Armed Cultists Continue To Menace Arizona Voters
Phoenix’s CBS affiliate reports:
Multiple incidents of possible voter intimidation have been reported this week, and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors released a statement saying they will do anything to ensure a fair election.
Sheriff’s deputies were called to an incident Friday night at a ballot box in Mesa and said two individuals wearing tactical gear were armed. On Saturday night, there was a group of four people watching the ballot box in Mesa, and two were armed with concealed handguns.
There was a confrontation that resulted from the group being there. An activist watching the watchers said they were covering their license plates with pieces of cloth, and when she tried to take a picture of the license plates, she was grabbed and chased by one of the group members.
Read the full article.
These are terrorists, it’s a simple as that.
Nothing screams “election integrity” like armed vigilantes with concealed license plates taking it on themselves to patrol drop boxes and polling places.
Biden won Arizona.
The GOP in Arizona is going to go all out to stop Ds from winning again.
Deranged Parents FREAK OUT Over Mural During School Board Meeting
A much better visual report than the first written one I posted. This shows just how really bonkers this whole thing is. Hugs
Michigan high school student defends her mural which parents called satanic and anti-Christian because it contained a Genshin Impact character and a person wearing a transgender flag t-shirt. The Majority Report crew discusses outraged comments made by parents, like “fix their brains” and how such attitudes by the Right were once parodied years ago.
Pelosi: “I Don’t Think Trump Is Man Enough” To Testify
Trump is going to freak totally out. He has shown that any debasing of his “manliness” or the size of his genitalia is a red line he attacks back against hard. Look how he reacted when Rubio said his hands were small meaning something else was.
Underage people or people unable to deal with human biology / sexuality should skip right on down to the story below. But if you are a young person like me who was already highly sexualized keep reading, but you will be disappointed. I don’t get graphic but say enought to give some people the vapors. Loves to all. I feel body parts and sexuality are normal and shouldn’t be hidden or feared. Hugs
Look facts are facts, and not all penises are the same length or thickness, and honestly I have had sex with men with very short penises that made me feel better than the men with very large ones did. Okay I am adult enough to talk about this subject but if you are like a 12 year old boy who is embarrassed and giggly at the talk of dicks / cocks you may want to skip my thoughts and go straight the story.
My sergeant in the military that took me as his boy toy had the biggest longest thickest penis I have ever had in me. He was a great man I will always have wonderful memories of, but he was not that great a lover. He did not bring me the joy that guys with much smaller penises did. His interest seemed more in his own pleasure, and it took a lot of time to get there for him than with other lovers I have had. Now on the other side of that my boyfriend at the time really liked him and loved to have his penis inside of him, but my boyfriend had a thing for older men and he himself had a rather smaller penis. I was not into older men which is why I had a cute boyfriend my own age. But we made an interesting triangle, the first sergeant I had in the army took a real want for me a slim cute twink and followed me around the globe to have me, and then I fell in love with a fellow soldier who was my age who I felt had a cute face and was bigger and far more buff than I was, but then who once he met my first sergeant was really turned on by him. So each of us was happy in a way having our ideal man in the other one’s sexual interest but not with the one we were with. Sort of like a polyamorous relationship. I am not saying we did not all love each other but what we all loved most was not what the person we loved the most but the one the other person was most turned on or loved. Had we not all been in the military at a time of don’t tell we might all still be together today.
Back to the subject of penises, remember we were talking about the small penis my boyfriend had. I enjoyed it and felt he did a great job with it, made me happy. But he put the effort into making me happy also. The saying that it is not the size of the boat but the motion of the motion of the ocean I find to be true. Guys that know how to read the responses of their partners and please them are the best lovers. Now I am a sample size of one on this study and other may have different results. If so please share your thoughts. Again we are adults.
And on to the story!!!!
Pelosi: “I Don’t Think Trump Is Man Enough” To Testify
“I don’t think his lawyers will want him to show up. Because he has to testify under oath. But I don’t think he’ll show up. I don’t think he is man enough.
“We’ll see if he is man enough to show up. And the public should make their judgment. No one is above the law. If we believe that, then they should make a judgment about how he responds to that request.
“He isn’t honoring the oath we take to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That is a serious oath that we all take, and clearly, the rest of us had more respect for the office he held than he had.” – Nancy Pelosi, today on MSNBC.

What a savvy lady, Nancy Pelosi is. That was the perfect thing to say regarding the mobster who suffers from Narcissistic personality disorder. Attack his “manhood.”
Lol. I love it!
As I suggested in a previous thread today, the fun, now, will be the rapist’s reaction to Pelosi’s remarks. Can you imagine the sexist language he’s achin’ to use on her?
