Three Odd Things You Notice In The News Today

 1.  There's chatter that McDonalds is having a discussion....moving their headquarters out of Chicago.  Reason?  Crime, and the feeling of threats in the city.

Any real truth to it?  My guess is that a couple of folks in the building have just said 'thats enough' and found jobs in safer territory. 

Where would the company move?  There is some suggestion that they'd go to the far extreme western part of town.  

If I were betting?  I'd put North Carolina, and Tennessee on the list.

2.  NIH did a study over the Covid vax given to kids.

So far?  The study says after 20 weeks (from vax date), you (as a kid) have negative effectiveness.  You'd have to take the vax every three months to get anything positive.

3.  Finally, this guy who plays the Flash (the movie), Ezra Miller, apparently has some mental condition now....that he believes some Jesus-like character.  Yeah, pretty wild situation.  

This NYC Chatter of a Criminal Case Against Texas For Migrant Buses?

 Basically, the only case possible is if Texas authorities made a threat, or forced the migrants to board the buses.

If they were just told of better work-conditions in NYC, given a bus ticket and a box-lunch, with a dozen beers to drink during the 24 hour 'journey'....there's just not a legal case that you can make out of this.

It would be like those Vegas casinos offering you in Tucson a free bus ticket (with a bag of snacks)....to journey for six hours to reach a casino....gamble for six hours, and then journey back home.  

Hate crime?  No.

If the Texas guy said there's better paying jobs in NYC?  Well....there is, and no one can argue about that in a court.

The idea here by the Biden administration that you'd just let folks cross, and then maybe use some weird set-up to take some to special sites in Florida, or various Republican strongholds?  Well....the Republican states figured this out and 'played' another hand of poker.  

What'll happen?  I suspect by December....some House draft bill will say that you can't charter buses or planes for crossing state lines, unless you get permission from the destination-state to accept the folks.  But in doing so.....you will make state-to-state tourism nearly impossible to function.  

It is truly screwed-up but no one wanted a true border.  

Five Observations

 1.  Covid officially declared by President Biden over the weekend, as ENDED.

Frankly, it was probably over in the spring of 2021 (my humble view).  Will the White House walk his comment back this week?  Some people have suggested that.

2.  This illegals and Martha's Vineyard stuff.

Everyone in the US has the right to travel from one point to another.  If none of them were handcuffed or forced....then I don't see the big deal or reaction by the Vineyard 'idiots'.  If you were asking me about accommodations in the Vineyard?  Well....there is no Motel-6 or cheapo place to stay, and they intentionally limit the unwanted guests (doesn't matter if they were illegals or homeless folks).

3.  This discussion of President Biden holding a campaign rally in Florida?

BS mostly.  They would have to find some method to get a minimum of 3,000 people to show up, and I would suspect at least half would be getting free pizza or some $50 gift-card.

4.  Apparently, there is some trend to bring the eunuch crowd up under the LGTB*** group.

I sat and paused over this chatter.  For those not familiar with the eunuch folks....they are the ones who were forced or volunteered to be castrated.  

The numbers?  Medical folks generally say in the range of 500,000 men exist in the US in this eunuch condition.  However, they also point out that most all of them got there because of a medical condition (usually cancer) and you probably can do the statistical stuff to say half of them are Republicans or conservative lifestyle guys.  Maybe there's a couple thousand of them to fit under this LGTB*** umbrella.  Eventually, I think at least sixteen 'letters' will fall under the group....some of them twice or three times mentioned.

5.  Some BS story circulating that companies (really HR departments) are advertising what they call 'ghost-jobs' (meaning it's a fake advertisement and no interviews will occur).

The general belief to this trend?  That the company is seeking a government contract and wants to show resumes, but if the contract fails to occur.....they didn't waste valuable time.

Five Odd Things In The News

 1.  The Biden Administration is discussing regulations for cryptocurrency.  Odds of this working?  I'd give it less than a 10-percent chance.  

Why this discussion? Back in 2013, there were 50 of these worldwide.  Today, it's believed to be in the 10,000 range.  

