There is going to be sustained 25 mph wind from the west with gusts to the 60’s this AM. Not ideal golf weather at all.
BAH!!! My bro and I are teeing off at 0845 at the CC for the first annual Windy Open. Each hole’s playing rules will be determined by a coin flip, either stroke play or match play. This means that there are two tournaments in one. One for total score on the stroke play holes, and one for most holes won in match play. There could be a tie!
Enjoy this Windy Open open!

Some are tossing out the idea that the freight ship in the Suez Canal lost steering control due to cyber attack, and that it had happened before (according to Beck).
@ Bunk X:
On the Daily Mail original report (yesterday) it did say it had happened before to the same ship. That time it sailed sideways into a ferry. Fortunately no one was killed. In the comments to that story I saw at least two from people who said they had captained that kind of ship and windage was always an issue. Also, the wind (50 knot gusts, 30-40 knot wind) blew up a lot of sand which cut visibility quite a bit. There were initial reports that they lost power, but the company said, after investigation, that did not happen. So far, I don’t see any thing to suspect other than bad luck.
Today’s news seems to be that shipping firms who are re-routing around Africa are requesting assistance from the U.S. navy to protect them from pirates.
This has GOT to be unconstitutional
DHS Preparing to Use Private Contractors to “Scour Public Data and Social Media” To Compile Dissident Citizens for Watch List and No Fly Lists
From the description it appears DHS is going to pay “big tech” (Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter, etc.), via contracts, to hire and organize internal monitoring teams to assist the government by sending information on citizens they deem “dangerous.”

FAKE NOTICE ON GLOBAL BOOKING STOPPAGE
MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company is aware of a fake notice circulating in the market which erroneously states that we are not taking any bookings for cargo transportation. MSC wishes to reassure customers that we are open for business and that there is no worldwide stoppage of bookings.
Separately, due to the Suez Canal blockage, we may envisage some missed sailings and adapt the volume of bookings we can accept, according to the reduced capacity available. However, this would only be done on a case by case basis, where necessary, on certain trades.

Stephen Miller to launch a new legal group to give Biden fits
Former Trump White House policy adviser Stephen Miller, known for his hard-line immigration policies and conservative culture war postures, is launching a new legal group. And he’s looking to use it to make Joe Biden’s life miserable.
The group, which will be known as America First Legal, will help organize Republican attorneys general against perceived executive branch abuses in addition to filing lawsuits of its own, according to six people familiar with the planning.

How C.S. Lewis Predicted the Woke Nightmare
“We now have an intelligentsia which, though very small, is very useful to the cause of Hell.” -C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
A masterful piece of religious prose disguised as satire, C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters is a series of messages from senior devil Screwtape to his protégé Wormwood on how best to corrupt mortals. Originally released during World War II, its tight 175 pages provide charming, timeless wisdom.
In an addendum released shortly before the author’s death in 1963 – Screwtape Proposes a Toast – Lewis pivots from dispensing universal wisdom to directly criticizing social trends of his day, trends which have gone from mere whispers on college campuses 60 years ago to become orthodoxy with the power of law today. Reading it today, it feels like the author was more prophet than professor.
In the 15-page essay – full text available here – the devil Screwtape outlines how the term democracy can be warped into destroying excellence, first in the halls of education then to society at large to make sure everyone stays “equal.”
“Democracy is the word with which you must lead them by the nose,” Screwtape tells his fellow devils. “The basic principle of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be ‘undemocratic.’”

I despise this man
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, has appeared to claim credit for the decision to quickly develop vaccines against COVID-19, in remarks that are sure to anger Donald Trump.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made the comment in an interview with CNN for a special on Sunday, diving into the details of America’s pandemic response.
‘When I saw what happened in New York City, almost over-running of our healthcare systems, and that’s when it became very clear that the decision we made on January 10 to go all out and develop a vaccine, may have been the best decision that I’ve ever made with regard to intervention as the director of the institute,’ Fauci said.
Fauci’s remarks seemed to gloss over the key role played by pharmaceutical companies and Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s program to deliver vaccines to the public in record time.
