That's too late now. Had he been a prick for 2 months and made his point, then yeah maybe. But he took this WAY beyond just protest into reducing Military readiness and threatening some officers careers. He aint fixing nuthing. |

I don't need to solicit Home Depot. If you are still willing to donate to a convicted criminal, then you don't deserve my money.

We know that trans athlete's is such a great problem in schools (to the idiot right), that law makers in red states have passed or trying to pass banning trans in sports. BTW, none of these lawmakers can point to a specific case they know of.
Here are some statistics. The estimate is some 100 athletes at a college level (probably less) and something like 50 in K through 12. Guess how many more Cis girls there are in sports?
Like back in June 2023 when some attending grandparents, full on Fox idiocy, wanted to stop a track meet in Kelowna, demanding that someone inspect a 9 year old student to make sure she was not a boy. You know, normal shit.
In fact, you are more likely to get hit by lighting and attacked by a shark (possibly at the same time) than come across a trans athlete in K through 12.
It is a moral panic about something most people don't ever come across and it is perfect for GOP. That means they don't have to do anything hard and they can bank on the brain rot on the right. Because honestly, why try harder.

Biden has done a lot of good things, such as the infrastructure bill and his support for labor. Even Ukraine. But his biggest blunder has been Israel. I mean on so many levels. Not only for his subservience and taking the back seat to mass slaughter with mostly US munitions, but also actively denying what is plain for anyone with either eyes or ears. We also now find out that Bibi has been taking shit about Biden, even tho Biden provides an almost slobbering support for what Israel is doing without a word to the fact that so many of Israel's government or political sphere is outspoken in their ethnic cleansing.
The silence about this is absolutely mind boggling. Sure, he have had a few meandering speeches about it, mostly to press his lips closers to Bibis ass, but he has also been dismissive of concerns, both withing the Federal government and that of voters. Pissing on young adults for feeling the way they do about it has always been the goto staple, but it is a HUGE reason behind D success in several elections now. And it is a massive mistake to assume voters can't be turned off by the BS simply because Trump is so uniquely awful.
This Eyes Wide Shut syndrome has been so inarticulate unsavvy that you wonder where the experienced smartman went and when old crankhouse 'get off my lawn' flailing happened.
Obama on his had have been pretty clear what he things. He express support for Israel but not on the condition of allowing Israel get away with genocide. That was true during Obamas 2 terms but also as post presidency. Biden could learn a thing or two about fighting a good cause even if everyone is not entirely onboard yet.
Biden is not alone here. The slobbering devotion from all major Western democracies have been pretty cringe. And since they're more interested in trying to stay on message, they refuse to admit that shit has gone sideways. Even after the information about how systematic Israel has been in destroying infrastructure and target civilians.
I mean what fucking strategy? Is there one. Israel has none. They see this as an opportunity of displacing all of Gaza (again, their outspoken goal by Israeli officials so not a poll of a bunch of rando's), but has since realized that there's no support for such savagery. Not even among Israelis. This has also unglued support for normalization in the region.
Providing Israel with all the guns they can need, while repeating IDF propaganda wholecloth, isn't a good strategy. There are so many ways USA can swing a bigger stick here, since Israel need us more then we need them.

Sen John Kennedy, put on his thickest accent and most ponderous face, when he asked a gun crime expert why Chicago has become the largest outdoor shooting range.
Personally I would never ask a question as a fact if I didn't have the data, but why try harder is probably GOPs goto answer since they know that this is for the soundbites on Fox and News Max where they will promptly edit out context or answer, so people don't know better. They know their viewers are incurious idiots.
John Kennedy continued - do you think it is because of lawful gunowners that use it for protection or hunting or a finite group of criminals with rap sheets as long as king kongs arm.
Again - if you are going to suggest an answer with limited options you better know your data. And again, this is for the soundbites. It is possible that kennedy knows the data and is just saying these dumb things, or that he's a complete idiot and believe these things. A better debater would have the data to wrap his corn poon southern drawl around, but that's not GOP. GOP always imagine the problem to fit the narrative, over confidently argue things based on data.
Would it then come as a surprise that Chicago wasn't an open shooting range and that actual read state cities are worse?
Shudder the thought.
Or as the expert, who came armed with the data shows that the 3 reddest states, such as Mississippi, Louisiana and Missouri has much higher gun death rate. And when she explained the actual data that if you take care of depressed areas such as South Chicago, such as moving lawns, clear green areas, fix houses, it also lower gun related incidents and the kind of pressure than comes from places like that, in relation to crime.
John Kennedy's response - after firing off the king kongs forearm wordsmithing - No disrespect doc, but that sounds like word salad to me.
That is the intellectual capacity on the right. They honestly don't care about the data. This is just about collecting those valuable soundbites so they can get invited on Fox and deliver more BS. They have no interest in actual policy, no interest in fixing the issue, and will scream and whimper when they're the target of violence. Remember the guy who shot up House GOP members practicing for baseball? He was a 'bernie leftist' and eventho all of D's came out in support of their colleagues, the right immediately started smearing all of D's as if they part of the crime.
But an actual discussion about a problem - and coming up with solution?
That sounds like word salad to me.

