1A: Shortly after Jennifer Combs posted about poor water quality in Trinidad, Texas (pop. 860), she was arrested on felony charges for “spreading false information.” Combs, who has never had so much as a traffic ticket, spent 23 hours in jail. The charges were dropped when the grand jury refused to indict and Combs is now suing.

Her attorney says, “I really hope not only that I get justice for Jennifer in this case, but that this sends a chilling effect to other government agents who think that they can throw people in a cage just because they exercise their First Amendment rights and their opinions that the government might not like. We have plenty of evidence that this was all a concerted effort to silence my client for uncovering and talking about the water problems there that they were trying to cover up.”

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS: On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed legislation that would end the biannual daylight saving time clock changes in the United States permanently. Since Trump is in favor of it, I expect Democrats will tell us it’s racist and a threat to democracy.

    Poor Britain. I’m so glad we don’t have that kind of tyranny in… waitaminnit! Texas‽‽ At least saner heads prevailed.

    DAYLIGHT SAVINGS:

    Good idea: Stop changing the clocks twice a year
    Bad idea: Making “Saving Time” the year-’round setting

    Apologies to those who like DST, but it’s as ignorant as needing the government to tell you to breath.
