Scottie’s world today
My blood sugar has been uncontrolled all day causing me to have periods of extreme tired. As my sugar soars and then the insulin fights to bring it down and then soars again I am seesawing between feeling OK and not able to keep my eyes open. I have been back to bed four times so far today. I feel I have not gotten anything done.
I found out that my part D insurance company wont pay for the insulin my doctor prescribed. Now I have to find what insulin they will cover and see if the doctor thinks that will work for me. It is not about what works best and what the doctor thinks will be the best choice for my medical condition, it is what the insurance company will pay at least part of. I sure could have used that lower drug prices and $15 insulin in the Build Back Better bill that wealthy yacht living Maserati driving Manchin says I don’t need.

If only the #NYT were this concerned about the debt when #TFG was ramming through tax cuts for corporations and rich people.
What about interest on the W Bush tax cuts and his two endless wars?
They said ‘don’t politicize the bench, no judicial activism’. They lied. It’s what conservatives do.
Most of the braindead Right have no idea of the mission of the Federalist Society. They can’t connect the dots between their grievances with life and a corporate fascist judiciary/SCOTUS.
How do you work for Putin without saying you work for Putin. Hawley is a Russian rat.
The media are underplaying Trump crimes.
Misogyny is MAGA gospel.
The media’s gender bias is obvious.
Women are punished. Men get ‘locker room’ BS.
Always a different set of rules for [mediocre white] men.
Would like to see this broken into Red State and Blue State deaths per capita to compare policies.
NYT avoids telling why the US has such a high death rate: right wing disinformation & Putin
The idea is to walk softly but carry a big stick. I agree with Ukraine on this. Russia would love it if Ukraine’s economy crashed and their businesses closed. That actually could be used by Russia to invade. So world, be ready to act but don’t scream about it world wide.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
Nope, not even close. What was requested is he stop promoting lies about a health crisis and getting people killed. Even he admitted he had to try harder to give the correct information.
No Biden did not base his pick just on skin color, skin color is just one of the qualifications he requires of the nominee. Those who keep complaining of this see only that he is picking a black woman as if it was a random person he seen on the street. The complainers are not even worth arguing because they are doing it in bad faith, wanting to find some fault with Biden, and fault at all.
What’s that have to do with car crash? he prison system in the US always fails. The reality is that it doesn’t rehabilitate. It teaches people to be better criminals. We have more people in the jail and prison than any other country. Yes, the system has certainly failed.
The right is up in arms because ICE is moving families to new locations. They act as if ICE has never moved people around the country and in the night at that. Well I posted on the many flights they did to hide kids taken from their families in the middle of the night. Companies started to refuse ICE to fly these scared kids who were under orders not to talk and who no one was allowed to talk to. This was the real abuse. These kids were taken from their families and taken across the country to be given to adoption agencies (usually christian adoption agencies)to place in families for money. That is called child trafficking.
So the cartoonist admits the average person in the US can not afford necessities which is increasing petty crimes of theft. I think it is time to tax the wealthy and large corporations the way they were taxed in the best economic times of the US such as the 1950’s so the government can take care of the needs of the people. The government can create programs to insure people have the things they need and are not so deep in poverty that they need to steal to stay warm and clothed.
I remember night flights when ICE took children who had been taken from their parents at the Southern border and taken across the US to mostly Christian adoption agencies to be placed with US families for a price. The frighted kids were not allowed to speak to anyone and ICE agents wouldn’t let anyone talk to the children. This is child trafficking. It was done under the tRump administration and it was because of the tRump separation policy that they had children they had to move around the country.
Complete lie. It is stupid to even promote that idea. Remember the US is a country of laws and the DA and Gov. of Texas along with other states have go to court to block every attempt that Biden has made to change rules at the border. The only one rule change that was made was that families seeking asylum are not detained but verified given ways to track them and sent to family or NGO’s in other parts of the country. There are cities and towns in the US that are welcoming as many immigrant families as they can get. Reality is the US has places dying because of lack of people living there. Immigrants bring life back to these places. But that is the only rule change. The borders are not open, apprehensions are up. Facts matter

And now some for fun
Scottie's Playtime 
Whoopi Goldberg made a foolish comment about the Holocaust. She apologized. Mike Lester nevertheless piled on.
Less than a year ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene, an actual member of the U S Congress, made vile comments trivializing the Holocaust in the context of criticizing mask mandates as tyrannous. Even Kevin McCarthy condemned them. Mike Lester bravely and forthrightly responded by . . . publishing cartoons condemning mask mandates as tyrannous.
This is, of course, the same Mike Lester who in October 2018, following the Tree of Life synagogue shooting, published cartoons attacking the criticism of Halloween costumes as cultural appropriation and depicting Stacy Abrams as a common thief. It’s pretty clear what bothers Mr. Lester and what doesn’t.
