The app for independent voices
For the past while, my daughter has insisted on praying before dinnertime and including this line: “Dear God, I pray for the rotten people.” At first I thought this was sweet, you know, love your enemies and all. When I asked her what “rotten people” means to her, she said, “You know, the people who are dead and rotting.” 🤔 I fail to understand the minds of children sometimes.
CNN reports “millions” of people attended this Saturday’s marches against Trump and Musk, the first large-scale protests during his second term. Google Search interest in the protests rivals levels last seen after the Women’s March in 2017

Over the past year I have obsessed over one single question: “How do I stay relevant?” I think about this constantly—not just for myself, but mainly in general. I put myself in the shoes of students and other professionals and wonder: "What should we learn today to be truly valuable tomorrow?”
I bet on technical depth. I wrote a blogpost …
Jim Janknegt’s paintings don’t look like anyone’s but his own. A very American approach to Catholic subjects. I love God the Father in this image, and the wholly unexpected appearance of the angels elevating the Virgin Mary into heaven.

“If he comes out last year he’s easily a top-10 pick. Kirby Smart loves, loves Malaki Starks. Real great reputation.”
“I still think he’s one of the most valuable defensive players in this draft because he can play safety and/or down as a sub defender. He’s still the best safety. Hell of an athlete, great kid. He’ll know everything there…

Pandemic Preparedness Racket and DOD. Grand Princess Quarantine Orders FOIA, Part 2. By Sasha Latypova (08/19/24)
Part 1:
Part 2:
In Part 2, Latypova writes: "The government's ability to declare pandemics based on nothing enables imprisonment without due process and must be nullified."
Latypova doesn't pull any punches and she provides the receipts. Her concluding paragraph does not mince words (she never does!):
From my own very simple perspective (informed by the history of totalitarianism), I can state with certainty that following the “health” commissars to the secondary crime scene (detention center) is a bad idea no matter what law you think applies.
In theory, there may exist some remnants of the constitutional procedure for you to theoretically appeal your undue imprisonment. But once you are locked up by the Red Guards, do you think that the judges that have sided with the Red Guards to date will look at your case fairly and apply the Constitution?
I personally would not test this theory.
