Candace Owens falsely links Memphis killings to trans people
https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/09/candace-owens-falsely-links-memphis-killings-trans-people/
Be afraid, be very afraid of those trans people, be afraid of those gay people, be afraid of teachers, be afraid of black people, be afraid of immigrants … Did I leave any group out? Oh ya be afraid of the godless atheists. Fear is what the right wing media sells. The republicans no longer try to create or develop polices that help the people or that the people want. So they sell fear to stay in office and keep getting elected. They have amped up their attacks on gays and trans people so of course the more fringe right wing media hosts have to link the LGBTQ+ to any kind of violence or tragedy. One thing the stories have missed about Kelly. He was sentenced to three years. He served 22 months which is the normal time. The reason it seems he only served 11 months is that is how long from his court case where he was found guilt until his release. But he was in jail prior to that, so he was given credit for that time also. He was in jail for 22 months total, which again is the normal amount of time on a three year sentence. Hugs
Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens Photo: ScreenshotCandace Owens is once again attempting to falsely link a tragedy to transgender people. In her Thursday night appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight, the far-right media personality characterized acceptance of trans people as “celebrating mental illness.”
Owens joined the Fox News host ostensibly to discuss criminal justice reform in the wake of a recent deadly shooting spree in Memphis, which left four dead. Authorities arrested teenager Ezekiel Kelly early Thursday in connection with the crimes. Last year, the 19-year-old Kelly had been sentenced to three years in prison, but was released in March after serving 11 months.
“Obviously what we are seeing around us is, under the guise of compassion, we are letting violent criminals back on the streets, and people that are following the law and abiding the law— going out for a jog — are suffering because of it,” Owens said of Kelly’s release.
She also brought up the recent kidnapping and murder of Memphis kindergarten teacher Eliza Fletcher. Police have arrested 38-year-old Cleotha Henderson in connection with the crimes.
Owens blamed the crimes on “mental illness,” a now-standard right-wing talking point when discussing mass shootings and violent crimes.
“This is, by the way, the product of what we are seeing when we celebrate— in our culture — mental illness. That is what is happening. We have somehow gotten to a point in America where we are celebrating mental illness — in many different forms, by the way,” Owens said.
She then made the leap to equating transgender identity with mental illness: “It’s not just by trying to convince us that we should feel compassion towards criminals and yet feel that the real criminals are the patriots, a total inverted of reality. But it’s also the perverse element that is encouraging mental illness, like telling men they can be women, telling women they can be men if they just mutilate their bodies.”
Earlier this year, Owens was one of many far-right figures who spread the false rumor that the gunman in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, was transgender. She has also used her platform to attack Dwayne Wade’s transgender daughter.
Sponsors Ditch Boise Pride After GOP Pressure
A maga trump cult member screamed code words loud enough that it scared companies into to withdrawing their support. Child drag events are kids dressing up, it is not a sexual thing. It is not designed to be sexually exciting. It is designed to be cute, like an early Halloween. I think of Red Skelton and all the famous performers who wore womans clothing and it was not screamed they were grooming kids. People who think clothing has a gender need to get over it. It is a covering that fits over / around the human body and can be as simple as a strip of cloth to as complex as humans can design. I have always loved this response when this comedian was accused of wearing women’s clothing. Hugs
The Daily Beast reports:
At least three organizations sponsoring weekend’s Boise Pride Festival have decided to withdraw their application after politicians slammed the festival over the inclusion of a “drag kids show” that features children as young as 11.
Zions Bank, Idaho Power, and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare withdrew their applications as the sponsors of the Boise Pride Festival after Chairwoman of the Idaho Republican Party Dorothy Moon [photo] called out the Democratic Boise Mayor Lauren McLean and urged sponsors to remove their financial support.
Moon called the event an “attack on Idaho’s children.” She also criticized “out-of-state companies” for financing “the sexualization of our children and the perverse idea that children should engage in sexual performances with adult entertainers.”
The Idaho Statesman reports:
Three months after more than two dozen members of the Patriot Front — classified as a white nationalist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center — were arrested for alleged conspiracy to riot at a Coeur d’ Alene Pride celebration, Idaho’s biggest Pride event will take place in Boise. The Boise Pride Festival, first held in 1989, covers three days this weekend at Cecil D. Andrus Park and downtown, and security measures have been addressed by organizers and police.
Boise Police Department spokesperson Haley Williams said police met with event organizers after the Patriot Front arrests. “As with any special event, the Boise Police Department works with event organizers to evaluate the security needs,” Williams said in an email to the Statesman. “Based on that evaluation and other information, the department makes a plan to staff the event accordingly.”
You’ll be shocked to learn that Dorothy Moon is a far-right election-denying Trump cultist.
Moon, a literal John Bircher, recently lost the GOP primary for Idaho secretary of state.
As a state rep, she opposed all COVID mitigation attempts and is perhaps best known locally for a bill calling for killing 90% of Idaho’s grey wolves, presumably at the behest of local chicken farmers.
In 2020, she opposed the adoption of new educational standards because she felt environmental lessons were unfair to local logging and mining industries.
Last year, Moon co-hosted a face mask burning ceremony and appeared in a far-right video claiming that the COVID pandemic is fake.
And on a very related note, Moon claims that a childhood vaccine gave her son autism and says that “no Moon will ever take another vaccine.”

Girls and women can wear pants and no one blinks. A boy or man in a dress prompts outrage. Why? Because our society thinks being a woman is less than and a male disgraces himself wanting to dress like a woman.
Why would any woman support this drag hysteria? It’s blatant misogyny.

The far-right fascists are learning ways to cancel the lgbt community. We see it all over the country with books, history, drag shows and even saying the word, “gay.” We better come up with a way to fight back or all our rights will be rolled back.

