Trump To Endorse Vance In Ohio GOP Senate Primary

Trump To Endorse Vance In Ohio GOP Senate Primary

I post this not because I care who tRump endorses but because I want people to see the way the Republicans talk about anyone not them.   The way they talk about everyone else, the Democrats, the liberals, the average person in the street.   The automatic assumption of their superiority and their being so much better people than others.  Notice there is no talk of policies, no talk of what to do to help the public or even the overseas issues.    It is all hate the other person, as mean and disrespectful as you can be to appeal to the Republican base that loves it when tRump does it.   Do you really think these people will care about you or the country when they get into office?   

NBC News reports:

Former President Trump is planning to endorse J.D. Vance in Ohio’s crowded senate GOP primary, according to three sources with knowledge of his decision.

In recent days, Trump began calling donors and advisers to get their opinion endorsing on the “Hillbilly Elegy” author, but he held off under intense pressure from the rival Republican campaigns of Josh Mandel and Jane Timken, the sources said.

“The Mandel people hit the roof,” one Republican with knowledge of the discussions told NBC News, noting that Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan tried to dissuade Trump on behalf of Mandel, whom the congressman supports.

Vance has called for banning voting by “childless liberals.” Last year he complained to Fox News when Twitter banned Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. Later in that same show, he hailed Kyle Rittenhouse’s “manly virtues.” In January 2022, he falsely claimed that Capitol rioters are being held without charges.

Yep…his latest ad blames his mother’s drug addiction on “those illegals bringing drugs into the country,” and not the Sacklers who got her hooked on the oxy.

He hated Trump, until Thiel funded his election campaign, and then all his anti-Trump tweets “mysteriously” disappeared.

I guess all Republican political history, like their morality, is revisionist.

Tennessee Anti-Gay Marriage Bill Dead For Session

Tennessee Anti-Gay Marriage Bill Dead For Session

Please understand what this bill is about.   Bigotry!  Anti-same sex marriage.    It is the religious right wingers thinking that the icky gays stink up their straight marriages by being able to get married the same way they do.   What next separate roads or drinking fountains?   Every horrible apoptotic thing the religious right claimed would happen if the gays could get married has not happened, and they cannot stand it.    They don’t want to share a doorway or hotel with those people.   Let’s make a way the straight good holy people can get married, and we will deny that to the awful gays.   Fear them, fear the gays people they are coming for marriage and equal rights.  That must not be tolerated.   What next, they will have children and be recognized families.   No no we will make laws saying that to mention them in schools is illegal.   They cannot be allowed to use the same stores and shops we do.   We will erase them from the language and then they will disappear never to bother our sleepless nights again.   This sounds silly doesn’t it.   Yet it is happening in red states with Republican leaders and legislatures.   

The Tennessean reports:

A Tennessee General Assembly bill to create a legal marriage pathway available only to straight couples will not advance this year following public outcry over the initial version of the legislation.

After a tough line of questions from Republican colleagues last week, sponsor Rep. Tom Leatherwood on Wednesday said he wanted to send the bill to summer study. The move essentially kills the bill for the session, though it could re-emerge next year.

The bill aimed to create an alternate legal pathway to marriage, allowing opposite-sex couples to file marriage “contracts” based on common law principles that have not yet been legally recognized in Tennessee. The contracts would not be available to same-sex couples.

Read the full article.

Leatherwood’s bill was backed by the Family Action Council of Tennessee (FACT), which has appeared on JMG many times over the years for its attempts to outlaw same-sex marriage.

SPECIAL RIGHTS!

Old enough to remember when that label was used against the LGBTQ+ community.
Now, the homophobes “feel” they’re the ones that require special Rights.

“Back in the day everyone knew who the homosexuals and others were and just live and let live and as long as they didn’t bother anyone but now we get attacked and called names if they do get what they want. It’s like they’re something special so they need to be treated better and demand they get what they want. Why all the grief over three percent of the population. Why the demand that we have to agree with what they want but they won’t accept how everyone else wants to live or believe.”

