John Mauldin on Crypto
Everything below is from John Mauldins Newsletter…I was surprised how much it lined up with what I’ve thought about crypto. The first part is the bigger picture…the second is FTX details. I would simply add, I see not much difference between a crypto exchange and an overseas gold vault as noted. I g...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
If we are going to move the ball forward in time, let's start talking corruption again...and you may want to read up on his life and times while in power. A little accidental Dioxin poisoning of your opponent in a close election never hurts either.

Re: US House to investigate the Bidens et al
I don't think they will find anything new on the FBI as that dog has been run. I am looking forward to the social media companies side of the investigation.

Great tangent on the infowar...wow, a complete blowout but a little spin from me. In infowar a key principle is that you have to be considered credible.

However, other than 9/11 (from an American standpoint) I can't think of a more worthy war to support in recent times. I'm assuming that you meant "other than the US in Afghanistan , I can't think of a more worthy belligerent to support than Ukraine in recent times." I'd take the opposite ...

The psychology aspect is a thing for sure. Really though, one should not isolate assets when thinking about the PP. Way too many folks do that.

Re: Anybody got Beef with the Dispatch, Jonah Goldberg, David French etc.
I think the R primary is going to be by far the most entertaining. Trump will run, but I don't think this time he's going to win. People I know who are MAGA types pretty much understand (now) he has no chance of winning a general.
Apparently the Trump circus is going to launch tonight...
