“It’s apparently very safe to write objective articles about Hogwarts Legacy now, without fear of cancellation. But let’s never forget the harassment that people were subjected to leading up to its release. People were literally fired from their jobs for being associated with the game or publicly stating that they were looking forward to it. Don’t let this get swept under the rug.”
“The media wants Twitter GONE, because of Elon Musk. Or something. And many, many articles are now being written about how Twitter is “dying” like Tumblr and LiveJournal before it. Meanwhile, Facebook is working on a Twitter competitor. No, ANOTHER Twitter competitor.”
I think it would be okay, if we actually saw any progress on that committee to restore falsely targeted accounts.
That would at least establish a good faith effort on the part of Elon, that he is serious about dealing with the mess created by past twitter admin.
If Elon keeps dragging his feet…If twitter keeps being run like this…If they keep ignoring, or even keep in place this critical problem of targeting and censoring…
…Then it will be no great loss, when twitter goes down in flames.
…It’s sad so many people conspire to fuck up a [once] really good thing…while so many other people don’t even give a shit, so long as it doesn’t infringe on them.
“Bill Gates is not a medical doctor, not a virologist, not a scientist and not even a college graduate, yet we as a society hang on his every word when it comes to proper response to a viral pandemic. Why? It probably has something to do with the millions of dollars he’s “donated” to the World Health Organization and otherwise spent to become a go-to mouthpiece for a range of financial interests, from food to vaccines.
Jimmy and guest Robert F. Kennedy jr. discuss how Gates made $500 million off of the COVID vaccines he was wildly promoting, then cashed out and started acknowleding that the vaccines aren’t actually all that great.
“A Republican state lawmaker in Kansas had an epic meltdown over a fourth grader drawing a rainbow as part of a school project, and the mother of the child is livid that the politician is using her daughter for political gain. The lawmaker, state Rep. Pat Proctor, claimed that the child’s drawing proves that the schools are pushing a “radical, woke agenda,” reading far more into the project than a normal human being should. Farron Cousins explains what happened.

A Republican lawmaker from the state of Kansas seems to have lost his marbles over the fact that a fourth grader drew a picture of a rainbow as part of a class project. It is Republican state representative Pat Proctor from the great state of Kansas, who in his February newsletter, included a piece of artwork from a fourth grader at David Brewer Elementary School and said that this rainbow that had a caption, our library is for everyone, is for every student, I’m sorry, our library, my school library is for every student is what the child wrote on that rainbow drawing. And this lawmaker attacked a fourth grader in his newsletter and said, this is part of a radical woke agenda, a fourth grader drawing, uh, a rainbow as elementary school students, uh, have been known to do. I know I’ve raised four of ’em. It’s just a thing kids do.
I did it as a kid. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s refracted light, Mr. Proctor. But this grown adult man lawmaker had an absolute hissy fit over a child’s drawing. And now, of course, because he put it in his newsletter, drew attention to it. Sure. He redacted the student’s name, but the mother of the child got that her daughter’s artwork was featured in. This made into an issue when it clearly wasn’t. And the lawmaker said, well, nobody would’ve known who it was if you hadn’t opened your mouth. All right, Mr. Proctor, here is what he said about the rainbow drawing. I find it impossible to believe that an entire grade of third graders and fourth graders all on their own decided to draw rainbow flags and talk about L G B T Q and spell those things out on their artwork. I find that impossible to believe that was not the assignment and that they were not coached to do that by the teacher. That’s just implausible in the extreme.
The the drawing said my school library is for every student. It, it, it didn’t say everybody in the community. It didn’t say, my library is L G B T Q Friendly, which honestly, even if it did wouldn’t be a problem. It just said, my library is for every student because they, they schools, I don’t know if you know this Mr. Proctor, but what schools like to do is encourage kids to read. So this was probably a project to help students understand that the library is always there for you. How my kid’s elementary school has a parent night, once a month at the library, you go with your kids, you check
Out books, they promote the hell out of the library because they want kids to read. Um, and that’s a Florida public school. And here we have a grown man throwing a child size temper tantrum because kids drew rainbows because that’s what they chose to draw on their fun pictures. You’re having a hissy fit over refracted light, which is what rainbow is. Rainbows are also mentioned in the Bible. In fact, according to the Bible, God sent the rainbow as a sign that, uh, you know, the, the floods are over. It’s a sign of peace almost. So maybe the kid was using the biblical allegory. Who knows? You certainly don’t. You just used it as an opportunity to attack what you call, again, radical woke agenda. And then you refuse to tell people what radical woke agenda actually means because you don’t know. You do know buzzwords. You do know about trying to make a controversy where none exists, and that’s exactly what you’ve done. And you’ve now put this poor fourth grade student directly in your crosshairs, you miserable. S o b.
“As expected, Capitol Rioters are trying to seize on Tucker Carlson’s selective editing of footage from January 6th, and they are having their lawyers file motions in court arguing that charges should be dismissed based on the footage. It is unlikely that any judges will be moved by the release of the footage, as it doesn’t contradict any of the actual evidence against these people. If anything, it may implicate more people in criminal activity, as Farron Cousins explains.

