The MeidasTouch released a video of a HOT MIC moment with The Mango Moose Knuckle! Then, RON DeSantan releases 160 pages of Grand Jury transcripts from Jeffery Epstein’s 2006 Grand Jury Trial!!
Thanks to Ali for the link. But seriously why is no paper or his moral police followers who call gay people, trans people, and teachers groomers and pedophiles have not called for pedophile tRump to drop out. By the way, with WordPress new format this was a huge pain to post and took over an hour to do. Hugs. Scottie
Last batch of unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents released
In total, 4,553 pages of documents were made public, and they included the names of more than 150 people connected to or mentioned in legal proceedings related to Epstein and his network, which allegedly centered on paying teenage girls and young women to engage in sexual acts with the wealthy financier and other powerful menunder the guise of massage therapy.
‘Outrageous to decent people’: Disgusted judge finally releases Jeffrey Epstein rape testimony that preceded sweetheart plea deal
Among the revelations contained in the transcripts are the statements from victims who were minors at the time they were paid to provide “massages” to Epstein — an exchange that quickly escalated into sexual abuse, trafficking, and rape, according to victims’ testimony.
Prior to marrying Melania in January 2005, Trump was calling Jeffrey Epstein in 2004 on the regular.

‘Before marrying Melania in 2005’: What new documents claim about Trump-Epstein
New documents which were unreleased so far claim that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were closer than it was believed. Transcripts show Trump called Epstein many times between 2004 and 2006. The screenshots were sealed in 2008 as part of Alexander Acosta’s deal for Jeffrey Epstein and were released on July 1.
“Trump’s name appears over and over again on Jeffrey Epstein’s message logs in the grand jury docs released this week. It is also undisputed: Trump’s name appears 7 times on Epstein’s private jet flight logs, that Epstein flew on Trump’s jet with a young girl of indeterminate age, girls who Epstein trafficked worked at Mar-A-Lago, a girl Epstein trafficked mentioned visiting Trump’s casino in a recently released deposition transcript.

CNN HOST PAMELA BROWN: “You’re saying that the teaching of the Bible in the classroom is a must, that every teacher must accept that. The bible includes beheading, rape, and incest. Do you support teaching children about those topics?”
RYAN WALTERS: “I support teaching children our history accurately and what we’ve seen is the radical left and the teachers’ union have driven the bible out of schools.
“You can’t talk about our rights coming from God, as Thomas Jefferson referenced, you can’t talk about Abraham Lincoln talking about being on God’s side in what he does and that inspires him?
“You can’t talk about the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King Jr., who routinely referenced examples from the bible, including from a “Letter from Birmingham Jail”?
“I’m doing the things I’m doing is because of the tenets taught to me by the bible, so it’s essential that our kids understand our history and we’re going to put it back in and the left is going to continue to try to censor our history. Well, we’re not gonna allow it here in Oklahoma.”
BROWN: “Okay, you didn’t answer my question. We’re going to get to the history and everything, and by the way, Thomas Jefferson, he advocated for freedom of religion, actually not the establishment of a religion for one, but are you okay with all teachings of the Bible? If you want to bring it back into the classroom, rape, incest, beheading. Is that acceptable to you?”
WALTERS: “Again, I’ll answer your question, you might not like to answer, but it is the answer. It is our history is referenced, the bible was referenced multiple times in American history. It had a profound influence on American history.
“It was the bestselling book in American history, to not teach that in the classroom is academic malpractice. Our kids have to understand our history and we’re not going to hide that from them.”
BROWN: “Okay, so will you allow teachers to teach all aspects of the Bible? How are teachers supposed to know what of the bible to teach and what of the Bible not to teach? It’s a simple question, given the fact that the bible includes, also, you know, pornographic material, something you’ve come out against and actually took a teaching certificate away from a teacher for giving access to students— pornographic material. That’s in the bible.”
WALTERS: “Yeah, let me be crystal clear. The bible is not on the same plane as Gender Queer and Flamer. These are pornography, the bible is a book that was referenced throughout American history.
“We have academic standards that tell our teachers that you are to talk about the bible in reference to the Mayflower Compact, “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” the Declaration of Independence, so these are all very clear.
“It’s very clear from primary sources that these individuals reference history— in our history, they referenced the bible. So look, when it’s historically accurate, we’re absolutely going to include that.
“I mean, think about how absurd it would be to teach about the Pilgrims if you don’t mention their intention for moving to the New World, it’s crucial and we’re not gonna allow the radical left to continue to push a false history on our kids that said that faith played no role, well, just read the history. It’s clearly there.”
