• Billboard magazine detailed the work by Paul McCartney to get the Beatles last song Now and Then produced and orchestrated then finally released Friday. The very next day, the Rolling Stones’ new album topped the charts. For crying out loud, how far back did we set the clocks this past weekend?

• Politico says Generation Z in their early twenties are voting in much larger numbers than their older counterparts. They were literally raised by the cell phone. Generation Z believes that while driving, if you press your gas pedal and your brake pedal at the same time, the car will take a screen shot.

• FTX founder Sam Bankman Fried was found guilty on seven counts of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering. Here’s how it works. In a crypto-currency exchange, people with investment experience meet in the morning with people with money, and by the end of the day they exchange places.

• NBC News reports the Israeli-Hamas war has become a flashpoint on US college campuses with anti-Semitic chants breaking out in some of the protests. It prompted new etiquette guidelines. You never ask a woman her age, or a man his salary, or a Harvard student their grandfather’s rank in the SS.

• The GOP House passed aid to Israel Thursday and paid for it by taking money from billions to hire new IRS agents. The Senate bill aims to aid Israel, Ukraine and seal the Southern border. By the time the bill makes it out of conference, both wars will be over and we’ll all be living in New Venezuela.

• The NY Post reports U.S. and Russia UN diplomats argued bitterly over Ukraine in the Security Council, raising a threat of World War III. The General Assembly had a much bigger danger on its mind. The UN has asked Israel to use electric tanks and fighter jets so that it’s safer for the environment.

• President Biden hosted a Summit of the Americas conference Friday. He had an embarrassing gaffe on TV when Joe couldn’t remember Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s name while addressing him. In Biden’s defense, Trudeau could have been in blackface, it WAS just after Halloween.

• Elon Musk introduced a new AI server connected to Twitter called Grok by playfully asking it how to manufacture cocaine from coca leaves. Elon was kidding of course but it got L.A.’s attention. Unless you can manufacture it, the only way to get free cocaine is to wear a really short skirt to the party.

• The KC Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins in Germany Sunday in a stadium full of football crazy Germans, where, during last year’s New England Patriots game, the entire stadium sang Sweet Caroline together. I doubt if the rest of Europe will read the warning signal. The Germans are singing again.
