A 16-year-old non-binary student in Oklahoma named Nex Benedict died following a physical altercation they had in a school bathroom with three students that bullied them since 2023. Libs of TikTok’s Chaya Raichik is now being accused of sharing indirect responsibility for the hate crime for the fact that she helped cultivate a toxic climate of anti-LGBTQ+ hate at the school by targeting one of the school’s pro-LGBTQ+ teachers that lead to a “scandal” that rocked the small town. We’ll break down the details in this video.
Again Ten Grain at Mock Paper Scissors has written an important post every one should see and understand. This is what these cult maga want, they are complete racist bigots. Notice that they never talk about stopping immigration from Europe or Canada. tRump once whined that we needed more people from Norway to move here, but I ask why the hell would they? They openly praise the idea of concentration camps for the undesirables, which means anyone who is not white straight cis and Christian. Hugs. Scottie
Since the 1980s religious leaders in the Christian faith have tried hard to take over state governments, force their church dogma into public schools, and now enshrine religious doctrines in federal laws. The religious right wants the words Christian to be a legal way to disregard any law or rule they don’t like, giving Christians special privileges they deny any other religion. I don’t understand their absolute delusion that the US was to be a Christian theocracy? I don’t understand how they think forcing their religion on everyone is better than democracy? Hugs. Scottie
Bipartisan legislation that could put religious figures in your child’s classroom passed the House by an 89-25 margin, after a spirited debate in which one of the sponsors called herself a “Holy Roller” and said she “casts out devils.”
HB 931, sponsored by Republican Rep. Stan McClain and Democratic Rep. Kim Daniels [photo], would “authorize volunteer school chaplains to provide support, services, and programs to students. Daniels also said the separation of church and state was “intended to keep the state out of the church.”
“I am the opponents of this bill’s worst nightmare,” Daniels continued. “I cast out devils, I pray in tongues, I’m a Holy Roller. But nobody on this floor can ever say I tried to convert you. Jesus is too good to push down anybody’s throats.”
Rep. Kim Daniels, who claims to be an exorcist by trade, first appeared on JMG when she declared that children’s dolls are sometimes possessed by demons.
Prior to her election as a state rep, Daniels led the campaign to defeat Jacksonville’s LGBTQ rights ordinance.
Her bill to place “In God We Trust” signs in all Florida classrooms was approved in 2018.
In 2019, she authored an ultimately failed bill to force Florida schools to offer separate elective courses on the Old and New Testaments.
Daniels, who claims the title of “apostle,” earned national attention last year when an old video was surfaced in which she declared, “I thank God for slavery.”
In the Christian network video below, she explains that her primary role in life is as a “demon buster.”
I am so very grateful that I received my education before the absolute crazies took over. I can only weep for those attempting to get an education in this day and time.
I grew up in the South Florida of the 80’s and early 90’s. I went to a very progressive elementary school that had open classrooms and self-directed learning and a media center that showed immersive media from all around the world to make kids worldly, kids from many nations and every race, teachers that were openly homosexual and it was known they had a same sex spouse and that was fine. We were taught about the Rosewood Massacre and the truth of the Seminole Wars, the latter even under the locally built chickee hut on the playground.
It is now a completely unrecognizable place to me, and I never want to return even for a visit.
Overthrow democracy completely and install a complete theocracy. Need I say anymore? The Republican Party of tRump, a Taliban level religious thuggery. The only one with rights will be the men at the top. Hugs. Scottie
“All right, welcome, welcome, I just wanted to say welcome to the end of democracy. We’re here to overthrow it completely, we didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here [waves cross]. We’ll replace it with this right here. That’s right, because all glory, all glory is not to government, all glory to God.” – Far-right extremist Jack Posobiec, brandishing a necklace with a cross pendant.
Posobiec, widely considered to be the primary promoter of QAnon Pizzagate batshittery, appeared here last week when a Michigan state rep was stripped of his committees for sharing a racist meme posted by Posobiec.
Also last week, Posobiec appeared on Charlie Kirk’s podcast where the pair agreed that children should watch televised executions.
In 2023, Posobiec led prayers in Latin as a Catholic mob protested the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at Dodger Stadium. He also posted a fake photo claiming that God had punished the Dodgers by flooding the stadium.
In 2020, Posobiec appeared on JMG when he claimed that Black Lives Matter activists had placed pipe bombs on the National Mall, a claim DC police said was false.
The following month the SPLC published a lengthy report linking Posobiec to white supremacist groups and neo-Nazis. Posobiec occasionally works a host for OAN.
He first gained national headlines when he and Laura Loomer disrupted a Shakespeare play in Central Park and is perhaps most infamous for infiltrating an anti-Trump rally and holding up a “RAPE MELANIA” sign.
Jack Posobiec at CPAC: “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.”
Use it as one element of a campaign, yes. Use it on a loop, by which I assume you mean build the entire campaign around it (and my apologies if I misread your meaning), no — the Ds have a lot of arguments that they can use.
