1. We had gone to #Nantucket for a family August vacation. Our boys were about 3 and 4. When we left, we detoured through #Boston to take them to a #RedSox game. The plane was a "puddle-jumper" small twin-turbo-prop aircraft. The flight to Boston was bumpy.
2. As the plane was violently bouncing around people on it were clutching their armrests for dear-life while my oldest boy was standing up taking the whole thing in like he was on an amusement park ride. Then, out of the blue he shouted, "Mayday Mayday Mayday, We're going in!"
3. A man seated behind us who made for possibly a WWII or Korea era vet looked like he'd touched a live wire and shouted, "Will you shut that f*cking kid up?" And then, without any input from me, my son sat back
4. down, and glanced at me with slightly-chided but still devilish satisfaction. #HappyThanksgiving from the Hogan family.

1. Sorry to harp on this but, where does it say corrupt federal judges and justices have to be impeached under the "high crimes and misdemeanors" standard of Art II that applies to POTUS, VP and "officers of the United States" that IMO is generally defined as executive appointees
2. who serve at the pleasure of the POTUS as delegates of POTUS' executive authority. And we know that a sitting POTUS can be charge but the DOJ has made a policy choice not to. That can change. But as to a sitting corrupt SCOTUS justice like Alito and Thomas there is nothing
3. to prevent their charges by federal prosecutors and I see no reason to think a state prosecutor could not charge them. What if they decided like their god of filth #thecreature, they could shoot people on 5th Ave. Would we have to impeach to remove? It's absurd.

1. Twitter is a monopoly. How can you tell? There's no current viable alternative and they have well over 50% of the market for news feed social media. If it is a monopoly, who has standing to sue under the Sherman and Clayton Acts?
2. DOJ FTC and anyone with tangible injury to their person or business would IMO. Clearly state AG's and consumer protection groups would also have standing but individual singled-our by E M and his racist misogynist hate groups he agrees to amplfy could prove an injury.
3. What would be the appropriate remedy? Loss of the exclusive rights of ownership of the Twitter platform that would require Twitter to spin off and populate with the existing account data at least two new Twitter-like platforms. At lease one would employ the section 230

1. Remember, @SecBlinken can't save the SDF because he has sold us and them out to the Gulf States who wish to keep women as a slave class. The SDF represent the "no compromise on equality" crew in the Mideast. When you support Turkey you are showing you support misogyny.
2. Jin Jiyan Azidi is from this revolution to liberate all women on earth from second-class citizenship. The terrorist supporting Gulf States all fear their own women. They will ally with any terrorist like Erdogan to make sure women remain slaves. They fear revolution spreads.
3. I like @JoeBiden. Supported him since 1988, but perhaps the time has come for a woman to take command. If he doesn't want to get involved he can stay on Nantucket and let the @VP take the wheel. @TeamPelosi @SenSchumer @SenJackReed @RepAdamSmith

1. Because sadly I think any attempt to wake the @WhiteHouse up to deal with this catastrophe is likely to prove fruitless, I will focus on how to defeat the Turkish backed terrorists the best I can. So I looked at the NASA FIRMS maps and found something I didn't expect.
2. This shows fires in areas of the reported Turkish strikes in Syria to the east around Derik but it also show large numbers of fires in Turkey north of Syrian town. If these aren't a sudden burst of crop fires it looks like Turks are being hit but SDF doesn't have
3. long-range fire capability to my knowledge. So what is all that? I don't think is can be the flash of Turkish artillery because that is momentary and the satellites would have to be right over head. Unlikely. I have believed that the only way SDF can defend itself is to

1. When I was a senior in high school, I became close friends with our new assistant principal. He was an actor and director and he wanted to do a play. He chose, "A Thurber Carnival," that is a series of short comedy bits. He asked me to be in it. I had never acted
2. before but was on the debate team and had no fear of pubic speaking so I agreed and he cast me in about a half dozen or so roles. One was to play the attractive other woman in "Mr. Preble Gets Rid of His Wife" and I did it and got more laughs than any of the other roles.
3. We performed to a full house in the cafetorium and recall one of my Scout leaders, a giant of a man, whose son was my classmate, laughing so hard he fell off his chair. Shortly after that someone wrote an opinion piece in the Holyoke Transcript Telegram decrying the fact that

1. He was my hero. I made my own flyers with my older brother and canvassed door-to-door in Florissant Mo when I was 8. My dad took me with him to the old Famous Bar shopping center parking lot to hear him speak. My dad was an @ap wire correspondent and always had a camera.
2. Not that day. I remember he picked me up to stand on the base of a light fixture so I could see. A little over a year and a half later my dad died and we moved from St. Louis back to Western Mass where my parents were from and I started 4th grade there.

It was a Friday.
3. I was in the 5th grade and despite having a few issues adjusting, the teacher, who I think knew my dad, gave me the job to go to the office and run-off her lessons on the mimeograph machine. That's were I was at about 2:00 pm that day when the principal came on the PA and
