The Unifier Story

 This past week, I sat and watched a podcast where the moderator brought this talkative 'expert' on, who got all into the problem of division in America.  He (the guest' actually did a great job for about three minutes.  Then he wanted to lecture you that the only time in the past couple of decades that you got some 'measurement' of unifying....was under the Obama era.

I sat and kinda laughed.

During the build-up of the 2008 campaign....into the primary period....some guy came on CNN and hyped up the unifying experience/background of candidate Obama....saying that the Illinois era was a great example of how Obama worked across party lines.

So about three months into the President Obama era....you just came to realize on unifying skills....he was missing the talents, the smarts, and the savvy to unify people.  It wasn't just him....even the people around him in the White House....were lacking the same talent-set.

By the end of the 4th year.....you could asses the unifying 'hype' as mostly all bogus.  

So, back to Bush II, Clinton, Bush I.....were they all missing unifying skills?  For the most part.

Reagan?  He won the 1976 election mostly because Carter got caught up in the Iran mess, and Carter's debates were good but not enough to bring down Reagan.  Reagan as a unifier?  No....but the news media wasn't corrupted enough to make it a big deal. 

Carter as a unifier?  No....Carter was brought in to clean up the perception of Watergate.  

Nixon and Ford as unifiers?  Not really.

Kennedy or Johnson as unifiers?  Kennedy marginally filled that 'square', and Johnson was simply the guy filling Kennedy's empty shadow.

So I'd suggest that it's been a mighty long time since Eisenhower was around and decent unifier.  

The job of social/news media to present a fake unifier today?  Well....that's what you are left with.  There's probably sixty different national characters walking around today....as hoax-unifiers.  Some Republican....some Democrat...some journalists...some clowns-pretending-to-be-leaders.  It's bad enough that you can't even recognize a real unifier from a fake unifier.  

Your Gender is Based Mostly on Someone's Imagination?

 If you had made this statement twenty years ago....99-percent of people would have laughed.  Today?  The statement is mostly leaning toward what I'd call a hoax-fact....meaning people accept it and don't question it, but if you tried to make it a logical statement in a discussion....you MISERABLY fail.

As each year passes now....active imagination adds another couple of genders (with pronouns).  Without the active imagination....this trend goes nowhere.

Right now, sitting in some basement in Milwaukee, is some guy who is dwelling on a brand new gender which he will introduce via his social media situation, and sell to 10,000 followers over the next month, and by January....have convinced around 20-million Americans of the new gender.  The fact that this may only involve 300 people around the US?  It's best not to bring up this fact.

The possibility that some alien (UFO-type) gender will be invented out of thin air over the next year?  I'd say it's better than a 50-percent chance. 

So this whole thing....the chatter....the arguments....the 'got-you' talk....the furious nature of society forever on a binge frustration...all based on imagination?  Yeah, and the best part, because the way that imagination works....there's no limit.

You might as well open up that fine whiskey you've been saving, and sit over on the porch tonight....thinking over this implication, and how the future now proceeds.  

The 1 August Arrival: The Evictions Start

 This Covid-protection law protection....to keep house/apartment renters from being kicked out for failure to pay rent....ended this morning.  

If you go by the figures....it's estimated that around 15-million Americans are in this 'boat'.  Landlords, I will predict...probably already have the legal documents drawn up, stamped, and will probably hand them to the local sheriff or police to enforce (I would suggest tomorrow morning...Monday).

A few states...like California for example, have some rules in place where this might be drawn out and hindered for a while, but the bulk of states have no delay rules.

So the question, if you think about, where you find 15-million Americans in sixty to ninety days?  

My general prediction here goes three ways:

1.  I think one out of ten will have some cash flow or third-party 'loan' where they buy a RV or trailer, and just go living off some public street, or city park.

2.  About forty-percent of these people will approach friends or relatives....getting an invite for a period of time to live in their house/garage/basement. 

3.  The remainder will end up at some local church or charity operations....with a new enthusiastic view for home dwellings (temp fix).

The Biden crew in a mess?  This whole Covid handling mess by Congress....handing out this no-eviction notice created a magnificent mess which has no reliable or simple answer.  

As for the news media?  I expect in two to four weeks....almost every evening will feature some story over the pitiful folks kicked out and camping out on the streets.  Most of us will mute the story, and just avoid water-cooler discussions over the mess.

