Thoughts for the day
I
filled my vehicle with gas and bought a few groceries, just in case this
incoming storm keeps me inside for the weekend. The weather guy says 2” of
snow, then it’s 4”, and now it’s 6”. Only time will tell.
Trump
banned the AP from the White House, but it turns out, they can still be in the
press room. The story is because AP agreed that every leader can change the
name of places, but it only applies to that country, and they will continue to
use the world-wide accepted name. Trump still wants the water called Gulf of
America.
The
Senate keeps approving members of the Cabinet. I’m trying to stay calm as the
new Secretaries are making unusual proclamations. This is crazy…Sec of Defense
has returned Fort Bragg to its original name…but claims now it is named for a different Bragg, not the original one, a
confederate soldier.
Forgotten American Heros…
Fred
Korematsu
Fred
Korematsu challenged the U.S. government's internment of Japanese Americans
during World War II. His defiance led to a historic Supreme Court case that
questioned the constitutionality of internment.
Though
he initially lost, Korematsu’s case became a cornerstone for civil liberties
discussions in America.
In
1983, his conviction was overturned, and he was awarded the Presidential Medal
of Freedom in 1998. Korematsu's story emphasizes the importance of standing up
against injustice and the relentless pursuit of constitutional rights for all
citizens.
Mayan Culture of Mexico and beyond…
You can experience Mayan culture in
person.
The name “Maya” comes from the ancient
city Mayapan in the Yucatan peninsula. This was the final capital of the Mayan
Kingdom in the Post-Classic period.
"Maya" is the overarching
parent term, but the Maya people refer to themselves by specific ethnicity and
language, such as the Tzotzil Maya that live in the central highlands of
Chiapas in southern Mexico.
