Last Week in the Name of God …

They Gunned Down Starving Civilians

Let’s talk about German audio, Russia, and a lesson for Americans….

And some more The Majority Report clips.

Flat out, I love this show.  The show runs Monday to Friday, with Emma running the show on Thursdays, which is Sam’s day off.  The show is about three hours long, divided into two parts.   The free half is mostly news and interviews, and the fun half is with calls and IMs.   Now don’t panic, if you are poor like me you can still see the entire show.  There are two ways.  First if you can not afford it they give free memberships if you need one.   Or do what I do.  The way I do it can be a pain in the butt, but it works.   Wait until the show starts on YouTube.  Open the live broadcast, then in the description box they include the link to the fun half.  Click that and it switches to the entire show.   Now as long as you don’t close the browser you have the link to the entire show for free.   You don’t have to watch it all then, like any YouTube video or live stream, you can pause it and go do things, often I will start watching it and finish in the morning, leaving the computer tab open all night.  Anyway, here are the clips.   I especially like the ones that showed how clearly Israel was lying and got caught, and how the republicans had to admit that they did not have anything on Biden.  Plus the one of right wing media correcting tRump’s claims of winning the election was fun to watch.   Hugs.   Scottie

Now we move to the horrible lies Israel has told.   Hugs.  Scottie

Empty Chairs and Empty Tables … By Randy

Empty Chairs and Empty Tables

I was flitting through the songs from Les Miserables on youtube.  Some of my favorite songs, and I’ve always been amazed at the dramatic presentations these actors could impart.  Hugh Jackman, Eddie Redmayne, Anne Hathaway have all put out such impactful songs as to bring ache to my heart, but never did I hear one that brought me tears until this one.

I remember when I was young I asked my grandmother how Hitler was allowed to do what he did.  She was so hurt by the question.  She just looked at me, ache in her eyes.  “Randy, we didn’t know.  We didn’t believe it could be real, we didn’t think someone could do that.”  To my sorrow, I will be forced to answer similarly when someone asks me about Sandy Hook, Uvalde and oh so many more.  I am going to have to look someone in the eye and tell them that somehow having the freedom to buy guns was worth more than the lives of our greatest treasures.  I’ll have to tell them that I had no idea how to stop it.

When November comes, please remember the lives lost and the politicians who put guns before kids.

Can cannabis help clean up the earth? – BBC REEL

Thank you to Ten Bears for the link to the video.  https://homelessonthehighdesert.com/2024/03/01/five-oclock-shadow-2/  Yes another great reason to support the legalization of cannabis without the crap laws republicans are trying to impose due to religion.   Hugs.   Scottie

Raichik: Reporter Who Exposed Me Is “A Lizard Person”

I recently posted about this interview.   It shows that Raichik is incredibly stupid, uninformed, and loves the attention she is getting.  She feels important right now, something it is clear she did not have before.  She is a troll, feeling good only when tearing others down, she is not interested in educating her self or becoming a better person.   She may have been a kid ignored in school or been the bully to fit in with the group of lowlifes, but she clearly is unfit to be on any library or school book banning boards.  Also clear from the interview she is a white supremacist.  Yes she thinks whites have a better culture than others do.   She doesn’t seem to value anything but her fundamentalist world view and her white privilege.  She clings to lies because she doesn’t want to believe or take the effort to learn the truth.   Hugs.  Scottie


 

Libs Of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik is livid after this weekend’s Washington Post interview revealed her to be an admitted and unrepentant liar who revels in accusations of having incited terrorism, which Raichik says makes her feel “important.”

Today she writes this about the reporter: 

Just to summarize my interview with Taylor Lorenz:

– she’s not at all concerned about our open border and millions of people invading our country
– she’s pro mutilation and castration of minors
– she wants p*rn in schools
– she wants the media to be allowed to defame me with impunity
– she wants me to be responsible for all reactions, comments, and actions that happen after I post a tiktok but doesn’t want to take responsibility for what happens after her reporting on me
– she’s a lizard person
– she’s scared of people knowing her age
– she’s still wearing a mask outdoors in 2024

Lorenz has said she is immuno-compromised. Of note, “lizard person” is a common QAnon claim about people they accuse of pedophilia. Many of them actually believe in literal so-called “reptilians.”

 

Trans activists hijacked a memorial for Nex Benedict and used it to slam @RyanWaltersSupt and myself and blame us for her de*th.

 

Attacks “Trans activists” who ORGANIZED the memorial. Then misgenders Nex. Who’s the real “lizard person” here?

 

Doesn’t like being “defamed” (for reporting on the things she says); defames reporter anyway.

Sigh.

Stop reporting what I do and say accurately. It is just not fair!

It’s long been the Right Wing mantra.

WOW! Damn, good on him for calling those dreadful fucks on the state education board.

