SCOTUS – They’re Eating Their Own
Thank goodness that Obama was only able to put two justices on the Supreme Court. Kagan and Sotomayor were both nominated by Obama. Both were highly questionable nominations. I am grateful that Garland didn’t make it onto the court; that would have been insanely bad for this country. He did enough damage as AG. Sotomayor…

Medical Marvel
I spent a good portion of my early life in Canada, and so I have a decent understanding of the culture and history of the place. One of the things that was already beginning to fail, long before I left Canada to return to America, was the Canadian medical system. Let’s talk. Let me start…

Cops, Good and Bad(ish)
The differences are amazing. A few months ago, somebody was shooting in the back forty. This caused somebody to report gun shots in the area. Must be some out of stater who has no ability to keep their nose in their own business. Because it was a “shots heard”, the local cops, who I consider…

Keep Your Friends Close
There are people who blame their actions on “The ’tism’. I had not heard this term until recently. My oldest son is “on the spectrum.” He barely functions, not from emotional out bursts, but because he just isn’t mature enough. My youngest son is also “on the spectrum”, he is high function, going to collage,…

The Rabbit Hole of Legal Speak
The district courts have been attacking the Trump administration wherever possible. Many have overstepped their authority to intrude on the Article II executive. A judge in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts decided that he was a final arbitrator of United States foreign policy. To that end, he issued a preliminary…

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,…

SCOTUS, a rant
During the term, the Supreme Court has multiple conferences. The Friday conference is when they decide which cases will be granted cert, which will be denied, and other issues relating to cases, outside of opinions. On the following Monday, they publish their order list. This is a list of all the cases they have an…
