Friday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Kamala Harris finally sat down for an interview with CNN but she only did so with VP nominee Tim Watlz by her side. Even in a taped interview she couldn’t square the circle of if Bidenomics is working why isn’t she running on any of those policies and why the need to promise to fix things. She’s scarily ignorant… Donald Trump reportedly warns that Mark Zuckerberg could spend the rest of his life in jail if Meta interferes in the 2024 election the way they admittedly did in 2020. This makes even more sense as a real threat when you consider that Kamala Harris's deputy campaign manager, Rob Flaherty, was also the White House person responsible for enforcing Facebook's censorship in the 2020 election... Barack Obama's support for Jennifer Granholm over Kamala Harris maybe because of Granholm's moral flexibility is starting to make more sense... Bill Belichick continues to be a topic of conversation. Whether its his robust upcoming media schedule and his talking about and dissecting NFL games or it is his mere unemployed availability looming over many NFL camps and coaches. One thing that that should be remembered is that the guy is already very rich and has the time and money to do just what he wants (which includes talking about football and dating 24-year old's)... Admit that I'm somewhat surprised by the vigor in which RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have supported each other's efforts in campaigning for Trump. They're like a secret power unlocked... I second the notion that the two old guys in the balcony from The Muppet Show should have their own account on X where they sarcastically skewer things... Lex Friedman announced that he'll be interviewing Donald Trump. This should be his most viewed or listened to podcast ever but what I’m wondering is what platform will benefit most from it... It should also be considered that with Belichick's various media jobs this year there will be plenty of opportunities for him to address any of the so-called concerns over hiring him. That’s bound to also make him more attractive to teams... Not only does it look like Donald Trump will win the election in November but down-ticket it looks like Republicans are poised to take control of all three Houses of government. Don't get cocky... Somehow big “news” that Jacoby Brissett “beat” Drake Maye for the starting QB job in New England. Brissett was signed exactly for that purpose and the plan always was to bring Maye along slowly so that he gets some seasoning, understand what’s needed in the NFL, and not risk his life (or confidence) behind an awful O-line for the Patriots. Nobody paying attention was surprised by this…
