Without the McMuffin 'Effect'

In 2016, we had Evan McMullin to contend with in the election.  So where did he really matter?

In Utah, he took around 244k votes (roughly 23-percent of the vote).  Trump still won.

In Minnesota, he took 53k votes....helping Hillary edge out Trump.

In Colorado, he took around 1-percent of the votes, but it wasn't a big deal....Hillary had more than enough to win.

So in this 2020 election, the only state where things are probably changed?  Minnesota.  Without him in the middle of this....it's high odds that Trump will take Minnesota. 

Name Games

I noticed yesterday that pressure was being applied to the Texas Ranger baseball team....to rename the team.  Reason?  Actual Texas Rangers are considered racist, if you go by the long, long history, going back to the 1800s.

I sat and pondered over this, and decided....the only thing to do here....rename the team.

My suggestion....Texas Power Rangers.  Yes, rename them after the kid's show series of the mid-1990s. 

I admit....it was a one-star show, but it was never racist, and that's all that matters. Although we should not bring up the 'yellow' Power Ranger....he was a total loser.

'Timmy and Wandas' Big Adventure to Tulsa

After all this Trump announcement was done and I started to look at the map....things kinda clicked.

Tulsa, for those who've never been to it....is a unique place.  I-44 leads west and east, with around six lesser US roads bringing in traffic from Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. 

Tulsa also is a place where you can go and look for Antifa folks, and I doubt if you can find more than eight in the entire state. 

So as the Trump campaign rally opens up....I suspect on the roads leading into Tulsa the previous 24 hours....at least 3,000 Antifa guys and gals will be in cars, vans, and buses.....attempting reach the site.

Advance teams of FBI and US marshals?  There's probably 3,000 being brought into various towns around Tulsa. 

So as the peace-mob starts their gimmick and the riot-mob start their gimmick....tens of thousands of cameras will catch the action.  Tusla police, along with state police will go after the riot crew.  As the riot crew leaves town and thinks they are safe....the US marshals will descend upon them on the state roads, the US roads, and the interstate. 

As the arrested folks get dragged into a Tulsa courtroom....two or three charges will be read out, and then bail set, with a local crew handling bail bonds.  As the kid emerges and thinks that things are over?  Well...the fed guys will be there, arrest them on fed warrants, and drag them to the fed courtroom.  You see....crossing statelines to riot....is a fed charge. 

Two separate proceedings.

Timmy and Wanda's parents call for private lawyers, and they start laying out the problems.  You go into the Oklahoma court, and admit guilt....do six months in prison and six years of probation....they can swing this deal easily.  Timmy and Wanda freak out....six months in prison?  Then the lawyers lay out the problem for the fed charge.  The feds will demand a full year of prison time, with probably 3 years of probation....for a 'deal'.  The 'deal' will involve rating out on your associates and the Antifa crew. 

Then the lawyer spells out the real problem.  Even if you accept this deal....this prison times leads to probation.  If you screw up....DUI, assaulting someone at another Antifa team meeting, etc....there's barely a 30-minute session in court, and you go back to prison for the remainder of your time....no excuses.  You have to permanently clean up your life and live cleanly.  Then he mentions the occasional drug test....that you have to pass this each and every time, or you go back to prison.  Even failing on the weed test....gets you back into prison.

So as Timmy and Wanda go for the deal....the next problem pops up.  Both were teachers, and this state/fed conviction now gets brought up by the teacher's union.  They can't be teachers in most states now.  The parents are asking questions and wondering what value their degrees now hold?

Timmy's parents spent $130k for his four years....to include the car, the tuition, the beer money, the $8k legal costs to get him off sexual assault charges, and the room/board money.  All flushed down the toilet.

Wanda's parents paid $30k of their savings for her college, and she borrowed $50k to wrap up the degree.  She'll never make enough money to cover the loan there.

Two losers.....doing prison time.  In a decade, both will look back and wonder about that 2020 adventure and where they screwed up.

Boogaloo?

Back along the end of 1983....some folks come up with a marginal script, and some cash....to make this movie, which comes out in early 1984.  The name of the movie?  Breakin'. 

I know....no one much remembers the movie.  The basic idea?  Blacks, break-dancing, urbanized background, music, and a dance competition.  Oddly, it ends up making 38-million and returns a fair amount of profit off a small amount of investment money.

Folks get excited, over the profits.  So they decide to make Breakin' #2, which is also called Electric Boogalo.  It basically has no real script, and doesn't connect to the original movie.  It's pumped out seven months after the original.....in hopes of repeating the 38-million return.  It makes barely 15-million and is mostly deemed a marginal success.

However, because there is a us-versus-them story....Boogaloo becomes a term used people who they are talking about creating a 'war' against the government (yes, basic revolution is Boogaloo). 

For some odd reason, since 1984, the cult people have hung onto Breakin' #2 and this whole marginal script, and the idea of Boogaloo.

So with the internet around, Boogaloo grew over the past two decades.  People are attracted to the idea of a revolutionary war coming to America.

There are probably forty different groups which have curiosity over this (pro-gun, pro-revolution, pro-far-right, etc).

What this revolves around?  You need some event to occur, and suddenly civil war would occur, and all your problems would be cured in a matter of months.  Total collapse of the US government and civilization. 

