Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

Growing up in the 1970s, we had sex education in the 6th, 8th, and 10th grades. We talked about sex, reproduction, contraception, drugs and alcohol, and many other “adult” topics. I don’t recall anyone ever feeling uncomfortable. Republicans are soooo repressed.

The truth is these laws will try to erase LGBTQ+ people from classrooms, school, the public, and the media. I posted today how in the intent section of the bill it stresses it is to prevent discussion of anything dealing with these subjects in schools, most definitely in the younger grades. To the point that a teacher in a same sex marriage can not display their family as straight people can, can not talk about their spouse. Kids with two dads or two moms can not talk about their families. It creates a second class not as good as the straight families situation.

I’d have some understanding of this cartoon if it weren’t for the fact that 1) Biden has approved more permits to drill on federal land since becoming president than the orange one, and, 2) the gas companies are sitting on 9,000 previously approved permits to drill on government owned land that they have not so much as parked a drilling rig on to date, and, 3) the oil companies just launched the largest drilling rig in the Gulf to date. Let’s cut through the mid-term bull$hit and focus on actual data and not the rhetoric of the right or left. Thank you.

/s The best thing we Americans can possibly do, is to pump all the oil available within our borders out of the ground as fast as humanly possible (and get it into the air as quick as we can) because that way we will never be dependent on foreign oil. Because we have unlimited oil within the United States and it will not only never run out, it will never even become more scarce. /s

Fox Host: Zelensky Is Controlled By “Occult” Nazis

Fox Host: Zelensky Is Controlled By “Occult” Nazis

Media Matters has the transcript:

What Russia has done from the very beginning has been very strategic. They didn’t go straight to Kyiv. They went to all those bioweapons laboratories that are scattered all over the country. Some of them they built. So they know where they are.

They’ve known where they are since the Soviet Union, because under the defense threat reduction program, we went in after the fall of the Soviet Union, and supposedly they turned those facilities from bioweapons labs into public health labs.

Although, you know, these days, it’s hard to believe anything that our leaders tell us because they’ve lied about COVID. They lied about Russia collusion. They lied about the Ukraine impeachment trial. And there’s so much more going on in Ukraine that nobody is talking about.

You see such dishonesty when it comes to the history of Ukraine. You see dishonesty when it comes to the Azov Battalion, which is funded by the U.S. and NATO. I mean, you can find pictures of them online holding up the NATO flag and the swastika.

And at the same time, their own emblem contains the black sun of the occult, which was a Nazi SS emblem. And it also contains the sideways, you know, lightning insignia of the SS.

I mean, this is on throughout the Ukrainian military you can see that black sun of the occult on their body armor, even on the female soldiers who are paraded in front of the world as being, you know, such an example of Ukraine’s independence and spirit and nobility. Even they are wearing the black sun of the occult.

As you’ll see in the clip, there’s much more. Logan even brings up a decade-old comedy bit by Zelensky, claiming that his parody of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” video is a “satanic, occult type of music video.”

Fox is desperate to find something that will stick against Ukraine and Zelensky. Why the Fox network and its hosts are promoting the deception of a world pariah who is attacking a sovereign nation and helping Putin destroy the lives of women / children / men who were not combatants but people going about their lives. Why does Fox give comfort and aid to the enemy? This is an enemy of the US nation, the US people. Is the desire to get a political point or two over the other party worth the supporting of child killers? Are they really pro-life? They disgust me today more than ever.

President Zelensky to Canadian parliament: You all need to do more

If you watch or read nothing else I post, watch this. I have been watching it with the CC on and it is very good. After watching it ask yourself, if this was your country and your prime minister or president begging for help, how much good would the moral high ground do you? How much is it worth the deliberate targeting of civilians, the pregnant women and the scared children for you to say you are saving the possible deaths of others as these people die in front of us. If you are pro-life, a birthing hospital was deliberately targeted. Is that not the definition of your most evil acts? We play with money, while these people are paying with their lives. It sickens me as a former US military person, as a proud US citizen, that with all the money we spend to profit the industrial military complex denying our people the benefits of government that other countries have to support a bloated military, we are letting this happen. Either use the might we have to save lives, or cut the damn military budget in half, because it appears they are useless.
