Police shot and killed a man in a Minneapolis suburb. Riots ensued.

Turns out, there is no evidence of asymptomatic transmission. Follow the science, indeed.

The US Navy ordering a pair of ships into the Black Sea is a mistake. Two ships can do nothing in Russia’s backyard but blunder the nation into an ill advised war that we are unprepared to fight.

As I type this, I am sitting in New Orleans. A pair of F-15s just flew down Canal street at the Mississippi River at an altitude low enough to read tail markings from the 20th floor of my hotel.

More on NOLA when I return home on Wednesday.

Biden signed an EO today to establish a commission to study packing the Supreme Court. I wonder when they will declare him to be Chancellor.

Imagine a cell phone that never needs to be recharged.

Oops- now the landfill is radioactive.

In honor of our loss of one of the greatest speakers of my lifetime, I present to you Rush Limbaugh’s quote of the week:

For government to give, it must first take away.

At 7 o’clock this morning, I woke up hearing music playing. It was loud enough that I could make out lyrics. It was Christian music. My wife and I searched the house and soon realized that it was coming from a church that, according to Google maps, is exactly 1,000 yards from my house. They were having a sunrise Easter service. According to their website, the service was indoors, playing outdoors on a large TV screen for people in their cars sitting in the parking lot, and live streaming for those at home. The music played from 6:45am to 7:15am, then the service began.

I heard it all.

Also according to Google Maps, there are 21 churches and a Synagogue within a 5 mile radius of my house. We decided it was time to get up and hurry out for breakfast before the post-church service rush.

I am not a religious person. I *do* support people and their religion. I am respectful, and will quietly bow my head when others pray. However, if I can be awakened by the music from your service inside of my house from a half a mile away, your shit is too loud. This is no better than having to deal with the Muslim call to prayer.

Have some respect for people who choose not to attend your church.

I used to listen to the G. Gordon Liddy radio program, back in the 90’s, at about the same time I discovered Limbaugh. I tuned in almost every day. The thing that he said that I remember the best was during the Waco seige: “The ATF letters on their body armor make a great aiming point for a good rifle.”

Liddy will be remembered for being many things. Like most people, he was complicated and not many people know the entire person. Perhaps his wife of 53 years and their five children knew him best. Mr. Liddy died yesterday, he was 90 years old, and I have no doubt that he was a patriot. I cannot say the same thing about his son, who was a big part of the stolen election of last year.

In honor of our loss of one of the greatest speakers of my lifetime, I present to you Rush Limbaugh’s quote of the week:

The people that make this country work, the people who pay on their mortgages, the people getting up and going to work, striving in this recession to not participate in it, they’re not the enemy. They’re the people that hire you. They’re the people that are going to give you a job.