The moment that the words “the radical left “comes out of someone’s mouth, I stop listening because I know that they can’t be taken seriously and engaging with them is pointless.
The Bible isn’t history, ours, or anyone else’s. We teach history, including the use of the Bible by historical personages by reading their primary documents. Teach the Mayflower Compact, teach the Declaration of Independence, teach the Letters from the Birmingham Jail, teach On Walden Pond, teach a wide variety of English literature that uses Biblical themes, none of which is teaching “from” the Bible, nor teaching the “full story” of the Bible.
Exactly, the Bible is a tribal scrap book from the bronze age. It contains, myths, legends from various traditions. laws, and strategically placed and conveniently discovered historical forgeries. In our 8th grade Ancient Semitic History class we began learning what the various sources from specific books and verses were. It included spending a lot of time with Gilgamesh and Enkidu before reading the Song of Solomon.
It was an inoculation against the fundamentalism prevalent in Utah.
I don’t think that’s what Ryan Walters has in mind for kids in Oklahoma
“I support teaching children our history accurately…”
Since you can’t really compare the Babble with anything peer reviewed or that can be otherwise corroborated factually, the implication here that using the Babble to teach history to children “accurately” is ludicrous.
Even his attempt to tie the Babble to early American history is pushing the envelope, by a LOT. The hubris alone of automatically implying that a mention of Gawd somehow means specifically the Gawd referred to in his Babble is breathtaking.
“I mean, think about how absurd it would be to teach about the Pilgrims if you don’t mention their intention for moving to the New World,”
Oh yes, go ahead and teach kids how they were religious bigots who thought the Dutch were corrupting their youth and so set sail to establish an intolerant theocracy (see how the puritans treated Quakers as just one example).
After being up over 24 hours and barely able to function I had gone to bed yesterday about 6 pm. I stumbled through eating a grand supper Ron made me.
I ate as much as I could but I was so tired that I ate the potatoes and half the chicken with apple cinnamon dressing. I started by shaving off the edges and working towards the center. I used different sauces he offered me. But with the medications I had to take and being so tired … I finally handed the plate back to him. He is so grand he praised me for eating what I did and when I offered to help clean up he gave me a lot of hugs and love, and told me just to go to bed. Which I did. But I loved what I did eat.
Sadly the steroids have kicked into high gear and my blood sugars are very high while I only slept for a few hours. I woke at around midnight after hours of being in and out, but the first few hours I slept hard. Then by 1:30 I was a wake I was so awake I couldn’t lay in the bed, but was tossing and turning and bothering both Ron and the cat. So by 2 am I got out of bed. But to tell the truth I was unable to concentrate, I had 3 hours of sleep after 24 plus hours awake. But I struggled to read and do stuff.
So by passing the pity me stupidity of my whining, lets get to what I really want to say. I watched videos, I answered emails, and went on the MS survivors site I love and answered comments / replies to me and read a lot of posts and replied to them. I really appreciate the site. It has helped me deal and understand my own abuse and it is full of people like me, people who were also abused. Soon I am going to write about a punishment I was subjected to as a small child to make me compliant or just to see me in as much pain as possible. It involves rubbing alcohol. But I have to be in a safe mind set because it still triggers me after more 5 decades later. The cruelty of those that could think of and do to a 4 to 7 year old. Just think … rubbingalcohol and sensitive boy parts. And to make the coming pain more hurtful. For those that wonder yes the abuse, the memories never go away some fade but others get stronger and more vivid until I deal with them. This is becoming one of those. But now I am going to try to do the kitchen dishes, Ron has gone for his nap after he and I talked major structural changes on our bedroom and the hallway to it. I don’t know if I will get to the blog anymore today, but the last few days I caught up enough I shouldn’t lose any wonderful things you grand people left for me. Hugs, loves, Scottie
Please get past the intro of facts, and listen to the abuse of the Palestinians, especially the thousands of children over the years. For those who have argued with me in the past (I doubt you read my blogs now) listen to how they treat the child in pretrial prison and how the trial is conducted. Children, yes children are terrified, hurt by being beaten, raped, sexually abused, have been shot, arrested at night in their homes and kept with blind folds and in the dark, they are not given lawyers until the day of court by which time they have been forced to sign fake confessions or plea bargain do to pain or fear. Damn it I was an abused kid, I know the paralyzing fear of hearing the heavy footsteps coming toward you, the mind numbing cascade of desperation of not knowing what they were going to do to me next or would they walk past me. They are tried by the military and have no civil rights! My dogs that love gravy if another country did that to ten of our kids we would go to war with them … OH wait that was what Hamas tried to do with no chance of wining. Listen to this and understand that Israel and their military have been provoking these attacks and lying to the world about it. Please listen to the abuse of these children, these people who have no way to prevent their treatment. Hugs. Scottie
You will have heard this claim said over and over and over again. Here’s why it’s monstrously false.
