Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Team USA lost to Canada 3-2 in OT last night and I can’t be upset with the final. It was a great game and by far the best All-Star exhibition I’ve ever seen. Congrats Canada… President Trump says he's going into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is there. Doubt he'd be doing this if he was convinced that the gold's there and there's no problem. Also betting he also has a plan to unfold if the audit turns up missing gold. Release the hounds! What better way to kick off an audit of the Pentagon than with proof that the gold the Army was supposed to be guarding for the country is missing? The military won't have the high ground in this fight... News you can use... Been meaning to mention this but the Big 10 and SEC may want the college football playoffs to guarantee each of these two conferences 4 slots each in the playoffs. They are basically trying to bigfoot teams using NIL to sap their depth charts. Hope these efforts are stopped in its tracks... If the reports are true that Donald Trump is considering returning 20% of the funds recovered by DOGE to the taxpayers, taking 20% and applying it to reducing the national debt, and using the remaining savings to reduce the government's budget - that will be a wildly popular plan. Imagine getting any sort of refund from the government - not only would you turn around and spend that "found" money (further stimulating the economy) you'd also become the biggest MAGA fans going... Trump may also be planning to publicly audit Fort Knox just to set the precedent for America that if the Commander in Chief has a right to audit the gold supply who are these generals and admirals at the Pentagon to say they can’t be audited. Great excuse to fire any general or admiral who objects… Now the news is that DOGE caught Stacey Abrams trying to scam taxpayers out of $2 billion. Not Stacy Abrams! According to certain media outlets everything she says is true!... Grok 3 (beta) is being offered free to users of X for a limited time. Going to try this... Trump also issued an EO making MS-13 and Tren de Argua as terrorist organizations opening the way for drone strikes. Guessing Secretary of State Marco Rubio's travel schedule to Central America just got a lot more crowded... Some argue that the deep state is too entrenched to be gotten rid of in such a short time but reminder that any organization pretending to be an independent business is only just one missed paycheck away from going belly up. That can happen as short as two weeks and also think you may start to read about some of these companies closing their door shortly... At CPAC Elon Musk was presented by a symbolic chainsaw by Argentina’s President Javier Milei for Musk’s work at DOGE exposing government waste. Just think on how great every last part of that last sentence was. Elon Musk appeared at CPAC, Javier Milei was elected President of Argentina, and both have been wildly successful in cutting government spending. Of course that’s cool…
