Indictment of DC Police Lieutenant Raises a Disturbing Question
From this:
A Washington D.C. police lieutenant was arrested and charged Friday with obstruction of justice and making false statements over allegations that he leaked information to then-Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy last month for his role in the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.
The Justice Department announced Friday that Shane Lamond, 47, was indicted by a grand jury in D.C. with one count of obstruction of justice and three counts of making false statements.
This raises the question: In the case of a civil war, in which armed Trump supporters participate in an insurrection several orders of magnitude larger than that of January 6th, can law enforcement be counted on to uphold the law and defend the nation against the rioters, or will they simply join the riot? The answer isn’t at all clear.
One thing’s clear. If the insurrection takes place in the next few years, we won’t have to worry about the allegiance of Shane Lamond, since his treasonous ass will be in prison.
One of the most sickening symptoms of the decline of the U.S. educational system is the quality of the people we elect to make the laws that govern our lives.

I was speaking with a woman yesterday who has spent a lot of time in the Netherlands and says she still can’t believe how a country’s people and its government can work together so harmoniously and productively. The distinction between the Dutch and the Americans, she says, is particularly pronounced when it comes to transportation; all European nations are well on their way to expelling fossil fuels from their society.
Newsflash: Those who believe they have destroyed entire foundations of science that have been put into place over the millennia by doing “their own research online” are a million miles away from admitting any possibility that they could be wrong.
I just met some of the people who built the transponder that SpaceX will launch into orbit around the Earth tomorrow morning, enabling, for the first time, the tracking of all aircraft around the world, even over water. Readers may recall that we still don’t know what happened to international passenger flight Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that disappeared somewhere into the Southern India Ocean in 2014.
As anyone could have predicted, Republicans are lining up behind the fight to ensure that the world suffers the most severe effects of climate change. The reasoning is simple: Democrats accept the findings of science, and therefore, the GOP must reject them.
This guy has a legitimate point. When, precisely, had humankind’s conviction to God brought us better times?
Maybe Chekhov is right.
