“A new poll shows President Trump has lost support among his blue-collar base in the wake of his much criticized Helsinki news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The survey from Quinnipiac University shows a drop of eight percentage points among white voters without a college degree, compared to the organization’s last national poll.
In June, 57 percent of these voters approved of the president’s job performance, but that number now stands at 49 percent. Conversely, the number of those who disapprove has also increased, from 36 percent to 47 percent. Trump’s other key demographic — white men — saw a five-point dip in support from a 54 percent approval rating last month to 49 percent in the latest poll. Those who disapprove also grew by five points.
“Whether it is with love or not, President Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia has delivered a small blow to his already poor standing with the American people,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll.

“WASHINGTON—Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is planning to repeal an Obama-era rule that aimed to penalize for-profit colleges that leave their students with unreasonable debt and poor job prospects, according to people familiar with the plan.
The Obama administration drafted the rule, known as the “gainful employment” provision, to crack down on career-education schools, many of which operate as for-profits, if students graduate without meaningful job opportunities and with debts they cannot pay off.
This post simply marks the nine year anniversary of my Twitter account!
Twitter [and it’s many communities] has been a substantive source of content for Our Love Frontier, over the years…and I thank Twitter, for being upstanding enough to allow for this bounty of information, inspiration, wisdom and expression.
One more year, and it’s a whole decade on Twitter!
The older I get…the more I’m experiencing these big anniversaries…even as I garner a lot more consistent eyes and attention [many of them hostile]…
…It may not seem like much…but internet culture has definitely shifted, over the last few decades…Stubborn persistence is finally paying off…MAPs have solid standing, on the internet…at least in some popular arenas.
“President Donald Trump waded into the controversy surrounding Twitter Inc.’s so-called shadow banning of some Republicans, which has been accused of limiting their visibility in search results on the social media giant’s platform.
“Twitter ‘SHADOW BANNING’ prominent Republicans. Not good. We will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once! Many complaints,” Trump said Thursday in a Twitter posting.
Twitter shares slipped 3.2 percent, to $42.79 in early trading in New York.
According to a report Wednesday by Vice News, Twitter is restricting the visibility of Republicans including Republican Party Chairman Ronna McDaniel and GOP members of Congress in an attempt to improve political debate on its service. Democrats haven’t been “shadow banned,” the website reported.
A Twitter spokesman said in a statement Thursday that the company doesn’t engage in shadow banning. “We are aware that some accounts are not automatically populating in our search box, and shipping a change to address this. The profiles, Tweets and discussions about these accounts do appear when you search for them.”
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey responded to the report in a tweet Wednesday. “We have a lot more work to do to earn people’s trust on how we work,” he said.
This is an acknowledgement of something, which some of us have known for a long, long time…
…The right wing camp is getting “shadow banned”, outright banned, or otherwise punished more for their behavior…because they have a much higher concentration of malicious [and over all dumb] sociopaths amongst them.
Today is my nine year anniversary on Twitter…and in most of a decade…I cannot even tell you, just how many times I’ve witnessed right wing people harassing, threatening [even violently…like, murder, rape and other forms of physical assault], doxing…I’ve seen some insanely sick things come out of these people, either directed at another MAP or myself…or both…often part of an extended campaign of harassment, and attempts at terrorism [tormenting their victim]…
These behaviors do not simply violate Twitters terms of service [and community code of conduct]…they are top tier violations, of the most serious form…They are extreme behaviors, on a social network platform…
…On a platform like Twitter…you don’t typically get any worse than this [other than those who also attempt/succeed following through, offline].
It is not even up for debate…that people engaged in this behavior are in violation of Twitters terms of service, nor that Twitter is fully justified in taking action against them for it.
…But, my goodness…all the people who are discovered crying, whining, complaining, lashing out at Twitter [and more fiercely still, at MAPs], after they received a banning or a “time out”, over their indefensible behavior?…
…It’s as if these brain dead idiots, are oblivious to what they’ve just brazenly done…They’re in absolute, total denial over it.
…They somehow seem to believe, that Twitters rules against harassment, threats, smearing, doxing and the like, do not apply to them…
…or that pointing out that the target of their malicious [often times obsessive, sick and demented] behavior “is a pedophile”, inexplicably resolves them of all responsibility for what they just did to another human being, on Twitter’s platform.
Hell…in their warped minds, they think they should be rewarded for behaving like that…and then become shocked and outraged, when just the opposite predictably happens to them.
In general…the right wing tends to be a lot more abusive, and cross the line [aka, violate the rules] a lot more often…Which explains why they have such high frequencies of getting banned, or otherwise limited, on a platform.
We MAPs have been trying to explain to these sorts of idiots on Twitter, just how it is that a MAP can openly be present and function on Twitter for years [most of a decade, in my case], when they get outraged over discovering us on Twitter…as if there were ever some kind of rule outright banning racial, sexual or ideological groups…
…They have such a hard time wrapping their mind around the fact…that Twitter’s terms of service and community standards, are designed to crack down on malicious [or illegal] behavior…and that when a MAP does not engage in malicious [or illegal] behavior on Twitter, they are not going to be banned from Twitter, or otherwise punished as though they had violated the terms of service.
My own longevity on Twitter, despite countless exchanges with these sorts of douche bags, can absolutely be attributed to the fact that I scrupulously abide by Twitters terms of service, and community standards.
…Since I’m a civilized, sophisticated, refined and decent human being…this just comes naturally to me…So, I fit in at Twitter quite marvelously.
We MAPs are not “protected” on Twitter, by Jack or anybody else…
We MAPs exist in the exact same Twitter environment, under the exact same Twitter rules, as everybody else on Twitter…
We MAPs tend to be far more mindful of our behavior, especially because of the unfair, hyper scrutiny placed upon us…and a history, of suffering extreme discrimination.
“Just how much dirt does Michael Cohen have on Donald Trump?
President Donald Trump’s troubles with his former lawyer Michael Cohen took a potentially damaging twist Thursday when the attorney representing the porn star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against Trump alleged that multiple other women had been paid off by Trump or his allies and suggested Trump may even have covered up a pregnancy.
Donald Trump conspired with Michael Cohen to pay off multiple other women prior to Election Day in 2016,” the lawyer Michael Avenatti tweeted . “They were also concerned about a pregnancy. Cohen has evidence and info in his possession and it must be released to the public.”
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is suing Trump to release her from an agreement in which she was paid to keep quiet about an affair she says she had with Trump in 2006. Cohen’s legal team this week released recordings Cohen had kept in which he and Trump appeared to discuss whether to pay for the rights to the story of another woman who said she had an affair with Trump; the National Enquirer had already purchased those rights. Trump has denied both having affairs with either of those women.
01) Live Prayer Hour: Using Prayer Against the Satanic Holiday
“Join me and my brothers and sisters in prayer and discussion to fight the dark forces in high places using spiritual warfare. Today our mission is to armor up and destroy the outcome one of the most deadly and depraved ritual abuse holidays on the satanic calendar. The Grand Climax is a period between July 20th and July 27 where kidnappings, torture, sexual abuse and sacrifice are all used to gain power from the adversary and the demonic realm. This is also taking place during the Blood Moon, so we really need to band together and pray for children and victims that fall prey to those who seek to destroy God’s creation in the name of lust, power, money and fame.”
More character witness type stuff…It speaks for itself…
So much of this stuff is just parents murdering, sometimes also raping, their own children.
“Ped*s are trying to mainstream and call themselves “virtuous.” With a new name and flag, they’ve tried to attach themselves to the Pride movement. Are we just being too harsh on them, or are they really as predatory as we think?”
Oh, how cute!…She pretends that she’s going to be at all fair, in her video description…Her actual diatribe is starkly different, however.
Here we have another person [it’s worth noting, a conservative] who has been duped by the “MAP flag”, and the recent rumor of “MAPs joining the LGBT”…
Had Roaming Millennial cared to do any research on this at all…we MAPs are fairly easy to find, and garner some insight from…but, apparently…no…
Pity…she could have spared herself the embarrassment, of displaying her own lack of integrity…One might imagine, she’d care more about such a thing…
I’m just going to point out a few things here…
1) Todd Nickerson has nothing to do with the “MAP flag”, nor the alleged “push to join the LGBT”.
In fact…Todd is amongst those of us, who were debunking and rejecting this myth.
…So, why is Roaming Millennial even including him in this video, and attempting to tie him into all of this?
An honest person would have looked into Todd, and would already know…this is not something he would even get behind.
2) The “MAP flag” is not a ratified symbol, of the larger MAP community.
The original source of this “MAP flag” is quite shrouded, and unclear.
There has been no established, long term presence of any MAP group, promoting and endorsing this “MAP flag”.
Nobody has reached out to the larger MAP community, with even so much as news of this “MAP flag”.
Many of us MAPs first learned of this alleged “MAP flag”, when it started turning up in the conservative rumor mill.
Potentially…there is an individual…or a small group of MAPs, who designed this to use as a symbol…in which case, this is their symbol…not a symbol adopted by the wider MAP community.
03) The MAP community has been plagued with agents of chaos.
From the bizarre “CLover Genders”, to “Heart Progress”…to “MAP’s joining the LGBT”…
…There has been a consistent push by bad actors from 4chan, to troll and cause havoc…exploiting the MAP community [and other minorities] as a catalyst to outrage the far right, and other gullible groups.
Presumably…they are attempting to start a war, amongst several groups…and they’re trying to work up the paranoid far right, into a rabid frenzy.
4) Established MAPs with a long track record, could have explained this.
If Roaming Millennial had bothered to approach us, and survey the MAPs she encountered…we could have informed her that this was a hoax, and that there is no plot for MAPs to join the LGBT…Most of us find such a notion to be ludicrous.
The LGBT has deep problems within it, which makes it incompatible with the MAP community.
