'You ever chopped cotton before?'

Image
  Judge admonished for making racially insensitive remarks to Black defendant and being snarky with public defenders. A  Florida  judge is facing a public reprimand after he made racially insensitive remarks when he asked a Black man if he ever "chopped cotton before." According to the commission's  findings , Jordan was presiding over a plea hearing for a 33-year-old Black woman in a felony battery case in July 2025. The state was asking Jordan to impose 30 hours of community service. Jordan asked the defendant's great-uncle if he owned any farm land. "All my family's farming," Jordan said, according to the commission. "They'd love me out there. You ever chopped cotton before? You know what that is? You take a hoe and you knock out the weeds.

  Today Bunny saw a person walking past the house having an animated conversation with herself.  Figured she was off her rocker.   Then, noticed the small, wireless earphones.  On the phone.  Coming from the age  of phones being wired into the wall, this still takes Bunny by surprise. Any such for you?

A few words........

Image
 OR maybe more than a few words, as I may be feeling verbose. Geri has left me. Again. On her way back to Minnesota to visit her daughter. Worried about border crossing. Wants to delete her social media history from her cellphone. Not that she ever said anything about Trump, politics not her thing, but............. How did we ever get here where we need to worry about our cellphones being looked at crossing the border?  Anyway, home ALONE the next 5 weeks. What to do? What to do?  Meanwhile, I will mention, that it appears we  here on Disqus are dying a slow death. BNR is still going strong, but OMG, how anyone can stomach the comments made by some on there is beyond me. Maybe I am just a sensitive SNOWFLAKE. But yesterday, Kat posed her weekly thread on her forum, and a total of three regulars left a comment. Even Germaine is suffering from Disqus fatigue and disinterest. Or is it Trump fatigue?  Here we have a hand full of loyal followers still kicking around,...

  You have a chance to be sent into the past to live out the rest of your life.  Other than nondescript clothes you are wearing, you aren’t allowed to bring anything with you.   Nothing at all.  Also, it needs to far enough so you will not interfere with yourself or family. Would you go?  If so, where and when? J.P. Bunny
