Trump did not place his hand on the Bible.

A summary of what's going on:

Tennessee State Republicans have filed a bill that would allow Tennesseans to sue the manufacturers of abortion-inducing medication if a family member uses it to obtain an abortion.

The House sponsor of the latter bill is Rep. Gino Bulso, a Brentwood Republican who also happens to be trial attorney with a successful track record of personal injury suits. The Senate sponsor is Joey Hensley, the Hohenwald Republican physician who was found in 2020 to have violated medical ethics by prescribing opioids to his medical assistant/cousin/romantic partner.

There are two articles that speak to where we, in America, are right now:

The first one indicates what Tennesseans think and how far off base from reality they are. The second tells us why this is so.

All the Toons

Kids who ride electric school buses to school are getting a healthier trip to school. One that is not exposing their developing lungs to asthma and cancer causing pollution because electric school buses don’t have a tailpipe like fossil-fueled buses.

Additionally, electric school buses account for less than half the greenhouse gas emissions of diesel- or propane-burning buses, helping us lower the risk of a warming planet. For communities across the Southeast that are ground zero for rising heat, sea-levels, and catastrophic hurricanes knowing that these buses reduce carbon pollution that is driving these threats is a double benefit.

Additionally, the economics of implementing electric buses mean real savings for the school district because the lifetime cost of operating those vehicles is significantly lower.

Of course, R Congressmen like Chuck Fleischman voted against the Biden monetary Bill but tried to take credit for all it did for Tennessee. r's helped themselves to the money and now Biden won't help them any more with the result that the TN economy is slowing down.

The decision concluded TWRA’s warrantless forays onto private property violate Article 1, Section 7 of the Tennessee Constitution, which reads in part: “The people shall be secure in their persons, houses, papers and possessions, from unreasonable searches and seizures.”

This part of the ruling still concerns me:

"The ruling does not apply to privately-owned acreages that are left wild and unused — land the U.S. Supreme Court has dubbed “wild or waste lands” and concluded in a so-called “open fields doctrine” are not subject to traditional search and seizure Constitutional protections. The open fields doctrine has long allowed law enforcement to enter such properties without a warrant."

"Look, I'm a grown man...running against a six year old." Biden does something Trump was too cowardly to do: Show up at he White House Press Corp Dinner and speak!

From Heather Cox Richardson:

“I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S. Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as ‘an official act,’” lawyer Marc Elias, whose firm defends democratic election laws, wrote today on social media. He added: “I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.”

Elias was referring to the argument of Trump’s lawyer before the Supreme Court today that it could indeed be an “official act” for which a president should be immune from criminal prosecution if “the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him.”
