Some day I'll hear something intelligent on the news.

 But honestly, it's been so long since I have heard anything remotely close, I don't know if I'll recognize it when I do hear it...

Texas may well be a game changer - this is worth watching...


Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is asking the Supreme Court to instruct legislatures in four states President-elect Joe Biden won to throw out what he calls "tainted" results and select their own slate of presidential electors. The Republican-controlled legislatures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin would then be free to choose electors who could vote for Trump when the Electoral College meets on December 13.
  
At least 17 states that voted for Trump have signed a brief supporting the Texas lawsuit, which claims that the four states in question didn't follow election laws correctly in administering the 2020 election. Trump has also filed a motion to intervene in the case.
The U.S. Constitution permits states to decide their own laws on running elections and a variety of legal experts have harshly criticized the Texas lawsuit, with some arguing the Supreme Court won't even hear the case because the state doesn't have standing to sue its sister states in this way.

It's just grandstanding. Stop it.

After the tumult of 2020, who can say what 2021 has in store for us? Still, some things remain the same, like the annual color of the year announcement from Pantone, the Carlstadt, NJ company known for forecasting design trends. 

For 2021, the color authority went with two colors: a sunny yellow called Illuminating and a muted shade dubbed Ultimate Gray. The double selection marks the second time Pantone has presented two colors as its color of the year. The last time was in 2016, with Rose Quartz, a shade of pink, paired with Serenity blue to signal “gender equality and fluidity.

Gender equality and fluidity. Seriously.

Holding the phone in your hand while at a red light could cost you the same fine as texting while driving under a new bill in the State of New Jersey.
 
The proposed measure, S1602, aims to reduce distracted driving, which has been the leading cause of fatal crashes in New Jersey since 2011. More than 1,372 crashes were blamed on cell phone use in 2018, and caused at least one fatal crash that year, according to state Department of Transportation data.

There's nothing funny about personal safety. 
I have one in my truck, and one in Barb's car. 

Readers here have been telling me that not only are they buying them for themselves,  they're buying them for their kids, their girlfriends and their wives. 
 
I think that's a great idea. Better safe than sorry is the best way to be these days...


There are a couple different strengths available here - find the one for you:

Speaking of Volcanos, 
how about this cool shit?


There is a restaurant in Spain named El Diablo, that grills its food over a Volcano. This dormant volcano has been peacefully gurgling below the surface since its last eruption in 1824

This clinic is the largest in the entire country. There are over 42,000 veterans here in the Villages that are registered here.

I went to the VA Clinic here yesterday for my annual check-up. These guys are serious - getting in was like trying to enter the White House, but once you are in, they could not be nicer. What a great job Trump's done in turning the VA around in the last coupla years, but he won't get credit for it from the jerkoff media, that's for sure.

Police said Wednesday occupiers around the Red House in Mississippi have been stockpiling weapons and making 'threats' to community members, the media and police in the zone. Anyone who can is being told to avoid the area while Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell issued a plea to demonstrators Wednesday to 'put down your weapons' and warned officers will use force if necessary. 
The same day, people were seen setting up more barricades including spike strips made of boards and nails and armed guards were stationed in the area. The Kinney family have owned the Red House since the 1950s but took out a new mortgage to pay defense lawyers for their son, William III. 
The house went into foreclosure and was sold to a developer at a 2018 auction and the family say they were evicted at gunpoint three months ago. A group of activists have camped at the home ever since to express their outrage against gentrification and the eviction of the black and Indigenous family. 
The outrage came to a head Tuesday when the property owner complained people were trespassing and officers showed up and made several arrests.

Our world is most definitely fractured.

I'll leave you today with this to think about for the rest of the day. Don't hurt yourself.
