A curious ad

Has popped up on my DU pages. I keep getting an ad for custom t-shirts that have my actual last name on them. This is an anonymous site. Why is this happening?

Who in the hell is

James Wilson?

. James Wilson was unloved by the people, who thought him a wealthy, anti-democratic aristocrat, yet as a framer of the Constitution he championed the rights of the common man. A preeminent legal scholar, he was three times passed over for appointment as chief justice of the Supreme Court. One of the best educated and most energetic men of his time, he spent his last years a debtor, hunted, in his words, “like a wild beast” by anxious creditors. James Wilson’s life was filled with contradictions, but it was, above all else, a life devoted to the law and to the new American republic.

This Mr Castor

Doesn't understand the First Amendment. Said you can say anything without consequences.

Shouting fire in a crowded theater" is a popular analogy for speech or actions made for the principal purpose of creating panic. The phrase is a paraphrasing of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.'s opinion in the United States Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States in 1919, which held that the defendant's speech in opposition to the draft during World War I was not protected free speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The case was later partially overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, which limited the scope of banned speech to that which would be directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot).[1]

What a lovely thing to wake up to!

Thanks so much for the hearts! A great beginning to a day where Hubby gets his first vaccination shot. Me tomorrow. Things are looking up.

Thought it was just rumors

floating around my Florida neighborhood. One said their friend slipped money to a Publix pharmacist to get the vaccine. Another said they were given a number to call in the middle of the night to get an appointment for a shot the next day. I poo poo'd it all. I said its all legit and the fact people can't get appointments through on line govt. sites, is just volume of calls. But today, I see this....

Looks like the

White House press corps is trying to. rough up the new press secretary. She's holding her own, but some of them seem like they want to embarrass her. Boy they finally get a qualified person and they turn. Come on!

Matt Gaetz

looks like a runaway from a 60s do wop group. All he needs is to snap his fingers to the beat.
