Over the last few days I have been busy trying to read news and set up new browsers. Here are some links to Joe My God stories that stood out for their pushing Christian hate on everyone. Plus some other hates from the tRump cult.

Anti-Drag RI Neo-Nazi Arrested On Child Porn Charges
Texas To Teach “Bible Stories” To Elementary Students
Christian Lifeguard Sues Over Pride Flags At Gay Beach
Little claims he’s been targeted for harassment and retaliation over his lawsuit. He’s being represented by the anti-LGBTQ hate group, the Thomas More Society, who claims that Little has a First Amendment right not to have the flag within his sight.

Per reports, Little’s salary is more than $200,000. In 2021, a Long Beach lifeguard tower decked out for Pride was destroyed in arson, much to the delight of commenters on the YouTube clip below.
Catholic Men’s Group To Protest Small LA Town’s First Pride Event: We Will Respond Appropriately To Threats
Last year the group’s founder claimed to The Federalist that his foie gras business was boycotted by local restaurants after he posted an anti-LGBTQ screed on Instagram, putting his family in a “dire financial situation.” In the clip below, he talks about that supposed betrayal and rants about “sexual degeneracy.”

Cultists Rage After Walmart Unveils Pride Month Merch
Cultists are also raging in the comments of Walmart’s Instagram post. Sample reply: “Walmart and Pride whatever it is, I hate all this because you glorify everything in this world except what God has created to be from the beginning, which is a family, man married to a woman and their children!! Why don’t you give a true family unit a special month??? This evil agenda to shove all that’s unnatural down our throat will be your downfall one day!! God will not be mocked!! Yes, everyone has a right to choose how you live but why does it have to be glorified for a month??? Just wrong!!!”


Hate Group: We Made Pride Month “Toxic” For Brands
If the goal was to make “Pride” toxic for brands, as conservative Matt Walsh urged, then mission accomplished. Now, thanks to Bud Light and so many other casualties of excessive Pride, Americans have started to realize how much power they have to change the corporate landscape.








And now for the tRump cult out cries about that guilty verdict. 

I love how every accusation they make about Biden and the democrats / left turns out to be a confession by the republicans.  For example they claim that Biden has weaponized the Department Of Justice and is controlling the AG Merrick Garland.  But the republicans and trump have been calling for the locking up of his pollical opponent since his first run in 2016.  He and his supporters have long called for locking up Biden.  These people don’t want to run a country, they want to rule the country and everyone in it.  They want to raid the treasury and hammer anyone who tries to stop them.  Simply put they wrongly claim no one has ever been charged with this same crime, but it has been charged over 9,000 times.  But they are now a cult and if the dear leader says it it must be so, reality be damned.   Hugs.  Scottie

Cultist Sites See Calls For Riots And Violent Revenge
Newsmax Guest Warns Trump Jurors: “Be Very Careful”
Megyn Kelly Calls For “Reviving Laws On Dead Crimes” To Prosecute Obama, Hillary Clinton, And The Bidens
JMG: Regarding Kelly’s lie about E. Jean Carroll, New York’s 2022 Adult Survivors Act was certainly not passed with her in mind and in fact resulted in lawsuits against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, and rapper Sean Combs. In total, nearly 3000 suits were filed before the law expired in 2023.

Fox Lies Spawn New Death Threats Against Judge
Bolling: Trump’s Judge “Should Be Tried For Treason”

The Washington Post has a fact check:

Trump called it ridiculous, unconstitutional and un-American “that the highly Conflicted, Radical Left Judge is not requiring a unanimous decision on the fake charges against me.” At first glance, it might appear that the former president doesn’t understand one of the basic tenets of the legal system: that guilty verdicts in criminal cases have to be unanimous.

The jury must be unanimous when it comes to determining whether Trump is guilty or not guilty of each specific falsifying business records count, and whether he did so in an effort to unlawfully impact an election, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan said.

He added, however, that the panel did not have to be unanimous about which of those three types of crimes could serve as the underlying violation that brings the state election charge into play. In Trump’s case, prosecutors have offered three types of crimes that would make the state election-meddling charge come into play: federal election law crimes, tax crimes or false business records.

 
Trump Spox Vows “Revenge” On His Critics [VIDEO]
Leavitt went on to claim that President Joe Biden has targeted “innocent” Americans such as the Jan. 6 rioters charged for their roles in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol. “They’ve thrown [them] in the gulag in Washington, D.C.,” said Leavitt, who added that Trump said he’d pardon the rioters on “day one” of a second term.

