Of course “Black lives matter”. The peaceful demonstrations matter. they speak out to all of us. Alas, however, the movement took a side turn when demonstrators started defacing buildings and tearing down statues all across the country.

Disbar William Barr
A friend of mine send this letter to me and I think it says everything that needs to be said and that can be said about William Barr and the destruction that he has wrought upon the department of justice and the social contract under which all of us live in this country. Please read …
