Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Today is the NFL Conference championships and I wouldn't be surprised if the AFC sent a team other than the Chiefs to the Super Bowl this year. Think word has come down from NFL headquarters that the refs bending over backwards to protect Patrick Mahomes has become a national joke and has to end. Look for those refs to maybe go overboard in giving Buffalo the benefit of the doubt which could be all the difference... Congrats to Kristi Noem for getting confirmed to be the new Homeland Security head... As expected the 49ers re-hired Robert Saleh as DC. Something about water finding its level... This is one way to put it... There's been a number of calls to grant Edward Snowden a pardon, most famously from Thomas Massie. Don't know the facts enough to have a position but if someone from the left like Glenn Greenwald and someone from the right like Massie are both advocating for it - there must be merit to the idea... Keep thinking about how Ted Cruz has said that one of the things that go along with accepting a Presidential pardon is the fact that if you’re subpoenaed you have to testify. There’s no pleading the 5th Amendment since there’s no longer a threat of prosecution - you’ve already been pardoned. That means a Hunter Biden or Antony Fauci have to testify and tell the truth or be charged with perjury or obstruction. Get the popcorn out!… Amazing no matter how many times you see it... Now we get reports that the Trump Administration has located between 75,000 to 80,000 of the missing 300,000 immigrant children from the border. Finding these children will lead to major human trafficking arrests and untold horror stories. The Biden Administration was just letting this happen… Like most Americans Joe Rogan seems “red-pilled” or mugged by reality. He started out supporting Libertarian Gary Johnson (I voted for him too), then his candidate of choice was Tulsi Gabbard (until she was kicked out of the race) only to support Bernie Sanders (who was also then kicked out of the race). Now he’s big fans of both Donald Trump and JD Vance. It’s like a reflection of America at the moment… The planetary parade took place yesterday… Like the description of the left as “shrill and hysterical” because that’s what they’ve been. Finally people get to say “shut up already!” or just tune them out like the rantings of spoiled children… Today would have been icon Paul Newman’s 100th birthday. Think he was wildly underappreciated for how great and actor and a human being he was…
