French Talk with Kerry

 This is the video of French journalists talking to John Kerry over the Aussie sub deal.

19 minute interview.  At some point, they want Kerry to explain how he met with President Biden.  So Kerry says that Biden couldn't understand the whole issue.  

Then Kerry says.....Biden didn't know anything about the deal.  For about 30 seconds, Kerry is basically saying that Biden was totally in the dark, and never told anything until the deal was 'done'.  

At that point, Kerry realizes he has said something that will shake the French, and the rest of Europe....Biden sold nuke subs but knew nothing about what was going on.

After this?  It's kinda funny....the French leadership will stand and talk about the interview this weekend.  Future discussions?  Why talk to Biden?  He's obviously not in charge.  

The remaining 3 years with Biden?  He's just a 'living statue'.....not a actual figure. You don't need to drag the guy into problems....he can't do much for resolutions.  

If you were looking for a reason to downsize the importance of NATO....this is probably a good starting point.  

Ten Things Biden Could Do To Improve His Popularity

 1.  Announce he's doing the Caitlyn Jenner-Trans-Operation.  

2  Announce that for the past four years, he's been under the influence of hallucinatory drugs prescribed by a fake doctor in Delaware, and he's fairly shocked to learn he's President of the United States.    

3.  Announce that he's also discovered he has artistic talents like Hunter, painting a good bit, and ready to sell each of his one-hundred paintings.

4.  Announce that he's going to fire Doctor Fauci.....next year.  

5.  Announce he's going to bring Donald Trump onto the White House team to be a personal adviser to Biden himself.

6.  Announce he's bringing in an elephant as his 'new' pet for the White House.

7.  Announce that he's bringing in a Haitian Lwa (Haitian witch doctor female) to cast away evil spirits left in the White House by demon Trump.  She will be permanently staying in the residence because of the heavy demon spell left on the facility.

8.  Announce that he's been having a secret affair for 30 years with some 1980s TV show gal, although admitting that all they do is sip coffee and sniff each others hair.

9.  Announce that he's not woke enough.  So he's bringing in a team of woke enthusiasts to the White House, to make himself super-woke.

10.  Announce that he's too super-woke, and looking for a safe space....yet continue to serve as President.  

Temperature Story

 There was a science study done by some PhD guys (I'd recommend a read)....which has to do with guys who like chilly temperatures, and women who prefer tropical temperatures. 

After a fair amount of survey, the PhD folks agreed....guys (even males in the animal world) prefer more chilly temperatures.  Something in our genetics?  Well...they didn't go that far.

I'm a 'October-guy'....meaning I prefer the normal 45-to-55 degree temperatures.  Anything over 85 degrees?  It's a problem.

But after reading the piece....I'm asking....now what?  Knowing this science stuff and facts....it doesn't really change much of anything. 

Observations: 7 Oct 2021

 1.  On the far west side of Atlanta is the town of Douglasville.  In the past year (starting in March) or so....letters began to be received by seven families....all with threatening comments.  All were blacks.....the letters confessed to be a local KKK-member.  

This went on for a while, then stopped (for six months).  Cops did a lot of investigation but got nowhere.  So in early September.....letters start back up.  This time....the person screwed up and police came to arrest the gal involved.....she was black, and obviously not a KKK-member.

Charges?  Pretty serious. Eight counts of making a terror threat.  Unless she finds some gifted prosecutor to help bail her out, I'd be guessing at least a year or two in prison.  

What'd she get out of the mess?  Hard to say.  

2.  Present approval rate of Joe Biden?  38-percent. 

Looking forward to January (1-year point), and probably at least two more screw-ups in that time-period....you just have to feel sorry for the guy.  For 2021 so far, there just isn't any great slam-dunk to which you can talk about.  

3.  Remember those California students who had gone to Afghanistan for a school-trip?  Well....they are still there...stuck...in Afghanistan.  Nothing much mentioned by the White House.  You'd think it'd be a great opportunity to get Delta Force or the Seals involved, and yank those kids back to California.

4.  Finally, some story has come out suggesting a fake studio setting for President Biden has been built.  It's made to look like his office but is just a studio on the WH grounds, with big-screen TVs for script-reading.  Don't know what they spent to build this....using DC rates....has to be over $200k for 'set-design'. 

Observations: 6 Oct 2021

 1.  So there's some gang members in Chicago, who were identified in various shootings.  Court action started up, but then....the prosecutor dropped the charges.  Reason?  She says there was 'mutual combat' going on....meaning members of group A fighting members of group B.

So if you were Farmer A, and had a feud building up with Farmer B, and just shot the guy in the leg twice one afternoon.....if this was mutual feuding, then your county prosecutor wouldn't file any charges?  Well....this apparently only works in Chicago.  

Based on chatter going on.....nobody really believes much of this story.  

2.  Did John Kerry explain the whole French sub-Australia-France-Biden episode?  Well....it goes this way.  Kerry had to meet with President Biden after this sub contract business came out in the open.  Biden says to Kerry.....he didn't know anything about the contract on the subs.  Yep....no one in the Pentagon or State Department ever briefed him....on what was one of the biggest defense contracts in the past ten years.  

