Five Things Joe Screwed Up On

 1.  On the economy....he should have brought in five people and directed them....make this economy take-off and look great in three years.

2.  He should have gazed at the Afghanistan withdrawal, and brought in someone to manage this in a professional way.

3.  He should have said 'NO' to refugees having a open-door situation.

4.  He should have held limits for the Ukraine.

5.  He should never have hired Kamala as VP.  Even Hillary would have been a better choice. 

It's funny where we are today....Trump likely returning....beating a hundred obstacles, and one assassination attempt....then he selects some Kentucky 'hick' guy who grew up in a messed-up family with the grandma the ONLY thing keeping him on-track.  If you wrote this 1,500-page saga....no one would believe you.  

Oh, and don't forget the Fanni-chapter.  

My Problem With The Prove-You-Are-American Scheme

 Basically, at the end of this discussion....you'd have to talk over two issues.

First, can you read AND write....thus comprehend?  

I'd say near around 3-million Americans...on these three things....can't read, or write, or comprehend.  What exactly will you do with them?

Second, none of this identify-BS works....unless you issue out ID cards, which I know.....no one wants to do that.

I'm not against the prove-this or prove-that stuff....just that we need a complete conversation, and admit one-percent of society is pretty stupid, and we can't talk about that problem.

(This is where I tell  a US Army story from 1982.  Roger got recruited and signed up from eastern Kentucky. His momma drove him to the bus station.

The Army took Roger through boot-camp and told him....for his 2 years remaining....he was to be sent to Germany.

Roger arrived at the unit, and handed them his records....in particular the finance folder.

Roger spent the 2 years with no issues.  About 3 months before his discharge, the Army brought Roger in and was doing the checklist.  Then they discovered Roger had NOT been paid since the end of boot-camp (nearly 2 years ago).

Sarge brought Roger in....asked various questions.   The Captain asked more. Roger seemed not to have missed the monthly pay business. Momma sent Roger a crisp twenty-dollar bill each month, and he mostly ate out of the chow hall.  Occasionally, momma would send a box with socks and underwear.  

The Army then realized that Roger probably wasn't that bright, and just seem to take everything in stride. 

They added up the missing money...in the $25k to $30k range.    They called his momma and reported the situation (she was worried he'd gotten into trouble). No, said the Army.....just that when she picked Roger up at the airport...he'd have a check for his service and she needed to drive him to a bank.

I would imagine out of 300-million Americans....there's probably at least two million 'Rogers' out there, and surviving mostly because of fate or luck.)

I should add....if you had to go and ask Roger to prove his American status...he'd be totally lost. 

The Better Projection: Joe or Kamala?

 There's this odd lab-experiment going on.  

Most all voters have an image and belief in Joe Biden. It's pretty divided....for Democrats....Joe never had to re-invent himself. His talk, his jokes, his antics.....legendary stuff for 40 years.   

Presently, selling Kamala?  Well....there has to be a reinvention situation going on.  The bulk of Democrats don't know her....even after 8 years of the Senate or 3.5 years as VP.  California Democrats know her....mostly via her SF DA days, or the Attorney General period for the state.  To be honest, half of those folks aren't really out front and talking about her.

So the lab experiment is this....in 70-odd days...can you remake a person into something 'else'?

This is like taking a cheap piece of steak (a bit fatty)...putting on a plate with a small baked potato, and offering this with a fake Coke-like drink for $16. You would size up the steak, the small potato and the fake Coke, and either accept the price or  decline.  Some people would respond....sure, I'll take the steak deal for $10, and be peeved that they can't swing the deal.

Maybe if you had a whole year to work on this....the re-branding of Kamala would be more workable.  This swap-out for example....should have been done in the fall of 2023, with Kamala getting dozens of events to present herself.

So I'm mostly convinced.....this is a ill-conceived lab-experiment.  Who can I blame?  Well...the DNC and Joe.  

Will this be discussed for decades?  Yeah.  I would imagine at least six books will come out in 2025....laying out the failure of the lab-experiment and the 'tricks' which failed.

It Has Been On My Mind: The Desk Picture

 Yesterday, President Biden went to the White House studio....it's set up with lights cameras and props....so he can give a 'story' on a moment's notice.

For some reason, what they've given him for a desk prop...is some $200 college room desk. 

Yeah, it's about a quarter the size of his actual desk.

A number of folks have offered the opinion that it's 'insulting' and a joke.

If they'd gone out to buy an actual real executive desk?  Well....it would have been in the $25,000 range (I know, because we had a Air Force major in Panama who'd gone and ordered such a desk).

I'm not pro-desk or anti-desk....just that it's a prop....like the flags, or the fake window.  

It's a silly discussion but we get this almost daily now....for 3.5 years.....a goofy scene that is mostly amusing.  

When Politicians Speak In 'Tongues'

 Up through the 2000s.....it was just rare when you had some politician who suddenly came up and spoke in 'tongues' (meaning they suddenly spoke 'southern').  

