Four Things I Don't Understand About Hunter Biden

 1.  Why buy a gun?

Did someone in the drug-business make a threat?  It just doesn't make much sense....you go through life and after age 40.....then you buy a pistol.

2.  If you are a regular (daily) user of cocaine....is it that bright to have a pistol around in your possession?

3.  With all the stuff on the laptop now analyzed.....with 300-odd charges that you could rack up....it's a paperwork drill that you screw up on?

4.  Then finally, why did the sister-in-law of Hunter's....need to be told/updated that he had a gun....then why did she react by taking the gun away and tossing it into a dumpster?  

Viewing the Basketball Player....Caitlin Clark And The WNBA

 To be honest, I've almost quit viewing major league baseball, and NFL football...because of all the woke-gimmicks and crappy sports-chatter.

Over the past year....I've started to watch some NBA action (strictly the Denver Nuggets), and all this hyped-up NCAA ladies basketball....with Caitlin Clark.

Clark wrapped up her college years, and in the past 2 months....started WNBA action.  

So I'll make three observations:

1.  Clark as far as I'm concerned is probably the best overall college basketball gal to come out of the system in the past decade...maybe even ever.

2.  The WNBA needs some 'lift'....because nothing over the past 20 years has pumped up fans.

3. This keeping her off  the Olympic ladies team?  Well...this afternoon, I read that NBC has offered Clark a analyst job at the games.  Peeving the ladies even more?  Oh yeah.....every critical play that they screw up on....Clark will identify it and how they could have done better. 

Amazing how this whole thing has turned into a circus.

Time Blindness?

 I sat and watched a video where a young lady (I'd suggest she was 20)....confessed that she had something called “time blindness” which meant she was continually late to work.

At first, I thought she was just 100-percent bluffing.  Well....no, she indicated that she had a problem and the boss let her go because of the continuing trend of being late.

At my first job in the Air Force....the boss  (Sarge) let it be known....work started at 7:30 AM, and you could be two minutes late without a harsh reaction.  Beyond 5 minutes late....Sarge would let you get the full 'dump'.  Anything beyond 15 minutes late...had better have a good explanation....like a car accident or snowfall.

I started to notice with airmen after 2000....this lateness thing was becoming a big issue.  This often went hand-in-hand with people who refused to wear a watch.  For these people....time didn't matter.

Selling The Gavin Newsom Brand As Biden's Replacement?

 I'll make three observations here.

First, in California....it just seems like that three-quarters of the state is pretty much finished over Newsom.....as governor, and it makes it hard to see how he'd sell himself as a Presidential candidate.

I noticed last week....some podcast where the moderator talked to a dozen Compton, California blacks....who were ALL fairly negative.  I think  the general black population has a chance to review the situation....most all will be anti-Newsom and thus gear the state for a Trump-win.

Second, Newsom has an odd history....constant travel.  Someone remarked last year....that a data collection was mounted over the previous 365 days of Newsom as Governor, and he was on the road around 250-plus days out of 365.  They compared this to his period as mayor of SF....finding basically the same story....he's on the road a great deal of time.

Third, his push of the $20-an-hour for employees of burger-joints has dissolved 10,000 jobs in California this year (2024).  Imagine him at work in DC...getting a chance to repeat the strategy.  

Five Things I Think Will Happen By 1 January 2025

 1. I think Elon Musk will realize that Tesla's board will not pay him the promised $5-billion 'bonus'....start selling his stock (all of it), and exit Tesla as the CEO.  The company will go into a spiral in 2025....finding that Elon-hype ended as he left the company.

2.  Over forty mid-sized banks....heavily into commercial mortgage loans....will be in failure-mode, with the FDIC unable to save them.  Throughout October,  Congress....who should be in full election mode....will instead stand there in a crisis and realize that FDIC is no longer capable of doing their mission.

3.  At least two teams (Dallas and Atlanta) of the WNBA will be discussing a 'collapse' due to the attendance issues (averaging between 3,500 and 4,500 fans a game).

4.  Hunter Biden will be convicted on one of the three charges (the one where he possesses a new gun and yet went though the next 11 days of continued cocaine use).  My prediction?  He gets a hefty fine, and has to show 90 days of drug  testing 'clean' to avoid one year in prison. He fails the drug test requirement and spends some time in prison with Trump pardoning him by the end of January 2025.

5.  The top three financial advisers to President Biden will each be asked  three basic questions over economics (before the election)....questions that a 2nd year college kid could answer.  The three advisers will fail  all three questions.  CNN will repeat the test to three of their 'experts'....finding they also fail the test.  

Trump Chatter

 I sat and pondered over this Trump-talk.  First, he's saying that he is open to the idea.....not that he'd fully sign on.

In general, you can do three things to get a problem-alien back to their  country:

1.  You can deny any US funding/grants to that country.

2.  You can deny entry to any tourists from that country.

3.  You can tariff countries who are uncooperative....meaning you (the US consumer) will pay more for that product.

On this tariff....who is in the worst spot?  Well....I'd say China is at the top.   Countries like Afghanistan are near the bottom.

Would the House/Senate agree?  The Democrats would say absolutely no to the idea.

But I think the key issue here....if you said it MIGHT happen....it'd scare the crap out of five-million aliens, and off they'd go to Canada real quick. Canada would turn and say you got papers for the US....the US needs to accept them back, and the US would yank on the Canadian trade situation by forcing a tariff on their products.  Yeah, this could get real messy.

The Disappeared

 This week.....former FBI Deputy 'boss',,,,Andrew McCabe....did a interview and said that there are some FBI employees now worried that Trump investigate and jail them if elected president.  Then he commented....this is triggering them to consider the crazy idea of leaving the US (Trump were to win).

I sat and pondered over it.

The only safe non-extradition countries?  Vietnam, China,  UAE, Columbia, Iran, Morocco, Moldova, Brunei, Belarus, Cuba, and Cambodia.  To be honest, Russia probably wouldn't honor any request of the US, and I'm guessing that the EU might be stupid enough to crank up a quick no-extradite situation just for FBI agents.

The problem is....you have a particular skill and a limited number of places to apply for a job.  If the banking industry were given a order by the government to ban you....there's not many places left to hire you.

Maybe China might hire you but I'd be asking what kind of propaganda status am I stuck in.

Just how many folks is McCabe talking about?  He doesn't say.  I would be guessing around 500 folks who hold some problem, but that's purely a guess on my part.

Just escaping?  Well...if this were me....I'd be putting my DC property up for sale....even though it's a crappy time to sell, and cash in all the loot I could gather, and just secretly/quietly....move to Panama.  I would not say much or advertise anything...just to plan on being 'gone' by December.

As for my life after disappearing?  Well....I'd probably write some kind crime novel about evil right-wing agenda people....hoping that left-wing readers would  buy it and sustain my lifestyle.  

Yeah, I'd call it a phase of American history, where weird events went on for a decade, and led back to the FBI....then they just all suddenly disappeared.
