Sparky looks happy to sit around as I finish my coffee, but if he sees a rabbit, he’s gone.
Presidential candidate Trump was frequently attacked for saying, “there are good people on both sides.” at the ‘Unite the Right’ rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Now we learn that the bad people on both sides were working together.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), started out as an organization to help poor Black folks in the South. That was back in the day. Now, the SPLC is the organization that decides who or what organizations are racist, or right-wing extremists. The FBI, corporate media and major banks respect their opinion.
Now we learn that the SPLC was paying the White supremacists that they were publicly opposing. That seemed to ludicrous to be true, and the corporate media isn’t explaining it, so I read the indictment from the Department of Justice.
I have been painting molding and trim in the solarium. Over time, it gets nicked up and scratched, so it’s a nice, limited project. Sparky doesn’t like it because I can’t stop to play. When I am sitting on the floor to get the low stuff, Sparky isn’t welcome to help. I have to send him away.
Now that the work is done, Sparky is happy to go outside and goof around. It’s so nice out, I’m tempted to get a beer and go back outside.
Student dies from self-inflicted gunshot in Valley Forge High School cafeteria
A friend teaches at Valley Forge. He called me a couple of hours later to tell me what happened and about the student. That’s not my story to tell, and the inside scoop is probably all over social media.
CNN: Trump accelerates research on psychedelic treatments
President Donald Trump on Saturday signed an executive order aimed at encouraging expanded research into psychedelic drugs, part of a broader push to explore emerging mental health treatments.
This may be the Trumpiest news ever.
Sparky and I look like a couple of convalescent old bastards, but we’re good. There isn’t a cloud in the sky, so we wanted to soak up some sun before it rains again. It’s only 40o outside, so we are bundled up.
Don’t say we’re snuggling. Sparky is pretty homophobic.
Activists Try to Remove 2,000 Beagles from Wisconsin Research Facility
On Saturday, April 18, at 8:52 am, the Dane County Sheriff’s Office responded to approximately 1000 activists converging on Ridglan Farms in the town of Blue Mounds.
This looks like a war zone. I adore beagles, but these chaotic people are violent thugs. If they had succeeded, they weren’t going to flee the scene with a beagle under each arm. The beagles would have been released into the wild to be eaten by coyotes or face some other grim death.
Sparky gets anxious when storms roll in, and this week, that seems to be twice per day. He’s also not nuts about getting a wet belly. Sparky was happy to get out when the weather cleared for a while.
