Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Some people are upset that Donald Trump joked to Justin Trudeau that Canada is ripping off America to the tune of $100 billion a year and Trump may have to impose tariffs. And if Canada fails because of those tariffs - well we might just annex the nation (already called America’s hat by some)… This is impressive… Donald Trump names Kash Patel as his choice as FBI Director and Joe Biden then pardons Hunter Biden. Cause and effect? Is Hunter on Jeffrey Epstein's client list?... Hate to see it but Justin Tucker's season is giving me flashbacks of Adam Vinatieri's last season in Indy. All things end badly - otherwise they wouldn't end... Not all the repercussions of Hunter's pardon are political... All joking aside - if Canada isn’t abiding by the new free trade agreement why shouldn’t the US pull out of the agreement and impose tariffs?… In modern America doesn't the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness require a bank account? In that context how is it possible for debanking to be American?... If you are upset at the violence in modern college football just remember that college football was almost made illegal because of so many deaths in the sport but it was saved by Teddy Roosevelt. Just keep that in mind when getting upset about flag planting... Idea for AI: switch Men at Work vocalist Colin Hay to sing all Journey songs. I'd like to hear those songs... Is it wrong for me to get ahead of the game by saying Anthony Fauci didn't hang himself?... Recently re-read James Clavell's Nobel House and kept thinking about the Asian idea of "joss." That things happen simply because the gods will it and we must accept it. Most things in life are "joss"... Has anyone spoken to Lou Holtz after Ohio State's loss to Michigan on Saturday? His comment that the team is soft seems precent...
