Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- CBS to pay Trump massive sum in election interference case. One of my favorite parts is that settlement will help fund the Trump Presidential Library.

- From the archives: The Buffett Formula - going to bed smarter than when you woke up. A rule of thumb I try to follow every day.

- Jonathan Turley: Why NYC's Zohran Mamdani looks more and more like a hardcore Marxist.

- You're seeing this more and more every day. Good for the FBI - bad for China,

This Week in Musk World



We start off this week in Musk World with the above video of Jay Leno explaining why Americans should be rooting for Elon Musk and Tesla. I agree with Jay 100%! Tesla has created close to 50,000 new jobs. How can you not root for a company that does that?

To be fair not all the jobs at Tesla will be in the US with Gigafactory 3 set to open in China mid 2019.

Yet the big media attention story was Elon's appearance on 60 Minutes. Not exactly a love story but even 60 Minutes couldn't diminish the company's accomplishments.

Tesla is growing with 11 new stores opening this week. And as always no need to have an appointment for a test drive at any of the locations. These new locations also mean more new jobs - for the people who built these locations and those who will staff these locations.

In other Musk World related news - the SpaceX Dragon has visited the Space Station 16 times. The latest this past Saturday.

Tesla may also be getting into the GPS business. Which when you think about it would be a natural crossover expansion of their auto-driving electric cars and SpaceX experience.

Next week Musk World sees the Boring Company product launch. And as usual probably some surprises. Never "boring" in Musk World. (Sorry couldn't resist.)

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I know it's only one week but Peyton Manning looks cooked... 60 Minutes piece on Deflategate all but says the NFL was setting up the Patriots... David Ortiz is now just one of 4 men with 500 HR and 3 World Series rings - the others are Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Reggie Jackson. That's some good company... I think history will say that Hillary Clinton's big mistake was not running against President Obama in 2012. Her husband Bill urged her to do it. Now I think she has too much baggage to be elected... David Ortiz needs just 22 more doubles to have 600 for his career. There are currently only 2 players in MLB history to have 500 HR and 600 doubles - Henry Aaron and Barry Bonds... Not usually an Alex Jones fan but this is interesting... If any President had handled Iraq and Afghanistan the way President Obama has - the MSM would be using the word "quagmire" 10,000 times a day... Can't watch those new Steve Jobs movie commercials without remembering Bill Burr's bit on Steve Jobs...

Stuff I found interesting and thought I'd share.
Interesting look at the longtime friendship between Mitt Romney and Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel
Awesome - photo of supply ship docking with International Space Station
With the passing of Mike Wallace in mind - here's a look back at his interview 4 years ago with Roger Clemens. Even at his advanced age Wallace showed the interviewing skills that made him famous and made you sure Roger Clemens was using steroids
I would seriously buy one of these Bobby Petrino T-shirts
Very Cool. How to make the perfect vertigo picture
Never has Hillary Clinton seemed so likable. Texts from Hillary
