Something To Think About - 3/15/25

The late Michael Landon believed that “Right from the start, we are dying. Live to the limit every minute of every day. Whatever you want to do, do it now.”

Dropping charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams who has been accused of graft and pardoning convicted former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and then signing an Executive Order allowing U.S. companies to bribe overseas officials in order to get business is just wrong. We understand that some of this is a rebound on the lawfare that was practiced against Trump, and some is a quid pro quo for cooperation with I.C.E., but it’s a step, or three, too far. Bribing state officials here and abroad is wrong. Period. Finally, we note that four of the past ten Illinois Governors served time for fraud or corruption. Some people deserve to be prosecuted and go to jail.

The Trump family has made $80million since the election selling Trump watches, crypto, sneakers and other trinkets oftentimes with Trump himself voicing the ads hawking his wares. We recognize that it’s legal, certainly when compared to the Biden’s selling their access to power for decades, but we still think that it’s a poor image for the Leader of the Free World to personally profit from his popularity while in office. After leaving the White House, sure, make all you can, but not while sitting in the oval office. It’s called “public service” for a reason.

It’s been said that “Upon achieving victory, the problem with riding high is that the air gets pretty thin, and you can get lost in the clouds.”
