I've tried very hard to contain my anger with this latest atrocity. If some of it has bled through, I apologize. It doesn’t matter whether you’re Republican or Democrat. It doesn’t matter whether you’re moderate or hardcore. This transcends everything we claim to believe about governance, decency, and competence. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been parading a sudden “kinder, gentler” rebrand — apologizing for “toxic politics,” talking about unity, even invoking kindness. That pivot is a lie. And HR 3492 proves it. Her bill passed the House on December 17, 2025 (216–211) — without hesitation, without restraint. It criminalizes gender-affirming medical care for trans minors, making doctors and parents felons. Puberty-delaying medication. Hormone treatment. Medically indicated procedures. All redefined as crimes. Penalties: up to a decade or more in prison. Even traveling across state lines to obtain lawful, prescribed care exposes families to felony risk. This is not “protection.” It is punishment. Every major medical authority in the United States — including the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics — recognizes this care as evidence-based and, for some patients, life-saving, with strong data showing reduced suicide risk among distressed youth. Greene ignores all of it and shouts “mutilation.” Here’s the tell: Her bill explicitly exempts the exact same medical procedures when performed on cisgender children — children whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth. Breast reductions. Hormonal treatment to slow unusually early puberty. Same medicine. Same doctors. Only one group is targeted. Now the contrast that should stop everyone cold. For fifteen years, Republican leadership has promised an alternative to the Affordable Care Act. Since 2009. They’ve held majorities. They’ve had White Houses. They’ve had endless chances. They have produced nothing. And now, with enhanced ACA subsidies set to expire in days, more than 20 million Americans are facing steep premium hikes and coverage loss during inflation. Congress left town. No fix. No urgency. Families are about to be hit — hard. Yet this bill? This bill sails through immediately, on party lines, without delay. So let’s be unmistakably clear: I am NOT advocating unnecessary surgery. I am NOT promoting “turning children transgender.” I am NOT endorsing anything reckless or mutilative. That caricature is propaganda, merely another of trump's endless library of rubbish talking points meant ONLY to make you angry over nothing that truly exists — and it is deliberately used to justify cruelty. What I am saying is simple: Criminalizing families and physicians for following established medical standards — while simultaneously refusing to govern on healthcare for millions — is moral rot. I’ve seen this kind of state cruelty before. It always dresses itself up as “protection.” And it always turns out to be predation, aimed at a politically convenient minority while real problems are ignored. If you think Marjorie Taylor Greene has softened, read the bill. If you think this is about children’s safety, ask why identical care is legal for some kids and felonies for others. If you think this is governance, ask why punishment moves faster than solutions. This isn’t a rebrand. It’s the mask slipping.

I'm testing a brand new speech-to-text software that doesn't make me sound like I'm suffering from Tourette syndrome, and it seems to be working beautifully.I highly recommend the software for those of you who use speech-to-text and are not thrilled with Google or Samsung speech-to-text.It's called Typeless, and you can download it in the Google Play Store. I'm sure you can find it in the Apple Store as well. Here's what the icon looks like, so you'll know you've got the right one.

As an aside.... I purchased an app called "cloaked" today which changes everything. Every time you're browsing on the web, and you see something interesting and begin filling in tbe forms to get through info. Within minutes, ALL of your data is sold to information brokers. It even showed me stuff from my sister's accounts! Once that happens, it's impossible for us to clean it up. That's what Cloaked does. While it's working, it shows line by line where our information lives. Including the Dark Web. Them it removes every single line. Plus all tbe spam phone calls and all tbe spam emails STOPS DEAD. It also intercepts and blocks it all. I'm seeing all this in real time!! The phone calls are a huge thing. It creates a phone number that intercepts all inbound calls, then creates another phone number which is called forwarding. I'm so impressed by this product, I needed yo share it with you all.

I LOVE Suno! I recently revoiced and rearranged Vivaldi's 4 Seasons Summer, presto movement into avant garde, voicing it with one piano, two cellos, and 2 flutes. It was exactly what I heard in my head. I HIGHLY recommend Suno furbthe serious musician.

Pay attention. Go ahead and call this woman a crybaby lib socialist bitch. It shows your mettle, it doesn't discredit her. facebook.com/reel/1407636034…

This is just about right, and, if there really IS a higher power, we will be shedding him like so much diseased skin

Ok, It's high time to set this record straight. Let's talk about TDS for a moment here shall we? Listen up Maga My definition of TDS is far closer to the truth than theirs. TDS describes every thoughtless cult member defending Trump's endless gaffes and lies. Apparently NONE of them noticed when he said — on video last week — that he doesn't "think about the hardships most Americans are feeling. Not even a bit." That's no longer opinion. He was stupid enough to say it out loud, on camera, for everyone to see. It even got traction on Fox News. To those still shaking their Dollar Tree pom-poms as if he were the second coming — THAT behavior, that willful avoidance of plainly visible reality, is the real TDS. The notion that we're just whining to make him look bad is nonsense. He makes himself look bad without our help. As more time passes, as more ridiculous decisions accumulate, as more blatant self-enriching "deals" continue while he openly ignores the plight of his own constituents — the true definition of TDS becomes undeniable. It's not our reaction to his atrocities. It's their blind acceptance of them. There's your TDS on full display. Keep this in mind before you misuse the term again

@Itsoetergabriel Hey Pete, Since I know how unheasitant you are about speaking out against blatant over reach by the current clown show, I bring you some info you might find both amusing and just fucking mind blowingly wrong ;) It seems a "certain someone" is considering changing the name of this disgusting show of stupidity in Iran from Project Freedom to ... get this lol... Project Sledgehammer!!! I mention this in conjunction with his deliberate use of unauthorized music by those who despise him. You may find him taking the piss on the subject amusing, then again, you might consider this to be the perfect time for a preemptive warning:) Big fan from Lamb Lies Down through O/I, and worthy of far more respect than this troglodyte would EVER give you :) My best, NJT

The Problem Here Isn't Christianity. The Problem is the Pseudo Christians The problem is the people hiding beneath its mantle who are among the least Christian-like individuals I've ever observed. This is Christianity being used, not practiced. That's been obvious from the start. I've said it before and I'll say it again: if the Nazarene himself appeared on the Mall in DC tomorrow morning, he would horrify the lily-white power brokers who've spent years co-opting him. They've constructed their own version — tall, slender, blonde, blue-eyed, skin like alabaster. It's as offensive as it is absurd. He would have looked nothing like that. He'd have been short, five-seven maybe five-eight, stocky, with dark nearly black hair and dark brown eyes. His robes would have been dirty and torn. And the real spectacle wouldn't have started until he opened his mouth and began ministering the way he actually did in the Galilee. My belief? It wouldn't have taken long at all before someone moved to get his ass out of town by whatever means necessary. What we've lost is the point. The chasm between us has never been wider or more dangerous — manufactured deliberately by someone who treats government as a personal vengeance machine. Genuine concern for others has been rebranded as woke nonsense. Kindness has been replaced by suspicion, contempt has become normalized, and darkness has settled in where decency used to live. This is not the world I came from and it is not the world I choose to accept. The youngest among them — twenty-five and under — have no reference point for anything different. They've been handed this as normal. Until we stop drawing lines. Until we remember how to care about each other without checking party affiliation first. Until then, we don't move forward. Simple as that.

Let's talk about this latest travesty going on in Germany, shall we? I'm referring to our Mutton-headed Dear Leader pulling 5,000 troops--that's an ENTIRE brigade--iut of the country. Oh??? Over what?! What happened?? Here is the core of the frustration. We aren't talking about a complex macroeconomic theory or a nuanced legal loophole that requires a PhD to decode. We are talking about basic human cause-and-effect: Someone hurt his feelings, so he moved an army. It is a straight line. If a neighbor insulted a person, and that person responded by burning down the neighborhood fence they both share, everyone would call that person a lunatic. But when it happens on the world stage with a NATO brigade, half the country looks for a "strategic reason" that isn't there, and the other half is too distracted by the latest "dolph" headline to notice the fence is on fire. The "tragic" part, is the collective blindness to a simple diagnostic of character: The Stimulus: A German politician calls the Iran strategy a "humiliating blow to American leadership" The Response: Pull 5,000 troops out of the very country protecting the Western front. The Reality: The leader of the free world is making life-and-death security decisions based on a playground grudge. It’s not a difficult concept, but it requires people to look at the "leader" they’ve supported and admit he doesn't actually care about the "governing" part—he only cares about the "winning the argument" part. And for most people, that’s a "brigade too far" . They’d rather believe in a complex "chess move" than the simple, ugly truth that the pilot is flying the plane into a mountain because he’s mad at the co-pilot.

There was a truly disgraceful decision made by SCOTUS today, and I had to read it several times to break through the *legal jargon* until the clarity of the decision came through. It's important that *everyone* understands what happened. This inspired me to break it down in non partisan terms. The Game is Fixed: How the Supreme Court Just Legalized Cheating ​I’ve spent my professional life studying how people break the rules, but what happened yesterday (April 29) is the biggest "shakedown" I’ve ever seen. The Supreme Court just changed the rules of democracy in the middle of the game, and they did it to make sure your voice doesn't count. ​Here is the "scam" in plain English: ​1. The "Intent" Trap (The Invisible Crime) Imagine you’re playing a game of cards and the dealer is caught hiding aces up his sleeve. For years, the rule was simple: If the dealer is caught with the aces, he’s cheating. Period. You look at the Results. ​But the Supreme Court just changed that. Now, they say it’s only cheating if you can find a video of the dealer admitting he meant to cheat. If you can't find a confession in writing or on a broadcast, it doesn't matter that he has four aces in his pocket—the game stays "legal." ​That is the Intent Trap. They know politicians won't admit they are silencing Black and Brown voters. So by demanding "proof of intent," the Court is basically saying: "As long as you don't get caught on tape admitting it, go ahead and cheat." ​2. The "It's Just Politics" Excuse This is the most disgraceful part. The Court created a new label called "Political Gerrymandering." It’s a fancy way of saying: "It’s nothing personal, we’re just making sure our team wins." ​They are now saying it is perfectly legal to wipe out your neighborhood's voting power as long as they claim they are doing it for "politics" instead of "race." It’s the ultimate sanitizer. They’re using the word "politics" like a get-out-of-jail-free card. ​3. Taking Us Backward We are being dragged back to 1964. We are back to a time where your vote only "counts" if the people in power allow it to. They didn't burn the voting booths; they just re-wired the machines so your button doesn't do anything. ​This is an utterly disgraceful performance by the one institution that is supposed to keep the playing field even. They didn't just move the goalposts—they took the ball and went home in the middle of the 4th down. The race to the bottom is in full swing, but now, the SCOTUS is the culprit shaking the pom poms in our faces.

Insults over Thought Bluster over Brains The latest news out of the Gulf is very disturbing. The cease fire agreement has been violated. The terms of the agreement were very clear. One of them, the one that has been broached, is the focus here. It was CLEARLY stated that the cease fire included for all attacks upon Lebanon were to cease and desist entirely. It didn't take very long before the agreement was breached. Last week, Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, was viciously attacked, killing over 250 civilians—men, women, and children. Donald Trump has now taken a very different position, by now suggesting that that caveat was NEVER part of the agreement. Instead of ANY shred of diplomacy, Iran was forced to endure more threats, insults, and character assassination. This is right on brand, as that form of communication is his only currency. A rational mind might think that the obvious mechanism would be to practically examine point A: Where are we in this vulgar, pointless war; then to Point B: Where do we need to be; and finally Point C: How the bloody hell do we get there? There isn't one among our "delegation" with the intellectual fortitude to think. About anything. Well, that's not entirely true. While our laughably incompetent negotiation team is comprised of an outrageously greedy, corrupt son-in-law, a completely worthless land developer, and worst of all, JD Vance, our smokey-eyed Heritage Foundation puppet. When I initially saw that, my first reaction was: where the hell is our Secretary of State? Why is he not part of this team? Well, little Marco had previous plans. He had to attend a UFC event in Miami with Donald Trump. Let that sink in for a moment. This is how seriously they're taking this horrifying situation that we're in. This isn't just a failure of scheduling; it’s a failure of reality. While the administration plays at being "tough guys" in a literal arena, the metaphorical arena of global stability is being dismantled by people who treat diplomacy like a real estate shakedown. When you remove the experts and replace them with a "delegation" of loyalists, you aren't negotiating. You're just posturing while people die. To make matters worse, we still haven’t been provided with anything resembling an honest explanation as to why we are there in the first place. Without a clear "why," we are left with nothing but a raft of surmised opinions, forced to guess at the motives behind a mission that has no defined objective and no moral compass. The tragedy isn't just that these people are out of their depth; it's that they don't even realize the water is rising. When "diplomacy" is reduced to a series of narcissistic rants and ringside photo-ops, the "Point C"—the path to a solution—effectively ceases to exist. We are left with a leadership that values loyalty over life and bluster over brains. As a result, the world becomes a more dangerous place by the hour, not because of a lack of power, but because of a total lack of thought. Until we demand a return to the "A to B" logic of actual governance, we are all just spectators at a very ugly, very pointless show. And meanwhile, in the real world, the civilians in Lebanon pay the price for a script they never asked to be written.

I want to take a moment to congratulate Prime Minister Carney of Canada. His victory is a testament to a masterful way of speaking—saying exactly what needs to be said without ever getting lost in the weeds, and he never falls into the trap of using slander and character assassination . Hearing him unconditionally rebuke the offensive bullying from other sources was wonderful to hear. It has truly strengthened my lifelong support and left me feeling a deep sense of pride fit you! Great job, Canada!