To be honest, even some far-left groups are interested in the idea, and they might even go to the extent of creating fake-right-wing groups....to help facilitate the coming 'war'.

The problem here...back in mid-March of this year....police went to a no-knock situation in Maryland....to arrest a group leader of a Boogaloo group, and the raid ended up with the dude dead.  The guy has become a symbol for the group, and probably 'woke' up thousands to centralize their theme.  Without the internet, the group would collapse. That kinda gives you an idea of where this problem is going.

So a cop in Oakland was shot in the two weeks....in the chaos of Antifa, and the police now have arrested an Air Force SSgt....who was a participant of Boogaloo.  Yes, they even exist in the military.  The charges?  Murder. 

I sat and pondered over this.  In 1969, Charlie Manson had this basic idea in his head of a massive chaos to come....civil war with the blacks involved....and revolution would reset all values in America.  It's the same basic idea that Charlie had.

It's a nutty thing....to come down from a 1-star movie, and a bunch of folks hyped up to feel revolution will resolve all their problems.  You'd almost think they were on drugs or something.   

One Troubling Thing About This Atlanta Shooting

Most people haven't grasped this.....but the guy shot....Rayshard Brooks....was actually walking the streets while on probation.

The deal?  It appears that back in 2014....he done some crime and the court came to a decision...if he'd admit guilt.  Spend one year in prison, and get six years of probation.  The start to the deal?  Going back to 2016.  The prison in prison occurred and all he had to do....stay clean for six years.  Fail at any point over six years....go to prison.

So when this DUI unfolded....reality set in as the .108 came up on the breath test.  Once arrested and the court episode unfolded....he was going to do a minimum of three years in state prison.

Resistance?  Go and think in his shoes.  A stupid day out....drinking heavily, and one screw-up like this.....getting three lousy years in prison.

This is the problem with probation.  To get the 4-star deals, you have to admit guilt, and then live this amazingly clean lifestyle upon your one year of jail/prison.  The DA and judge gets this 15-minute session and rubberstamp your case....guilt and just doing a marginal amount of time.  Then when you repeat your screw-ups....another 15-minute session stamping the end of your probation. 

This guy was in the Wendys parking lot and looking at a terrible mess, and no real hope.  So escaping from the cops made perfect sense.  The cops?  They probably deal with one guy like this every single week. 

If It Were a Plan?

Someone came up yesterday and laid out this observation.....that the basic Democrat victory plan is for an overwhelming chaos to occur around President Trump and the American people....leading to week after week of fresh new crisis situations (new angles), and the public eventually reaches a point in November where they vote Trump out.....get a return to 'peace' (whatever you might call it). 

I sat and pondered over this strategy for the past day.  It kinda bothers me.

First, you would admit that mob violence and the voice of 12-year-old kids in adult clothing matters.  It's an amusing strategy because three-quarters of the public won't agree to that type of childish behavior.

Brats usually get spanked, or sent to their room for hours of a time-out. 

Second, if you are burning down metropolitan sections of America....do the people living outside of this sphere really care?  Most of us would tell you that we don't really have much focus or care about inner-city Chicago, Minneapolis, LA, or Atlanta. 

Third, statue-topplers?  Really?  This would get us all hyped up and determined to somehow blame Trump and elect the peace-maker Biden/replacement dude?  What kind of idiots do you think we are?

Fourth, screwing up the NFL or NBA enough for us to care?  No.  I would suggest that probably one-third of the fans around the Giants or the Bears....have already lost their interest in the sport, and moved on.  The NFL probably has lost enough permanent fans and interest....to lessen the salary structure, and create massive internal turmoil. 

Go walk into a sports bar on Monday nights in October.  The bar owners will tell you that they've lost a minimum of one-quarter of their customer base, and it's hurting their business model.

Fifth, the problem of portraying Warren or whoever the replacement is to Joe Biden....as the 'Jesus' person to bring peace to America?

Are you saying that any of the next fifty-odd people following Joe Biden or the Democratic Party....are carrying some 'peace' message?  Then you want us to believe that for the next one-hundred years....as long as you vote Democrat.....you get peace?  Isn't that foolish chatter....like you'd hear some kid in the 5th-grade utter?

Sixth and final....after all the damage done....who exactly is going pay for everything?  Isn't that part of this strategy....massive taxes coming....to pay for the chaos and damage? 

I'm sorry, but this strategy is something that ought to be stored with the Russian-collusion business....as fake and bogus as one can imagine. 

Observations Over 'Basement Chat'

About two or three times a week, Joe Biden comes into contact with the general public....via his basement production system.

Through an interview, Joe hands out what I would call 'basement wisdom'.  One would define this as material that you'd clearly say comes from your WW II vet 'uncle' who grew up in such-and-such era.....clearly remembers 300-percent of the past (some events are clear, but fictional in nature)...and wants to promise you something that he probably can't deliver.

The more you hear of basement chatter...the less you really feel enthusiasm for it or the politics promised.

I would suggest that the best thing at this point....get Joe to appoint the VP candidate....get the fake heart attack out of the way, and leave the door then open to the VP moving up, and getting out of basement chatter.  Joe is not mending fences or resolving the chaos.
