Scathing Atheist Diatribe 483

This is from one of my favorite podcasts. This is a diatribe on how religion is trying hard to take over life in the US and the candidates trying to do that. It is about the candidate who won the PA republican governor’s race who tells everyone that if he wins, he won’t allow a democrat to win in 2024 presidential election no matter what it takes. Hugs

An inside look at CPAC’s European debut

Why is the US PAC in an authoritarian anti-democracy country?   Notice the reporters says they are there rallying against the progressive excesses of the west, and that they are for God, homeland, and family and the conservatives want to do what he did there in the US.   What he did was roll back social understanding and acceptance of differences and to take a hardline on immigration.   He also talked about the need to control the media and to limit what they can report on.   Free societies don’t restrict reporting nor what can be spoken about.  The US is losing the being a free country and in red states like Florida becoming an authoritarian state where the government dictates what people can see, hear, learn, and do in all aspects of their lives.   Also Orban wants to not challenge Putin as he supports how Putin has removed LGBTQ+ from Russia and returned the country to God, the homeland, and family.  Just certain families of course.   This is one of the biggest Republican organizations, is this Ameria first?  Is this making America great?    Hugs

CPAC is partnering with a government that is backsliding on democracy and holding its first European conference in Hungary. Included in the lineup of conservative speakers is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. CBS News Correspondent Adam Yamaguchi is one of the only western journalists who has gained access to the conference. He joins “CBS News Mornings” to share his first-hand experience attending, and the response he has seen following a controversial speech from Prime Minister Orban.

Meanwhile, there’s an international call for Russia to reopen Ukraine’s port cities to address the worsening global food crisis. CBS News foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab gives an update from Odesa, Ukraine.

Why the founding fathers didn’t mention abortion in the Constitution

The Constitution makes no mention of abortion, coincidentally it also makes no mention of… women.

I believe I posted it before, but I am sure it deserves a replay. Hugs

George Bush Had The BEST Freudian Slip Of All Time In Speech About Russia & Ukraine

During a speech at SMU, former President George W. Bush had one of the best Freudian slips of all time by accidentally referring to the unjustifiable war in Ukraine as the Iraq War that Bush started. As if the slip-up wasn’t bad enough, Dubya seemingly acknowledges in an aside that his provocation of the Iraq War isn’t too dissimilar to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Former President George W. Bush: “The decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.””

White Bully Chokes Out Racial Minority & Gets LIGHTER Punishment Than His Victim

This is the country the rabid right wants to create, where the white people get to attack and mistreat the non-white people.    The right wants a 1940s / 1950s world where blacks and minorities knew their place and stayed there.   We are losing what it means to be a country of laws and equal opportunities to become a raciest country of white privilege.  US apartheid?  Hugs

An Indian-American student who was bullied and choked out by one of his white classmates actually received a harsher punishment for the assault than the white student. The school blamed the Indian-American student for provoking the altercation even though videos show that he played no role in being the aggressor of the attack

“In a video circulating online, Shaan Pritmani can be seen being assaulted and choked by a white student in the cafeteria of Coppell Middle School in Texas on May 11. The video begins with the aggressor choking Shaan with his right arm before demanding him to stand up from his seat. “No, I’m not getting up,” Shaan replies. “There is literally no one sitting here.” The student then presses his elbow on Shaan’s neck from behind before choking him once again while dragging him away from the seat. Other students surrounding the two can be heard cheering.”

The Real Reason Why The Housing Crisis Is Only Going To Get Much WORSE

Short-term rental property investors and corporations like AirBnB are trying their hardest to push out regular renters and gobble up as many properties as possible to boost profits and squash competition. Popular tourist spots like New York City and Joshua Tree, California have been hit the hardest by this new housing trend.

“The fever isn’t breaking. There are now bidding wars for one in every five Manhattan rental apartments (and one in three luxury units), according to the most recent Douglas Elliman report. Inventory in all of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and northwest Queens has been hovering well below 10,000 units — as of April, the number was just 7,669. Which is several thousand less than the number of entire-apartment and entire-home Airbnb rentals available in New York City right now: 10,572, according to AirDNA, a third-party site that tracks short-term rentals. Inside Airbnb, another site that scrapes Airbnb for listings data, puts the number even higher, at 20,397. Ever since Airbnb came on the scene in 2008, there have been concerns that the short-term-rental company would deplete the housing stock by sucking up available rooms, causing prices to rise in cities like New York and San Francisco, where there were already severe housing shortages. The absolute number of available apartments and houses on the site peaked before the pandemic and has since dropped back, according to both Inside Airbnb and AirDNA. But there’s a difference now: There are just so few apartments to be had that Airbnbs make up the majority of the city’s available rentals.”
