"Trump’s campaign of pervasive lying succeeded in eroding public confidence in an election in which there was no evidence of significant fraud."

Facebook wouldn’t allow me to post an article that had a #politics tag on it yesterday. Claimed it was against Community Standards. But this? They actually put this crap on my timeline. Clowns.
Sometimes a problem is more valuable than its solution. Immigration is on them now.

Clarence Thomas attacks Brown v. Board ruling amid 70th anniversary
...
Why it matters: Thomas attacked the Brown decision in a concurrence opinion that allowed South Carolina to keep using a congressional map that critics say discriminated against Black voters.
...
The 9-0 [Brown v. Board] decision declared the "separate but equal" doctrine unconstitutional and helped usher in the Civil Rights Movement...

-Emcee in Cabaret.
Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling was cloaked in the same darkness that the character in Cabaret echoed so well. Frightening.

"There is indeed a sense of power and entitlement coming from MAGA Republicans as they impose new limits on their fellow Americans and call those constraints freedom."

Bought myself an early birthday present. Going to teach myself how to play the mandolin. Been playing guitar for over forty years - these frets are so tiny! My first song I'll learn is going to be Take Me Out to the Ballgame!
Alito's cavalier attitude relit an anger I thought I left well behind me. Judicial reform is so overdue - for lots of reasons.

A commencement worth the read. The man isn't perfect. Unlike his opponent, he doesn't claim to be perfect. You can't read his words and not believe he's working for all of us. The contrast is stark.

The Home of Justice Alito's home displayed an upside down flag on January 17th 2021 a symbol used by many to protest the stealing of the 2020 election.
Asked for comment the Jusitce blamed his wife, and the nasty neighbor who had offensive signs in his yard
Now Alito gets to decide if it is okay for a losing President to attempt to steal an election via an insurrection

This is a deeply disturbing story about a current member of the Supreme Court.

"Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is sitting in the defense section between Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Eric Trump."
Yeah, he surrounds himself with the best people.

People's obsessions for the good old days just leaves me perplexed. As Carly Simon once sang - "these are the good old days."

The only cure for gullible is knowledge. Interesting article in today's Washington Post on how AI could be used to disrupt an election. Watch the video on this page - amazingly deceptive and not real.

Had a fun time watching the Phillies play yesterday afternoon. I made a shirt for Brandon Marsh and my wife and I dropped it off at the dugout prior to the game. Ended up on the Phillies home page!
