Update from Lugano

Daily update: I slept in until 11:22. I woke up and actually thought my phone was broken when I saw the time.

It’s not just that I slept in that late. I went to bed at 11 o’clock last night, so I slept over 12 hours. Which is a first. Not straight
of course, I still woke up four times. One of the times I woke up, I had no idea where I was. Couldn’t find the bathroom. And then couldn’t find my way back to the bed! Those blackout curtains are powerful.

It’s raining today. Another reason why I love Florida. Even when it rains in Florida, it’s typically still warm and fun to walk around in the rain. Here it’s relatively chilly, so when you get wet, it feels even worse.

Can’t see the mountains, so even though you’re surrounded by the beauty of nature, it just looks like a cloud.

Walked around with Matt Kohrs - he’s got a great financial channel on Rumble. We had a couple of long espresso. which are still shorter than a standard espresso in North America.

Had a club sandwich, which was the best I have ever tasted in my entire life.

It’s nice here. Nothing I could ever get used to. The wealth and opulence does not feel of this world. People driving Lamborghinis (which I find surprising, because they are not the small European vehicles I expected to see). People wearing glasses that cost more than most people’s monthly salary. Things being expensive for the sake of being expensive, serving as the “financial filter” to keep this area what it is.

The nature is beautiful, although I don’t think the vast majority of the people out here have any interest in it other than viewing it from a cafe. 😆

The attitude difference in the service industry is astonishing. Here, it’s almost as though you are lucky if you get service from waiters. Whereas in America, the pressure is totally inverted… If you don’t continually top off water, ask if everything is OK, you feel like you are neglecting your customer. I’m not sure which is better, though I would err on the side of service, though somewhere in the middle is the golden rule.

I am now also thoroughly convinced they only give Americans “Americano” Coffee because they are just trying to ruin an espresso for the Americans. 😂

It is definitely a different pace of life out here. Not sure if it is conditioning, or genetics, but it does not move anywhere near fast enough for me.

Getting ready to meet the Rumble team at 5 o’clock to go over event details. Hopefully we’ll get a stream on tonight. Hopefully we’ll get a vlawg out.

I just read another story of another foreign illegal driver having killed citizens through negligent driving.

Watching some of the same old fighting on X, but feeling a little detached from it. Kind of a good feeling.

End of meandering thoughts. Going to see if I can go for a jog or hit the treadmill.

Godspeed, and talk soon!

Tyler Robinson hearing

Twiggs’ testimony: Probable cause established. Period.

It’s possible Lance is lying through his teeth.

But this testimony, in conjunction with all of the other evidence, establishes probable cause without question.

That said, listening to Lance testify, I am becoming even more convinced that he - and others - were involved in the assassination.

I. THE INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

They raise the flag of liberty, replacing the image of the King, but the painting speaks more than just that celebration of the Revolution. A mother holds up\ her child. Women dance. Young and old alike volunteer. but look a bit closer, and you see the true source of the revolution: as the aristocrats walk away, the commoiners lift the flag of liberty. The founding Fathers weren’t just a few folks writing documents; it was the ordinary people taking dramatic action, peopling the volunteer army, sacricing for boycotts, smuggling information and goods across enemy lines, voicing their independence in taverns and community halls, taking their freedom into their hands for themselves and their posterity, the true founders of America.

B. Wisdom of the Day

"If all else fails, I will retreat up the Valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region, and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger." George Washington.

I. THE INTRODUCTION

*Note: Limited tickets available. 1776lawcenter.com

A. Art of the Day

The blue heron showed up outside my rental home here in upstate New York, my totem according to some native tribal traditions. The totem represents your spirit animal, your analogue in the animal world. A few common tidbits of this totem as “heron medicine” — know yourself to uncover your gifts and discover your limits; follow your intuition; embrace self-reliance and feel free to be your own, unafraid of the challenges that come to the nonconformist; be a place for unique wisdom, expressing the best of that most American spirit — independence.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“You can’t kill your way out of every security concern.” J.D. Vance

Weekend Barnes Brief: June 5, 2026

I. THE INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day
“She’ll be riding 7 white horses when she comes, when she comes. She’ll be riding around the bend when she comes, when she comes.” So may father sang some version of his own of the famed spiritual son that used to echo off the ridges and mountains and riverbeds that make Chattanooga home as returned from our morning paper route beneath the mountains and by this famed river bend.

B. Wisdom of the Day

"From the hands of the mother and daughter, Through the mists of the past revealing, The herbs and the cinnamon water, Hold all the mysteries of healing." The Sorrow Songs, preceding the Blues.
