Supreme Court rules that gambling is more "essential" than going to church
In Nevada casinos can operate at 50% capacity but churches can only have 50 attendees at services. The Supreme Court ruled, 5 to 4 with Roberts in the majority, that this is ok. Oddly the Constitution says we have the right to exercise our religion but it no where says we have a right to gamble. The reality is that the folks on the Supreme Court don't think religion has any value and they don't actually follow the Constitution any more. What's clear is that the Court will defend religious liberty in only a very narrow sense; for example it only ruled that Trump changing Obama's dem... more »
It's now racist to say that museums will show works by whites
In San Francisco, where Blacks overrepresented in the homeless population by a factor of 6, the senior curator of painting and sculpture bath the SF Museum of Modern art has resigned. His crime? Alleged white supremacy. What did he do? At the end of a talk about how the museum needed to diversify its content to reflect artists of other races he said “don’t worry, we will definitely still continue to collect white artists.” Of course this is to be expected in a society that says that "All Lives Matter" is racist. The reality is that these left wing loons are the racist ones. Not ... more »

DONALD TRUMP, A FORCE FOR "STABILITY"?
I don't know how seriously to take reports like this: On the second Friday in June, a group of political operatives, former government and military officials, and academics quietly convened online for what became a disturbing exercise in the fragility of American democracy. The group, which included Democrats and Republicans, gathered to game out possible results of the November election, grappling with questions that seem less far-fetched by the day: What if President Trump refuses to concede a loss, as he publicly hinted recently he might do? How far could he go to preserve his p... more »

COVID-Wise, Will All Of America Be Like Texas? Or Much Worse-- Like Florida?
On Friday, Texas had a relatively good day in the new case department, "only" 8,552 confirmed new cases. Yesterday there were 7,735 more, bringing the total to 393,683 in total-- 13,577 cases per million Texans. The population of the state is around 29.9 million, about half as many people as Italy, which is one of the hardest-hit countries in the world. But with twice as many people, Italy only has 245,864 cases (4,067 cases per million Italians). So far 35,102 Italians have died and both new cases and new deaths have petered out (only 274 new cases yesterday and 5 new deaths). Th... more »

So says photographer Ben Moon (quoting writer David Dudley) in this deeply moving tribute to Denali, his late dog. It suggests we can learn a lot from dogs, including the best way to greet the ones we love. The soulful, and at times humorous, short video recalls Moon and Denali's adventures together- from the carefree moments to the deathly realizations and back again- narrated from Denali's perspec... more »

A huge victory for equal justice under the law. "Hate" hoaxes, Fake News and false narratives must stop.

"Are There Any Questions?"
"Are There Any Questions?" by Robert Fulghum "Are there any questions?" An offer that comes at the end of college lectures and long meetings. Said when an audience is not only overdosed with information, but when there is no time left anyhow. At times like that you sure do have questions. Like, "Can we leave now?" and "What the hell was this meeting for?" and "Where can I get a drink?" The gesture is supposed to indicate openness on the part of the speaker, I suppose, but if in fact you do ask a question, both the speaker and the audience will give you drop-dead looks.

Transparency International Silent On Jailed Transparency Journalist Assange
Berlin, Germany - On a cool July day, the Berlin neighborhood where Transparency International’s global headquarters is situated feels a thousand miles away from London’s Belmarsh Prison.

The Arts And Symbolism In Mexico’s Feminist Movement
Last August, during a press conference with Mexico City’s police chief, a group of young women were seen breaking windows and throwing pink glitter in the police chief’s face. This was to demand justice for a teenager allegedly raped by four police officers. The episode sparked what became known as the glitter revolution, a new wave of feminist activism in Mexico with connections to other feminist collectives worldwide.

On Gibbon’s Theory of the Roman Empire’s Fall
On 4 September AD 476, the barbarian king Odoacer deposed and replaced the last emperor Romulus Augustulus, and brought the Roman Empire to an end. But why was the 500-year old Roman Empire toppled so easily? With his *The History Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire*, published in the eighteenth century, Edward Gibbon popularized the view that the rise of Christianity had weakened the pagan principles of the Roman Empire; he sneers at Christian culture, and is full of praise for paganism and the religion of Islam.

Defiling And Destroying
Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner argues that Donald Trump and William Barr have declared war on China because they know Trump is going to lose.
