Unclear on the Concept
President Trump is at it again. He wants to rename “New Mexico” to “New America.” I think he’s missing the point. We have “New York” and “New Jersey” and “New Hampshire.” They’re named for York and Jersey and Hampshire ... England. They were created as a link with their namesakes, but as distinct and even superior. Why is “Mexico” offensive to the president but York and Jersey and Hampshire not? Hey, we could save time and just name them all “New America.” No, that won’t work. It’s not really new, is it? Oh, I know ... how about something crazy like “The United States of America”? I know ... that won’t work either. False advertising in this not-so-united country. Some people just don't seem to understand that naming something "New" whatever means it is not "Old" whatever.
Not All News is Bad News
In Minnesota this week, a 27-year-old man jumped onto a runaway bus with a driver suffering a medical emergency and saved nearly 20 kids from possible disaster. “I really felt like it was my duty,” he told one news outlet. Good job, man. Not every news item is bad news, right? Giving credit where credit is due.
When Feelings Trump Science
The Supreme Court rejected President Trump’s attempt to restrict “gender-affirming care” for transgender inmates in federal prisons. The court gave no explanation for the decision, leaving me to wonder exactly what there is in the Constitution about “gender-affirming care.” Currently, then, your tax dollars are paying for self-identified “transgender” people in prisons to receive hormone treatments, surgery, and “social accommodations” (like clothing, hair-removal devices, wigs, binders, etc.) for “gender dysphoria” which, from the rational viewpoint, would be better addressed by fixing it rather than encouraging it.
Short one today. Sorry.

This is getting ridiculous. I was fine with Gulf of America because it is technically a more accurate term since A) the US touches more gulf coast and B) all three Americas touch it, not just Mexico. But these last few are stupid. Either they're genuine attempts at remaining places which indicate an unhealthy megalomania, or they're distractions just to throw more chum into the water to makes things messier. Neither are a good thing in a president. Oh well, I'm not exactly hopeful about this country's future already.

That's impressive.

Since 1992! We've been paying for this stuff for criminals since '92! This country is done for. We've turned our backs on our Creator, and now He's leaving us to our ways.
