Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
President Trump gave a speech at the UN yesterday. Haven't seen or read the whole speech so don't want to comment. Saw some snippets but not the whole thing. Probably get the feed from Fox News - they covered it even though they're "boycotting."

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Colorado votes whether to unwind good tax policy. Look at the differences between a flat tax and a graduated tax. I'm in the flat tax camp.

Find it ironic that President Trump is getting flack for banning some media outlets from the White House for spreading "fake news" or hoaxes and the media is outraged. Meanwhile Joe Biden and Kamala Harris banned press conferences and interviews from the White House and nary a word was said.

He's Not Wrong

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Jonathan Turley: Can the President ban disfavored media? Against censorship but if a media outlet knowingly spreads lies or edits interviews to distort the truth - they why should they be given access?
- Many a truth is said in jest.
- This is cool. Makes you wonder if a Kraaken could be towed by an ocean liner and used not just to supply power but also clean drinking water. The excess power and water could be sold in any port they dock in.
- "Hottest Year Ever." He's not wrong.
Monday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The Buccaneers lost to the Browns yesterday 23-19 a week after the Chargers lost. Feel bad for the folks who reasoned no way San Diego LA goes 0-2 to start the season and picked the Chargers this week to beat the Raiders. Of course they lost. It was a reminder why I no longer do Survivor pools.

Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Yesterday was a college football day and today an NFL one. The Steelers at New England is the game I'm most interested in and looking over the schedule it may even be the best matchup of he day. Although the Vikings vs Bears may be as good or better.

Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam

With Alaska to the left and now Greenland to the right - the US has Canada surrounded. Just joking of course but it really does bring up the thought of what do we really need Canada for anymore? Just something to think about while we wait for the LSU-Ole Miss game to kick off tonight.

- The American Affordability Tracker. These numbers are scary.
- Protect College Sports Act crosses another major hurdle.
- Jonathan Turley: Princeton faculty reach perfect zero support for Republicans. Don't look at what people say - look at what they do.
UNC Statement on the Football Investigation
Well Mike Lombardi retained attorney Tom Mars and I'm guessing they are considering this far from closed. This may be just the first shots in the battle. Don't think this is just a Tar Heel matter either - this may be a canary in the coal mine battle for the control of the university itself. The sports programs or the university bureaucrats?
Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The nation's GDP grew at 5.1% and the economy is strong and the average American family is making more than ever. But because of high interest rates and inflation Americans feel they are paying way too much in mortgage or rent payments and the gas price at the pump continues to be an issue. The Republicans may be facing a surprising answer to the question - are you better off than you were 4-years ago? Things need to change.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Jonathan Turley: Senator Rand Paul introduces Birthright Citizenship Amendment. He's not wrong but asking red states and blue states to have a serious debate at this time is expecting too much.
- US cities where your money buys the best quality of life in America.
- Fed approves interest rate hike - signals one more may be coming this year. This is the opposite of good for homeowners or people looking to buy or sell homes.
Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Tonight marks the return of NFL action on Thursday nights on Amazon Prime as the Bills open their new stadium vs the Detroit Lions. I know what I'll be watching. Originally got Amazon Prime for the free shipping (I hate shopping in person). Perhaps other streamers should follow suit? Subscribe to Netflix and get free Internet or ESPN and get a free subscription to The Athletic (free subscription to the NYT doesn't count - I'd prefer something of value).
