70sEraVet's JournalTrump declares "the Republican Party is 'getting rid of the Romneys'"
Seems he forced Ronna McDaniel out of the RNC Chair, and he harbors a deep resentment for Mitt Romney.

My question is, will this 'strategy' cause him to lose Utah in the General Election (if he can delay his trials long enough to MAKE it to the General Election)?
On a whim, I just searched Youtube for: 'Because Orange Jesus tells me so'.
I found this gem, and felt it was worth sharing!

'Black bodies are not for sale': the battle over an African American cemetery
Hunter is a direct descendant of people interred in the Maryland cemetery, a burial site used for formerly enslaved people. The site itself is buried by an apartment complex and parking lot and is embroiled in a legal battle that could have national implications.
...
The fight to preserve Moses Macedonia African cemetery dates back nearly a decade. Over the years, developers have tried to build several additional structures atop the burial ground, including a parking garage and a storage facility, the Washington Post reported in 2021.
.....
In addition to being a burial ground, the cemetery is what remains of Bethesdas River Road community, a historically Black area that was overtaken by white developers in the 1960s.

Republicans to meet allies of Hungary's Viktor Orbn on ending Ukraine aid
Source: The Guardian
Allies of Hungarys far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán will hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans in Washington to push for an end to US military support for Ukraine, the Guardian has learned.
Márton Ugrósdy, the deputy state secretary for the prime ministers political directors office, and Attila Demkó, a leading pro-Orbán academic, along with members of the Hungarian embassy in Washington, will on Monday begin a two-day event hosted by the conservative Heritage Foundation thinktank.
Allies of Hungarys far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán will hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans in Washington to push for an end to US military support for Ukraine, the Guardian has learned.
A diplomatic source close to the Hungarian embassy said: Orbán is confident that the Ukraine aid will not pass in Congress. That is why he is trying to block assistance from the EU as well.

So, the Heritage Foundation, which has been choosing most of our Supreme Court justices, is now assisting Putin in his ambitions?
Trump indicted on 91 charges. Great. But why not Bribes for Pardons scheme?
Back in May of this year, there was the explosive allegation of a Presidential Pardon bribery scheme, involving Guiliani and Trump. The details of the scheme shocked even people who were sure they they were immune to being shocked by anything that came from the MAGA White House.
In case anyone has forgotten:

Where are we now, on this? Is there a fear that adding yet another separate charge, another trial, will make it too cumbersome to conduct the ongoing trials effectively? But if so, why not at least indict Guiliani?
Approached outside the Public Library to sign a petition for 'No Labels Party'..
I was asked by a young woman if I would sign a petition to make it easier for an independent party candidate to get on the Tennesse ballot. Interested, I glanced at the petition, and saw 'No Labels Party' on the petition. I was startled. I said " No way!"
She asked why, and i said that I knew who the guy was running for President in that Party, and wanted nothing to do with him.
I'm a little mad at myself that I didn't spend a few minutes trying to talk her out of doing her petition duties.
I've seen white pelicans in TN in the past...
always in the winter, but I've only seen a small group of a dozen or so.
But yesterday, I saw this:
I live about 25 miles south west of Clarksville TN.

Sometimes, Tennessee really makes me proud (despite most of its politicians)
Known only to God.
We dedicate this monument
with highest regard.
This monument is erected on behalf of
more than 500 African Americans buried here.
May they find eternal peace.
When the Gallatin City Cemetery was established in 1814, it was segregated, and many Black residents were buried in the back of the property.

I'm afraid that this man's life is in the hands of a Supreme Court, whose majority i do not trust.