Go for it, big boy! Show the country your stuff!
A smack to the balls

Stormy Daniels advised us that his nuts are a lot smaller than that.
More like a pistachio nut.
Nancy really knows how to play the cons at their own game to troll and own them. Eric Swalwell and Pete Buttigieg are adept at this, as well.
“[Pelosi] knows that his manhood being called into question has been something that is an Achilles heel for Donald Trump…And it bothers him”
LOL, and Cheetos head is exploding as I type this.
Good one, Nancy! Hit him where it hurts – in his miniscule “manhood.”

Abortion Bans Are Creating Free Speech Battles in Schools
Many thanks to Ali for dropping a note about this and the link in a comment. I find many of the people who read the blog have great suggestions of news they found that I missed. This article on silencing the teaching of abortion is similar to the don’t say gay laws in republican controlled states, it is about making something / people disappear from society and keeping it / them hidden with no information about them available to the people effected by / needing the information. Think of it, if you can control the information students at all levels get you can direct the culture in any way you wish. No freedom of expression creates what is happening in China and other authoritarian places where the people have only lock step ideas because it is all propaganda driven by the political class / government. It is a scary time where the republican party / right wing wants to deny advances in society in all categories such as medical, biological, knowledge of the planet, basically the right / republicans want to drive the country back to what they feel was a simpler time when they were in charge and people were not bothered by things different from them. Got news for them, they will have to go back much farther than the 1950s to find that, the idea that the 1950s were the great social golden age where the stereotypes they love were true … is completely wrong. That time was horrible for any minority or those who were not white cis men. Women had little or no rights, blacks / non-whites were without rights and being killed or harmed with impunity, kids were mistreated with no way to complain or stop it, people were dying of health issues we have solved now, and lastly the fact that forced patriotism of kids being made to recite the pledge and forced Christian prayer in schools / public events did not make things better all it did was make clones who felt obligated to go to church and give money while hating it at the same time. I did not live then, but I thank the Dogs That Love Gravy I did not.
Now one last thing, lets talk about what is meant by “woke”. The right is trying to demonize the word. I keep hearing interviewed right wingers saying they have to stop the left pushing woke in schools. While I don’t really know of anyone on the left that uses the term I can tell you what it means. Ready for this. That scary word is another way of saying “to be nice”. Yup that is all it is about or means. It means not using slurs, not trying to hurt other people’s feelings, it is not being deliberately cruel or mean. So when people claim I am being woke, I think them. I want everyone to understand the goal of the right, which is to make the cruelty of the regressive times they claim were better a reality again. I am woke as much as I can be, where ever I can be, when and to as much as I can be … because I love being nice to others. Hugs
Seeking to control what can be taught at public universities—including abortion—is dystopian and grim. It’s what conservatives have always wanted.
As we’ve seen in Idaho and Florida, expect more public university systems in red states to start being tentative, worried, and self-censored when talking about reproductive rights. Cage Rivera/Rewire News Group illustration
With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, conservatives scored a victory decades in the making: controlling pregnant people’s bodies. They’re not satisfied with just that, though. The next step is to control any speech they don’t like.
Just as ever-shifting abortion bans leave people unsure as to the laws that govern them, there’s now a distinct lack of clarity as to what can and can’t be said—and what can and can’t be taught—in schools.
Witness the dual speech and behavior controversy that has roiled the University of Idaho. In 2021, the state passed the “No Public Funds for Abortion” law, prohibiting public university employees from “counseling in favor of abortion.” That’s painfully vague, but definitely inhibits speech. For instance, can you talk about ectopic pregnancies in a biology class without implying abortion? Things got even more opaque following the reversal of Roe in June, when Idaho’s near-total abortion ban kicked in. The university provided guidance to employees that they could now face felony charges if they provided birth control to students.
Two weeks later, everything got reversed. Sort of. University President Scott Green complained that the memo issued to employees “quickly took on a life of its own with misinformation.” He then proceeded to, ostensibly, reassure employees, but those reassurances were vague. To his credit, Green made clear that the university can continue to offer birth control, but he didn’t directly address whether people could or could not “counsel in favor” of abortion. All he really said was that current academic freedom policies had not been changed and that the university cannot and does not prosecute people.
Neither of those reassurances gets at the heart of the issue: Can employees talk about abortion without running afoul of state law?
A similar story is unfolding at the state university system in Florida. The University of Florida may be hiring Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) to be its president. Sasse is a big fan of “religious liberty” when it comes to dismantling the line between church and state, so his hiring likely doesn’t bode well for a university already under siege by conservative elected officials. The state recently asserted in a court document that curriculum and in-class instruction are government speech—not individual speech—and therefore it can regulate what public university teachers say.
