What'll Happen To The 44 4-Star US Generals/Admirals?

 In about two months, this chatter will start up.  Gazing at my crystal ball....I'm predicting four things:

1.  Massive downsizing of troops in Europe....where there will be one single 3-star general, and one single 1-star admiral.

2.  From the remaining situation....about half of the four-star positions will either drop to a 2-star position or be eliminated entirely.

3.  You see forty of the current 4-star folks gone by June...retired.

4.  For a bunch of Lt Col's and Col's, who were on some path....dreaming of a 4-star ending....it's a crushing emotion, and they all start to rethink things after their 20th year....exiting/retiring.  

The Blunt Truth

 This week....a bunch of DC gov't workers have come out and said they may be quitting because they can't handle the approaching Trump situation.

I pondered over this....having been a gov't employee (GS, 3.5 years) and lived in DC.  I will admit....probably 70-percent of the people I worked around....were left in terms of their political beliefs.

I could see these people, after making the quitting-chatter....going to their accountant/finance wiz....then having this pitiful talk.

If you were a year or two away from age 55....you might have some window to retire via your TSP (gov't IRA).  But you'd be warned....if you need a year....just shut up and work through a year.  Same for those who need two years.....just shut up.

Then the accountant will figure up your car loan and home mortgage amount....telling you that quitting means you need to find a job of equal value....then grinning while telling you the job-market is crap, and you'd have to accept a 30 to 40 percent cut in pay.

Yeah, all those numbers the Biden-team talked about for four years....were crap.

Even if you changed your attitude and just tried to stick it out....there's a pretty good chance that Elon's team will eliminate your job.  The accountant then figures....your savings with state unemployment money....will last you four months at best.  Dipping into the TSP/IRA?  That just creates a bigger problem in five years.

So 'Joe' goes home....opens up a bottle of whiskey and talks with the wife.  Massive desperation starts to set in.

'Wanda' (the 17-year-old daughter who was supposed to  be going to the University of Oregon in August, requiring $38,000 out of your savings for the first year)....steps into the room.  You alert her that this Oregon adventure is crap and  not possible....she might have to accept the crappy University of Maryland.

The wife is disgruntled because that 2-week cruise to the Med....is in jeopardy.  She calls her dad....also a gov't employee.....only to discover that he's drinking whiskey as well, and planning an exit to Panama by March.

Across DC presently, I would imagine more than 100,000 folks in turmoil and preparing to sell their homes as quickly as possible.

Who would want to hire a forced-out gov't employee?  Well....once you state a salary that is only 60-percent of  what they made before.....they will feel insulted.

Suicides popping up?  Oh yeah....between now and Christmas....I would guess more than a hundred GS employees reach that level of desperation.

Even if you are around 55 and can retire early....you are talking about a lesser income situation.  You won't be staying in DC....because of the cost factor.  Accepting some move to Arkansas or Alabama....to cut cost?

For the remainder of their lives...these are people who will talk non-stop....day-after-day....of the terrible wrongs done to them, and how valuable they were for 20 years of gov't service.  

Five Humble Thoughts

 1.  I read this AM....the View (the TV show) management people are discussing an emergency change to the ABC show.  They say....some 'voices' that are pro-Trump are now required.  

The way it was said.....at least two of the current ladies are gone, and I would  imagine the most extreme views will be the ones dismissed.  

How this would work?  Unknown.  Trans-ladies possible in the mix...who are pro-Trump?  Well....maybe.

2.  Some kind  of 9-11 style attack was prevented in Texas....by the FBI, yesterday.

I'm shocked that the FBI had time to do real work.

3.  Just odd....all these DC-insiders racing to MSNBC and CNN to hype negative chatter on Trump's selections.

4.  I went out and bought roughly 60 shares of NANC stock yesterday.  This is a ETF which captures Nancy Pelosi's trading trends....what she buys....they buy.  What she sells....they sell.  Since early 2024....30-percent gain.

Nancy says she's running in November 2026.  Maybe I should triple my stock  investment situation?

