A Short Note

 Green Eagle has totally tuned out regarding anything having to do with the Supreme Court decision.  I can't imagine that there will be a single person who has anything to say about this abomination on either side that is not one hundred percent predictable.  This has been coming for decades now, and any Democrat who has pretended differently all this time was lying to themselves, just like they have lied to themselves about the Republican party being anything but a criminal, fascist cult determined to destroy multiparty rule.

I dunno. Let's give it a try.

Analysts keep telling us the prospective decision attacks the 14th Amendment. It doesn't.

My wife and I met and got married a little more than 20 years ago. If we had married here as teenagers, the marriage would have been annulled and we both would have been put in prison for violating Missouri Criminal Code Section 563.240 specifically outlawing interracial marriage.

That law was overturned as violating the 9th Amendment, which says rights not mentioned in the Constitution are protected by the Constitution. The 14th Amendment simply applies that protection to state, as well as federal, laws.

The new prospective decision attacks the 9th Amendment. It says that protection, the protection that allows us to stay married, only applies to rights "deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition".

That means the 9th Amendment no longer means what it says.

That is why conservatives can now attack other rights in addition to abortion decisions, rights that may not have been "deeply rooted" at the time. Like gay rights, same sex marriage, birth control.

And interracial marriage.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
