Great Biden Ad

Let’s talk about Biden, banking, and overdrafts….

I hate hearing someone say both parties are the same.   Tell me a republican that would try to stop wealthy banks from raking in billions in profits from the poor people?   Those people don’t think both parties are the same, they simply don’t have a good reason to support theirs, so they have to claim the other side is the same thing.   It also is why the republicans are so desperate to impeach Joe Biden.  Can’t let tRump a republican be the only one, we have to falsely claim democrats are just as bad.   Not that tRump was good or correct, but that Biden is as bad!   Hugs.  Scottie

Let’s talk about Trump probably paying more….

Let’s talk about Trump, Nikki, and Nancy….

Some videos / new broadcasts on kids being bullied and how it is much worse now that maga wants to remove protections.

If the maga right wing have their way, any and all protections from students bullied because of being different or LGBTQIA.  New laws in red states like Florida remove not only the anti-bulling campaigns but also prevent teachers from stepping to defend the LGBTQIA attacked kid because that would be seen as promoting sexual orientation or gender identification.  All positive posters, safe space stickers, and rainbow acceptance stuff removed.  No more books or movies saying it is OK to be gay or different.  These laws take us back to a time when children were terrified to be outed as not straight or cis, and leave schools with no legal way to help these kids or prevent their abuse.   This is what the moms of TikTok and mom’s of liberty want.  This is what the maga Christian Republican Party want, to drive the kids who are different back into hiding who they are, push them violently back into the closet so that they will feel shame and fear over who they are.  Are we as a nation going to turn our backs on decades of work to promote tolerance and acceptance of those who are different?  Are we going to again return to a time when kids were terrified to learn or even be in school?  Will we let the maga thug mentality win as the way people in the US should act or be?   Hugs.  Scottie

These videos took me over a week to watch and then place here.  While some are out of date, I chose them instead of newer ones because this is the school world the maga Christians are fighting to return to.  Kids being different are singled out and collectively punished.   While watching these the ever helpful YouTube algorithm, or the push stay on our site what these next suggestion lists filled up with abuse videos.   So be careful if that bothers you as much as I, I finally took to watching them off-line.  Hugs.  Scottie

House Republicans Take Another Stab at Cutting Social Security

— from Daily Kos

Republicans just cannot give up on their dream of ending Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Nor can they give up on the idea that they’ll be shielded from the voters’ blowback of cutting those programs if they get someone else to tell them to do it. That’s what they tried back in 2010 with the Bowles-Simpson fiscal committee, dubbed the “catfood commission” by the left, and again with the failed “super committee” in 2011.

The House Budget Committee was back at it this week, approving yet another fiscal commission they want to see included in the final appropriations package they should be voting on in March, having kicked that can down the road again with the short-term funding bill they passed this week. They want another commission that could fast-track cuts to social insurance programs, blocking efforts by Democrats to add protections for those programs in the bill.

The House GOP has been harping on this since they regained the majority in 2022. They tried to include a fiscal commission in their failed attempt to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government back in September. It even featured highly in the fight to find a new speaker after the Freedom Caucus ousted Kevin McCarthy last fall.

Cutting the programs took center stage when GOP Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma nominated Jim Jordan for the job. Jordan showed “courage,” Cole said, in fighting “to get at the real drivers of debt, and we all know what they are. We all know it’s Social Security, we all know it’s Medicare, we all know it’s Medicaid.”

We all know that cutting these programs has been at the top of Republicans’ wish list since the programs were created decades ago. It’s never going to change. But it is providing yet another powerful opportunity for President Joe Biden to shine.

ARE YOU STUPID? – The Theory Of Stupidity By Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Again Ten Bears has presented a thought provoking post of links and videos for us to view.  How he finds time all day to read / view such an amount of stuff is amazing to me.  https://homelessonthehighdesert.com/2024/01/20/lastday-lost-lunch-2/   Today I found the video on this page especially interesting because of what is happening to the Republican Party and the maga movement, which is seriously like the Nazi movement in the past in Germany.   

Warning the video is fast moving, the speech is fast.  I had to stop it several times and back it up to be clear on what the information presented was.  I did not try the CC.  But if you have 5 minutes give it a watch.   Maybe like me you will think this explains maga, or not.   Hugs.  Scottie

Republicans Are Fighting to Let Bigoted Foster Parents Abuse LGBTQ Kids They Adopt

A new rule proposed by the Biden Administration would protect LGBTQ+ youth in the foster care system by requiring adoption agencies to place them in homes that affirm their sexual orientations and gender identities. Republicans, however, have come out in opposition to the change.
