Tony Hsieh and the Grand Illusion

The death of Tony Hsieh has intrigued me… He was a billionaire who did things in unbillionaireish ways. I had so many questions… Many of those questions were answered by Kirsten Grind, James R. Hagerty and Katherine Sayre of The Wall Street Journal… Before his death, Zappos co-founder Tony Hsieh became fixated on what his body could do without, a friend said. He starved himself of food and…

Kate Bosworth and the Skippers of Cohasset

Kate Bosworth and I have a few things in common… We’re both ridiculously attractive. We’re both ridiculously happy. We’re both ridiculously wealthy. The only difference between us, as far as I can tell, is that I’m a liar… Kate and I, both, graduated from Cohasset High School… We, both, matriculated to Cohasset Public Schools, respectively, during our freshman year. Kate graduated in 2001; I…

Bobby Brown Broke Brood

Another child of Bobby Brown has died… TMZ has reported that Bobby’s namesake, Bobby Brown, Jr., has died. Bobbi Kristina Brown, another one of Bobby’s seven children, died in 2015.

Bobby Brown, Sr., on the other hand, may, like Keith Richards, live into his 70s or 80s. The story of Bobby Brown is a tragedy… Millie Bobby Brown, wherever she is right now, must be wondering if she’s next…

I won $20,445 on Sunday afternoon… That might not seem like a lot of money to you but, for me, it’ll help to pay some bills. It’ll also help me to provide part of a downpayment on a new 2021 Toyota Sienna Platinum which, desperately, my family needs…

Okay… You’re right! We don’t need the Platinum model but we want the Platinum model; it has a lot of bells and whistles that include some…

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has abandoned the idea of rational discourse… It has, instead, embraced the tenets of critical race theory. It has chosen to become the Thought Police…

The New York Times Hypocrisy Equals Fraud

The New York Times worried, before the election of 2018, that elections could be hacked… It published an Opinion Video entitled “I Hacked an Election. So Can the Russians.” in April of 2018. Shocker…

The New York Times, as you may remember, “worried” that the Russians helped to elect Donald Trump as President of the United States in 2016. The Mueller report, officially titled “Report on…

Mr. Wonderful on The Donald

I woke up at 5 AM this morning… That’s unusual for me. I found myself in a quiet house… I, then, found myself watching a couple of interviews of Kevin O’Leary, a resident of Boston, on YouTube. One of them was eyeopening…

The first video I watched was produced by Bryan Elliott of Behind the Brand…

A Vote to Enfranchise a Class of Disregarded Veterans #StephenLynch #VeteransDay A thread ⬇️

Today is Veterans Day so I’m, as a veteran, supposed to take a victory lap… I don’t, however, feel like taking a victory lap. I don’t want anybody to say “thank you for your service” to me either…

I didn’t do anything too extraordinary during my military career… I, mostly, kept my head down while obeying orders. I wanted to, however, better myself so I took the opportunities which were…

Everett Is Not A Gerly City #GerlyAdrien #Everett #EverettMA A thread ⬇️

The City of Everett’s City Council is in turmoil… The newest City Councilor, Gerly Adrien, is creating a crimson tide along the eastern bank of the Malden River. The other city councilors, seemingly, do not like Gerly’s politics or her tactics…

The major issue seems to be centered around the use of technology… The City Council wants to conduct business as usual but Gerly, she’s in her…

Ayanna Pressley Hates Election Security #ScottAdams #MichaelCapuano #TulsiGabbard #StephenLynch #ThomasMassie #AyannaPressley A thread ⬇️

Is Ayanna Pressley insane? That’s a serious question… Ayanna believes that we have a voter suppression issue within the United States…

Our vote is our voice, but voter suppression continues to silence the voices of far too many. We need a new Voting Rights Act.

— Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (@RepPressley) November 7, 2020

Doesn’t Ayanna know that, allegedly, more than 74,000,000 people…

A Brief History of Mail-in Voting #DonaldTrump #JoeBiden #JimmyCarter #JohnLott #Election2020 A thread ⬇️

The precipituous rise of universal mail-in voting within the United States has made me curious… Has mail-in voting been abused? What is the history of mail-in voting?

I’ve found lots of information that says that it has been abused across the world and, specifically, within the United States…

There is a guy named Dr. John R. Lott, Jr. and that guy has been railing against mail-in…

The Boston Red Sox Endorse Cheating #RedSox #JohnHenry #AlexCora #DavidOrtiz A thread ⬇️

On a day when a cheating scandal is rocking the 2020 election, the Boston Red Sox have endorsed another cheater. The Red Sox have, again, hired Alex Cora. Alex was suspended for one season by Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred after being a part of the Houston Astros cheating scandal of 2017 to 2019…

The Boston Red Sox will rehire Alex Cora as manager, a person with…

Cheaters and Liars Abound #DonaldTrump #JoeBiden #ThomasMassie #TulsiGabbard #TomFitton #JamesOKeefe #ProjectVeritas #Election2020 A thread ⬇️

There have been reports of electoral fraud, especially within contested states… There have been reports of anomolies and irregularities. There have been reports of crooked poll workers too…

And I feel as though I’m pissing into the wind…

The rise of universal mail-in voting is the cause of all the turbulence we’re experiencing… The mail-in voting system has been perverted beyond…

Redfin and Redlining #RobHahn #GlennKelman #RobReffkin #Compass #Realogy #Redfin #ZipRealty #NFHA #Newsday #Realtor #Realtors A thread ⬇️

Redfin has been sued for redlining… I find that statement to be hilarious. Glenn Kelman, the “woke” Glenn Kelman, just got busted…

It’s glorious!

BREAKING NEWS: We just filed a discrimination lawsuit against @Redfin. After a two-year investigation, we found that Redfin’s minimum home price policy discriminates against sellers and buyers of homes in communities of color. https://t.co/jAf…

David Icke Is a Cult Leader A thread ⬇️

It’s Halloween… There’s no better day to discuss a ghoul named David Icke. David believes that there are people who walk the Earth wearing Halloween costumes, he calls them “reptilian humanoids”…

The “reptilian conspiracy theory” has been popularized by David Icke…

My father, recently, died of cancer… He had, before his death, become a David Icke fanatic. I had become tired of listening…
