CNN: Racist texts referring to ‘picking cotton’ sent to Black people across US after election
Be careful with your comparisons
Passing Dad's television (showing Fox News) just now, I caught a single phrase:
"the greatest political comeback since Richard Nixon"
I admit it. That made me smirk.
Greatest comeback since Nixon, eh? Well now, you might want to be careful comparing your boy to Tricky Dick. If you'll recall, that second term he won in a massive landslide didn't work out so well for him. Just something to think about.

On Abortion Bans
Any law that makes miscarriage a death sentence is a bad law, both poorly written and immoral. An abortion ban must be written in close consultation with obstetricians to be sure, for instence, that routine, life-saving procedures such as DNC that have nothing to do with abortion are not criminalized.
Rather than being rare, Miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) is quite common. If current, poorly designed abortion bans remain on the books, the spectrum of women of childbearing age - from teens to late forties - will be decimated, leaving millions of motherless children. Such an outcome cannot be healthy for society as a whole. And it is most assuredly not pro-life.
Trump Won
Donald Trump has won the electoral college, and he looks set to win the popular vote as well. God help us all!

American CATHOLICS will be SENT to JAIL If this HAPPENS !
"By law, all American hospitals must provide emergency care. If that care includes an emergency abortion, even Catholic hospitals are obliged to perform that operation. However, no religiously affiliated hospital is obliged to provide elective abortions."
She's always touting her willingness to compromise, and this seems to me a simple, logical solution to the problem that should be acceptable to most people on both sides. But, she didn't say that, and you can see the hostility of the men in the video. I'm afraid her obdurance may cost her votes.
Crossed wires
Restaurant worker: “Do you want your pizza delivered?”
Customer: “Yes, please. I hate liver!”
Breonna Taylor case: Jury issues verdict in ex-LMPD detective’s federal retrial
Well, it's some sort of justice, I guess. It certainly took long enough.

Recommended Book of the Week: The Magician's Nephew
As those who frequent this blog probably know, I'm a voracious reader, including of children's and YA books. So, to inaugurate my Recommended Book of the Week feature, I've chosen a long-time favorite.
The Magician's Nephew
Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer are perfectly ordinary children in Victorian London. But, when they accidentally walk into the study cum labratory of Digory's Uncle Andrew, they begin a series of adventures that prove to be anything but ordinary.
