Many people will recall the years when we were lectured about how it is important to keep religion out of politics while Mr. Trump was being supported by some Christians. It was suggested that the IRS ought to review the non-profit status of any churches making political statements.
Our Vice President, Kamala Harris, recently recorded a political message to be rebroadcast in 300 churches in Virginia. Predictably, we get crickets from the same people that were previously concerned about mixing religion and politics.
I rarely agree with former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg when it comes to the law. I have found myself in agreement with her several times when she was speaking outside of her role as a Justice.
Katie Couric recently acknowledged censoring Justice Ginsburg for the Justice's own good in Ms. Couric's recent memoir. As it stands, I largely agree with Justice Ginsburg's comments on the topic of people kneeling at sporting events.
Ginsburg went on to say that such protests show a 'contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life.' She said: 'Which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from ... as they became older they realize that this was youthful folly. And that's why education is important.'

'Would I arrest them for doing it? No,' she told Couric. 'I think it's dumb and disrespectful. I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag burning.' She added: 'I think it's a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn't lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act.'
When Couric pushed further, asking if she believes athletes are 'within their rights to exercise those actions,' Ginsburg replied: 'Yes. If they want to be stupid, there's no law that should be preventive.'
'If they want to be arrogant, there's no law that prevents them from that. What I would do is strongly take issue with the point of view that they are expressing when they do that,' she added.
Indeed.
Good news for those interested in effective technologies that reduce carbon emissions. Nuclear power is the only productive path forward, in my opinion. These microreactors will allow smaller communities to maintain the productivity caused by cheap power. Faster, please!
Reason number 494,623 to not trust the American mainstream media. Dude shows up to say "I like Dave Chappelle". He does not use foul language. He does not physically abuse anyone. People protesting Netflix do use foul language towards him and physically assault someone that was with him. The MSM makes it sound like the dude was the problem. He wasn't. But clearly the MSM still is.
According to this report, Target is set to close a major Target store in downtown San Francisco due to losses associated with shoplifting. I saw a later story where Target said the location was not closing. That doesn't change the massive shoplifting that is being created by the policies of the San Francisco mayor and prosecutor. The abuse being heaped upon those Target employees and the city police is unconscionable.
