Great short even toned video from the rational national. David is so unable to get loud or show outrage that it makes great videos to show conservatives. Hugs. Scottie

Dave Rubin whines about Suppression Olympics while CANCELLING Harvard
First, I was up all night. I got four hours sleep yesterday afternoon, and half an hour this morning. I have put a lot of this on my new big white board for a video I hope to do soon. That said, this video is a great and important watch. It details how the Fox right who claims all pro Nazi stuff is free speech and defends everything tRump spews is good is attacking University students for saying apartheid is bad. Also how they try hard to besmirch higher education and anything saying Israel is doing anything wrong. Again this is from the people who say nothing about tRump having meals with know Nazi white supremacists and never says a bad word about DeathSantis not disavowing the Nazis who support him. Hugs.

Republicans Have Spent Over $100M On Iowa Ads
This is why the media is desperate to make the Democrats hold primaries. This is why they are pushing third party candidates. This is why they want to pretend there is a real nail biter of a race between Biden and tRump. It is all about the money. This was one state in a short period of time. Think of the hundreds of millions, easily over a billion nationwide. For every station, YouTube podcast, every other podcast, every streaming event that shows commercials for all the print media this is big bonus money. It is not about the candidates nor about informing the public, it is simply about making money. Hugs. Scottie
Texas Drag Show Canceled After Right Wing Crusade
Again it is forcing people to stop doing a legal activity because you personally don’t like it. Is this liberty for all? Is this freedom that the right likes to brag about? It is rule by gang thugs. It is gangland stuff. But again the right makes threats because they don’t care if they hurt people and the left backs down and doesn’t hold the event that the haters shut down because the left care if people get hurt. These people are terrorists. They must be resisted. Today it is drag queens, then the rest of the LGBTQIA, then anything not in their fundamentalist world they will shut down. The US Christian moral police Taliban. Plus these people constantly claim to be the majority or that they represent the country, when the fact is they are a small minority very vocal violent Hugs.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports:
Piaf Kitchen + Wine + Bar had promoted a “drag show” Dec. 31 as part of a circus act at a premium-priced party that also will include a fire thrower, a magician, a palm reader, dinner, music and a DJ.
The restaurant posted Friday on social media, the lineup was changed, “For the safety of our Performers, and Staff, and for a pleasurable experience for our Guests … to ensure a more universally enjoyable and safe experience for everyone.”
Piaf had been the target of hundreds of online complaints after ads for the $75-$150 event including “drag entertainers” were circulated Thursday on social media. One post came from Julie McCarty, leader of the Grapevine-based True Texas Project tea party group.
Read the full article. As you can see below, McCarty’s group has endorsed a raft of far-right, anti-LGBTQ, Christian nationalist extremists.
In my day Evangelicals pretended not to drink alcohol. I guess they’ve given up that lie at this point.
But jesus turned water into grape juice!
Yes, that’s what we were taught. Also the earth is only 6,027 years old.
“You’re confusing drag with church”
Yeah, that’s it.
Republicans are torturing pregnant women with lethal diagnoses….
The Center for Reproductive Rights brought the case and Texas Attorney General/cartoon villain Ken Paxton is opposing it as usual. Let’s talk about it.
Let’s talk about Ohio, Idaho, and 2 wins….
GOP Congressman tells Uganda leaders to “stand firm” in support of LGBTQ death penalty
I read on a different post that Christian nationalist feel entitled to force everyone to view their religious material. And only their religious matter. See they know that this country is a Christian nation and atheist have stolen it from them. Just like the 2020 election was stolen, and just like they know it is their country which to them means the maga right wing conservative minority. You just can not argue with these people, they are so convinced of their belief in a formerly religious country just as they are sure their god exists, and only their god. But it is not good enough to force their church doctrines on the public in our country. They need to force their god all over the world. Hugs. Scottie
Photo: Ike HaymanEvery once in a while, the right in the U.S. can’t help but look longingly at countries where repression of LGBTQ is a matter of law. But Rep. Tim Walberg, a Michigan Republican, went one step further. He actually took a trip to Uganda to meet with leaders there and urge them to “stand firm” in support of their draconian anti-LGBTQ law, which includes the death penalty for gay people.
The law is so horrific that even Sen. Ted Cruz has condemned it.
Walberg took the trip last October, but it escaped notice until Salon revealed it this week. Walberg was the keynote speaker at the Uganda’s National Prayer Breakfast. Uganda President Yoweri Museveni, who signed the Anti-Homosexuality Act into law in May, was among those present for Walberg’s speech. Museveni said that Walberg’s presence proved that there were Museveni later said that Walberg’s speech showed that some Americans “think like us.”
In the speech, Walberg called upon Ugandan leaders to defy efforts to force the African nation to roll back the vicious law, which makes “aggravated homosexuality” punishable by the death penalty.” The U.S. has dropped Uganda from a trade pact and issued visa sanctions against some Ugandan officials. The World Bank has halted all loans to Uganda in response to the measure.
“Though the rest of the world is pushing back on you, though there are other major countries that are trying to get into you and ultimately change you, stand firm. Stand firm,” Walberg counseled the attendees.
Walberg cited the Bible as justification for a law to kill people. “Worthless is the thought of the world,” Walberg said. “[W]orthless, for instance, is the thought of the World Bank, or the World Health Organization, or the United Nations, or, sadly, some in our administration in America who say, ‘You are wrong for standing for values that God created,’ for saying there are male and female and God created them.’”
“Whose side do we want to be on?” Walberg continued. “God’s side. Not the World Bank, not the United States of America, necessarily, not the U.N. God’s side.”
Walberg explicitly aligned himself with Museveni and the Ugandan legislators who overwhelmingly passed the “Kill the Gays” bill. Referring to the Ugandan president, Walberg said, “He knows that he has a Parliament, and … even congressmen like me who will say, ‘We stand with you.’”
A former Bible salesman, Walberg has always been a standard issue religious conservative in Congress. HRC designated him a member of its Hall of Shame in 2014. This year he was the author of a provision he called the Parental Rights Over the Education and Care of Their (PROTECT) Kids Act, part of a larger GOP bill that went nowhere. Under Walberg’s provision, schools would be required to get parental consent before changing a student’s pronouns or preferred names.
His trip to Uganda was sponsored by the U.S. National Prayer Breakfast, a formerly bipartisan group that has recently taken a hard-right turn. The new head of the group is Caroline Aderholt, a former leader Concerned Women of America, a long-time anti-LGBTQ group. Aderholt’s husband is Rep. Robert Aderholt, a Republican from Alabama who once tried to stop adoption agencies from allowing gay people to adopt.
While Walberg has gotten blowback for his comments, don’t expect his fellow Republicans to condemn him. If anything, Walberg is saying what at least a few other Christian nationalist types in the ranks are thinking as well. He’s just another reminder that when it comes to today’s Republican party, nothing is considered entirely beyond the pale, even killing LGBTQ people.