As pretty much everybody expected. Some of the lawyers for Capitol Riot defendants have now started to use Tucker Carlson’s selectively edited footage of the events of January 6th to try to argue not just that their clients are innocent, but some of them this past weekend went as far as filing motions to dismiss the cases against their Capitol rioting clients arguing that Tucker Carlson’s footage has somehow exonerated them. Now, on Sunday in one particular case, uh, prosecutors did fire back basically saying, this is the dumbest thing we’ve ever heard. But here is what’s happening. And, and it’s actually happening quite a bit right now with the, uh, the so-called Proud boys, folks that are awaiting trial. Their lawyers were the ones who tried to get it dismissed by arguing that recent footage of the so-called qan non shaman, Jacob Chanley, who by the way, did plead guilty and was sentenced to 41 months, but they said video of of Chanley walking around, not rioting at the time, shows that clearly he was innocent.
So all these other folks are innocent, so you gotta dismiss the cases. Now, the judge has not officially has of right this second ruled on whether or not he’s going to dismiss the case. Um, I have to imagine that no judge listening to that argument would dismiss the case based on those standards. In fact, that argument is actually so stupid. I’m almost shocked that the lawyers even made it in court. Here’s why. Say, let’s, let’s take a hypothetical here. Let’s assume you’re a defense attorney and your client has been accused of murdering three people and you have video footage of your client at birthday parties. You know, Eaton cake and singing happy be Happy birthday. You know, you’ve got pictures of them on vacation at the beach with their family. They’re happy, they’re not murdering anybody in the footage. So clearly my client can’t be a murderer because they’re not murdering in every video you see of them.
That is, that is the same argument that these lawyers for these accused Capitol Rio just made. Like, well, because there’s footage of them not capitol rioting. Clearly, the other evidence that shows them rioting is just, you gotta throw that out because look, here’s one, he went into a bathroom to relieve himself. That’s not illegal. Now, the problem here, and I love this, cuz again, I, I I, I have sympathy to a degree for these lawyers for the, uh, so-called capital rioters. You can’t call ’em that unless they’ve been convicted, by the way. But, uh, they don’t have much to work with, so they’re grasping at
Straws. So you’ve got the one argument that I already talked about. But, but here’s the other thing that I think they’ve forgotten about. By pointing to the footage that Tucker Carlson has, you see, their very presence in the building is criminal. It’s illegal for them to be in that building. It was illegal for them to be inside of the building that day. That is trespassing on federal property. That’s, you can’t, like, even that is something you can be prosecuted for. So how can you point to this footage and say, okay, well they’re not, you know, macing police officers in this footage, so clearly you gotta let ’em go. No, you actually don’t. If anything, you can end up charging more people that you didn’t know were in the building cuz you didn’t have footage in them, becau o of them because of what Tar Tucker Carlson is released.
Excuse me, that was a little tough to get out. But you see what I’m saying? Like, being in the building that day was what was illegal. All of the other things they did, you know, depending on the severity of the capitol, rioter are what led to different charges. But plenty of people were charged for simply being in that building. So arguing in any way that Tucker Carlson’s footage exonerates anybody, that’s stupid because if anything it implicates more people. And as I said over at Ring of Fire a couple days ago, I hope the DOJ flips this on its head and uses that footage that Carlson has released to charge more people with trespassing on federal property.
“On Friday, actress Jane Fonda made an ill-advised joke about “murder” and as the rest of The View panel predicted when she said it, Republicans picked it up and ran with it. Marjorie Taylor Greene went as far as to suggest that the program was calling for her assassination before launching into a disgusting tirade about Fonda herself. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

So in case you hadn’t been paying attention to what happened? Very late last week on Friday, uh, Jane Fonda, the actress, went on the view along with Lily Tomlin, and they were asked by co-host, uh, joy Bahar, like, Hey, outside of protesting, what can we do about all these anti-abortion laws? And Jane Fonda foolishly responded, well, I’ve thought of murder. Lilly Tomlin then said, wait, what did you say? And Jane Fonda smiled and said, murder Joy. Bahar then said, she’s kidding. She’s just kidding. They’ll pick up on that and just run with it. And yes, that is exactly what happened. So while that was very foolish of Jane Fonda, it also, if you look at the expression on her face, it was a joke, I think, but Marjorie Taylor Green didn’t think it was funny at all. And now Marjorie Taylor Green is out there over the weekend claiming that the view is trying to assassinate her, what she said on social media, UNAP, unapologetic, pro-life politician. Here, I routinely get death threats because of the nasty women on the view and the things they say about me. But calling for us to be assassinated makes the view, the host, the producers, the network, the advertisers and everyone involved responsible for death threats, attacks, and potential murders of pro-life politicians and activists. I am reporting this.
