A Day of Questions

This might antagonize a few of you out there...infuriate?...perhaps...but, I am going to just ask some questions...certainly, the Horse does not have the answers...but, does raise up some highly debatable things...it just seems odd that we haven't heard the 'other' side much...enough of the hype and the prefacing...

1.  Why did it seem that the Taliban retook the country of Afghanistan, without much of a fight by the 20 year government that we helped in place?...did not see vid or pix of battles...

2.  Was the sole ruling body there, defended only by the USA military?...as in question number one, the former Afghan military, and police, were nowhere to be found...not by any of the reporters there...

3.  The 20 year fight, how many of the USA Presidents washed their hands on what was apparently a fateful outcome?...the departure of the US troops, and a country without a prayer to defend itself...

4.  Is there a plan to assimilate those Afghans who make it out of the country into the USA?...early reports have many going to the state of Washington...in the Seattle and Tacoma area...hmmm....

5.  What percent of those who are coming to America have had their Covid 19 shots?...which brings a whole new piece to a very disturbing puzzle...

6.  Finally, was there an agreement that the Taliban would take over the country, a few months back?...as this might be a truth, due to the lack of true battles...

Gosh, there are more queries out there...but those were the ones that came to me mind...some other Q's in other areas follow...

7.  How can the pro athletes demand and get such high paid salaries in this day and age?...the rich must have so much, that they can do whatever...and spend whatever...to fulfill their selfishness, and win a championship trophy...

8.  Is it a smart move to fly across the US in an airplane right now?...with the lack of masking and vaccinations that some people do NOT do...the Delta variant is out of control...

9.  Equally as questionable, to send a child to school...knowing that many are coming from families that have not vaccinated...is there, or should there be a mandate?...

10.  This is redundant, I know...but, how can a GM (AJ) get so much notoriety, yet stock his team with such inferior pitching?...no lead is safe...

11.  Did you know, or do you remember that...Elvis Presley...died at the age of FORTY TWO?...42...he was just a kid...

12.  In his last chance before being an analyst...Tim Tebow, has been cut by the Jax NFL team...is enough enough?...

13.  Does anyone still use a #2 pencil?...well, it is National #2 Pencil Day, anyway...hated 'em...opted for the mechanical ones...loved the sharp lead...probably had 100 of them over my lifetime...

14.  My last Q for the day...how does Alexa know it's me asking the question?...
