Just pondering:
1. If you watched any of the Democratic debates....it always seems like they (the candidates) were all running to be the President of Denmark, Sweden, or Scandinavia in general.
2. Moderator-wise for the debates, it would seem like you'd be better off finding three barbers from Tusla, or four junkies from Little Rock....than these journalists selected.
3. As much that was hyped-up about Cuba and Venezuela during the debates.....I suspect that none of these candidates would have much success in Cuba or Venezuela....if running there. In both cases, you'd have to go and promise off toilet-paper as an incentive to vote for the candidate.
4. It's a total mystery on why some people seem so visibly upset about blacks or Latinos being Republicans.
5. With the 2016-version of Trump-derangement-syndrome.....one has to wonder if the 2020-version of Trump-derangement-syndrome is better or worse.
6. If socialism is the answer (as seen in so many of the debate episodes)....what's the question?
7. Bloomberg has said that if you have a weapon in the home....you are more prone to being dead. To be kinda honest, your odds of death....with or without the gun in the home....is 100-percent. It'll come sooner, or later....preferably after the November election.
8. There are forty-plus versions of Joe Biden. Some versions even suggest that he played shortstop for the Pirates in 1966. One version suggested that he golfed with Fidel Castro. And one version has said that he's the guy that invented Ms Pac-Man.
9. That Acosta-guy for CNN....is single-handedly helping Trump win the election.
10. If you use FBI-math, there's approximately 166,000 Russian agents in the US....working to destabilize the November election. Thank God that the FBI is hard at work.....looking for them. We already had 455,000 non-Russians working to destabilize the November election.....we didn't need any extra help.

Farmer Jones, the Coronavirus, and the Logistical 'Path'
In the midst of this Coronavirus....one day, Farmer Jones will have a fan belt break on a particular farm implement that was made in 1972. He figures fine....he'll walk into the farm store in town and buy a new belt.
There, he talks to Randy (the sales dude), and these belts that he'd typically have....have run out. The company which marketed them and shipped them? A Chinese company in Wuhan. Randy says it's been that way since 2004.
You ask....well....what's the delay here? Randy says that a fair number of the Chinese guys at this belt factory are either sick, dead, or have run off because of the disease threat.
You kinda hint to Randy....this ain't going to be something that you can do without.
A day or two passes, and a second item on the farm has broke down. The replacement part? You go to the Illinois 'BIG' Farm web-site, and figure you can order it. They say it's a problem....out of stock, and the replacement items are not being produced in Wuhan as the schedule would work.
A week later, some funny disease starts up with your cattle, and the Vet says you need X....to vaccinate them. He'd like to help you but he only has one bottle of the stuff left, and you need six of them. So you ask....where is this produced, and he says China. Yep, there's a bottleneck now.
So Randy calls up and has said he knows this Peruvian guy who makes generic belts to fit this farm requirement. The problem is....you need to talk to him on the size and shape.
The wife knows this Honduran family at church, and you call them up....asking if 'Juan' (their 12-year-old son can chat for you). They come over, and you call Peru. Juan spends 20 minutes on the phone describing the size and shape of the belt.....with an acceptable price-tag, and the belt will be flown in by Friday. Toward the end of this call....the Peruvian says they do 'other' things. So Juan goes into detail about the second piece of equipment broke, and that guy can build that item as well.
Then Juan mentions the medication issue with the cattle. The Peruvian asks what type, and that his cousin....who happens to be in the drug cartel business....can remedy a reproduction of this vaccine.
As the days pass, Juan and the Peruvian guy forge a new relationship. Juan (12 years old) now starts to conduct daily business out of Peru. $10 per consultation. A year later, Juan is making $10,000 per week....with his Peruvian-connection business.
The drug dealers start to realize that they can reproduce virtually any drug....even cancer drugs, with a little bit of effort, and suddenly the worldwide crisis is over.....compliments of a Peruvian entrepreneur and a 12-year-old kid.
This is how difficult and how simple this whole crisis may go in the end.

If President Hillary Clinton Were in the Middle of This
Some news groups are getting hyped up to find some blame game to dump on Trump for the Coronavirus. I sat and pondered upon this, and then wrote my ten thoughts if President Clinton were standing there instead:
1. President Clinton would appoint 25 medical experts to some task force, to prepare a daily four-hour news media 'talk', with one-third of the presentation talking about dire situations, and the rest trying to reassure everyone that things are fine even if 50 people a day were dying.
2. An enormous amount of useless data would be presented daily....affected rates of gays versus non-gays, affected rates of blacks versus whites, affected rates of rural farmers versus urban folks, and affected rates of lesbians versus gay guys. Even the CNN journalists would say that this is a bit too much.
3. Only twelve US airports would be allowed to handle international flights coming in. A special medical contract would be signed by the government to provide continual shifts of doctors at the airports to survey passengers coming in. Around the second week of this.....someone would observe that the 900 doctors brought in.....are mostly from North Korea, Cuba, Peru, and Angola...speaking almost no English. The contract....given to a mostly unknown American Indian tribe....cannot be explained in public.
4. A fireside chat with President Hillary would occur each week, with her promising to move 'mountains' to save humanity.
5. Two Nobel Peace Prize folks would be desperately trying to find a way to nominate President Clinton for the award.....with just three lines of text on the nomination sheet.
6. At least five medical companies would be attempting some form of 'donation' to the campaign fund of President Clinton.....to get the 2.5-billion dollar vaccine contract.
7. Some major Coronavirus forum will be hustled up by President Clinton, in some Hawaiian resort hotel complex, with 2,000 political and medical figures from across the globe, for a week of talks. As they disperse, it's discovered that 8 carriers of the virus were attending, and at least 300 attendees are now infected.
8. In the midst of a San Francisco mass Coroniavirus episode, a decision is made at the White House to relocate 2,000 homeless people to several other states. A month later, it'll be discovered that the bulk of the 2,000 had the virus, and as they moved to other states.....they contaminated tens of thousands in other locations. No one from White House can remember who gave the order for this though.
9. A debate will start up about the need for a Coronavirus 'Czar' acting out of the White House, but the center of the debate is that it has to be a woman, or a black.
10. About four months into the US 'action'....President Clinton will declare the virus battle 'won', making a whirlwind tour around the US promoting the 'win', then return, and nine days later....have the Coronavirus herself.