5.  I hate to say it....but the more Senator John Fetterman speaks....the more 'normal' he seems....almost conservative in nature.

Five Things I'd Bet One-Thousand Dollars On

 1.  Within 90 days of President Trump's arrival.....former President Obama's house is raided on fed-charges.

2.  Serious banking failure start to be announced by 1 Feb 2025, and over 100 banks are in a failed status by the end of March 2025.....mostly due to the commercial property loan failures.

3.  At least forty FBI/CIA officials quickly retire by mid-January and relocate outside of the US.

4.  At least 500 names are released on the Epstein island list. 

5.  At least 100 suicides are reported in the first half of 2025....relating to Diddy-parties.   

Note: Something I'd bet $10 on: for the J6 business in 2021....I suspect this Crooks guy (the Trump-shooter) was in DC on that day.  It would be interesting to match his cellphone number up and see if it shows up on DC traffic for that day.

What I See Happening To The CIA

 As Trump arrives....I'll predict 5 things:

1.  Of the top fifty executives within the agency......all of them are retired or dismissed.

2.  I think once the JFK files are released.....a whole lot of explaining will have to occur with the news media, and past performance of the CIA bosses.

3.  ALL names of the Epstein files will be released by mid-summer.   Why the CIA held  names?  That will be a long, long discussion....with Epstein figured to be a contracted guy for the CIA.

4.  The J6 pipe-bomb 'guy/gal' will lead back to the CIA.  It'll be either a rogue agent, or a contracted person.  

5.  Some revisions of 9/11 will occur, and lead back to the CIA.  This will trigger 2026 House hearings.  

Five Predictions By February 2025

 1.  A wave of more than 300,000 migrants (currently in the US)....stage a walk to cross the border into Canada....creating a national emergency for the Canadian gov't to handle.

2.  More than 1,000 FBI agents give notice to leave their jobs (none having enough time for retirement to kick in).  News groups try to suggest that the FBI is spiraling out of control.  Within four weeks....it's determined that 900 of the billets/positions...will not be re-filled (they will just end).

3.  The Secret Service is now divided....one division to protect current members of the gov't and the President....the new second division to protect past members.  

4.  FEMA is under investigation, with more than 200 members trying to retire quickly and avoid charges of corruption.

5.  Cuba is suddenly pro-Trump, with  US relations finally taking off.  

My Bitburg Story

 Over the past week, I've observed a lot of Tik Tok videos....suggesting various women are frustrated about the vote, and saying that they won't  conduct relationships with guys....in order to 'punish' them for voting wrongly.  

So I'm going to tell you a story.

In the early 1990s....I was transferred to Bitburg Air Base, Germany.  It was a unique region, and highly rural.  Lot of farmers in the local population.

In the 1960s and 1970s....it was painfully obvious that male farmers in the area weren't really getting options on female 'mates'.  This was mostly because the farming lifestyle was viewed as a negative.  So you had a fair sum of men in their 30s/40s....who were still single.

At some point in the 1970s....these guys went off on a yearly vacation, and started to choose Thailand.  They'd go and spend two to three weeks.  They'd end up meeting some Thai gal....some in their  20s...some in their 30s, and relationships would occur.  The German farmer-guy would return six months later, and end up marrying her.  German green-card would occur, and she'd resettle back on the farm  at Bitburg.

A year later....she'd introduce her male farmer neighbor to some sister, cousin or friend.  A trend started up. By the late 80s....there  were probably forty Thai wives in the region.

A co-worker lived in a farming village outside of Bitburg, and engaged in  conversation with a Thai gal on this trend.  The Thai gal remarked....things were fine except a lot of animosity from German women in the local area.  

Yeah, there was frustration about how Thai women became the substitution solution. 

Looking at these TikTok women....I suspect in three years....you start to notice a trend....where Asian women, South American women and Russian women are the substitution solution.  The  angry anti-Trump women?  Well.....they can find a few  Harris-lefty-voter-guys, but there's a limit here.
