"Mass catastrophe against due process" could have been the headline of Lauren FitzPatrick et al's story in today's Sun-Times of how our racist, cruel, government has been waging war on asylum seekers, packing the Chicago immigration bench with Okie toadies. chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

It’s now nearly impossible to get asylum in Chicago immigration court

Asylum was historically hard to obtain but since Trump returned to office, a shake-up at immigration courts in Chicago and across the country has put judges under pressure to deny asylum petitions.

Is AI really going to duplicate the human brain? Not until it can react the way Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa reminded me that today is my 2nd diabetesversary. (I was on the train when my doc told me I had crazy hi blood sugar and should go to an ER. I went to Gibson's, where Sosa came over to our table).

This weekend's architecture column. "Other highlights over the last 100 days: four marriage proposals at the center; three bald eagles sighted; 11,424 Obama Burgers served up at Tafari’s Kitchen restaurant and 150 people dancing the Electric Slide on the John Lewis Plaza."

Obama Presidential Center's price tag: Almost $1 billion

The construction price was among a score of new figures released by the Obama Foundation to mark the center's 100th day of operation.

Remember: Trump reflects America. As Tolstoy wrote: "Power is based on the conditional handing over to rulers of the sum total of the wills of the masses, and that historical figures have power only on conditions of carrying out the programs which the will of the people has tacitly agreed to."