Live and let live other then beating us, killing us and ensuring we had no equal rights under the law.

Max_1 Ragnar_Lothbrok • 3 hours ago

Yes… Separate but equal… except it’s not equal.

The homophobes have always depended on that balance of basic Rights being refused the LGBTQ+ community as evidence to support their views against the LGBTQ+ community. It’s a reinforced bias against us. Now that bias has been removed, watch their ways to reclaiming it…

Trump: I Told Bill Barr To Get Himself Impeached

Trump: I Told Bill Barr To Get Himself Impeached

Mediaiate has the transcript:

Look, we also had a chance, but Bill Barr, the attorney general, didn’t want to be impeached. They were vicious with him. They said, “We’re gonna impeach him.” They didn’t even know why. But they were gonna impeach Bill Barr. He didn’t want to be impeached.

How do you not to get impeached? You sit back and relax and wait out for your term to end. That’s what he did. And it was a sad thing and a sad day for our country. Then he writes a crummy book, which was so false. But you know what? Had Bill Barr had the courage, a lot of this could’ve been taken care of.

The U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia said Bill Barr told him not to investigate the fraud in the elections, and he said “Don’t do it.” And he wrote a letter to that effect and you know, had Bill Barr had the courage to do what he should’ve done instead of being worried about being impeached.

I said, “Look, get impeached. I went up a lot in the polls when I got impeached. You have to get impeached, maybe.” But he was so afraid of being impeached that he refused to do his job.

DeSantis Submits House Map That Erases Dem Districts

DeSantis Submits House Map That Erases Dem Districts

Florida Politics reports:

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office has submitted the map he wants lawmakers to pass in the upcoming Special Session. Sen. Ray Rodrigues, an Estero Republican and Chair of the Senate Reapportionment Committee, said he was briefed on the submission (P 0109). He said it’s one the Florida Senate can pass.

But while Republicans in Florida appear to be coalescing around the map, a growing number of Democrats assert the lines won’t withstand court scrutiny. “If this map is enacted, Florida will be sued,” tweeted Marc Elias, a Democratic attorney involved in redistricting legislation across the nation.

This map has 20 seats where Republican Donald Trump won the 2020 Presidential Election, and just eight seats won by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump won Florida by three percentage points.

Please understand that Florida is not a hard right state.  It is a swing state.  It used to be a Blue state until Republicans managed to start restricting voting which swung elections to the Republicans.   What the Republicans are doing here is killing democracy in Florida.   Half the state is Democratic voting yet we cannot win elections due to gerrymandering and  voter restrictions.   The more the Republicans cement their authoritarian rule the less they respond to the people but instead for the people to live under minority rule.   The Republican party is no longer wanting to have a democracy, they want power, pure power.   Instead of the people controlling the government the Republican party wants the government to control the people.    The Republican party is making it clear they want to be like Russia and China.

Mark Meadows removed from NC voter roll amid election fraud investigation

https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/2022/04/13/mark-meadows-removed-nc-voter-roll-amid-voter-fraud-investigation/7290257001/

Again with voter fraud it is the Republicans doing it.  This was tRump’s chief of staff. 

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

Mark Meadows has been removed from North Carolina’s voter rolls, a move made as the State Bureau of Investigation continues a probe into allegations the former White House Chief of Staff committed election fraud.

Macon County Board of Elections Director Melanie Thibault confirmed April 12 that she had removed Meadows the prior day from the county’s active voter list.

Thibault said she consulted N.C. Board of Elections staff in Raleigh after finding records that Meadows was registered both in Virginia and North Carolina. 

“What I found was that he was also registered in the state of Virginia. And he voted in a 2021 election. The last election he voted in Macon County was in 2020,” she said.

The state law under which he was removed was General Statute 163-57, which says, “if a person goes into another state, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district, or into the District of Columbia, and while there exercises the right of a citizen by voting in an election, that person shall be considered to have lost residence in that State, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district from which that person removed.”

