From the TSA at airports, to “Florida cop” harassing and lying about a woman who is missing a hand, to myriad federal agencies involved in violating people over alleged “anti-tech extremism,” we’re looking at sadly typical law-enforcement nonsense.
Also, a sobering remembrance for Memorial Day, problems with “macro” economics, and a short Bible passage that’s deeper than it may seem at first.
