Friday “Weekend Reads” Newsfeed: Thankfully It’s Friday Once Again…

I realize `tis the season for various infectious bugs but is it striking anyone else how bizarre it is they are so pelevent and hitting all at once (see the lack of immune system workings after the COVID mandates) and that the antibiotics needed for some of these bacterial infections are drastically depleted, as well as OTC pain and fever meds, especially for children. Most of our RX and OTC drugs are manufactured and supply chained in … China. You’d think we had learned a lesson nearly three years ago when we were caught dangerously shorthanded on such PPE and drugs when COVID burst onto the scene…

Elon Musk knew he was buying a cesspool in Twitter, and has a massive task in cleaning it up. These polls below also could be said to reflect how the division in the country is spilling over into the social media platform. However, I think it can safely be said that those on the left and right have swapped their positions/opinions on the social media platform and it’s new owner (see VDH’s latest below)…

Weekend Reads:

Victor Davis Hanson: Two Antithetical Billionaires: The hatred of the accomplished Musk and the worship of the hollow man Bankman-Fried are sad commentaries on how liberalism has descended into progressivism and ultimately into Stalinism.

The Left canonized Bankman-Fried for the hundreds of millions of dollars he created out of thin air and channeled to left-wing congressional and state candidates, Joe Biden, and a host of “progressive” causes under the cool slogan “effective altruism.”

For decades hence—or so Bankman-Fried promised—his cryptocurrency company FTX would churn out billions. Its politically correct gifting won exemptions from the Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Democratic-controlled congressional oversight committees.

The loud-talking, left-wing slob promised billions of dollars more in gifts to come. He was knighted as the successor to the kindred financial market manipulator and progressive “philanthropist” George Soros…

In contrast, consider how the Left now despises Elon Musk as much as it once worshiped Sam Bankman-Fried.

Musk once mixed vaguely liberal politics with a David-versus-Goliath self-confidence, as he took on Big Auto and Big Space—and won.

But then he turned to Twitter and Big Tech. Or, rather, Musk realized Silicon Valley was no longer the irreverent embryo of boy geniuses he remembers from his youth, which outsmarted and preempted the global technology establishment.

Instead, it had become a dreary, constipated place of hard-core, uncompromising leftists in need of a shake-up.

Tech moguls used their billions, their monopolies, and their exemptions from oversight to warp the way Americans searched the Internet, communicated with each other, voted, and accessed the news—all in service to left-wing causes.

Musk’s mortal sin was not just buying the money-losing Twitter and reinventing it as a free-speech platform.

It was not even exposing the company’s rot of a lazy, overstaffed, woke, and pampered workforce and its giddiness in censoring free expression and wounding the public careers of any who challenged the status quo.

Musk’s crime was far worse…

I would guess that Wray and Barr would say the briefings were to warn about “Russian disinformation” that might affect the 2020 election. But weekly face-to-face meetings? Seems like a lot more must have discussed than that.