Again she out did herself. She talks about the tRump being a cult leader with a new song as a chosen one while she lists off his horrible choices. Definitely a to watch video.
Side note not related to the video, my steroids injects kicked in, after a great night of sleep the first two nights with limited pain, I spent last night unable to even think of sleep. Finally my spouse helped me with some relief but I only got about 3.5 hours.
This morning when I got up I went right to my blog. I had to eat I was starved so I had a leftover grilled hot dog and grilled hamburger from the night before. Ron had planned on making a beef stew today which he is working on and smells grand. But I was so crazed with hunger a bit ago at 2:30 PM (I got up at 5 am and ate at 5:30 am) that I begged him to help me, so he made me a large salad, which I love and crave salads, we don’t know why. I do have an issue with anemia they once said was to my large bones not making enough red blood cells, but I have not been to low in a while. So he made this large salad and as soon as I started to eat it my cravings stopped and I could think again. I returned to being human. I was denied food as a child and even was hospitalized for malnutrition, so when I get that hungry I get frantic and desperate. I just hope now after a wonderful salad I will be able to eat his grand stew. Now to the video. Hugs. Scottie
I recommend going to the linked article. It has a lot of information on the lawsuit and how petulant the two men are. Here are some quotes. Much more at the Salon link. Hugs. Scottie
Even though the plaintiffs suing for the right to flunk female students for abortion include boilerplate arguments in which they feign concern that abortion is “killing,” the legal filing makes it clear that what really outrages Bonevac and Hatfield is that Title IX prevents them from controlling the private lives of students. Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students “for being homosexual or transgender.” They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for “cross-dressing,” by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts.
As Jessica Valenti at Abortion, Every Day wrote, the language of the legal complaint is “downright petulant.” The picture painted is of two men obsessed with controlling student lives based on what they’re packing inside their underwear. It should be common sense that college students should be graded on their performance in class, not whether or not their professor resents their sex life or sexual identity. Alas, because the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Texas banned abortion, it’s created a pretext for every busybody who wants to spend less time grading papers and more time working himself into an angry froth over the imagined sexual exploits of his students.
Even though Bonevac and Hatfield work in Austin, Texas, they filed their lawsuit 486 miles away in Amarillo, Texas. The reason for this is not mysterious: Donald Trump-appointed judge Matthew Kacsmaryk. The right-wing judge has a long and frankly unhinged history of screeching at top volume about the evils of “sexual revolutionaries.” (Yes, that does sound like a compliment, but he doesn’t mean it as such.) It takes very little to draw Kacsmaryk’s sexualized condemnation. Premarital sex, for instance, makes one a “sexual revolutionary.” Using contraception within marriage also makes one an irredeemable pervert. In his legal writings, Kacsmaryk is very clear that sex is only for procreation within marriage, and anything outside of that should draw legal sanction. He has not weighed in on whether there should be restrictions on what sexual positions are legally permissible within the procreation-only marital sex, but give him time.
“Pregnancy is not a disease, and elective abortions are not ‘health care,’” University of Texas at Austin professor Daniel Bonevac sneers in a federal court filing with professor John Hatfield. Instead, Bonevac writes, because pregnancy is the result of “voluntary and consensual sexual intercourse,” students should not be allowed time off to get abortions.
If the students disobey and miss class for abortion care, the filing continues, the professors should be allowed to flunk students.

Bonevac [screenshot above] can be seen in the October 2016 video below expressing his devotion to Trump.
Judge Kacsmaryk, a former lawyer for an anti-LGBTQ hate group, was exposed last year for failing to disclose millions in stock holdings.
Kacsmaryk was previously exposed for failing to disclose virulently anti-LGBTQ interviews and acting to hide his authorship of an anti-abortion article ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing.
More recently, he upheld a ban on drag shows at a Texas university. Kacsmaryk’s ruling to ban abortion pills is pending before the Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments on the issue in March.
Two male Texas professors are suing to flunk students who get abortions.
Their reason? The students had "consensual sexual intercourse."
Remember folks, if you find out during a wanted, planned pregnancy that the fetus is dead and CHOOSE to terminate, that’s an “elective abortion.” These people are as ignorant as they are cruel.
Whenever marriage equality comes up, they all scream about how gay marriage means the end of the human race bc children. So now they want to make it impossible to get an abortion, which means more people will be using contraception. Then they want to eliminate contraception to increase births, many of which will be unwanted. But that’s the best I can figure their plan is.