Meadows spokesperson Ben Williamson did not respond to a request for comment.

Meadows, an ex-Asheville and Western North Carolina congressman, former top staffer for President Donald Trump and a leading proponent of the false claim that Trump lost the election due to widespread fraud, has not commented on the allegations since news broke in March that he registered to vote at a single-wide mobile home in Macon County where there is no evidence he ever lived. Meadows voted absentee using that address in the 2020 general election.

SBI spokesperson Anjanette Grube did not immediately respond to a message asking if the change in registration had any significance to the investigation. 

Thibault said Virginia records show that when Meadows registered in that state he did not include information about his Macon County registration. Because of that, Virginia election officials did not notify N.C. officials about the double registration, she said.

It is a normal practice to remove voters such a way, Thibault said.

The registration of Meadows’ wife Debra remains active for the Scaly Mountain address, which neither she nor her husband ever owned.

News first broke of the unlikely voter address with March 6 New Yorker story that cited interviews with neighbors, the owner and former owner who said Debra Meadows rented the home and stayed there a few nights but Mark Meadows was never seen there. 

Macon County Republican voters interviewed by the Citizen Times expressed skepticism a powerful member of the president’s staff lived in the small home with a rusted roof.

An N.C. woman who said she was prosecuted for mistakenly voting while on probation, meanwhile, called for Meadows to face a similar fate.

On March 17, the SBI announced its investigation. That followed a letter from District Attorney Ashley Hornsby-Welch — whose responsibilities include Macon County — to the N.C. Department of Justice recusing herself from the matter because of a campaign contribution she received from Meadows.

More recently, Meadows, a top member of the Conservative Partnership Institute, has stopped speaking at CPI-sponsored statewide Election Integrity Summits. The summits show how to organize “citizen election integrity task forces” to check on people’s voter records to ensure they live where they have registered.

One Million Moms Vs Credit Karma “Sexual Perversion”

Texas Agriculture Chief Blasts Gov Over Trucking Battle: You Are “Causing Food To Rot In The Trucks” [VIDEO]

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole:

Credit Karma continues to normalize the LGBTQ lifestyle with its liberal advertising choices. The company’s most recent ad, “Limo Valet,” focuses on a pregnant character (a former limo driver) and her current home life with her lesbian partner.

They are living in cramped quarters, which must change before the birth of their baby. Because the lesbian couple is able to monitor and raise their credit score, they have the means to move into a larger space for the family of three to call home. The commercial ends with the two lesbians sitting on the floor playing with their baby in their new home.

Promoting same-sex relationships has nothing to do with marketing a product. Instead of remaining neutral in the culture war, Credit Karma wants to make it clear where they stand on this controversial topic. 1MM spoke out when the company also aired a commercial featuring two gay men in October 2021.

One Million Moms continues to stand up for biblical truth. Romans 1:26-27 is very clear about this particular type of sexual perversion and sin.

TAKE ACTION: If you agree that this commercial featuring two lesbians who are expecting a baby together is inappropriate, please sign our petition urging Credit Karma to pull its “Limo Valet” ad immediately. And please share this with your friends and family.

The ad doesn’t seem to be on YouTube.

So let’s start with acknowledging that this is mostly a single woman who constantly uses her religious views to attack everything LGBTQ+ and she is constantly online doing it.  Her following is far from 1 million.   Last I looked it was almost 1 thousand.   Not sure what it is now.  But the thing is she uses her online platform to ack everything LGBTQ+ as anti-family.   We gays or what ever are destroying the good godly set up of god and we need to stop this shit right now.   What is the issue, well anything LGBTQ+ is horribly bad and god will extract revenge especially if it is on TV or in public.   She at one time had a following, but I now look at her mostly as a joke, except her views are gaining traction among the religious.  The religious who want to force their views on how everyone should be have and what our laws in a secular country are about.   That scares me.

Monica and her ilk are so disgusting that one of the commenters in a similar skreed of hers complained that commercials are also tying to normalize black people.
