Planned Appearances

Art of the Day: My dream office. A marriage of old English style study with futuristic vision enveloped by nature itself – the hard wood floors, old leathery chairs, delicate rugs, ovacular egg-shaped open-air desk, classic texts carefully bound in rising bookcases, interrupted by open windows embracing the sky, trees, and stars surrounding us, embedding the work-space into God’s creation, where the archives of nature map the eternal truths onto the soul mirrored in the many texts within and the mind’s inner narratives of the workspace itself.

Book Recommendation: Princes of the Yen by Richard Werner reveals how industrial policy rescued post-war Japan and central bank financialization destroyed it.

Wisdom of the Day: “Banks can create money out of nothing.” Richard Werner.

Fastest catch ever?

Went back to the secret spot today. Caught a fish in four seconds. It was on camera, so you can’t question reality!

A video of my daughter made…

It’s flipping great, if I do say so myself!

It’s wild how history tends to rhyme.

00:01:20
Ilhan Omar is vile…

Vile really is an understatement…

I’m trying to find the longer video of this just to see a little more on the before and after, as though anything could possibly attenuate how awful this really is.

Her reaction in light of the double homicide in Washington DC yesterday.

Between her and James Comey calling for 86, it’s becoming patently obvious that the Democrat party is a party of domestic terrorists.

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

Well, well, well. Anita Dunn, Ron Clain and Jill Biden ran the Autopen. Where they given pardons? 🤔
Ed Martin is quickly becoming the hero that we had hoped Bongino and Kash would be. This link is a video of Anita Dunn a communist, one of many who are involved with Obama.

Planned Appearances

Art of the Day: A lifelong favorite of mine, a gift from my brother when young, reflecting the fearlessness of the working class folks who build those fancy castles in the sky, unafraid and unaffected sitting up miles in the sky just snacking on a little lunch. Their extraordinary achievement, their direct sense of success, and their fearlessness toward the risks of the world always fascinated me as a child, and to this very day, remains one of my favorite American photos.

Book Recommendation: Grapes of Wrath. A seminal text by a legendary American writer.

Wisdom of the Day: “A sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ.” John Steinbeck.

Planned Appearances

Art of the Day: A dinner in the vineyards. At the invite of a Burgundy wine maker, I once enjoyed a luscious dinner amidst the landscape dressed with grape vines, as we dined from locally made produce, the fresh baked bread of the local baker, the requisite mustard from Dijon and cheese from neighboring dairy farmers, accompanied by fresh fruit and vegetables from his neighbors’ gardens, and finished with wine made from the grapes of the vineyard itself, aged more than a decade in the French Oak barrels of the winery's own cellars. A most memorable way to dine.

Book Recommendation: Senator Nye: the forgotten Republican anti-war tradition.

Wisdom of the Day: “That in nearly every war it is the people who bear the burdens and that it is not the people who cause wars bringing them no advantage, but that they are caused by fear and jealousy coupled with the purpose of men and interests who expect to profit by them." Senator Gerald Nye.

The Barnes Brief: Friday, April 25, 2025

Planned Appearances

Art of the Day: Old books, the kind you can find undervalued at estate sales, or hidden away in new England antiquarian book stores (as I once found an original of Uncle Tom’s Cabin), or dusted deep in the cellars of great libraries. I began collecting as a kid, having to sell early when the family hit tough financial times later on, but my fondness for old books never left. The rich leather binding, the craftsmanship of the book binders of old, the delicate care of a bookstore owner or devoted librarian, and the buried truths within these texts penned and published from a different time and place, where the written word mattered, whispering to us truths too occasionally forsaught or forgot. 

Book Recommendation: War Is a Racket. The infamous text of General Smedley Butler representing the rightful protest against the war machine after witnessing the horrors of World War 1.

Wisdom of the Day: “War is but a matter of profit for the few.” Senator Gerald Nye.
