- SPECIAL COMMENT: The would-be dictatorships are stacked up so thick they have to wait for permission to land.
- We rightfully fear a Trump dictatorship. Right now, however, we are being RULED by a Samuel Alito dictatorship. And now we have to take measures to overthrow it. Caught flying one insurrectionist flag at his VIRGINIA home — while he was adjudicating cases that could have benefitted the Trump Coup Attempt — Alito simply lied about it, claiming he had no role in it, then contradicted himself by telling a backstory of petty personal recrimination involving neighbors — a backstory which had its OWN set of lies.
- And now we know that THAT entire story was — at best — a lie of omission, because when Alito was caught improperly flying a disqualifying insurrectionist symbol in public at his primary home in 2021, he was continuing to hide the fact that through much or all of last summer he was flying a DIFFERENT disqualifying insurrectionist symbol in public at his vacation home in New Jersey.
- It is, as you know, the Appeal to Heaven flag, stolen by groups of Christo-Fascists from its historical role in our founding revolution and re-purposed to rationalize a fundamentalist religious dictatorship replacing representative government. As the New York Times noted in reporting this story, “the phrase ‘appeal to heaven’ comes from the 17th century philosopher John Locke, who wrote of a responsibility to rebel, even use violence, to overthrow unjust rule. ‘It’s a paraphrase for trial by arms,’ Anthony Grafton, a historian at Princeton University said in an interview.”
- It’s a paraphrase for trial by arms, and it’s been flying in public view from Samuel Alito’s home.
- And now we have to figure out how to stop Alito from completing his plan to turn this country into a religious dictatorship — a kind of westernized Iran.
- On the other hand: In a surprise announcement, Donald Trump has declared himself dead. “They were authorized to shoot me!,” begins his email to try to con more money out of his dumbest cult members. “I nearly escaped death!” Uhhhh …. So … you … DIDN’T … escape death? Metaphorically, Trump may be right. The words used by the President and those around him about Trump’s “Unified Reich” video are a sea change. They are calling him an anti-Semite. Next they need to call him a Nazi.

- THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, apparently cannot afford a weather app. It rained so hard on him he became Rishi Sunk. Larry Hogan, a Republican, insists he’s always protected women’s rights. Of course he’s lying. And as we realize just how corrupted and unsalvageable the Supreme Court is, Jim Jordan provides some comic relief by saying something that provides an immediate opportunity to insult Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito.

- THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I ran into Al Roker the other day, so naturally I have to tell you all my Matt Lauer stories. These are the obnoxious, vanity ones, as opposed to the assault-y ones.
Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
