What's Next? 

The Supreme Court took another bite out of the Voting Rights Act with its decision that a Louisiana congressional district is a gerrymander.  Looking at a map of the district, it is easy to see that it is.  However, the decision threatens Black representation in Congress because it makes it easier for states to redraw districts and diminish the voice of African-Americans. That is what some states are already vowing to do.  What's next for minorities?

What I missed 

It doesn't pay to take two weeks off.  I missed an assassination attempt on the President, a break-off of Iranian negotiations, renewed pressure by the President to finish building his gigantic White house ballroom, a second indictment of James Comey on a flimsy pretext, more narcissistic moves by the President of putting his image on passports and stamping his image on coins and that is just a small part of what happened.  I was out of range of news media for part of the time and that felt good although a bit unsettling.  I will break away again in the future but for now, I'm back.

Face Off And Time Out 

Trump and the Pope are facing off over Iran.  Wonder who will win in the end?  

I'm not going to write for two weeks.  I'm taking time off.

Stubborn 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is stubbornly refusing to obey a Federal judge's court order to restore reporters' rights of access in the Pentagon.  This from an administration that says it supports Free Speech. The only speech the administration wants is repetition of its propaganda.

Lies? 

RFK Jr., secretary of health and human services, is launching a podcast "to expose corruption and lies that have made Americans sick."  Given that he lies about the efficacy of vaccines, it should be interesting to hear whom he calls out for prevarication.

War Crimes? 

If President Trump implicated himself in the commission of war crimes, it is hard to see that he will not get away with them.  The international courts are weak.

Religion 

Mixing religion with war and politics is unfortunate, but that is what the Trump administration is doing.  What happened to separation of church and state?