Truth Commission Not That Popular

 The NY Post did a piece and noted that the public support for the 6th of January 'truth-commission'....fell from a high point of 66 percent in favor of such a group back in June....to 53 percent in the past couple of days.

Unless they find some mass conspiracy....I would go and suggest that the decline will continue over the next ten months....probably to around 35 percent.  

Right now, I suspect if you walked around chatting with a hundred regular working-class people....more than forty will sum up the event in twenty words and just call it a 'mass demonstration....like those Antifa guys did'.  If you project out to December...it'll be remembered less and less.

The value in the end (probably in August of 2022 to be released)?  That's really the whole question-mark.

Might the summary pages (six of them I would assume) be already written and mention Trump at least sixty times?  Yeah....that might be something to ponder upon.  

How the Haiti Assassination Business Played Out

 It's been around three weeks since the assassination of President of Haiti 'played' out.

Basic structure of this whole event?

You had some individuals who wanted an agreeable individual to dictate some terms to....so it would appear that some crew was hired and supposed to threaten or rough-up the guy.  Someone in the middle of this episode....ended up killing the President.

This leading back to Florida?  Well....yeah, that's the funny part of this story.

The fact that none of the bodyguards to the dead President were roughed-up or killed?  Well....that's also a curious part of the story.

The fact that the President's term of office was supposed to end in February of this year, and he said he had a 'mandate' to stick around (on his own) until February of 2022?  Well, that's also a curious part of the story.

The fact that four companies (body-guard-type companies) were in the mix of hiring the 'thugs'?  Well....that's also a funny part of the story.  Usually, dictators get killed by their own countrymen....not hired thugs.

A truth commission coming out of this?  Probably.  But the question will arise....were there Americans (sitting in Florida) connected to this, and only a Biden-appointed or Pelosi-appointed truth commission could conclude that.....which I doubt you will see that occur.  

I suspect if you went and asked a hundred Haitians if their lives improved or got worse after the assassination....99 would probably answer that things are about the same. 

What VP Harris Said About Fixing the Border Crisis?

 Five part plan announced by VP Harris yesterday:

1.  “Addressing economic insecurity and inequality” through the central region.

2.  “Combating corruption, strengthening democratic governance, and advancing the rule of law.” 

3.  “Promoting respect for human rights, labor rights, and free press.” 

4.  "Countering and preventing violence, extortion, and other crimes perpetrated by criminal gangs, trafficking networks, and other organized criminal organizations.” 

5.  "Combating sexual, gender-based, and domestic violence.”

I looked over the list, and mostly just laughed.  It's a thesis-like paper, probably copied from some PhD candidate from the past five years who is a insider to the Biden team.

Any of these achievable?  No.  If you went into Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador or Mexico.....some might agree that if human rights were respected, that free and open commerce were allowed, and drug cartels diminished, things would improve.  But if you asked the same group how this could be handled or accomplished,  they would just grin.

Here's the sad thing....from this list of five, if you approached the fifty US states and said the same thing as a remedy for their chaos, negativity, and wokeism....they'd agree all five fit great into resolving their woes as well.  Would VP Harris push that agenda across America?  No.

VP Harris is now done with the border mess that President Biden gave her.  She visited....wrote the fix solution, and smiled for the cameras.   Now it's onto the next crisis that Biden can hand her.  

The Backside of the Story over Simone Biles

 Basically, for years and years, she had ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder).  She resolved this order by a medication situation.  The type of drugs doesn't matter.

So she gets invited to the Olympics.  However, Japan has this law in place....the drugs for ADD aren't legal.  You enter with them....you get police attention.

She gets into the middle of her Olympics routine, and can't concentrate....the drug effect is not there.  She leaves the stage.  End of the story.

There is nothing more to this drama.  I know....there's dozens of journalists who've tried to hype this over to this or that way, but it's basically a person who relied upon drugs and then had to 'dry-out'.  

Should Biles have grasped this a year ago, with the Japanese law, and just said she wouldn't compete?  Probably.  Maybe she thought that she'd arrive and use the last pill on the plane....hoping that things would work out.  

My guess is that this will linger around for two or three months.  Biles will be completely negative about the mention of the story, and refusing interviews eventually.  

Maybe the only question remaining.....up until 2021 in the Olympics....is this the first case where someone was using ADD drugs for their concentration?  No....if you really dug into this.....probably 5-percent of participants over the past twenty years have used it to some degree.