5) “MAP” [Minor Attracted Person] is not “a rebranding”, nor is it new.
“MAP” primarily came out of the research and therapy fields, out of discussions with us MAPs on how best to accomplish research and therapy involving us.
It was not initially meant to be a widespread term.
“MAP” encompasses all demographics, who are sexually attracted to those deemed by the law to be “minors”…This includes nepiophiles, pedophiles, hebephiles and ephebophiles…While there can be cross over, each is a fairly distinct orientation in it’s own right.
“MAP” was meant to be judgement neutral…because being part of any of these demographics, does not mean that you’ve ever done anything illegal or unethical. It only means that you have a certain type of sexual attraction.
Most people of conscience do not believe that it’s right, to persecute or punish people who’ve neither violated a law, nor done something unethical…nor for immutable characteristics, placed upon an individual by nature.
Most people of conscience, agree that we have a right to our own personal essence…to what biologically makes us who we are…so long as we are objectively harming nobody else…This includes our thoughts and expressions…and our associations…
What Else?
Roaming Millennial seems to believe, that a MAP is doing something abhorrent, by not trotting themselves right straight to a therapist, or other form of social handler, and submitting to a lifetime of monitoring…testing…surveillance…”medical” bills…dangerous drugging?…and other assorted hardships and imposed handicaps…
…Further, she imagines we are not entitled to the thoughts and fantasies in our own heads?…and this is especially odious to her, apparently.
This girl is an inhumane tyrant, if she believes such a thing even can be, or should be, imposed.
She speaks of all these things…as if she possessed the authoritative standing, to make such proclamations…including all the hogwash, about “joining the LGBT”…
So…Why do we never allow people like Roaming Millennial to represent us?
…In a nutshell…it is because people like her will be spreading absurd [or malicious] stories about us, just like she is doing here…based on absolutely nothing more than rumor, and their own off the charts paranoia.
People like this lack either the internal capacity, or the ethical integrity [or both], to be able to discuss MAPs, and MAP issues, in a humane, respectful and honest manner.
They are incapable of saying anything authoritative, having any bearing on us MAPs…What they offer, is null and void on arrival.
The earth shattering irony, which is almost guaranteed to be lost on people like Roaming Millennial…is that it is the arrogant, demeaning, dehumanizing, dishonest behavior on display in this video…and being subjected to this sort of thing all of a MAPs life [decades for many of us]…which has prompted us MAPs to no longer tolerate being bashed and intimidated into silence…while people like her, hijack our identities…our minds…our voices…our very existence, as human beings…
…Our lives belong to us…as do our voices, and our identities…
We MAPs, are amongst the strongest…most sacrificing, giving and suffering of humans, to ever live…
…Shame on all, who would dare sully our character.

01) Alt-Right Troll Gets Guardians Of The Galaxy Director Fired
“Media companies need to be aware of who Mike Cernovich is. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down.
Last Friday, the Walt Disney Company abruptly severed its professional relationship with writer-director James Gunn. Gunn’s third movie for the company, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, was to start production this fall; his first two Guardians films (sorry, “volumes”) grossed a combined $1.6 billion for Disney. So this was no small thing — the termination, for cause, of a central asset of the most successful movie franchise in the world. What ended Gunn’s gig was not his job performance, but his pre–Marvel Universe status as a fringe director, internet asshole, and provocateur. His time at Disney expired due to bad tweets, now the second leading cause of Hollywood career death, behind only sexual misconduct. The tweets — an endless, gross, “indefensible,” in the company’s words, litany of sick jokes about pedophilia — were not entirely fresh news. They, along with entries on a blog Gunn eventually took down, had been the subject of online discussion for quite some time. If the studio didn’t know about them already, the reason can only be that it simply wasn’t paying attention. (The studio’s statement dismissing Gunn did not address the question of how long those in charge have known about his tweets.)”
“The latest target is Georgia Republican Jason Spencer. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down.
“In a shocking segment from Sunday night’s episode of his Showtime series, Who Is America?, Sacha Baron Cohen convinces Jason Spencer, a Georgia Republican state representative, to repeatedly shout the “n-word,” use an ethnic slur against Arabs and drop his pants to “intimidate ISIS.”
During the prank, Cohen plays the character Erran Morad, an Israeli antiterrorism expert who teaches Spencer how to avoid a terrorist kidnapping. “You have three seconds to attract attention,” the satirist says, adding, “In America, there is one forbidden word. It is the ‘n-word’.” Spencer then begins screaming the racial slur as Cohen apprehends him with a finger gun.
In another shocking moment, Spencer plays along as Cohen details a technique for identifying a terrorist wearing a burqa by using a selfie stick and photographing the person’s genitals. As a practice distraction technique, the lawmaker affects a sterotypical Asian accent and shouts random words – “sushi,” “chopstick” – to convince bystanders that he’s a “Chinese tourist.” Later, he pulls down his pants and runs backwards into the actor while screaming “America!” – a demonstration of how to “intimidate ISIS” with the threat of homosexuality
