One thing that Jon did not point out. While Tucker was going on how low the prices are in Russia, the price for the small amount of groceries he got which he claimed was a weeks worth … really small eaters there, was over half the monthly income of the average Russian. So Tucker blew half the money the average Russian earns on one week’s food alone. I think as hard as things are in the US, we still have it better. By the way, Stewart’s comedic timing and ability is still spot on, I think. Hugs. Scottie
What Beau is referring to is an N.B or transgender teen who was brutally assaulted in a girls’ bathroom. Notice that the attacks on trans and non-binary people in bathrooms got much worse at the urging of right wing hate preachers / politicians. Notice it is the rhetoric is always that trans people will hurt your daughters, but the facts show that is wrong. It is the trans people being hurt by cis people. For needing to use a toilet. I did not post the quote but in the first article it mentions Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s superintendent of public instruction, is facing intense scrutiny over his ties to Chaya Raichik, the figure behind the far-right Libs of TikTok hate account, and for their outspoken stance against transgender rights.

The grandmother, Sue Benedict, told The Independent that her child had been the subject of months of intensifying bullying that began earlier in 2023 after Oklahoma’s Republican-led government banned transgender students from using school bathrooms that align with their gender identity.Benedict told their grandmother that they and another trans student had fought the other students in the bathroom, according to the Independent. The teen told her they’d hit their head on the floor. “Nex did not see themselves as male or female,” Sue Benedict said. “Nex saw themselves right down the middle. I was still learning about it, Nex was teaching me that.” https://news.yahoo.com/oklahoma-transgender-student-dies-allegedly-125629309.html

What is nonbinary?
A nonbinary person experiences their gender identity and/or gender expression outside of the binary categories of “man” and “woman.” Other words may be used by nonbinary people to describe their gender more specifically, including agender, bigender, demigender and pangender.
Some nonbinary people call themselves transgender and consider themselves part of the transgender community, while others do not.
“Nonbinary is an umbrella term that encompasses many different ways to understand one’s gender,” according to GLAAD.
What is transgender?
Transgender describes a person whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
A person can be transgender without having gone through a transition — the process in which a person brings their gender expression and/or their body into alignment with their gender identity. A transition can include a social transition, legal transition and medical transition.
What is cisgender?
Cisgender refers to a person who is not transgender, and whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth.
Total Chaos: What A Palestinian American Doctor Saw In Gaza
I posted on this the other day. I was outraged about the sneaky way it was done and how if a left leaning group was to do this, the right would lynch someone. So it is appropriate that I post the follow-up. Hugs. Scottie
Dallas’s ABC affiliate reports:
A Keller ISD school board member announced on Facebook Sunday she will resign from her position. In a post from her now-deleted page, Sandi Walker wrote she decided to resign as a trustee after prayer and conversations with friends and family. Walker added she was proud of what the board had accomplished in her nearly two years as a member.
Walker was one of two KISD trustees who issued apologies amid controversy about an Evangelist film crew from the Netherlands who was allowed into a school and filmed students without the district’s or parents’ consent. The district confirmed this happened on Feb. 9.
The superintendent says the film crew assured them no students or teachers would be visible in their final product. The district says its lawyers have “directed the film crew to destroy all footage it collected or return it to Keller ISD.”
Read the full article. My first post on the incident is here. The evangelical network that hired the film crew recently produced a documentary titled “God, Jesus, Trump.”
I bet it was a conversation with an attorney was the real reason to bail.
And how do we know 100% of that all video footage was destroyed. They’ve shown they can’t be trusted. Anyway, I’d still sue them and the school district.
P.S. Maybe this religious freak with come up with a Bible verse that covers being sued into the stone age.
Fascinating how she prayed over the decision to resign, but she apparently didn’t bother to pray over the decision to commit this offensive act in the first place.
Maybe there’s a lesson for her in there, somewhere…
I’m sure she did. Her ‘god’ told her he was cool with it. I suppose ‘he’ changed his mind, or something.
She very easily had a ‘feeling’ that Jesus was talking directly to her, so she responded with her gut.
And now she’s going to find out exactly how that failed mode of being is going to bankrupt her. The lawsuit will be expensive.
Any action, no matter how criminal or heinous, is okay if you’re doing it for Jesus. See: murdering women’s healthcare providers.
why is it Jesus only tells them they fucked up after the fact?
It’s nice to see parents standing up to the Christian Groomers.
The evangelical network that hired the film crew recently produced a documentary titled “God, Jesus, Trump.”
So they let insane people have access to children without their parents’ consent. It’s no wonder the parents are upset.
That thing where conservatives are outraged that strangers have access to children:
This was illegal. Most HS students are minors. You can’t put them in tv or in a movie without parental consent. This is a legal mess for the school that has only just started.
Let me re-write this. I got caught. I fucked up. I should have never been elected with my Jesus ideology. I’m not sorry in the least.
“The Jesus made me do it!”
No apology whatsoever, typical “good christian”.
Why do they always have to shove their goddamn idiot lifestyles in our face?
GOP: Trans persons will sneak into school and rape our kids!
I don’t understand this ruling at all. How even religious extremists could find a frozen embryo or any embryo a “minor child” defies all medical knowledge of biology. Of what cells are, of what happens in the reproductive track through the stages of fetal development. Hell I don’t even know it all to be honest and I read up on it. But medically at the point where it is not even implanted in a host it is not even a potential child. And that is all a pregnancy is until viability, a potential possible future maybe child that the body could expel at any time. There is no mystery that medically this makes no sense. So the real question is in 2024 is the US going to be governed by dark age superstitions or real medical science? But as always religious extremists can never be happy to win the right to force their views on some people, they must drive on until they have the right to force their religious superstitions on everyone. Yet they claim being forced to use a trans person’s preferred pronouns are an infringement of their civil rights, but the right to control female bodies and other people’s reproduction / sexual choices is normal and their right. Hell these people won’t take a vaccine to save hundreds of thousands of people from dying, they won’t wear a mask because it violates their civil rights. But telling people who they can have sex with, how they may dress, and what kind of sex they are allowed, and of course preventing life-saving medical procedures for pregnant people are somehow fine for them to do? I don’t have the stomach to repost the rant of the religious bigot group as they now try to use the Alabama ruling to force the state of Florida to disallow the abortion ballot measure.

I want to thank Rawgod for this post. See, it is hard for me to hold the information in my head of all of Biden’s hard fought achievements and the ones he is still fighting to accomplish. But Rawgod put it in an easy to read and understand format. See that is what the republicans are trying desperately to obscure. They need and want to keep the public from seeing all the good Biden has done because their candidate screwed everything up only helping out the wealthy with a huge tax cut that benefited … him with large cutouts for real estate developers. WTF! Nothing Biden has managed to do profits him personally, but tRump did. Hugs. Scottie
