The Schloss-Blog is monitoring some things that have "disciplinary" embedded into them.
Like in Deptford, NJ, where the Little League has adopted a rule that parents who abuse umpires (of 10- and 11-year olds' games) shall be forced to ump three games themselves or face a one-year banishment from the league's facilities.
As a "guest" umpire, of course, they'd be facing the same abuse they'd been dishing out.
It's so about time for something like this. Kudos to the powers-that-be for Little League in Deptford.
Take that, nasty parents.

What the U.S. and its NATO allies couldn't do - stop Putin - the Wagner Group might do internally. But what's going to stop Putin from blaming the U.S. and NATO for spawning this and then invading a non-NATO country like Latvia, saying it's coming from there? Putin's desperate and just might.

A quick congratulations to Theresa Scarbrough, upon achieving her Master's degree in strategic communication. Great student, ace photographer and just a patient, tolerant, intelligent, intellectual person.
Proud of, happy for you, Theresa.

The guy who used a stun gun repeatedly on Metro police office Michael Fanone during the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, got a 12-plus-year prison sentence as his reward.
Daniel Rodriguez, still proclaiming "Trump won," was taken off to prison after sentence was pronounced.
As more and more of the insurrectionists get sentenced to prison, is it only a matter of time until the puppet master who summoned them gets convicted as well?
Donald Trump is still under investigation for this and special counsel Jack Smith has reportedly been offering limited immunity to some who posed as electors from swing states to try to help Trump illicitly overturn the election.
Smith. Will. Get. Him.
Trump calls people like Rodriguez "patriots." Everyone else calls them inmates.

How old are you? How old were you in 1980?
If the answer to the latter is 30, you were right on the national median age.
Which, now, is 38.9, some 40+ years later.
Which means that America, going forward, will have problems with funding for support systems for its ever-aging population.
Good thing Republicans want to cut things like Social Security and Medicare to relieve that, huh?

The Titan went down to view the Titanic and this time, didn't come back.
Sad. Grieving for the families of those lost.
Titan owners bypassed certification processes for the submersible.
Sadder.

Adam Schiff, the Democratic Congressman from California, was censored by House Republicans, who apparently are on a mission to strike at Democrats who ever said things not positive about Donald Trump (which is easy to do).
Apparently, House Republicans have no desire to do something useful, like anything that would help the American people.
Schiff, for his part, is essentially giving House Republicans a big middle finger in response.

Get this: In Japan, they've raised the "age of consent" from 13 (think about that bar and bat mitzvah boys and girls) to 16. It's still said to be the lowest in the world.
Legislators behind this say it's to protect the LGBTQ community. Why do I think it could be to protect those among themselves who have taken illicit lovers?

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.
