Seven Thoughts

1.  Look....socialism only thrives where you allow a fair amount of capitalism to exist and flourish.  The minute you go and tax the apparatus in some massive way....the system collapses, and the politicians get thrown out.

2.   Just odd when you think about it.....after the 2016 election....John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Amy Klobuchar traveled to Ukraine together. 

After the trip, they held a press conference and declared that Russia attacked the USA by hacking the 2016 election.  The commentary was all lies.  

3.  I just don't think most people will miss NPR as they downsize.  

4.  Socialist NY  City mayoral candidate Mamdani was asked on the idea of abolishing prisons....saying ‘What purpose do they serve?’

That might not sell well to about 75-percent of NY voters.

5.  The way that CBS explains firing Colbert and his show.....they were paying him to produce it for $100-Million a year.  In return, via advertising for 2024....they were making $60-Million.  So they were running a welfare show and helping the show via NFL football profits.  You have to wonder....was it the same for 2023 and 2022?

What Johnny Carson was making toward the last season or two?  $200-Million....today, around $1-Billion.  His show was regarded to bring in around 30-percent of NBC's total profit for the year.  

6.  Just a humble guess...virtually all of the networks (except Fox) will terminate their late-night TV hosts, and restart with a directive....no political 'targets'.

7.  It just appears like 60-odd Democratic politicians (from the past/present) are likely to be busy in court for the next three to four years, and be non-players for 2028.
