And this was curious, indeed. You just can’t trust this woman, gang. But it was sad to think that some of her kids had to watch her go out in handcuffs.

From Real Raw News:

“JAG Re-Arrests SCJ Amy Coney Barrett

AG rearrested Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett Saturday night, a day after she sided with the Court’s liberal minority about whether to allow Arizona election officials to reject new voter registration forms that do not include proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or a passport.

White Hats allege Barrett’s vote on the matter was unconstitutional and violated an agreement she and President Trump had etched in stone following her first arrest in May 2021 […]

As reported then, Navy JAG and Army CID investigators detained Barrett for recusing herself from a pivotal vote that could’ve exposed widespread election fraud in Pennsylvania. Her silence was a massive blow to the faith President Trump had placed in her and enraged conservatives nationwide. Her wanton betrayal had almost merited a trip to GITMO, but President Trump instead requested she be confined to house arrest and fitted with an ankle bracelet, which she has worn like an indelible tattoo ever since.

Here on the home front…

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the death of someone who, in hindsight, probably mattered more to me than anyone else on the planet. It is hard to believe he has been dead for 50 years.

Greg was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1974, the summer I turned 14, and my life was absolutely never the same after that.

I went to visit his grave a few days ago and was sad to discover that no one is maintaining it anymore. It was overgrown with weeds that I tried to tidy up. But the plaque is faded and the whole thing was just really difficult to process.

50 years is a really long time. A lot of the people who knew him are likely not even still alive. Others, obviously, moved on with the business of living their lives. 50 years. To me, his death was yesterday.
