And now to more recent news. Yes! I finally caught up. Oh wow

This is incredible and the best I have felt in 5 months.  I have had so much old news, many hundreds of back logged news I wanted to share.  I recently found out that the mail stuff I would share was stuck on my phone so did not post.  I cleared that.  Today right now all old news mail articles are posted, the stuff I want to share is posted.   I still have to do the video on what happened because I got long term Covid.  Sadly I was able to do this because Ron was gone to Texas to help his sister and now they are on their way home.  More pressure to do as much as I can with my pain and disability.  So I have two more rooms to work on before they get here later this week.  I want to do a video on the entire thing but may not.   My goal was to clear all these tabs and then do videos …. but we will see, Hugs

Border Chief: Everyone Must Carry Citizenship Proof

Federal law enforcement agencies are detaining US citizens who do not carry proof of their citizenship in what civil rights advocates describe as a flagrant violation of constitutional rights—and a top Trump administration official is claiming the government has the authority to do so.   Bovino recently lied in court about being hit with a rock by anti-ICE protesters, despite video showing that never happened. According to reports, some Border officials privately refer to Bovino a “Little Napoleon” due to his height and volatile temper.

Pentagon To Downgrade Military Command Groups

It would reduce in prominence the headquarters of U.S. Central Command, U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command by placing them under the control of a new organization known as U.S. International Command. Those familiar with the plan said it aligns with the Trump administration’s national security strategy, released this month, that declares that the “days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over.”

Their way to rid themselves of officers who will refuse to follow an illegal order and put command in the hands of those who will.  All of this is to reduce the number of Admirals and Generals who could credibly disobey the illegal orders that will be coming soon.

 

 

The Atlantic: New Pentagon Policy Is A “Suicide Note”

This past September, the Trump administration terminated these agreements. The center’s former head, James Rubin, called this decision “a unilateral act of disarmament,” and no wonder: In effect, the United States was declaring that it would no longer oppose Russian influence campaigns, Chinese manipulation of local politics, or Iranian extremist recruitment drives. Nor would the American government use any resources to help anyone else do so either.

Music For Change

View image in fullscreen

Sounds like activism: musicians who fight for change – in pictures

Photographer Janette Beckman and curator Julie Grahame have organized a one-time fundraiser for the ACLU that showcases images of musicians who have recorded protest songs or are known for their activism. Forty-three photographers have donated images of 50 artists, from John Lennon to Nina Simone to Bad Bunny, and 100% of the profits will go towards the ACLU and their efforts to protect equality, freedom and rights. In addition to the images there is a playlist of songs for the fundraiser.Bob Marley, who performed at Crystal Palace Bowl in 1980, is known for songs such as Get Up, Stand Up, War, Redemption Song and Concrete Jungle that advocate for social issues, human rights and resistance.

Jasmine For U.S.

Texas, let’s win this thing. #JasmineForUS #TexasTough

[image or embed]— Jasmine Crockett (@jasmineforus.bsky.social) December 8, 2025 at 5:03 PM

https://www.jasmineforus.com/

There are two links here; one to the opening ad on Bluesky, then the link for her campaign website. It is my custom, when we have great candidates, to post about their campaigns here, so we can help get them elected and have people in our legislature who will do our work the way we direct them. So this time, it’s Rep. Jasmine Crockett.

She speaks truth when she speaks; in the Guardian published yesterday, she stated that while she will run in and continue to serve TX, her running is bigger than TX because the Senate makes many decisions for the entire country, and she will keep her vision broad. She said more, as well, all good. Maybe I should look it up; it was in yesterday’s Guardian newsletter so probably we’ve all already read it. Meanwhile, lets get some good people elected! It only costs some time; money is only involved if we are able and choose to contribute. But they really need our time and our thoughtful conversation with people we know, in order to get out the vote. We can have a good legislature, if we want it. What we do shows what we care about.

She appeared here in February 2024 for her bill to ban the composting of human remains because people might dig up the bodies and eat them. (Yes, really.)

Scott first appeared here in 2020 when she called Idaho’s Republican governor “Little Hitler” over COVID lockdowns, which she compared to concentration camps.

She appeared here in 2022 when she held a talk on “the war of perversion against our children” by the LGBTQ community and invited a militia group to the stage.

Scott first made national news in 2017 when she defended white nationalism in a Facebook post.

Later that year she was stripped of her committee posts when she said that women only get Idaho leadership posts if they “spread their legs.”  

Photos show Scott, an Oath Keepers supporter, brandishing the Confederate battle flag at her campaign events.

