Can't Make This UP! American Bar Assoc. Shares BLISTERING Anti-DOGE Letter, There's Just One BIG Problem

Oh NO! The American Bar Association is big mad at Trump and, of course, Elon Musk and Big Balls for 'dismantling' USAID.

They were so mad that they dropped a BLISTERING statement about it.

You know they mean business when they not only drop a statement, BUT it's blistering. Whoo dawgie!

But wait a minute ….

There’s a reason lawyers are ranked just below realtors and car salesmen on the virtue pyramid

We reported on this previously, but here's a fun update

Star Canadian singer stripped of prestigious honor after ongoing Indigenous ancestry dispute

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation News reported Buffy Sainte-Marie was born to White parents

Though Sainte-Marie repeatedly criticized the investigation as an attack against her, the Canadian government’s official publication, the Canada Gazette, announced that her appointment to the Order of Canada had been rescinded.

"Notice is hereby given that the appointment of Buffy Sainte-Marie to the Order of Canada was terminated by Ordinance signed by the Governor General on January 3, 2025," the Gazette published on Saturday.

Rumours of her spurious ancestry had followed the singer around for at least a decade, but finally caught up with her back in 2023, as noted here at FWIW:

But she did scalp tickets, and grew up in a wigwam with Elizabeth Warren

Buffy Sainte-Marie is neither a Canadian nor a Cree

Folksinger Buffy Sainte-Marie got her start in the Greenwich Village scene and during the 1960s became an indigenous icon. In 1975 she showed up on “Sesame Street” proclaiming, “We want kids to understand that Indians exist. We really are real.” And as Buffy explained, “Cree Indians are my tribe, and we live in Canada.”  That nation showered Sainte-Marie with awards, made her a companion of the Order of Canada, and even put her on a postage stamp.

In 2019, St. Marie appeared at a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) music festival, where she complained about “moms who have such a pride in family, maybe patriotism and tradition,” before her performance of  “The Universal Soldier.” Behind the scenes, the CBC was busy checking birth records, newspaper accounts, and interviewing relatives. Last month, the CBC’s  6,000-plus-word report outed the soi disant Cree from Saskatchewan as Beverly Jean Santamaria, born in 1941 in Stoneham, Massachusetts, with no indigenous ancestry whatsoever.

UPDATE:Lizzy Warren is pissed:

There's always some Sidney Spoilsport who has to come along and ruin the party

nothing about marrying the ring bearer, though

Busybody CT legislator with nothing better to do wants to ban marriage between consenting cousins.

A proposed bill, introduced by state Rep. Devin Carney, R-Old Saybrook, now before the legislature’s judiciary committee would add “cousin,” to the list of people Connecticut residents may not legally marry.

“Somebody actually sent me an article about it. Tennessee recently banned it. They passed a law to ban it,” Carney said. “I was told it's not banned in Connecticut, so I started looking into it and over 30 states do ban it, and Connecticut is not one of them.”

Representative Carney refused to divulge to FWIW the reason he is so otherwise unoccupied that he has time for matters like this, but he does deny that he was responsible for the law already on the books that declares invalid “The marriage of a niece and her uncle in Italy.” “Someone beat me to that one”, he admits, “but I’ll find something equally compelling to address — what would you think of a ban on Armenian left-handed seamstresses hooking up with one-legged ox cart drivers? Or Eskimo mukluk nibblers tying the knot with an RCMP or his horse?”


Contract on North Street

/

351 North Street, $8.750 million; originally started at $10.750 million in July, ‘24, pre-construction. The builder paid $1.650 for this lot in 2021, so there was plenty of room for a “price improvement”.

The design does nothing for me, but I’m not the target demographic.

i though bad marble and gold bath fixtures had gone out of style 15 years ago; are they back, or were these just warehouse leftovers from that period?

I’ll admit to a mind twisted toward the double entendre, but mayonnaise in a scene infamously about orgasm?

well, i never!

No, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, but reading this post this morning makes me wonder what else I missed.

And this would be different from current practice how? (Updated)

Our native idiot and wannabe president Chris Murphy is at it again:

"The president wants to be able to decide how and where money is spent so that he can reward his political friends. He can punish his political enemies. That is the evisceration of democracy."

we gotta protect our phoney baloney jobs!

UPDATE:

David Strom: HOW BUREAUCRATS THINK ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY: “Elon Musk and DOGE are doing what amounts to a comprehensive audit of the federal government, and it is driving the Democrats nuts. This is, of course, because the federal budget is their piggy bank that funds both the leftists themselves and all their evil plans.”
