If you have an insurrection, and no one brings swords, machetes, pistols, rifles, munitions, armament, daggers', sabers, pitchforks, baseball bats, or knives.....is it a defined 'insurrection'?

Twenty Things
1. The odds of you sitting at some bar table, and having a one-hour cordial/civil conversation with strangers today? It's pretty much a 20-percent chance, and lessens by a percent point each three months.
We are at a point where some folks will openly defend the NCAA bowl process, or defend evil as being a necessity in life, or present a good case for living under bridges as being 'normal'.
2. Nancy Pelosi's husband DUI? Gone....no one will mention it. Now, if you asked how much he paid to have this type of action? You just wonder about that.
3. You just notice after a while.....about 50-percent of the nation wants to be left alone....no government harassment....no lectures....no regulation....no hurdles to live a happy life. The other 50-percent want lectures daily, massive regulation, hurdles upon hurdles to achieve success, and government involvement in every aspect of your life.
4. There are some idiots talking about a 'civil war' brewing if the Republicans win in some massive way in the mid-terms.
One would need a lot of pretender-actors to show any resemblance to a civil war.
5. This Idaho event where anti-gay white nationalists were arrested (thirty-odd of them).....do you realize that they brought to the event in a U-Haul truck? Really?
They just opened the rear....out popped the thirty guys, and cops were there to arrest them. Neat and tidy theatrical show.
6. On my list of things to worry about/fear.....Monkeypox has probably passed alien abduction now. But I still rate poisonous snakes at position one.
7. If you were looking for Presidential-material and demanding integrity.....probably fewer than five individuals in America worth reviewing for the 'job'.
8. Joe Biden in the debates of 2020: "No more subsidies for the fossil fuel industry. No more drilling including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill period. It ends."
He actually said it and achieved it. Now? You have to wonder if he even remembers the hype.
9. At the pace of things, by 2030....I expect all schools/business operations/resturants/bars/airports....to have only one-gender bathrooms. The days of men's rooms and women's rooms? It'll dissolve away. Enjoy while you got them.
10. There's talk of a national shortage for tampax/tampons. How this occurred? We'd need a Congressional hearing to accomplish that....but the folks don't have time for this type of investigation.
Where they will find a supply? Probably in Switzerland and Pakistan....probably Air Force cargo planes being prepared to brings hundreds of tons of tampons to America.
11. We seem to have a shortage plain ordinary people....without any weird habits or drugged-up behaviors..
12. You tend to notice the use of the term 'good Christians' being used now. It's like the character trait that people tried to reshape....saying there were 'good Nazis' and 'bad Nazis'.....so in this reference, there are 'bad Christians' in some illusionary world.
13. There's hardly a day that passes when reading news pieces....where you don't notice some journalist using the word 'horde'.
Horde basically means a collection or group of people. Just to be honest, it's from the 16th century and tended to mean a tribal unit or a group of uncivil people bent on destruction.
14. Just something I noticed....twenty years ago....philosophers seemed to have logic and capability to win arguments....today? At best, they present poor arguments.
Twenty years ago, comedians had humor in their material. Today? Most lack humor.
Twenty years ago, investigative journalists existed. Today? It's a blend of juvenile 1-star reporting and propagandists.
What happened?
15. I noticed this week, some psychologist saying that a 'good' life doesn't have to be happy or meaningful.
I didn't think the guy got out much and traveled around the nation.
If you weren't doing anything meaningful or had marginal happiness....then you'd need a fair amount of alcohol or drugs to make-up for your 'problem'.
16. Someone noted this week that YouTube started a policy on some news elements appearing via their system.....must be age-restricted (meaning you shouldn't watch the news if under the age of 16).
I was thinking this is a pretty nifty idea....but I'd do this for CNN, WaPo, and NY Times as well.
17. When you have a 11-year old kid dishing out disinformation.....you know that things are bad off.
18. The odds that Joe Biden has not filled his personal vehicle with fuel in the past twenty years? I'd give it a 90-percent chance.
19. The term 'emergency' used to be used only on rare occasions. It's a word that you probably hear at least six times a day now.
20. The Uvalde town police chief....amazingly enough....says now that he didn't realize he was in charge, upon arriving at the school shooting.
Usually, at least with my Air Force years....when we had chaotic event....there were a dozen-odd people who'd arrive and all claim they were in charge, and we had an abundance of people yelling 'orders'. This Uvalde situation seems to be the entirely opposite situation....no one was ever in charge.
This makes me ask....of other past events like this....was this also a root issue noticed by people?