ICE Violence Is OUT OF CONTROL

As the guest host says, running into an ICE group is terrifying.  They are untrained and are extremely abusive to people.  The video show how the ICE guy drew his gun while laying on top of the person then put it into his belt.  Later he lost both his gun and his ammo clip.  Yet there are no controls on these masked people.  So many kidnappings are going to happen by every group of sexual traffickers, and how is the public to know who is real official or not.  This is pure Stephen Miller.  I was a trained auxiliary deputy sheriff.  Had I done anything like this I would have been in court and regardless I would have been fired.   Hugs

BREAKING: Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter in custody.

Things I don’t tell Mom

There was a time, long ago before my eyes starting going bad and when foolishness was that bit of mischief all of us get into whether someone is there to see it or not, and that our parents secretly laugh about because it was the same stuff they did.

I was Bat Masterson, Billy the Kid or Wyatt Earp with my bb-gun. No, I didn’t have a Red Rider, I had a Crossman! And, I was a wiz, the terror of chipmunks everywhere. And, of course, me and my friend Benny had bb-gun fights, but we had a rule: no shooting in the face.

Some of you who have read my past writings are not surprised by this, but some of you may for the first time realize that yes, the boy is that dumb. And you have also recognized that this is, yes, another post on the demise of Charlie Kirk by someone who mistakenly believed a gun would solve his problems.

As I grew older I advanced my gun ownership advanced to a Marlin 22, then later to an older 30-06. I liked guns – until one day I realized that gun could solve all my problems, all my days of hatred, loneliness, my want to be different than what I was. One simple pull of one simple finger…

Dad talks of a time when he was in school and was part of an after-school gun club. He would get on the school bus with his gun and take it to school for his after hours activities. I remember when I took my hunter safety courses as a kid. Guns then were a tool; it was how we went hunting, sport targets, and in extreme moments perhaps, personal safety. Somehow they have gone beyond this. Now there are magazines by the truck-load telling us how we need a personal protection weapon as they peddle fear. Our politicians aren’t talking about how we need to deal with the issues that people think they need a gun to help them, but how they have the right to guns and how great and cool guns are.

I guess I’m a horrible person, because I just couldn’t really care less that Kirk is gone. He wasn’t an innocent by any stretch of the word. He advocated hate, he advocated second-class citizenry for those he didn’t like, he advocated for the right of the government to limit the rights of others that he didn’t like, and he even advocated for the loss of life so the importance of keeping his gun rights could be underscored. He advocated for the very scenerio that took his life, in a crushing bit of sad irony.

Who I do care about are those small children in that Catholic School who were shot while praying. No one flew them home on Air Force 2. I didn’t see Cenk Uygur crying for them! I didn’t the sitting republican party politicians calling out in outrage. I didn’t see fucking drumpf demanding retribution for the victims of the Colorado High School that happened that very same day! Somehow seeing one of their own shot was a bridge too far and little innocent children was not. And now, seeing that the shooter was a cis white male maga son of a cop, there went their favorite scape-goat that he was a plant of the Democrats.

But, evidently the nra checks cleared because I’m not seeing any hopeful measures to limit guns to ANYONE! Oh, let me take that back – drumpf wants to limit guns to the Trans community. Haven’t heard from the nra about the atrocity of such a statement yet…?

I once asked myself just what it would take before our children and young people became more important than our guns. I wondered what would it finally be to get people to demand that there be no more. Then I realized that the fear, the anger, the hatred that has been generated has just made us all tense and numb to it all; we are forlorn to the realization that it will never change because those in power are all too willing to sacrifice everything we care deeply about and even one of their corrupt mouthpieces to the money and power that death brings them.

“There is not peace in many of our cities because there is not freedom.” – Pres. John F. Kennedy

September 10, 1897
Nineteen unarmed striking coal miners were killed and 36 more wounded in Lattimer (near Hazleton), Pennsylvania, for refusing to disperse, by a posse organized by the Luzerne County sheriff. The strikers, most of whom were shot in the back, were originally brought in as strike-breakers, but later created their own union. 
The background and details 
September 10, 1963
Twenty black students entered public schools in Birmingham, Tuskegee and Mobile, Alabama. The Governor George C. Wallace had ordered Alabama state troopers to stop the federal court-ordered integration of Alabama’s elementary and high schools. President John Kennedy responded by calling out the Alabama National Guard to protect the students and to see the order enforced.
President Kennedy spoke that day at American University’s commencement, saying, 
“Peace need not be impractical, war not inevitable . . . There is not peace in many of our cities because there is not freedom.”
September 10, 1996
 
Sheryl Crow’s second album was banned from Wal-Mart stores because the song she co-wrote with Tad Wadhams, “Love Is A Good Thing” opens with
“Watch out sister, watch out brother,
Watch our children while they kill each other
With a gun they bought at Wal-Mart discount stores….”
