Short Take Politics:

Printed here so people who support Christofascism can have an easy place to kvetch. Sharing ideas and exercising free speech is great with the MAGA crowd as long as you goose step while doing it. You must goose step. And please, attend a Christian church. Catholic counts even less than the Mosque or Temple. And remember, I’m not prejudiced. My King’s daughter is married to a Jew and I have Black friends. I could shoot someone in Hyde Park in broad daylight and get away with it. People love me. Try the veal. I will be here all week. Just be careful not to trigger the ammosexuals (I'm looking at you, Simeon). Real Short Take will be shared in a bit at www.niagaraexpress.town.news I ended up working on other writing yesterday and never published. I’d call it a day off i If didn’t look at the Diodati word count and see it seems to be getting long. I hope it is enjoyable when I do get to publishing it.

Supreme Court to consider birthright citizenship

How people feel about it depends on how the question is asked. The concept actually arose post Civil War. Still, some of those people are not like me. I am scared of them. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/30/nx-s1-5760983/birthright-citizenship-public-opinion-supreme-court-arguments

2+2=5. Some truths never change

We never really get past being able to understand and empathize with Winston at the Ministry of Truth. It is interesting, however, to consider Chaplin inspirer Orwell who knew how a charismatic fascist could manipulate followers into obedience. There but for the grace of Ayn Rand go I. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/2026/03/25/george-orwells-unacknowledged-debt-to-cinema/
