Hi. I don’t think I could add anything more worthwhile than has been in the post and the comments. Please read this. We have to stop this hard push to turn the US into a theocracy. Christian religious sects are terrified at the decline in asses in the pews. It cuts into their profit, and churches are closing due to lack of people to attend services. They are desperate to indoctrinate kids as they know a bunch of them will stay in the church and give the church money. Hugs. Scottie

ALT RIGHT A.I.?
I am so tired right now having not slept last night, but I wanted to post this as I felt it was important. This is a direct diversion of every search to the Republican agenda presenting in the best most convincing light. Pushing project 2025. So much for a neutral only the facts’ news AI media. Seriously a bot designed to push pro-fundamentalist republican anti-choice regressive view points? Is it deliberate? We people that love our democracy and progressive country better get engaged and vote, or we lose it all. The wealthy owner class wants us to return to the guided age, when only businesses had a say, government had no power, and workers were slaves to be worked to death for profit. Hugs. Scottie
Liberal Redneck – Is Trump Really Broke? Is Biden Really Off the Hook?
I fast forward through the advert which seems to be longer with every one of his videos … could become a problem where I will have to post them in two parts. But again he has the right view on things. Sorry earlier while I was busy I was listening to his interview with the freedom from religion folk. If I can find it I will post it. It was grand. Hugs. Scottie
Liberal Redneck – Congress vs TikTok
So this is the second time I am writing this as the first time I lost everything due to … A sudden loss of internet and a dropping out of my entire comment on the video, which was against the government. Ron asked me if I thought it was deliberate and I am not such a conspiracy theorist yet … but it was weird timing.
The point I was making is he is correct that all our data is already collected by every social media, every news sites … if I don’t want to give a news site permission to all data on my computer or every other website I visit they block me. It is why I don’t post from them. And the same with one of my favorite news sources for in depth information, they demand others to register or pay with them, so I have stopped sharing them. Any way I won’t retype all I wrote, my hands are sore and I have so much more to get to. The video is here. If you want to see through the political attempt to hold down the progressive youth vote watch the video. Time moves on and societies progress. Hugs. Scottie
Why Another Trump Victory Will Be A NIGHTMARE
This very quickly went to being a right vs left talk about abortion and even teaching girls on how not to become pregnant. Again I ask why it is so vitally important for the fundamentalist Christian maga right to prevent young girls learning how to keep from getting pregnant or learning sexual educations about their bodies !!!!

The GOP Has A Plan! It Will Backfire!
Everything that Tengrain says is true. But it is not new. Remember Netanyahu pulled this during the Obama administration. Currently he brags how he has for decades screwed over the US government and how he can make the US congress / republicans do anything he wants. Why??? Well the Israeli government lobby in the US spends millions on millions on every congressional race, trying to get only pro Israel candidates elected. Yet while the ultra pro Israel lobby has billions of dollars to spend influences US elections, the US taxpayers give Israel about 4 billion a year plus all the military support they want. Does that make sense? To Israel, they see the US as an ATM they can abuse and take all they want. Hugs. Scottie
QAnon/GOP Arizona Rep: If Slutty Women Want Birth Control, They Should Put Aspirin Between Their Knees
Wow how do these rejects get elected? Sex is the fault of the woman? That is not how it works. Tell him it takes more than a woman to make a baby. Guys are taught to want sex all their lives, and from puberty they’re told not to masturbate but to find a girl. But girls are property of daddy and they are told not to have sex to preserve their value. WTF. If boys / men get to enjoy sex, why can’t girls / women? Hugs. Scottie
The Arizona Mirror reports:
A bid to make birth control a right in Arizona that was a top policy priority for Gov. Katie Hobbs has stagnated in the Republican-controlled legislature and is likely dead.
Sen. Sonny Borrelli, the No. 2 Republican in the state Senate, responded to a question about whether he would oppose future efforts to restrict access to emergency contraceptives by saying that women wouldn’t need contraceptives if they weren’t so promiscuous.
“Like I said, Bayer Company invented aspirin. Put it between your knees,” he said, implying that, if women hold aspirin between their legs, they won’t be able to have sex and risk pregnancy.
Heartland Signal reports:
Borrelli’s comments echo those made by late Wisconsin pastor and former GOP mega donor Foster Freiss. In 2012, while Freiss was the head of a super PAC that backed Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, Freiss contended that women putting aspirin between their knees was a cheaper alternative to contraception.
In 2001, Borrelli plead guilty to a domestic violence charge. His then-wife’s child told police he witnessed Borrelli rapidly punch his mother three times in the mouth before shoving her to the ground.
Borrelli said he only plead guilty to keep custody of his children, and he later blamed his wife for the incident, claiming she was having a “stress-induced meltdown.”
Borelli, an election denier, first appeared here in 2021 when he and several other Arizona lawmakers spoke at a QAnon convention organized by a man who had just approvingly posted a link to a neo-Nazi film. We heard from him again last year when he tried to force Arizona to discard all voting machines.

