Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The Supreme Court just blocked the Biden-Harris student loan forgiveness scheme. It was a unanimous ruling by the Court. I know many have been promised to have their loans forgiven but do you actually know anyone who actually did? Doesn’t all this promising and not delivering have to backfire at some point?… Someone should do a skit of Kamala Harris showing up at a Presidential debate with Tim Walz along with her so he can answer half the questions and she just cackles at the others. It writes itself... During the Great Depression "Okies" flocked to California. Would be kind of funny if Californians were now fleeing California to Oklahoma to flee the depression of high taxes... Agree with this move... Could have called this, wait I did. Elon Musk and X will unveil a video platform to rival YouTube. Look for comedians and media producers to be targeted by X first... Warren Buffett just sold another $981 million in Bank of American stock once again increasing Berkshire Hathaway’s cash on hand. This is giving me an uneasy feeling... Just asking but what political party does Chris Christy, Mitt Romney or Michael Pence join now? No self-respecting Republican would listen to any of them now... When I was a kid we learned of James Michael Curley and he was a hero for taking the civil service exam for another Irish immigrant so that person could get a good paying job. Curley was caught and went to jail for it but was still elected Mayor of Boston because he was helping others. Today's Democratic leaders only seem to want to help themselves. Makes you wonder if Curley would be a Democrat today?... This post by US Army veteran Lucas O’Hara is worth a read: Part1 - Part2... Learn something new every day: the last five people in charge of baseball operations for the Red Sox have all signed Rich Hill to a contract. Has that happened for another franchise before?... Hard to keep up with all the interviews and podcasts Trump and JD Vance are participating in. It's as if to contrast with Kamala Harris's complete lack of interviews... Another good point...
