Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

RFK Jr. announced that soon Donald Trump plans to buy a million bitcoin as part of a national strategic reserve and applauds and seconds this initiative. I too applaud it as long as the government doesn’t try to centralize bitcoin in any way… Analysis true!… There once was a mantra in journalism of “follow the money” and it has been reported recently that Kamala Harris was able to raise $100 million in a single day. Well? Where did this money come from? We were told that much of it came from first time donors but are you buying that? Where is the “Twitter-files” type expose about where the bulk of that money came from… The NBA announce new $77 billion 11-year TV deal with partners ESPN, NBC, and Amazon shutting out long time partner TNT which will not go without a fight and is threatening to sue. The new deal is supposed to start for the 2025-26 season. Get your popcorn ready… Where do we find such men?… The Navy Seals who were fired for rejecting the Covid jab mandate on religious and medical grounds won a major lawsuit against the Biden Administration and must be reinstated. Great! Now where are the criminal charges for those who purposeful instituted this illegal mandate?… Think if your source for news didn't cover the violent, flag burning, pro-Palestine protest in DC it may be time to get a new source for news... My mind often misreads the phrase “collision course” in a business related article as “collusion course” and I wonder if my mind is actually right to begin with… As an aside I recently watched the 2022 Chris Pine movie The Contractor about a special forces vet who took drugs in order to physically remain in the armed service but was drummed out because of it. Underrated movie and think it is actually relevant to the current situation… Kind of hidden in the new $77 billion NBA TV deal is a $2.2 billion carve out for the WNBA which includes many of the WNBA playoff games being carried by Disney. Part of me chuckles at Disney for the M-She-U behavior we’ve come to expect and part worries that this may be a play by Disney to be included in any bundle by saying, “See we have sports too!” No - you have the WNBA. No thanks…
