Feelings of Dred 4
I predict that the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act decision will eventually be judged as infamous a sell-out to bigotry and oppression as was the Dred Scott decision.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Greasing of Civil War 2. It took zero time for the neo-Confederates to immediately move forward with their disenfranchisement legislation. They didn’t even consider a diplomatic pause and that’s because they instinctively know, something a lot of the opposition doesn’t fully grasp, that they can do unconstitutionality and nullification faster than it can be undone. As long as that’s allowed they don’t have to actually shell a Fort Sumter. The President knows all this. He assuredly sees this as a ‘remedy’ to his fair election.

DIdn’t take long, did it?
That’s what Rachel Maddow’s report, that I posted later, is about.

Yes, watched it. The actions made the Supremes look all the more odious with their sanctimonious crap about how times have changed in the south. I’m going to post a YouTube excerpt from the Lee Atwater documentary that explains the southern attitude we immediately see. Part of this is also about the “We’ll show you” act of revenge-taking.

I’m a Southern boy. I grew up under Jim Crow.
I know a bigot when I see one.
And there are five of them on the Supreme Court.
Looking forward to your post.