And now for a few just off the wall … weird world.  Hugs.  Scottie

Apprentice Exec: Tape Exists Of Trump Using N-Word
Rumors of Trump using the N-word during production of The Apprentice have swirled for years. Executive producer Mark Burnett has long refused to release any outtakes from the show. In 2018, Trump tweeted that the N-word “does not exist in my vocabulary and never has” and that Burnett backs him on this “fake news.”

Some Joe My God posts I wanted to share but was busy for two days changing my computer browsers.

So what started out to be a simple fix of a malware problem on the blogging computer I used to completely change all my old Chrome tabs into Firefox tabs.  I don’t like the new agreements on Chrome about information gathering no matter who you make your settings to prevent.  Basically everything you do is recorded and sent to Google.  It is frustrating.  Firefox has less work ability and on Chrome I could always recover old tabs if I did not delete them in entire windows, even on other devices.  So far Firefox doesn’t seem to have the same ability.  If I start to lose to many pages or comments, then I will have to switch back.  While privacy is important I need function much more.  I need to be able to switch open tabs from one computer to the other to clean them.   I will try this but it may not last.

Here are the open Joe  My God posts I wanted to share before this all happened.   Enjoy. 

FL Reapproves “Slaves Benefited From Slavery” Lessons
Read the full article. Earlier this week and this morning it was reported that Florida educators are receiving state training on teaching Christian nationalism and teaching that genocides such as the one committed by Joseph Stalin are examples of cancel culture.

Justice Alito Tells Democrats He Won’t Recuse Over Flag

And in bigotry thuggish maga right wing behavior wins news … But think about this.  We have normalized and now accept that people going into a store and destroying the merchandise and attacking the staff is OK as long as it fits our religious or political beliefs.  Is this what a civilized society is or has become?

Thank you personnelente for these facts and figures.  If you want to see how badly Ukraine is hurting Russia please look at the chart / image at the link above.  Can you believe this country that the maga want to give to stop funding and give to Russia actually took out a Russia submarine?  This country that most people predicted would fall in three days to three weeks, stood up and drove Russia back and if they had gotten the military aid that maga republicans held up wouldn’t have lost so much ground recently.   Hugs.  Scottie

Florida To Investigate Starbucks Over Diversity Policies

Florida To Investigate Starbucks Over Diversity Policies

More of lets keep black people out of work and out of society.  Make it so society is racist and segregated again.  These white racist think any and all white people should get all the good jobs regardless of how unqualified.  These racists claim any black person can’t be qualified for the job … because they are black.   They want Jim Crow laws back.  They somehow got into power riding the disgruntled anger white vote and now they are trying to push that racism on the rest of us.  We have to stop them.  We have to stop racism now.  Hugs.  Scottie

May 22, 2024 Politics, Republicans

 

The Florida Phoenix reports:

Florida Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody wants the state agency in charge of investigating violations of the Florida Civil Rights Act to inspect Starbucks’ diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.

Gov. Ron DeSantis and Moody announced the complaint against Starbucks on Wednesday during the governor’s guest host stint on “The Sean Hannity Show.”

“We’re going to make sure that in Florida this quota or hiring and programs that cause every employee to determine whether they are the problem based on the color of their skin, whether that violates Florida’s anti-discrimination laws, and so the matter will be investigated,” Moody said on the radio show.

Read the full article. As noted below, a federal appeals court has already said that DeSantis cannot act against private businesses over diversity practices.

In the Fascist State of Florida, if you hold a different political opinion (Disney), are gay and want to talk about your family (Don’t Say Gay), or believe that diversity is a good thing, you will be punished.

Investigating Starbucks is not the goal here. Stirring the rubes up against DEI again is. Can’t let them forget. Rinse and repeat till November.

And somehow they will forget to mention that any of these futile actions will, when successfully contested in court, cost those rubes more money in taxes to cover Starbucks’ cash compensation and attorney fees

Jeff D  BEARTRACK BRUIN10 hours ago

Apparently not enough white people are willing to work the shitty Starbucks jobs in Florida so that when Ashley Moody walks into one she’s not creeped out by all the skin tones other than white.

The Republicans will regulate companies and people’s lives to the nth degree to impose their religious-based right-wing beliefs. There is no issue too small or insignificant for them to not regulate. The religious right has been in a snit over their inability to engage in racial discrimination and segregation.
