Why I Read Thom Hartmann (And Maybe You Should Too)
The power of the public needs to wake up and fight back. Yes the wealthy and businesses have made it ever harder to find any time to even read news much less take action. But unless we do the past will be our future. The wealthy bought the republican party and even some in the democratic party to support the oligarchy and return to the gilded age of robber barons and a government too small and powerless to stop them. Back then the US was basically run by wealthy corporations and business interests. The people, the public not only did not have a real voice, they simply did not matter. They were only livestock to make the companies more money and when they couldn’t do that anymore, they suffered and died. A life span for the worker was 47, the life span for the wealthy was into the late 70s. Is that what we want for the US? Please people rise up, vote for Biden, the wealthy are desperate and funding all the challenges to him. RFK, Jill Stein, Cornell West none of them can win. Period. The math doesn’t work, the system doesn’t allow it. There are only two candidates that can get the needed 270 electoral votes to win, to be president. These others are simply spoilers paid to tank Biden and help tRump. Don’t let them do it. Hugs. Scottie
Viral Crazy Homeschooling Mom Ruins Her Kids Forever
This is what some people mistake as education for children. A 7 year old, or 10 year old can know what interests them, video games or fun stuff, but they can not know what history, science, math, geology, and even physical education is important for their future development. I posted on my old blog about homeschooled religious kids that simply learned only the bible like orthodox Jewish kids in NY madrases who as adults have memorized their holy book but can’t add or subtract well enough to even get menial labor jobs much less a higher education. It is a travesty. Hugs. Scottie

VIRAL VIDEO: Moms For Liberty Leader Has Screaming Meltdown Over Group Of Drag Queens In Hawaii Hotel
Talk of self entitled importance. By my dogs that love gravy you have to watch the videos. This woman is so over the top that if she was doing this to any other group it would have been thought an SNL skit. If she had been acting like this to black people, Hindus, or Muslims, no one would have accepted it. Sh was screaming in peoples faces and demanding their names. She is a total stranger acting as if she has some type of authority over other paying guests. If she had done that to me she sure wouldn’t have liked my reaction. Scottie wouldn’t have been so nice as the drag queens. The drag queens were guests of the hotel filming there and they got treated horribly by this woman. Yet she claims to be the victim. She went after them, she got in their faces not once but several times filming them, insulting them, accusing them of wanting to chop her son’s penis off. The hotel staff did try to stop her but acted like they were afraid of her or to get too forceful with her and she just went around them or ignored them. Then she continued her lecture and screed to the police when they were escorting her off the hotel grounds. She continued her triad and even accused one of the police officers of being a trans woman, she called the woman a man. She was an attention seeker and did not care who she hurt to get her fix of attention. And her X posts are full of lies and myths about trans people, including something she claimed at the hotel. She said that after sexual reassignment and I think she meant transitioning also, that suicides go way up. In fact studies have proven they decrease greatly after transitioning or having gender affirming medical care. But again facts mean nothing to these haters. Hugs. Scottie

The Sacramento Bee reports:
UC Davis published a statement Tuesday about “offensive comments” made by employee Beth Bourne while she was on a family vacation in Hawaii.
Bourne, the local chapter president for parents rights group Moms for Liberty, posted a video of herself confronting a group of drag queens who were filming a video at the hotel Bourne was staying in, the Alohilani Resort in Waikiki, on Sunday.
“We reject all manifestations of discrimination, including those based on gender and gender expression,” the university’s statement said. The video shows Bourne verbally accosting the people dressed in drag, including drag queen Marina Del Rey.
Newsweek reports:
In the video, Bourne took aim at the drag queens as she accused the hotel of failing to provide a safe environment for her son.
“I’m sorry, but this is—I paid to be a customer at a hotel where I thought you believed that women were real. That because you put on makeup, because you’re wearing high heels, because you have a Barbie outfit on, that you don’t think this is degrading? This is misogyny,” Bourne said addressing the drag queens.
She added, addressing a hotel representative: “If you give me back my money right now, I will leave the hotel, but I’m not going to have my children come down from the 30th floor and see what’s happening here.” According to Bourne’s X bio, she claims without evidence that “1/22 kids is trans” at UC Davis, adding that her views are “mine, not my employer.”
Yahoo News reports:
“This type of behavior is unacceptable,” Hawaii Democratic Governor Josh Green said in a statement Monday. “It is not aloha and we will not tolerate it from anyone.”
As the videos continued to garner views, social media users began tagging UC Davis, Bourne’s employer, demanding she be fired. Bourne works at the university’s Institute for Transportation Studies.
“I’m used to my colleagues thinking I’m a terrible person,” Bourne told The Bee in an April story about Bourne and her estranged trans child. The university said that Bourne’s comments “are protected by the First Amendment,” but that the school condemns them nonetheless.
Videos of the incident together have nearly ten million views at this writing. I encourage you to watch both of activist Tizzy Ent’s clips in full.
San Antonio U.S. Rep. Chip Roy says he wants to ‘ethnic cleanse’ white progressives
In a tweet defending Donald Trump’s plan to deport 20 million migrants, Roy said he wants to deport “white progressive Democrats – with a special bonus for rich ones with an Ivy League degree.”

Shutterstock / lev radinCongressman Chip Roy speaks during a House Judiciary Committee field hearing.U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, a Republican whose district includes a swath of North San Antonio, called for the “cleansing” of progressives in a rant posted Friday on social media platform X.
The GOP congressman, who’s made inflammatory comments part of his political brand, fired off the tweet in a defense of Trump’s plans to deport some 20 million migrants if elected president. Some on social media have said Trump’s plan amounts to ethnic cleansing.
“Tell you what – I do want to ‘ethnic cleanse’ by deporting white progressive Democrats – with a special bonus for rich ones with an Ivy League degree,” Roy tweeted. “I really do not like ‘those people.'”
For what it’s worth, Roy earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Not exactly Ivy League, but pretty prestigious schools just the same.
Roy’s comment came in response to a tweet by Will Stancil, an attorney and research fellow at the Institute of Metropolitan Opportunity in Minneapolis. In his tweet, Stancil railed against Trump’s deportation plan.
“Deporting 20 million people is absoluletly ethnic cleansing,” Stancil wrote. “That’s litteraly the population of New York State, or half the Midwest. It’s 6% of the whole population! Someone from every classroom, workplace, or street. It’s small children, working mothers, whole families.”
Although academics have debated the meaning ethnic cleansing, it generally refers to the forced removal of a specific ethnic group or minority. Perhaps surprisingly, it isn’t recognized as an independent crime under international law, according to the United Nations.
Ethnic cleaning isn’t the same as genocide, which refers to the extermination of a specific ethnic group and is a violation of international law.
Either way, a call for “ethnic cleansing” by a sitting U.S. Congressman — even if made in jest — ignited angry responses on X.
“Disgusting racist! Shame on you!” user @DavidSmuts tweeted in response to Roy.
“Being this bitter all the time isn’t healthy, Congressman,” chimed in user @isaiahmartin.
Even so, some agreed with Roy’s remark.
“We’re with you brother,” user @ chrischownyk commented. “It’s time to take back our constitutional republic.”
It’s not the first time Roy — a firebrand who once served as U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s chief of staff — has made outrageous statements on social media or in front of a microphone.
Last month, during an outburst on the House Floor, Roy warned that the Biden White House’s migration policies will lead to “Sharia Law” soon being “forced upon the American people.” And during Passover in 2020, Roy compared COVID stay-at-home orders to “Nazi Germany” during an appearance on a conservative talk show.
Roy’s up for reelection in November.
