The Problems Of Running Michelle Obama As President

 While I think Gov Newsom has a real resume.....I also suspect that President Obama is sitting there....wanting to have some control over the end and transfer of power from President Biden....to someone that fit on his 'team'.

Issues in running Michelle Obama?

1.  Zero resume.  It's a 3 inch by 5 inch index card.

2.  On economics, trade, commerce, taxation....her knowledge level is near zero. 

3.  I don't think more than 50-percent of blacks will respect her.

4.  Understanding of international relations, military actions, and trade wars?  She lacks the fundamentals.

5.  It wouldn't take much on speeches to convince people she's just another VP Harris marginalized character.

6.  If Biden figures out it's her....will he just accept that?  I have doubts.

7.  That drowned cook story lingers.

8.  Is she possibly trans?

9.  She's never held even a City Commissioner position.

10.  Debate skills?  

Solar Chatter

 I paused over a story this AM.....'Pentagon to install rooftop solar panels, as part of Biden administration strategy'.

So first, I'm just curious how many battery units we are talking about and where exactly will they be 'hidden'?  Just a humble guess....it has to be in the neighborhood of four tractor trailer loads of batteries...somewhere stored in the structure.

Amount of sunshine?  Oh I agree...in Virginia, for spring, summer and fall....it's probably 80-percent productive days.  Winter?  I doubt if it passes more than 60-percent.  I was there for 3.5 years and will admit winters are harsh.

Just covering the AC units?  It's a massive amount of power required for the building presently.....so  I doubt that the installation price breaks even....even by the 10th year.

A potential failed project?  Well....you can't admit that until you get about ten years into the story.

Research Chatter

 I read through about a dozen lines of this WaPo piece....entitled: "Doing your own research is a good way to end up being wrong."

So I pondered over it.

I have five problems with this analysis:

1.  The quality of journalist across the nation goes from 5th-grade mentality to actual competent journalist.  I can't say it's high school or college, but it seems like a number of folks slept through journalism.

2.  With a red-pen, I can typically mark at least three issues in a 40-line story....where the facts are marginal, and it's mostly a propaganda piece.  

3. Narratives.....are overly emphasized these days.

4.   If I caught you (as the journalist) doing something wrong....what'll  happen?  Nothing.  You will still be printing garbage tomorrow.

5. My skepticism level has gone up a good bit....how exactly will this reverse?

Four Humble Thoughts

 1. I tried to watch 20 minutes each of MSNBC and CNN coverage of Iowa's caucus 'end'.  

I got about 4 minutes into CNN before giving up.  It felt like the group of commentary folks were all in some cannabis-psychosis situation.  

I went to MSNBC, and made to around the 7 minute point before leaving the network.  In their case, it was a paranoia staged event....all having PTTD (Post-traumatic Trump disorder).

2.  If we continue through the primary season with Vivek campaigning for Trump?  Most of the political commentary folks will find people skeptical of them....not Vivek.

3.  It would appear that Biden has stepped up his campaign travel.  But I also see hints of him being more tired and run-down.

4.  John Kerry spoke yesterday and said his primary focus for remaining year....get Biden re-elected.  I'm not sure if this is a plus or minus. 

Babylon Bee Commentary

 At least once a day....I'll browse over the The Babylon Bee.  For those who haven't noticed it....the BB does fake news stories (100-percent fake).  The problem is....within 6 to 12 months....people tend to go back and notice that the fake news item has basically turned 'true'.

So today.....the headline was "Healthy High School Kid Fakes Mental Illness So He Can Fit In With Everyone Else."

I paused over it.

If you were 15 years old today, and in some average school....you'd probably note at least 3-percent of the kids in the school as 'mentally ill' (either through prescription pills, cannabis use, mania problems, sexual fetishes, psychosis or full-up paranoia).

If you fell into a group of five or six, and wanted some acceptance?  Well....yes, you would probably fake-up some mental illness or paranoid schizophrenia.  Maybe in the beginning.....you could just do it at school, and 'turn' it off when reaching home.  

The problem I see....as time goes  by....a year or two into this fake act....your mom is probably going to take you some clinic....to say your psychosis or mania issues are noticeable. You'd fake-talk your way with Doctor Betty, and she'd write something down to be in your permanent records.....you were bad-off....then giving you a prescription for some really good alternate-reality drugs.  If you were faking your fetishes or weirdness before....it'll be a permanent thing by this point.

So yeah, I might believe 50-percent of high school kids are in some form of psychosis.

I don't see this ending well.

If I Could Change Three Things Over The Election System

 1.  I'd dump January, February and March primaries.  I'd have a brief six week 'fun-packed' primary period starting in late April and ending by early June.   

2.  I'd mandate a national ID card (issued by Social Security)....free of charge, and required to vote.  No ID?  No vote.  

3.  Some kind of mental/physical check of candidates (even down to county commission seats).  

Consequences Story

 On rare visits to the US....I will find myself in a Wal-Mart and just browsing.  I might buy six to eight things, and waste three hours in the process.

I paused over the amount of security going on (especially in California).  

My old three-hours browse?  Well....with these conditions....it'd probably add at least two additional hours onto a simple trip.

But here's the thing....if you really peeved me off and wasted that much time....I'd probably lessen my shopping trip.  I might even just go to Amazon and order 'stuff'....rather than walking into a store.

So this brings me to the consequences of this added security business.  I think in three to five years....more than half of the brick-and-mortar stores in America will shut down.

We probably will not realize it until the damage has been completed.
