A few days ago, I told you …

Okay, so I wake up late this morning after the disturbing news last night that the historic courthouse in my hometown – a block from my home – is being closed to the public today through next Wednesday. They didn’t give any reason for the closing but I suspect it has something to do with the domestic terrorists who might get some ideas about courthouses next, which meant I did not sleep well last night.

I am happy to report that there were absolutely no problems at either the Historic courthouse nor the new courthouse in Richmond.  I don’t know if I told you that in November we elected our first African American sheriff since Reconstruction and the first Democrat in 35 years. That might have had something to do with it staying peaceful, but overall I haven’t heard threats of unrest today coming to fruition.

I guess they recognize what fools they were on the 6th and we are not playing cowboys and idiots here.

Today, Pro Publica published an amazing archive of over 500 videos of the attack on the Capitol posted to Parler by the insurrectionists who horrified all normal people on January 6th.  They are in sequential order and cover the time from noon until 6pm Eastern time.

The level of violence can disturb some, so be warned and cautious sharing this around.  This is significant work and preserves for all time how Americans attacked Americans because they didn’t like the result of a free and fair election and followed a profoundly corrupt man to the Capitol and now to jail for a long time.

Nobody I know is a bankruptcy lawyer, but these guys are and these guys say some interesting stuff.

The National Rifle Association filed for bankruptcy in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas). The NRA’s press release says that the purpose of the bankruptcy is to enable the NRA to change from being a New York corporation to a Texas corporation. This is critical to the NRA because the NY Attorney General, who regulates NY non-profits, is seeking to have the NRA dissolved for financial malfeasance.

The NRA swears it’s gonna pay off all its debts and is like Donald Trump promising that he won the election, don’t count on it.  I imagine that the NRA head guys and the head guys’ girlfriends have pretty much emptied out every dime they can.

The NRA is claiming it can change the location of their bankruptcy from New York to Texas, where they will be treated so much nicer, because one of their subsidiaries is in Texas. This subsidiary is Sea Girt, LLC, which amusingly was created on November 24, 2020.

There’s plenty more wrong with their whole swamp scam on this deal, but to be honest, I barely understand this much.

I do know that the New York AG is trying to dissolve the NRA and that Wayne LaPierre needs to keep his job and stay outta jail. But, it looks like Mr. LaPierre and the NRA are gonna be seeing a lot of the SDNY before this is over.

I’ve always found it karmic and comic that NRA supporters spent so much money donating to the NRA during the Obama years because Obama was going to take their guns. Well, only that they had less money to buy guns.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

CORRECTION:  I looked at those LLC papers three times and saw the name of the company as Sea Girl all three times.  The correct name is Sea Girt.  Apparently Sea Girt has some historic meaning for the NRA. I don’t give a damn. But, I corrected it in the story anyway. Thanks to those who let me know that, like me, they like Sea Girl better.

I just found out that Kamala Harris will be sworn-in by Justice Sonia Sotomayor using Justice Thurgood Marshall’s Bible.

That’s a liberal trifecta!

Here ya go —

And then …

There’s Jenna Ryan, a Texas woman who flew on a private airplane to come to the riot.

Y’all, you should not have oppressed her.  That’s why she’s rising up.

Okay, so poor Trumpies don’t know what the dickens to think.  One minute Trump is telling them to fight and the next minute he’s telling them to be peaceful.

But the QAnons have it all figured out.

Trump recorded a video that was shown on Wednesday night and it didn’t sound like treason at all. But, the wizards at QAnon have it figured out.  Trump was communicating with them using Morse Code.

The claim was first made on the QAnon-focused forum called the Great Awakening, where the poster claimed that Trump’s hand movements at the 4:20 mark in the video represented “dash-dash-dot-dash,” which is the Morse code for the letter Q.

Boy Howdy, that was tricky.
