Homecoming with Julia Roberts and Bobby Cannavale is a strange but interesting show.  It's a drama but most of the episodes are only around 30 minutes. What I find most interesting is the use of music from soundtracks of films from the 70s and 80s....

Specifically, the charges were brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of South Dakota, which claims that over an 18-year period, Erickson allegedly defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity which claimed, among other things, to be developing of a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.

A mob rushed to judgment to wrongfully condemn, threaten & vilify Nick Sandmann based solely on an out-of-context video clip. It only takes 15 minutes to learn the truth. Here it is.

Wood makes an interesting point here....

Some say a 15-minute video is too long to go viral. Will we allow incomplete 30-second video clips to be basis for agenda-driven false accusations & threats against a 16-year old student? Please share the full truth about what was done to Nick Sandmann

I think it would be a disaster. Yet another quagmire for us and death and destruction for the Venezuelans.

I have been astonished that they have been so few outcries by journalists to protest his detention.

People on the right don't seem to champion the principle of freedom of the press.

People on the left who for mysterious reasons allied themselves with the fortunes of Mrs. Clinton condemn Assange - the messenger - and ignore the horrific content revealing the corrupton of the DNC. And so they are pleased to tolerate or ignore the persecution of an honest journalist.

I have no idea what is going on in Va but it looks like Fairfax is following in the guv's steps with political problems.

In my opinion, this had nothing to do with Russian meddling.

It did, however, have to do with the skillful maneuvering by her opponent allowing him to win the electoral college and thus the presidency.

Mother Jones (definitely a liberal outlet) had this blurb about her last SC appearance.

When a Supreme Court session adjourns, the public isn't allowed to depart until all the justices have left the bench. After the arbitration arguments were gaveled to a close, I got up to leave with the rest of the onlookers. But then everyone stopped. All of the justices had left except for Ginsburg, who was having trouble getting out of her chair. There was an embarrassed silence as members of the press, the bar, and the public tried not to gape as Ginsburg mustered the courage to descend a single step off the bench and finally disappeared behind the red curtain. The contrast between the real-world Ginsburg and the comic-book superheroine of social media was striking.

Rehnquist missed 44 SC arguments and when administering the Oath of Office to Prez Bush looked in ill health.  He died in office in Sept of 2005.  The difference here is a sea change in politics.  A Republican prez replacing a Democratic icon would make the last SC confirmation look like a cake walk.

The last vid I was able to find of Ginsburg was a TMZ post of a shadowy figure being lifted out of a wheel chair into a big SUV, with no proof it was RGb.

They curse at him, they call him an idiot, they call him stupid," his mother, Megan Trump Berto, told ABC affiliate WPVI at the time.

The mountain lions are fairly controversial among those of us who live here.

Anyway, here's the story of a guy on Monday who got attacked by a mountain lion in CO while trail running and ended up killing the animal with his bare hands.

Very sad that the animal was killed.

"I'm making a big announcement on Sunday," Klobuchar wrote on Twitter late Tuesday night, after attending President Trump's State of the Union address. She linked to a website to sign up for her "big announcement," which will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Lots of articles on it.  

Key to the Democrats plans, experts and former congressional investigators told TPM, is a hearing Thursday titled, "Legislative Proposals and Tax Law Related to Presidential and Vice-Presidential Tax Returns."

As dry as that may sound, experts said that the hearing - which will examine legislation that would force presidential and vice-presidential candidates to disclose 10 years of their tax returns - will be crucial to establishing a "legitimate legislative purpose" for Congress to request Trump tax returns - potentially blunting expected legal arguments by the administration that the request is frivolous, or an example of "Presidential harassment."

Amazon chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos said Thursday that he was the target of an extortion attempt by the National Enquirer, which he said threatened to publish intimate photos of him and a woman he had an extramarital relationship with if Bezos didn't stop investigating the Enquirer's acquisition of text messages between the couple.
