- Forecasters warn of potentially "catastrophic" storm from Texas to the Carolinas. It's cold here too! Where's all that global warming we were promised? 

- Seems like this might be necessary at this point.

- Do commodities get cheaper over time? Interesting but also think AI will play a role in lowering commodity prices in the near future.

- Can't see how anyone can defend fraud. At same time not sure if the entire national debt is because of fraud.

- Democrats worry about Senator Feinstein. Will be interesting if the 87-year old Senator from California performs badly if the issues of her Chinese spy driver or term-limits start getting raised by media on the Left.

- Minneapolis PD to business owners: Reinforcements are not on the way. At some point you'd think the residents of Minneapolis would wake up and realize that they voted for the same things that destroyed Venezuela. Don't look for the rest of the country to have much sympathy.

- Why are the media and far Left so anti-Joe Rogan? The media is against Rogan because he's crushing them. His type of media is ascending and the traditional media is holding on for dear life. The far-Left hate him because, like his listeners, he thinks for himself and does not sheepishly buy into whatever the talking points of the day happen to be.

Slice of Life

So I was in Minneapolis a while back and had some time to kill one night. I asked a friend from the area in my Boston accent if he knew of any poker bars because I was in the mood to play cards. He looked at me for a minute and then replied, "Try Nye's Polonaise it's close by to where you are staying."

So try Nye's I did. It was close by and it has a great reputation (named the best bar in America by Esquire). I was completely underwhelmed. I sat at the bar and asked the bartender if they played poker there (thinking there may have been a back room or another floor or something).

"Did you say poker?"

"Yeah poker - you know Texas Hold'em."

"Sorry no cards here."

"Hmmm... my friend told me that this was a poker bar."

"Maybe he was having fun with you. This is a polka bar."

Damn - me and my Boston accent - dropping the R's off words bit me in the ass that time.
