Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Make Los Angeles Great Again!… The DOJ is reportedly looking into charges against Democratic officials who doxxed ICE agents. How about charges against anyone who doxxes anyone. We just had the Director the FBI doxxed for Christ's sake... The Atlanta Fed recently raised their GDP projection from 3.8% to 4.6%. Think this is significant as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has long targeted 3% GDP growth (part of his 3,3,3 plan to balance the budget and get the economy booming)... Happened to catch by accident the movie The Double starring Richard Gere and Topher Grace and I really liked it. The movie came out in 2011 and I honestly had never heard of it so part of liking it may have come from having no expectations… Feel bad for Greta Thunberg at this point. She’s clearly not vert smart, on the spectrum, delusional, and being used as a prop by others. When I see her now I hear a sad trombone in my head and feel pity… Perhaps the reason for not releasing publicly any of the FISA applications targeting President Trump is because the DOJ does not want to bias in any way a potential jury pool if prosecutions of cases are in progress. At least I hope that's the case... Not for nothing but I was thinking perhaps the quickest way to get Northern California to secede from California might be cut off all federal funding to the state over what’s happening in LA. That’s basically how we got West Virginia… I’m a fan of Javier Milei… Mentioned this before but the name “Topher” is short for “Christopher” but while most people shorten the name to “Chris” this uses the letters that are normally discarded instead. Clever!… Steve Jobs on obsolescence in technology. He’s not wrong. Perhaps the example that immediately comes to mind is how the computer made typewriters obsolete. I had to take typing as a class in high school freshmen skills but my kids all now type better than me because they grew up with computers and texting. Likewise the advent of the automobile and car mechanics did away with most of the horse trade and blacksmiths… Been seeing the example of Hong Kong spraying blue dye using hoses on protesters so they would be easily identified for arrest later. Maybe we could do the same with the LA protesters but use black hawk helicopters? Have them play Ride of the Valkyries while they do it too…
