Art of the Day: Geometric ancient art found on walls, temples, and pottery from centuries ago across civilizations, societies, and geographies around the globe. Recently highlighted by the likes of Graham Hancock and other explorers of ancient civilizations, this unique geometric art depicted here in Greek pottery, represents a kind of collective unconscious across ancient societies. It stood out to me for a different reason: a tattoo artist from Tahiti (where the word tattoo originated) designed an engagement ring tattoo for me a decade+ ago mimicking the same identical design, though I neither requested nor he suggested it. Something deep in the human consciousness calls to this simple symbol of truth in life.

 

Wisdom of the Day: “The power in the judicial will enable them to mould the government into almost any shape they please.” Brutus, Anti-Federalist, 1788.

Closing Argument: Time to Judge the Judges

The cameraman never dies

It finally happened. After four years, I came across an alligator on my side of the path.

I would say, I nearly biked over him, but I saw him from a mile away. But holy crap apples.

Never mind the gnats.

US - Canada trade war

Here’s a question not enough people are asking: Will Mark Carney‘s firm Brookfield Asset Management suffer or benefit from a US - Canada trade war?

Spoiler: The answer is benefit.

Nothing like having a cool $53 billion of assets in China and India while triggering a trade war with America.

The country where half of BAM’s assets under management are locaternvested.

It’s almost predictably diabolical.

Canada US tariff war

“We need to fight these tariffs dollar to dollar” -Doug Ford

“As Donald trump is trying to inflict pain on every Canadian, that we inflict pain right back” -Also Doug Ford

It’s amazing. He actually said this out loud.

Also, this buffoon does not seem to understand what happens when you try to fight dollar to dollar with someone who is 13 times richer than you.

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