Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Seems like everything is happening at once: Thursday's debate performance by Joe Biden reveals him as dementia ridden to anyone with eyes who was watching. The corporate media is now being held in contempt for obviously lying about Biden's competency in the past. And the Supreme Court's Chevron ruling may be the death knell of the deep state. Will history view this as the beginning of a revolution? I was hoping for more tar and feathers.

Will Joe Biden Resign or Be Replaced?
The movement for Joe Biden to step aside for his own good and the good of the Party is becoming a steamroller. Have a new post up on Substack discussing how Thursday's debate performance revealed to any viewer what was already clear to most.
Joe Biden must step aside by the DNC Convention in Augusts. Just get ready for a flood of articles about what candidate could possibly beat Donald Trump in an election. Also look for many candidates to throw their hats into the ring and hype their own abilities,
Get the popcorn ready. It's going to get interesting.

Post Debate Panic
Recently I wrote that many are questioning why Donald Trump could agree to such terms for the debate but post debate people will be wondering how Joe Biden's handlers could allow him to speak in public? Wow was that spot on or what?
- Never forget what they tried to sell you.
- Heh Heh
- Some of Biden's biggest supporters the day after.
- Trump turned Biden's "performance" last night into a campaign commercial. Devastating.
Priests Playing Poker
The sins associated with playing cards are nothing new. The Synod of 1404 forbade card-playing by the clergy and in 1423 Saint Bernard called for the faithful to go home, get their playing cards and burn them right in the public square outside of Saint Peter's in the Vatican.
I wonder if that ruling against clergy playing cards has ever been rescinded? Personally I can't ever recall seeing a priest at a poker table. And now I really want a version of Dogs Playing Cards but with priests instead.

- From the archive: How much could Batman bench press?
- Supreme Court rules on SEC vs Jarkesy: a win for the separation of powers and the right to a civil jury trial. This could be a very big deal.
- CNN could be forced to pay about $1 billion in defamation suit against Jake Tapper's show.

Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Watched the debate last night until around 10:30 and had to quit because I couldn't take it any more. Trump, rightly, harped on how disastrous the open borders policy of this Administration has been for the country, Biden called it malarkey and claimed the Border Patrol Union supported him (a claim that was refuted in real-time by the union who said they never supported Biden and never will). How anyone could think Biden is in the same condition as the man who ran in 2020 that's running today is disturbing,

Happy 98th birthday to funnyman and American icon Mel Brooks.
Be sure to re-watch his moves before they are all cancelled by people with zero sense of humor.

Some Presidential Debate Humor
When I think about tonight's Presidential debate I can't help but have two thoughts; I keep thinking of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail bit of "come see the repression in the system" and I hope comedian Shane Gillis gets some good material out of tonight's debate. Anyway...
How Steinbeck Used His Journal as a Tool of Discipline
How John Steinbeck used his journal as a "daily act of showing up." Or as Steven Pressfield calls it "putting your ass where your heart wants to be."
Love Steinbeck but funny enough have never read The Grapes of Wrath (probably because it was assigned reading in high school). Must have read Cannery Row a dozen times - one of my all-time favorite beach books.
The article is well worth you time. Good life advice - still haven't read The Grapes of Wrath but I need to remedy that!

- From Wednesday's WSJ. Are you better off today today than four years ago?
- Tucker Carlson pushing back twice as hard.
- Interesting - never heard of Nano-hydroxyapatite before or NOBS. This is probably old news to people with sensitive teeth.

Many a truth is said in jest,