Ten Things I Expect Out of This Virus-Chatter
1. All airlines are going to report massive losses for 2020, into the billions, with stock prices prices probably dropping by 30 to 40 percent.
2. Rumors out of China say that 10 to 20 million small-market owners (guys with small production situations, cafes, coffee shops, etc) will be bankrupt by early summer. My guess is that China will 'print' more money and hand out 'gift-amounts'....maybe enough to survive for all of 2020.
3. Wal-Mart will have to stand up by early April and admit that delivery-freighters from China in LA or SF ports.....are limited, and stocks for the warehouses are being reduced. By early May, shelves at Wal-Mart operations will start to be noted as empty. Same story for toy shelves, and some talk will start up by July that Christmas gift expectations are going to be lowered in a drastic way.
4. Wuhan (I think) by early May, will be having an exit-situation going on, with 10,000 locals a week leaving. Local industry won't be able to recover.
5. Places like Haiti, Thailand, and Egypt will be hard hit by the virus, and limited medical capabilities. Doctors will be assaulted and killed over family anger of a relative dead.
6. Cruise-ship operations will go into a nose-dive by early April. At least forty of these ships will be parked around US east coast....waiting for some end to the crisis period.
7. Several movie-production situations will be shut down for four to six months, with some movies planned for spring 2021 release....being pushed back six months.
8. Someone will wake up and announce that in reality.....more people die from alcohol-related disease and incidents.....than from the Coronavirus. It's just that the virus harshly affects the over-65 crowd, with a high-death rate.
9. At least a hundred US prisons will announce by July that they have an infection situation, and are unable to provide adequate security for the inmates.
10. Various judges and political figures around the US....over the age of 65.....will be noted as having 'passed-on' from the virus, and funerals will draw large crowds....where the virus has a chance to spread out among the attendees.

Biden's Lost Memory
From last night's debate.....there is some type of statement by Joe Biden, that since 2007....roughly 150-million Americans were killed by guns.
If true, then the voting polls should be half of what they are today.
Joe being faulty on memory? Yeah, but luckily, we have choices.

Odd Subject Over Wuhan
So you go and look at factual pollution numbers.
On the index, using Atlanta as a comparison....on the PM-10 situation....Atlanta has only a '19' rating (meaning marginal pollution situation).....while Wuhan has a '124' rating, for air pollution (meaning harsh situation in the extremes).
On the pollution index ranking.....whatever Atlanta has.....it's twice that bad for Wuhan.
Protests over this? Both in 2018 and 2019.....various groups in Wuhan tried to make a protest movement about the local situation.
My humble belief? Maybe it's not discussed much by news journalists, but in terms of lung damage (if you've lived in Wuhan for the past twenty years).....you've probably accumulated a fair amount of dust and soot into your system, and it's affecting your lung capacity. So a fairly decent flu starts up, and your immune system isn't four-star to start with, and your odds of dying rapidly go up if you smoke, or have a secondary condition existing already.

Ten Observations Over 2016's Path to 2020's Election
1. Let's be honest, about forty-percent of the Democratic voting crowd, have never recovered from 2016, and their whole focus is to knock Trump out before November's election.
2. Lets also be honest, Bernie Sanders would have won the 2016 primary, if he'd had a level playing field, and a neutral news media.
3. Lets be also honest, and admit that the strategists knew that Mike Bloomberg had several 'flaws', and could not be put in front of the public back in the summer of 2019. As things go now, Bloomberg has hit the point where he could spend $50-million a week, and only gain 10,000 voters per week.
4. Honestly, that impeachment idea didn't really bring in the support that was anticipated, and the news media expended a couple of silver bullets, so there's not much left to fire with....at this point.
5. Did all that impeachment chatter really give Trump around a hundred campaign videos? Yeah, compliments of Shifty and the team.
6. Some of us will miss AOC, if she is beaten in her district in November. She was pure entertainment to watch.
7. Blacks finally asking stupid questions of the Democratic Party? If Trump takes 40-percent of the black vote....then the whole agenda plan for the past thirty years for the Democratic Party....can be thrown out.
8. Can a small-town gay mayor run an effective campaign for the Presidency? Simple answer.....no.
9. The Russians must have at least 300,000 people working day and night....to corrupt up the American voting system. Or.....they have no one assigned to the job, and it's just all stupid luck.
10. All of the people who threatened to leave America if Trump won in 2016.....are still oddly here, registered to vote, and say meekly that they will vote for Bernie.
