It’s a 20 questions day. In our version, we aren’t asking questions trying to narrow the possibilities in order to identify a person, place or thing, but rather just to stimulate thought.
- Did you notice how quick the usual media suspects were to jump all over Israel for allegedly blowing up the Gaza Strip hospital?
- Did you then notice how slow these usual suspects were to correct that kneejerk reporting when evidence showed it was a misguided terrorist missile the inflicted the damage?
- Is it just me, or is Zelenskyy looking a tad desperate trying to insinuate himself and Ukraine into the Israeli situation, the better to keep the tap open for U.S. funding?
- If the U.S. consumer is as strong as the questionable governmental reporting shows, why are credit card balances and delinquent payments on debt obligations of all sort rising so quickly?
- Have you noticed subtle panic, as evidenced by rising gold and silver prices and increasing interest rates on U.S. governmental debt?
- Can Penn State finally beat Ohio State in a meaningful college football game Saturday?
- If Penn State somehow gets it done against the Buckeyes, can you really expect a daily double of sorts with a win later in the season against Michigan, another conference rival that has had the number of the Nittany Lions?
- Will the pro-Palestinian protesters who occupied The Capitol Wednesday be charged with insurrection, or is that charge only applied to conservative American protesters?
- Would you be surprised to hear that a New York State lawmaker, a Democrat of course, wants background checks for prospective purchasers of — 3D printers?
- Why do Major League umpires, including the supposed cream of the crop working the postseason, consider the strike zone as defined in the rulebook as merely a suggestion, subject to their whims and alterations?
- Why doesn’t Chris Christie realize he’s a Democrat?
- Even though it looks like Houston is clawing its way back in the ALCS with Texas, does anyone give Arizona a chance of doing something similar against Philadelphia in the NLCS?
- Is it just me, or do there seem to be zero great teams in the NFL this year, just a small contingent of good teams and a lot of suspect challengers?
- If, as reported, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is looking to ban menthol flavored cigarettes, can banning menthol cough drops be far behind?
- What about Vicks VapoRub?
- Why can’t Hillary Clinton just fade quietly into the background?
- Would you believe the Biden-Harris campaign created an account on Trump’s Truth Social media platform and quickly had more followers (24,000) than the Trump campaign (21,000) has on the site?
- Would you agree that statistic is largely insignificant since Trump’s personal account on Truth Social has something like 6.44 million followers?
- Are you surprised to learn that the 10 most dangerous towns of 25,000 population or higher in the U.S., as compiled on separate and differing lists by MoneyGeek and Neighborhood Scout, all have Democratic mayors?
- Is it wrong to suggest that, in view of the pathetic performance of Congress, due to failings of both major political parties, having no Speaker of the House and a consequent inability to get things done might be better for all of us?