So this week when Secretary of State Blinken visits President Macron of France....he's basically going to tell Macron this story that Biden didn't know nothing.

Macron reacting?  He's going ask.....so you guys in the State Department never briefed him until the deal was done?  Yep will be the response.  Macron will then ask....what else have you not briefed him on?  

At that point, Macron will regard Biden as simply a 'talking-dog' and there's no one really in charge of the US government.  The free world?  It's really dependent upon Macron at this point.

3.  The Taliban came up two days ago and announced that they had raided and killed off an entire 'secret' cell of ISIS folks in Kabul.  True or fake?

Well...there were eight folks killed in this raid.  Whether they were ISIS-K members or not....is not really clear.  

Taliban hating ISIS-K folks?  I would compare this to a situation where you Hitler-version 1 who has a problem with Hitler version 2.  I doubt if the raid matters that much....there's still ISIS-K folks around and recruiting.  Who is supporting ISIS-K financially?  That would be an interesting question to ask.  

4.  If the primary period in 2023 opens up and Trump announces he's in the running....will this trigger Joe Biden to run a second time?  Well....there's this scenario out there and you have to wonder how many people who voted for Biden in 2020....would repeat.  

Observations

 1. What happens after Nancy Pelosi leaves the House Speaker job?  

I'm one of those people who believe that Pelosi will not run in the mid-term of 2022, and probably will leave the House Speaker job in the spring of 2022 (at a time of her choosing).  I also think a far left radical group of people will apply for the House Speaker job, and at least thirty of the Democrats in the House will agree on the replacement submitted by the Party itself.  

I suspect at least three factional groups will try to forward their 'person', and whoever replaces Pelosi....is only going to hold the job until January 2023.

2.  This attempt to get the Justice Department to send the FBI after parents hassling school boards?

This can only end with one remarkable 'change'.....that more kids are removed from public schools and private schools/home-schooling jumps by more than 100k kids in a very short period of time (probably sixty days).

The real loser?  In some districts, I might go and suggest enough kids are removed from the schools.....to trim back hired teachers.  The situation will flip-out a number of teachers (going out) because they owe $80k in student debt.  Getting hired for the private school system?  Some might retain a job.

Forcing the end of school boards?  I would suggest that board members will be identified as 'problems' and a fair number will see themselves voted out in the next election.  But this will inflame the whole mess, and some states will discuss the idea of terminating boards entirely....making a committee from the state level responsible, and providing them round-the-clock security.

Just Observations

 1.  House member Jayapal basically the failure of President Biden's 3-trillion....lays a path for the new idea idea of a $1.5-trillion package, but then she says....it's TOO small 'to get priorities in'. 

Then she just kinda left it there....never explaining her 'priorities'.  

2.  The chatter of missing Christmas gifts in November/December?  It grows louder.  I'd go and suggest for kids....you'd best buy the stuff this week and not wait any longer.  If you fail?  Figure up some story over the reindeer dying off because of Covid.....that they didn't have a Covid vaccine for reindeer.

3.  There's some comments about that meeting of President Biden and House Democrats last week....to whip up enthusiasm for the 3-trillion deal.....that this went negative, and Biden actually hurt the situation more than helped it.

The one obvious thing you see since January.....the more that President Biden talks about something....the less confident you feel about whatever it is that is being discussed.  Can't remember anything like this in the past fifty years.  

4. The UK and this gas station crisis?  Well....here's the simple explanation. When they voted for BREXIT, the one big detail was that foreigners would be forced out of the UK, with the idea that too many foreigners were taking jobs.  On paper, it all made sense.

So in the past couple of months, as the final details of expulsing the foreigners finally out of the UK....no one really asked what the number were in certain trades. Well....fuel delivery in the UK....was mostly a UK person, but a fair number (probably as much as one-third)....were non-British citizens.  

They left, and suddenly....in a matter of just a week or two....a national crisis occurred.  I'd also go and suggest that if you dig into it....more than forty different professions are facing a crisis but on a smaller scale.  

What will happen now?  Starting today.....the Brit military gets into the work.  How long? I would be guessing they will be doing the job for a minimum of three months.  

Recruitment in Europe for truckers?  It's started up but lets be serious....countries like Germany and France already had a minor shortage on trucker, and I doubt that the Brits get 10,000 truckers like they talk about.  Kinda funny....more than enough losers....or flower-ladies....or police, but not enough to drive trucks.

5.  Starting 1 October, the postal folks have said they are going to a slower schedule.  The emphasis?  If you mail a letter first class, from your local station....to a office in your county area...instead of three days of getting there, it's now likely to be five days.  Yes, it would have been better to take the letter yourself and just bring it to the county office.  

Pretty slow?  They say it's reversed to the level of 1970.

Next step?  It wouldn't surprise me if we reach 2025, and they slow it 'again'....adding several days and make it two weeks to get an envelop sixteen miles across the county to the destination. 

Getting to 'pony-express' stage?  I might live long enough to see that rate of speed return (expect by 2040).