They are creating a problem only they can fix. I’m not going backwards
I like that the Idaho Democratic Party is calling her out directly for her record of opposition to policies that protect child welfare.
Hey, Dorothy Moon grrrl! I closed my accounts at Wells Fargo, too, about 5 years ago after a well-researched article showed me that they were the financers and #1 beneficiaries of all the companies supporting Trump’s nightmarish white supremacist detention centers that were jailing immigrant children and separating them from their parents.
Glad you agree with me on this one, you ugly treasonous seditionist hag!
This is why I don’t celebrate when corporations do Pride month stuff.
Because when push comes to shove, they will show more often then not they’re cowards.
Zions Bank, Idaho Power, and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
The surprise isn’t that they pulled out, the surprise is that they were ever in. Two Idaho state agencies, and a bank that’s majority owned by Mormons?
Skeptical One Ščŏŧŧ Ċ – 🇺🇦 🕊 • 12 hours ago
FYI, Idaho Power is a publicly owned/traded corporation.
The threats are working…. pride being canceled in multiple placea….. fear of violence….
Well I remember the 70s and early 80s when the threat of violence was a daily occurance for walking the street.
Canceling is letting them win.
Sponsors that fold bees to be called out.

Kenneth Copeland: Put Bibles Back In Schools To Stop School Shootings

“Very stable genius Kenneth Copeland, who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, appeared on a television special last night to educate the world on why there are so many school shootings. It’s not because of easy access to deadly assault weapons; it’s because the naughty Devil used a woman to make the Supreme Court remove Bibles from schools.”
Trump Threatened To Sue Fox News Over This Lincoln Project Ad

“Former President Donald Trump threatened to file a lawsuit against Fox News on Thursday morning. The ex-president was fuming over the anti-Trump organization, The Lincoln Project, running their ads—which ripped into him and his MAGA supporters—in Bedminster, New Jersey (where Trump lives) on the conservative cable network. “The Perverts and Lowlifes of the Lincoln Project are back on, where else, Fox News,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.”
Joe Manchin on Student Debt Relief: “It’s Excessive”
Read more HERE: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-ma…
“Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Tuesday criticized President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, arguing there are other ways to support student borrowers.
‘I just thought that it was excessive,’ Manchin said, adding that he disagrees with the announcement proposing to forgive $10,000 per student borrower for those making up to $125,000 annually. Pell Grant recipients will be eligible for up to $20,000 in debt cancellation.
But Manchin said he would have taken a different course of action. ‘When people were calling me from back in West Virginia, I would give them all the options they had that would reduce their loan by going to work in the federal government,’ Manchin said.
He continued: ‘You have to earn it.'”

Carlson: Africa Should Be Grateful For Colonialism – JMG
Some points about this. It clearly shows that Carlson is a white supremacist racist. He is saying that white people improved the black peoples lives by ruling them. By taking over the black peoples countries. Some how he sees subjugating, conquering, and forcing other people to behave and live by the religous dictates of the invaders. Hugs
Media Matters reports:
The British Empire spread Protestant Christianity to the entire world. A country in the North Atlantic the size of Alabama that somehow took over the world and ruled it with decency unmatched by any empire in human history.
The British Empire was not perfect, but it was far more humane than any other, ever. It’s gone now, barely even remembered. Queen Elizabeth II was the last living link to a truly great Britain.
The British Empire was evil, they wrote, apparently totally unaware of what came after it. And speaking of, what did come after the British Empire?
How, for example, did Africa fare after the British left? Let’s see, Uganda got Idi Amin, who was a cannibal. Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and then became the poorest country on the planet under the racist lunatic Robert Mugabe. As of tonight, South Africa is still being run into the ground by an incompetent kleptocrat called Cyril Ramaphosa.
So it’s hard to see any of that as an improvement, because it’s not an improvement. Sorry, Atlantic magazine. And now, of course, the entire continent of Africa has a new master, the Chinese government. China is the latest colonial power to dominate Africa. Its subjects will be pining for the British soon, assuming they are not already.
Tucker Carlson Charlatanism: Diversity Hiring Edition
“While Tucker Carlson attacks diversity at every opportunity, a job listing for his own show says, “We are deeply committed to diversity.”
“Tucker Carlson doesn’t just oppose diversity, he demonizes it with inflammatory rhetoric. For example:
“On the Tucker Carlson Tonight show, frequent guest Heather Mac Donald complained about the “scourge of diversity” to the approving host.
“In his own commentary, Carlson played the victim of diversity by arguing that diversity weakens the U.S. and whining, “why does anyone who questions [diversity supporters] need to be shamed, silenced and fired?” He also held himself up as a voice of courage for speaking out against this supposed oppression, saying, “We won’t stop talking.”
https://www.newshounds.us/t…
It’s the “low IQ” dogwhistle.
And according to history books made in Texas, Africa is quite grateful for Europeans to enslave them
ruled it with decency?
I’m sure a few of those colonies would beg to differ.

Gab Issues “Christian Nationalism: A Biblical Guide”
We need to take these people seriously and what they are trying to do must be fought with everything we can bring to the fight. They don’t want a democracy and they have increased their reach, their actual authority in our country by a large amount. If they take over, if they install the Christian Taliban we won’t get it back. Remember Iran was a secular country before the over throw of the Shaw, and then the religious minority took over. That was back in 1978 and that religious minority has increased their hold over the population / country. They took over the schools, they took over the news systems, they restricted all aspects of the people’s lives to try to protest or even understand what was reality. Religion and the religious leaders took over the entire society and made the reality of the people what the religion’s leaders desired. This is what these people want for the US. This is what they are working hard as they can make happen in the US. Hugs
