Found Wisdom on Trump, Impeachers, The Honorable Lauren Boebert

Still a little painful, but the physical therapist says I’m good to type with the replaced arm until it hurts enough to stop.
 
Main ethic:
It would be unfriendly to wake the neighbors with screams of agony.
 
So here are a few, too few, of the many insights I have enjoyed since the assault. I’ll try for more later.

• It’s always just below the surface, isn’t it?
   
  Tommy Christopher reports as Trump gets sandblasted for attacking “liberal Jews” for not supporting him.
   
  My reaction:
  

• Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged, is incandescently brilliant in her scathing reviews. Please read as she takes on NBC for the soft interview of mr Trump, with the faint gesture of a little after-the-fact fact-checking. The headline is a good intro: NBC Cleaning the Augean Stables with a Squirt Gun.
   
  Key free sample:
  He is a man I’m almost certain who watches himself with the sound turned off because the bare fact of his fame is enough for him. What he says hardly matters. He doesn’t want to be loved so much as he wants to be inescapable. Omnipresent.
   
  If I ever become a public figure and manage to tick off Vixen Strangely,
  all I want is a chance to apologize.
   
  Is that too much to ask?
   
• At The Moderate Voice, Donald Trump acknowledges that he intends to become a dictator, but only for one day. Retired U.S. Air Force Major Dorian de Wind says Hold on a damn minute, Sparky. Okay, those are my words, summarizing his message.
   
• When you’ve lost Newsmax…
   
  News Corpse watches and reports as Republican Impeachment chair James Comer barely survives the CNN interview as Jake Tapper makes fun of his logic. Then Newsmax (Newsmax?) tells him his investigation looks like a joke.
   
  
• Dave Columbo has a suggestion for news media, especially when interviewing Donald Trump: good old boring on air FACT checking, with a highly entertaining, high ratings follow up:
   
  
• The back and forth goes on. Lauren Boebert goes to sex acts, of a sort, during a family theatre production, and gets caught on tape.
   
  Shock jock radio personality Howard Stern criticizes her as a disgrace to this country
   
  Conservative writer Joseph Massey isn’t having it. He makes an interesting point on hypocrisy: applying a different standard to someone else than to yourself.
   
  I’m old enough to remember when Howard Stern sent an intoxicated dwarf to urinate on a large block of ice in Times Square that contained the magician David Blaine. The dwarf exposed himself in public. But Lauren Boebert is a “disgrace.”
   
  Sadly, Cato Institute’s Julian Sanchez deconstructs Joseph’s entire point in just a few words:
   
  Almost like different standards apply to a radio shock jock and and a member of Congress. So weird.
   
• Immigration and border control are current hot topics, especially for conservatives. driftglass helpfully reviews recent Republican votes on actual funding.
   
• Our favorite Earth-Bound Misfit notes that, along with widespread starvation in North Korea, there has been a marked increase in suicide. So Dear Leader is secretly warning suicide will be regarded as treason.
   
• Senator J.D. Vance has a plan for peace with Russia. Just have Ukraine negotiate away whatever part of itself Putin wants. M. Bouffant at Web of Evil considers the plan for peace in our time, seems skeptical.
   
  Sometimes it’s useful to point out the obvious:
  
• tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors has news from Florida as voters put abortion rights on the ballot.
   
  Well, maybe.
  The Florida Supreme Court could still take it away from voters.
   
• Katie Cox, the hopeful mother suddenly faced with the near certainty of a stillborn pregnancy, finally fled Texas to some location where she can get a legal abortion. Infidel753 writes about the danger to her, the escape, and the moral and political dilemma now faced by Republicans.
   
  Key take:
  If Cox had stayed, she would have ended up as a human sacrifice offered up by ignorant barbarians lost in the darkness of medieval taboo and superstition.
   
• Most of those who read Nan’s Notebook are, as she points out, non-believers/atheists. When Nan asks those readers for “their personal ‘deconversion’ experiences”, many are thoughtful and provocative. Worth a look for those of us in the faith.
   
• Vagabond Scholar considers the original name and meaning Armistice Day and how it applies to a recent US war-not-war.
