NOW ON SUBSTACK, MY THOUGHTS ON THE SUPREME COURT’S SLAUGHTER OPINION: Bringing Back the ‘Spoils System?’ Yes, Please. A better name would be an “accountability system.” And it’s just the beginning.

BUILD A S/F NOVEL AROUND THIS: Your Consciousness Jumps Forward and Backward in Time, Theories Suggest.
LIFTING IS GOOD: What Happens to Your Blood Pressure When You Lift Weights Regularly. “As it turns out, lifting weights does more than build a stronger frame. It can also benefit your heart. Research shows that just 30 to 60 minutes of resistance training per week can improve cardiovascular health and lower several risk factors that lead to heart disease, including high blood pressure.”
DISAPPOINTING: Stunner: SCOTUS Whiffs on Election Day Showdown, 5-4. “Two months ago, observers felt sure that the Supreme Court would uphold a unanimous Fifth Circuit decision ruling ballots received after Election Day invalid in federal elections. Even the New York Times sounded pessimistic that the challenge to Judge Andrew Oldham’s ruling would succeed. They noted that Justice Amy Coney Barrett sounded especially skeptical about Mississippi’s processes in ensuring the ballots had been legitimately cast on or before Election Day. . . . The NYT was right that Barrett was the key vote in this decision. They just got the direction incorrect. Barrett authored the decision overruling the Fifth Circuit, allowing ballots to be collected and counted after Election Day, in a 5-4 ruling in which Chief Justice John Roberts concurred.”
#JOURNALISM:
The Chaplains didn't have their "rank taken away"
I work with them daily, they replaced their rank on their uniforms with chaplains corp insignia to make them more approachable. The Chaplains corp likes this change. They're foremost counselors, not officers with command https://t.co/d9oSgZbU19

SOMEWHERE, WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT SMILES.
In a stunning blow to Our Democracy™, SCOTUS has ruled that unelected bureaucrats can’t do whatever they want and run federal agencies like their personal fiefdoms in perpetuity https://t.co/ThpUp9fNIh

But its just more Kristof bullshit anyway.
The hard truth is that USAID, with its constant support of often violent leftist regime change, caused a lot of death! https://t.co/85QrVUuxS4

I’m supportive of international public health aid when it comes to cheap interventions like dispensing HIV and TB and malaria meds. (I am a lib 🤷♂️ .)
However, Kristof is just making everything worse.
First, you can’t hysterically crybully Americans into supporting these… https://t.co/F5VmG9C2Vm

We were forced to pay for diesel in ambulances in Liberia? What in the world? Show this stuff to normal voters and watch their (and my own) befuddlement. "Wait, we were doing WHAT?" pic.twitter.com/fwLaWtv9rX

Africa wanted its independence, they got it, but somehow I am still obligated to buy them diesel fuel.
Neat. https://t.co/CKRVxIgMUk

LOL. New York Times Losing Its Mind Because GOP Women Are Having Kids. “In an investigation masquerading as a style piece, the Paper of Record published an unglued commentary, researched with the self-seriousness of Watergate, revealing that a whopping three women connected to the White House are preggers. At the same time!”
YEP:
America’s ruling class has performed another miracle.
They took the most basic truths in human civilization … crime needs punishment, borders need enforcement, schools should teach, welfare should be temporary, families matter, merit matters, and taxpayers should not be looted…

ANALYSIS: TRUE.
Want some truth?
If Haitians started voting Republican the Democrats would have them back in Haiti faster than you could say Port-au-Prince.

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.
HONESTLY, THAT’S A LOWBALL NUMBER I THINK:
Depending on the definition, maybe 3-5% of the US population is smart but seriously mentally unstable. That group heavily selects into politics, though. So maybe you're getting more like 10-15% among certain political types. That's enough to have a real influence on movements.
