I'm overcoming Ommicron COVID.

State and federal governments in Victoria and Australia have been obstructive in my care.

I'm not allowed to work off line. I'm not allowed out to shop. I cannot get tested. I must wear a mask inside.

I have food, but for the last several weeks, the microwave oven has been broken and the estate agent isn't replacing it.

I have run short of diabetes medication. I'm not allowed out to replace it.

I'm double vaccinated, but not allowed HCQ, Ivermectin etc etc. I've learned that iodine gargle is very effective against COVID. Standard cold and flu symptom remedies are useless against COVID. I had thought I had had tonsillitis but because I had COVID symptoms I could not get tonsillitis symptoms treated. (I could not see a doctor).

The first few nights of so called 'tonsillitis' coincided with a heat wave. I have no air conditioning. My room heats several degrees above ambient as it receives morning light but is well enough insulated to not let it out. At night I had chills and night sweats. I began fasting with a light meal a day. It was important for me to keep my chest clear, and to use anti inflammatory for my throat. Bubble tea with aloe vera was nice. No milk. Soft food like cold potato salad was good. Cold tinned pineapple was good.

I was unlucky in that one of my share house is a centrelink employee/authoritarian. They erroneously claimed all testing sites were closed and began issuing instructions regarding lockdown rules that satisfied them but were problems for others. I might have gone to get myself tested as I had intended but for their intervention. And now I'm short of medication and food.

nb mask policy is useless as it doesn't prevent spread. Vaccination policy is bad as it does not prevent spread and might make it worse. Government needs to treat sick, not lock down healthy. IMHO

===

Homelessness is not a strong likelihood. I have family backing. I have a number of rental applications. However, I must move 23rd or 24th Jan and I do not yet have a firm destination. I welcome prayer support.

AOC will run for president…

AOC was asked if she’s going to run for president.

Her body language is very telling.

First, you clearly see that it’s the status / power she finds alluring. The high regard that she holds herself in by virtue of the question itself.

But her behavior and subtle admission belies her denial / deflection.

She has the obligation to remain focused on midterms, and “not on our individual aspirations or plans”.

Well, there’s your answer.

Also, look at the contempt she has on her face when answering the question about Chuck Schumer at the end.

Can’t record the actual debate, but this is what the setup looks like. It’s pretty amazing.

Behind the scenes…

This is one heck of an eclectic gang.

I can’t post on stage content. But I will post an update.

Appearance on Richard Syrette

I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

Declaration of Independence
Heading out today

Welp, it was a fun blitz in Dallas. Heading home today.

We will have the Sunday show tomorrow MONDAY evening, 18:00 ET. Was going to try and do it this morning, but it will be too tight and don't want to stress / rush.

The panel yesterday was awesome, though I think we destroyed Team MAGA - not in a bad / embarrassing / not constructive way. There's only so many times someone can respond "so vote Democrat..." or "Democrats would be worse" (which we all agree with) before it is clear they have not good answer for the critique.

At one point in the debate, I was asked "What would you do now!". I said "I would not have gotten into this mess, from Epstein to Iran, etc". was cut off but "well that's done, what would you do NOW".

I said "pull out of Iran, declare victory,. make a public statement that the admin will immediately focus on domestic issues and cost of living, show a little contrition for where things are (instead of saying "eat your $20 burritos), make some arrests and invigorate the ...

Questions for Early Bird Bourbon w/ Barnes, Sunday August 9, 2026

A rare Sunday Bourbon, early-bird style. Ask questions in the replies and answering live at 6ish pm eastern tonight.

Made it home!

Landed safe and sound.

I watched a movie on the plane called Train Memories.

Funny enough, It was very much like the book A Land Remembered in that it was a time-piece, diary of a logger/railroad builder’s life and tragedy, following the Industrial Revolution / modernization of the world.

The only problem is the movie sucked.

Other than some nice cinematography, it was a depressing, vaping, and utterly pointless hour and a half of meandering.

No deeper insights into life and the human condition.

Just a depressing movie about a logger whose wife and child die in a forest fire when he’s off working.

Miserable.

Do not watch.

Excited to be back. I’m done traveling for a little while.

It’s exhausting.

I just hope this event was worth it. Don’t like missing two Sunday shows in a row!

See you all tomorrow :)

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • My idea for a perfect Saturday brunch, sitting by an open window in Venice along the canals, fresh flowers gracing the table and balcony, the blue skies and 18th century buildings smiling back, gondoliers parked, an Italian meal awaiting, in this Atlantis of cultured living. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • Hubris infects the strong, not the weak; the clever, not the  knave; the smart, not the illiterate; the previously successful, not the prior failed. It’s what makes it so inviting, so tempting, and so destructive — precisely because it infects the very people who need to be most immune from it.

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The well worn wooden desk, the papers stacked, the lamp lit office, the window’s view to the outer worls, the chalkboard for inspiration, the books stacked, the deep leather chair, and a bottle of bourbon for the work’s end. A perfect office. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “Hubris is the arrogance that just scrapes the stars as it falls fast and furious to the demise of its exhibitor.”

The Barnes Brief: Wednesday, July 29, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Venetian arched bridge above, the old walls of the city surround, the bricklaid road ahead, the dance of light against the alley, as the shadow makes us bigger than ourselves. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “When we don’t put the brakes on our self-absorption, we have nothing stopping us from self-destruction.” Zeena Shreck.
