SCOTUS Hides & Law Loses

SCOTUS spoke, and their authored words left much to be desired. If a state has no standing to enforce the electors clause, no one does. If SCOTUS cannot resolve a Presidential election riddled with illegality, who can? It makes the electors clause a dead letter provision in the Constitution and SCOTUS look like useless librarians. This also signals SCOTUS will play Pontius Pilate throughout this election, wash their hands of what took place, and abandon the mediating role their position in the Constitutional order called for, which is sad for the Court itself.

The problem is still the same as when we started: too little institutional support for Trump or populist Constitutional causes. We now have two more institutions exposed as either incompetent or corrupt: our elections & the judiciary's handling of elections.

The lasting remedy, too, remains the same: ordinary people organizing & empowering a populist reform movement that relights the candle of liberty for the world. All worthy causes meet their match on a proverbial Pettus Bridge, and it can be ugly, as this has been to witness. American revolutionary spirit lives on as long as we breathe it. The greatest resource against wrong is still good people fighting for right. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing people they cannot make a difference. Hope never dies unless we let it. All great stories see the hero face a seemingly insurmountable crisis; indeed, we are about to celebrate what some call the greatest story ever told, and there, the hero gets crucified at the end of the 2nd act. The 3rd act here is yet to be written. Let's be part of writing it.

A natural treasure in the most discrete places

We got this microscope. It’s amazing.

Look at the treasure, we found in a tiny puddle of water in the leaf of an agave plant.

Andy Harris had a rough night

There is a viral video going around of Andy Harris (Republican representative for Maryland’s 1sr Congressional District) in which he tries to blame the prices of diesel on Democrat “environmental regulations”.

After the crowd starts laughing, he goes on a tirade.

I needed to find the clip in context.

The context does not make it any better.

Do he not understand what he looks like when he berates the very people he is asking to vote for him?

Also, no one is going to buy that answer.

If he sincerely believed his answer, he would not get upset at people for laughing at it.

Art of the Day: Wednesday, October 14, 2026

The day starts and finishes in the shadows, the pre-dawn or post-sunset cafe, reminding me of my youth opening my grandparents' diner before the area awoke raising the awnings before the sun rose to welcome the day. Each person embraced within their own thoughts, the contemplative character of their poses counterbalanced by the sense of movement and community in their shadows against the wall. A beginning of the day, a commencement of the night, all merged and married into one.

  • Another artistic expression of my own self-impression, the contemplative thought of looking out into the world through the oversized window amidst the shadows of dark and light, in between them both, uncovering and discovering along the way, a singular, solo figure in the space empty of objects but full of opportunities, sparse in materials but rich in ideas, waiting to be realized. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day

  • "He who sacrifices a right for a perceived benefit trades a mountain for a mirage.” Political proverb.

Special Notices

 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The mirrored reflection creating a paralleled world above and below, the fearsome crocodile coasting in the waterways made from centuries ago, a reminder of the power of the past and the potential of the present in the majestic ancient animal of our past and potential. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day

  • “Animal communication is like any other form of telepathic, intuitive conversation. The thoughts and feelings of people and animals carry energetic signatures, communicated through very primal, nonverbal channels.” Elizabeth Eiler.
