Six Q-and-A

 1.  Are there black-jobs? 

Yes, of course.  Same as there being dumb-ass jobs....jobs just for women....jobs for 5th-grade graduates, and cooking jobs for non-cooks.

2.  Is there really any problem with having Harris as President?

Nope.  In fact, I think CNN and most journalists would just stop covering the White House after two weeks, and we'd all be better off with less coverage.

3.  Any truth to the matter that some news folks are attempting a poll with only Dementia folks, to see if Joe Biden is their pick?

No.

4.  Did 'they' (the whole Democratic Party elite) miscalculate with Donald Trump?

Well....I think up until 2016....they were used to stupid lawyer types running for office for the most part.  'Speech-givers' and 'mystical-Jesus-types'....who oozed charisma in one-gallon buckets.

Along comes Trump who understands the act of persuasion, a guy who actually reads the Wall Street Journal, and can spend an entire hour talking about business, commerce, and the economy.   When the North American Free-Trade Agreement was built up and set loose upon the US economy like some 'demon'....he understood the impact, and the massive anger that infected the nation.  

The 'kids' from the Republican and Democratic Parties?  They were standing there and unable to grasp how well Trump was accepted, or the amount  of stamina that he had for  the 'game'.  

At this point? There's just not many 'tricks' left in the bag, and for some reason....Biden isn't among the 'tricks'.

5.  Some fed 'push' to create a massive 'free' hot-spot WI-FI access across the nation?

I sat and read the idea....would be gifted out to communities  that you'd consider 3rd-world-like or bottom of the economic class.   How you'd determine a barrier to only help the poorest of the poor?  Unknown.

6.  If Joe Biden has dementia.....can he legally take classified with him as he leaves office?

I've been contemplating this question for a year now.  Usually, all Presidents take classified with them as they retire and it's for their 'records'.  If he is mentally unfit....who actually is going to read the material?

Is Joe Biden Worth $100-Million On A Book Deal?

 I read a piece where Jill (his wife) is pushing for a book deal.  She wants some publisher to come up and put $100-million on the table for a complete book.

I pondered over this.

First, I doubt seriously that Joe himself....would write the book.  Jill would either hire some guy to write it, or write it herself.

Second, I can't see massive interest....maybe 100,000 copies would sell at best.

Third, actual offering?  I could see someone stepping up and putting $5-million on table....half now and half when you finish the book.

Fourth, but what exactly is 'juicy' to be included in the book?  Would Joe mention the 8 days he was on a secret CIA mission to Belize in the 1960s?  Would Joe mention some secret romance with some Hollywood gal in the 1970s?  Would Joe talk about some safari adventure where the tiger almost ate him?

Finally, I come to this odd problem....would you read a book that some guy with full-blown dementia wrote?  I think most people would be shaking their head because of the background of the guy.

So, when you hear about some book-deal.....that's the basic introduction.  

Fragile Discussion

 I read over a piece originating from the Interior Department this AM....where they got 'huffy' over the word-use of the term 'man-made'.  More or less.....you shouldn't utter man-made in front of people....because it trigger them to react.

If you asked over my 65 years....how many times I've uttered man-made....I'd likely draw out two shots of some good Kentucky whiskey and calculate this.....maybe admitting I've used the term about one-hundred times.  My use?  Mostly around canals, reservoirs, lakes, Indian-burial mounds, and ditches.  

Getting someone disturbed by use?  Well....my comeback would be....where exactly are you drawing the line?  

I would imagine there are at least forty terms now that normal people aren't supposed to use/utter....around sensitive or fragile people.  Once you've conveyed your status to me....instead of trimming my vocabulary....I'm more likely to disconnect and keep a 12-foot distance from the fragile person.....avoiding contact.

Ways to overcome man-made?  Well.....you could utter creature-made, human-made, or possibly non-act-of-God-made.  Making things more  complicated?  Well...yeah, there is that one issue.  Maybe it's best not to describe who or what made 'IT'....don't get too complicated....just utter you are thankful it got made.  

This Whole Public Camping Law Chat

 The Supreme Court came up late last week and said that Americans don't have a right to camp on public property (meaning on sidewalks, city parks, etc).  A city can displace the public campers.

When all this homeless 'hype' started up a decade ago....no one really envisioned 'druggies' being in the mix, and that long-term camping (say for 20 years) would be acceptable.

