The Deliberate Stranger
A few nights ago I was riding around with Ted Bundy. Yes, I know he's been dead since 1989, but regardless, there it is. I was sitting in the passenger seat of an old pickup truck, and he parked some distance from the building. It was, I take it, a nursing home, and he walked slowly across the parking lot. He must have sauntered the same way through the Chi Omega Sorority House in 1978.

The Trump Indictment
In a historic turn of events, on a fateful Tuesday, Donald Trump faced felony charges directly tied to his relentless attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. These efforts reached their climax in the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol orchestrated by his fervent supporters. The Justice Department, acting as the guardian of democratic principles, sought to hold him accountable for not only obstructing the peaceful transfer of presidential power but also threatening the very fabric of American democracy itself. The indictment, consisting of four counts, provided a piercing glimpse into the dark and tumultuous episode that had already undergone extensive federal investigations and public hearings. It laid bare the web of falsehoods spun over months, as Trump and his legal team propagated claims of election fraud without a shred of credible evidence. And when the flames of these baseless lies ignited the chaotic insurrection, Trump seized the moment to further delay the counting of votes, desperately hoping to salvage an illusory victory. This marked the third criminal case against Trump, which alleged conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government and assault a fundamental tenet of democracy. It was an unprecedented moment in American history - a defeated president, who was also the likely presidential nominee of a major party for the following year, facing legal repercussions for his desperate grasp at power.