2.  World Bank now talking 2023 major global recession?  Yeah.

What has been going on for past year?  Don't ask.

3.  Where all this secret document business is going with the Mar-a-Lago?

Once the appointed 'master' completes his survey.....he's going to have a list of documents that President Trump stamped unclassified.  At that point, the judge is going to turn to the DoJ and just tell them to hand those documents back to Trump ASAP.  

One can only speculate here, but it might end up being close to 100-percent.  At that point, the whole raid 'game' will become a joke.  

I will make this prediction....several of the DoJ lawyers are going to quietly hand their resignation papers in and leave the group before Thanksgiving.

4.  Pretty wild idea brewing with several major US cities....where they would get a program going where empty hotel rooms would be made available to homeless people, and normal hotel guests would be next-door to the homeless crowd.

I would anticipate those cities would see a drastic reduction in tourism (almost overnight). 

All of this will trigger lawsuits over loss of profits, and trigger some cities to see less tax revenue (via hotels and tourism decline).

5.  The Pentagon last year (December timeframe), hired up a educational 'diversity chief' (mostly for overseas schools for American kids).  Well...in the past couple of months, someone went and dug up Twitter comments from this person hired, where they got all hyped-up and spoke racist comments.  

Vetting being non-existent?  Well, you wonder how the system worked and no one asked about past commentary via social media.  

What Is Human-Trafficking Really?

 The Pentagon mandated some kind of human trafficking 'training' on personnel around twenty years ago.  The idea was.....no one would go and pay for hookers or pass money into the human-trafficking 'gimmick'.  

In the past week, I've noticed the term of human-trafficking used a good bit....mostly by people who don't understand the concept.

If you go and buy a seat aboard a train, bus, or airline....to transport someone somewhere.....with no return on your ticket cost, it's not human-trafficking.  

If no money is earned or expected on the expenditure of the ticket....it cannot be human-trafficking.  

Why this vast misunderstanding by the news people?  I'm not sure.  I suspect they want to believe something 'terrible' but can't explain how it relates.  

Four Things I Wonder About

 1.  Every time I see Governor Newsom of California on TV, I gaze at his hair and wonder how many tubes of gel he uses weekly for his greasy hair look.  

In the 1960s/1970s of rural Alabama, I would notice  adult guys who probably used a jar of gel weekly....to get the right 'swag' of hair 'look'.  Maybe around age 12, I even went to the gel-look for a month (apply a dab each morning prior to school).  It just felt 'wet' all day long.  

2.  On this Pennsylvania debate discussion between Oz and Fetterman....I've come to this thought that Fetterman probably was never 100-percent mentally up for much of anything, and that maybe a fair amount of Cannabis use as a young guy....got him to this 'level' of existing.

But on the other side of this.....Oz is pretty much the last guy on Earth that I'd want to send to DC for Senate work.  

3.  Rap artists in Atlanta getting political, and putting out their own message/brand.....which might disagree with established Democratic political brands?

Yeah, and you just have to wonder....where this will go.

The thing is, you could write up a 2-minute rap-jingle, and using Twitter or Tik-Tok....get it across to 100,000 Atlanta voters in a matter of minutes.  

The city ending up with a rap-mayor, and half the city council being rap-minded?  

4.  Study showing intense workouts.....causing more stress on people, and possibly trigger memory problems?  Well....it begs questions and makes you wonder about all these hyped-up folks who exercise twenty hours a week.

Observations

 1.  Exactly 402 years ago today....the Mayflower left for the new world.  

Late in the season?  Yeah....they should have been leaving already in March, and had a whole growing season behind themselves, with shelter built.

2.  Some kind of statement by Governor Newsom of California.....suggesting to the DoJ to charge up states sending illegals by bus anywhere....that it ought to be kidnapping.

3.  Some (just a few) colleges are now admitting there is a mental health crisis with students who are conflicted over global warming and the crisis impending.  It's reached a point where some intervention and wellbeing efforts have to occur.  

In simple terms, these are kids who are too fragile to handle climate change.
