Is America Competitive?

Trump thinks American wages are too HIGH for us to be “competitive”. My question is: Competitive for whom and by what metric?

Let’s talk about Korea, balloons, and an exchange….

Why We Build the Wall

TRUMP FINALLY CONVICTED! Guilty AF | Christopher Titus | Armageddon Update

Let’s talk about stereotypes and accepting you….

So for the third day …

As many of my readers will know I have been trying to move from my long time browser to something less invasive.  I tried Firefox and took an entire day to move everything to there.  That took forever.  But I did not like the way it worked with the websites I like to visit.  

While several wonderful readers told me of their browsers either used them or my security settings wouldn’t let them download.   Lucky for me Barry, a frequent reader and commenter read of my struggles and suggest one I have not heard of before.  I am trying it and so far like it.  The issue will be the history.  Will it save my open tabs so I can reopen them if the window closes.  I did see and turned on auto sessions saving which is supposed to save and allow to be reopened another time.  I hope it works.   Hugs.  Scottie   

Some Joe My God posts I wanted to share but was busy for two days changing my computer browsers.

So what started out to be a simple fix of a malware problem on the blogging computer I used to completely change all my old Chrome tabs into Firefox tabs.  I don’t like the new agreements on Chrome about information gathering no matter who you make your settings to prevent.  Basically everything you do is recorded and sent to Google.  It is frustrating.  Firefox has less work ability and on Chrome I could always recover old tabs if I did not delete them in entire windows, even on other devices.  So far Firefox doesn’t seem to have the same ability.  If I start to lose to many pages or comments, then I will have to switch back.  While privacy is important I need function much more.  I need to be able to switch open tabs from one computer to the other to clean them.   I will try this but it may not last.

Here are the open Joe  My God posts I wanted to share before this all happened.   Enjoy. 

Read the full article. Earlier this week and this morning it was reported that Florida educators are receiving state training on teaching Christian nationalism and teaching that genocides such as the one committed by Joseph Stalin are examples of cancel culture.

Florida Teacher Training Calls Joseph Stalin’s Execution Of 750,000 Dissidents “The Original Cancel Culture”

And is the republican party dead and reborn as the tRump cult … here is this.

Read the full platform [PDF]. The 2024 platform echoes many of the anti-LGBTQ items seen in the 2022 platform. The platform also contains the many attacks on trans youth now codified into law in nearly two dozen states. Photo: Newly elected Texas GOP chairman Abraham George.

And it total partisan Christian Nationalist news ….

 

And in bigotry thuggish maga right wing behavior wins news … But think about this.  We have normalized and now accept that people going into a store and destroying the merchandise and attacking the staff is OK as long as it fits our religious or political beliefs.  Is this what a civilized society is or has become?

Cultists are also raging in the comments of Walmart’s Instagram post. Sample reply: “Walmart and Pride whatever it is, I hate all this because you glorify everything in this world except what God has created to be from the beginning, which is a family, man married to a woman and their children!! Why don’t you give a true family unit a special month??? This evil agenda to shove all that’s unnatural down our throat will be your downfall one day!! God will not be mocked!! Yes, everyone has a right to choose how you live but why does it have to be glorified for a month??? Just wrong!!!”

Lastly in the SCOTUS corruption news.  

BREAKING: Israel Strikes Sheltering Palestinians In Open Defiance Of Recent ICJ Order

The horror of the illegal Israeli strike in refuge camp Rafah, where Israel kept insisting all Palestinians MUST go to be SAFE, Israel has now been attacking.  After Joe Biden, Mr lets play nice and get the Israeli’s to not do it, and the rest of the world body said stop the illegal action now, Israel has committed another war crime.  

These people are trapped in a burning tent caused by the strikes, the injured / death toll is still coming but it is catastrophic because … Israel told these people to go there and they would be safe.  Israel is shooting fish in a barrow, but these fish are humans, Palestinians, and Israel does not count them as human!  Understand what Israel is doing and realize what the end goal always was.  They want the eradication of Palestinian people and the land they are on.  They have killed tens of thousands of them, and they want to kill the rest.  Israel wants Gaza land for itself as even Jared Kushner tRump’s Middle East envoy said the land would make beautiful sea side resorts.   In recent reports we learned Israel military were told to target aid workers and that they deliberately targeted medical people in any role.  The goal was according to the military to stop, prevent, and keep others from helping Palestinians!  When they tell you who they are, believe them the first time.   Hugs.  Scottie

In just two days following the International Court of Justice’s order for Israel to end its offensive in Rafah, the Netanyahu government is openly defying it in extreme fashion.

This Vile Pro-Israeli Claim Taken Apart

How low can apologists for this crime go?