I agree. It’s nonsensical, but the media just looooooves banging that drum. It may have worked against McCain to have Palin as a running mate, but that was because she was a blithering idiot. VP Harris gets largely ignored in the MSM, which I think sucks because she’s awesomely qualified.
The republicans are the party of racists. Not all republicans are racists but all racists are republicans. And the racist authoritarians have become the majority of the elected party members are flat out open white supremacists. They why is hard to understand why? It can not be where they are from because they are all over the country, so it must be from constantly being told brown people from other countries are somehow less than US white people. Or they are paid to be that way by the donations they get from hate groups and people like Putin / Russia. Either way, they are not pro-US, they are not patriots, they are bigot racists who deny that this country has always been multicultural and multiethnic. Hugs. Scottie
U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs over the weekend appeared at a rally that was co-sponsored by several extremist organizations, including the state’s chapter of the Proud Boys, and a student group that has promoted anti-Jewish materials.
Held in front of Arizona’s state Capitol, the 11th annual Second Amendment Rally featured not only a roster of gun rights advocates, but also several players from the state’s right-wing fringe.
One of the event’s “foundational sponsors” was the College Republicans United, a student group with chapters in Arizona that embraces white supremacy. CRU’s website promotes texts that helped fuel the rise of anti-Jewish sentiment in the early 20th century, including Henry Ford’s “The International Jew” and “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,” a fabricated text that claims to document a Jewish plan to dominate the world.
CRU also has ties to white supremacist Nick Fuentes. On Saturday, the group’s table displayed a flag emblazoned with Fuentes’ logo.
One of its members created the event’s pamphlets, according to a copy obtained by The Arizona Republic.
Arizona’s chapter of the Proud Boys, the right-wing group known for promoting political violence, also was a sponsor of Saturday’s rally.
The event appearance was not out of character for Biggs, R-Ariz., one of the furthest right members of Congress who has long been associated with right-wing extremism, including the push to undermine the 2020 presidential election. Biggs, along with Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., were among 26 Republicans who refused to sign a pledge disavowing “white nationalism and white supremacy.” He previously spoke at the Second Amendment rally last year.
“Let me tell you what the hard left — the Marxist Democrats in Congress — want to do. They want to take away your gun rights,” Biggs said at the event.
“Anti-gun zealots are unleashing a full-frontal assault on our God-given, constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights,” he wrote on social media afterwards. “I don’t accept these attacks and neither should you.”
Biggs represents much of Phoenix’s Southeast Valley in Congress. His office did not respond to a request for comment.
Among more mainstream conservative organizations, the far-right groups’ brands are political kryptonite. Earlier this year saw a firestorm when several county Republican committees said they were duped into planning a CRU event that involved Fuentes. The county GOP groups walked back their participation, or denied they were involved, once the connection became known.
State Reps. Quang Nguyen, R-Prescott Valley, and Leo Biasiucci, R-Lake Havasu City, and Turning Point USA contributor Paige Roux also were on the program for Saturday’s event.
Conservative state Rep. Austin Smith, R-Wittmann, was listed as a speaker in event promotional materials, but his name was taken off the event website in the weeks leading up to the rally. Smith, who has previously called CRU a “cancer,” confirmed he was not in attendance, but said he “had no clue” the student group was involved and could not attend the event because of other obligations.

Hate has no place in Arizona. Rather than working to move Arizona forward, @RepAndyBiggs continues to sow hate and division by attending a Proud Boys rally.
This is why we need to win with dems up + down the ballot in November.https://t.co/M0k2pYU0FC
Congress and AZ state reps, it isn't hard: don't hang with neo-Nazis and white supremacists. You are judged by the company you keep.https://t.co/TDaQgDDGVs
Joe Biden arrived in Los Angeles to raise money for his campaign, Trump confirmed a list of names on his running mate short list and is busy zeroing in on issues that don’t exist, New York Attorney General Letitia James said that she might seize Trump Tower if he can’t come up with the money to pay his $355 million fine, Hunter Biden’s attorneys say that federal prosecutors mistakenly believed that they found a picture of cocaine that was actually just sawdust, and in celebration of all the POTUS talk this week – we play our very popular game “On The Money!”
One thing that Jon did not point out. While Tucker was going on how low the prices are in Russia, the price for the small amount of groceries he got which he claimed was a weeks worth … really small eaters there, was over half the monthly income of the average Russian. So Tucker blew half the money the average Russian earns on one week’s food alone. I think as hard as things are in the US, we still have it better. By the way, Stewart’s comedic timing and ability is still spot on, I think. Hugs. Scottie
In response to online backlash over his criticism of Joe Biden last week, Jon studies Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin in Russia for a lesson in speaking “of course” to power. Plus, Michael Kosta reports from North Korea to demonstrate how nice life under a dictatorship can be.
