Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Have to wonder if the delay in releasing the Epstein client list was so the Trump Administration could line up viable candidates to oppose any politicians named on the list for the next election. Being named to this list should be a death blow to any politician's career... Good - they made their choices... OK I'll say it! Elon Musk is a genius but he's really not a good public speaker... Think I may know who General Flynn means. Get your popcorn ready... So it begins. The EPA reportedly is going to cut 12.000 jobs. This coincides with Donald Trump telling people he wants a significant government reduction by March 13th. The modern Ides of March... It has been widely reported that the Democratic Party is dead but I'm old enough to remember when George H.W. Bush was around 90% in the polls then ended up losing to Bill Clinton in the 1992 election. Also realistic enough to realize that if Trump does get voter ID and paper ballots as the law of the land then maybe the DNC is doomed... RFK Jr. paused a $240 million contract for a new Covid vaccine. How soon before this contract is cancelled outright? This would have been a big deal in any other administration but just another day in Trump world... The solution was starting them in the face... Now it comes out that USAID reportedly paid Time $4 million to name Zelensky "Person of the Year." That was done with our tax dollars. No wonder Trump reportedly ends 10,000 foreign aid projects... Patriots owner Robert Kraft just got rated a "D" and is 29/32 among NFL owners. His Hall of Fame argument just took a huge hit... Will be interesting to watch if terrorist attacks greatly decrease with the change from the Biden Administration and the defunding of USAID. Seriously watch these numbers are they are unlikely to be reported in the MSM... Credit where credit is due... True story: my girlfriend and I actually walked out on the movie Wicked. My girlfriend because she read the book and the movie was nothing like the book and I was happy to walk out because the movie is a musical and I was only going in the first place to make my girlfriend happy... Learn something new every day... Think if Trump authorized DOGE to audit anyone named to the Epstein client list it would poll very favorably... Have to wonder how much free advertising Stake and Shake got for being the first national fast food place to move back to beef tallow fries. Smart move by them...

"Robert Kraft just got rated a "D" and is 29/32 among NFL owners"
These surveys are a fraud and shouldn't be trusted or tolerated, just like 'ranking' school systems. By the reports very construction, the people on the bottom of the list - regardless of actual quality- are seen as lesser or deficient. And it seems like a lot of the things the teams are being judged on are just bribes to the players and circumventions of the salary cap.
Some teams are terrible because they don't give free day care? To MILLIONAIRES? Bullshit.
Inevitably, once a single team gets conned into given out a perk or benefit, it spreads through the rest of the league because of pressure generated by these crap reports.
It's the same ridiculous vanity rider inflation that movie stars are prone to - i MUST have my own trailer, and it has to be doublewide, and solar powered because I care so much, and fill the septic system with Evian because it smells better. And once a studio gives in to Julia Roberts, every new face on the block askes for even more.
Actors and athletes at the professional level are spoiled children. It needs to stop.
Bush the first lost in 1992, and not because Clinton was a better candidate, but rather that God Damned egomaniac Perot split the votes across the country worse than any third party since (that other fucking egomaniac) Teddy Roosevelt - with similarly evil results (racist Commie Wilson). Bush (both of them) were evil deep state plants, but in hindsight he'd have spared us the career of Hillary! and her murder spree if he'd taken Perot seriously and coopted his positions.
