The New York Times went and asked all 21 Democrats running for President these 18 questions.....which I read over and felt it was marginally worth asking.
The Questions:
1. In an ideal world, would anyone own handguns?
- If you lived in a land where they had a Constitution and it listed rights....ownership isn't the question. You have roughly 3,000 people across the US who die daily via car accidents....should we eliminate ownership of cars?
2. Would your focus be improving the Affordable Care Act or replacing it with single payer?
- The Affordable Care Act is considered a marginal success, and doomed because cost continue to rise. What exactly gives you confidence that single payer will provide you the standard of healthcare you have now, at a lower price rate?
3. Do you think it’s possible for the next president to stop climate change?
- No. In fact, nothing over the past 500 million years has halted or stopped climate change.
4. Do you think Israel meets international standards of human rights?
- Who says that there is some standard existing? Who exactly defined this?
5. Who is your hero, and why?
- Ironman. He put the glove on and remedied this Thanos problem in this last Marvel movie.
6. Would there be American troops in Afghanistan at the end of your first term?
- No. I'd launch missiles down on any target in Afghanistan and avoid placing a single American on the soil. I'd have two-hundred drones circling the Earth, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and have naval ships ready to launch cruise missiles to remedy the problem.
7. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
- Normally 6...sometimes seven. It depends on the cat's schedule and if he awakens me at 4:30 to observe his empty food tray and to do something about it.
8. Do you think illegal immigration is a major problem in the United States?
- If you have a legal means of immigrating into the US....why would you go and illegally enter? We even make all this immigration paperwork in your home country language. Just fill it out, provide an ID and let us evaluate you before you start your journey.
9. Where would you go on your first international trip as president?
- Tonga.
10. Describe the last time you were embarrassed. Why?
- I was embarrassed that a bunch of folks associated with the news media were all upset on election night 2016. They seemed to be behaving like a bunch of 12-year-old brats.
11. Do you think President Trump has committed crimes in office?
- No. But I think the staff under President Obama might have. We need an investigation to settle this issue.
12. Do you support or oppose the death penalty?
- I'd like to make a law that just says you can't kill no one. I'm sure if we just passed one more law, that would fix all this business.
13. Should tech giants like Facebook, Amazon and Google be broken up?
- Yes. And they should all be motivated (forced) to set their headquarters up in Missouri....preferably the Ozarks area.
14. Are you open to expanding the size of the Supreme Court?
- Yes. I'd like to have 435 members, with one judge assigned to each district in the US. You'd be limited to four years of service before being let go.
15. When did your family first arrive in the United States, and how?
- 1639. We sailed in from London....hired up as Tobacco labor, and got settled on our cost two years later....to start our own tobacco farm.
16. What is your comfort food on the campaign trail?
- Catfish, preferably with hush puppies and ice tea.
17. What do you do to relax?
- Watch Seinfeld.
18. Does anyone deserve to have a billion dollars?
- Is there anyone in existence who has a billion dollars in cash? No, they have it invested and working magic with companies to produce some stupid product that people are stupid enough to buy, and continue working to expand that billion. To merely suggest that the billion is 'fluid' is the most stupid question that a NY Times reporter could ask.

If AOC Doesn't Win Next November?
Well, I sat and contemplated that scenario today. There's some good odds that a big-name Democrat or two will run, and knock AOC out of the NY primary system.
What happens then?
I suspect there are three scenarios likely to come up.
1. Run for Chuck Schumer's Senate seat in 2022.
2. Sign up to CNN's expert crew, sit around to analyze things, and run again in 2022 for her seat.
3. Find a foundation, and hang out to 2024....to run as President.

The Africans
News journalists have hunted down some of the African guys who crossed the Texas border into the US, and asked questions. This crowd, unlike the normal Latinos folks....don't answer many questions, and have no interest in being noticed. The fact that they have a fair amount of cash on them....to pay the smugglers, and the Mexicans along the way? This leads me to one curious scenario.
For the past decade in Africa, there's been a serious effort to build drug cartels....so in different parts of Africa, there are drug-lords who run their operations supplying various drugs throughout Africa, and there is a suggestion of the flow going into Europe. My suggestion is that the drug-lords have funneled capital to these young guys, and sent them to establish a cartel front in the United States. Competition for the MS-13 gang and the Mexican cartels? Yes.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it's just odd how they have 'quiet' behavior on how they got to the US, and how they have cash on them.

