or 3rd question....they start to ask unknown questions....with Joe standing there confused and unable to recite what he memorized.   

The Biden crew over the next seven days will reflect upon the mess they have, and give up.  At the same time....questions will arise if VP Harris should take over.  Democrats will be in shock as half of the news media advocates that Biden has to be removed from his position, with Harris moving up, and some folks now discussing who the new VP  should be.

Chow Hall Story

 I sat and read a peculiar story today....over how the Pentagon is seeking some kind of 'approval'  to feed American troops ‘experimental’ lab-grown meat in order to reduce CO2 footprint.

They seem to want some gov't agency to say it's 'OK'.

I paused over this.

For the better part of seven years.....in my Air Force years....I ate chow-hall food.  For breakfast, I learned quickly that they could screw up and give you some spoiled food....which could lead to a ambulance call (1977, at the tech school in Texas....they had to pick up three guys over an hour with awful bad stomach cramps).

Would military folks eat fake-meat?  If you said the word 'experimental'....then I'm pretty sure that 98-percent would say 'NO thanks'.  If you leave out 'experimental'....you might get up to 5-percent willing to try it.

Cheaper than meat?  Well...this is the interesting part of the story.   Back in 2021....some analysis was done, and the experts said per pound....lab-grown meat would cost a minimum of $17 (possibly getting up to $23).....while regular meat was around $6. 

So cost is going to be an issue for the funds-limited chow hall folks.

My belief?  It'll come in....be served to a small number of folks....some kind of stomach cramp problem will come up as a mystery health issue, and quietly be retired after 18 months.  

Four Things I Don't Understand About Hunter Biden

 1.  Why buy a gun?

Did someone in the drug-business make a threat?  It just doesn't make much sense....you go through life and after age 40.....then you buy a pistol.

2.  If you are a regular (daily) user of cocaine....is it that bright to have a pistol around in your possession?

3.  With all the stuff on the laptop now analyzed.....with 300-odd charges that you could rack up....it's a paperwork drill that you screw up on?

4.  Then finally, why did the sister-in-law of Hunter's....need to be told/updated that he had a gun....then why did she react by taking the gun away and tossing it into a dumpster?
