Night Recap of Timcast Event

Made it back home. The gang was going to the after-party. But I am a firm believer that nothing good happens after midnight. Just watch Gremlins. lol

It was a fun night. I hate asking for favours, and hate feeling indebted, so I bought a ticket and planned on attending as a spectator. Networks are an amazing thing... I had met the security at the Milwaukee event, and they gave me a "backstage" neck pass (which I kept as a souvenir). Got backstage and met the gang. Luke, Ian, Tim's team, and the guests of honour.

Tim looked great, excited, proud of the team he has built. And rightly so. The event was at a church in Little Havana in Miami. A great location, though I was fearful of everything as I am when I leave the house! lol

Met Alex Stein is awesome. He has life in his eyes, and looks like he's genuinely loving his purpose in life. He was loving the crowd as he performed.

Met Patrick Bet David again, and his team. Vinny and I had a good laugh about his encounter with Schmidt. Vinny is intense an authentic, straight-forward and introspective in a way that you don't often see.

I ran into the Redheaded Libertarian. She seemed a little shy, reserved but super friendly. Always fun to see how people's online personas compliment / differ from their real life personalities.

Saw James O'Keefe and we caught up. He's being sued by Project Veritas. It seems (and this is my assessment) that they are keeping PV alive only to sue James. His life has been turned into a struggle of lawfare and persecution, and even if I think he looks tired of it (anyone would be, but it might be my projection), he also looks as determined as ever.

He is also being sued by the post office guy for defamation for reporting on the whistleblower who said he overheard the post office guy talking about back-dating ballots. And James just got a letter of demand for referencing the lawsuit filed against him for defamation. It's a veritable defamat-inception! All thinhs considered, James if rocking. PV can eat shit. Sorry for the swear.

And I met Matt Gaetz. I asked him on what basis they were trying to expel him. He jokingly said it's because he held McCarthy to a budget, then said it goers back to the bogus accusation that he was already absolved of. Guilty until proven innocent. Then guilty even once proven innocent. It's the democrat way... He too seemed tired of the bullshit (my projection - sorry for the swear). but also, probably understandably so.

And funny enough, I was talking to someone who looked familiar. About Miami. Florida. Then Trump/DeSantis. Turns out it was Rob Smith, a man who I think I might have been sassy with on Twitter. We really got along, so I hope my sassiness will be forgotten, though I don't think I was mean or unfair. I jokingly said it takes me a while before coming to the conclusion that negative intentions can be inferred. I think we're friends.

Evening ended, came back listening to Barnes Hitler Hush-Hush. Ate more food than people need to eat before going to bed. And now, I am off to bed.

Peace! No proofreading. YOLO!!!

His moment of greatness

And it was quite literally his only moment of greatness in the three games! 😂

What’s incredible is how expensive everything has gotten, even the most traditional family outings.

Admittedly, we were five kids and two adults, but it was over $35 per person to play three games of bowling.

Then you have to rent the shoes.

And the food, if you order it, is overpriced junk.

But, we had a moment!

Thomas Massie vs. Ed Gallrein

No judgment, I just want to see the discrepancy between our Locals community and X.

Who do you all want to win tomorrow’s Kentucky primary?

Still a little black-pilled

The results from yesterday‘s midterm remind me of scenes from two movies:

Killing Zoe: when the bank robbers finally reach all of the gold, after the bank robbery has gone totally awry, the French bank robber lead actor/villain says “we are rich” as he strokes the gold.

Eric Stoltz - the good guy sucked into the bank robbery gone south - says “whoa, we’re not out of here yet”.

To which the villain says in his French accent “yes, but we are rich”.

The other line was from Rushmore: “they can buy anything, but they can’t buy backbone”.

I briefly chatted with two guys at the bowling alley yesterday. Mid 50s/early 60s. Said I Was very much distracted by the Kentucky primaries (before results started coming in). they weren’t even aware that Kentucky primaries were going on, and when I told them who was running, they said “oh that guy… isn’t he the anti-Trump guy?”

And you realize the power of propaganda. Two people who barely even knew the core detail that the primary was even happening, knew the ...

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of May 15, 2026
Art of the Day 
  • With its signature clock, red brick walls, and wooden floor interiors, I remember well the chapel I first set to publicly speak as a 10-year old — Phillips Chapel, Highland Park, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Damaged a few years back by a fire, evangelicals founded the church in 1922 as part of the Indpendent Baptist movement I grew up in. MLK met with Reverend Lee Roberson here during the Civil Rights movement. My first moment on stage ended quickly, as I forgot my speech, panicked at the size of the crowd, and my little ten year old feet scampered across the wooden floors in fear of total embarrassment. Fond memories!

The Barnes Brief: Thursday, May 14, 2026

Art of the Day 

  • This abstraction captures something more of the symphonic spirit in the seamless synethsis of function and feel, utility and aesthetic, that is my favorite place in my hometown — the Walnut Street Bridge, whose blue beams and wooden planks cross the Tennessee River, and whose path I took each day to work as a young lawyer for a public interest law clinic defending the victims of abuse be they parents or banks. The feeling of precision integrated into nature, crossing it, overcoming it, and experiencing it at the same time, this local artist best captures the sense of the Birdge as I fondly remember it, expressed in its geometric shape, friendly colors, and textured echo of memory past.
