So today I was feeling stronger than yesterday. I am reading news, watching news, posting, and replying to comments. Ron made a grand burritos in a red sauce that is grand. Everything going good. Then on Joe My God comes the story below. Normally I would have read it, but even the title was enough to shake the ground under my mind. I started to read the blurb before I even processed the content. I couldn’t continue, I started to get upset, I quickly closed the tab. I had to read the title a few more times when I tried to get to the stories on the rest of the site. But I tired not to even let it enter my mind. It took me back a day or two in my emotional recovery. I did not read the story, I am posting the link so you understand what I am talking about. This is the world we live in, it is in all the news. Today first thing on TYT the first story was about a 2 year old sheltered by his dying dad’s body in the 4th of July mass shooting attack. All of these stories of kids hurt and harmed are what is happening in our country and each one of them is important but right now very dangerous personally to me emotionally. So I am going to go look for Texas Paul videos to distract my mind again. Hugs

A Russian missile strike hit this Ukrainian university. See what’s left of it
As always I hate using CNN to show everyone the news I want to share, but again they are the onlyones sharing these stories. We have to remember what Russia is doing to Ukraine and its people. Yes we have horrible problems at home but the Russians are targetting civilians and terrorizing the people just as the mass shooters are in the US but to a larger degree. This is a school, a college and not a military target. We must stop this and we could. Hugs
A pedagogical university in Kharkiv, Ukraine, was hit by a Russian missile strike. CNN’s Alex Marquardt walks through what remains at the scene of destruction.
The Police Response to a Black Man vs. a White Mass Shooter
13-year-old wearing bisexual Pride flag arrested at Florida pro-choice protest
The new Florida and soon the whole country if the Republicans get their way. Hugs
Photo: ScreenshotVideo of a 13-year-old being arrested at a July 4 pro-choice rally in Lakeland, Florida went viral earlier this week.
The video, filmed and shared on social media by Rain Johnson’s mother Lauren Johnson, shows the teen draped in a bisexual Pride flag and holding a megaphone being led away by two uniformed police officers and loaded into a police vehicle. Lauren can be heard telling her child not to resist and assuring her that “mom’s right behind you.”
In the video, Lauren can also be heard demanding to know why the officers are arresting her child. According to NBC 6 South Florida, Rain was charged with a second-degree misdemeanor for a noise ordinance violation related to a new law that went into effect on July 1.
“She had a bullhorn, and she was screaming ‘my body my choice,’” Johnson explained in a TikTok video posted after Rain’s release. “When [the officers] came around the corner, they decided that they were going to, I guess, make her their target and arrest her.”
“It was very evident that I was her parent,” Johnson says in the video. “They could have easily handed me the [megaphone]. Instead, they chose to terrorize a 13-year-old.”
Attorney David Haas, who is representing the Johnsons, said that Rain was held for over an hour and was not allowed to see her mother. Johnson claims her daughter was questioned without a parent present.
“We don’t think that the megaphone is applicable to the ordinance and so we’ll be looking into that, about whether or not it was even appropriate for the arrest,” said Haas.
In a Monday Twitter post, Florida gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried posted video of the arrest. “I need everyone to see what Ron DeSantis’ Florida really looks like,” Fried wrote. “13 year olds being arrested for protesting for their own freedom.”
According to The Ledger, Rain rejoined the protest in Lakeland’s Munn Park soon after her release. In her TikTok video, Johnson says she and her child will plan to attend another demonstration today. “We will be at the protest Thursday with a new bullhorn.”
Trump Appointee Judge Lets Florida Man Walk After He Threatened To Murder Four Female House Democrats
Trump Appointee Judge Lets Florida Man Walk After He Threatened To Murder Four Female House Democrats
The Associated Press reports:
A federal judge sentenced a former Trump supporter to three years of probation and a $7,000 fine for sending an email threatening to kill Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and three other congresswomen.
David George Hannon, 67, also must undergo mental and substance abuse treatment and have no contact with Omar or Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
“He was doing that because Trump told him to,” his daughter, Elizabeth Hannon Dillon, told the judge during the hearing on Wednesday. “He was a Trump supporter and now he regrets it.”

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Mizelle, a graduate of Covenant College, was appointed by Trump in August 2020.
The American Bar Association rated her “not qualified” ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing, noting, “Since her admission to the bar Ms. Mizelle has not tried a case, civil or criminal, as lead or co-counsel.”
The Senate confirmed her in a 49-41 vote.
A member of the Federalist Society, Mizelle clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas.
“At age 33, she was the youngest person chosen by President Donald Trump for a lifetime judicial appointment.” A lifetime to inflict a whole lotta damage.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Next week there will likely be a hearing for Bradler Garcia to the D.C Circuit.
Want to bet Republicans will complain about him being 35 even though he has far more experience then this hack does?