We on the other hand have tons of options - Ace, Lowes, Menards and other local stores. There's a Lowe's almost literally around the block from my house on the other side of the railroad tracks. The closest main road has an overpass. Kinda wish there was a pedestrian bridge from my house to Lowe's because it's that close. |

As we noted the other day, Elon Gate (massive brain) is now on the pizzagate idiot arch. Their logic is this. The claim is that one of the journalists that exposed the pizzagate nonsense is not in jail for child porn. Except that he probably had nothing to do with it. But whatever. Their logic is this.
If one side expose something, but is exposed for something similar (hypocrisy) then the one thing they exposed is actually true. So if journalists show that pizzagate was cooked up by complete morons, and if someone in Media does something icky, then it shows that the original BS that we know is 100 percent BS, is somehow true.
This of course didn't add a basement to the Pizza place. This didn't suddenly expose a room full of children. Or that the guy storming the pizza place waving a gun was 100 percent wrong and not only exposed how fucking dangerous QAnon are, but how the movement itself has exposed so many pedofiles among their ranks and that Trump is a very questionable hero to bank on given his proclivities to cringy behavior around minors - including his own daughter.

File this under the grift must continue. In the wokest season of all, Hannity has grown tired of all the wokeness and is now apparently launching an anti woke Holiday movie. Naturally hiring the best talents and stuff. With such talents like Julia Roberts twin brother, Eric Roberts. In the last movie I aw him in, he was so drunk he could barely read his lines.
The movie is called Jingle Smells. The trailer is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Just reading the synopsis of the movie gives you the idea just how ham fistedly shitty this is. Almost as shitty as the Daily Wires anti trans movie. It is almost like the idiot right don't understand comedy.
There is always an endless amount of billionaire money for shit like this. At least it does keep a bunch of rightwingers who can't act employed. Who said the right didn't get socialism.

Kinda wish there was a pedestrian bridge from my house to Lowe's because it's that close. Lowe's bought Canadian brand Rona and then shut down the one near me, deeming it redundant. So now I can do Home Depot or go about halfway to downtown. |

BTW, just to make it obviously clear. There is no Hamas in the West Bank. Mostly because the Palestinian Authority (that operates the West Bank) are on bad terms with Hamas. The same Hamas that after the election in Gaza where they won with a slim majority helped by Bibi money (because Bibi wanted to stop a united political entity in Gaza and in the West Bank), thew officials of the Palestinian Authority off roof tops. So you can see why there's little chance for Hamas to operate in West Bank.
So it might come a surprise then that Israel is now raiding the West Bank again. Not just with murderous settlers trying to steal land, but this time with IDF.
Also, IDF is blocking aid groups from entering 3 Major hospitals in the west bank, as IDF is now raiding hospitals. That is a war crime. There's no thin gruel of a 'COMMAND BASE' story behind it. They're just doing it because everyone is so focused on the spit and a handshake of exchanging hostages. So IDF figured they can continue their BS without complaints.
And we know just how IDF really hearts children since they go on and on about how Hamas killed children. So it'll come as a surprise then that there is video of unarmed children, such as a 9 year old boy that IDF decided to execute. I guess they have to eliminate those dangerous human shields before they shield someone. Makes sense to me if I was a psychopath.
And that is why we need to ban anyone saying anything mean about Israel. We simply cannot abide by Democratic free speech norms in the Western world and of course the greatest democracy of all, Israel. Because words hurt.

With a bit more work, they'd be able to find 20 million Nazis in the West Bank These few years have brought some surprising realizations about how terrible our Media is. We were told Russia has a large competent army and they had modernized for a decade. Israel has one of the best intelligence services and is the only and best Democracy in Middle East. Having heard and listened to so many Israeli officials, it is in such odds to the actual words from Israelis and Jews all over the word. Not only because there are so many amazing Jewish scientists, comedians and writers and how willing they are to fight their own government. Compare that to the deep lunacy of the rightwing government, the corruption and incompetence. A IDF that always seems to be surprised by what several outspoken terrorist groups will do and a non existing intelligence service. I remember the original Bourne Identity movie from 1988 where he was this super agent trained by Mossad. I had in the back of my mind the imagine of Mossad as a peoples intelligence service that always had boots on the ground. And then I compare that with the world we live in today and how much is shaped by some of the dumbest people in Media. And how our view of so much happening in Middle East is shaped not by the best information, but rather the shittiest misinformation. An how cowed we are into believing this because of collective guilt of the Holocaust. We simply accepted that Israel is in an existential fight due to the many conflicts in the region and our romanticized idea of Israel I will sad knowing that for a while I also fell for that BS. |
