Monday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
To nobody's surprise Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden before leaving office as President. Really is anyone surprised? This was the plan all along... A Wallace and Grommit Christmas short... Donald Trump has named Kash Patel to be the new Director of the FBI. Patel has called for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein "black book" on day one. Think this is great because not only should that list be public but because speculation will automatically be on any person criticizing the choice of Patel to head the FBI for being on Epstein's client list... News has emerged that Lex Friedman will be going to Ukraine to do a podcast with Volodymyr Zelensky. That could be a great opportunity to learn what is really happening in the war with Russia... Lighthouses in Norway... Critics are going to say that nobody elected Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy but that's not true - the nation did by electing Donald Trump to be President... Saddened to learn about the passing of Lou Carnesecca, aged 99. He will always be the coach of St. John's in my mind... Think the pick of JD Vance as VP (his wife is Indian) and his close friend Vivek along with Kash Patel to head the FBI may signal a closer relation with India in the near future... Old and busted - issuing press releases. New way to get word out - posting directly on X. This is the way - it is known... With the news that Andrew Luck will be the new GM of the Stanford football program comes the return of Captain Andrew Luck... Once had a business partner who was worried that in Catholic schools we were taught that Jews hated Jesus. I was not taught that but instead was taught that Jesus was Jewish. Now I wonder if his fear was misplace and he should have been worried more about the atheists’ anti-Semitism instead... With the news about Kash Patel - I immediately ordered his book Government Gangsters. Supposed to arrive tomorrow... Reality of Death would be a good name for a heavy metal cover band... Learn something new every day... Should also be noted that there's reportedly mass resignations at the FBI with the news of Kash Patel being nominated as Director. Like rats leaving a sinking ship. The speculation will be that they know they’re about to be caught... Life Advice... It's been a year since Shane McGowan of The Pogues passed. Shane lived a hard life but I still miss him...
