Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Liz Cheney Loses!

From NPR

U.S. HOUSE
2022 WYO. DISTRICT 1 GOP PRIMARY
Harriet Hageman wins. AP race call at 10:21 p.m. on Aug. 16, 2022.
Harriet Hageman R
95,649 votes 65.5%
Liz Cheney (i) R
43,541 votes 29.8%

-----------------------------------

She not only lost miserably, she's hinting loudly that she intends to run for President and even, I'm  not making this up, compared herself to Abraham Lincoln.

The media, to nobody's surprise, has been praising former VP' Dick Cheney's daughter as of this writing for many days.

Yes, the Dems and RINOs have plans for Liz Cheney.  

The common people are going to win this battle, I predict.  And we will do it via the voting booth.

New 2022 Challenger - New Dodge Challenger

Dodge will stop making gas-powered Chargers and Challengers next year, ending an era for a brand that helped define the muscle car, as it and other carmakers shift toward more climate-friendly offerings.

Stellantis, the Amsterdam-based conglomerate behind Dodge, announced Monday that the models will transition out of its lineup in 2023 with the release of seven “heritage” models, each bearing a plaque with “last call” under its hood.

-------------------------------------------

By me a car should get me where I want to go after I turn the key, and in air-conditioned comfort.  Thus while I have little knowledge of cars, I do know how telephones turned from big dialing things with curly cords to little things we carry in our pockets, watch TV on, send messages to those to whom we have no time to speak and we can send emails via our cell phones.

I am all for electric cars.   

Sure, it will take some adjusting and the argument is that driving via electricity is not much cheaper than driving via coal, i.e. gasoline.

I predict we will all have charging stations in our driveways.  We pull in , plug in the car.  The next day the car will be ready to drive,  all warm and defrosted should there be a chill in the air.

Nobody said telephones would work so well as cell phones do today.  I remember when portable phones became popular how my husband and I used to make fun of people driving down the highway as they gabbed on the phone.

Now there's few of us who live without a cell phone close by.

Soon, electric cars will be self-driving us, charging while we eat dinner, avoiding accidents, parking and maneuvering on their own.

I predict.

https://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent

About the Show

The 17th season of "America's Got Talent" returns with a new set of aspiring performers looking to compete for the ultimate $1 million prize. This season promises to deliver some of the wildest acts to ever grace the "AGT" stage.

With the show open to acts of all ages, "America's Got Talent" continues to celebrate the variety format like no other show on television. Year after year, "America's Got Talent" features a colorful array of singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists, impressionists, magicians, ventriloquists and hopeful stars, all vying to win America's hearts and a $1 million prize.

------------------------------------------------

"America's Got Talent", or "AGT", is the best collection of "talent" not just America, but the WORLD has to offer.

Indeed talent comes on from all over the world, to include acrobats, singers, dancers, magicians and comedians. .Competitive singers on AGT must reach  musical ranges that amaze.  Magicians are magnificent, comedians  are right up there.

AGT also has the most impressive  production presentation of the acts as they are performed.

I find it a most enjoyable show to watch.

Below is a link to the list of contestants this year.  As the season goes on and acts are eliminated I will be offering my  opinion as to possible winners.
