Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Kamala Harris has the worst rating of any sitting VP in NBC's history of doing polls. This includes Dan Quayle who the media crucified but who looks like a Rhodes scholar compared to Harris. Still think the DNC intends to let her remain?... It's amazing that the US has "donated" close to $50 billion to the Ukraine which is almost 10-times our closest ally. And we don't have $5 billion to build a wall on the Southern border? This will be a big campaign issue in the 2024 election... Yale tour guide proudly today, "You know we're less than 40% white." In 10-years when Yale is no longer a top college, tour guide "Well you know we're less than 40% white." Actions have consequences... It is widely believed that Albert Einstein invented the thought experiment that two people would have different viewpoints of time and movement but such a belief was widely held among astronomers in the mid-1800's... Little known fact but with LSU winning the college world series its time to remind people that Holy Cross was the first and still the only team from the Northeast to win the CWS. Go Crusaders!.. Just saying but two of Winston Churchill's first political speeches were on how wrong forced vaccinations were and how he was for free trade. He'd fit in perfectly with my world view today... Word of the day is "purpurine." Meaning "purple complexioned." I love when not even spellcheck recognizes the word of the day... Not sure how any Boston Bruins fan could be against resigning Milan Lucic. Looking forward to his first fight and goal... Whatever happened to The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection? This was the sequel to The Passion of the Christ and was originally scheduled for a 2021 release but is now listed as being in pre-production... Sad to hear about Ryan Mallett's death at just 35-years old. Sad. There are no words... In 1869 Harvard University realized it was on the brink of becoming irreverent along with the rest of the Ivy League so it named Charles William Elliot as President marking a stark departure from philosophy to science. Wonder if Harvard, Yale, or any of the Ivy's are capable of making such a move today?... Still waiting for Elon Musk to release the Twitter files on all the child pornography that was going on at Twitter before he bought the platform. Particularly want to know the names of the people working at legacy corporate media outlets or politicians who were regulars. Musk may be already working on such an expose but with the CNN producer John Griffin getting sentenced to almost two decades for child porn it makes the expose that much more needed... So if I order my Kennedy 2024 sweatshirt and my red MAGA hat - I'll be all set for my Halloween costume...
