Nobody has a clue. Real Hedge-Fund Managers Have Some Thoughts on What Epstein Was Actually Doing

Seems like a sociopath to me, and apparently a charming one despite being a creep. But who knows? Maybe he was a CIA front.

He is most valuable to me for finding phrases to express some of my thoughts for which I have no easy expression.

He is a great talker. Try this podcast. Yes, it's a hip thing to dislike America, so join the in-crowd moving to Canada...and China, and Mexico.

Trump on the UK ambassador: I don't know the guy...but I am told he is a pompous fool. 

Very likely so, some upper crust crony. Most amusing, irreverent US president since Andrew Jackson. That ambassador will be packing his bags soon. Time for an ambassador who wants to make friends. That's the job.

Anyway, "Old Europe" is far too dependent on the US economically and militarily. Obama knew that, but he disliked the UK, especially Churchill and the queen - who he dissed appallingly.

An entertaining Scott Adams podcast

Largest mass produced piston plane every built. Strange.

Interesting:  Mr. James Stewart retired from the Air Force in 1968 as a Brigadier General and was instrumental in the formation of The U.S. Air Force from the Army Air Corp in 1947.  Mr. Stewart was a bomber pilot in WW2 in Europe and received the Distinguished Flying Cross  among many other awards.  Mr. Stewart was certified and licensed pilot as single engine,  twin engine,  multi-engine,  B-36 Strategic Bomber,  B-47 medium bomber and B-52 Stratofortress.  Mr. Stewart never discussed his military career in public.  Truly a great man in many ways!!!!!  And a damn good actor.

You Can’t Celebrate Trump’s Policies And Ignore His Poor Behavior

Why not? His results are excellent. Who would prefer nice, boring behavior and poor results?

JOE BIDEN WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE PRESENT, BUT SO WERE HIS OPPONENTS

 Democrats are Officially the Party of Derangement

Are there any normal people who support what they are saying? Open borders?

CNN Admits 2020 Democrats' "Voters, You're All Wrong" Strategy Is The Dumbest Ever

On every issue, they move further from the political center.

"Everything you say can or will be held against you." 

They are usually excellent. Not this time.

Gotta use your brain, too. 

Keith Richards mentioned Reed on yesterday's youtube.  Here's some fine Jimmy Reed:
