Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 7-13-2026

I am sorry, I wanted to add so much more to this post.   I have 65 websites I use to make this post.  However I am very very tired.  It is 4 pm here and I will struggle to make supper for Ron and me, and I doubt I will be able to even eat.  As much as I love the blog and the people who come here who I adore, I love my husband the most.   Two days ago when I fell because I grabbed a support that gave way, my 71 year old husband charged into the room and helped me back up.  Both of my hands were very bruised and damaged.  We help each other.   So this is the post.  After I schedule this, I will go make our supper.  Sadly I simply have run out of time today to get to the wonderful comments.   But the grand thing is everyone who comes here has a voice on what I post.   But Ron has said that other than sharpening the knives he needs he really wants to leave me alone to reply to your comments.  See Ron understands both how important this blog is for me and he agrees to the large cost each year, and he supports my being able to interact with each of you.  However on my part I also know that making my husband of 36 years happy means a lot of nighttime hugs and some one who reaches out to comfort me when I am crying or sobbing at night.  

I hope others can have the relationship Ron and I have.  When he was sick or fearing he needed a new heart I was there for him in the room holding his hand.   When I scream out at night remembering my abuse scaring the cat he is there to wake me, hold me, and force the hurt away from me by his very presence.  Love and best wishes to everyone and hugs to those that want them.   Scottie

To all my Australian readers.

Evaluating The Interview With Jenny Racicot, Graham Platner’s Ex

Another person who has questions about the reporting and evaluating what was said in in those reports.   Suris is trying very hard to be even handed and fair to all involved.  He does point out some of the issues many people have with the entire affair.  Again this is a serious accusation that is not only at this point.   Again no one is under oath and some of the things reported have been found incorrect.  Such as her telling her ex at the time it happened, but that is not true.  Now she is not under any obligation to tell anyone.  Every person who has been abused deals with it and opens up about it in their own time when they feel they can do so.  Some never do.   But if you are using the fact that you told someone and it turns out you did not, that is important information to know.   I want to add two things.  Suris is not a misogynist and is very openly pro-female and pro-LGBTQ+.  He is really trying to just understand the facts and evaluate them without making a moral snap judgment or purity testing either party.  But he has no advanced training in sexual abuse nor in court procedures of interrogation.  He simply is listening and giving his best reasoning on it.   Hugs


 

What’s Next In Maine’s Senate Race? | Ryan Grim | TMR

As Emma says in the intro what reporters including herself decide to include, leave out, or highlight can influence how a story is received and the reaction to it.  I know my last post had raised some concern.  I will be addressing all of that after I get tomorrow’s cartoon / meme / news post scheduled and the Sunday morning semi news shows watched.  If you listen to this please note that neither one of the reporters is excusing what Platner might have done; they are discussing the omitting of details that could color the story in different ways and should reporters be concerned with that shading effect.  The fact is in my opinion there are a lot of unknowns and unanswered question.  This is not a court of law that a person’s life is being examined under; no one is under oath in any of this.  It is being tried in the media of public perception.  So in that case I want to be sure of the facts before I condemn a person and ruin  their life. 

I also believe strongly in redemption.  We all have made mistakes and we all were young.  I am not perfect.  I have always had the idea of being a better Scottie today than I was yesterday.  I had a temper in my 20s and have struggled most of my life to not just control it but to remove it and the triggers that ignite it.   Should 20 year old me ready to battle and fight at the least provocation be the down fall of 40, 50, 60 year old Scottie now?  Is there no redemption, compassion, or empathy for the experiences that lead to mistakes and wrong choices?  But that is not what this post is about, it is about what facts should be included or omitted in reporting.   Hugs

These are thugs. They are not trained police. They are white supremacist who think no rules apply to them.

Please notice the brutality towards the ones they detail and those bystanders.  They assault the people recording them and they threaten them with more violence and arrests.   To the ICE no one has rights.   How long will we tolerate this lawless militia  type behavior towards the people?  No law enforcement would get away with this.  They do it because they are masked and Stephen Miller will do anything to protect the ICE thugs doing his dream of a country of only white people who follow every order of the authoritarian government.   Warning it is a hard video to watch.   But we must.  Hugs


 

These Democrats Are Disgusting…

Peddling Hate

I’ve heard a number of commentators and politicians over the years. One of the striking things that rings in my ears is how some are interested in caring for others while others are interested in excusing the abuse of others; some are interested in caring for the hungry while others are bewailing the “cost” of feeding their neighbors; some are interested in the healthcare needs of our people and others are interested in the tax reductions of the uber-wealthy. I don’t know the political right or wrong of things, but I sure know what I value.

Choose Love.

My Doctor visit to day and for the futures. I have so much I want to share

OK I should go to bed but the war between my pain and my steroids that got me able to walk again.  So after a visit with the most understanding primary care provider I have ever had, he started talking about how I am still very anemic, and I am showing my iron is very low.   He went over the three situations why that could be happening.   

He explained his reasoning, I either am bleeding out like a woman with her normal monthly discharge.  He smiled as he said I doubt that is this case.  He then looked over the rest of the results and informed me I have a serious problem developing.  

The doctor looked at my elevated results and the other bottoming out results and quietly explained there are three causes. None of them are good.   

I could be not getting enough iron in my diet which I explained to him Ron with our limited budget tries to at least twice a week to give me red meat.  He will deny himself that beef even when I beg him to take some.  He wants our limited funds to give this to, to me

 The doctor explained that there were two other reasons I was having these results.  He worried I was bleeding, and that would be internal.  Also I could not be absorbing iron which is a thing a lot of people have.   I did not know that.  

So I listened to the doctor who is very responsive to me and knows my abuse I and told him I was OK with doing a lower GI.  He tried to offer me an out but I explained I had listened to what he told me the last visit and if he felt it was so important, I would do it.  

Then he asked about the PSA raising numbers and I am sad to say I reacted badly.   When he brought it up I started to freak out.  He was saying how the numbers were progressing, and I got very upset, interrupting him, grabbing at my hair and told him … look I just got myself willing to let a lower GI happen where something will be put up my butt by people I don’t know ……

At this point I was standing pressed back against the wall of the room I was panicking because of what I thought he meant.  To the doctor’s credit, he was not suggesting that.  He stayed calmly on his chair and told me he wouldn’t ever ask that of me.    He only was suggesting that if it was warranted, he would work with me on an appropriate echo or MRI for the procedure. 

Because I was so upset he did not do the normal touching of the body but did ask if he could listen to my front with his scope and then when he asked to put the stethoscope down my back I agreed but I guess I got so upset he only did two.   In my defense afterward, I offered to take off my shirt and let him repeat the tests.   But he refused to do that to me, saying never would he put me through that.

I am going to bed, but the cartoons / memes / news posts may not get out. It is 8 pm my time.  I will have to get up by 3 am to do it for everyone.  And to tell you honestly right now I am very tired.  I love doing this post.  

However this weekend I have told Ron I will sharpen all the knives in the house.   I do it because I can and it is good for the house.  So if I am not posting or such just Know I am dealing with home stuff.  Which I love as much as this blog.   Hugs and good night