Eight Observations Over the 2020 Election
We are about six months away from serious campaigning but the Democratic debates start already here in June, so the season is heating up. So ten observations to make:
1. Trump has virtually no competition in the primary, and there's a pretty good chance that he won't make more than twenty public speeches/appearances from January to April. So he's saving around 90-percent of his funding. From July on in 2020, he'll have a massive chest of money sitting there.
2. The effort to use mandated public tax submissions to restrict Trump from entering the state primaries or November election? Unless they make the rule for all state candidates, it won't work and the Supreme Court will settle this in quick fashion.
3. I would presently give Joe Biden and Mayor Pete the primary odds of being the final candidate. Warren, Sanders and Beto are secondary choices. The only VP out there (virtually guaranteed) is Georgia's Stacey Abrams (the loser from the Governor's race).
4. Whether people believe it or not....a major shift will occur in the House, and I'll go and predict that the Republicans have a majority of ten to fifteen seats once the smoke has cleared.
5. Fake news is discussed on a daily basis, and various people will have their Facebook accounts frozen because they passed around fake news.
6. Black males will go nationally at around 30-to-40 percent for Trump. Double of 2016. In some southern states, black females will move up to around 25-percent for Trump. The Latino vote will double in several states.
7. The top five campaign topics will be: the Census, college debt, immigration, the Wall, and anti-Trump talk.
8. A large portion of the public will openly comment that election campaigning is now a full-time situation....365 days a year....year in and year out. Election fatigue will be openly discussed.

Odd Aspect of Iran-Tanker 'Attack' (If It Was)
This US Navy video (you can see it over at YouTube).....shows a non-descrip vessel alongside the tanker. Counting the folks, there's one pilot, and around ten guys on the front half of this plain commercial vessel.
This Iran boat that everyone hypes up on.....is not a military vessel. There's no armament....no 50-cal gun...nothing.
I went down the list of normal Iranian military boats. Nothing on the list really matches up to it. Kinda odd.
Missile launcher type vessel? No. This is a light seagoing boat that might carry 20-to-25 people max. Support role. I don't even think it'd be classed as a deep-sea type boat.
Bunch of civilian guys with some fake agenda to stir up trouble? It just makes me wonder.

Is There Any Difference Between Foreign 'Dirt' and Domestic 'Dirt'?
It's a curious question.
Some American guy comes up to you....saying he's with such-and-such New Orleans foundation and has 'dirt' on some Republican candidate.
Some British pretender-spy comes up to you and says he's got the same basic 'dirt' on some Republican candidate.
Is there any difference here?
No.
Some barber from Reno (an American) and some French journalist from Paris....same 'dirt' aspects....same value? Yes.
'Dirt' is 'dirt'. If you haven't figured that out yet....you might want to open up a beer and think about the implications.

Fake Doctor Stuff
I spent half-an-hour this morning reading over a fairly simple 40-line story written by a journalist who talked to a Yale professor gal....Brandy X. Lee. The professor, an expert Psychiatrist....says that she's putting out a warning that President Trump's mental health (declining minute by minute)....has reached a point where the country is at a point of 'no-return' (destruction of modern civilization is at the brink).
To be honest, I had to read this story four times, and sat for about eight minutes trying to grasp is Ms Lee is actually a intellectual, or just some fake intellectual with a degree of marginal value. I eventually came to the opinion that she's another person with a marginalized education/degree, and she might do well to find a real job.
Course, if she'd suggested that more than one-hundred folks in Washington..to include House members and Senators, along with some journalists....are in deteriorating mental health.....I might go along with that.
Avoiding ethical standards? There's a major standard that got set up in the 1970s for Psychiatrists, who says you can't make a general pronouncement of a person, unless you can meet them face-to-face and have a legit examination. In this case? She basically watched some TV clips and made her fake pronouncement. It'd be the same thing to watch Road Runner or Donald Duck cartoons, and suggest that you've been a mental health case off their cartoons. The sad thing here is that she works for Yale, and it's an example of the poor level of education that presently exists there.
