Do You Have a Warrant?
We have heard, over and over again, how some scum was released back into society to do more evil. In my opinion, the worst of these is when a criminal alien is released into society when the authorities know he has a detainer. Why would anybody allow someone who was picked up for a crime…

I have heard this song many times. I love Eartha’s voice, and her ability to tell a story. This is the first time I’ve seen her singing. Wow.

Universal Injunction and Justice Sotomayor
Justice Sotomayor used to be the least talented Justice on the Supreme Court. Ketanji Brown Jackson said, “Hold my beer!” and took that title. During the oral arguments, Sotomayor asked: So, when a new president orders that because there’s so much gun violence going on in the country and he comes in and he says,…

A.A.R.P v Trump, 605 U.S. ___(2025) No. 24A1007
I wasn’t expecting this opinion this quickly. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the 15th, they issued their opinion on the 16th. It is only 24 pages long.

Black Fatigue
I learned situational awareness very quickly one night at University. It was sometime after 2300, I was talking to a co-worker at the entrance to his cubicle. Since I was focused on our conversation, I wasn’t aware that somebody had walked up behind me. My first indication was when I felt somebody pulling my knife…

Court Games
Judge Boasberg is a rogue judge. He has found himself as the judge of many cases dealing with Trump. For some reason, the magic lottery machine picks his name at “random” when the case involves Trump. While it is true that you should never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity,…

Coding Styles and Methods
My formal education is as a computer scientist. I was lucky enough to get this education at one of the cusps of computer development. My Mentor went through a computer science program just 4 years earlier. There were classes he took that were not even offered in my program. The change was in moving from…
