Chris Lynch's slanted view on sports, politics and entertainment. Please send thoughts or comments to chris.lynch@gmail.com
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Former FBI Director Wray hit with criminal referral for lying to Congress. So it begins.
- From the archives: The Mets losing Tom Seaver to the Reds. I grew up only knowing Seaver with Cincinnati.
- Iran should abandon its nuclear program. He has a point.
- The great Texas walk-out. "Elections have consequences." - Barack Obama.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Interesting thoughts on nuclear weapons. Makes sense.
- Also interesting - the EPA and the greenhouse gasses "endangerment findings." Rescinding the finding fits with moving fast and breaking things. Let the courts or Congress decide.
- From the archives: Jethro Tull's guide to Indian food.
- Top 20 FBI Fun Facts - James Comey Edition. James Comey is not a good man (and he doesn't hold a Presidential pardon from Joe Biden either).
More stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- The Democrats often hurt themselves by their own actions.
- Tom Brady on North Carolina hiring Bill Belichick
- What the drones in NJ could be. Pretty scary.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Yes the US sanctions against Russia have failed (miserably).
- Will an unintended consequence of the War in Ukraine be a nuclear Japan and South Korea? Good question.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- The list of 1300 side effects of the Covid vaccines (from Pfizer's own documents). The vaccines were never "safe and effective."
- Wow - John Foster Dulles offered France a pair of tactical nuclear weapons for use at Dien Bien Phu. (Via)
- Shedding Innocence - a worthwhile article by Dr. Robert Malone. In my opinion, Dr. Malone is both a hero and martyr of the Covid pandemic.
- Lawsuit by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others charges legacy media and tech companies with Antitrust and First Amendment claims for censoring Covid related content. On the surface, the suit filed in Texas has a lot of antitrust merit. Will be interesting to see the case unfold.
VDH on the recent bluster of Russian nuclear threats.
Two thoughts; first Ukrainian President Zelenskyy recently talked about his country becoming more like Israel once this is over. Israel is a nuclear power though they don't advertise the fact. Ukraine once had nuclear weapons and probably will be once more.
Second - if Putin's actions in Ukraine don't end Russia being an intermediary for a new Iran Deal then the corruption involved here is greater than potentially anything in US history.
VDH with a look at the bleak potential outcomes for Ukraine.
Disagree with Professor Hanson one one point - I think Ukraine when this is all done can become a nuclear power to deter future Russian incursions. Ukraine once was a nuclear power but gave up their missiles because of guarantees from the US and England that we would protect them. This promise has shown to be a sham. It would make sense for them to re-arm themselves.

- And this is without inflation (HT American Digest)
- Glenn Greenwald: Valid questions about the FBI's involvement in 1/6 exist. Why aren't they being answered? Not a conspiracy theorist but Occam's Razor says that the FBI was involved.
- This is scary! US nuclear weapon bunker security secrets spill from online flashcards since 2013. (HT Borepatch)
- Mike Lombardi: The Plight of "The Process." I actually feel bad for 76er fans.