Having been on the end of military deployments and their vision of long-term camping.....there are three essential elements.

First, sanitation is a key factor.  You can't show me a single public camping situation in SF, Portland, Seattle, or LA.....where you don't have rats/mice.  Every single health agency ought to be doing their job and shutting down public camping. 

Second, safety is an absolute must.  You can't have a quarter of your 'tent-city' on some drug-rage and you worried about getting killed over some comment you made over the Power-Rangers, the pitching staff of the Detroit Tigers, or the best way to cook ribs.  

Third and final....when someone says long-term camping (at least to a Army or Air Force guy)....there's a limit.  Army folks might be agreeable to two or three months of this style of living....Air Force guy might have six weeks of patience....to live in 1-star $90 tent.  

For those cities who want to be 'helpful'?  Select a point at the end of town....50 acres of property, and add public toilets/showers, and some covered patio area for dispersal of food.  Register the guy at the gate, and have the police monitor the camp.  Drug-use?  Don't accept it....force rehab.

The point on this discussion that I shake my head on.....how can a guy go and find this healthy (mentally) for a mid-20s person to sign up for 40 years of camping lifestyle?  

Four Observations

 1.  Just odd...timing of Hillary Clinton's book (presently) and a month-long period of interviews across the nation to sell the book/brand.

You'd think she was competing for the VP slot under Gov Newsom.

2.  Pressure on VP Harris to 25th-Amendment Joe Biden because of dementia?  Well....I'd suggest by mid-July....the House will be putting pressure on her.  

If she did do something like this and become President.....Newsom's 'game' is crapped-out and Harris might be the one winning in the convention.

3.  Science study done....proving that if  you exercise a lot....you tend to see things in slow-motion (at least you think/believe that).  

If you do zero exercise....you see reality in 'real' time....no slow-mo.

Having hauled hay in my youth....I would agree....a 8-hour day hauling hay feels like 40-hours of work....bundled  in a short-time spell.

4.  McPlant burger at McDonalds done....consumer interest wasn't there.  Would be interesting to know how much they wasted in developing it, and trying to brand it.

Three Humble Thoughts Over The Biden-Trump Debate

 1.  Pretty shocking....CNN actually ran a pretty decent debate.  The two commercial breaks?  Total waste in my opinion.

2.  Blink rate of Biden at several points....one blink per 50-odd seconds.  He was on some simulant but he also seemed drained of energy.

3.  The necessity to dump Biden?  Existing....but there's six weeks before the Convention.  Joe might be convinced not to step down, and just continue on.  

Odds of a 2nd debate?  ZERO.

Ten Humble Thoughts

 1.  Odd podcast I watched this AM.....mid-30s gal....claims she wasn’t allowed to board a United flight with her baby.  Reason?  She “misgendered” a nonbinary counter-attendant. 

Half-a-million people will likely view the video, and stage their own non-use of United over this.  

2.  After a while of accommodating things to accept a dementia guy in charge....it's not that hard to accept a bus-driver who has dementia, or a Waffle-House cook with dementia, or a bank-president with dementia, or even a doctor with dementia.

It took me a while to grasp this, but it makes perfect sense.

3.  One of the best ways to help achieve society’s collapse.....is to isolate people from your circle or refuse to recognize their opinion.  

4.  It's just odd....how people know all nine members of Supreme Court.....rather than remembering the starting line-up of the NY Yankees.

5.  I saw a video of Ashley Biden (Joe's daughter) speaking yesterday.  After about 30 seconds....I'm prone to suggest she was on medication.

6.  I think by 2025's conclusion....Disney will try to market 'Star Wars' for sale, and admit that they really screwed up the story.

7.  The minute I notice you having more than two tattoos.....I'm disengaged and likely thinking you have a 'problem'.

8.  Watching CNN for more than 10 minutes....I get this feeling of being in some cult-group.    

9.  There should be some kind of index used to determine how brainwashable people are, and certain job fields should be denied to those with a '7' or more on the index.  

10.  Just odd....Biden as a Senator....wrote a law to ban gays from the military.  This week, he hyped up the idea of a mass-pardon for all gays booted out from that law era.

I suspect, if President Biden wins in November....by 2029....he will have given every single American at least one to two pardons for something.
