No One Dies Lying
On the twenty-second of May, 1929, at Fort Riley, Kansas, a woman named Zenana Shepard sent her nurse to a closet for a bottle of bootleg whiskey. She said the liquor had a strange smell and a strange taste, and she asked whether enough remained in the bottle to test it for poison. Then she said the sentence that would outlive her by four years and travel all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States: "Dr. Shepard has poisoned me." The doctor was her husband, Charles A. Shepard, a major in the Army medical corps, and the government would later argue he had salted that whiskey with bichloride of mercury because he loved a woman named Grace Brandon and his wife declined to divorce him. Zenana Shepard died on the fifteenth of June. Her husband was convicted of her murder, and her sentence, the spoken one, did much of the convicting. […] -

Constitutional Lawyer Robert Barnes and Larry C. Johnson: “They All Know Trump is Losing It!”
Posted by Jerry Alatalo | April 18, 2026
[Editor’s note: Confabulation is a memory error consisting of the production of fabricated, distorted, or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world. It is generally associated with certain types of brain damage or a specific subset of dementias. While still an area of ongoing research, the basal forebrain is implicated in the phenomenon of confabulation. People who confabulate present with incorrect memories ranging from subtle inaccuracies to surreal fabrications, and may include confusion or distortion in the temporal framing of memories… It is worth noting that, among the many relevant topics covered and disturbing facts revealed by Mr. Barnes and Mr. Johnson, Barnes shares that Donald Trump talks to controversial far-right conservative commentator Sean Hannity every night. Please share this important, timely discussion between Robert Barnes and Larry Johnson far and wide. Feel free to share your thoughts and/or responses in the comments. Thank you very much. Peace.]

Description: The more Trump’s show is running, the more his closest allies seem to be walking on eggshells. 100% narcissism, pure madness and hot temper — is anyone besides JD Vance even trying to bring Trump back to reality? In this episode ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson and constitutional lawyer Robert Barnes are diving deep into serious issue – will Donald Trump still be president in a year?

Modernizing Shakespeare can be bold or just awkward. Keeping the original verse while dropping it into a world of helicopters, firearms, and contemporary politics often creates more distraction than insight. Some adaptations embrace the theatrical roots and soar; others land in a strange middle ground where nothing quite fits.

Went to see "King Lear" as performed by the actors at The Commonweal Theatre in Lanesboro, Minnesota.
Wonderful production. Modern clothing with some actors playing multiple roles.
They have this Friday and Saturday and a Sunday matinee closing show left. If you're in the area and can afford the money and time it's well worth it.

After a hard day of #AgingInPlace aged care including too much back office Google-type technocrap, I'm settling down for a relaxing 1:12 hr:min of a dangerously deluded manipulative parent, career-minded offspring, mass violence, despair, betrayal & god knows what other delights, contained in a #TableTopShakespeare of #KingLear performed by #RobinArthur of #ForcedEntertainment with appearances by a stella cast of sauces bottles, bicycle shed lubricants & glass cylinder vases. -
