Meidas Touch “Normal”
Now This News – and while we are on the subject…
Robert Reich testifies
Unlike the “Really American” videos (which i am not dissing – they are just different), you can tell Glenn Kirschner is angry on his own show by what he says – calmly.
Lawrence takes a song to discuss immigration and land ownership … and opens up a real can of worms (including some whoopass for the GOP.) Brilliant.
Beau on appearances and reality
Now This News – Too little, no doubt. But something. And something we haven’t seen before.
Now This News – We probably all know this. But I couldn’t resist featurig the 3 B’s – of the Senate. I love them all.+

Armageddon Update – Nothing we all don’t know, but his style is – what it is.
Ring of Fire – I don’t think this was a recent decision on the part of Sen. Whitehouse. I think what’s recent is a DOJ he feels he can trust.
A group of California doctors calling themselves Vax’n8:
Mrs Betty Bowers – I missed this when it posted, but it’s not getting stale any time soon.
Beau – Denial is not a river in Egypt.
It’s a very tired day here in the CatBox. WWWendy and I finished our chores last night, and it should be fairly calm until Thursday. With both a shower aide and grocery delivery day, I’ll be spending a lot of time in my chair that day. I’m not looking forward to it. Tuesday is a Flush you Republicans Day, but so far, I haven’t had any to flush. Have a great day!

Short Takes:
From NY Times: One sunny day last spring, Bridgette Craighead was dancing the Electric Slide with three police officers in the grass next to the farmers’ market. It was the first Black Lives Matter protest this rural Virginia county had ever had, and Ms. Craighead, a 29-year-old hairdresser, had organized it.
She had not known what to expect. But when the officers arrived, they were friendly. They held her signs high, and stood next to her, smiling. Later an officer brought pizzas and McDonald’s Happy Meals. They even politely ignored her cousin’s expired license plate.
This, she thought, was the best of America. Police officers and Black Lives Matter activists laughing and dancing together. They were proving that, in some small way, their Southern county with its painful past was changing. They had gotten beyond the racist ways of older people. This made her feel proud. In a photograph from that day, Sgt. Thomas Robertson is smiling, and Ms. Craighead is standing behind him, her face tilted toward the sun and her fist held high.
She did not see the officers around Rocky Mount much after that. But in early January, someone sent her a photograph. It showed Officer Jacob Fracker and Sergeant Robertson posing inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the day the building was stormed by Donald J. Trump’s most fervent supporters.
At first, she did not believe it. Not her officers. But there they were, Officer Fracker giving the camera his middle finger. She confronted them on Facebook and they did not deny it. On the contrary, they were proud.

The Damage Report – Long-ish (under 6 minutes) but an important topic – and Ro Khanna.
Extremist military and veterans. I do apologize for no CC.
This is only a partial transcript.
Whoever coined the phrase “Once a Marine, always a Marine” did not have this in mind: A Marine Corps veteran using the Marine Corps flag to attack a Capitol police officer. Thomas Webster is one of more than 30 who have served in the military now charged with crimes at the Capitol.
“It doesn’t take an army to do what happened; it takes people with some skill set to lead those others,” said former FBI Agent Tom O’Connor, who spent two decades investigating extremists.
“Extremist elements in the United States have long tried to recruit former military and former law enforcement into their ranks for their skill set.”
And for the mindset of a culture trained to resort to violence when all else fails.
Army veteran Stewart Rhodes founded a group called Oath Keepers in 2009. “All you veterans out there, you’ve got to stand up,” he said in a video on the conspiracy theory-spreading website InfoWars. “Lead your local community in watching over their own backyards, over their own neighborhoods, and over their own towns.”
Now This News – The kids are all right.
Robert Reich on Guaranteed Income. (You know, the “work ethic” is really overrated. I have felt for decades that people who have wealth but choose to work just take jobs away from more needy – and often more competent – people.)
Trae on royalty. For a different take on the interview, check out this. Though neither seems to be aware that royals, particularly those in the direct line, do work, and do pay taxes.
The quote to be carved in stone on the exterior of the Obama Presidential Library has been chosen.
Today, we’re excited to unveil the words that will appear on the exterior of the Obama Presidential Center Museum—a place to learn from history that will also offer future leaders inspiration and tools to write chapters of their own.
