The hit job on Supreme Court Justice Alito

Make no mistake about it what is currently happening in the US media about the sorry tale of stupidity by Supreme Court Justice Alito is a hit job by someone.  At least two ultra-right-wing justices on the Supreme Court have done incredibly stupid things.  First was Clarence Thomas who accepted millions of dollars in gifts from people who were interested in the outcome of cases in which he participated.  That's not to mention the nearly treasonous activities by his wife, in the January 6th affair.  

The truth is that the dirt on Thomas is a real stain on the court's historically impartial opinions.   The hard truth is that the US Supreme Court is now a political court.  

The story behind Justice Alito is funny in comparison but to me, this is all part of a plan to destroy the widely held view that the court is impartial.  Justice Alito decided to fly the US flag upside down.   First, as a Brit the American obsession with their flag is a little tiresome.  Still, flying the US flag upside down is a signal of distress and was one of the most used symbols for the January 6th demonstrators.   Since then Alito has thrown his wife under the bus, but more and more information is coming out, there are videos and recordings.  Bottom line Alito's wife is almost certainly not someone you want as a neighbour, thing a deranged "Karen".  It gets worse, he also flew other insurrectionists' flags, and these were not flown for an hour or two but days on end.  

The truth is irrelevant here.  First, there is no remedy, these two can remain on the bench for as long as they want, and no one can fire them.  The Supreme Court justices individually answer to no one but their conscience.   

There is a reason why I did not say that it was the Democrats who were behind this, because those who espouse the rule of law, even flawed laws are the Democrats.  the Republicans are playing a very different game.   The actions of many in the administration during the last days of the Trump administration, such as sending fake electors to Washington were done not to win, but to confuse.  In an ideal situation the arrival of the fake lists, and the assassination of the Vice President would have given the President extraordinary powers (not kidding here).   

Why it did not work, because the protestors were not sufficiently bloody-minded and really did not want to be cannon fodder.   There were over 90 minutes between the Hill Police request for the National Guards and the approval from the White House.  Trump is too much of a coward to actually take part.  The world will not know for many years, if ever, how close America can to a civil war and insurrection.

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Farm; Half year performance

 People appear to be genuinely curious. 2024 has been a record first half for the farm.  The addition of high tunnels has greatly impacted our revenues.   While we expected Q1 profits to be higher, it really was the second quarter that produced the goods.  The terrible weather has greatly impacted the production of high-end vegetables. Energy costs are now very stable and have become a fixed variable especially now that our bio digesters are fully dialled in.   Replacing some of our pre-dryer equipment was covered under warranty, and the new equipment is far better at dealing with gas moisture, and much better steel!   Our diesel costs are what they are! Our biologist and ecologist devised a new planting plan for our high tunnels that greatly reduced pests, especially slugs.   We have seen a 90% decline in sluggs this year, resulting in better yields.   It seems that several plants act as natural repelants and if planted c...

Britain, France and Egypt

 The voters realize now that the Conservative Praty desire to return to 19th-century dominance has driven its hatred of the EU.  The voters realize now that departure from the EU has accelerated Britain's decline and may soon make it irrelevant.  At best it will have to kiss American arses to maintain its standing.  For this, the conservatives were punished.  The decline of Britain was inevitable, competition from Frankfurt and Germany in Finance was bound to grow.  The core of Europe (aka Germany) is aging quickly Macron seems to be winning his bet, the left alliance that won the legislative elections will not remain united for long, since they disagree on about everything.   The Far right though it was about to assume power is once again relegated to the back of the bus.   It may draw its own conclusions, but not all of these are good for France.  The far-right has won nearly 1/3rd of the electorate, that is not something to be ig...
