A better night of bowling…

Averaged 187 tonight. So feeling a little better.

I just need to figure out a way to dull the nagging pain of the shoulder bursitis.

Four strikes, one spare, one split. Doing better than last week 😂

Close, but no 4-7-6-10 split.

I am done with Candace

I know you guys don’t really care for it. And I know you don’t need to announce your departure before leaving the airport.

But watch this. I am done with Candace.

I’ve known him for years now. He is a sincerely good man. A hard worker. Honest. This is beyond the pale.

Figures!

Chuck Grassley is 92. He entered politics in 1958 in Iowa and 1974 at the Federal level. 1974.

Did you know that on June 22, 1985, Grassley and his wife, Barbara, were involved in a plane crash. The plane, piloted by Irv Linder, took off from Fort Madison Municipal Airport and had to land in an oatfield just beyond the airport due to an faulty fuel pump. Yes, 1986 was an election year for the senator.

Guess what was going on at the time? Iran/Contra, CIA cocaine network being exposed, S&L scandal with CIA and mafia ties...and then out of nowhere Grassley authors the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989. He didn't do that bc he actually gives a fuck about whistleblowers...he did that to control which whistleblowers get heard and which ones don't. He's the very definition of a gatekeeper for the deep state.

Go back and look, he signed a collective letter to Trump demanding he keep NAFTA. Why, bc NAFTA is a vehicle to the American ...

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.

D. Appearances

II.     THE EVIDENCE