Okay? Um, so does that mean like when Fox News does a segment on abortion doctors and then that abortion doctor gets killed by a Bill O’Reilly fan, does that mean Bill O’Reilly’s responsible? Because I don’t see, I have never seen you actually call Fox News out for that. And yes, for the record, that is something that did happen many years ago. They called him Dr. Tiller, the Baby Killer. Are they actually named him by name? At least Jane Fonda didn’t say any politician’s name. Hell, she didn’t even mention a political party. Marjorie, you’re the one who self-identified as one of the people that are doing what Jane Fonda says is bad. So that’s on you. You did that to yourself and it got even worse. Marjorie Taylor Green continued, by the way, Jane Fonda, your eggs are dried up so you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant anytime soon so you can retire from demanding baby murder. Now, okay, scientifically speaking, Marjorie, that’s, that’s not what happens is that what you think happens inside your own body, that as you get older, all your leftover eggs just dry up and they just sit there dried up in you.
A a a woman is born with all of the eggs she is gonna have in her entire life. The body does not produce new eggs. All of the eggs she will ever have are inside of her.
When she goes through puberty and starts having her period, that’s when the eggs start going through the cycle. There comes a point in a woman’s life where she has no more eggs, typically, that is when menopause hits, the eggs are done, the body is done with the reproductive cycles according to the body itself. And, and then that’s what happens.
“The former Republican Speaker of the Ohio Statehouse along with the former GOP chair for the state of Ohio will be headed to prison soon after being found guilty of a massive public corruption scheme. The two men – Larry Householder and Matt Borges – worked with an energy company to funnel money in exchange for powerful positions where the men would then work to repeal certain regulations on the industry. Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Two very prominent, or at least formerly prominent Republican politicians and Republican leaders from the state of Ohio were convicted late last week on public corruption charges. The two men are former Ohio, speaker of the House, Larry Householder, and former Republican State Party Chair Matt Borges, these two men, according to, uh, what they were convicted of. Here it is, uh, from W C P O in Ohio. Prosecutors accused X G O P chair turn lobbyists, Borges, and householder, both of being part of a complex scheme to funnel nearly 61 million in dark money from Akron based first Energy Corps and its subsidiary to elect householder. As speaker solidify his power base, secure enough votes to pass a rate payer funded bailout of two nuclear plants, and ensure it survived a ballot campaign to overturn it. In other words, give us 61 million, you know, the Republican Party, which Borges was in charge of, who then became a lobbyist householder who wanted to be the speaker. Give us the money, we’ll secure the votes. We’ll run the public pressure campaign so it can’t be overturned on the ballot, and we’ll make sure that you get money in return.
Racketeering is what they got ’em on. Ricoh, which of course is usually reserved for organized crime. And in fact, uh, the prosecutors admitted basically that this was the first time throughout the country that racketeering charges have been successfully applied, secured a conviction against former elected officials. That’s pretty massive. It’s also gotta be pretty scary for Donald Trump because we know that the, uh, Georgia prosecutor, Fannie Willis had brought in Ricoh racketeering experts to, uh, help her craft her case. So this is sending shockwaves through the entire political world because they did something that hasn’t been done before. These two men, Borges in householder, held enormous power in the state of Ohio. I mean, to the point where they believed they could do this scheme and get away with it because they thought they were untouchable. As we’ve seen with far too many politicians today, they weren’t the jury deliberated for nine hours before coming back with the unanimous decision that these men are guilty. They now face up to 20 years of peace in prison based on the charges they were convicted of. The judge has not yet set a sentencing date for them, but he did tell them, uh, US district Judge Timothy Black, urged them to go home and quote, do
Productive things while they await sentencing from him. So you guys don’t have much time to be free men. So I suggest you go home and you get productive. You know, maybe take a look at that honey-do list before I send you off to prison, possibly for two decades. Maybe. Maybe read your kids a couple stories, because your greed and your arrogance is gonna prevent you from doing that until they’re grown adults, most likely. We’ll see what the sentencing is. Maybe they get, you know, just a couple years. Maybe they get the maximum of 20 years. But either way, the political ramifications of this successful prosecution cannot be understated. This is a massive win for the legal system and a massive blow to any politician out there. Current, former, or hopeful that if you mess up, there’s prosecutors in this country, good enough to take you down.
“Krystal and Saagar react to JD Vance and Bernie Sanders confronting executives on the failures to protect East Palestine residents in the aftermath of the Norfolk Southern train derailment.”
Actually, yes…the argument that newborns should not be marked down as any sex, is in fact a thing floating around out there…
…I’m not suggesting it is any official stance by the trans community…I’m just saying, I’ve encountered it before.
Some trans people refer to the boy or girl designation, as “being assigning a sex”.
I think this stance is extreme, myself…It’s taking something beneficial [or innocuous at worst], and acting as though it were some sort of inhumane attack against them.
There is extremism within that the trans community…even if there are a lot of good people in the trans community…Even if I agree with the humanity of trans people, and that they need to be protected.
It astonishes me that anyone would ever read malice, into the act of checking “boy” or “girl” on a birth certificate.
That is just a deep, deep disconnect from reality…and abandonment of common sense…
It’s a formality…Nobody is attacking you, or any community, when they recognize male or female genitalia.
Besides…the designation is important for your medical records…Male biology is not exactly the same as female biology…and they each have unique needs, and issues which typically crop up during a lifetime.
