What an amazing week we've had! Grandbaby number 10 has been born! What a joy to have a new family member. Our daughter, son in law and the babe are doing great.

I made dinner for them on Tuesday and we all got to go hold the baby and welcome her to the family. She is darling!

My friend Jane is now visiting with other PA friends. We took her to the Big Valley on Wednesday, and enjoyed lunch together. She called this her Pennsylvania tour. Started off for a long weekend with one set of friends, then with us for 10 days, and now with another set for 10 days, then she'll head home. She's the best!

Now, I have a week to get myself organized and reoriented after a super fun summer!

This is not good news for Fauci.

Remember his pardon is only a Federal pardon. Individual states can go after him, some have already started the process!

Ah! 

That's all I have for today! I hope you have a great weekend!

I'm having a blast with my dear friend this week! We are enjoying trips to the Amish produce stands, eating local tomatoes, peaches, lettuce. 

I'm so grateful for this time together.

Here's the info for the week!

CLARENCE THOMAS JUST PUBLISHED THE EXACT ARGUMENT FOR WHY THE SUPREME COURT'S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP RULING IS CONSTITUTIONALLY WRONG

Not a political objection. Not a policy disagreement. NAMED HISTORY. SPECIFIC TEXT. Amendment by amendment.

14th Amendment, 1868 — "ONE pervading purpose": securing equal citizenship for FREED SLAVES after the Civil War

Reconstruction Congress intent — zero evidence the drafters contemplated children of foreign temporary visitors or illegal aliens

"Subject to the jurisdiction" clause — Thomas: means full political allegiance, not mere physical presence on US soil

The majority opinion — Thomas says it REPURPOSED the Amendment to protect preferred rights the drafters NEVER contemplated

Thomas's direct quote — those rights "CANNOT find support in the text today"

His warning on the ruling — "I am not sure that today's opinion will stand the test of time"

Thomas during April 2026 oral arguments — probed whether immigration debates even existed when the 14th was written

His core distinction — freed slaves were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans with no other homeland; children of foreign nationals are not in the same category

Roberts and Barrett — joined the liberal bloc in the 6-3 majority in Trump v. Barbara

Gorsuch — joined Thomas in dissent; Alito filed a separate dissent

91 pages

1 purpose the 14th Amendment actually had, per Thomas

ZERO rights the Reconstruction Congress contemplated for children of foreign nationals

100% of Thomas's argument grounded in the specific post-Civil War historical record — not modern policy preference

Every argument on this list is anchored in the text and history of the Amendment. Not in what the Court wishes it said. In what the people who wrote it actually intended.

The Court's ruling stands. But Thomas put a 91-page marker on the record.

Thomas's dissent is still ticking. These are the arguments at the core of it.

I got this from FB and I am so grateful for Justice Thomas!

Marco Rubio is a great Secretary of State!

These two photos from an interview with his wife crack me up!

This is incredibly scary!

Did you hear about this?

Incredible!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
