Biggest gator ever

Hands-down. It had to be at least 17 feet.

Nithya Raman concession speech

From Nithya Raman’s “concession speech”:

“a few months ago, this campaign was a longshot, no one knew who I was, I was the last to enter this race…”

Yup.

Also “where we stand up against ICE!”

Someone who would brazenly and openly defy federal law would never cheat in an election… 😂

And watching her try to squeeze out a tear at the end - about as convincing as watching Mr. Burns pretend to enjoy the taste of Blinky.

Declaration of Independence

Audio podcast style.

Declaration of Independence
RIP

The good man, good friend & great advocate Warner Mendenhall who passed away yesterday. My obit: Warner walked in the room like a hurricane, bringing boundless energy, limitless hope, and a bounty of smiles and laughs. Undeterred by the kind of obstacles that barricade and block most, Warner turned an obstacle course into opportunities to conquer. When the local powers-that-be tried to block his reformist agenda as a local official using legal tricks and techniques, he figured he'd go to law school to learn how to defeat it. He advocated for the outcast, the underdog, the ordinary person, and never blinked at the power of those he went up against, doing it all cheerfully with a heart full of hope and a mind determined to prevail, no matter the odds. To all lawyers who wish to do a little justice in the world, there are few better examples than Warner Mendenhall. Rest in peace, brother.

    “She’ll be riding 7 white horses when she comes, when she comes. She’ll be riding around the bend when she comes, when she comes.” So may father sang some version of his own of the famed spiritual son that used to echo off the ridges and mountains and riverbeds that make Chattanooga home as returned from our morning paper route beneath the mountains and by this famed river bend.

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The colorful, blurry, swimming-in-the-mind sense of a jazz cafe, balanced blissfully against the cacophony of conversation in the drum beat of the street surrounding, the blending of indoors and outdoors, the real and the surreal, the deeply honest and flagrantly fake, the warm cafe amidst the cold streets, with hope still stirring amidst. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  •  "Avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty.” George Washington.

The Barnes Brief, Weekend of May 29, 2026

BRIEF

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Battle of Bunker Hill, by early American artist John Trumbull, a battle the British managed to lose while winning. By holding off the British as long as they did, the Americans seized the narrative and strategic victory. Legend grew of a young farmer turned Colonel of the Minute Men, promising to hold the Hill or periosh trying for at least one more night, with the famous phrase echoed: “Don’t Fire Boys Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes”, or at least legend would have it. I admit my fondness for the legend with its Sun Tsu style proverbial wisdom, but also for a more direct reason: Colonel Prescott was a great, great granddaddy of mine. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “Don’t Fire Till You See the Whites of Their Eyes.” Colonel Prescott, according to legend.
