Let’s talk about Trump, tripwire troops, talks about Ukraine, and air power….

Sorry for the lack of posting and no cartoon meme post tomorrow morning.  I have been very sick all day with vomiting and diarrhea.  From the morphines and muscle relaxers I was impacted, which was a harder constipation.  I had taken fiber and it did not help, so I took 2 laxatives.  They did not work so the next day I took 2 more.  I have been diagnosed with a sensitive stomach meaning it can’t take pressure so it was refusing to let me eat / swallow anything and the bile and acids needed to be vomited up.  By noon the dam broke and I have spent most of the day near or on the toilet or in bed.  At 1 pm Ron made me some chicken noodle soup.  It helped calm my stomach but did not help the other end.   I am trying to eat something now due to my blood sugar but I can only do a chicken strip and a few french fries.   Tomorrow we go out for our big shopping day, glad it was not today which we had planned.  By the way I was stationed in West Berlin in the 1980s.  Hugs.

Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 8-21-2025

 

Ok I have to admit these cartoon posts are becoming like the old cartoon posts I made on Scottiestoybox.  What stared out as 50 cartoon sites became over 150 before I had to end doing it.  It would take 8 to 10 hours to post and people need to understand I only get about 12 hours awake and now less time to be online.  So again what started as a small post taking 2 hours has now become a 6 hour project.  I got up at 7 after a wonderful … with my husband.  Took care of our remaining cat and made myself coffee.   About an hour later when my husband got up I made him coffee.  

I then spent a bit of time watching videos, listening to my husband and having a second cup of coffee.  The entire time I was adding to this post.  Then I went to take my shower which due to the skin condition I have I must shower every day even though I rarely get dirty / sweaty enough to need it.  

The point I am making is there is no shortage of memes / cartoons to post on all the evils of what is happening is endless.  Every website I have saved in this group for opening, which is now up to 70 pages plus every cartoon takes me to ten more.  So if people want these I will keep doing them, but I think I need to shorten how long these get.   

The truth is I went back to cartoons and memes because my eyesight is so bad that it is hard for me to read an article and post it.  It is far easier to click copy and then post for a cartoon or meme.   But unless people want this feed I don’t want to keep doing it.  I will soon go back to doing videos again which I like a lot more.  But again it is what people who come here want to see.  Please let me know.  The truth is I have an issue with being on the computer right now which I will share in a different post.  Hugs

I made another goulash with a different recipe. Here is the video

Ok yesterday afternoon I was so tired but after washing dishes Ron asked me to make supper.  He had taken a pound of hamburger out and asked me to make a beef goulash.  I said OK but realized I was going to have to wing it.  I did misspeak a few times and I need to remember when doing a video with a TV or other sound on to stop them or turn them down.  But it does show how bad my intrusive thought problem is that I need constant input from something to keep my mind occupied to keep the thoughts at bay.   I hope you enjoy the video and my recipe as such as it is.  Hugs

I have been waiting for the show to clip this interview.   I watched it live when he was interviewed.  I was blown away by Frost.  He is the kind of Democratic elected members we need and the kind of candidates we should vote for.  Please give the interview a watch.  Hugs

Hegseth’s Pastor: “Gay Marriage Doesn’t Exist” [VIDEO]

100% Christian hate.  No one loves more than bigot Christians can hate.  This would be a non-story except Kegseth is the head of the military with the authority to remove any group from the military he doesn’t like.   Think about the idea that woman shouldn’t vote according to his preacher yet females in the military at every level have authority over men … so if they can’t be trusted to vote …?  But Kegseth thinks the US military needs to be an all white male thuggish killing machines like the Russian military who are getting their asses kicked by the inclusive Ukrainian military.  The Christian bigotry prevents people like him from seeing the truth.  The idea of heavily muscled men facing each other on a field of battle is far in the past.  Military tech is way more far advanced.  It needs twink kids in the basement playing on gaming machines, it needs females who can out think every man around. Kegseth’s idea of manliness and the military makes me suspect him of having a man fetish, an Arnold Schwarzenegger fetish.  It idealizes something that is not true and doesn’t exist.   This man grew up on far too many he man cartoons and movies.   Hugs.

“We have to overturn Obergefell. Many people will say, ‘That ship’s sailed, man. Gay people are married. We can’t go back.’ Gay marriage does not exist in the world. It can’t, any more than a square triangle can exist. God created marriage. I had premarital counseling today, I opened up the bible to Genesis I and showed them where God created marriage. He made them male and female. He set it.

“You want us to persist in having lies at the fundamental level of our nation? What’s that going to do to our country, other than have it crumble and have judgment be upon it? You have to remember that there’s a God in heaven who has thoughts on these matters.

“Of course, it has to go because it’s non-reality. We have to become sane again as a nation. And because we’ve gotten ourself so deep into this sin, there’s no clean way to do it.” – Pete Hegseth’s pastor Brooks Potteiger, who last appeared here when he called for God to burn down a “demonic” network’s headquarters for featuring a gay couple on a reality show.

Pottigier’s church is part of Pastor Doug Wilson’s Christian nationalist network, which advocates for a full-Gilead theocracy in which women cannot vote and homosexuality is criminalized. Last week Hegseth retweeted a video in which Wilson called for all of those things.

What gets me is the arrogance they show saying shit like this. “Everybody must live according to MY beliefs! “

That is pretty much religion all over the world. And they mostly all believe they are the only true religion. Buddhism seems the most benign of all of them.

Gay marriage doesn’t exist?

I can produce a married gay couple faster than he can produce his god.

No one needs any religion’s approval of a…

CIVIL MARRIAGE!

Got it?

 

If Obergefell is overturned, same sex marriage will not go away but we will go back to the bad old days where there will be a patchwork of states where SSM will be valid.

I do wonder for example if someone was married in Oklahoma will their marriage be voided and would need to remarry in SSM state or will they be grandfathered in.

Getting real sick of being ruled by people who believe in the myths of 2,000 year old clan of goat herders.
