QUESTIONS ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION….VERSUS THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACTIONS
I’ll try to frame this in a very generic way. By that I mean, trying to stay — apolitical. There’s no intended bias, nor defense of any particular ideology, nor the advance of another.
Assuming you’re rational and logical and can argue a point without emotion, you should be able to ponder larger questions and perhaps also offer constructive engagement. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.
Here we go….

Aside from the moral and ethical questions on politically-targeted violence, in the most self-serving Machiavellian sense, the real lunacy with violent acts –including assassinations of public figures– is that they often produce the unintended consequence of elevating the profile of the victim. Violent acts usually backfire in terms of generating sympathy and popular support. If you’ve never heard of the victim before, well you’ve heard of him now. Who knows how many future book deals that’s worth or how many speaking engagements he’s going to enjoy, assuming he’s able to survive the ordeal.

I made three late futures bets for the 2025 NFL season.
Here’s the write-up posted today which explains my reasoning for the wagers.
Starting this week, I’ll also have a full write-up on the upcoming NFL games, along with my wagers and reasoning. Feedback is always welcome. Remember, this is all free and easy to access at Betcoin.ag.
I will also be posting a partial report (with picks) at this website. However, the full write-ups can only be seen at Betcoin.ag.
Writer’s Note: This will be my second consecutive season handicapping games and posting picks for Betcoin. This is my 13th season here at my website. Each week – usually starting on Wednesday and concluding late on Saturday night – I’ll post write-ups on the feature games, with my reasoning for each wager.
The 2025 NFL regular season kicks off this week (Thursday night). Here are three futures wagers I have bet. Odds are subject to change. However, these numbers were still available at both land-based and online sportsbooks.

MY REVIEW: “KILL TONY”
(PSSST….DON’T GIVE ME ANY IDEAS)
I just endured the cruel misfortune of watching the opening to a new Netflix special. Ten minutes was as much as I could stomach.
Kill Tony: Mayhem at Madison Square Garden is the name of this dreck purported to be a *comedy series* dredged entirely in shock humor punctuated with an unendurable strain of witless insults. Watching a brimming toilet overflow on Christmas morning would have been more amusing.

HOW TO COMBAT “AI” FAKERY (ON SOCIAL MEDIA)
Lately, I’ve been confronted with an alarming number of fake AI-generated images and false news stories.
One fabrication this week circulating online originated here in Las Vegas. The image (see example here) shows three music legends together onstage — Elton John, Celine Dion, and Neil Diamond (in a wheelchair). There’s even a story attached — completely false — that Diamond was serenaded in front of a live Las Vegas audience by the other two, who sang his classic “Sweet Caroline.”
It’s shameless trash.

QUESTIONS FOR SUPPORTERS OF ISRAEL
ORPHANS NOW, TERRORISTS LATER?
I’ve purposely avoided writing about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Not because this terrible tragedy isn’t important and doesn’t demand our attention. It’s mostly because the discord is so complex and combustible that debate and discussion becomes pointless. Given the intense depth of conviction on all sides of the conflict, I’m not sure there is a resolution. That said, I hope to come up with something thoughtful here that might achieve a consensus of opinion–even among those who disagree. At least, I’m willing to try and see how this goes.
