Today’s posts got interrupted by a friend needing my help with an emotional crisis which I was very happy to give, and then my wonderful husband who puts up and supports me through my own crises / helps me through them needing to work in my Pink Palace to get my Pride Flag backdrop done and start moving my shelving around to make things better for me. Hubby is wonderful and truly understands and wants my Pink Palace to be not only a good space for me but a safe space for all my needs. To anyone who has a complaint about my naming my office space my Pink Palace … nicely said get over yourself. This is 2024 and I get to call my spaces what I want … the not nicely way to put it came to mind but instead of voicing it I will say that I left being embarrassed or upset over my being who I am sexually and emotionally behind me over 40 years ago. Hugs. Scottie.

Didn’t Have To Be This Way …
I want to thank Ten Bears for this video. I really enjoy history and how it still affects us today. I almost lost the link of his to reblog it as I switch videos to the secondary computer and keep reading and responding on the primary as I watch. I am glad I found the original post as it saved me a lot of work. All I can say is if you are interested in history, electric cars, and why we went to using gas when it was much cheaper and not totally profit driven, please watch this video. Hugs. Scottie.
Anti-Trans Campaigner Outed As Having Forged Evidence – WPATH Files
I love Ethel’s videos and I have learned a lot about trans people from her. She often does videos with herself in them but also sometimes does them with the drawn figures. She has been very open with her transitioning journey, and I have followed her since she was a teen before she transitioned. Her videos are remarkable for the detail and receipts she brings to them. She does a lot of research, especially on trans women in sports issues. She documents everything for the viewers to check in the about section and encourages fact checking her.
In this video she sets up the fact that the anti-trans activist that falsely made claims about the WPATH files has a history of lying to try to push their issues. I love watching her videos and if you are interested in trans issues and ways to debunk what the trans haters say, she is worth looking at her back work. Her take down of the entire WPATH Cass report was wonderful and showed how totally false and misleading the report was. The Cass report has now been totally debunked now in part to Ethel’s work. Hugs. Scottie
Today’s video returns to the #WPATHFiles which alleged malpractice by medical institutions who support the scientific legitimacy of gender affirming care, exposing the Files’ fatal flaws and its publisher’s sordid history of forging evidence. Hi, welcome to Essence of Thought with me, Ethel Thurston, as your host.

It’s Not Just Groceries …
When The World Mocks God Because Of Believers
The SDA church through the farmer I talked about before rescued me from a childhood of abuse. I loved most of the people I met. I bought Christian music, I went all in to the faith but still kept my belief in science. I felt somehow as a 17 year old both could coexist if everyone cared for others. But then I noticed groups in the church community I was in, those who were looked down on, the behind the scenes gossip, the in people who were much better off and the other in group who had skills the church needed, and the last group. I realized that I did not buy into the stuff preached about Ellen G White. I found her legend to be built up by the church, but not backed by fact. The strict adherence that teen boys not masturbate and wait until their wedding night for their first release struck me an abuse victim as absurd, and after living in a church boarding school for over a summer and school year quickly realized every other boy there did also. Just some of them felt shame for doing it. I even started to despite all that I had endured and sometimes being made to do it in front of people. Indoctrination on a daily scale is powerful, but in this case it did not break through my prior abuse. But I loved the somewhat community I found. The first time in 17 years I felt accepted by both adults and kids. Oh but I quickly learned it was superficial and all teens deal with the same issues regardless of being abused, and I know of at least two others in the school I went to that were.
Why I left the church even though the farmer and his wife promised to pay for me to go through the seminary to be a pastor in their church, which was sincere on their part. I had already accepted by then I was gay. I even had other boys wanting to experiment in the boarding school … but sadly I stopped them because if found out I would have had to return to the hell I just had been patrol from. I needed to reach 18 so I could leave their control. I feel bad for the innocent gay feeling boys but I had to think of my own safety. The beating I took that made me hide at the farm was very severe and I knew from experience if I returned after someone intervened I could be beaten to death. Not a future I looked forward to. I was gay, their church to this day is anti-gay. I knew I couldn’t be part of it. I left on the best terms I could.
I joined the military the next week. I tried to keep contact with my boyhood friend I spent so much time with who was their son, but after I turned down their offer to send me to the ministry he turned against me and the last time he spoke to me, he told me he wanted nothing to do with me ever again. I had just come home from the military and this was a huge kick in the balls. He became a pastor in their church. I wonder if he regrets telling me that? This video means something to me, I hope you watch it. Hugs. Scottie
Trump Admits He Played MAGA For Fools

Thank you Ten Bears for your link to this post. The link to Ten Bears post is below. Hugs. Scottie
Demented Donald threw cold water all over his supporters who were conned by him into believing massive voter fraud stole the election away from him.
https://crooksandliars.com/cltv/2024/09/clear-admission-loss
Instead of a rally, Trump spoke at a Charlotte-area warehouse in North Carolina. During his speech he rambled out of the blue about the 2020 election results, admitting he lost to Joe Biden.
Trump was bragging that he received more votes than any sitting president before him which is meaningless and ridiculous since he got trounced by almost 8 million votes. I guess his addled brain transitioned into the making an explosive statement to his MAGA cult.
TRUMP: We were getting ready to do it, and then a lot of bad things happened. We did much better, by the way, in the election of 2020 than we did in 2016.
Just remember that. Millions and millions of votes more. More votes than any sitting president in the history of our country.
But they beat us by a whisker. They beat us just by a little whisker.
He beat us from the basement.
If you’re a MAGAt, I hope you heard this and heard it good.
Trump played you all for fools.
He played you for fkn idiots.
Police were killed during the insurrection.
January 6th defendants, I hope you rot in jail.
And you all deserved it
Hey Donald Dump, Ashli Babbitt will still be alive if you admitted you lost on Nov 6th, 2020 instead of on Sept 25, 2024.
Trump didn’t lose ‘by a whisker.’ Biden received 306 electoral votes to Trump’s received 232 and Biden received the most votes in the history of the country with 81,283,501, dwarfing Trump’s meager 74 million.
Trump’s lies tore the country apart and are still doing it.

