The economic news continues to be excellent.

Funny – and true!

This is most likely unconstitutional. States can’t add requirements for federal office. It has been upheld in the past by the Supreme Court but in the days of Trump, who knows?

Pepperdine University Professor Derek Muller wrote in the NYT:

The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that states can’t use the ballot as a political weapon. In 1964, for instance, Louisiana listed candidates’ race on the ballot. Louisiana maintained it was just providing truthful information to the voters of the state. The Supreme Court struck down the statute on the ground that the ballot was not a vehicle to direct voters to consider a candidate’s race.

In the 1990s, Missouri asked congressional candidates to take a term limits pledge; if they refused to do so, the state would indicate on the ballot that the candidate “declined to pledge to support term limits.” The Supreme Court struck down that ballot provision, too.

Both those cases stand for the proposition that states cannot use their ballots to achieve preferred political or policy outcomes—such as burdening those who prefer to keep some, or all, of their tax information private.

A mistake often made by politicians (intentionally probably) to bolster their socialist proposals.

He’s right.

Could be big news. We’ll see.

Yes, it is interesting.

More about Baltimore.

More “infestation”.

A few laughs after last night’s debate.

History repeats?

This never gets old!

Good sense of humor.

Charlie’s prayer.

Have a great day!

Today’s musical selection, written by George Gershwin in 1924, was a new form of music at the time – a jazz concerto, and it was described by Paul Whiteman (who commissioned the piece) as an experiment. It’s original title was American Rhapsody. Gershwin described its genesis:

It was on the train, with its steely rhythms, its rattle-ty bang, that is so often so stimulating to a composer – I frequently hear music in the very heart of the noise. … And there I suddenly heard, and even saw on paper – the complete construction of the rhapsody, from beginning to end. No new themes came to me, but I worked on the thematic material already in my mind and tried to conceive the composition as a whole. I heard it as a sort of musical kaleidoscope of America, of our vast melting pot, of our unduplicated national pep, of our metropolitan madness. By the time I reached Boston I had a definite plot of the piece, as distinguished from its actual substance.

    I wonder if anyone has asked the feel good new age chick how we pay all the bills since economic commerce is amoral. Are we going to plant some of those money trees in our organic gardens?

    Would I use those diapers? Of course not. I am a rational, thinking human being. It isn’t that hard to check a child’s diaper. IMO it is just another way to ignore your child.

    Holy Cow!!!! It has been what, 70 years since the world fought Germany to keep them from taking over the world? And, now they are going after the same thing from another direction? Oh yeah, that makes sense. /s (just in case there is any doubt)

    Interesting about the rhapsody.

    Huckabee is a hoot. 😀
