The next six months have all the hallmarks of serious change. Economic and geopolitical. Trump speaks to Congress this week and he will lay down the guidelines of this change. Hold on to your hats. It's going to be windy.

Who has viewed the 1949 B&W film 'All the King's Men' starring Broderick Crawford? Given our current political situation it's well worth the time.

Maga and its various leaders and minions are not an ideology. Not a stable position on the political spectrum. However it has a clear political objective. The consolidation of power centered on the Executive.

Watching 'Wings of Desire' ('Der Himmel Uber'). Auf deutsch with subtitles. Brilliant portrayal of early West Berlin. Lyrical study of the human spirit. Worth repeated viewings.

Goddamn. Some game. Philly had won it by half time. Many of my guests got quiet by then. All gone now. Started quietly leaving by the end of the third quarter. Many lost money on KC. Good party weak game. C'est la vie.

Waiting for the hurricane to hit this afternoon. Already received several texts saying it's going to be a big one. Nervous. Sitting in the 'eye' barricade with food and drink. When kickoff occurs I will be riding a whirlwind. Way too much fun.

Spent the day getting the party prepared for tomorrow. Food and adult beverages. Wagers have been sent, received and confirmed both private and public. Promises made not to get too crazy. Maybe. Will depend on how tight the game is.

Good morning, all. Today is in preparation for two magnificent football games. Friends and family will congregate to celebrate athletic prowess. I, in turn, will ensure all that is needed will be in ample supply. Let the games begin.🧨

Biden gave two clear warnings. The existence of a wealthy ruling oligarchy and the control of AI. Have been arguing the same concerns over several years. Biden had the courage to warn against both much like Eisenhower's warning against 'the military industrial complex'.

Watching the 'Magnificent Seven'. Bernstein's score is a great intro. The film never grows old.

Watching the slow but never ending dumbing down of popular culture while AI promises a faster and all encompassing national security system. Worry that democratic values will disappear in a storm of sound bites.

In Atlanta waiting for a flight to Tucson. Despite the crowds people are full of holiday happiness looking forward to see loved ones sometimes far away. While reading a magazine I catch smiles and laughter. Let's remember the goodness in most people despite stated differences.

Travelling to Tucson for Christmas with family members. Bound to be quiet gaps so any suggestions as to how to fill them would be appreciated.

The picture of Trump with Vance, Johnson and Musk at the A-N game was truly Orwellian. The next six months promise to be chaotic as Trump, driven by hubris and ignorance, attempts to transform the federal govt.

Need to focus on the coming musical chairs in DC re the Trump nominees. Remember that Trump is loyal to no one save himself and a few immediate family members. Should be entertaining as people come and go.
