Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations,

Make no mistake there is no difference between a no vote on RFK Jr. and a pro child trafficking vote at this point. Be sure to take note of the names of all the no votes. Any of those names that also appear on Epstein's client list or Diddy's party list deserve tar and feathers... The Trump Administration stopping all loans and grants to NGO’s may have been a brilliant move. They got 22 state AG's to sue to stop this move and all the programs that may be affected for these 22 may be a good place to start to decide which are actually furthering American ideals (education on reservations seems a no-brainer). All the ones that didn't have a defender - just go ahead and cut those... Senator Mike Lee proposes issuing letters of marque like those issued in the past to privateers to now go after drug cartels. Like this idea and the fact that it was long ago proposed by Jonah Goldberg before he self-immolated with terminal TDS. Can just hear Goldberg screaming into the void "I had the idea first" but nobody hearing him because his audience is long gone... There was so many topics to cover yesterday didn't have time to note that Patriots' Drake Maye was added to the Pro Bowl as QB. I will also continue to ignore the parallels to Mac Jones that also continue... Honest question: could President Trump sign an Executive Order saying part of the means to refill the strategic reserve would be any oil seized on Iranian ghost ships trying to avoid US sanctions. We could also seize those ships carrying that oil and auction them off and put those proceeds toward reducing the national debt... Reminder that I'll almost never respond to proposed trades or mock drafts. I'll react if the trade actually happens or after the actual draft thank you. It's a waste of time to deal with hypothetical news... The Trump Administration ended a Biden program providing $50 million for condoms in Gaza. You can't make some of this shit up... Since the founding of the European Union the EU has basically grown at half the rate of the US. Isn't that fact by itself an argument for more countries to join a Brexit type movement and get out of the stifling EU?... If you have the word "Navigator" in your job title the company you work for is too complex. You should find a new company... Brian Belichick will not be returning to New England next year. Have to wonder if we'll see him join the staff at Chapel Hill next season... Question that will keep you up nights: does the Tesla Roadster Elon Musk launched into space need to carry collision insurance?... Traditionally have always bet on heads coming up during the Super Bowl. May also add the prop bet of how many times Taylor Swift is shown during the game broadcast and take the over too...
