Yep. First afternoon of the new year, and we already are discovering interesting stuff. The table above is one thqat we emphtically deny knowing anything about, except for vince Foster, whose grave we used to run by on physical Training. We got started on retraining for the staff based on the memo from Legal. We have offered seed oney for a stature on the other side of the river. There is now a “figure 4″ at the end of the annual number that is just now giving a aa glimse of some of the things to come. Last year the government announced that it would devote scads of their emergency funds to do some real important things. We carefully corrected the erroneous ‘3” to a more stately ‘4.’ It seemed rounder somehow. The Old Year just didn’t seem to have enough softness in it, what with armed terrorists swooping into music venues in Israel, hundreds of miles of tunnels beneath Gaza. Both sides appear eager to get on with things, whatever those might be.

We have talked -briefly- about the swarm of stories regarding the former First Family and their business deals around the world. There was more, of course and at least part of it suggests the US Intelligence Community decided ‘on it’s own’ to defer investigations in several cases until the statute of limitations expired without action. Considering the IC recently extended the seals places on hundreds of JFK assassination until the 2080s or something. nothing unusual. Of course, nothing to see here, just move along. Except some of the old secrecy is failing, like the recent revelation that the Motorcade limousine’s windshield was immediately removed by law enforcement, almost like they were trying conceal the fact that there were shooters ahead and behind the slowly moving vehicle. Two bullets being present at Dealy Plaza is something we have talked about for years, and no one in authority has explained the contradiction with the Warren Report’s “magic bullet” that bounced laterally and forward without a dent and was present and pristine on the President’s stretcher.

There is a lot to talk about which we won’t. We have no “new news” on something that happened sixty years ago and which still periodically erupts with some minor confusion. There may be some nugget in the withheld materiaI that will produce another do not know if there were two bullets for JFK The idea that this level of corruption- in Millions of dollars cash- went from an overseas rival state to the Oval Office while is something We have tried to explain the process succinctly. The Salts have all been in the business long enough t be- on a techncality of time-in grade- “senior officers” in that administration. We all know that Lyndon Johnson and Richard Daly cooked their own election. It is only the degree of cooking that was required. We think those reports are probably stored safely with those to be released only after all of us who after all of participants and watchers from 2083 release day.

There was some laughter at lunch this morning, focusing a bit on the strange stuff that has brought us here.massive summer riots, fiirst in Detroit in 1967 and across the nation in the summer of 1968. The Chicago riots that followed to entertain the Convention affairs just made it all fun- bombs built in brownstones or the capitol… As is customary, we thought we were prepared to confront this year. Sadly, things appear to be picking up a little speed. It is too close to the election. We took a private poll out by the steps down to the parking lot. A lot of us agreed that we are tired of the two candidates being reported as the top of their potential party ticket.’ We have already had the chance to vote fr or against both, and frankly would like to see someone step up to the Speaker’s Rostrum and kick some legislative butt.

We don’t know anything about what really happened in the 2020 election. ‘the reason we are so adamant that it was crooked was that it was done all out in the open. I was preparing for bed tht evening in 2016. I was a bit leery about the outsider who ws running, but his somewhat rakish remarks and perfectly reasonable desire to make America something or other. it is easier to listen to both, fugire out who is lying loudest and go from there. Oh, slogans are fun. Generally speaking though, we consider the inversion of old racial anthems to target our kids for active discrimination. We had demonstrated that tactic was illegal while Doctor King was writing a note from the Birmingham jail.

There is another and significant faction in the circle who thinks the cat-not our cat- had been let out of a bag at the get-go. Naturally. Their opinion is not ours and we stand with (and behind) all authorities empowered by the UCMJ too keep a sharp lookout for mischief. Here, the reports of multiple States- key states for the electoral count. We heard the reports when you did, sighed, went to bed and awoke to qn entirely different sort o Chief Executive. So, there was a certain unease that turned into downright suspicion when Fox declared Arizona for the Biden camp. The polls were not actually closed yet and counting had not even yet begun.

So, all the rest of it- overflowing toilets, mystery boxes appearing in Semi-trunks from out of state, the human “mule teams” who systematically fed uncontrolled ballots into the machines and that sort of thing. The justification for all this included states who had never before sent absentee ballots out to everyone in their states. Some jurisdictions reported signifiantly more ballots received than there were registered voters.

We have mostly accepted the election happened. Observers said some of it was natural, but because of the multitude changes to election process never before attempted due to the unknown complexities whatever that Covid thing was. Like everything else in this circus of electoral fun the timing of the delays, the semis full of paper and all sorts of other curious things. This is not. late ttempt to rush into the public forum shouting that there may have been some misconduct in the process. It could have been a series of inadvertent mistakes, like the one that produced a record 11 million more voters than Mr. Obama. Or the other guy who they say lost, whose suit to the SCOTUS was declined due to ‘lack of standing.’ That s the same thing the Court told Texas, America’s second largest state and for whom the results directly impact every citizen.

So we have that. The agreed position is that the 2020 Election was free, fair and unafraid. Oh, below is one of the versions of what it takes to do well in Washington. of course, some of the tin foil hats have some sensational oddities in some of them.

The count of Sec. Ron Brown’s plae was a big one, and you can see Seth Rich, suspected leaker, was killed in a roberry attempt in whch nothing was taken except Seth’s life. Due to the stakes, this is likely to be the most fun we have had sInce LBJ. if we lurch back to something that actually resembles fair elections maybe we can stagger on. If not, we could be sending some formerly respectable folks to jail.

Welcome to 2024!
