THE OCEANGATE SCANDAL.

Have you heard about the OceanGate scandal yet?

           No, not the story of the tourist submersible that the company owned, or the story of OceanGate's CEO who tragically died piloting $1 Million worth of tourist seats to ogle the graveyard of the Titanic, its crew, and its passengers who went down with it.

           And no, not the story of the wrongful death lawsuits that from all the news reports it seems are likely to be filed right away, if they haven't been filed already.

          I mean the scandal of the loan to the OceanGate company of some reportedly $450,000 of COVID relief money in the guise of a PPP loan,  and the additional scandal that the OceanGate loan of COVID funds intended to relieve the pandemic, was reportedly forgiven so that the company does not have to repay a cent of the COVID money.

          I think that this is ironic, given the reluctance of some to forgive student loan debts even as OceanGate's "loan" was being forgiven.

          It truly is a scandal.  Do you think differently?

EQUAL PROTECTION A U.S. VALUE, BUT NOT IN TEXAS FRAUDIT.

Reportedly the current governor of Texas is obeying The Former Guy and conducting a review of the voting in only 4 Texas counties, 3 of which voted for President Biden.  The review is a fraudit and it violates the Equal Protection Clause.

          Putting aside other questions about the Texas fraudit for a moment, the fraudit violates the Equal Protection Clause.  It singles out some counties from others, some voters and not others, some results and not other results.  It is a political power play by the temporarily strong against the currently weak.

          In the United States, we honor Equal Protection.  We do not ignore it, or disrespect it, or try to dismantle it.

          The Texas fraudit is more than a distraction from the worst loss at the polls in the history of U.S. presidential elections history.

          It is unconstitutional.
