Chris Lynch's slanted view on sports, politics and entertainment. Please send thoughts or comments to chris.lynch@gmail.com
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Was a convicted former FBI agent also a foreign spy?
- Israel bombs Iran in pre-emptive strikes. You knew this was coming but still eye-opening news over your first cup of coffee.
- VDH: The rogues new gallery of left-wing scoundrels. He's not wrong.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Danielle Boelli on Epic Soundtracks. I agree with both Ecstasy of Gold and Last of the Mohegans but would also add the theme to The Godfather.
- Don Surber: Trump releases Crossfire Hurricane files.
- Interesting: Scientists pioneer chemical process to repurpose rubber waste. I'd buy recycled tires if it was helpful.
- CMD Salamander with a detailed look at Signalgate. I don't claim to be a military or communications expert but as a former Navy Information Systems Security officer he's walked the walk. I would argue that Occam's Razor is that Goldberg still lied. It reminds me that the media was scaring people by reporting a lion was on the lose on the streets of New York City. It turned out it was a raccoon. True both are mammals but a lion on the lose got more clicks. There was never any "war plans" - just as there was never any "lion."
President Trump signed a number of EO's today. Here's some of the highlights:
- President Trump signs an EO mandating one day voting for citizens with ID's only. Reminder: Some of the countries that requite ID's to vote.
- An EO to modernize the payment systems at the Treasury. Should have been done 20-25 years ago.
- A pardon for Devon Archer. Look for Archer to tell all soon on a podcast now that he has a pardon in hand that wasn't signed by autopen.
- An EO for the immediate release of the "Crossfire Hurricane" files (Russia Hoax) from the FBI. I hope all the names of elected officials or officials from the FBI or CIA are unredacted. We need to know who was responsible for the hoax.
None of these EO's are for Trump's benefit either - they are for the benefit of the American people.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Glad to see the lawsuit but some of these people should also see jail time.
- The "Not To-Do List": 9 habits to stop now
- Steven Pressfield: How Alexander the Great led
- Nobody has been a biggest disappointment in 2020 than James Mattis. Get the feeling that his "Mad Dog" warrior-monk persona was a sham all along.
