Big love to our liberal SCOTUS justices. It cannot be easy. Giants for democracy, standing among shills. If you listened to the embarrassing SCOTUS exchanges—especially with Alito—you could hear Justices Kagan & Brown-Jackson’s incredulity. Stay the course, good souls.

On Friday, I helped chaperone a 5th grade field trip to the historic sites of Phila. I signed up without realizing how it would affect me. Our present turmoil gives an extra emotional charge to standing in the room where the Constitution was debated and signed.
Never were truer words spoken. This isn’t a horse race. This is an epochal event that will determine our country’s direction. Will we affirm our commitment to freedom and democracy or stumble into mean-spirited dictatorship?
Here is Biden's message for the press corps: "I'm sincerely not asking you to take sides, but asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment."
"Antigone does not sacrifice herself for strictly religious reasons nor for humanity in general, but for a beloved brother, a limited act that is inseparable from the family context. It is family on which she insists and which forms the core of the drama." antigonejournal.com/2021/07/antigo…
In love with this Anthony Hopkins quote and even more in love with the mindset…
"My philosophy is: What people say about me is none of my business. I am who I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And that makes life easier.” Sir Anthony Hopkins
Most maddening advice ever: “Be yourself.”
“Every man's foremost task is the actualization of his unique, unprecedented and never-recurring potentialities, and not the repetition of something that another, and be it even the greatest, has already achieved.” ― Martin Buber

To me the saddest part of the decline of the Supreme Court is that the great Ketanji Brown Jackson was appointed to something so tarnished and broken. She got a lifetime membership to what is now the Federalist Society Rewards club.
As MSM scrambles to book interviews with toxic toad Bill Barr, no one notices what lies below his surface. He’s a pseudo-Katholic creep. I want him to disappear into the bubbling marsh. justice.gov/opa/speech/att…
