The 10,000 Ton Boat Anchor on Biden

 Basically, the clock is ticking and there are 1,365 days until the next election.

If Biden goofs up on the economy, triggers the loss of 2-million-plus jobs, has unemployment up around 6.5-percent, and has settled massive taxation upon the public.....then Trump runs and wins.   

The blame for the downward spiral of the economy?  It goes entirely to Biden.

So every single day that some brilliant idea comes up to push taxes up....shut down various industries, or cause economic issues to boil....some guy or gal on the team will bring up the ticking clock and if Biden really wants to go and f**k with the economy. 

Biden will shake with rage, but he's basically in a race to do almost nothing to the economy or face helping Trump to make a comeback.

Bernie Sanders and Senator Warren will be furious, but this weight upon Biden is tremendous.  

I do agree....they will all chat a lot, but in terms of getting a consensus going and willing nature to get something done?  They have to be constantly worried.  

Ten Things I've Come to Notice or Anticipate

 1.  The chief problem with wokeism....you will eventually run out of clowns who have some perceived feeling over racial justice or social issues.  

2.  If you developed a checklist for non-essential values....you'd be shocked to find out that politicians aren't that essential, while topless dancers seem to actually have value (at least in getting you to buy more drinks or spending on lap dances).

3. People now watch televised political chatter....like they watch professional wrestling.  There's good guys, bad guys, and fake referee action always taking place.  Some guys get run out of town, and then some guys get 'revamped' then return to town.

4.  There's probably some Biden-team organized up now....to find some trick job-training gimmick (instead of coding), when two or three million jobs are lost by the summer of 2022.  Their chief problem....they've never been around working-class people, so they aren't that sure about who they are trying to help.

5. In some darken corner of the White House....President Biden probably has a Alexia set up and connected into the wall, and about every three hours....he's asking it to resolve such-and-such problem.  Then some funny voice comes over it....kinda like Trump's voice....giving Biden some bone-headed answer.

6.  I expect by the end of 2021....some folks will be demanding that the Beatles 'White Album' be renamed because it suggests supremacy.  The same folks however, can't name a single song from the album.

7.  I expect some PhD study to be done on kids in the Chicago region this spring, and results to come as schools let out.  The results?  Most 5th-grade kids are at the 3rd-grade level with all the days out because of Covid-19.  Oddly enough, they also will point out from the 5th-graders that went to the 6th-grade, four percent were more than capable of handling the 6th-grade already and probably ought to skip onto the 7th-grade.  

8.  At some point this year, 62-percent of academics will admit they really don't know what socialism is, but if it pays more than capitalism...they are all for it.

9.  I expect some kid in California this year to demand his right to be a Klingon warrior, and be recognized with the right in school to carry around a Klingon sword.  

10.  After all the Biden EO's fall into place, the immigration folks will be faced with this one single guy who claims to be Honduran but doesn't speak any Spanish.  Badar Sanchez will be given a 100-question test on Honduras and know less than three facts about the country.  Eventually, he'll be sent to some US government project to teach him Spanish and the history of Honduras.....so that they can eventually work with him and get placed properly in the US.  A year into this, Badar admits he was originally from Afghanistan, and he's fairly messed up now....knowing more about Honduras than the US.  

Observations

 1.  Since day one of the National Guard deployment into the 'Green Zone' of Washington DC....the cost factor is presently at $483-million (figure the hotel situation, meals, per diem paid to the Guardsmen, and getting from 'home' to the 'Green Zone').  Reported here.

Odds of this continuing past 1-billion?  I would actually and suggest it being near $2 billion before the entire episode is ended.

2.  I noticed that the CBO folks, who analyze projects for Congress....came to study the $15-an-hour wage deal.  In their judgement, approximately 1.4-million jobs would be cancelled out (gone).

If you figure the timing of this....if this were pushed toward the end of 2021....the 1.4-million folks would be ripe for discontent just as the mid-terms come around.  So I'd just go and suggest this wage deal is number one on Biden's 'to-do' list which will be halted or cancelled.

3.  The George Floyd murder trial will start in roughly a month.  It came up yesterday that the governor of Minnesota has ordered activation of the National Guard for this period of time (figure a minimum of two months).  

How many?  Unknown....the governor has been tight-lipped over how many are going to be 'deployed'. The police admit that they are somewhere between 10 and 20 percent undermanned presently for Minneapolis.  

Fear of riots?  There's a certain fear that all four policemen will be acquitted or it'll be a hung-jury.

Chatting Over the Constitution

 For roughly fifty years, my home-state of Alabama has often talked about the idea of writing a new state constitution.  This occurs almost yearly now and it generally goes nowhere.  

The present Constitution?  It's been around since 1901.  To be honest, it's got various problems in it....if you go and actually read it.