The document was filed in a lawsuit regarding the constitutionality of the state’s “Stop WOKE Act,” which at root prohibits professors from teaching about the country’s pernicious history of racism. The state even tried to extend these speech restrictions to private companies, but that got tossed out by a federal court.
Seeking to control what people teach at public universities is impossibly dystopian and grim. It’s also the logical endpoint of what conservatives have wanted forever: public money free from the conditions that used to go along with taking public money—that religious institutions shouldn’t be funded with taxpayer dollars and groups that receive public money shouldn’t be able to discriminate.
Dismantling that line between church and state and enshrining bigotry into law has been quite a successful project of religious conservatives. They prevailed in an Iowa case where a student group at a public university, taking public dollars, excluded a gay student from leadership and won in court. They scored their biggest victory this past Supreme Court term in Carson v. Makin: The justices ruled that K-12 private religious schools can get public tuition money. And it’s just this sort of thing that allows a Christian K-12 school in Florida to take $1.6 million in public money while having a policy that they will expel LGBTQ students.
Conservatives have always embraced schools like Bob Jones University and Liberty University that completely control their students’ behavior and speech. The former went up to the Supreme Court in 1983 to fight for the right to receive IRS tax-exempt status while maintaining a policy of only admitting white students. The university lost. Bob Jones University also banned interracial dating until 2000.
Rolling back abortion rights is just the latest weapon in the religious right’s ever-growing arsenal. When you control what people can do, it’s just a short hop to controlling what they can say. When bans prohibit “aiding or abetting” an abortion, such as that in Texas SB 8, it directly leads to controlling speech. For example, can you donate to an abortion fund if you live in Texas? In theory, that should never be restricted. Donating money is free speech and is therefore protected under Citizens United v. FEC and is one of the sacred tenets of modern conservatism.
But modern conservatism has become very comfortable with “free speech for me, but not for thee,” and they’ve captured enough of the federal courts that they’ll continue to get their way. Meanwhile, expect more public university systems in red states to start being tentative, worried, and self-censored when talking about reproductive rights or racial justice. Idaho and Florida may have started this trend, but it certainly won’t end there.
GLOVES OFF: Joe Biden HUMILIATES Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ted Cruz ON STAGE
In their world, white men must control all, without any criticism, without any compromise, all while claiming to being a victim.
Republicans will do absolutely nothing to go after rapists, nor traffickers, nor abusers, nor predators, nor guns, nor violence towards women, nor violence towards children/students because they support white patriarchal controls.

Authoritarian Period Tracking with Viced Rhino!
In this state they are demanding the female athletes tell them all about their menstruation schedule. Yes they want the girls in school at all ages to tell them when they have their periods, how long it lasts, any issues they have during it, and especially they are required to report any delays in their schedule and when it goes back to normal. I wonder why?
Idaho Bill Would Ban Drag Shows In All Public Venues – JMG
I don’t normally feel the need to add my thoughts to Joe.My.God posts, he does a great job and covers it all. In this case I want to point out several things. Reading each section, you see that the republicans / right wing is clearly equating drag, which is simply dressing up in a costume, with sex. More important they are trying to equate it with active sex with kids. Please tell me how reading to kids in a costume is sexual? What if I dressed up as a Klingon and read to kids, would that be sexual? Because what the right / republicans are trying to do is also equate drag with transexuals. Yes they want you to think trans person when you read drag. That is what they did with CRT, change what people think when they hear it. What they want is when you find out there is a drag queen story hour you think trans women reading to kids, which again is not sexual or wrong but it is the rights way of making it seem dirty and sexual. Think of it reading stories to kids in public with their parents and other adults present is being made to see like a sexual orgy by the right. Why? Because it is a political wedge issue and being used by the republicans to drive their base and the religious right to the poles. It stirs up anti-trans hate, makes people angry at the LGBTQ+ because it creates an image in their minds that again kids are being sexual used. It also validates the religious people who think that all the non-1950 traditions are sinful. Again in a room in public with other adults present including the child’s parents / guardians is a sexual performance involving the kids. To these people simply the idea of a guy dressed in “woman’s” clothing is sexual and a sin that makes their god cry!
