McDonalds is loosing it
I've been eating Big Macs and fries at McD's since forever. Not so much lately. Something has gone away, the Big Mac's are dry, cooked grey straight thru, the roll is soggy, and the fixings are tasteless. The fries aren't as crisp as they used to be, and taste bland and mealy.
McD's used to be better. Burger King is in the same hole. Dunno what I am gonna do for lunch on the road. Brown bag it I guess.

No-Fly zone in Syria?
Been some loose talk about taking the heat off Aleppo by declaring a no-fly zone over the city. Keep Assad and the Russians from bombing the place.
Not a bad idea, but you gotta ask one big question. Are we willing to enforce such a no-fly zone? Which means shooting down Russian aircraft. The Turks did that a while ago and the Russians got awfully testy about it. Do we have as much guts as the Turks?
If we aren't ready to enforce a no-fly zone, it's better not to declare one. Something you learn from parenting. Never make a threat that you are not prepared to carry out.

The Donald has a lotta enemies to overcome
Enemy Number 1 is Democrats (natch). Led by Hillary, they hope they can win in November. Many of them detest Republicans on general principles, kinda like how cats feel about dogs. It's not ideology or philosophy, it's just plain hatred.
Enemy Number 2 is the MSM. Everybody in the MSM, reporters, editors, anchorpersons, janitors are Democrats. Only being in the MSM they have a really really loud megaphone to broadcast their propaganda.
Enemy Number 3 is the business establishment. They have a cozy thing going with Hillary, they have contributed to the Clinton Foundation (paid their bribes). They need favorable regulatory rulings, tax breaks, tariffs, and other crony capitalism things. They are pretty sure that Hillary will do this stuff for them, as long as they keep paying her. They have no idea what The Donald will do if elected. That's scary.
Enemy Number 4 is the RINOs. Once elected, the RINOs find they like the Democratic tax and spend policies, especially when it results in spending in their districts. They don't care about tax hikes, they figure they can blame them on the Democrats. The MSM won't call them on it, and the voters won't fact check them either.
Enemy Number 5 is all the women in the country. The Donald is a boor, they know it, and that tape last Friday confirmed it. Plus any woman has gotta like the idea of a female president.
Enemy Number 6 is academia. Every college prof, every grade school teacher, and every administrator is a democrat. They consider it their plain duty to brainwash their students, your children, with leftist drivel. You wonder why the "millennials" are so pro Hillary and anti Trump? They are coming off of 16 straight years of leftist indoctrination.
Good luck Donald. You need all possible luck.

Polls, more polls, and maybe some statistics
The TV is reporting that Clinton is up 9 % in the polls nationwide. This comes after Debate #1, the Trump tape from 11 years ago, and Debate #2. Bad news, if the polls are accurate.
My brother just got back from the great antique car show and auction in Hershey PA. The show has been the second biggest thing in Hershey, after the chocolate company, for forty years or more. He tells me the Trump signs were all over the place, not a Hillary sign to be seen. Apparently car buffs are Trump fans. Let's hope there are more of them.
The pollsters got it wrong on Brexit. They might get it wrong on the election.

How was 11 year old tape located in time?
I can see how TV networks would want to keep video of all the shows that they put on the air. But the tape that did so much damage to The Donald was an out take, not broadcast video. How come it was saved, and how did anyone find it 11 years later, just in time to do The Donald a lot of harm? How much rummaging thru dusty boxes of video tape was required? And how much viewing of aged video was done, and by who?
There is a story here. Wanna bet the MSM won't touch it with a ten foot pole? "All the news that fits, we print".

And I watched the 2nd Donald-Hillary debate
The Donald came on strong. He answered some opening questions about THAT TAPE, pretty well. He was able to move the discussion forward to some real issues, tax reform, Syria, repealing Obamacare, shutting down Obama's war on coal. He also kept up a steady stream of zingers at Hillary.
Hillary was looking strong too, did not stumble or faint or show any kind medical problem. She had a lotta zingers for The Donald.
Most of the questions sucked. The moderators were a pair of newsies from ABC and CNN who tried to help Hillary and hinder The Donald as much as they could.
I think The Donald managed to erase some of the damage done by THAT TAPE.
