Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Think that any media outlet that doesn't describe Secretary of Defense Austin as being AWOL while he went to the ICU for days without informing anyone - including either the President or his next in command - is willfully lying to the public. Why does this man still have a job?... Would be amusing if MSNBC and CNN's decision not to cover Donald Trump backfired and their ratings cratered. Until they turned to Trump news for a ratings boost. Not that I care - I don't watch cable news anyway... Good question… Have to say that I do feel bad that about the 12,000 or so people who lost their jobs when Spirit Airlines folded. But if you ever had to fly the airline you'd understand - Spirit deserved to go out of business... The US DOJ decides to join the lawsuit against the NCAA on NIL but still has not done anything about the suppression or criminal acts regarding Hunter Biden's laptop. Understood... Analysis true!... Lord Chartwell in World War II felt that England should produce their own uranium either in England or at least in Canada since he felt that whoever came up with the atomic bomb first would effectively rule the world. The way it turned out - who's to say he wasn't wrong? England was way ahead of the USA at the time... Why don't people being charged with contempt of Congress simply say that they sent in their sworn deposition to the Jan 6th committee but they must have deleted it. How would they prove them wrong?... Sad to say but Sports Illustrated seems to be going the way of Spirit Airlines. They sent out a memo to employees announcing layoffs. Used to be a must read but honestly haven't picked one up in decades... Winston Churchill was so busy that he demanded that all memos sent to him be no longer than half a page in length. This was genius if you think about it... Stats that blow your mind... They’re saying that Sports Illustrated was a victim of “go woke go broke” because they put a trans on the cover of their famed swimsuit edition. While that may be true to a degree - the truth is people stopped reading the printed word about a game that happened a week or so ago long before that. People suddenly had many other outlets available to them like blogs or other online sources to read about that game - many of them free but all of them more timely. They were on their way out a long time before now…
