We seem to be in the middle of an epidemic of news leaks, fake news, and outright lies. Whether it's Iran or the Fuci files it feels that Ronald Regan's words of "trust but verify" have never rung more true.

With LeBron signing with the 76ers look forward to lots of reports of did Philly create a "super team" or ones asking how this group will get along with a limited number of shots per game and only one ball.

One of the big changes I see in society is knowledge losing it's monopoly. It was held for too long by "experts," newscasters, politicians, and others. Now many can see these folks are far to often wrong or don't understand the issue. Problem is too many fall sway to the wrong type. Who is the right type? You have to decide.

Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

The Red Sox won the first game of a double-header to run their win streak to 15-games and tie the franchise record. But then they lost the second game to end the streak. Not sure if my old school Sox upbringing makes me wonder if the ending of the win streak is the first of many disappointments to come or if I should be positive and hope this is just an opportunity to start a new win streak?
