Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- I'm 67 and just realized I've been lied to about retirement. He's not wrong about being good at your job, damn near irreplaceable, but then being forgotten after 6 month. He is wrong in not thinking taking care of your yard, your dog, playing golf when you have time, and reading all the books you've been meaning to get to can't be maybe even more fulfilling.

- Saturday they wanted no kings - on Sunday we think kings are funny.

- More on the CCP purges in China.

- More on the UN's failed caron tax vote this week in London.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- VDH: How Biden and Obama failed in the Middle East.

- The UN’s proposed carbon tax on shipping failed in another big win for President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Think whoever proposed such a naked money grab or supported it should be fired. And the US should rethink why we are in the UN in the first place.

- Pete Thamel and Dan Wetzel on the proposed Big Ten equity deal now in holding pattern. I like the phase of a college football equivalent to a payday loan.

- Ross Delinger on the Big Ten equity deal. Even more details here. I miss the old College Football Enquirer.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- FBI had 274 plain clothes agents embedded in Jan 6th crowd. If this wasn't premeditated how would the FBI know to deploy that many agents on that specific day?

- VDH: The crudity of the obsessive-compulsive left.

- Nuclear power generation by country. Surprisingly the US is way in the lead.

- Trump's Epic UN Address.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's remarks at the Federal Reserve capital conference.

- Jonathan Turley on the media refusing to cover the Russia Hoax proof. Whoever came up with the headline "The Silence of the Lambs" deserves a raise.

- From the archives: 100 Tips for a Better Life.

- US to leave UNESCO. Are we leaving the UN piece by piece? First WHO and now UNESCO.

Slavery

It has been reported that there's more people in slavery today then there were at the time of the Civil War. Have long said that the US should drop out of the UN if they refuse to expel any country still allows slavery.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Glenn Greenwald: The NSA's Inspector General Opens Investigation Into Allegations of Illegal Spying on Tucker Carlson

- UN "We have 10-Years to Stop the Catastrophe" (1972)

- Interesting $100,000 contest - a censorship-resistant Inflation Dashboard that doesn't rely on government data. Those two components - being censorship-resistant and not relying on government data are so key (sadly just as much for US data as for China's).

 - What's Behind the Conservative Rift on the Supreme Court. "As Republicans have learned, nominating a justice with a conservative track record is no guarantee of what kind of justice he or she will be if they don't take into account the institutional axis." Excellent way of looking at things.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

You want to know why I'm pretty sure the Vice President will run for the top spot on the ticket? "Joe Biden" is an anagram for "I need a job"... Why yes - I would be interested in owning a full-sized working version of the Little Tykes car... History nugget: when Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in Manilla in 1898 - he lost only one sailor. That sailor died of heat-stroke... It's funny because it's true!... "First you get the money, then you get the binders, then you get the women," Mitt Romney as Tony "Scarface" Montoya... Amazing how far off course the Democratic Party has gotten since the days of JFK... Do you think the reason Bernie Sanders is so quick to give Hillary a pass on her emails is because if people check his they will find he has fallen for the Nigerian Prince scam multiple times?.. Interesting suggestion from John Bolton on how to fix the UN... Imagine the press coverage this would get if it was George W. Bush or even Bill Clinton - Obama's golf outings cost taxpayers over $20,000 PER HOLE...
