was driving with daughter listening to Jan 6 post game and she said.....

 'What the hell are all these talking heads so worked up about.'

I said,  'President Trump wanted to lead armed protestors to the Capitol to stop the election of Biden.'

She said 'it took an investigation to figure that out?  it was obvious'

then I said 'and he tried to strangle his Secret service guys'

Daughter 'well no surprise there he has a temper if someone says no to him'

I said 'and he tossed his food in the dining area against the wall'

Daughter 'whoa he wasted McDonalds well that is news' and I had to admit is was more ketchup and China that was destroyed; not a quarter pounder with Cheese.  

Which gets us to the point.  Trump is either a criminal or insane (or maybe both).  You either know that or you have your head buried further in Twitter than a 16 year old girl.  Which begs the question, where are the heads of the majority of the GOP?

my daughter was called a kike on the ice

 The Aspen hockey jerseys never had last names on them and my daughter loved that.  Then in a money raising move the team got new jerseys right at the end of the season.  My daughter was not excited about that because she figured she would get harassed for her Jewish last name.

First game with the names on the back and a Vail player called her a kike.  She took the high road and ignored it during the game.  She told her coach (a Christian) who said ignore it.  We told the Aspen head of hockey and he took the same approach.

So the answer for the Jewish kid is to ignore anti semitic attacks.

When a Christian football coach kneels down on the 50 yard line, bows his head and prays to Jesus SCOTUS says that is ok.  They decided that freedom of speech trump's separation of church and state.  Full stop.

If the coach was Muslim and pulled out a prayer rug and prayed at the 50 yard line after the game (inviting his players to join him) do you think this SCOTUS would have taken the case?  Would they have decided that praying to Allah was an acceptable form of free speech from a high school employee at a high school event?

Methinks not.

And don't get me started about the white male Christian right desire to sanitize history in school (i.e. Holocaust deniers, Holocaust minimizers (i.e. can't read Maus), Slavery minimizers, lynching minimizers, etc).  The white male need to 'whitewash' history so that white boys don't feel bad about themselves, BUT God forbid a white Christian coach not be able to pray and thank his god at a football game.  But my daughter should just suck it up and ignore the insults to her person and her religion.

I ask everyone to fight SCOTUS and the current GOP.  During the rise of the Nazis a Protestant minister who at first was an enthusiastic support of Hitler changed his mind and penned the following poem:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist  

Then they came for the Jews, And I did not speak out because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me

As we move towards the 4th of July its time to think of what kind of country you want America to be.  White male Christian control or a diverse melting pot of people held together by a desire to be free?

My mom worked with Justice Thomas (or GOP is anti sex-pro porn)

 Holy shit.  

Ok, I admit that my most recent marketing tour for Gravirax had me driving to Jackson WY, Sun Valley, Park City and back to Snowmass over 4 days resulting in listening to lots of news and talk radio which is not healthy.....BUT seriously WTF.

My mom worked with Justice Thomas while he was at Monsanto (my mom running government relations--Thomas as an attorney.)  Thomas sucked at his job, but it was hard to fire him because he was black, so he was given grunt work and encouraged to look around. He went back to work for his rabbi John Danforth who eventually brought him all the way to the supreme court.  Another interesting bit of Thomas trivia-- he spent much of his time at Yale law school watching porn with one of the other few black law students there (this from the other black law student---maybe his porn addiction explains his middling grades at Yale--and we know he didn't stop with the porn after Yale).

And that brings us to the point---the GOP finally got their wish with Roe being overturned.  Which really is an argument for watching porn and mastrabtion and ONLY having sex when you want to have a baby.   Is that a winning political position---only have sex to procreate?  It's the position of the Catholic Church (meanwhile their clergy is raping boys and they are covering it up---the Southern Baptist Church another  big supporter of anti choice also has a recently revealed institutional sex problem).

But seriously:

The condom broke

the moment got away from us

I thought I pulled out in time

The calendar method

Rape, Incest, the life of the mother---

Justice Thomas (and 5 other SCOTUS judges and the bosses of the GOP) believes in all of those cases the woman must carry the fetus to term---after that; good luck.

Justice Thomas--saying the quiet part out loud in his concurring opinion also suggested that SCOTUS should reconsider contraception and same sex marriage rulings.  Interesting he didn't put the Loving opinion in there (federal right to interracial marriage).  Of course our good Catholic Justice is also divorced and remarried which the Catholic church says is 'a no no'.  Intellectual consistency or honesty is not part of Justice Thomas skill set (ergo not only not recusing himself but also being the only Supreme to vote to keep his wife's correspondence with Mark Meadows around Jan 6th a secret---yea no conflict of interest there judge).

Let's just take a moment to remember how hard it was to source porn in the 70s---that was back in the reel to reel era---maybe he feels so guilty about his porno ways he is trying to make up for it by going all Christian soldier now.  But how does the rest of America feel about sex?  Only to have children, or every now and then have sex cause it feels good.

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO, OR WELCOME TO THE DECADE OF MASTRABATION well the Volstead Act lasted 13 years --so maybe 13 years of Mastrabtion, 15? 20 --thank God I am old.

PS on the investment front maybe look at the stock of Vibratex who makes the hitachi magic wand (ladies you might never need a guy again) and I guess for you guys there is pornhub which is owned by mindgeek but that is a private company---maybe the play is to buy gun company stocks because if you were ever gonna need personal protection its in a country that is only having sex when people want to create a child.
