Yesterday was reasonably calm, and I got some things done, but still have some de-cluttering to do. I did succeed in setting up my meds for the ext two weeks so that all I have to do is remember to take them – and I’m fairly good at that.

Short Takes –
Crooks and Liars – Sixteen Weapons, Tons Of Ammo Found In Hotel Room Near Coors Field
Quote – A maid working at Denver’s Maven Hotel tipped off law enforcement about weapons in one of the rooms there. Police got a search warrant, found 16 long guns, body armor, and over a thousand rounds of ammunition in the room, which featured a balcony overlooking the downtown area. The Maven Hotel is not too far from Coors Field, which will host the All-Star game on Tuesday. Click through for preliminary details (which may get updaed). The sad thing is that if I hadn’t seen “Coors Field” I might have passed ths by.
The Hill – Judge grills attorneys over suit challenging Michigan results
Quote – “I need to point out here that my concern is that the counsel here have submitted affidavits that suggest and make the public believe that there was something wrong with the election and that is what this is all about,” said the judge, who was appointed by former President Obama. “That’s what these affidavits were designed to show, that there was something wrong in Michigan, there was something wrong in Wayne County.” Click through for some of the back-and-forth. Kudos to Judge Parker. We need more of this.
Neighbors See Trump Waiting by Mailbox for Reinstatement Notice
Quote – Mr. Klugian said that he sympathized with Trump because he remembered “checking the mail a lot when I first retired…. If you don’t have anything to do, the mail becomes kind of the high point of your day,” he said. “He has to get into gardening or volunteering. Something. He can’t go on like this.” Click through for details. Sounds like straight news to me, but with Andy … how can you tell?

Don Winslow – Don Winslow Films – #LaurenBoebertIsAMonster
CNN – [John Dean] says he’d pay to handle Trump’s deposition. I have a very sift spot forpeople who have made mistakes, including extremely stupid ones, and LEARNED from than and turned around. John is one. Another is Monica Lewinsky.
Liberal Redneck – I’m from TN and LAWD I CAN’T STAND MARSHA BLACKBURN. (Taylor Swift is acually a liberal.)
Beau – Boebert is no Einstein, but I have administered GED testing and read the tests and getting it is NOT easy. And, yes, apparently it took her several tries to get it. However, it still is not that easy (and it certainly is not the same questions every time one tries) and Istill assert that GEDs are respectable and arw to be respected by Democrats, among others. And certaily by the military. I don’t know whether the military is accepting GED students now, but at the time I was working with it they weren’t. I have advised GED grads nterested in the military to go to the nearest and cheapest community college and take and pass one course – any course. Then, their educational level becomes “some college” and bypasses the GED question altogether. And I still consider that good advice. (But I hope Boebert doesn’t take it.)
Glenn Kirschner – NY DA Trump Org Indictment Watch – First Criminal Indictment Expected Soon. Won’t likely be the Last
Now This News – UN Releases Report on Global Systemic Racism (sometimes the word “state” is used where we would say “nation” or “country” – the UN realli is talking world wide.)
Right Wing Watch has been kicked out of YouTube. So I’m going to start looking for them on Vimeo. This one features “prophet” Chuck Pierce (who is pretty clearly delusional.) Update: Yes it’s back already. Overwhelming support. Article tomorrow.)

Pigeon loses ability to fly. He adapts by becoming one of the dogs.
Beau – Let’s talk about how the Trump years impacted capitalism…. – This is priceless.
Glenn Kirschner – NY DA Vance to Indict Trump Org. Will this Inspire Other Jurisdictions to Finally Indict Trump? (I guess now we know what it takes to make Glenn be a smart-ass. “Tip of the Weisselberg” indeed.)
