One of those videos is the currently ongoing The Majority Report. But I find I can’t deal with it all right now. I am melting down. My endoscopy, the upper GI came back with very bad news after the procedure, and they sent out three biopsies. I am struggling with bad news on my cateract surgery as the closest place I want to have it done after they couldnt do it locally was to do it in Naples as I live in North Fort Myers but they contacted me and they are debating forcing me to go to Miami at a much higher cost both finiancailly and time wise. I am just worn out. I am looking at every comment and saving it to reply to. I am trying to get enough posts ahead so that if I go down for a few days the posts won’t stop. This afternoon I have been in a lot more pain than normal in my back so I have had to take more medication which is also something that is causing my gastroparisis to be worse. I have the results of the endoscopy exam to share including the bad spots they found and a lot more but I have been too tired to scan the report and save it, then post it. I have struggled to get my eating issues under control and will soon do the posting on the exam and the findings. At the same time this is going on Ron can’t devote as much time as he wants to me as his sister is here and wants him to get both her homes here ready including for sale of the small one while accompanying her to her appointments while I need him to accompany me to some of mine as I have gotten that “bad”. I am sure everything will work out but I have days when I am so tired I struggle to function and like today I was doing ok until I simply became over whelmed due to pain and couldn’t stand the news I was listening to which made me feel outraged and also helpless. I have so much more I want to post but I just can’t. So I hope everyone is well. I am simply shutting down and listening to music until I soon go to bed. Loves and hugs. Scottie

Hate group sues school district for not notifying Christian dad about lessons on anti-bullying
These religious people feel that stopping them or their kids from bullying and harassing including hurting LGBTQIA+ kids is denying them their Christian rights. How very Christian of them. Not really what Jesus taught is it? What is with the right demanding to be able to attack even violently kids and adults that don’t agree with them, that don’t live as they do? What happened to live and let live? What drives these people to demand everyone live by their views of what should be, to live by their church doctrines, to live a straight cis life no matter how the person effective feels or is not a member of their church? Why is hate and forcing people to live according to the religious persons rules their go to moves instead of compasion and trying to be understanding? Remember how Jesus dealt with the woman accused of being a prostitute who did not live according to the sexual demands of the doctrines of those in charge? He did not shame or condemn her and stopped those accusing her from harassing or hurting her. A Christian in my opinion should live by the ideals of Jesus the Christ rather than the bigotry of the rest of the bible. Hugs
Daniel Villarreal (he/him)September 21, 2026, 4:00 pm EDTAn anti-LGBTQ+ Christian Nationalist hate group representing a Christian father filed a lawsuit on September 8 against a Washington state school district for allegedly denying the father’s request to opt his elementary school-aged son out of lessons on LGBTQ+ issues. The school said the lesson the father’s upset about was actually a lesson against bullying.
Konstantin Averkiev, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), alleges that the Lake Washington School District didn’t notify him when his son was taught lessons on sexuality and gender in his fourth- and fifth-grade classes, even though Averkiev reportedly asked his son’s teacher to notify him about any such lessons. The father said that the lessons go against his sincerely held religious beliefs.
“The year went on and dad got no notice of anything until his son came home in June and was talking about a lesson on gender change surgeries,” ADF attorney Kate Anderson said, according to Nisqually Valley News.
Anderson said that Averkiev spoke with his son’s teacher, who said that the father should’ve been notified about the classes. However, school officials allegedly told Averkiev that he couldn’t opt his son out of any LGBTQ+-related lessons, except for state-mandated sex education classes.
The ADF’s lawsuit alleges that the district violated Averkiev’s First Amendment rights to freedom of religion and his Fourteenth Amendment right to due process.
In a statement, Shannon Parthemer, executive director of communications for the school district, said that the lessons the father objected to “focused on empathy, inclusion, bullying prevention, and school belonging.”
“Students examined school-climate data, considered the effects of biased remarks and bullying, and reflected on actions that can help all students, including LGBTQ+ students, feel safer and more connected at school,” Parthemer’s statement said.
“Lake Washington School District affirms the rights of parents and students. We support parents’ authority under Washington state law to opt their children out of sexual health curriculum and surveys, and we remain committed to ensuring that every student can learn in a safe and welcoming environment,” her statement concluded.
The statement didn’t mention the lawsuit’s details or its connection to the Supreme Court’s 2025 ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor, which said schools must allow religious parents to opt their students out of classes containing LGBTQ+ content.
ADF, which has been certified as an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, has successfully represented numerous anti-LGBTQ+ cases at the Supreme Court, with the court’s conservative majority consistently voting in its favor.
ADF’s recent religious rights victories at the Court include the following:
- Mahmoud v. Taylor, a 2025 decision that ruled that schools must allow religious parents to opt their students out of classes containing LGBTQ+ content.
- 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, a 2023 decision that ruled that Colorado can’t enforce its anti-discrimination law against a Christian web designer.
- Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, a 2022 decision that ruled that the school district violated a football coach’s First Amendment rights by preventing him from praying on the field after games.
- Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, a 2022 decision that ruled that pregnant individuals have no constitutional right to receive an abortion. The ruling has endangered the lives of pregnant people seeking reproductive healthcare.
- Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, a 2018 decision that Colorado’s commission didn’t act with the required religious neutrality when evaluating a baker who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding.
- Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., a 2014 decision that religious corporations don’t have to follow a federal law requiring them to provide contraception coverage to employees.

