Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Donald Trump signed an Executive Order yesterday that would end the Department of Education and send all federal education funds directly back to the states. The question is now how soon a liberal District Court judge sticks their nose into this and issues a restraining order… Elon Musk is a genius and literally the richest man in the world. A couple years ago everyone wanted to be associated with him - whether it be the MCU (see his cameo as himself in Iron Man II) or "ecologists" buying his Tesla EV's to save the planet. His rocket company SpaceX just rescued two US astronauts from the ISS while his rockets carry 90% of the world’s yearly payloads into space. Now some people want to paint him as a bad person because the Democrats are mad he's cutting off their graft. And sheeple are buying into it... The US Military funding 70% of NATO has just been an extension of the Marshall Plan by another name all along. Enough is enough... It would be funny if every Democrat that sells their Tesla to protest Elon Musk has to put a "Drill Baby Drill" bumper sticker on their new car... When Henry V’s only son (also named Henry) was born the king had the Holy Prepuce (the supposed foreskin of Christ) there to bless the occasion. Am I the only one who just finds this weird? Who keeps a foreskin from a circumcision as a memento in the first place?… X (formerly Twitter) has its valuation back up to $44 billion which is what he paid for it (or overpaid for it as many were saying). Been meaning to mention that many newscasters are now are sure to include their X handle whereas in the past they always had their Facebook address instead... A jury in North Dakota has found Greenpeace guilty of paying protestors to disrupt a pipeline and ordered them to pay over $660 million in punitive damages. Greenpeace used to be the "save the whales" people but have morphed in a fund raising company that only does stunts like this. They are evil and whatever you do - don't give them money... Do have a question - if a Tesla car is ruined by protestors and the insurance company has to buy it does that count as a new sale? Is the protestor actually helping Tesla’s bottom line?... Just finished Dan Jones excellent Henry V and the question still rages - was Henry the best king England ever had?…
