Paul Pelosi was attacked early Friday morning and is lucky to be alive, hospitalized, and on the mend. But what was the grievance of this (un-named) perpetrator against Paul Pelosi? That he was the husband of Nancy Pelosi? What had Mrs. Pelosi ever done to him? What had we Americans done to those who ransacked the Capitol building on January 6th? Why, nothing really, except to have won an election, one that Republicans wanted to win, badly.

Golden State
A friend again!
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Andrew Wiggins just signed a 4-year contract worth $109 million. He is not worth that kind of money. That is some 2,000 times more than most Americans earn!
Jordan Poole just signed a 4-year contract worth $140 million. While he is worth more than Andrew Wiggins, he is not worth that kind of money.
Their star player, Steph Curry, is on his second year of a 4-year contract worth $215 million. While he is worth more than Jordan Poole, he too is not worth that kind of money.

Columbus Day
Christopher Columbus did not, of course, “discover America.” And he knew this as soon as he landed and was greeted by natives who were living where he embarked. Their ancestors had lived here for 12,000 or 50,000 years, take your pick. Columbus knew they were human, but he treated them rather inhumanely. And today, because of his actions and the actions of millions of Europeans who followed him, some of his statues have been torn down. Even the holiday of Columbus Day is threatened. Is this a good idea?
