Snope case is dead, Ocean State Tactical is on life support
Today, the Supreme Court denied cert in both Snope and Ocean State Tactical. Thomas and Kavanaugh wrote dissents. Alito and Gorsuch joined Kavanaugh in his dissent. Amy and John sided with the agenda driven left of the court. Because Ocean State Tactical is in an interlocutory state, they will have at least another two bites…

Don’t Steal Their Failures
I was in 2nd grade when I decided I was going to make a table and chairs. I had watched my grandfather make things. It couldn’t be that hard. With my mother and grandparents providing the material, I made a table and chair. It was a success. Was it sturdy enough for an adult to…

Interpreting at The Fort at No 4

Math Is Hard
My oldest son is on the spectrum. He has a job but does not have a license. He still lives with his mother, my ex-wife. When he was in middle school, I attended an IEP (individual education plan). This is where we lay out what accommodations he needs and how best to get him educated.…

Erasing History
Have you read the Constitution? Do you know what it says? The fourth article reads, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of our youth to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” That isn’t what you read? This is from an image in the Library…
