Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Nobody can complain with a straight face anyone Donald Trump may put up for a Presidential Medal of Freedom, pardon, or nominate to his cabinet. Not after the abominations Joe Biden put forth that they just went along with like sheep. The Biden Administration isn't even bothering to hide their corruption anymore... Many have said that Barack Obama made it legal for the government to use propaganda on the American people with his Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012. Smith-Mundt was originally passed in 1948 and prohibited the government from using "information" meant for foreign governments (meaning lies or propaganda) on US citizens. Defenders of Obama will say the word propaganda was not included in this revision but we're talking about a Party that claims not to know how to define what a "woman" is. Are they now saying "information" has a very clear, narrow definition? Time to go back to the original intent of the Smith-Mundt Act... Reportedly Greenland is now seeking independence from Denmark in response to comments from Donald Trump about the US buying it. Not sure if this would make a purchase easier or harder. Reminder it takes more votes to become the Mayor of Worcester, MA than the Prime Minister of Greenland... We need a new phrase to describe college intellectuals instead of living in "ivory towers" simply because ivory towers no longer exist (if they ever really did). Been to a lot of campuses and never saw a single ivory tower and ivory itself has become a banned verboten material... Progress in the 21st century. This is the best time ever to be alive... Another cool use of AI - superimpose Donald Trump's face on Neo from The Matrix in the scene where Neo is dodging bullets in bullet time with shots fired from Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer... John Bolton would be a ratings or circulation nightmare for anyone who hires him. Just saying... Three questions from Thomas Sowell everyone should memorize... Allstate stock since the CEO's address at the Sugar Bowl is down $5 in 5 days. Go woke go broke... Did we ever learn why Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was in the ICU without reporting his absence to the White House or how much Fani Willis invoiced the Biden Administration for prosecuting Donald Trump? Both things actually happened in 2024...

Yes, but it took some time to get through the list of weirdness. Worchester, Haverhill (where I lived), etc.
College intellectuals: How about gilded pansies? I thought of another one beginning with "p" but that's not of the flower family.
Dr. Sowell: I know his three questions are at least a decade old but they are just as important and useful today. Thanks for the reminder. I think unfortunately he has probably done his last writing as his last book was 4 years ago and I don't see any recent published papers of recent.
