This is hilarious…Trump endorsed a black man named Amir Hassan, but that wasn’t enough for MAGA/Republican voters to get past their own #racism, so they voted for a white guy named Thomas Smith… who had dropped out of the race a few weeks ago. 😂www.newsweek.com/trump-endors…

I remember and I hate that I do.

I am going to put a song link below.  I remember the night as a little boy me and one of my hellspawn siblings hunched close to the TV to watch the movie.  The adoptive father had forbiden us to watch it as he worked nights and was trying to sleep.  But she convinced me it would be OK if we sat really close to the TV and kept the sound down. By this time in my life, I was used to doing what I was told to do.  Now looking back I realize she wanted me there for coverage knowing I would pay for the indiscresion and she wouldn’t.  

So we sat there next to the TV and I heard this song. It was such a song of hope and I wanted so much for it to be true. However as was so often in my life as a child someone had to pay the price, and that someone was me.  When the show was over and as the credits came on the screen he came out.  He said I hope it was worth it.  He ordered his daughter to her room and grabbed my arm dragging me back to his bedroom. I paid the price for her and for hearing the song. I don’t think I need to go into the details, it was the same thing that happened almost daily in my life at that point. One pain or another always equaling someone else taking their enjoyment or anger out on my small body. But the song stuck with me and in many ways became my anthem for hope of a better life.  Sad a 7-year-old needed that.  And even sadder are the memories of what he did to me that night in either his anger or need. Below is the song.   Hugs

Christian Supremacy shows its ugly face to the Northern Arapaho Tribe!

I had my allergy shots this morning. I’m in agony right now.  Not from the shots, but from the pain in my back muscles as they spaum.  Every since I have had the operation on my lower back to reduce the pain in my right leg, the pain in my back from the rest of the back muscles spasuming is out of control.  When I saw the surgeon this week, he looked and noticed how badly swollen the mucles were and agreed that I needed immediate relief from the situation I was in. He put in for mucle relaxing trigger point injections to relax the mucles. But other than lying down and taking muscle relaxers, there is little I can do at this point. I do have a hot tub, but if I push Ron to open it and get it ready to work, he will have to stop the work on the rest of the projects, including my new office, which I really need finished. So I suffer and often go to bed.  

This video is a great way to talk about how to deal with Christian nationalist bigotry and the forcing of Christian religion on others who have different beliefs.  In fact I read a post while waiting for my shots about a new trend of Christian evangelicals going on airplanes and forcing those in the plane to listen to sermons and preach about the Christian god.  I don’t get this, but I experienced something similar in the military, where a sect of Christians would try to cornor me every time I sat down for a meal in the chow hall to eat they would swarm my table demanding I listen to them talk about their god.  It did not make me feel better about their faith nor did it make me less gay, which was their real goal.  In fact when I returned the gesture to talk to them about my beliefs, they got really offended. Strange how they think pushing their religion goes only one way in their minds.  The thing is they know religion is a protected class where sexual orientation is not, but some friends and I came up with a good way to discourage them.  We would listen to their spiel if they listened to ours first.  We then spun them a made up religion on the house of Approditie, a religion based on having sex and being body worshippers. They got so grossed out over having to discuss the sex and nudity that they stopped pushing their shit on me.  I wonder if it would work today on the religions and indiscretions you hear about in the news.   Hugs.  


 

 

AG says locals have asked about LGBTQ+-themed story time

The haters of the LGBTQ+ community are normally Christian bigots using their religion as an excuse to attack and bully those they don’t like or agree with.   To these people just the existence of the LGBTQ+ people is a crime.   These bigots call just telling or letting kids know that LGBTQ+ people exist is sexualizing kids.  To these haters, just being LGBTQ+ is pornographic.  How stupid and silly. Just not being straight and cis is porn?  All nonesense just to attack the LGBTQ+ community.  Hugs


AG says locals have asked about LGBTQ+-themed story time

Published  1:12 pm

By: Matthew Sanders

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) — Missouri’s attorney general wrote to a local library board saying that “residents” have requested her office make sure that an LGBTQ+-themed story time is “conducted in a manner consistent with Missouri law.”

A library spokeswoman told ABC 17 News that the event is family friendly.

The letter was dated Thursday and released publicly by Attorney General Catherine Hanaway on social media platforms.

Hanaway, in her letter, reminded the Daniel Boone Regional Library that providing minors with pornography is illegal, as is displaying sexually explicit material in a public location. She also wrote that libraries jeopardize their state funding if they hold events that are not designated for the proper age group.

The letter is in response to the Columbia Public Library’s “Rainbow Story Time” event scheduled for 10 to 10:45 a.m. Saturday in the Children’s Program Room.

“Join us for a queer-led story time with an LGBTQ+ theme. We’ll share stories, sing songs and do an activity with time to meet new friends at the end,” the event description on the library website states. The page states the event is meant for families, toddlers and preschoolers.

Library spokeswoman Mitzi St. John wrote in an email that the 30-minute event includes readings of “Rainbowsaurus” and “Big Wig.”

“Neither include sexual content,” St. John wrote.

Israeli Lawmakers March On Gaza Vowing Settlements

For those who think it is just the government of Israel that is pro-genocide of the Palestinians.  In fact due to media and training in jewish schools the drum has long been pushing that Palestinians are evil sub humans.  Sound familiar?  It is what happened to the very people now doing it to others.  Seems they learned the wrong lessons from Germany in the 1930s to 1945.  The public is mostly fully OK with what the government is doing and the media has pushed it hard like our own billionaire bought media is trying to do.   The media is hiding the truth and wants to push a narrative that supports / makes Israel the poor agreevied party when they are in fact the ones pushing the hostility and threats onto others.  Israel retuniely killed journalists and banned all others from entering Gaza and the West Bank trying to keep video of the crimes being committed by the Jewish public and Israeli government from being seen by the world.  They know what they are doing is wrong and if people knew the truth they would force their government to stop Israel. 

Israel doesn’t want coexistence with others; it wants to rule over them.  They want to take land they claim a 2,500 year old document gives to them that the rest of the world doesn’t recognize as the borderlines.  Here is the public supported by the majority of the government, saying no Arabs in Gaza anymore. While the IDF destroyed water for the Gazans, they passed it out to the illegal settlers.  If Palitisinans were doing this on their side of the fence the IDF would shoot them no questions asked.  The MR crew is doing an impressive job laying out the difference in rules and privileges for the Palestinians and the settlers.  As Matt says, Israel is now South Africa apartheid on steroids.  Hugs
