A decidedly stupid-looking monument of Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest on private property along I-65 in Nashville was taken down yesterday after the owner died.
U.S. Capitol Police Inspector General Michael Bolton told the Senate yesterday that out of the 104 recommendations he made to fix the gaping security flaws that allowed the Capitol insurrection to happen, only 30 have actually been implemented.
Only 61 out of the 200 new security enhancements the Capitol Police claimed to have carried out have been documented, the inspector general said.
Additionally,about 200 hundred officers have left the agency since the insurrection, according to Bolton.

On the House floor, moments before the vote, Meijer approached a member who appeared on the verge of a breakdown. He asked his new colleague if he was okay. The member responded that he was not; that no matter his belief in the legitimacy of the election, he could no longer vote to certify the results, because he feared for his familyâs safety. âRemember, this wasnât a hypothetical. You were casting that vote after seeing with your own two eyes what some of these people are capable of,â Meijer says. âIf theyâre willing to come after you inside the U.S. Capitol, what will they do when youâre at home with your kids?â
Morning reads that donât make you feel all warm and fuzzy about the strength of our democracy. These are the stalwarts who are going to stand up to the new fascists in their midsts?
Seriously, if the representative truly feels this way, he needs to resign. The lack of a spine is not a good look.
Welp, Francis is visiting Greece at the moment (5 day tour) and did a walking tour of a migrant camp on the island of Lesbos yesterday. Not bad for an almost dead guy. The image of him in the link reminds me of Monty Pythonâs âMinistry of Silly Hatsâ.