Wow, is right. I’m so unaccustomed to seeing justified moral outrage, so clearly stated, and aimed accurately.

He is properly wound up…and 100% right. Bring those lawsuits, people — money talks.

Does Sean Cummings have any power and influence in OK?

I hope that he does.

Memo to Chaya: Fuck your feelings.

To be fair, I would wear a mask around this woman too.

I think the most charitable thing you can say about Chaya Raichik is that she’s not very bright and is just a stupid person who managed to become famous for also being a psychopath.

I ask myself who is worse, her, or her supporters. But, I think as rotten and disgusting as that piece of trash is, it’s her supporters that are worse, because they are so low they take their cues from someone like her. Without them, she’d be nothing, or in a mental-care home.

“How DARE the press accurately report the horrible things I say!”

Person who sics terrorists against LGBT and other innocent folks around the country with one post is upset that she didn’t come out looking so good in the newspaper? Oh how sad for her. She’s lucky our side doesn’t do stochastic terrorism.

MAGA Republicans actually rely upon Lies of TikTok and someone who calls himself Catturd for information.

For DISinformation!

Chaya the liar lies about Taylor Lorenz, who exposed her for being a liar.

Also, calling Taylor a “lizard person”? Your pandering to your far-right, QAnon base is beyond vapid.

Her big mouth finally caught up with her. That’s what happens when you’re in love with the sound of your own voice.

 

Freedom Caucus Chair Shrugs At Shutdown: We Won’t Work With Dems Just To Show We Can Govern [VIDEO]

The republicans admit it openly what they have been showing the public for years.  They can’t govern and do not want to.   They want fame, fortune, and power to rule over others.   They are not willing to do the hard work of keeping the country running.  That is why they would rather have an authoritarian strongman government with a dictator at the top.  They would turn the country over to businesses and simply order the masses to live according to the rules of the fundamentalist Christian church.   He is basically saying if they can’t have their own way on everything they won’t play and will keep everyone else from playing.  Bratty little kids.  Read what this asshat wrote.   Hugs.  Scottie


 

“The more this government does, the worse it is for the American people. We shouldn’t be joining hands with Democrats just to show we can govern, or we can get things done, no matter how harmful to the American people.

“While a government shutdown is not ideal, but it’s not the worst thing. It would be worse to exacerbate the problem, to further increase our debt and our spending, to make our fiscal situation, which is unprecedented as it is — as you know.

“To continue to fund a government that’s facilitating the border invasion, why would we give Biden and Mayorkas billions and billions of dollars to keep doing this to the American people?

“The only leverage we have when we have one house of one branch is to be willing to say no, to be willing to walk away.” – Freedom Caucus chair Bob Good, speaking to Fox News.

 

A well-functioning government that addresses critical needs is a Republican’s worst nightmare.

I’m sure that it’s purely coincidental that a well-functional government addressing critical needs is also the worst nightmare of organized crime.

Republicans use to pretend to govern, now they say it out loud “We don’t want to govern”

Remember “Government” is the problem.

You’ve already proven you can’t govern, Bobby-Boy. Over and over again

Now they’re proving that they won’t govern. Notice that they’re going for a shut-down rather than writing a new budget.

Even the Tea Partiers in 2014 had enough common sense not to have a shutdown crisis in an election year.

These stunads? Not so much.

Well, all the Tea Partiers except Ted Cruz.

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the GQP the party of do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The party of hate, chaos, insurrection and violence.

They’ll spin this into “Biden Has Dementia” just as they did “it was tourists”, and their base will eat the shit up and beg for seconds.

Oh, they’re doing something. They’re holding the US hostage. They’re holding Ukraine hostage. They’re holding Taiwan hostage.

Stated a million times previously:

Republicans can never make their argument without lying.

Never.

It’s uncanny.

Not to mention (somebody said somewhere! 😉)

“Republicans Harm.

Democrats Help.”

And this is exhibit 64477467 as to why Biden does not need to debate Trump

Biden discusses policy

Trump throws shit

Republicans WANT to shut down the federal government. It’s what their constituents demand.

It’s what their voters demand. Republicans can’t be bothered to balance the wants of their full constituency.

More importantly, it’s what their donors want

But when their voters do not get their Social Security checks, you know damned well they will be screeching for Biden’s head.

Sure, ask our servicemen/women, TSA agents, and Federal employee when their checks are delayed for weeks and weeks.

The House also wants to disinvite the President from presenting the SOTU. All that means is he’ll do it from the Oval Office, it will still be on every single channel in the country–and none of you will be able to heckle or howl at him during an uninterrupted presentation.

“We shouldn’t be joining hands with Democrats just to show we can govern, or we can get things done, no matter how harmful to the American people…because we think it will benefit us politically.

FIFT

MAGAts will cheer, of course. Then they’ll wonder why some of the services THEY THEMSELVES rely on are not up and running.

