“Just Icelandic”

Congratulations (click here)

This website has to qualify as citizen scientist of the year. It was the first to sound the warning that would lead to the evacuation of an entire town saving thousands of lives.

Citizen scientists around the world are the using heroes of Earth. It is remarkable to realize this website and its creator single handedly alerted an entire city of its potential fate. 

Absolutely amazing and so very dedicated to the truth.

Clarence Thomas needs to be impeached.

No one did this travesty to Thomas, he did it all by himself, except perhaps, pillow talking Ginny.

Thomas has to go!

$285,400. That's the salary for associate justices of the Supreme Court in 2023. The amount is less than the court's salary in 2000 when adjusted for inflation; the previous salary of $173,600 would be worth approximately $315,782 today.

More than a quarter million dollars in salary, a full time judicial staff, and expense budget and Thomas is blackmailing conservative legislators.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (click here) pressed a lawmaker in 2000 to raise justices’ salaries, sparking concerns among Republicans that he’d resign if Congress didn’t, ProPublica reported Monday—raising more speculation about an influx of gifts from wealthy friends that Thomas received in the ensuing years that have already sparked an ethics controversy at the court....

All of this is illegal. All of it. Seeking to intimidate a freely elected government official is illegal. It is just that simple. Thomas needs to up on charges for coercion. Accompanying  those charges his law license needs review and revocation. This level of unethical conduct of a Supreme Court Justice is at the very least appalling.

The difference between Thomas and the former Justice Souter is astounding. Souter was interested in his work and lived humbly all those years. As soon as he retired he had time to look for a home more suitable for his many books and family and moved to a love new home. But, his reasoning was impeccable.

While the new home is only eight miles from his rustic farmhouse, the two could be worlds apart.

...Justice Souter (click here) told a Weare neighbor, Jimmy Gilman, that the two-story farmhouse was not structurally sound enough to support the thousands of books he owns, according to The Concord Monitor, and that he wished to live on one level....

...“It was quite a shock to us to learn that he’s moving,” said Betty Straw, who taught Justice Souter in sixth grade. “While we’re sorry — we had hoped he would come back to Weare — we understand the circumstances. It seems more desirable to make a move, and we have to abide by his decision.”

Justice Souter bought the new home from Michele Perkins, the president of New England College in Henniker.

“My husband, James, and I have always admired and respected Justice Souter and are delighted that he has returned to New Hampshire,” President Perkins said in a statement. “We wish Justice Souter every happiness in his new home.”
