Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Old saying that it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Kamala Harris seems to have taken that advice to heart. It explains why the candidate known for cackling and word salad won't do a press conference or a debate with Donald Trump... Never mind how the Democrats treated RFK Jr. or Tulsi Gabbard - this is how they're treating Marianne Williams... After the fed had to revise down the jobs number by almost a million think it would be amusing for someone to do a The Wire-like skit on the Biden Administration "juking the stats"... Love this Greg Maddux story... Still think if Trump is elected in November that interest rates will drop and there will be a surge of people rushing to refinance their mortgages at lower rates. That should boost the economy too... Studies show that entrepreneurship is positively correlated to higher testosterone and risk taking behavior. This may explain why so many founders seem to tend to more freedom and the Republican party. Meanwhile many high tech entrepreneurs (think the Google founders or Mark Zuckerberg) need more Beta type males as customers and thus tend to support the Democrats because of those voters... Chris Cuomo on how politics works on money... The Daunting Abyss of Rejection would be a good name for an X account that just posts rejection letters of famous artists... Bill Clinton spoke at the DNC on Wednesday and nobody seems to remember what he said but plenty are upset he was chosen to be on the stage in the first place. Juanita Broaddick repeated the highly credible charge that he raped her, people were reminded that he was pals with Jeffrey Epstein (his name is surely on that list of clients), and the death of the #MeToo movement at the hands of the Democrats once again was in the news. What good did his presence do Kamala Harris or the DNC?... JD Vance on Pete Buttigieg... Learn something new every year: NFL ratings have traditionally declined in Presidential election years. Will this year be any different?... Propaganda isn't just fake news (think of how none of the TV networks covered the revised job numbers)...
