Gorsuch and Trump

Back in 2017, when President Trump took office and nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill the vacancy in the supreme court, I noted that Gorsuch had a much more restrained outlook on federal power than Trump. I even predicted (if only I had this blog going at the time so I could link it ... oh well, maybe next time!) that at some point during Trump's tenure he would be trying to do something controversial and the man he nominated would be the swing vote to say "No, you really don't have the power to do that."

Well, it has happened. Just a couple weeks ago I saw the news Neil Gorsuch joins liberals in 5-4 decision. I like that Gorsuch is already asserting his ability to make decisions based on his own principles rather than just following the party line. It looks like the nomination of Gorsuch to the Supreme Court may be one of the best things to come out of the Trump Presidency.

A Return to Blogging

Some years ago I started this blog. The vague memories let me know that it did not last long, and I do not think there was much lost in its passing. The posts are all gone, I suppose I deleted them, or they got lost somewhere? Anyway, the important thing is that this is an empty slate.

Recently I have been thinking that I should start a blog, and I have been considering the ways to go about doing that. I happened to stumble upon this blog that I had forgotten about, and it seems like a convenient place to start. In the future, if this goes well (or rather, if I can stick with it), I will consider setting up an actual blog somewhere like Pizarro.

Welcome to my new adventure!

Caffeine

This post is just me trying some stuff out to test how the blogging platform works. Rather than just saying "testing, testing", I thought I would include a nice picture I drew of a molecule I like to consume.

Caffeine

Shown above is the molecular structure of the caffeine molecule, also known as 1,3,7-trimethylxanthene. It is a stimulant found naturally in plants such as coffee and tea.