So this week, I'm starting a reading and commentary over the state Constitution.

Section 86: It has to deal with stopping or suppressing dueling, which had already become a problem as they wrote the original Constitution in 1819.

The basic words?

"The legislature shall pass such penal laws as it may deem expedient to suppress the evil practice of dueling."

It wasn't really a freedom....it was like a stringent weight put upon the legislature....to make any type of law which would prevent 'evil' dueling (rather than 'decent' dueling).

The odds that alcohol helped to fuel the act in the late 1700s to the 1819 period?  Well....we do have certain issues in our consumption of booze in Alabama.

Do we really need secretion 86?  No....this is one of those things that probably ought to be removed.  

I'll be doing at least one of these per day, for the next ten days.  If you wanted to read it yourself?  Go over to this site.

The Trouble with Bibble-Babble

 President Biden spoke this week and said this:

"We expect these additional 200 million doses to be delivered this summer ... by the midsummer that this vaccine will be there. That increases the total vaccine order in the United States by 50% from 400 million ordered to 600 million. This enough vaccine to fully vaccinate 300 Americans by end of the summer, the beginning of the fall. I want to repeat, it will be enough to fully vaccinate 300 Americans."


There's a piece entitled "Joe Biden's Bibble-Babble", written by R. Emmett Tyrrell, and is worth a read.  

I underlined four pieces out of the quote....which really don't make sense, and Tyrrell talks about this....as 'Bibble-Babble'.  

The problem here....as you sit and try to view a speech or commentary by the President....you have to sit and interpret what he said....what he meant, and then wonder if he is disconnected or it's just an age-problem.

When he reads off the monitor?  No issue.  It's when he's unfocused and starts to gaze away....then screw up on a word here and there.

The real problem here?  Folks sit there in France, Russia, and Germany.....looking at the verbiage used, and do the translations.....then ask the translator....did you screw up again?  So they start to realize....week after week....that Bibble-Babble is normal.  

The best advice I can offer?  Try not to pay attention to what he says....just let the CNN guy tell you the final word, and he's got the real notes from the White House staff to correct issues.  If you don't like that?  Well....you need to think about these things ahead of time and vote in a different manner. 

The fact that you are going to get 400 of these speeches each year?  It should be entertaining, to say the least.   

"Virtually Touring?"

 I sat and watched the White Press Conference from yesterday (Friday).  

So on Monday, President Biden will apparently 'tour' a vaccination production facility....by virtually being there.  

What that means?  Some volunteer from the White House (maybe a whole team) will be sent to the location....given some geeky equipment, and do the walk with the camera giving Biden reference points and talking points by the director of the place.  

Odds of comments by production workers?  Probably, with Biden commenting back to them...'keep it Pony-Soldier' or 'Americas counting on you'.  There's probably a cheat sheet with 300 Biden-isms already typed up and ready for the 'big-guy' to comment upon.

Why not actually go there?  That wasn't made clear by Psaka.

If you asked me....there's a tight control on sleeping hours and performances required for President Biden.  If you woke the guy up at 4 AM, and got him on a plane by 7 AM....his peak is probably from 8 to 12.  From that point on, it's anyone's guess how things go.

This being the norm for 2021?  It wouldn't shock me if he has fewer than 30 actual appearances in the year, and most around Washington DC itself.  

One other side of this....if you had personal appearances where the crowds might be anti-Biden, it'd really start to suggest that the nation isn't behind him, and there is a serious public issue with him.  By going virtual....you avoid that situation.

Ten Things That Surprise Me By Not Happening Yet

 This is a list of ten things (randomly done) which probably should occur, but haven't done so yet.

1.  A TV show on Fox based entirely on fake news.  

2.  A complete SEC investigation of all 535 Senators and House members, their spouses, and particular investment deals that got them rich.

3.  College basketball involving actual contracts to play for college teams.  

4.  A cable channel with only 1940s movies, and a second channel for only 1930s movies.

5.  A reality show based on some unknown guy running against a fake Republican insider.

6.  Outlawing all TV westerns (going back to the 1950s) which had some bad guy shot/killed in the show.

7.  This mental eval chatter for gun control....would have to go to the full complete step....having US Army/Marines mental eval'ed to handle a weapon, and to have all law enforcement (local, state and federal) also on the eval group.  

8.  Having one Senator as a absolute Marxist-Leninist.

9.  A test to confirm that most all kids (since spring of 2020) have around 35-percent of the knowledge level from school that they should have. 

10.  At some point, Russian journalists will be handed 300 hours of taped conversations between Hunter Biden and some Chinese folks.....with details how x-amount of their money (going into the tens of millions) was paying the 'big guy'.  The House and Senate will then dig into a messy episode where Joe won't resign.