I know...some of you would have a different meaning of 'tongues'.....saying it means something totally different in Pentecostal Christian situations.  

But the situation is mostly the same.....it's a fake accent game....meant to draw you to some 'other' conclusion.  

I usually give the person giving the talk about 15 seconds....just to gauge how bad the accent is....then I mute the TV.

The sad thing is that they usually draw upon a Georgia or South Carolina accent....not the Texan or West Virginia accent.  

Doing this in a non-southern state?  NO...that won't happen.

Should it be outlawed?  No.....we ought to encourage it.  Once they show that they can 'do' it....force them to stick with the accent.

Four Theories Of Mine

 Just things that have been on my mind for years:

1.   Seth Rich murder in DC.

I think among the odd things Seth had stumbled into with the IT management of Hillary Clinton's DC data....without really grasping it....I think he stumbled into money-laundering of a fairly significant amount (probably more than $100-million), and this was not a US source.

So in the end....without really knowing the full angle of things....someone had to clean up a mess.  

2.  Building 7 collapsing on 9-11.

So....here's my theory....across the street (north) from Building 7....there are several structures of lesser height.  The street in question is Barclay Street.  On the roof of one of these buildings was a energy-wave weapon, and these guys on this rooftop....had a angle shot of WTC 5/6....over the top of Building 7.  

Yes, they had to know of the two planes being directed and crashing into the towers.

So in the effort to collapse WTC 5/6....their energy wave weapon spread a beam over the top couple of floors of Building 7 as well....meaning that without any effort of a plane....the top floors melted and collapsed in upon itself.

3.  The effort to convince Charles Manson, who could not read/write, that he was a high IQ individual....was entirely bogus, and likely a CIA development to see if you could convince someone of something that was completely false.

4.  On Hunter Biden and the Ukraine oil/natural gas company...Burisma.  

I think the entire board was suspect and likely none of them had any expertise for the kind of work required.  

Who really owned the board/company?  I suspect Russian oligarch folks.  The money tunnel?  Well....the building and 'appearance' all led to Ukraine....but profits all led back to Cyprus (not Ukraine).  

The 20-odd companies under Burisma?  They likely had incompetent people on their boards as well. 

My Humble View of the Trump Assassination Attempt

 Six observations:

1.  I think there was Patsy #1 and Patsy #2...meaning Crooks had his friend/associate as part of the original planning process....with a middle-guy #1 (who they never conversed via a phone).

Patsy #1 (Crooks, the shooter) was to get his shot or two off, when Patsy #2 had the pipe-bomb assignment.  Patsy #2 built the pipe-bombs and they were packed into a back-pack....similar in nature to the back-pack which Patsy #1 had.

Patsy #1 felt absolutely sure he'd have an escape situation.

On the morning of the event...middle-guy #1 helped to convey the bags into the zone (meaning he had some security clearance to the site).  

Patsy #1/#2 arrived separately (never to be seen together in any video).  

As Patsy #2 met to get the bag with the pipe-bombs....he was eliminated. I'm guessing he was stuffed into a rubberized container or wooden box....to be carted out that evening and buried in some wooded site....by middle-guy #2.

Patsy #1 picked up his weapon bag, and went to the planned site. As soon as Patsy #1 was eliminated....the van, which was to be parked at X-point....was NOT parked at the assigned point, and later found by the regular cops.  Why this was goofed up?  Unknown.  But this is the problem laid upon Patsy #1/#2....not the middle-guy #1.

2.  None of this attempt would have worked....had this Secret Service team been a  full-up crew, with an experienced event planner.  Whoever selected the site for the Trump-team....had some some type of connection to middle-guy #1 or his associates.  

3.  I just find it odd....CNN had never gone to cover a Trump event live.  On this occasion, they were there.  Someone in the CNN empire had some type of chatter they were following....to lead them to make this a priority to cover live. Beyond that....they know nothing.  Had Trump died there....CNN would have been the only network with premium  coverage for the next 12 hours.

4.  The Secret Service, as they present themselves today.....are finished.  They will be gutted-up in January.  The term 'Secret Service' will be gone by mid-summer of 2025.  There will be two 'services' existing by that point.  One group will be solely for the protection of the present President/VP and family members.  The other group, I believe will be ONLY for past Presidents/VPs and family members.  The members of each group will not be swapped out.  

5.  Whoever is middle-guy #1 and #2....if they haven't figured this out presently....they are not likely to exist/live...past the end of 2024.  If I were either guy....I'd disappear into Belize.  

6.  Shooter #1 (not Patsy #1/#2)...was in a separate building....has US military experience, and has some face-to-face time with middle-guy #1.  He is probably a CIA asset in some way....although NOT working for the agency or paid a regular salary.  This guy is probably damaged goods at this point, and also thinking of moving to Belize.  

Finally, there's not going to be a second opportunity this year.  All of the players who were behind this (figure at least thirty individuals who know some or all of the event)....are facing an entirely different public view than existed in 1963/1964/1965.  Even the CNN connection here....will have some heart-attack or some type of life-end event.