Some republican maga stuff
“Well, obviously, it would take, you know, 10,000 inaccurate ballots or 20,000 ballots to turn things around,” he said. “No, we don’t have evidence of that. But who knows? If you find a little bit of cheating, who knows if you had the time and resources to look around for more. Who knows what you’d find.”
Grothman last appeared here in July when he lamented that society should return to living “like it was in the 1960s.”
He appeared here last year when he declared that low-income housing discourages people from getting married.
That same week he complained that Biden won’t nominate “straight white guys” to the federal judiciary.
He also appeared here in January 2023 when he posted a flag associated with the Christian nationalist movement outside his Capitol office.
Months earlier he gave a floor speech condemning the US Census for collecting data on LGBTQ Americans, which he found “horrifying.”
Before that he appeared here in June 2021 when he authored a bill that would ban teaching the history of racism in Washington DC public schools.
His first appearance here came in September 2011 when as a Wisconsin state senator he authored a successful bill that banned mentioning contraception in sex ed classes.
Grothman opposes recognizing Kwanzaa and Martin Luther King Jr. Day as state holidays. In 2015, he authored a bill to place a ban on same-sex marriage in the US Constitution.
He ran unopposed in the 2022 election.
This is because of the lies Vance and tRump spread about Haitian eating peoples pets
This next one is because DeathSantis wants to be able to make a political hit job on this incident to score points and claim that Biden Harris refused to give tRump proper Secret Service protection. Hugs. Scottie
Read the full article. DeSantis has said that the feds can’t be trusted to properly investigate the shooting attempt since they are also prosecuting Trump for stealing classified documents.
This week, Montel Williams called out a now deleted post of an unaltered photo claiming that he was Diddy. Williams stated, “Here they go again with ‘all black people look alike.”

Do you wonder why
Hello All. One of the things I find very important is to understand the history of a topic. I don’t understand 99.9999% of it, but I really think it’s important.
My Question for today: Why are Republicans and Democrats so unable to come together in our values?
I would begin with the thought that idealization of the extreme has garnered a ‘squeeky wheel’ effect. This chart from the Republican Party in New Mexico clearly shows how shallow and truly dishonest the rhetoric has become. It is purposely vague and a divisive solicitation of reactions rather than thought.
Are we as Democrats against Parental Rights? Or, are we as Democrats against the raiding of our libraries and learning institutions by “parents” making sweeping decisions about the information and education for everyone else’s parents? Again, or are we Democrats against allowing the “religious” extremists to thrust their will into another parent’s child’s decision to develop and exercise their own genuine identity? Can we argue about a parent’s right to take their child to a book reading performed by a so-called “drag queen”? Or… what?
Do we as Democrats disagree with a voter i.d. out of hand, or are we against the use of hurdles and known socioeconomic devices to deny those with fewer resources their right to vote?
Do we as Democrats disagree with the Constitution or are we in disagreement with the proliferation of guns that kill our children and want reasonable safeguards emplaced? Do we believe that our children’s right to life supplants the right of unstable people owning guns? Wasn’t it Trump who was cheered by his followers after saying he would be able to suspend the constitution?
Do we as Democrats disagree with legal immigration or are we in disagreement with throwing children into cages, removing them from their parents AND THEN LOSING THEM!! (yes, that happened under Trump), or other such cruelty against those hoping for a better life for themselves and their children? I personally think the “border issue” is a distraction they don’t want to solve. Also, have you ever noticed that the vehemence for these “immigrants” always seems to be around those of color? We get immigrants from all over the world.
Shall I go on? The Democrats have repeatedly shown we are more fiscally responsible with the budget, have consistently shown we want ALL to pay their fair share of taxes INCLUDING the very wealthy (gasp!), have consistently shown we are more willing to financially and structurally support prenatal and neonatal care for both the mother and the child. We are also consistently showing much greater concern for the well being of the baby through to adulthood in nutrition, health care, education and opportunities. We are simply not willing to force life where it is not wanted by the parent, or forcing the parent to continue a pregnancy that is fundamentally unhealthy and dangerous. Democrats have consistently shown that regulation of businesses is important because it keeps the trains from derailing and costing billions of dollars, keeps the rivers from burning and destroying land, and unlike the dipshit Michigan Republican governor that thought it wise to use the very polluted Detroit River for the drinking water for Flint – we are against costing countless people their homes and lives so that businesses can pollute freely.
The simple fact is that the very powerful do not want us knowing the truth, thinking rationally on a topic, realizing that we are being kept in the dark and fed bullshit by those wanting us to disagree and fight over scraps under the table. Remember: Republicans don’t understand why those with college educations, who are trained to look beyond base statements, vote against them – and Donald Trump “loves the uneducated” who he can manipulate with innuendo and emotional malarkey.
Well, such is my opinion this morning. Hugs everyone.
