I've heard so many times now by IDF apologists, in gruesome detail what Hamas did to civilians, particularly children and babies. And it is barbaric. No question about it. It is inexcusable.
But, before this happened, this year. IDF/settlers had murdered 34 children on the West Bank. Have we heard endlessly about that? We barely hear today about children dying in Gaza, skin burned off by white phosphorous, or crushed by houses. Where IDF pilots are deliberately using precision bombs on residential housing.
34 children on the West Bank alone. Sure, there will be some sociopaths that will excuse even that. Obviously all of them were dangerous bloodthirsty killers. Obviously.
And while it is not explained nearly enough that much of what happened when Hamas bulldozed the barriers, was the fact that Bibi had pulled back IDF from Gaza in order to protect the illegal landgrab happening on the West Bank.
But anyways. I'm sure the prolifers can find a perfect explanation why one life is worth more then another.

Wasn't really a fan, but still gotta recognize Suzanne Somers' impact on 70s & 80s pop culture. RIP.

And ironically, while Boebert rail against the legislation she voted against she has also taken the credit for it whenever she tout the money she rail against. I think this is super savvy. Remind people who actually helped them. This is what he should do, state by state. Any projects these assholes brags about, remind people who made it happen. Democrats.

This is what red states are becoming and what they want to do to the rest of the country. Pro life? No. Pro birth, but fuck if they care if the baby survive.

With just over a year to go until the 2024 elections, Republicans are beginning to realize that the abortion issue won't just go away. The GOP has faced a political quandary ever since Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, the 2022 Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, opened the door to abortion bans, which red states started to enact immediately. On one hand, abortion bans are wildly unpopular, and have only gotten more so as we hear horror stories about women being seriously injured or forced to carry dying babies to term. On the other hand, Republicans don't want to just give up on their long-standing dream of using forced childbirth to punish women for having sex.
To square this impossible circle, Republicans have relied on their favorite strategy: Relentless dishonesty. Lots of pseudo-compassionate noises about women's pain, while insisting that their sadistic impulses are "pro-life." They pretend to support hypothetical exceptions to abortion bans, which for the most part do not apply in actual reality. They make weak attempts to rebrand their agenda as "pro-baby." They feign support for contraception access while supporting organizations that actively work to demolish viable birth control.
That is, most Republicans most of the time are on board with the lying-through-our-teeth strategy. But not all! Meet New Jersey state Sen. Edward Durr, a truck driver-turned-politician who has a habit of saying the quiet parts out loud.
"A woman does have a choice! Keep her legs closed," Durr wrote in a 2020 Facebook post, in which he also called a pro-choice woman an "idiot." He also "liked" a post that called for "spaying women like dogs."
Democrats in New Jersey are pouring a lot of money into making sure that voters know about these Facebook comments. One Democratic PAC spent more than $500,000 on a TV ad tying Durr to other New Jersey Republicans by name. Another sent out a mailer highlighting his comments.
They're not wrong. Some people - such as Trump, has no filter. The cowards that lament the issue of abortion, don't care if women die due to lack of access, but rather that it polls so poorly. All of them would be screaming it to the high heavens if it polled semi well in red states. So that is why they lie about their positions and Media lets them off the hook right away.

Oh yeah, random memory that came up over the weekend.
So my Jr High French teacher had previously been a local musically-talented model and so had been able to land the gig of singing the French version of the Canadian National Anthem during the 88 Calgary Winter Olympics. Well, as she's singing, a female streaker (well, topless) decides she wants the attention of the camera and spends the entire anthem dancing in front of my teacher's camera. The producers were able to switch off the camera but the streaker had no idea and my teacher finished the anthem so the audio was fine so it wasn't known by the viewers but the streaker was there for the entire anthem. Outdoors. In February
She had to be treated for frostbite to a pair of sensitive areas....

Judge Chutkan hits Trump with gag order U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday issued a limited gag order preventing former President Donald Trump from attacking special counsel Jack Smith, his family, court staff or possible witnesses. Chutkan's ruling came after an hours-long hearing, with Trump attorney John Lauro arguing that the order was unnecessary. "It's possible to craft a narrowly tailored order to serve those interests," she explained. "Without this restriction, there's a risk witnesses can be intimidated."Anyone violating the order would be subject to court sanctions as "necessary," she said. www.rawstory.com/trump-gag-order-2665980318/Any guess on number of days before the menace violates the order?

Y'know, say what you will - and there's a lot you can say - about what happened with the Speakership last week, but boy does it really just put a glaring spotlight on how fucking terrible McCarthy's operation was back in January.

Israelis continue to tell people to leave the northern part. When they do, they get bombed. They have so far hit 3 convoys of evacuees killing 70. Anyways. Our cowardly politicians continue to green light the war crimes and our Media keep telling their employees to not to talk about it.

In the past the nominee tried to use political savvy to negotiate for the speakership ahead of a vote. Like McCarthy did and gave away his office in 14 failed attempts.
Jim Jordan is telling the idiot locust to flood the hold outs with angry calls.
that is what they're about.

Journalists are being killed in Gaza.
One of Reuters recently died, and Reuters themselves reported - Reuter journalist killed by a missile coming from the direction of Israel.
Their own journalists treated as if the ones who killed him is a fucking mystery.

His only contribution to congress so far. Not one single piece of legislation. He's not a legislator. He's a scumbag with a paycheck that does nothing for his district. Unless you're rich. And I thought Kevin McCarthy was weak. Just wait if Jim Jordan wins the speakership.

Oh yeah, saw The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard and gotta say.... how the fuck was Salma Hayek listed like 18th in the credits list?
I wish I was joking. It wasn't even an "and also" or anything, she was in the middle of the credits after we were deep into the list of secondary characters. I mean, sure, the first movie that make some sense as she was only slightly more than a cameo but in this one, she's one of the main characters. So fucking stupid.