Two Things I Noticed
1. Mark Hamill (Star Wars fame) said yesterday....Former President Donald Trump incited a “violent insurrection” and “coup”....while talking on the 6th of January 2021.
If you watch various news pieces or read enough on the internet, throughout 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.....probably over 1,000 noted personalities called for insurrection/coup events on a daily basis. Hamill is marginally correct, but missed the other 5,000,000 incite-events.
2. The same people who worry about the US spending billions and billions without proper accounting.....now seem worried about the billions and billions being spent on the Ukraine....without proper accounting. Maybe they have a point, but they didn't get far on this 'to-do' list.
This Trend of Bringing Kids to 'Drag' Shows
If you'd suggested five years ago that some trend would start up and seven-year-old kids would be taken into a bar....to watch a 'drag' show, most folks would have laughed. Yet, here we are.
So to my three key points:
1. If you think this is ethically OK or permissible.....then it shouldn't be a big deal to drag the seven-year-old to a topless bar, a hard-rated 'R' movie, or viewing of some adult-movie.
2. If the ten-year-old kid goes and then responds that he wants to drive the car home, or get a machete, or marry up with the lunchroom lady....that shouldn't be a big deal.....right?
3. Finally, it just seems odd that the 'drag' folks don't seem bothered by this, or laying down some 'no' situations.
What'll happen in 2023? I suspect a dozen states will have a process where parents are under some threat of losing their kids because of stupid behavior like this. The odds that the Democratic Party will make this some national agenda? If I were a working-class typical Democratic voter....I'd start shaking my head over this direction....something seriously wrong.

Joe's Habits
Just five things you notice whenever President Biden appears in some relaxed mode on TV:
1. He always remove the mask when he knows he's on camera, and if someone standing there....he shakes their hand immedately.
2. He says 'LOOK' a good bit.
3. If he has to mention someone's name....it's a 50-percent chance that he'll either pronounce it wrong or get the name totally wrong.
4. He seems to mumble an awful lot. Over ten minutes....there's a ratio of 1 mumble every 90 seconds.
5. At each 10-minute sitting....there's a minimum of one mention of 'ancient' history (1960s/1970s). 'When I walked five miles to school' or 'garbage used to only picked-up once every week'.....are possible utterances.
Things could be worse....Harris talking about the old days in SF, and giggling over things.
Realities
1. Someone will wake up in a few days and simply speak to the idea that only stupid Republicans would come to a up-and-up insurrection....with water-bottles, umbrellas, and fail to even burn a candy-bar wrapper.
2. Forty-year high on inflation, and the biggest show of June to resolve this? A 6-January insurrection show.
3. By the time that the feds get to the charges business on the attempted murder of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh....I expect 'Randy' (the dimwit California guy) to be herded up for mental evaluation, and probably go spend the next three years at some facility in Maryland. He'll be released then (never charged) and go to court to get the right to buy guns again.
4. Biden on the Jimmy Kimmel Show? It's best not to watch it, or if you already saw it three or four times....pour four shots of gin to forget about the Biden comments.
5. More added regulations....usually results in less obedience by the general public.
6. Bernie Sanders said: "You really can’t win an election with a bumper sticker that says: Well, we can't do much, but the other side is worse."
He is correct.....the Democratic brand/message for 2022 mid-terms is crappy, and no one motivated much for 2024.
7. I watched about 15 minutes of the 6 January committee episode and then came to realize....a lot of the chatter came via teleprompter 'cues'. It was feeling like 'Dan' from Channel 9 news. I started shaking my head....pure show, nothing much else.
8. If all of the 6 January crowd had worn BLM shirts....no one would have said or done much. Funny how your attire shifts the conversation.

Joe Talking
Joe Biden comment while on comedy show last night:
“You turn on the TV, look at the ads, when’s the last time you saw biracial couples on TV? When’s the last time you saw.. I mean people are selling products.. they do ads and sell products and they say products when people they appeal to people”.I sat there....watching this five times. Yeah, when TV ads come on....it's people selling products. And products appeal to some people.
Out of focus? It reminded of a guy at the general store (as a kid in Alabama) who was clearly talking out of his 'butt', and about every sentence that was leading to some insight/wisdom....led to a second sentence that made no sense. My dad would suggest later (in the truck)....you needed some time to reflect upon his wisdom.
