Still Rising Again after All These Years 0
Via David Pakman’s Youtube page, Brittany Page explores the New Secesh’s attempts to whitewash (I use that term advisedly) slavery and slaveholders. (As my two or three regular readers know, I have found David to be a reasoned and reliable commentator.)
Afterthought:
I had ancestors who wore the grey. Indeed, one of them is immortalized in the Harper’s Ferry wax museum signing John Brown’s death warrant.*
I do not deny them, but neither do I try to justify what they did. (Understand, perhaps, as one who trained as an historian, but not justify.)
Those who refuse to learn from past evils doom themselves to repeating them.

*I may have mentioned this before in these electrons, but it was a moment for me when, on a visit to that museum some years ago, Second Son, still in school at the time, looked at the exhibit and said, “So, he was on the wrong side.”
That brought home to me with emphasis that, yes indeed, he was on the wrong side.
It was the wrong side then, and it is the wrong side now.
And it is still rising again after all these years.

The Hunt for Hunter 0
David points out that even Fox News admits that there’s no there there.
The Impeacher Men 0
Emma and the crew dissect the disinformation.
I lived in Delaware for many years and Joe Biden was one of my Senators. I did not know him personally (though I did see him on the train to Washington from time to time).
During the time he was my senator, I knew him to be an honorable man.
“Honorable” is a concept that today’s Republican Party, which, as I have noted, is a vile and loathsome thing, does not understand.
A Pillow of the Community 0
Looks like he’s had the stuffing kicked out of him.
Lindell, natch, claims he will appeal.
Vaccine Nation 0
The editorial board of the Tampa Bay Times notes that, as more and more persons are falling for lies about vaccination (politely referred to as “vaccine hesitancy”), measles cases are increasing. (I can still remember suffering from measles when I was a young ‘un, before the vaccines came along, and mumps, which is much more serious in adults than in children, nearly killed my parents when I was a pre-schooler.)
The Times offers a simple bit of advice:
Follow the link for the complete editorial, where they point the finger of blame squarely at those who propagate this stupid.
Aside:
We have over two centuries of proof, starting with the smallpox vaccine, that vaccines work.
Unfortunately, we have no vaccine against stupid.
