I'm not a religious person. I also don't normally speak ill of a famous/infamous person who just has died. But in the case of Carolyn Bryant Donham, I'm willing to make an exception.

One of those moment in history that will not be forgotten, and may be part of the view that the 1950s was the decade when such acts, along with the momentum MLK gave the Civil Rights movement, led to the legally pivotal 1960s. The tragedy has been the attempt to reverse those gains.Quote:

"In a disturbing yet not exactly surprising move, Republicans in the Texas statehouse have taken the first steps toward passing three bills that inject religion into public schools. One requires public schools to display “in a conspicuous place” the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Another measure will allow schools to require prayer and Bible reading time each school day for students and employees who give their consent to participate.A third bill would ensure school employees the right to “engage in religious speech or prayer while on duty.”"

It's another reminder that people can do the most appalling things if their social environment permits or even rewards it. People take too much for granted the social fabric that keeps us civilised.Quote:

What is the law on human trafficking in the US? Epstein was convicted of it, a celebrated member of HA some years ago was accused of it, yet if De Santis does it, he isn't arrested -why not? Because it seems to me this is human trafficking, and I assume it is still illegal in the US, regardless of the origins of the humans being trafficked.

It's actually an RNC requirement that candidates commit to supporting the eventual nominee. It will be interesting to see how they get such a commitment from Trump.Quote:

Joe Rogan is an antivaxxer. He is not just asking questions any more than someone obsessed with the construction of gas chamber doors at Auschwitz is simply interested in carpentry. That should be obvious to all of his moron fans, many of whom are harassing Peter Hotez, an eminent doctor who fights infectious disease in developing countries and has saved countless lives. He received a death threat today which is supported by thousands of conspiracy nuts and other subliterate cousin fuckers on twitter. These ignoramuses are absolutely making this country unliveable.
And guess who else weighed in? https://www.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk...183306569.html
It's the standard strategy:
1. Make claims based on spurious evidence
2. Demand that experts spend time debating said claims
3. If they do, refuse to accept what they say
4. If they don't, claim that they have some motive for ignoring the issue
Its a disingenuous performance because the people who claim to be only seeking answers could easily find them if they bothered to do a bit of googling.
Thanks for the Lincoln Project videos which I had not seen before. But this is the problem with anyone who makes bombastic claims about themselves when they don't have the ability to support them, indeed, because of their inherent weakness, are easily exposed.Quote:

Truth does matter.
The facts of the case are stark -Johnson came onto national tv to tell us, more than once, to stay at home, to limit social interactions, to wear masks in public, when he and his staff in No 10 Downing St, and at Conservative Party HQ were mocking the very same instructions. That so much has been exposed has caused immense damage to the image of the Conservative Party, but I believe there is even more damaging material to come, not least in the Covid Enquiry that began in London this week.
Add in some of the rulings in States like Alabama that have prevented the implementation of bans on the medical treatment of 'Trans Kids', and the attempt to disbar John Eastman in California (he wanted to call as an 'expert witness' on election fraud, an accountant with no election experience [!]); and one can at least see that all is not lost, that the lunatics have not taken over the asylum.

"Lake — a former news anchor who lost her bid for Arizona governor and, like Trump, claimed that the election was rigged against her — spent a significant portion of her time at Mar-a-Lago during its open season, the source tells PEOPLE. (In the summer months, the property generally clears out and even Trump heads to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.)
"Kari Lake is there every night ... She’s there all the time," the source tells PEOPLE. "There’s a suite there that she practically lives in."

As explained in this post, the allegation of a government-private censorship conspiracy seem to be based on misrepresentation of publicly-available reports and quoting statements out of context.

I read this and am almost speechless. What on earth has happened to the US and gun crime? You Americans may need a second Revolution to transition away from this pathological need to address every problem with a loaded gun. It's not about the man punching the woman, her son shooting the older man in the back -twice. It's the mere fact that you people are walking around with guns in your pockets, and using them. You mean there was no alternative to the situation than murder? Madness.

Pronouns causing panic. Pronouns becoming the weapons of war in a war nobody can win. But little focus on the actuality of language, as in people spending so much time talking about wood they forget the trees. Hence the potential for the Archbishop of York to ignite a curious war of panic over the Almighty-
"“I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have laboured rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life,” he said."
Lord’s Prayer opening may be ‘problematic’, says archbishop (msn.com)
(Is the Archbishop dressed as a man in the photo, or does his wearing of silly hats and gowns act as signifiers of something that dare not tell is its name?)
Will the Telegraph go berserk? Not sure. But is God a Man? Or, Is God a Bloke, a Geezer, a Guy, or just a 'Dude'?
