A "fond" remembrance of Watergate figure and master dirty trickster later who later became an author, actor, and talk show host, G. Gordon Liddy. Liddy died March 30, 2021, at the age of 90.

I got cut off because my memory card filled up.
More comments about the scheme by those on the religious right to completely overtake the federal government and American life if Trump gets back in the White House.

#AlmedaFire #wildfires
I went bike riding today down the Greenway, which was opened recently following the destructive Almeda Fire. I stopped where I grew up, on 169 East Glenwood Road, which is now an open field owned by Jackson County. My parents sold the property in 1981. This land served as a buffer of sorts in stopping the destructive fire from spreading further.

#MissUSA
#beautypageants
Nevada made an embarrassment out of itself when it selected a man who calls himself Kataluna Enriquez to win the state title for Miss USA. Despite all the hoopla of being a cheater in an endeavor that should be a thing of the past, he got eliminated early. The winner instead was a Louisville, Kentucky, reporter by the name of Elle Smith.
Correction: I mispronounced Kataluna's name by calling him "Catalina."

A pair of entitled men are suing to get IVF insurance benefits, which in their case would require buying a woman's body or women's bodies to "gestate" and/or provide an egg. These guys are claiming sex discrimination and, absurdly, disability discrimination in their case. Disgusting.

Once again, abortion is a political football in this year's elections. An attempt to codify abortion rights into federal law failed thanks to the likes of Joe Manchin. Meanwhile, many are concerned not just because of the
future of Roe v. Wade, but also of the 1965 Griswold v. Connecticut, which made contraception access a civil right thanks to the concept of the "right to privacy."

#schoolclubs
A lawsuit has been filed against Spreckels Union School District in California over the now-suspended GSA club where at least one family was not informed of what was going on with their daughter over a "gender identity" issue. These clubs should not be allowed to exist in K-12 because these students are minors and these clubs can be seen as predatory, certainly in the light of the increasing presence of queer theory ideology.
