- Spirit Airlines CEO got a $3.8 million bonus a week before the airline filed for bankruptcy. My personal view is that Ted Christie did not deserve that bonus and that Spirit Airlines doesn't deserve to survive. Flew the airline once and never again.
- A 10-year old boy went for a walk and his mom was charged with "reckless conduct." My two immediate thoughts were the trauma this poor boy must feel for simply doing something natural and his mom had to go to jail. because of it And doesn't his mom have the right to know the name of the person who turned her in to the Stazi police?

Charlie Munger once said, "If enough people are profiting in a general social climate of doing wrong, then they'll turn on you and become dangerous enemies if you try and blow the whistle... Powerful psychological forces are at work for evil." Think that's an apt description of the DNC these past few years.

"Now, this has been a very peculiar talk for some businessman to come in and give a law school - some guy who's never taken a course in psychology telling you that all these psychology textbooks are wrong. This is very eccentric. But all I can tell you is that I'm sincere. There's a lot of simple stuff that many of you are quite capable of learning. And your lives will work way better, too, if you do. Plus, learning it is a lot of fun. So I urge you to learn it."
"...I always knew that aiming low was the best path for me, so I merely sought 1) to learn from my betters a few practical mental tricks that would help me avoid some of the worst miscognitions common in my age cohort, and 2) to pass on my mental tricks only to a few people who could easily learn from me because they already almost knew what I was telling them."

If the federal government does spend $18 billion on classifying documents wouldn't that make it a prime target for DOGE if they are looking to curb spending and cut government waste? Can you imagine how popular a DOGE suggestion box for new targets to eliminate waste would be? So let it be written - so let it be done!

Have to wonder if when buying a bar you have to agree to "bar time" and set all the clocks ahead by 20-minutes. Is this written into the lease or purchase and sale agreement - or is it just a custom? Is this a local thing? What about states that have no closing time?

Donald Trump has named fracking pioneer Chris Wright as new Secretary of Energy to join earlier appointments RFK Jr., Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and others. Look for the Obama quote that "elections have consequences" to be quoted by media outlets of all stripes.

Amused by Brian Kelley ditching Notre Dame because he thought LSU would offer a better chance to win a national championship only to see the Tigers lose to Florida and fall to 6-4 on the year and out of all chances to win anything while the Fighting Irish look to be a lock for the new 12-team college football playoff. This reminds me of when Doc Rivers left the Boston Celtics because he felt other teams offered a better chance to win an NBA title only to see his new teams flame out while the Celtics went to several NBA Finals and won it all last year.

Donald Trump nominated RFK Jr. to be new Secretary of HHS to initiate his MAHA agenda, Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, and Tulsi Gabbard as the new head of NSA even though she was secretly put on a terrorist watch list. He made these nominations just because some people just want to watch the deep state burn.

Seemed amusing at the time but now I understand why voter ID is so important.
- Republicans name John Thune as new Senate Majority leader. Simple explanation is that it's a secret ballot vote and it's tough to get people to vote against their own self interest.

As expected, Donald Trump named Florida Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Rubio is known as a "classic" Republican and a war hawk. He's also the son of Cuban parents who is completely anti-Communist. Think this last detail is the most important as he readily plays the "bad cop" to Trump's get the deal done "good cop."

Donald Trump announced that Vivek Ramaswamy will be joining Elon Musk in heading up the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Vivek was rumored to be the replacement for JD Vance's Senate seat in Ohio but obviously he felt that this was more important. Potentially "the Manhattan Project of our time."

With the passing of George Washington - the death knell of the Federalist Party was sounded. John Marshall was the last Federalist giant standing serving as Chief Justice through the administrations of five presidents. When Washington died Mount Vernon requested that Marshall give the official eulogy of the founder of the nation.
"When the capitol moved from Philadelphia to Washington in June, Adams departed to spend the summer in Massachusetts and left Marshall in charge. From July through October 1800. Marshall was America's de facto chief executive."
Just getting into it but John Marshall was one interesting guy. His touchstones were simple - he loved George Washington and America.
