All this was predictable. The beat goes on.
As I understand it, Hunter had not reported $3 million of income.
Think about that for a moment… a drug addicted, out of work son of a politician ends up with more than 3 million of unreported cash. And that’s what the IRS knows about. I fear that we view politicians as somehow deserving to be rich and famous. And we give them and their families a free pass for the grift.
I am way more concerned about politicians and their families selling us out for personal gain than I am some of the more “serious” charges like classified docs in a former office holder’s garage or hotel room.
Follow the money. And I mean this in a bipartisan way. Jared what’s his names deal with the saudis is sketchy as all get out.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Modelo being number one was a big surprise to me when I saw it this weekend. I will confess that as a fairly steady beer drinker when I’m not trying to diet, Modelo especial wins on taste. I started drinking modelo occasionally a few years back and actually enjoy it. I mainly stock Miller lite as my go to water beer, but Modelo is on my go to list.
Mick you nailed it with the comment on hiring. It’s amazing to me how an ivy degree is somehow seen as a signal for wisdom. Heinerschneid’s interview, given just before the blow up, really sounds and looks out of touch. When you sell average piss beer behind a brand that was built on guy comedy and “dilly dilly,” you don’t go try to steer that ship toward things that make your core consumer uneasy. I would bet a lot of people buy Bud Light BECAUSE it’s fratty and connected to silly dude behavior.
I think I wrote this earlier in this thread, but I don’t think the bulk of the protest is about LGB issues. It’s about Dylan M. The person has and promotes behaviors that most mainstream adults would find abhorrent if they were in their own homes. SHe’s 30 and prances around acting like a little girl, which, even if she were female, would be weird. That she is a Male doing this and promoting it broadly is scary to far more people than is polite to admit.
Bud Light was tacked to a character that was a lightning rod already, and is paying for it. It could actually kill the brand. That’s just crazy to contemplate.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Things appear to be going according to plan if you ask me. Equality of squalor for all.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I don’t think it’s even close to over. As this economic pinch sets in even more people are going to be looking to exit blue heaven for red freedoms.
it’s amazing how much California’s leadership has taken for granted. Newsome is a numbskull.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)When you need to reassign that certain someone but they are protected from on high, the answer is “restructure.”
Sometimes it’s clear that there is no difference between the federal bureaucracy and the mafia.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Too many artificial capital controls not to mention the whole totalitarian state thing. The world should be looking to contain China, not let it metastasize.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)It’s definitely a possibility in an era where some politicians would murder their own parent if it led to the other side looking bad; but it’s not at all an outcome we should be happy about as a country.
A skilled politician will tell you that default might actually be a wake up call to the problem of debt outgrowing GDP by leaps and bounds; but it’s not exactly the right kind of wake up call.

second, this seems like much ado about nothing.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Good read.
Generative AI is actually pretty amazing if it’s based on facts. It is terrifying that it may be steered by humans with bias.
That said, the first time the AI recommends for instance sterilizing everyone living below the poverty line we will see real regulation of it. Factual but cruel and inhumane, just like most raw arguments.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)The contrast to Trump is very interesting at this point in the presidency. People quickly forgot that Trump was well neigh unbeatable right up until March 2020 and the George Floyd riots. The Dems embraced the covid death cult and the mostly peaceful rioters to smear Trump and that was only for the home stretch before the election.
In other words, a lot can happen in a short amount of time.
Personally I think Biden could lose his mind completely within the next 18 months. He has deteriorated so much in 2 years he can’t even take questions, and everybody knows it.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I guess the answer here is that treating transgenderism as any other healthcare issue for a minor means that it’s “too late” if the parents don’t consent to the castration and/or mutilation?
Makes sense.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)This will be chalked up to a bunch of troglodytes being “anti trans” but the reality is mulvaney is a good example of a scary phenomenon: really demented, deviant people getting a lot of publicity for “being” a certain identity, but in reality exploiting that identity by just being bad/weird/controversial.
Mulvaney acts like a little girl. If she were not trans he would be just really weird. Because she is trans it comes off as abhorrent to a lot of people. Literally she is a grown male acting like a 9 year old girl.
How the marketers think it’s a good idea to attach to such mental illness is beyond me. I have a core belief that the internet rewards bad. The badder you are the more clicks you get because you will arouse intense reaction. Mulvaney is just bad.
So, you are a woman now. Go ahead, take the W but don’t press into the realm of creepy craziness and expect no hatred. That’s not anti trans, it’s defense of actual healthy norms and culture.

I never thought I would see a world where NOT allowing your kid to chemically and physically alter their body could be considered child abuse.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Stanford would never punish the hecklers… the hecklers have become Stanford’s customer and audience. It used to be that professional schools served the profession and helped weed out the bad aspirants. Now? Show me the money.
This whole episode has Stanford looking like a compromised institution.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I get a dead link.
You want a good microcosm of “free thinking” that does relate to Bari Weiss? Look at how Matt Taibbi has been treated since working on the Twitter files. You would think he is Rush Limbaugh based on the Dem reaction, and reality is he has been left-leaning for years.
