\#1. Hunter College in New York is suing Lisa S. Palmer for basically being a "Squatter." She enrolled in 2016 but dropped out shortly after moving into a dorm. She has stayed in the dorm ever since refusing to move out. The college has served eviction notices and might even asked politely to move out but to no avail. Lisa says she will fight the lawsuit. She may be claiming a constitutional right to "squat." It appears that no one at this citadel of higher learning thought to throw her stuff out and change the locks.

I was taken aback and visibly shaken to learn that Harley Davidson plans to market an electric motorcycle in 18 months. Now I can accept electric cars, leaf blowers and weed whackers but an electric Harley? Please. Harley's have a sound unlike any other motorcycle. An electric Harley might just hum. Hopefully, Harley would consider recording the sound of a "real" Harley, install a cd player and speakers on the electric wussycycle so it would sound like a Harley is supposed to sound.

 #3. Mack Beggs a Transgender male recently won the Texas High School Girls Wrestling Championship for the second year. The rule says you compete as the gender on your birth certificate. Due to testosterone steroids, Mack is getting bigger and stronger. Years ago East German women were doing basically the same thing and were thrown out of the Olympics.

 #4. Peter Navarro, the director of the White House Trade Council called some reactions to President Trump's announced Steel and Aluminum tariffs as the "biggest bunch of horse-puckey you can imagine. "Horse-puckey" fell out of usage and its return is sure welcome. Now days there are endless things said and comments made that calling them "horse-puckey" is right on target. It's great to have "horse-puckey" back.

 #5. In a recent interview, Joaquin Phoenix said, "I don't want anyone to see my movies." I didn't check any further to see why he doesn't want anyone to see his movies. Maybe I should have. It might have been interesting. Here's a thought. If Joaquin gets his wish that people don't see his movies and they don't, it won't be long before he won't be making any.
