Start the young and work them until they die. Keep the wages as low as possible to keep them desperate enough to take any job in any conditions. All for corporate profits and greed. In this time of hurt for the US public, corporations are recording record profits as their price gouging keeps inflation high. In an attempt to keep the highest profits, the fed tried to blame the inflation on workers wages increasing a small amount, but it has been proven that what is driving inflation is corporate profits.

Vandals Deface Seattle Mural Of Drag Icon Divine
I don’t know if the bigots that did this to a person’s home were driven by religious bigotry against the almost nude showing of the one woman’s boobs or the fact that a fully clothed Divine was also there, she was in a famous movie Hairspray and is a man in drag. I have no idea of their pronouns, and I apologize if I wrongly gendered them.
Regardless, this is a property crime. This is domestic terrorism causing harm to others for a political gain or point. No one had the right to do what these four individuals did, but due to their right wing or religious views, they felt they were entitled to do so. Their god’s happiness comes before the happiness or security of any human or people. The right demands total obedience to their views, or they feel free to hurt and harm those that won’t do as they say. This is how far the right has fallen into total fascism and dictatorship. Do as we demand, live as we tell you, or we destroy your home, and even threaten your health and life. It is very anti-democracy and the things the US use to be, but it is very much the way things went in the 1930s Germany. That was when Hitler supporting Brownshirts did just what the gang thugs enforcement arm of the Republicans are doing today, attacking those that resisted the restrictions and ascendancy of their preferred fascist leaders. It is a very scary time in the US as most people today don’t know or understand that history. Hugs
They were seen on surveillance taking their time to douse the mural for nearly five minutes. The paint rained down on the roof the art, the porch, and the windows. Nothing was spared.
The owners of the house say whoever did this seems intent on destroying iconic feminist images.
Every other time, the owners have been intent on restoring the murals. This time, the entire house will have to be repainted. Anyone with information is asked to call Seattle police.
Seattle’s CBS affiliate reports:
Vandals targeted an iconic mural in Seattle early Sunday morning, according to the homeowner and video from the scene. The home – located off Interstate 5 near the Northeast 65th Street exit – has a mural on an outside wall that faces the freeway featuring 1950s pinup model Bettie Page and historic drag queen Divine.
Just after midnight Sunday, suspects approached the home with what appeared to be pressurized containers with red paint, which they used to cover the mural and much of the house. They were seen on surveillance taking their time to douse the mural for nearly five minutes. The paint rained down on the roof, the art, the porch, and the windows. Nothing was spared.
Read the full article. Watch the video. The owner of the home and his wife say repairs might cost $20,000, but the mural will stay.
So here’s the 2 of them again, later that same evening…
They have not failed, you have
OK, what an afternoon.
Hello all my friends. On Monday, I got some steroid shots in my back muscles to help with the pain. But they say it takes three days for full effects. I have to admit depending on how bad / hurting I am, the shots can help almost with in minutes of the injection. Because of people being on vacation I did not see my normal provider so the question I have did not get answered. But let’s move on.
This morning I got up like around 5 AM not able to sleep, that is one of the effects that these steroids have on me, I can not sleep, and I feel better than ever. I can breathe again, I can move better, and I am feeling so much better. But with my fragile bone situation they have to be very careful how much steroids I get. Yesterday I worked on our laundry while Ron worked on the house and I was so full of pain and swollen muscles, Ron wanted to forbid me from any work today. That ended up being not the case, but he is very upset while being grateful.
Hurricane Ian took the roof off the front room of our home, it was about 12 foot by 24 foot, give or take some inches for supports or such. The county says it is 12 by 24, so that is what we go with. Due to our roof being hit by other roofs and debris, our roof (which is a great AMS metal roof that has never failed) split open on a tear on the south side of an east facing room roof and peeled it back over half the room. That was my office and my electronics were in there,
After the storm we had to close off the room because we had a double french door there and so say six or more feet. In the emergency Ron and James but up sheets of plywood we had over the opening to prevent any water coming in and keeping the heat out. It was not the greatest situation, but until the inner roof was installed we had to close that part of the house off. So recently we got the panels that we ordered right after the hurricane, so Ron and James put the inner roof up. Ron has worked for a while to calk and fix any leaks.