The irony is thick enough to choke on. After learning that Iaran had unilaterally rejected the suggested US Peace Proposal—a document written as if we were the invaded country—one might expect a serious leader to return to the drafting table immediately. But we need to remember that we are NOT dealing with a serious "leader." The hurdle to peace is that he has no ideas beyond bullying and empty threats. And as history shows, he always backs down. Every moved deadline and retreated threat only strengthens their hand, leaving Iran to wonder which of his bluffs they’re supposed to take seriously. By the time he finally looks up, they’re holding all the cards. One might think a concerned leader would have contacted J.D. and Jared in Islamabad immediately. Instead, we witnessed perhaps the most derelict judgment ever recorded: J.D., Jared, and the rest were left to navigate that explosive meeting entirely without him. Talk about unconcerned. Beyond the incompetence is the insult. He left our security to a son-in-law and a "land dealer" while the world teetered on the brink. It is an admission that the most dangerous diplomatic crisis of the century is, to him, just another family errand. So where was our "thoughtful" leader? While the world was watching the collapse of actual diplomacy, he was, with Marco Rubio in tow, attending a UFC Event in Miami. He thought that watching a pack of scripted, sweaty old men engaging in faked violence was more important than fulfilling his duty as Commander in Chief. That UFC Dome perfectly mirrors his own worldview—a place where the "tough guy" wins by being the loudest in the room, and the crowd is paid to scream on cue. While he was sitting ringside with Marco Rubio, soaking up the cheers and pretending the world isn't a powder keg, the Islamabad talks were turning into a complete waste of time. He’s currently playing a game of "Stop Hitting Yourself" with global geopolitics. His grand solution to a blockade is to launch a second blockade, effectively finishing the job for the people he’s supposed to be stopping. Like the entirety of this little trip, his lack of concern makes NO sense. It’s the kind of logic a seven-year-old would abandon by the second grade: "I’ll show them how much I hate their wall by building my own wall right in front of it!" He treats the Middle East like a reality TV plot twist—he creates the crisis, sets the house on fire, and then stands on the lawn screaming about the cost of water. It’s a masterclass in arsonist-as-fireman. He isn't trying to solve a problem; he’s just looking for a bigger stage to be a victim on. It’s the ultimate "tough guy" move: starting a fight, running away to watch a different fight, and then coming back to complain that everyone else is fighting. I'm fairly sure I'll be told he earned the break—that the "hard work" of diplomacy justifies a night at the UFC—even as oil sits at $108 a barrel and gasoline in California has hit a staggering average of $5.89 a gallon. It seems the only thing working hard is the machinery of his excuses. There really is no longer a question here. His staunchest of supporters are beginning to talk about his inability to lead, and they're doing it from a STRICTLY non partisan approach. They're doing it because it's the RIGHT thing to do.

The Platter and the Papacy: The Gift of Unadulterated Madness Unless I miss my guess, the Fool on the Hill just *might* have made a fatal error in judgement. Well, ALL of his judgements hold a certain measure of doom, don't they :/ Pope Leo, the very first American Pope has been furious with his frivolity, with his ruthlessness, and with the glee he takes when destroying people. So what do you think he did when Pope Leo spoke out VERY clearly about this? Did he wisely hold his tongue? Uhhhh no. Did his response contain the respect that any sane individual would display? Uhhh, FUCK NO! He acltually threatened him! He said he wasn't discounting a military action on The Holy See!!! When Pope Leo pushed back gently, (I can't even believe I'm writing about this) The Village Idiot actually said, "Considering the might of the US Military, I can do anythting I want!!" Meanwhile, Hegseth fainted dead away from having too many unsolicited orgasms at the idea. I've always known and understood his psychological disorders very well. But this...this transcends ANY of the very worst disorders I've EVER encountered. I'm just stunned by his stupidity. With his polling at an all-time low and the numbers of deep red jurisdictions having flipped blue, you'd think he'd have the sense the good Lord gave any fence post and realize he’s hemorrhaging the very people he needs. But instead, he’s declared war on the Holy See. It is the ultimate psychological surrender—a man so consumed by his own myth of omnipotence that he’s forgotten he lives in a world of consequences. At this point, to debate his 'fitness' is an exercise in futility; he has moved beyond the borders of rational behavior and into a space of pure, unadulterated madness. There is no remaining doubt: he is a complete and utter liability to the safety of the world, and he must be removed now!!!

What a great idea :)) but this can't be real because if it were, it would be straight up vandalism. But an amusing ad :) undotrump.org/?fbclid=IwdGRz…

If anyone is unclear about what SWEET IRONY looks like, here it is !!!!!!!