FL Man Charged With Hate Crime Murder Of Gay Man
This is what all the republican hate driven political crap causes. Simply put it is the same tactic Hitler used. Vilify the people that you want to harm, so that they are less human and your followers feel entitled or allowed to harm them. I have faced / felt this all my life. I thought that with the advancements and acceptance going forward with the modern age all that abuse could change. Then came tRump and his maga, which gave them permission to unleash their worst demons on the LBGTQ+ at any age, especially the most young in schools. It seems the republican maga fundamentalist right thinks it is ok to beat the LGBTQ+ out of any kid. But if they grow up into an adult still being that way … well we have the right to kill them. Can everyone see how disgusting that is? Sadly, some days I feel so frustrated screaming into the wind. Hugs. Scottie
The Tampa Bay Times reports:
Hillsborough County prosecutors charged a man with murder Friday, alleging that the fatal shooting of a gay man last month at the West Dog Park in Tampa was a hate crime.
Gerald Declan Radford faces a second-degree murder charge in the Feb. 2 death of John Walter Lay. Friends of both men told the Tampa Bay Times that Radford had been harassing Lay for months, hurling homophobic slurs and threatening him. Radford claimed the shooting was self-defense.
The office of Hillsborough State Attorney Suzy Lopez announced Friday that they plan to seek an enhanced sentence against Radford under the state’s hate crime statute.
Tampa’s Fox affiliate reports:
Investigators said they first came in contact with Radford after he called 911 about the shooting. He claimed he shot Lay in self-defense, and with no witnesses to the crime or evidence to prove otherwise, Radford wasn’t arrested.
Hillsborough State Attorney Suzy Lopez said her office is now preparing for Radford to attempt to use the “Stand Your Ground” defense. Lay’s sister, Sabrena Hughes, told FOX 13 that the shooting followed two years of harassment and homophobic slurs directed at her brother by Radford.
Authorities also found a video on Lay’s phone. The video was taken like a selfie of the victim as he detailed a threat that was made to him by Radford, according to deputies. Lay claimed in the video that Radford told him, “You’re going to die.”
Tampa’s ABC affiliate reports:
Colonel Frank Losat with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said the cell phone video on the victim’s phone and character witnesses provided evidence that the suspect did not act in self-defense. Lay had been complaining to his friends about harassment from Radford at West Dog Park for months.
“Some time prior to the shooting, we’re not positive on a timeframe at this point, the suspect and the victim have an altercation over the victim’s sexual orientation,” said Losat. Radford remains in the Hillsborough County Jail.
I normally included the comments because the comments often have many very relevant and important ideas. But I am sorry I no longer strong enough to do that. I have a dozen more posts I want to make, but I no longer have the ability to do it they way I once did. Love and hugs to all. Scottie