Kidnapped And Mislabeled (feat. Samantha Michaels, Isabela Dias)
I love the Daily Beans news podcast with Alison Gill. I listen to the show on my phone while doing my morning shower routine. The show is full of news and some times really interesting interviews. Like the one I will cue up. ICE has been taking kids from their parents and then calling them “unacompanied minors” so that they are easier to deport. Remember these kids are not given lawyers or assistance during their hearings and I posted how a 2 year old baby had to go through her deportation hearing with no one to assist her. It has become a farce and as Alison says a genocide to wipe out all brown and black people possible, including the kids before they can become citizens with more rights or have children who are citizens. Horrific what the country has become under white supremacist Stephen Miller and clue less bigoted racist tRump. Hugs

A small update on Ron’s and my health
I have not given a large update on Ron’s health after his eye surgery nor on my own health. Good news is Ron had his cataract surgeries and his eyes are wonderfully improved. Ron wore glasses since he was in the second grade and now no longer needs to do so daily. His eye sight is now 20 / 25. In fact he now only needs 1.5 readers for fine print.
My health how ever has been deterrating steadly. I wont go into the speculations on it as I am going through the tests. I will say my blood work is very unnormal. The blood cells are wrong, the white and red blood cells are too low or deformed. My PSA has jumped to 7 in only 3 months.
I won’t go into the speculations as we only have fear causing “it could be this and we need to test for that”. I will tell you what is going on with me and how I feel. I have no energy. I used to wake up between 3 and 5 am and be full of energy to the point that when Ron got up he hated it. Now I can’t get up. I go to bed between 3 or 4 pm and stay there until 5 or 6 am and then go back to bed by 9 or 9:30. My pain levels have soared at a time I have been told that both my pain pills and treatments are being restricted. Not due to my situation but because RFK Jr., a former adict is trying to deny pain relief to everyone who needs it in the US. The clinic I see recently had a provider abusing trigger point steriod injections which I desperately need desperately due to back spasms, so the doctor in charge lowered the procedure to 3 times a year that a person can get steriods. The provider in question only did the steeriod injections without doing any other treatments, I get all the other treatments. But I need steriod injections into my destroyed shoulders, spine vertabrea, and also the muscles. So I have to talk to the in charge pain doctor about his ruling.
So along with my pain levels soaring and my blood labs being far outside the normal range I am suffering from extreme fatigue, weakness, and the inability to eat. I use yogurt and supplement drinks. I normally have a small yogurt and drink for breakfast if I am not vomiting or nauseated. Later that day Ron will try hard to get me to eat some soild food but mostly I can only get some soup down and have it stay down. If I have solids it has to be a small amount.
So that explains why I miss getting to the comments. I do read them and then save them in open tabs. I will reply to them soon. But right now I am on full liquids and tomorrow only clear liquids until 6 pm. Then Tuesday at 8:50 I check in for my upper GI. Then later in the month I will repeat the prep for a lower GI.
I can’t do both because I have gastroparisis and that means my stomach is slow to empty due to neurological damage. So they are afraid to do both until they can examine my stomach and make sure I won’t asperate during the procedure. I have been seeing doctors 2 or 3 times a week now and it just leaves me in a lot of pain and exhausted. I am trying to get the cartoons / memes / and news posts ahead so on days I can’t sit at the computer the post will get out. I do try to post news stuff but I simply put the articles in a tab to post when I can. So this is what is going on. The posts of memes and cartoons are the easiest for me to see.
Oh I forgot I started with the University of Miami in Naples to have my cataracts removed. They called me last monday but I have not felt well enough or had the energy to call them back. I will try to do it this week. Ron worries I am not strong enough right now for the hour long trips both ways and the procedures.
OK this got longer than I planned. If you reply I will save it in an open tab to respond to after I feel stronger or I have more news to share. I was working on the cartoons / memes / news post for 14th because it maybe that I may not be able to be at my computers for a few days, so I am trying hard to get posts ahead. Sadly with everything going on with me and Ron’s sister being here he totally stopped work on my new office with lots more light and windows. I understand why. Thank you to everyone who still comes here and reads what I post. Some times the videos are the only thing I can post or see for a while until I lay down and recharge. I find I am so tired I just watch the videos and lose track of time. I fall asleep at my desk a lot now. I value everyone of you and when I get better I will be much quicker to respond to you. Hugs
Christian Republican Senator doctor has people arrested for their debt…
At first it seems Rev. Trevors is going to support the Senator. But then he turns it all around and brings it back to being a Christian first and what that means. Hugs