Today when as much as could be done to weatherproof the room and with Ron trying to work in that room with no air flow and temperatures between 95 and 120 I declared that the wall had to come down so Ron could work in there without the heat causing him more health problems. At first he resisted but when I laid it all out he agreed it needed to be done. So after trying to work in the room with the high Florida heat he came in and covered in sweat and shaking the guy with MS said he was going to lay down. When he got up he agreed I was correct.
So as Ron was working in the supper hot room that is east facing getting all the morning sun / heat getting it ready to take down the tarps on that side and the plywood on the rest of the house side. I worked to move everything that had been piled / set in front of that are because we did not have room for it. Once Ron was done came the real pain issue for me.
We had two lighter pieces of plywood across the top and on very heavy 1 inch plywood on the bottom supporting the upper ones. Ron made sure when he took the two pieces off he made sure he took the brunt of the weight. But I still had to help him carry them out to the family room where they are now stored. He wanted to wait to take the biggest heaviest one off as he was really worried about my back and health.
But I moved most of the inside stuff and Rom moved the heavy stuff and then we took down the plywood. For the first time since Ian made landfall Sept. 28, 2022, in the Fort Myers area as a Category 4 hurricane, we had a connection to the front of our home from the inside. The ferocious 150-mph winds lasted for over 8 hours as we were in the hurricane eye wall. Our home had with stood every other hurricane, but one woman neighbor claims she had seen a mini tornado caused by the hurricane move over our home and several others in the same east / west direction, which would have caused their roofs to be ripped off and slam into ours.
So here is the photo I quickly took as Ron had taken the heavy stuff he wouldn’t let me handle out, and after I set up the fan. It will be grand to get our room back. But still we have to reapply to FEMA to pay for all the bids we finally got, but now FEMA has closed our account since it has been this long. We have to now start a new account, get a new inspection and hope we get enough money for the 30 grand in home repairs we need after the Hurricane. Hugs
Hugs and love for everyone. I am going to try to eat before bed. Scottie
ANALYSIS: Trump Made $82 Million From Ireland And UK Properties He Relentlessly Promoted While In Office
ANALYSIS: Trump Made $82 Million From Ireland And UK Properties He Relentlessly Promoted While In Office
Something everyone knew / knows. Trump failed at every business attempt he made, and he clearly was into money laundering. He got a break on TV when the show promoted him as a super wealthy, smart businessman that was a total fiction. But he burned through the nearly 500 million he made from that like a drunk sailor on their first shore leave after a long voyage. The financial experts say if he had put the 400 million his dad gave him in the bank, he would have far more money than he does now. The most profit trump ever made was when he was president, and that was because his focus as president was enriching him self. Too hell with the country, too hell with the laws, and to hell with the constitution, and worse every foreign decision was made with trump’s family profits in mind. Trump’s focus has always been only on himself and his needs.
There are a lot of great comments, but I am seriously pushed for time and Ron pushed himself too hard outside when the heat on him was 102. He has MS which means heat is the enemy, but he won’t listen until like now when he is feeling very bad, ill, sick. So I have to divert my attention to caring for him. Hugs
Failure to see the truth
I was a transgender child.
This is the terrifying person the maga right conservatives want to erase and claim is a threat to society. This is a really informative video by a young man who describes the steps it took to get what he needed to be the person he really was. This person’s lived experience put to lie all the myths the anti-trans people claim are happening, like mass pushing kids to be trans, no medical checks, and just rushing kids to sex changes. It amazes me that in 2023 we still have throwbacks to dark ages in understandings of biology and social development. Notice this boy knew his gender was wrong most of his early childhood and even at 9 years old he knew he was not a girl but should grow up to be a guy, but it became a serious issue for him at 12 years old. Puberty time. This is the same period of time the maga religious right wants to claim kids don’t know anything about gender or sexual attraction. And even though this boy did not have teachers telling him about pronouns or gender expression, he still realized he was not his assigned sex / gender. He talks about gender conversion, gender dysphoria, and the misinformation about trans kids / people. His story is interesting. It also is very informative and destroys a lot of the trans haters talking points, even to the point of no harm and many benefits of letting kids socially transition. Well worth watching. Hugs
