WOW: Pamela Hemphill, who served prison time for Jan. 6 said she will not accept Trump’s pardon. “We were wrong that day. We broke the law. Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol Police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation,” Hemphill told the BBC. thehill.com/regulation/c...

There is no reason for any group to “revive” the so-called Roman salute. For the same reason that tangential claims to ancient versions of the swastika are nothing but cover - plausible deniability. These have modern meanings and they are understood in that frame by the audience.

Found myself at inauguration breakfast (2nd Clinton) with Irish American friend several gens back, I was living in Belfast at time & have 50% Irish heritage, I have English accent & I felt like I wasn’t Irish enough.

Yesterday looked up a name on a ships manifest & bumped into Rudyard Kipling in cabin class! I thought should I note this down or not avoid another rabbit hole - so didn’t - now wondering if I should have - it would be madness to try to find it again - & what would I do with it anyway - so I won’t!
