- Sam Altman on Focus

- John Wooden's Pyramid of Success. Might be time to re-read his book They Call Me Coach 

- 11 armed people were arrested over the weekend and it was reported because the whole Town of Wakefield (pop 27,000) had to be placed in shelter in place because of the danger. Then not a peep from the media. The Rise of the Moors had all the social media too - YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook - will Apple delete those services from their store to be consistent to how they treated Parler? 

- And we in the West have completely abandoned them to their fate

- The science behind hangovers

- Cut off the Blood Supply to Communist China: End Trade. Some excellent points. "Don't trust China! China is asshole!"

- 9 roles of great leadership

- John Wooden's Pyramid of Success

- Not every maverick is a new Galileo. Currently reading this book. This is my first Matt Ridley book and it's made me want to read the rest of his works.

- Scots entrepreneur set to mine asteroids for Scotland!

- The Biden corruption scandal isn't about Hunter, it's about Joe. So true. Biden makes Spiro Agnew look like a piker.

 Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Like most Americans you are probably unaware that the Lakers won the NBA championship last night. I know - I forgot they were playing too... Urban Irish would be a good name for a band, a sports bar or a line of T-shirts and hats... You may also be unaware that MLB playoffs are going on as well. I'd guess that only 1 in 20 American adults could even name half of the teams that are left in the baseball playoffs. We aren't angry with the NBA or MLB. It's just that their antics have made us apathetic to their very existence... "Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts." - John Wooden...  I can recall just a short time ago when historically FDR's two biggest sins were interning Japanese American citizens and trying to pack the Supreme Court. Now that packing the Supreme Court seems to be gaining Joementum momentum from the Left I have to wonder if they also support putting Americans who disagree with them into internment camps. Scarily I think we all know the answer to that one...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The world is a poorer place today with the passing of John Wooden. He was truly a class act. I think it says a lot about the state of college basketball today that a man of Wooden's character probably wouldn't be able to compete against the John Calipari's of the NCAA world if Wooden was to have started his coaching career in this day and age... I find it hard to believe that Clay Buchholz has just 2 career shutouts. I don't find it hard to believe that both of those games came against the Orioles (no hitter on 9/1/07 and last night's 5 hitter)... 5 Hot Wheels/Matchbox Cars Worth Crazy Money... Heh heh - Tweet of the Day: @OldHossRadbourn Hoss would be really quite content if S. Waldman never again mentioned how much she loves N. Swisher "in the 2-hole"... Possible Signs of Methane-Based Life on Saturn's moon Titan... I am so sick of these commercials for the movie Splice but yet oddly curious if the beast breast feeds. Also is there still a 7-Up clone called Splice out there? What's next - a horror movie about a deranged surgeon called Dr Pepper?... I did not know this. According to Mental Floss "In 1946, Boston owner Walter Brown chose the nickname Celtics over Whirlwinds, Olympians & Unicorns." I did know that Red Auerbach's brother is the one who designed Lucky the Leprechaun... The world would have been a much better place if John Wooden started a religion instead of L. Ron Hubbard...
