Seriously important news on republicans past efforts that swung elections to them by cheating and the ones they plan for this 2024 election. Read, get angry, prepare to do what it takes to vote. This is simply batshit minority rule over the majoity so they can ignore the will / wishes of the people. They want to rule, not serve the public. Hugs. Scottie

Oklahoma: EPIC Theft of Public Dollars by For-Profit Online Charter School
Thank you to politicians are poody heads at https://poodyheads.wordpress.com/2024/03/29/oklahoma-epic-theft-of-public-dollars-by-for-profit-online-charter-school/ for the link.
Charter schools have long been a scam, a way to get either Christian theocracy into the classroom or for right wing profiteers to get tax dollars. Remember these schools take dollars from public schools while being exempt from all the same rules. Including test score rules. Like church schools, they get to pick and choice which students they take, leaving the most difficult and disadvantaged to the public schools that lost money to the choosy charter schools. Now it is coming out that most charter schools have horrible results. In fact, one I read about was a tennis charter school that just had the students play tennis and never did school work. Yup, those students will get into advanced education easily. Hugs. Scottie

Thank you Tengrain for another wonderful post that puts the cards on the table and shows who holds the chips. But this one paragraph is to me everything the republican maga fundamentalist Christian right wants to do. Hugs. Scottie
If you happen to be a kid in Floriduh, there’s so many ways this jamoke is taking away your ability to learn about the world around you, from banning books, to expressly banning LGBTQ information, to now banning social media. It’s almost like Bootsie is afraid of what you might learn on your own.
ALT RIGHT A.I.?
I am so tired right now having not slept last night, but I wanted to post this as I felt it was important. This is a direct diversion of every search to the Republican agenda presenting in the best most convincing light. Pushing project 2025. So much for a neutral only the facts’ news AI media. Seriously a bot designed to push pro-fundamentalist republican anti-choice regressive view points? Is it deliberate? We people that love our democracy and progressive country better get engaged and vote, or we lose it all. The wealthy owner class wants us to return to the guided age, when only businesses had a say, government had no power, and workers were slaves to be worked to death for profit. Hugs. Scottie

Some old ones I won’t get to do long posts on.
Mighty Christian of this first one. Good old republican Christian concern and caring. Hugs. Scottie
The bill’s author, state Sen. Jay Trumbull, previously appeared here for his successful bill allowing medical professionals to refuse to treat LGBTQ patients. Last year, he authored a bill allowing businesses to sue to block local LGBTQ rights ordinances and other regulations.
OK with this first batch I am trying to reduce the 74 posts window I have open. I have to start shrinking these windows. That means I can not go deep in depth on each thing I think is important to share. So for a few days I am going to shotgun a bunch of older stuff out. Do I expect everyone to read all of them? NO! What I hope is people see story titles that interest them, open them, and follow the story which is what I do. So expect a few more of these as I clear out old tabs. Hugs. Scottie

MTG Rages at U.K. Journo’s Jewish Space Laser Question: ‘F*ck Off’
This is what passes as a republican statesperson, an elected official we would want our kids to look up to. She is a backwards low IQ maga racist bigoted thug. She is a female tRump, only she is not a coward like he is. She has no sense of decorum, she thinks being an internet troll in real life is a thing to be proud of, an accomplishment. She thinks civility and being nice are deviant behavior. She has the idea that freedom is her being able to tell everyone else how to live, dictating to them what they can or can not do. What a disgusting person. Momma’s don’t let your babies grow to be Marge Greene. Hugs. Scottie
The MAGA congresswoman had just finished saying that Trump supporters like “the truth.”
The News Agents/X
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at a British reporter on Tuesday night who asked her about Jewish space lasers, telling the broadcaster to “fuck off.”
MTG was approached by former BBC journalist Emily Maitlis at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Super Tuesday. What started out as a fairly amicable exchange rapidly went off the rails when Greene was asked about conspiracy theorists among the former president’s supporters—and Greene’s own history of truly unhinged speculations.
Maitlis—the journalist who conducted the infamous 2019 interview with Prince Andrew about his ties with Jeffrey Epstein—began by asking Greene about what message Nikki Haley should take from her latest round of primary defeats. “Well, we’ve been encouraging her to drop out and support President Trump and I think tonight is the clear message that President Trump is the clear frontrunner, he’s the winner in our Republican primary, and it’s time for Nikki Haley to drop out and support him,” Greene replied.
Maitlis also asked Greene if she thought she herself should be on Trump’s list of potential running mates. “No, I don’t think Nikki Haley should be on the list,” Greene answered, apparently mishearing the question. Asked if she would like to be in contention for Trump’s vice president herself, Greene replied: “He’s got a long list—I support President Trump in any way, any way he’d ask me. But I can assure you it won’t be Nikki Haley.”
The cordial interview then took a turn. “Can you tell me why so many people that support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself? He seems to attract lots of conspiracy theorists.”
“Well, let me tell you, you’re a conspiracy theorist,” Greene replied, pointing at Maitlis. “And the left and the media spreads more conspiracy theories. We like the truth, we like supporting our Constitution, our freedoms, and America First.”
As the MAGA lawmaker attempted to walk away, Maitlis asked: “What about Jewish space lasers? Tell us about Jewish space lasers.”
The question related to a 2018 Facebook post in which Greene suggested there were “too many coincidences to ignore” around the devastating Camp Fire in California, claiming that people reported seeing “what looked like lasers or blue beams of light causing the fires” and that an executive of “Rothschild Inc, international investment banking firm” could be involved. After speculating in the post that “space solar generators” could be behind the wildfires, Greene later dismissed her crackpot theory as having been a “sarcastic social media post.”
“Why don’t you go talk about Jewish space lasers,” Greene replied to Maitlis. “And really, why don’t you fuck off? How about that?”
“Thanks, thank you very much,” the British broadcaster replied.
