- Canada's descent into ignorance shocks the world. Many have taken Canada off their list of places to visit and can you blame them?

- Will be amusing to watch fellow Democrats go after Adam Schiff for being a scumbag because they want Dianne Feinstein's seat too. Karma is a bitch.

- World's exports by country. China is even larger when you add Hong Kong's number to them. By the same token those numbers should come down as nations decouple from China and remember China lies about there numbers.

- Acting Speaker of the House orders Nancy Pelosi to vacate her corner Speaker's office immediately. America asks in unison, "Wait she wasn't told to vacate already?"

 Some quotes I hope may resonate with you.

"The only problem with capitalism is that it works so well that people think they don't need it." - Dan Held

"An infected mind is a far more dangerous pestilence than any plague - one only threatens your life, the other destroys your character." - Marcus Aurelius

"You'll have to pass it to find out what's in it." - Nancy Pelosi

"Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire." - Jorge Luis Borges

LBJ and Political Corruption

Interesting post about Lyndon Baines Johnson and how he may have been the model for political corruption today. 

When Johnson entered Congress, he was dirt poor and obsessed with money. He remained an elected federal official until his term as President ended in 1969 - an unbroken string spanning more than three decades - and yet managed to retire with a fortune that would be valued well in excess of $100 million today.

You could replace the name "Johnson" with the name "Pelosi" and the statement would be equally true today.

Normalization of behavior like Johnson's has led to a continuing debasement of US politics to the point where scandals that would have previously ended careers are now routinely blown off as standard operating procedure.

Well maybe depending on which party the offending elected officials belongs to. You can even sleep with Chinese spies or employ a Chinese spy as your personal driver for years if you're a Democrat.

As the cancer of corruption grows , so too does the government's need to corral the outrage and the activities of ordinary citizens.

That's where the censorship of social media, the drive for a government controlled digital currency and other means of government control comes in. I hope Americans don't stand for it.

- How the National Review sold its soul to Google. Next to Bill Kristol nobody lost more prestige and is more of a pariah to both sides than Jonah Goldberg. Devil's advocate says that it's not just National Review that imploded but all magazines the past few years though. 

- Matt Ridley: The radical potential of nuclear fusion. "We are probably less than 15 years away from seeing a fusion power station begin to contribute to the grid."

- Locast has suspended operations.

- Shame! (As if Nancy Pelosi had any idea of the concept.)

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Just a reminder that a good percentage of your tax dollars go to pay the interest on the National Debt every year. Our National Debt is going through the roof because of all the wasteful spending out of Washington and this will couple with the inflation that is being caused by the mismanagement of the economy by these self-same folks. The amount we US citizens will have to pay on the interest on the national debt is about to skyrocket and this story is seemingly not getting any attention in the media... Noah Smith - Does America really lose all it's wars?  He pegs our post WWII "record" at 15-2-3 and I don't agree with all his assumptions or conclusions (Iraq was never about oil). What fascinated me was I didn't recognize a number of the wars he listed (and I consider myself a pretty historically literate fellow). Operation Beleaguer (1945-49)? Operation Observant Compass (2011-17)? Are some of these really wars?... If I were to start a new religion I'd call it Bill Belichick's Cult of Personality. I think that would be amusing. Wonder if I could get tax-exempt status?... Psychedelic Apples would be a good name for a Grateful Dead or Phish cover band... There is absolutely no Fortune 500 company that would hire either Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi as CEO yet here they both are running the entire economy. How does that make you feel?...

Democratic Party; Hey Silicon Valley is firmly behind us - what can we do to try and change that? "I know - let's slip an anti-crypto currency rider into the 'Infrastructure Bill' and not allow any amendments to fix that." You're a genius Chumley!... I still believe that NO non-profit or tax exempt organization should be allowed to pay a salary to any executives or employees more than the President of the US (currently about $400,000 a year). So places like Harvard that pays its President about $1.7 million would lose tax-exempt status...  Pfizer CEO cancels Israel visit because he's not fully vaccinated. This seems like bit of a red flag and "I didn't want to jump ahead of the line" also seems like a very weak excuse... Freebird!... I have to wonder how there hasn't been a mutiny against Nancy Pelosi by Democrats in Congress. Seriously! She was already heading many of the House members towards election losses in 2022 and now she jeopardizes the Infrastructure Bill by allowing the Crypto Rider - something very few if any politicians understand in the first place. She's unwittingly mobilizing many formerly non-political, tech-savvy, rich people into Single Issue voters. And probably right into the arms of the Republicans too. How is that good leadership?... This guy is spitting fire (and truth). I want a copy of that thumb drive...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If I were a billionaire I'd hire the actor from Game of Thrones to follow Nancy Pelosi around at all public appearances, ringing her bell and saying, "Shame! Shame!"... I may be an awful person but I thought this was hilarious... Have you ever noticed that the same people who say they would never step foot in a Walmart because of how Walmart treats their employees, "the people of Walmart" or what Walmart did to small businesses in small towns also seem to be the same ones who get almost daily deliveries from Amazon Prime? Some serious cognitive dissonance... Sacred Drunkenness would be a good name for a band (or a new religion)... Here's a business idea for Big Pharma - why not just combine the COVID vaccines with heroin? Really get people addicted to "booster shots." Imagine what that would do for the bottom line... Random admission from a middle-aged guy: all my FaceTime calls from my iPhone are either butt dials or calls with tech support... BTW I have nothing against either Walmart or Amazon - just not a fan of hypocrisy
