One. I read this morning that Marjorie Taylor Greene said that if she or Trump were running the zoo, the Chinese would never have dared send a balloon the U.S. Did she say that, or is it fake news? I don’t know. Then I read that, in fact, the Chinese sent three balloons over the country when Trump was president. Did they do that, or is that fake news? I don’t know the answer to that, either. But let’s go further. If the Chinese sent three balloons over during Trump’s years, was he correct in letting them go across the country without interference, or should he have shot them down? Did Biden make a mistake shooting down the balloon? Did he make a mistake not shooting it down over Montana, where there really aren’t any people anyway? Why hasn’t Marjorie Taylor Greene asked whether or not the balloon was really Chinese or whether it might have been another platform for Jewish space lasers? Or has she? Was it in fact a platform for Jewish space lasers and, as such, should Biden have shot it down or not? And what if, instead of shooting it down, we had simply sent our balloons across China? And what about this green comet that everyone is talking about? Who sent it? Is it part of an alien civilization’s Green New Deal? And what does Marjorie Taylor Greene have to do with a Green New Deal, anyway. Is this just a question of the age old rivalry of Green vs. Greene? Or is it something more sinister?

Two. Enough about her. What is the College Board trying to do? By creating this AP Black History Course, they knew they would be creating controversy, right? Why did they do that? Why didn’t they simply create an AP course called The Evils of the American Government. Conservatives would have loved it and made certain assumptions about the evils that it covered. They never would have looked into the course, and the College Board could have used the same curriculum it developed for the Black History Course. As you look at it, everything that creates the need for a Black History Course can be traced to an Evil of the American Government. Oh, you think that the Conservatives would have looked at the curriculum? Maybe so – but do you think they would have said that anything in the course (slavery, lynching, Jim Crow, lack of fair hiring practices, redlining, housing discrimination, etc.) would be something that even Conservatives would want to defend and support? I don’t think so.

Three. Let’s all get excited about the Democrats deciding to let the South Carolina primary go before the Iowa caucuses. Do we really care? If so, guess what. We shouldn’t. It should be very simple. There should be one primary day, the same day in every state across the country. The primaries should not be party related, but should have everyone compete in the same primary. We should have ranked voting in the primary with the top three candidates running in the general election. We should also have ranked voting in the general election. The primaries should be the Tuesday after Labor Day, with the general election campaign limited to 8 weeks. Thank you. You heard it here first.

By the way, I have many other suggestions for the improvement of the country. All that is needed to implement them is for everyone to agree with me.
