Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Supreme Court skeptical of law banning drug users from possessing firearms.
- More than 550 CDL Schools Shuttered. Is it too much to ask that ICE is working in conjunction with this news?
- The problem with Iran. To me the real problem is the Hippocratic oath supposed to be for doctors not military leaders. Those are taught to inflict maximum damage to their enemies (HT A Layman's Blog)

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and the UAE all declared their rights to respond to attacks from Iran. Basically the Iranian regime has pissed off all their neighbors. Also guessing these six countries will also soon announce they are all part of the Abraham Accords.

We have reached a fog of war situation between the US and Iran. You have to take any information from both sides with a grain of salt as it is being filtered from when it actually happens to when is reported to the general public. Even in a couple of weeks when much comes out we may not have the full story.

China, Russia, Pakistan, and others have protested the US military actions against Iran in Operation Epic Fury but this was what they were expected to do. No real actions other than words of condemnation will be taken. If these nations had any real issue during the US's weeks long build up of military asset literally on Iran's doorstep those concerns would have been conveyed long ago.

Have to research the subject more but seems to me that the bottom line to this controversy over Anthropic seems to be the company's view that some Silicon Valley Karen would be better equipped to handle military targeting than someone who graduated from officer training school and has years of experience. The Karen says she determines the ethics and thus gets to determine the appropriateness of targets.

Friday used to be known as the day to "dump" any "news" you wanted to be forgotten over the weekend but with the Internet and social media it's become the day you drop whatever news you want people talking about for days with little or no competition. So far we got Paramount beating Netflix for Warner Brothers and the NFLPA report card being leaked. What else will this Friday bring?

Reports are coming out that NBC will be replacing Tony Dungy on their Sunday night NFL telecast. So many outlets reporting the same thing at the same time means someone at NBC wanted this info out there. Now the question is who replaces Dungy? If it is Peyton Manning is this a knife in the back move? If it is Bill Belichick would that just be another win over Dungy for Belichick? Inquiring minds want to know.

Last night was President Trump's State of the Union address and I think the more the differences in the party's and their stances on 80/20 issues like transgender surgery on children against parents wishes is brought to the fore that the differences between the two are made clear. What type of party requires everyone to march in lockstep and not think for themselves? The Democrats can't even stand or clap without official party OK. It's creepy.
