Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

One has to wonder if the Biden family all decided it was better to lie under oath and potentially pay those perjury costs than it would be to admit to all their wrong doings and pay those costs. Guessing the latter are the much higher prices to pay... Interesting - Fubo TV has launched a lawsuit against the combination of Disney, Fox, Warner Brothers and others alleging they're aiming at starting a sports streaming cartel. Hard to argue they're not... This timetable really spoke to me... The Patriots are viewing this NFL Draft with the 3rd overall pick the most significant since Robert Kraft bought the team more than 30-years ago. It should be noted that in 1994 when the Pats took Willie McGinest with the 4th pick none of the QB's took in that draft really panned out as well... Deviant Soccer Moms would be a good name for an all-girl band of older women... So many people have recommended the new book Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class by Rob Henderson that I've added it to my book list to read. He's also the person who coined the term "luxury beliefs" so that's another recommendation... Still say that college loans should no longer be exempt from bankruptcy laws and that the federal government would assume the liability but that colleges would have to assume the liability moving forward. That would go a long way to make sure students are getting their money's worth and not silly degrees not worth the paper their diploma is printed on... Hitler's Anus would be a good name for a punk rock band. Ladies and gentlemen put your hands together for - Hitler's Anus! (I'm going to hell for this one)... Lex Fridman says that he's excited that X is expanding its video length to 4 hours which I take as an indication he might add X as a platform for his podcasts. That would be most welcome and I always said that I wouldn't be surprised if Elon Musk is trying to get comedians to move their bits or whole specials to X and away from YouTube (owned by Google)... Google's Gemini AI is too evil to be believed. I'd never use it and hope others feel the same. I'm going to try out Phind... The Teamsters are donating $45,000 to the RNC - their first donation to Republicans since 2004. The Democratic Party has shown that college graduates and illegals are their new base and priorities. Unions seem to be left out in the cold. Biden forgiving all those student loans - who do you think are really paying for them? The mostly uneducated teamsters I'm sure as individuals know they're shouldering more than their share and will vote accordingly. Other unions should wake up to the wishes of their members as well... With a name like Hitler's Anus it has to be good... Not surprised that Judge overseeing Trump case in Georgia was found to have made a political donation to DA Fani Willis who brought the case in the first place. The judicial environment in general is very incestuous and I'm guessing they all donate to everyone. Also guessing this makes it easier for him to rule against Willis because traditionally judges want to eliminate all appearances of potential conflicts... Radical idea: each candidate for federal office is allowed to spend up to $10 million on a campaign and every dollar after that goes right to reducing the federal deficit but that candidate gets to take credit for that reduction and it becomes a challenge to their opponent... Kind of ironic that one of the deciding factors of the Civil War was the North having the preponderance of factories and now because of politics and cheap energy those same companies (especially the gun manufacturers) have moved to the Southern states. Just saying...