Due to a recent comment I realized that some people missed a case where a policeman is being held to account for excuting a black man. There are two videos here. Hugs
VIRAL VIDEO: Cultist House Rep Declares She Would “Shoot” Her Five Grandchildren To Stop Red Flag Laws
Mediaite reports:
An indignant Rep. Debbie Lesko said she’d do anything to protect her grandchildren, including shooting all five of them. That June floor speech during debate over landmark gun reform has gone viral.
In early June, as the House debated measures that would become the most significant gun legislation in decades, the Arizona Republican strode to the microphone to deliver her impassioned argument against red flag laws — by raising the reddest flag in congressional history.
“I have five grandchildren. I would do anything—anything—to protect my five grandchildren. Including, as a last resort, shooting them, if I had to, to protect the lives of my grandchildren,” Lesko said.
Read the full article. It’s not clear why Lesko’s June speech suddenly went viral yesterday or how even how it passed relatively unnoticed at the time.
That she said it is bad enough
That she won’t be called out on it is worse
That she will still remain a lawmaker after that is why I see democracy ending in 3 years

She’s running unopposed, not that it would matter since this district is solid red.
WaveMotionGum Todd20036 • 26 minutes ago
What she likely meant was that she would shoot the political opposition….not exactly better is it?

Yikes!! Time to revoke granny’s right to visit the little darlings!
What a hideous monster!
Well I suppose it would cut down on school shootings if everyone would just murder their children themselves.
Hello, Police Department? I have a red flag that I would like to report.

If she shot her five grandchildren, wouldn’t that make her the violent criminal?
Oh, I get it, she thinks “criminal” is some kind of essential spiritual state like “demonic”. Wouldn’t be surprised if she thought the same about “Jewish” or “Black”. “But I’m a good Christian; this is not who I am.”
Now I feel like a monster, I am about to welcome my 1st granddaughter any day now and am thinking of what education fund to setup and she is talking about killing her grandchildren. I need to work on my priorities.
Kids, I wouldn’t eat those cookies grandma just baked. I wouldn’t take any apples from the old witch, either.
OMG! She’s as nutso as Gosar and Biggs! And here I used to think that Lesko was the most reasonable RepubliQan in Arizona.
She also said that guns shouldn’t be taken away from violent mentally ill people. Then she said Republicans passed, and signed, into law, something that prevents mass shootings. I wonder what that was. It ain’t a-workin’.
I guess the only thing that can stop a bad granny with a gun is good grandkids with guns. Isn’t that the reasoning?

She’s so “pro-life” she’ll kill her grandchildren to protect her guns fetish and idolatry. I hope the grandchildren and their parents understand grandma wants to kill them.

She said she would shoot her grandchildren if “necessary” to save them.
I want to know what she believes is a necessary situation that she would need to kill.
A stranger knocking at the door?
Walmart was out of her favorite hot pocket?
Trump is indicted?
She would shoot them so that they would not have to undergo the horror of living in a country where there is health care for all and equal rights for people of color and gays.
Fox Guest Floats Exorcisms To Stop Mass Shootings
Media Matters has the transcript:
BILL BENNETT (CONTRIBUTOR): You need police. You need parents for sure. You need schools. You need to clean up social media. You need all that.
But you know, you may need an exorcist, too. Before your audience shakes its head on that, if you look at these boys, these men, these young men, they have deeply spiritual problems. Deeply.
If you go into the labyrinthine caves of the internet way down and I don’t recommend it, it’s ugly stuff and these guys dwell there. They live there. They drench themselves in it and it’s as ugly and evil as it gets.
Where are the ministers? Where are the rabbis? The priests? Look, I don’t want to suggest something that would seem farcical to a lot of your audience, but I think that the domain of religion ought to be involved here.
It’s a deeply spiritual void, I think, that these young men have in their hearts and their souls, and I think it needs to be addressed.
Bennett, who was Ronald Reagan’s secretary of education, last appeared on JMG in April 2020 when he declared coronavirus to be a mere “flu” and definitely not a pandemic. In 2019 we heard from Bennett when he said that Trump’s extortion of Ukraine was a “good thing.”

wow they really push to try ANYthing besides gun control
Anything but the common denominator…
Protip. If the guns are the common denominator, then it just *might* be the guns.
DevilDog • an hour ago • edited
I’ll tell you what, Mr. Bennett. We can try both exorcisms and strict gun legislation, simultaneously. Let’s see if that will curb these mass murders.
No? You say exorcisms only? Then please go fuck yourself.
Liberal Redneck – How the Right Handles the Shootings
Eric Greitens: My “Army Of Patriots” Is Coming For You
AltetNet reports:
GOP Senate candidate Eric Greitens, the disgraced ex-governor of Missouri, has released a second campaign ad promoting violence against his political opposition.
Greitens, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, was widely condemned after the release of a spot last month in which he encouraged his supporters to “hunt” Republicans who have broken away from Trump.
“Because I fought for you, they came after me. But we’re back, wiser, stronger, and still fighting. And this time, with an army of patriots,” Greitens says. Three camouflaged individuals emerge from a field behind Greitens, who then destroys a secondary target.
Read the full article. Greitens claims that he previous ad was meant to be humorous.
What could be more “humorous” than a campaign ad that glorifies gun violence against your political opposition? I’m sure the survivors of all the US mass shootings will agree.
