It’s April Fools Day

I’m not one for practical jokes, I hate them. Trump is going to deliver a speech to the nation tonight. Interesting choice of day to do it. Right at this moment there are oral arguments going on about birthright citizenship, accompanied by the usual clown circus outside the Supreme Court. Also later today the NASA Artemis rocket will start it’s journey taking astronauts around the moon for the first time in more than 50 years. The diverse/inclusive four-person crew will launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida, for a 10-day journey.

Pol Pot approves

Nothing is the same anymore. The Supreme Court ruling will be interesting but given that this court has laid many an egg so far, it will probably lay another one depending on how you feel about it.

I don’t care much about all of this. I’m waiting for my capacitors to arrive in the mail so I can fix my keyboard. There will be a band rehearsal tomorrow and maybe we’ll find out more about the new beer, wine and art bar that is opening up down the street. Rick says we could be the house band. I’ll believe it when it happens.

From Bearingarms.com “Today is supposedly the last day that Canadian gun owners can hand in firearms banned by the Liberal government and still receive compensation for their guns. With just 51,000 firearms turned in as of last week, the federal government has collected just a little more than one-third of the total number of firearms it anticipated receiving, and most provinces have refused to aid in the Liberals’ gun ban scheme.” Oh no, people don’t want to give up their weapons that easily, maybe there’s hope for Canada after all?  

This is a Robo taxi. I ain’t getting in it.

I realize that I have strayed into politics, so I’ll stop. I haven’t had first or second breakfast yet so I’m running late. It’s currently 80 degrees outside and last week it was below freezing. This weather can make you crazy.

Over at the Post they’re focused on Prince Harry who has been accused of “sending a string of flirty Facebook messages to a journalist, in which he joked about drinking her under the table and pined for their “movie snuggles,” according to a report.” These texts were sent between December 2011 and January 2012, so this is old news really.

“The Duke of Sussex, 41, and six other claimants, including Elton John, are suing Associated Newspapers for alleged ​widespread unlawful activities ranging from hacking voicemail messages, bugging ​landlines and obtaining private information by deception over more than ⁠two decades from the early 1990s.”

To boldly go where DEI has never been

That’s it. Cut and paste journalism 101. I’m too famished to write any more today. I think I’ll skip over first breakfast and go straight to second. It’s all happening today, but a lot of it hasn’t happened yet. If anything major occurs perhaps I’ll come back and talk about it, but there’s always tomorrow.

Good Day
