The Red Cloak Is Not Cosplay But a Fashion Freudian Slip
The title is from Miguel. I’ve written about “Black Fatigue”, a physiological condition of being done with “that” shit. It is that entire situation where I have gone from a person who doesn’t see skin color to somebody that treats it as a threat indicator, every time. I’m old, I’m tired of this game. I’m…

How To Lie
Ms. Google will try to get me to read “news” from different sources. Yesterday, she showed me one of many articles claiming that the Trump administration is reacting differently to the riots in LA than they did to the “riot” on January 6th. Paraphrasing Mr. Dunn, “Orange man bad. He pardoned those evil J6ers that…

SCOTUS Follow Up
Yesterday’s article was a surprise to me. I started the post with one mindset, and ended in a different place. Occasionally, it helps to talk out your issues. It started with my statement, Snope should have been GVRed. Why? Because the Supreme Court has already done a gun ban case. It is a slam dunk,…

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.…

This Nation’s Historical Tradition of …
Trump v. Wilcox on application for stay was granted. It was a 6-3 opinion. The usual suspects were on the wrong side of history, again. Justice Kagan wrote the dissent. For 90 years, Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, 295 U. S. 602 (1935), has stood as a precedent of this Court. And not just any…

Government Interference
We often talk about government interference. We are forced to talk about race, constantly. Just as most gun control laws are racist in nature, designed to disarm blacks so that racist assholes could murder them, marriage license serve a similar purpose. What is a marriage license? In short, it is the government’s permission to perform…

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…
