Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Is CNN guilty of illegal campaign contributions?
- The minimum viable US Navy. How the US can counter China. From last year but worth a review from time to time.
- VDH on the Democrats problems. Big believer in projection and what we're seeing here from the White House is projection.
- Condoleezza Rice: Juneteenth is our second Independence Day.

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
OK I'll say it! It is slightly hilarious to watch white people who until last week had never heard of Juneteenth trying to virtue signal on social media that they support making Juneteenth a national holiday... Interesting - SpaceX submits application to offer Starlink broadband service in Canada... I propose that we stop saying we are in a pandemic and start saying we are in a "virus panic"... Why don't we just cut to the chase and rename everything after Benjamin Franklin? He was the most laudable and progressive of the Founding Fathers. His biggest sin is he may or may not have participated in orgies and adultery... Heh Heh... The latest Gallup Poll shows the New York Jets are public favorites to win the next Super Bowl (because people always tell pollsters what they really think)... My new favorite exclamation is "That's how babies are made!" Make a long putt, "That's how babies are made!" Make a great pool shot, "That's how babies are made!" Try shouting it sometime...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
"Everyone seems to think the censorship movement won't come for them. If you think for yourself, it eventually will." - Matt Taibbi. If you don't this this is true you haven't been paying attention... I think at this point the AP Style Book should require "scare quotes" any time ABC "News", NBC "News", CBS "News" or Fox "News" appears anywhere in print. It's the only way to even come close to factual at this point... Heh Heh... "Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life." - Eckhart Tolle... Oh my God... Here's a modest proposal that I think would make both sides of political aisle really happy (or really pissed). First make both Juneteenth and Election Day national holidays but in exchange move Tax Day (traditionally April 15th) to Election Day. The idea on that last bit is both voting and paying your taxes are civic responsibilities - why not give people the day off to get both duties accomplished? I do think there's one political party that wouldn't want people reminded of high taxes on the day they go to the polls though.
