Israeli Govt. Goes On Psychotic 24h Rampage
Sorry I am late to posting this. Also I have been up since 12:30 am and every time I lay down due to pain and being so tired I couldn’t sleep. Welcome to steroids. Ron made a grand meal and I ate more than I have in months even on steroids. He made a perfect NY strip steak, a small baked potato drenched in melted butter, and a small salad. The steak was cooked to perfection being red inside and so well seasoned I told him he should write it down. I ate every bite of everything after offering Ron some choice bits of steak. He doesn’t eat much red meat, he has Hemochromatosis and so has to watch his iron intake, where I was told by my doctors to eat as much as I could due to anemia. Enjoy the video, I am closing down and going to bed. Ron told me he will soon be down to cuddle with me. Ya, it is not even my birthday. Hugs.
The Israeli government continues to escalate, including the targeting of aid workers from the World Central Kitchen as they delivered food, the targeting of a consulate, and the banning of journalists – all within a 24 hour period.
Democracy: Putin Meddled in Our Elections
Thanks to politicians are poody heads https://poodyheads.wordpress.com/2024/04/10/democracy-putin-meddled-in-our-elections/ for the link. The right wing media has totally rewritten the Mueller Report and claim it says something it never did. Hugs. Scottie
Idaho Racists Menace Visiting NCAA Basketball Team
The fundamentalist republicans and maga people keep telling us there is no need to DEI programs because racism, especially systemic racism is gone. Racism in the US is only against white people says Stephen Miller and his ilk. But then we have this stuff. Hugs. Scottie
NPR reports:
Police in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and the FBI are investigating after a team in the NCAA Women’s basketball tournament said they were racially harassed while staying in the city.
Members of the University of Utah women’s team told police someone in a truck displaying a confederate flag yelled racial slurs and revved the engine in a menacing way as players and staff walked to dinner last Thursday. They say that same truck and a second were waiting as the team returned from dinner and followed them back to their hotel.
Utah’s team, and the women’s team from the University of California, Irvine, were staying in the north Idaho town to participate in the basketball tournament in nearby Spokane, Wash.
CNN reports:
The Utah women’s basketball team had to switch hotels after experiencing what head coach Lynne Roberts called “racial hate crimes” ahead of its first NCAA tournament game. Roberts said the Utes switched hotels after just one night before their games in Spokane.
“For our players and staff to not feel safe in an NCAA tournament environment, it’s messed up, and so we moved hotels,” she explained. “The NCAA and ([host university) Gonzaga worked to get us in a new hotel and we appreciate that. That’s what happened. It was a distraction and upsetting and unfortunate.
Axios reports:
Officials in Idaho tried to apologize Tuesday for the racism the University of Utah’s women’s basketball team faced in Coeur d’Alene before an NCAA tournament game at Gonzaga.
They abruptly shut down the news conference when a far-right operative began shouting questions at a human rights advocate. Spokesman Review reporter Alex Duggan identified the agitator as Dave Reilly, a far-right activist and consultant with the powerful Idaho Freedom Foundation.
The harassment “was a distraction and upsetting and unfortunate,” Utah head coach Lynne Roberts said Monday in a news conference following the Utes’ loss to Gonzaga.
Gender Theory: Why Now?
If you are unsure of the difference between sex and gender, or if you are question many of the hate myths about trans people, or possibly thinking trans people are new and never been accepted then please watch this video.
The host is easy to listen too, shows his sources, and uses facts, yes those pesky facts that refute all the anti-trans misinformation spread desperately through the right wing media. The video covers how anti-trans groups formed fake medical groups to claim science said that trans was a sickness or such, but the video show that real professionals in medical science disagree and show that being trans and gender nonconforming is a normal difference some people have.
Finally the hosts shows how the anti-trans movement push was started around 2008 when conservatives and fundamentalist religious groups were losing the war against gay people and gay marriage. They were seeing gay people normalized on TV and moved to prevent that from happening for trans people. Plus the video shows how this is about state control over everyone’s body. He shows how the idea of strict gender roles formed when men felt marginalized and wanted to create a society that was male oriented and was based on male superiority. For men to be superior, that meant they needed females to be inferior. So strict gender roles were created and enforced. This only has been the way for the last few centuries, not forever. Hugs.

There’s a full blown panic sweeping America, and it’s all about gender, and especially people who don’t conform to traditional categories. But what is it about people’s gender choices that makes others so worried? Was this an inevitable facet of modern life, or is something more complicated going on? Let’s find out in this Wisecrack video on Gender Theory: Why Now?

I want to give thanks to politicians are poody heads for the link to this article which is wonder. https://poodyheads.wordpress.com/2024/04/03/dana-milbank-trump-forgot-but-we-should-not/ .

It points out so many things tRump is trying to have it both ways on, and so much he lies about that will hurt poor people, harm women, and destroy the country if he gets the presidency again. Hugs.

Today I realized an Apple News link I had linked to had expired. I have to find a better way to do these news posts from my phone and pad. But using the title of the article I was quickly able to find a bunch of links to the story. I added them to the post and I am reposting it so anyone landing on it will be able to see the story.
