Many a truth is said in jest.

- Coming this January

- Reminder

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

- Jonathan Turley on whether Anthony Fauci had the legal authorization to act as he did. May also open him up to prosecution and maybe financial restitution.

- Steven Pressfield on DeNiro sits in a chair. Good stuff.

-  Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell - everyone knew but nobody did anything (from former Reddit CEO in 2020)

- Average credit card rate now over 22%. Thanks Joe! (Via)

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

- You get an A! You get an A! Everybody gets an A! Grade inflation is a big problem at Harvard where the hardest thing is getting in - the grades it seems take care of themselves.

-  Heh Heh

- Related - US Virgin Islands sues JPMorgan for facilitating Epstein abuses. "Human trafficking was the principal business of the accounts Epstein maintained at JPMorgan."

- Robert Kennedy Jr. is very passionate in this video and he's 100% right!

Time to tear the whole thing down and start from scratch? Its become clear over the past few years that there are two sets of laws in this country. One set for the rich and politically connected and another for ordinary Americans.

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

While married to Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner had an affair with director John Farrow whose daughter Mia would later marry Frank Sinatra. Did you follow that?... Heh heh... Would be really curious to see a poll of who is more unpopular - Kamala Harris or Ghislaine Maxwell... My favorite campaign slogan of all-time was Ronald Reagan's "Elect me and let's forget the Carter Presidency ever existed"...  Heh Heh... There's a pretty good chance that the Falcons' Matt Ryan will finish his career with more passing yards than Dolphins legend Dan Marino. Ryan currently has 55,767 while Marino sits at 61,361. My how the game has changed... 

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

- Ghislaine Maxwell is reportedly not having a good time in prison

- Life is Short. Amen.

- Fear Rules by Roger Martin 

- I could actually see myself joining the Church of the 400 Rabbits.

- Holy crap - this is why the Verranzzano bridge was closed Monday

- Storm clouds are brewing and people are people are choosing sides

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Then: "Only Nixon could go to China." Now: "Only Trump could decouple from China." Internally Communist Chinese leaders know what time it is. The decoupling will happen and is happening. Western businesses have learned not to trust China - "China is asshole". Leaders in China are probably worried about feeding their nation and also that the middle class there will be looking for someone to blame once the shit really hits the fan... Questions arise over sports draining public resources. I'm OK with this because the resources aren't "public" in the sense that they are owned and paid for by the government. Quest Diagnostics and BioReference are private companies that charge fees for services. If BioReference wants to expedite NBA tests you can be sure that the NBA is paying a premium for it..With the demand this high would it shock anyone to see other labs step up to take some of the testing market share?.. Heh Heh... "No great thing is created suddenly." - Epictetus... Heh Heh... I've read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged a couple of times but have never picked up Return of the Primitive. I honestly don't consider Rand a very good writer but after reading this post I added Return of the Primitive to my book wish list...

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

- Amazon US sellers will have to display their name and business address starting September 1st. Good!

- Lessons from history

- Did not see this twist coming - is Ghislaine Maxwell secretly one of the most powerful Redditors of all-time?

- Normally I don't link to stories on pay sites but the story of Terry Pluto's book Loose Balls really brought a smile to my face. Loose Balls is one of my all-time favorite sports books.

- Stanford is cutting 11 of its 36 varsity sports. This is a school with a $27 BILLION endowment fund.

- Covid-19 deaths in Sweden have dropped to nearly ZERO. As a reminder - Sweden never went into lockdown.
