Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Melania Trump signed a huge $40 million documentary deal with Amazon Prime. This is a big deal and guessing that Melania really doesn’t need the money. Also guessing that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is doing this more to get on the good side of Donald Trump than anything. Trump is already friends with Bezos’ main rival Elon Musk… Woke up to the news yesterday that Disney bought Fubo. Cut the cord over a decade ago but Fubo is one of my main streaming services. Now I may have to rethink my streaming strategy... Question has to be asked but when Donald Trump takes office will one of his first acts be to allow the purchase of US Steel by Nippon Steel? Both sides want the purchase to go through but China does not. Is that why the Biden Administration blocked it?... Yesterday was Rowan Atkinson's birthday. He may be famous as Mr. Bean but he'll always be Black Adder to me... Also don’t downplay how media savvy Melania is. She’s Executive Producer for the documentaries and has final cut approval. Guessing these documentaries will be very well done and well watched… Bill has been filed in Congress to make Daylight Savings permanent - HR 139. Andrew Huberman called this "locking the clock" and is strongly in favor this bill to stop the changing of the clocks twice a year. Me too... The NCAA announced they are expanding the March Madness field from 68 to 72 teams. Enough already! Can't help but think of the cliche that pigs get fed but hogs get slaughtered. We have already passed the size most people feel comfortable with filling out a bracket... McDonald's is the latest corporation to announce they are ending their DEI programs. However it's not because its the right thing to do but because McDonald's is afraid of being sued. I have a dream that some day McDonald's will judge employees on the content of their character - not the color of their skin... Question that also should be asked: shouldn't the FBI find out where the New Year's Day terrorist in New Orleans bought the ISIS flag the terrorist placed on the back of his truck and simply start tracking anyone else in the US who also bought those flags?... Conspiracy theory: CNN didn't lose interest in Greta Thunberg because they changed their views on climate change but because she turned 18-years old. Release Epstein's client list to see if any CNN producers are on that list...
