Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Today is the day many NFL fans (even those who watched the draft) will read about the player their team got and how he helps fill some need. Queue the meme of the guy saying, “Last week I was an expert on tariffs. Now I’m an expert on the NFL Draft”… Glenn Greenwald makes an excellent point that some of the delay and redactions may be connected to Jeffrey Epstein working with a foreign intelligence agency and the Trump Administration trying to unravel that. This the delay and redactions may also have to do with some of the big names on the client list and the DOJ wanting all their ducks in a row to prosecute before the list is made public... This could be a campaign commercial. JD Vance could easily be saying you are either with us and the rule of law or your with open borders and activist judges. Vote accordingly... Am I the last to know that Capitol One wants to acquire Discover? The deal has been approved and will probably happen. Not sure how I feel about this (though I do have a couple Capitol One cards)... He's not wrong... May be in the minority on this but think if the supply chain on any good is adversely affected by the tariffs on China it's a sure sign that either you shouldn't be purchasing that product to begin with or that the good should be manufactured in US instead... A little NFL Draft humor… Don't watch reality TV shows but I think I would if they made one about Justin Bieber and Britney Spears dating and living together. That would be like trying to turn away from a train wreck... The DOGE clock is now over $350 billion in savings... Agree that colleges and universities should not only disclose how many foreign students are paying tuition but also the make-up of the student body (males and females). The number of the opposite sex is an important factor to many people... Could women legally sunbath topless if they just said they're trans and identify as men?... Tulsi Gabbard in not having anyone leaking classified information. Hope this also helps expose any who may be selling classified information because they are even worse... The DoD announced that over 8,700 soldiers who refused the Covid jab are being reinstated to service. All with back pay... Still say that Scott Bessent is emerging as the unexpected media superstar of the Trump Administration... Fear, Dementia, and Graft would be a good name for an X or Substack account about politics…
