Comments

Hello Everyone.  I have not been feeling well the last few days, and I stopped eating.  This morning I woke up in a soaking sweat, like I was in a shower or swimming pool.  I woke Ron who helped me take my blood sugar, and it was 46.  Ron was going out of his mind.  He kept telling me we needed to go to the hospital.  I took four glucose tablets and went back to bed.  I was then able to sleep a few hours.  Then I got up.  I have felt like shit all day. But I wanted to address comments before I go to bed.  I will spend tomorrow morning doing comments until I get all caught up.  Thanks for commenting; I love reading them.   Hugs

In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court cleared the way for President Donald Trump to continue building the White House ballroom, rejecting a challenge from a preservation group that was seeking to indefinitely halt the controversial project. https://cnn.it/3UsAOqU

Trump immediately blames Joe Biden for the 13 deaths at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan. Trump forever forgets he caused the withdrawal problem by negotiating with the Taliban without the Afghan government involved. The withdrawal took longer than the timetable he created.#Trump #Afghanistan #AbbeyGate

MAGA had a meltdown when 13 servicemembers were killed at Abbey Gate trying to evacuate after Trump surrendered to the Taliban. Now the Republicans think it's funny that 13 servicemembers have been killed in the GOP's latest Never Ending War in the Middle East. http://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-…

Hey MAGA, remember when Donald Trump freed 5000 Taliban without even speaking to the Afghani government – then the Taliban took over the Afghani government? Then he struck a deal to get out of there and blamed Joe Biden for the Chaos he left behind, I do!

Remember when Trump released 5000 Taliban and one of them is now President of Afghanistan?

NBC News Crew BEATEN LIVE By Israeli Settlers

I have had this ready to post for several days. But due to how hard it is to watch and the way the settlers openly abuse the Palestinians with the Israeli government’s blatant permission I was not sure if the viewers wanted to see it.  But we have to show how things are going and Israel is doing a genocide by trying to kill and drive the Palestinians from the West Bank and has decided to take all of Gaza now.  The Palestinians that survive after the killing of so many of them and the milisous shooting of children for target practice, the killing of medical personnel, and the starving of the people along with now Israel cutting off all sources of water will be forcibly removed / deported.  Any that refuse to leave will be killed.  One of the Israeli ministers posted AI videos of Palestinians in a concentration camp that implied they were abused. This is what the entire program was for: to retake all of Gaza and the West Bank for Israel like they did all other Palestinian land so there could never be a two state solution and no Palestinians left in what Israel illegally calls their country.  They are illegally taking over parts of Lebanon.  Their goal has always been the greater Israeli.  And the only reason they are getting away with these atrocities and horrors is because the US is protecting them from the retailation of those that Israel abuses and attacks.  Biden was too blinded by the past and his age to force Israelis to stop and wouldn’t even cut off the largest 2,000 pound bombs dropped on tent cities. tRump’s military protected Israel rather than US military bases resulting in the deaths and injuries of US military personnel.  Plus a large part of the US Congress is deeply in the pocket of the Israeli lobby called AIPAC.  The corporate democrats are so beholden to the large sums of money that they are helping AIPAC try to destroy the campaigns of progressive and DSA democrats even if it means not gaining control of the Congress.  Corporate Israel supporting Democrats would rather stay a minority party if it means keeping the huge sums of money given to Israel with no strings flowing.   Hugs

I am sorry this is late.  I had a long doctor appointment this morning, and after I did two days of dishes.  Right now Ron is chopping peppers, onions, and celery for me to make a thick chili max supper. So I need to post this now with what is here.  My eye sight is so bad that the memes and cartoon posts are the easiest for me to do.    Sorry.  Hugs

gravity always wins this argument

On the picture above, I once worked for Walmart.  A young kid was ordered to put heavy grills up on the top of a shelf (riser). I noticed he was struggling to lift these heavy boxes by himself and was struggling.  So I took another ladder and started to help him work together.  Then this boy had reached his limit, and as he tried to pass a grill box up to me he lost it, his shoulders gave out, he lost the strength in his arms, and the heavy grill came down on him and started to knock him off the ladder.  I realized what was happening and pushed out with my arms knocking the heavy grill box out over the boy.  Walmart tried to blame me and make me pay for the damaged grill.  I quit on the spot.  I saved the boy and had a choice: either let the company blame me for their mistake or lose my job.  Lucky for me I never took that job out of need, and I never regretted walking away from it.  When I got home Ron wanted to sue them.  I just never wanted anything to do with a company that would let a kid try to stack very heavy things over his head alone and then when he / his body failed, try to blame the guy who kept him from being knocked off the ladder to the concrete floor with a heavy grill box landing on him.  The kid was so grateful to me; I was a decade older than him. I simply told him, if you see someone your age now when you are my age in trouble help them not caring what happens. Like I did you. I simply instinctively moved to use both arms to push the heavy box out over him. I have since learned it caused the damage in my left shoulder to accelerate that took the brunt of the grill box fall. Would I do it again? Oh yes. The local Walmart manager tried to make me pay them for the grill. I told them to sue me for it and we will see how a jury sees what I did.  They mailed my last check, and I never saw any of them again.  Hugs

What’s “extremist” about Ben Gvir is that he says out loud what Israel’s mainstream political establishment prefers to do quietly under the false pretense of “fighting terrorism.”
