Announcement: April LIVE Event

Special Announcement.

Event: Barnes Birthday Bash

Where: Chattanooga, Tennessee

When: Weekend of April 21, 2023

What: A special event, from 5 to 10 p.m., as the only, invited guests on a Mark Twain era Tennessee Riverboat, with catered dinner served, a scenic river cruise, live entertainment, a live special edition Hush Hush show, special guests, and a personal meet-up with Viva, I, special guests, and fellow members of the board.

Fundraiser: All net proceeds go to the Free America Law Center. Your ticket helps fund the three efforts FALC will be launching -- Political Freedom, Food Freedom, and Medical Freedom. In all three areas, deserving clients cannot afford representation and legal advocacy, the cases concern matters of core freedoms of everyday Americans, the impact of the cases is global and public, and the legal profession's own political parochialism leads them to not adequately or effectively represent these causes and individuals, from the Covington Boys to Kyle Rittenhouse, from the vaccine injured to the customers of small, independent farmers. Your support will make that representation possible, and this will be the inaugural fundraiser for FALC. Tickets to the event will be $350 per ticket, still less expensive than the ordinary fundraiser, and providing a lot more value than the typical fundraiser.

Tickets: A link will be sent to subscribers of the Board later this week. We have availability for 250 tickets for the special event.

Just spoke with Nate!

Good news, and small fate:

I just got off the phone with Nate. I actually can’t believe how good he sounds. He’s obviously in quite a bit of pain with a massive headache. Still suffering from the sedatives, but he sounded amazingly good.

An absolute miracle.

On the lighter note, a matter of fate. My kid needed me to drive her somewhere, and I was nagging her to get in the car. It took her five minutes more than expected to get out of the house. And as we drove, we came across an alligator crossing the street. Had we not pulled over to flag down the cars, I know someone behind us would’ve run it over because a bunch of teenagers driving too fast were on the road.

So double good news!

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of November 21, 2025

I.    INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

We the People. It stands out above all in the scribed parchment inside the glass-encased shield inside the Rotunda of Congress with three words bigger than the rest: We The People. Penned on a single sheet of animal skin by Jacob Shallus, it stands out as the Great Charter of American liberty, the profound experiment in self-government, and still stands today as the oldest and shortest written constitution of any major government in the world today. Those words stand out above the rest, written in flowing letters outsized to the text, to remind the world upon what power our government sits: We the People.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“Monopoly is a great enemy” and a “wretched spirit” which poses a greater threat to the free market than as it prevents free enterprise from self-defense. Adam Smith.

C. Cultural Recommendation

Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution tells the tale of what the true founders – the generation that birthed freedom on this continent – thought as they argued the merits of this new document. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7841680-ratification

The Barnes Brief: Wednesday, November 19, 2025

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

One place where AI proves fun is its image generation capacity, whether for memes, dystopian dreams, otherworldly experiences, or translating photos and ideas into the templated work of famous painters. I asked it to convert this meme into a Hopper painting, and it turns out quite fun, as it blurs and blends the images into the spirit of the people and place, as Hopper so masterfully made so often. A Hush Hush of its own accord.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“AI is unfalsifiable and thus unscientific.” Erik Larson.

C. Cultural Recommendation

The Myth of Artificial Intelligence: Why Computers Can’t Think the Way We Do. The author, an AI researcher himself, explains why much of AI’s narrative is pure fiction.

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of November 14, 2025

I.   INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

Working away in the hidden office, devouring intel and discovering information, to share with the world. My office looks like this, but replaced with digital feeds over the physical ones of yesteryear, processing the running feeds into recognizable patterns that can both explicate and forecast alike. To all the hidden offices uncovering what his hidden for the world.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that, for bureaucrats, procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing.” Thomas Sowell.

C. Cultural Recommendation

The Dark Side of H1B Visa exposed by a recipient, Raj Kuppa. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25843858-the-dark-side-of-h1b-visa
