Odds & Ends

Crypto conman Sam Bankman-Fried has been found guilty of fraud and conspiracy. The evidence was overwhelming and the three former executives who worked side by side with him testified against him. It took the jury just over four hours to render guilty verdicts on all seven counts.

Of course, with all the friends he had among elite politicians this may have been a surprise to Bankman-Fried. However, Bankman-Fried was expendable by the Democrats once the money laundering operation started to dry up after the 2022 election.

Bankman-Fried is the fall guy. I wonder just what he knows about the inner machinations of the money laundering operations that shovel money to politicians.

What is his life expectancy now?

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is an America First politician not one of the pretenders to that label. Recently Massie was smeared by the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) over his vote on House Resolution 771. Why? Was it because Massie supports the raping of Israeli women? No. Was it because Massie thought that burning women and girls alive was a good thing? No. Did Massie fail to condemn the killing and beheading of babies? No.

White Smoke

It was a tradition in the Catholic Church that, when a new Pope had been elected, white smoke would emanate from the Vatican. It did not matter how long such a process took. It did not matter how many votes were needed. It was over when white smoke was seen.

Appeasement

Now that the initial shock is wearing off of what Hamas did on October 7^th, we are hearing a lot of talk about that Israel’s response needs to be proportionate. Biden administration officials have been at the forefront of such inanities. Secretary of State Antony Blinken caused an uproar over the weekend with a since-deleted social media post in which he encouraged a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

Summit Cancelled

Joe Biden was literally in the air, flying toward the region when Jordan’s King Abdullah cancelled the summit between Egyptian President al-Sisi, Abdullah and Biden. This is more than a little sunlight on who Abdullah was talking about when he said, “the usual suspects were trying to create Defacto issues on the ground.”

Distractions

Biden is going to Israel today. The agenda here is transparently obvious.

First, there is no strategic benefit to Israel from a Joe Biden visit. In fact, the opposite is true.
Second, notice how there was no advanced notice when Biden visited Kiev, Ukraine. Yet here, with a real backdrop of violence, a Biden visit to Israel is announced in advance.
Third, state visits such as these require extensive planning and security measures; the absence of which here underlines the urgency of motive.

Recently Candace Owens gave a speech at the University at Albany. Owens was taking part in Turning Point USA’s Live Free Tour. During the question-and-answer portion of the program, one student asked: “What do you have to say to the trans students on this campus who feel actively victimized by your presence here?”

John Fetterman has apparently engaged in some self-introspection.

The House went home on Friday without electing a speaker. The media is apoplectic that this is paralyzing the country. Last I checked everything is still running smoothly here. The pundits are worried about the country being forced to shut down some unnecessary functions next month.

My question is, “is that really a downside to this situation?”

California has apparently decided that kids should not be held accountable for their behavior in school. From the Epoch Times: ...

Barbarism

Hamas, also known as Palestinian rapists and murderers, launched an attack on Israel last Saturday. This featured the killing of people at bus stops, in their homes and in their cars. Also on the agenda was the raping of women and girls, breaking their limbs and then executing them. Some were burned alive while the onlookers cheered. Perhaps the worst atrocity was the killing of babies. An untold number of them were decapitated. Some of them were burned as well.