So… we’ll solve the border problem by de-funding the government. Brilliant!

This from the people who think the cure for a COVID pandemic is more COVID and the cure for gun violence is more guns.

The Freedumb Caucus is mostly composed of Tea Party nihilists & MAGA chuds. They didn’t run to make the government work. In fact, quite the opposite. They ran to undermine the government. “See how it doesn’t work (after I’ve sabotaged it.) Clearly, it needs to be shrunken & dismantled, except in imposing nationwide Christian sharia laws.”

Texas sues major porn distributor in bid to enforce content-warning law

The truth is the US has a big problem with the human body and seeing it.  It was not always this way.  The modesty at all costs movement is what is harmful and should have warnings.  The problem with porn is not that people see it, it is not even that minors see it.  It is the way the right and even some on the left fetishize it to be some grand high point of evil.   By doing that, going to such lengths to show kids we are hiding it from them we are making it seem so much more than it is.  It is nude people showing their bodies and doing mostly normal acts.  In most porn it is acting, and if people could see all the behind the scenes stuff it would take any joy out of it, just as watching a movie being made would ruin the fun of it.  What we need to do is be honest with minors about their bodies, the bodies of the sexes / genders, and human sexuality.  Treat it normally, don’t freak them out over seeing a booby or a butt.   Seeing a penis will not rot the mind of any kid, freaking out over them seeing it will.   Plus it helps cut down child abuse if a kid feels comfortable talking with another adult about what someone is doing to them or making them do.   So many survivors never told because they were too ashamed and felt it was taboo to talk about.  Look at a quote from the article below, do these people really believe this garbage? Harmful to brain development?  Never proven, no medical data.  I am sorry, I think they have confused fundamentalist religion with fun porn.  Besides be honest, does anyone watch the entire porn movie?  Really?   But they do sit through the entire sermon and give the preacher money.  You be the judge as to which one “is associated with low self-esteem and body image, eating disorders, impaired brain development, and other emotional and mental illnesses.”    I can not stand these constant attempts to push their extreme fundamentalist church doctrine idea of calling normal things obscene and pushing their hyper regressive ideology on every one else.   Look if they don’t want to see people nude, don’t want to see people having sex, then don’t watch it.  Just don’t go to those websites!  Why force everyone to live by your rules, to live just like you do.   People in lockstep marching together.  What a horrible place to live.   Hugs.  Scottie

It also orders such websites to post controversial health warnings that pornography “weakens brain function,” “is proven to harm human brain development” and “is associated with low self-esteem and body image, eating disorders, impaired brain development, and other emotional and mental illnesses.”


The lawsuit comes after the Fifth Circuit last year reversed a lower-court injunction blocking the law.

 

That Porn Religion Causes “Impaired Brain Development”

Fixed it for ya! You’re welcome.

Clearly the man speaks from personal experience and exhibits the signs of “impaired brain development” to this day. He doesn’t even have the brain power to keep both eyes open at the same time.

I’m willing to wager that most people that go to that site have better ethics and brain functions than Ken Paxton.

I must have started off with a 2000 IQ because I’ve watched lots of porn over the years and I’m STILL smarter than these asshats.

I’m thinking the biggest threat posed by porn is it could interfere with the ability to write dialog.

But, it improves the ability to type with one hand!

 

Thanks to porn, we have an answer to the age-old question “What is the sound of one hand clapping?”

I’d love for Pornhub to completely cut off all IP addresses in Texas.

A lot of those rubes can’t figure out a VPN.

Already happened in SIX states.

Pornhub has added North Carolina and Montana to its block list as both states implemented age-verification laws on Jan. 1. A similar ban was imposed in Arkansas in August, joining Mississippi, Virginia, and Utah.

https://www.pcmag.com/news/…

Not popular with voters, I imagine. The porn using voters might not complain in public, but they will be furious.

Now hold on there, bubba louie!
I live in texas…and how am I supposed to spend my golden years with no porn??? Paxton is just doing shit so the christians will vote for him.

Perhaps they should hire PornHub to do road maintenance.

There is a study that proved that watching porn causes impaired brain development?

Who needs a peer reviewed scientific study when the church tells you it is so?

Or the legislature simply passes a law declaring it so?

No. Ethics boards frown on experiments involving showing porn to children

Just ask Florida’s Surgeon General Ladapo, and I sure he will find a study!!! He is SUCH a “knowledgeable” Doctor!!! /s

More BS pseudoscience clap-trap from a state with no cognitive functionality. Just ban it in Texas and be done with…though I suspect a lot of those cowpokes will start livin’ up to that name if you do.

They forgot “hairy palms” and “blindness”.

Mike Johnson will have to monitor this.

“Impaired Brain Development”

More pseudoscience pushed by people who belive in Bronze Age fairy tales.
