The Brushfire Mind

We're gonna take it easy this morning. Grab a cup of coffee and let's take a look at what X has to say about the latest developments on the Trump indictments.

There has been a trend of First Amendment Auditors around the US over the last several years. Let's talk about why they really matter by looking across the pond to our brothers in Ireland. Last week there was an incident where an immigrant stabbed 4 people, three of whom were children. Today, an Irish senator is calling to restrict freedom "for the common good" while their authorities investigate a vocal critic, Connor McGreggor for hate speech over his disdain for the failures of his government.

There have been some amazing developments in the world of professional options over the last decade. But what is going to happen going forward as AI changes what can be done to what can be done cheaply?

We have a big court win to be thankful for this day after thanksgiving. Maybe y'all should go check the local firearms dealers for Black Firday Gun Sales. Let's have a cup of coffee and do some DGUs. Happy Friday, everybody!

Have a cup of coffee ready. Let's get off to a bright start this morning.

It's that time again! The family gathers to give thanks for the bounties received and the victories achieved. Do you remember pajama boy? That's not a one-off. They do this every year. Let's take a moment to get ready for the onslaught.

The big boys (Disney, Apple, IBM, etc...) are pulling ads from X in an attempt to coerce Elon Musk and all Americans to bend their knees to "Right Thinking." Elon has threatened a "Thermonuclear Lawsuit" against the anti-american propaganda machine "Media Matters'.

The U.S. House Committee on Financial Services passed the Payment Choice Act of 2022, a bill designed to protect the right of consumers to pay with cash at brick-and-mortar retailers. Now, we see more and more retailers going cashless. This is indicative of a much greater problem.

In May 2021, L. Gordon Crovitz, a media executive turned start-up investor, pitched Twitter executives on a powerful censorship tool. The site, Newsguard, sells software, including browser plugins and back-end codes, that purport to perform an unbiased analysis of news sources. As it turns out, the government may have been paying them to conduct censorship activities for the Feds!

APEC accounts for about 62% of global GDP and almost half of global trade. APEC has become a stage for strategic competition between the U.S. and China. The fact is that China is asshole. Don't trust China! We should not be hosting these monsters with in our borders.

The enemy is at the gates ladies and gentlemen and 8 Republicans have just stood up against our border security and national security interests by protecting Secretary Mayorkas from the consequences of his crimes.

The real question is, why aren't we ready to go full electric? The answer is simple. We aren't ready because we have neglected our basic infrastructure for too long.

It's the Marine Corps Birthday. If you know anyone who you didn't know was a Marine, this'll be the day that they remind you. Let's have a cup of coffee and do some DGUs. Happy Friday, everybody!

At last night's final Vice Presidential debate, we saw the also-rans pretend to be involved in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. It started with the audience shouting out "Trump, Trump, Trump!" And that really is all you need to know.

Yesterday, Steven Crowder released the manifesto of the trans shooter that has been suppressed for the last 8 months. Big tech immediately moved to censor the comedian in an obvious effort to protect yet another enemy of the people. Meanwhile, it looks like another election was stolen and the sock bots are out in force working to spread the disinfo.

I first read an article in around 2005 about the possibility of space elevators being a real possibility in our lifetimes. At the time, I had just read the book "Friday" by Robert A. Heinlein. The space elevator was not a central theme in that story but it was a staple in the background. It is becoming a nearer and nearer reality every day. https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/09/12/102622/a-space-elevator-is-possible-with-todays-technology-researchers-say-we-just-need-to-dangle/ https://spectrum.ieee.org/a-hoist-to-the-heavens https://www.universetoday.com/68840/developers-say-lunar-elevator-could-be-built-within-a-decade/ https://pubs.aip.org/aapt/ajp/article-abstract/75/2/125/1056308/The-physics-of-the-space-elevator?redirectedFrom=fulltext https://www.space.com/7494-space-elevator-contest-heats.html

There are memes abundant about putting up the Christmas tree right after Halloween. Do what you do, but let's talk about the Thanksgiving season and the idea that we can be thankful all season long. This has been a crazy year, but there are in fact reasons to be thankful as we have had some big wins this year.

Let's have a cup of coffee and do some DGUs. Happy Friday, everybody!

A Danish outfit, Orsted, just pulled the plug on a big wind farm in New Jersey. These projects were both funded in large part through tax dollars allocated through Biden's so-called "Inflation Reduction Act." The Climate hoax is in full swing and continues to refuse to die. Let's talk about what the actual concern of so-called climate deniers.

BUY US A COFFEE TO HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brushfiremind From the White House, President Biden Issues Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. That's right, kids! Artificial intelligence is scarry, but not to worry! The Government is going to save you! The former Vice President has signed an executive order that aims to regulate the development of artificial intelligence. There's no way this can go wrong, right?

It's time to go out with the kids, gents. Let's take a look at some GREAT American costume ideas and have a laugh with our morning coffee.

An article from Collider.Com got my attention this morning because we (my little family) have recently been rewatching The Big Bang Theory. The article, 'Why 'The Big Bange Theory' is so Hard to Watch Now,' by Sebastian Stoddard, argues that the show was good when it came out but is not OK now because of some of it's political positions. That's right. Lefties, who were originally responsible for the show now feel that it isn't far left enough to be tolerated. I will argue that, in fact, the show itself is responsible for that result. Yup, I'm going to use this as an opportunity to attack "Will and Grace".
