You are sensing a difference, because we are at that point of neglect and disrepair, where everybody living under the immediate threat knows…that the floor is libel to collapse underneath us at any time…We are living with the effects of endless, chronic stress…
We know that systemic problems are understood, yet not being addressed…We know this has been going on for many decades…We know this places the majority of us in peril…and we witness people in place to do something about it, refusing…callously leaving us to “our fate”…as if this is something they intentionally want to inflict.
It is different, because it’s never been more clear…that the majority of us are victims of institutional depredation.
…Masses of the population are pissed off about this, making for a bad social atmosphere.
“You may be unaware of this, but Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez views herself as something of a victim, constantly the target of violent rhetoric from the right wing. It’s a form of what’s known as “stochastic terrorism,” she says, and as a result of the vitriol and rancor coming from her political opponents, she’s in constant danger.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this concept of stochastic terrorism and whether those on the Democratic side of the aisle could be similarly accused.”
I herd of this term a few months ago…Not sure how old it is.
“Donald Trump went completely off the rails with his “response” to the State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, declaring that he is a “victim” of the weaponization of the government, along with many other claims. Trump is trying to gain sympathy from the public, but this could backfire as he comes across as a whiny, petulant weirdo instead of a sincere victim. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

So there’s of course been a lot of chatter about the State of the Union address that happened on Tuesday evening. Now that we’re, you know, two days removed from that, the dust is settled. We’re finally starting to, you know, kind of get a feel for what was said. But one of the things I just have to talk about is Donald Trump’s response to it. And I’m not just talking about the truth. Social posts that Trump sent out, where he, he actually praised Biden and said like, he’s not stumbling, he’s not doing, he’s doing a good job. His wife looks beautiful tonight. It was weird. It was like somebody else took control of Donald Trump’s truth social, and he praised Biden actually during the speech. But after the speech, after the speech is when Donald Trump got angry and he sent out these posts on truth social.
Here’s the real state of the union. Over the past two years under Biden, millions and millions of illegal aliens from 160 different countries have stormed across our southern border. Drug cartels are now raking in billions of dollars from smuggling poison to kill our people and to kill our children. Savage killers, rapists and violent criminals are being released from jail to continue their crime wave. And under Biden, the murder rate has reached the highest in the history of our country. Before I continue, I think it’s worth pointing out that literally all of that is untrue. We have not had millions and millions and millions of people across the southern border from 160 different countries. We have actually seen a record number of apprehension of individuals on the most wanted list on the terrorist watch list. We are seizing record of mounts of drugs at the southern border because they’re actually doing their jobs.
That’s not a bad thing that they’re seizing this stuff and destroying it. Now to mention the fact that the murder rate is not even nowhere, anywhere near the highest it’s ever been in this country, murder rates overall, but believe it or not, I know you won’t know this. If you watch conservative media, they’re actually down, even in those big crime riddled cities that they love to talk about. New York City, Chicago, la murder rates are down. They’re actually down. Trump continued, and this is where things get a little weird. Joe Biden’s, weaponized justice department, and I’m a victim of it, is persecuting his political opponents. His administration is waging war on free speech. They’re trying to indoctrinate and mutilate our children. He’s leading us to the brink of World War iii and on top of all of that, he’s the most corrupt president in American history. And it’s not even close. Once again, every single thing he said is false right there. Joe Biden is not using the United States government to target his political enemies. Actually, Donald, that was you who did that, and we actually learned a little bit more about that this week with your contacts with Twitter, trying to get them to ban people who were
Critical of you. But this is where we’re at. Donald Trump is gonna play the victim. I mean, he clearly said, I’m a victim of it. Talking about the so-called weaponization of the federal government against conservatives. You’re not a victim of it. You’re just a guy who appears to have broken the law multiple different times in multiple different ways, and you’re being investigated for it.
“Robby Soave elaborates on a new study showing Covid-19 masks are not as efficacious in stopping the spread of viruses, like the novel coronavirus and other upper respiratory infections if not worn properly. He also points out the mainstream media’s unwillingness to report on this finding.
According to the CDC layered prevention strategies — like staying up to date on vaccines and wearing masks — can help prevent severe illness and reduce the potential for strain on the healthcare system. Wear a mask with the best fit, protection, and comfort for you.
If you are in an area with a high COVID-19 Community Level and are ages 2 or older, wear a well-fitting mask indoors in public.
If you are sick and need to be around others, or are caring for someone who has COVID-19, wear a mask.
If you are at increased risk for severe illness, or live with or spend time with someone at higher risk, speak to your healthcare provider about wearing a mask at medium COVID-19 Community Levels.”
“Matt Staver is the founder of Liberty Council, a right wing think tank that advises on legislation in the US. He thinks that children of gay parents shouldn’t be allowed to attend school with children who have straight parents. At least he forgot bi people exist I guess. This is one of the most twisted opinions I’ve covered in a while and this guy has some real power in the government.”
Has this guy ever questioned that he, himself is the one who is wrong?
People like him, are one of the reasons that kids in private religious schools need to be liberated…dare I say, rescued.
