- Obama Admin hid information to create Trump-Russia conspiracy, Democrats "should be scared."

- Australia is going Japanese. I really think so - think so think so.
More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Perspective: Every war in history started as a Trade War. "Not every Trade War resulted in immediate armed conflict."
- Morgan Housel with thoughts on tariffs, economic history, and market decline. I disagree with much of his assumptions and think much of his thoughts on history are incorrect but agree with his stance of keeping an open mind since neither of us are experts in history or the economy (and certainly not me). And to be fair this was written before the big market rebound.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Some interesting thoughts on how to improve the US military Navy.
- Should NPR refuse to take federal funds? Is this the new "you can't fire me I quit?"
- Could accomplishments at NASA be one of Trump's biggest legacies? JFK is remember as the President who said we'd go to the moon - could Trump be remembered by history as the one who said we'd go to Mars?
- On the other side of the debate: Are we spending too much on the military? I'd argue the opposite is true - that if you want peace you prepare for war and that much of the world is safe from bullying because of our military might.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- NPR CEO Katherine Maher was a no-show when Congress called her to testify. That by itself should be grounds for cancelling all the federal funds to NRP. Who needs NPR or Katherine Maher but sadly this would never happen.

- The world's top 25 websites in 2023. Sites 12 and 13 are porn. They should be higher.
- The FBI searched Joe Biden's home and found classified documents from the time he was a Senator. This is from NPR meaning the people actually in charge don't want Biden to run in 2024.
- Pentagon admits in release they funded 48 biological labs in Ukraine. Have to wonder if these last two stories are related. Good news - no more nukes. Bad news - we funded a ton of bio labs in Ukraine we're getting blackmailed over.
The snit NPR and PBS find themselves in over being labeled as "State affiliated" or "Government-funded" on Twitter just brings back the debate of why taxpayers are supporting these outlets that nobody watches or listens to anymore.
