Supreme Court of the United States TO the Citizens of the once great nation of The United States of America… screw you!
And with their EPA ruling today, they have said screw you to every human on the planet.
May God have mercy on our souls with this joke of a partisan court.
Just to get everyone on the same page the First Amendment to the US Constitution reads as follows:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Lauren Boebert, the POS Representative from Colorado’s 3rd District , recently made the following statement:
“The church is supposed to direct the government, the government is not supposed to direct the church.”
“I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk. This is not in the Constitution, it was in a stinking letter and it means nothing like what they say it does…”
For one of the many articles Continue reading “Hey Lauren Boebert, What about MY church?”
The subtitle of this book is: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think.
Read on for a link to the Factfulness quiz.
First a couple of confessions, this is not a book I would normally have read, and it is definitely not one I would have picked off a bookstore shelf. I have a few charities that I have on automatic pay, including the Fistula Foundation, a wonderful charity that does good work, and is well managed. I discovered this charity in an opinion piece by the former New York Times columnist, Nicholas Kristof. I do not remember the name, but an individual donated copies of this book to the Fistula Foundation along with the money to distribute them. Being a regular donor they sent me a copy. After reading the first few pages, I became very interested in the book.
My second confession may confound folks who know me as I am betting Continue reading “Factfulness by Hans Rosling”
A video of the “Sammy B” 4 miles down and a bit of the story of the discovery
Graphic video reenactment of the USS Samuel B Roberts last battle
This is a huge deal for my family. As readers of my blog may know this is the ship, USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413), that my Uncle Paul died on during WW II. He was the gunnery captain on aft 5 inch gun that blew up after the ship lost power and they were firing and loading manually. For his bravery in this action he received the Silver Star and for 30 years there was a missile frigate, the USS Paul Henry Carr (FFG-52) floating around the seas on various naval missions. Quite an honor for my uncle and for our family.
Here are some links to the stories on the finding of the shipwreck:
Explorers find USS Samuel B. Roberts shipwreck
World’s deepest shipwreck, the Sammy B, is discovered by explorers
BBC article: USS Samuel B Roberts: World’s deepest shipwreck discovered
In 2018 my Uncle Paul was inducted into the Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame. At the time I wrote a blog article about that experience:
Paul H. Carr inducted into the Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame
I am sure there will be more coming out on this discovery as the story just broke a few days ago.
And so it goes.
yeah I know you did not ask!
I am going to start selling burkas online. This item of dress is about to become de rigueur in this country.
I read the headline today about the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade and I had the same feeling I had seeing the planes crash into the Twin Towers in NYC. The world has gone absolutely mad and fanatics are in charge. I am sick in my stomach and sick in my soul.
IMHO every justice that voted for this should be charged as an accomplice for the death of every woman who dies from a back alley abortion.
I cannot think of time I have been more disgusted by the situation in this country. The religious zealots, gun nuts and white supremacist have gained control of this country I once loved.
I am absolutely disgusted with the Supreme Court of this country. Between expanding of gun rights, overturning Roe v. Wade and declaring money to be free speech in politics they have sent this country over the cliff. And the saddest part is that they are not “practicing” law but partisan politics. That is not the function of the Supreme Court.
I going to say it again… please Dear God, save us from the religious.
“Si del cielo se caen limones, aprende a hacer limonada.”
Or in English, “If lemons fall from the sky, learn how to make lemonade.” Obviously very similar to the common proverbial phrase here in the United States, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”, belaboring the point, an expression meant to promote optimism.
One of my iTalki Spanish tutors, Moisés, lives in El Salvador. He is an interesting gentleman, and our conversations flow easily and cover a wide array of subjects. He frequently speaks of his father Continue reading “Lemonade”
Eric Greitens is running for the United States Senate from the state of Missouri. He was briefly Governor of Missouri, but he was chased out of office. He resigned amid allegations of sexual assault and campaign finance impropriety. As the Washington Post put it:
“Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens left the state capitol in disgrace as he faced down two criminal charges, an ethics probe, and public fallout over reports that he’d had an affair with a hairdresser and then allegedly tried to blackmail her with nude photos.”
Somehow he managed to get much of that dismissed…
Just in case you do not know, RINO stands for Republican In Name Only aka Republican politicians that are not Trump supporters, that are not MAGA enough. The message of this video is abundantly clear, that MAGAs should hunt these folks down, and apparently with military grade weapons.
For the sake of me, I do know understand why this type of ad is legal, why any TV station would air it, and why YouTube does not take it down. IMHO, if one of these”RINOs” is murdered or even assaulted, Eric Greitens should be charged as an accomplice.
Please God No… Do not send Eric Greitens to the United States Senate.
Just for the record I did report this video to YouTube as promoting terrorism. I pray many folks follow suite.
Thank you YouTube to listening to many, many folks and taking this awful video down from your site.
