Wow, this came at the perfect time.
Today has been a slog.
No bursts of creativity nor flashes of genius.
Today was all about pushing through and not giving up (even though I really wanted to).

I along with my wife, and seven others were confirmed into full communion with the Catholic Church at Easter Vigil on Saturday evening. It was a beautiful service full of celebration and joy. We all felt truly loved and welcomed.
It sounds cliche but I really feel like I have come home.

I want to share an image with you—an image that I think sheds light on how the pleasures the world offers pale in comparison to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I was about eighteen, out on the town with friends in Adelaide. We’d spent the whole night partying—too much to drink, too much noise, chasing the kind of thrill we all assumed would make us happy. As dawn approached, we wandered through the quiet streets of the city, still laughing, still buzzing from the night.
That’s when I noticed it. …
Damn, you weren’t kidding that this is a long post! It’s a bit depressing, while at the same time energizing as there are potential solutions for many problems. First order of business is to have Elon and Vivek borrow Milei’s chainsaw and do to the bureaucracy what Elon did to Twitter (fire 80% of the employees). These two will give new meaning to the song “Who let the DOGEs out”!
Sorting out the political miscreants will take time and be fraught with many dangers, but Trump has surrounded himse…
Musk must not be given any power. He is building a massive satellite system for spying (starlink), he fully supports green energy and global warming by selling EVs, and he desperately wants to replace humanity with his bio-human robots. Giving this bum a foot in the door will be disastrous for this country and humanity. Do not be fooled by the glitz.
Yes, he grossly offended all real MAGA Republicans the other day by going all in on bringing millions of Indians in on the H1b visa scam. They'll never leave, obviously. It just more replacement of White Americans. Elon rages against our lack of engineers and IT specialists. Who kept White American men out of this field? Why not go after them? Why double down on the DEI insanity?
He replied, We need them yesterday. There's no time for schools. So in other words, India wins and we lose. This is his version of "Saving America" - letting us be colonized. He has powerful allies in Vivek and Vance, who has gone native.
As ever, Capitalism shows its destructive face. Short term gains at the expense of the nation. India is a real nation that invests in its people - well some of the them anyway. The rest can rot in poverty while the winners prey on the West.
