Re: Tucker Carlson: Biden is Done
I predicted that they would dump Biden early in his term. Using the info from the laptop. When it didn’t happen, I figured they realized they didn’t want the embarrassment of President Harris. So then I figured they’d allow the laptop stuff in time to make sure he doesn’t stand for reelection. The d...

Re: Inflation
Vinny, do/did you watch Big Bang Theory? No. My TV watching is fairly much confined to C-Span, the Yankees, the Celtics, Providence College basketball, MLB Network. No TV shows. The main character, Sheldon Cooper, is a lot like you describe yourself. In many ways, the more I think of it. You might ...

Re: ChatGPT and what it means for our future
Well it's a bit lacking in naughty details. I told you AI will never work! :) Unfortunately, it is also quite politically correct. You have to get clever with the prompting to get it to write anything against the narrative. You would be even more dissappointed by the restrictions on DALL-E (the AI ...

<snip> I feel like I should clarify my positions. Putin bad. By our standards, Russia is kind of barbaric at their core. Ukraine is probably not angelic.

There are some great essays in the new Foreign Affairs issue.

The first and least likely scenario is that Russia will agree to its defeat by accepting...

Not as bad as it looked during the year.

Would it be wrong to say Chomsky is a kinder, gentler Marxist? That’s been my impression. I’m sure it’s more complicated, but that’s my 10,000 foot view of him. I just can’t take that seriously but I’m sure he is able to make some good logical points about it. Whenever I’ve been exposed to his ideas...

Re: West Provokes Russia to Protect Russians in Ukraine
From my experience here’s where there is a problem with the military. We stay WAY too long when things are obviously not going well and the cost benefit analysis of military action has swung to the absolute loss side of the ledger. A weird dynamic occurs…all militaries hate to lose. It’s the ultima...

Here’s a short video by a Lebanese woman on gold as collapse insurance. She makes some interesting points. I was most interested in the shot of people in Venezuela shaving gold slivers off of coins to make smaller purchases.
