Zoomers Punk Boomers

I admit it.

Sometimes I just post something because I thought of a cute title. While this could be about almost anything, it is about the humongous rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Turns out it wasn't very big at all. The younger folks registered for free tickets with no intent of going at all. That surprised the older folks who were putting on this gig. While the older folks said there would be one million people, estimates say there were around 6,200 people in the BOK Center for the rally.

Ooohhh. Disappointing.

But even if there was some zoomer punking going on, does that explain everything about the poor turnout? Maybe not. Consider this. You are a person. You sign up for a ticket or two. You hear that the BOK Center has 19,199 seats and you hear that one million people have tickets.

You realize that your ticket means nothing. The chances of you getting into BOK Center are pretty slim.Why spend all that time and money traveling to Tulsa only to stand around in the street - blocks away from the event venue?

How many other people wondered and then realized the same thing?

So, basically anyone and everyone can get tickets but no one can get in. Okay, a few special chosen ones who left behind their job and house and came days early to camp out on a sidewalk manage to get in. I can see that scenario having a sort of domino effect. Anyone and everyone gets tickets and lots of boomers decide it is not worth the trouble of going.

Maybe if the planners had a larger venue and stopped giving out tickets when the place was full, then they could fill up a stadium or music house or convention center.

Now we have to wonder if that main boomer ended up punking all the other boomers. And the zoomers get the last laugh.

Juneteenth

Today is Juneteenth.

Did you know that? I did. Every year there is news in the newspapers and on the TV machine about local celebrations and also celebrations in some of the larger cities around the US of A.

There is a person who seems not to have known much about it and now he says he made it famous. Funny thing though, it was famous before he talked about it. (I think you know who I am talking about. Yes, it's Donald Trump.)

For example, San Francisco is hosting its 70th Juneteenth celebration this year. Did Donald Trump make it famous 70 years ago when he was just a tiny kid? Me thinks not.

Something else related to that. Here is what Kayleigh McEnany said at the press briefing about Juneteenth.

"And as to Juneteenth, there were a lot of people who didn't know what Juneteenth was, and Google search has proved that. And you can see I looked at the chart on Google searches on Juneteenth - and this year, they went like this. (Motions upward.) And that's thanks to President Trump."

I do not think that the number of Google searches proves anything like that at all.

Think of all the searches on Donald Trump on Google. I don't know how many there are, but I would assume there could be as many as 100, maybe even 1000 searches about him. Does that mean that no one knows who Donald Trump is because now there are a lot of Google searches about him?

These are confusing times we are living in. Thanks to Donald Trump and his administration for helping in that effort.