Clothing has no damn gender people. Men wore dresses for a long time, men in some cultures wear skirts, and in some native cultures people go nude, and who doesn’t like a damn toga party. This is not about the clothing or the cloth. It is about gender roles and privileges of each gender. Men must have all the rights and be in charge while women must be submissive and give men their bodies and serve them. Men rule and women obey. That is what this is really about. Think of it why is it always trans women that the right gets so upset about? They never mention trans men. Because in their minds any male that would give up their god given right to rule over and take what they want from the other gender is crazy and ill. Plus by a man with all his rights becoming a woman with no rights screws up their idea of what the world must be. Trans men don’t bother then because women don’t matter to them and they figure they will put them in their place soon enough.
The second thing I want you to notice is that in order to vilify drag queens a “Christian” is repeatedly lying about seeing a drag performer showing their genitals. That never happened. The “Christian” altered the video they showed and reported to police to try to frame the drag performer. The police said they viewed other footage and had the altered video checked. The performer did not do what the “Christian” claimed. However after being called out on it, the “Christian” still keeps making the claim everywhere anyone will listen to them. They are going on right wing media claiming the performer did it even though it is proven wrong because the right knows their people won’t check the facts and most simply don’t care. The right prefers their feelings to facts.
This is about being moral police, let’s be honest. This has nothing to do with kids. This is entirely about the idea that some people hate the idea of men dressing like women. Yet as I keep saying that has been something done throughout history especially from the start of the TV era to today where one of the most popular shows is RuPaul’s Drag Race, which I believe is in its fourteenth season. So why is this so important now? Religion, has anyone noticed a surge in the right trying to regain traditional gender roles while forcing more religion down everyone’s throat? This is part of the Christian nationalist push. This is what the right wants, to push their view of right and wrong based on the religious morality of 2,500 years ago that promoted slavery. The right wing in the US is fast becoming the US Christian version of the Taliban. Stop them now before they come for everything else that they object to in our society! Hugs
The Idaho Capital Sun reports:
A bill that would ban drag performances in all public venues will be introduced in the first days of the next session of the Idaho Legislature in January, Idaho Family Policy Center President Blaine Conzatti told the Idaho Capital Sun.
Conzatti and other conservative activists around Idaho and across the country have protested against events in public spaces that feature drag queens, including drag queen story hour events at public libraries.
“No child should ever be exposed to sexual exhibitions like drag shows in public places,” he said. Conzatti also cites a drag performance in Coeur d’Alene in June as another example of public indecency, when a performer was accused of exposing himself during a Pride in the Park event.
The Coeur d’Alene Press reports:
A drag performer has sued a blogger who falsely accused him of indecent exposure and posted doctored footage of him online. Eric Posey, a Kootenai County resident whose stage name is Mona Liza Million, performed June 11 at the Pride in the Park celebration in Coeur d’Alene. The next day, blogger Summer Bushnell published an edited video of Posey’s performance on her Facebook page. Posey’s pelvic area is blurred out in the edited video, implying nudity.
Bushnell claimed that Posey exposed himself to the crowd. She called for Posey’s arrest in her Facebook post, urging the public to contact police and the Idaho Attorney General’s Office. The Coeur d’Alene City Prosecutor’s Office reviewed the edited video, as well as other unedited videos and photos. Prosecutors announced in July that the evidence shows Posey did not violate any state or local law.
Vice News reports:
Idaho GOP chair and state Rep. Dorothy Moon did not address questions about whether the state party supported the proposal, but she told VICE News in an email that the Idaho GOP is “opposed to the sexualization of children, including ‘family-friendly’ or ‘all-ages’ drag shows.”
The events she is referring to include drag queens reading children’s books to kids at public libraries; Conzatti’s comments, moreover, indicated the proposal would apply to drag shows in public spaces even for adults.
Idaho, like much of the country, has also seen an uptick of violence towards LGBTQ+ people in general. In June, Coeur d’Alene police arrested dozens of white supremacists who allegedly planned to disrupt the city’s Pride festival,.
The Idaho Family Policy Center, an affiliate of the hate group Focus On The Family, is also the main driver of an abortion ban in Idaho. Conzetti knows his claim about that drag performer is a lie, but happily parrots the lie to local media in the name of Jesus.
That has First Amendment Violation written all over it.

Oh, wait.
I’d like to say this violates the First Amendment, and it does, but I don’t trust it in the hands of the courts today. This is clearly eliminationist and will lead to far more horrifying efforts to erase LGBT people from society.

I’ve been saying for years that the only difference between these people and the Westboro Baptists is that Westboro at least has the balls to come out and say they want us dead. These people want the same, but they know they have to be diplomatic if they want to get on TV and have the public accept them as expressing just another point of view that one might happen to disagree with – as opposed to being the genocidal fascists they are.
When I was in college, I got funny looks for saying we should be more afraid of people like Tony Perkins than Fred Phelps. But I was right.
