For a couple of weeks, I've heard this 'chatter' about 2,975 local folks in Puerto Rico had died from the hurricane business (instead of the couple dozen widely reported in the month after the event).
So I have this nifty idea. I think the Senators should get together and make a memorial-type statue in San Juan, and have all of the 2,975 names listed on the memorial.
Course, the question is.....is there actually a list of the dead folks? You know....the 2,975 folks?
It ought to be a big memorial.....worth at least 10-million in my humble opinion, and ought to have some fancy night-lights and maybe a scripture or two written on it to remember the folks who died.

Google Talk
I sat and looked over political news this morning.....over how folks are hyped up over Google's executive talking after the November 2016 election, and how upset employees and managers were of the Hillary loss. At some meeting, the bosses even talked on how voters needed to be 'educated' or taught how to handle voting.
After the 1972 presidential election (a dismal defeat for McGovern, with almost 20 points separating him from Nixon)....a lot of the leadership were consumed with a pro-McGovern attitude, and started chatting about 'stupid' voters and how they needed to educate society on how to handle voting.
The thing that bothers me here....you see Google executives, along with those of Twitter and Facebook....resolved to some type of political games.
Would you expect that out of GM, Coke, Pizza Hut, Costco, or Honda? No.
If this kind of behavior were coming from the Kansas City Royals, Dallas Cowboys or Chicago Bulls? No, you wouldn't accept that either.
If this were Hollywood studios producing Marvel-theme movies related to politics or pro-Hillary type scenarios? No, you wouldn't accept that either.
Would it bother you if your burger chain was all hyped-up and attempted to be a pro-Hillary burger chain?
Would it bother you if your toilet paper makers were all hyped and attempted to be a pro-Hillary toilet paper company?
If I were holding stock with Google, Facebook or Twitter.....I'd be asking questions about work-time and political-time, and how this amounts to some kind of profit.

What was the Hillary 'Dirt'?
It's an odd part of this nightly news agenda story, which continually goes back to the Russians having 'dirt' on Hillary. At no point, in the past eighteen months.....has anyone said what exactly the Russians had for 'dirt'. It's amusing in a way.....it gets brought up, and then 'glazed over'. No one ever asks....what dirt?
Did the Russians ever have real 'dirt'? No one can say.
Did the Russians have fake 'dirt'? No one can say.
Did the Russians think they had dirt and really.....it didn't amount to anything? No one can say.
Did the FBI believe they had 'dirt'? No one can say.
Did Hillary believe they had 'dirt'? No one can say.
Did Trump believe they had 'dirt'? No one can say.
One could write a 500-page book on the whole story, except never say precisely.....what dirt really existed....if any.
It's just an odd thing. Here was the pee-dossier existing, but no such Hillary-dirt-dossier existing?

The North Carolina Story
This week, ICE (our border protection folks) came out to North Carolina and laid down a legal request for all voting lists in the state. North Carolina? They've gone to court to prevent the records going over to ICE. What'll happen? Some federal judge might be able to stall this for 60 days (my suspicion) but on appeals....ICE will get the records by the end of the year.
So what happens then?
They will NOT review for dead voters, or voters from other states who vote multiple times.
What they will review for? Foreign students who are registered to vote and on a student visa (easy to check), and then look at names that pop up under work-visas.
How many might pop-up? One can only guess. Wake Forest, Duke, and NCS attract foreign students. I might be willing to bet that at least 500 will show up as registered to vote. On the work-visa business? I might suggest that 5,000 to 15,000 might show up in registered to vote. All total? You might actually get near the 15,000 to 20,000.
But having this out in front and prior to the November 2018 election? Well....if I was stupid and illegally registered....I would NOT be going to vote, and maybe in the Duke area and around the Raleigh area....folks might be too scared to show up and vote.
The question is.....after you finish up the analysis and begin to go and pick up people.....like foreign students....then you do up charges, it's going to scare folks across the nation. But I don't think ICE is done. This will only be choice number one. My humble guess is that by August of 2019....they've gone and picked two to four additional states.
Over the next five years, ICE might continue and review all fifty states. I hate to suggest it.....but you might find well over 50,000 foreign students in the US....who are registered to vote. Foreign-work-visa people? There might be well over 300,000 nationally registered to vote.
All of this...as it leads out into the public and people have a chance to understand the dynamics of fake voters, will simply infuriate the public on how corrupted the voting system has become.

The Odds That the Op-Ed New York Times Guy is Trump
Well....the Times does hint that they have some relationship with the guy, but they aren't very clear on 'HOW'. So you are left to speculate.
Maybe Donald Trump had his geek-guys set up some fake email account, and for almost two years.....Trump late at night, has sent various bits of data and info to the NY Times....feeding them some insider info, and they've praised him continually on the privileged information coming in.
Is it possible that Trump himself is the insider?
I've sat and pondered this. CNN folks and the Washington Post folks....seem to glee over the fact that they know the guy, but then....maybe it's all just fake stuff, and the NY Times simply plays along and thinks they got the real insider to the White House staff.
Of course, it sounds crazy....but Trump has learned to use the news media at almost every single junction. Maybe he figured long ago....to use them for a long-term goal.

Nike-Kaepernick Episde
My theory?
I think some insiders to Nike (not the board but way down the line)....were talked into a situation to help bring the share price of Nike down to the $35 to $40 range (currently at $79.60), and their tool was to convince the Board to go with a Kaepernick contract.
Why? Well...I think the logic is that around one-quarter of the normal customers will now avoid the brand, and it'll trigger some losses on profits (probably to be noticeable in the fall of 2019), after one-year.
The share price will reach a stage where an unfriendly take-over is then possible...in essence, buying Nike at a discounted price because of the customer loss and profits. Who? I can only speculate, but it would not surprise if the buyer off in the distance is a Chinese brand looking to scoop up Nike at a cheap price.
To be honest, I buy an average of three Nike shirts a year....mostly because of the quality. I see the whole Kaepernick 'chat' as mostly a fraud, and you were dealing with a a good but average NFL quarterback. Nike was convinced to make him into some icon figure, and think the negativity will just be a short-term thing.

The 3 Chief Questions of 2020's Presidential Election
1. Can Gary Johnson pull 4.5-million again, with Jill Stein pulling 1.5-million Green Party votes nationwide? My guess is that they can't.
2. There are a couple of blue state wins for Hillary that were roughly two-percent wins.....can the Democrats repeat in those states? The states are Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire.
3. Will a 25-percent turnout for black voters for Trump make that big of a difference?
