                <description><![CDATA[  Jan. 29, 2024   al Jizzerror Fake News  <br>
   Vincent Kennedy McMahon  was recently implicated in grotesque sex scandal involving allegations of trafficking and engaging in fecal sex play.  I guess mud wrestling isn't dirty enough for Vince so he replaced the mud with poop.  McMahon, like his friend Donald Trump, is a liar who claims he 's a self-made man.  Butt, like The donald, Vince stole his daddy's business.  <br>
  <br>
  McMahon graduated from  East Carolina University  with a degree in business in 1968, and began his tenure in professional wrestling as a commentator for WWE (then called the World Wide Wrestling Federation or WWWF) for most of the 1970s.   He bought the company from his father,  Vincent J. McMahon , in 1982.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_McMahon <br>
  The fans of professional wrestling consists chiefly of ignorant red necks who are extremely gullible.  Many of them don't know that pro wrestling is just choreographed  pretend wrestling.   The WWE fans are like MAGATs.   <br>
    WWE shows are not legitimate contests but entertainment-based performance theater, featuring  storyline -driven,  scripted      , and partially choreographed matches  ; however, matches often include moves that can put performers at risk of injury, even death, if not performed correctly. The pre-determined aspect of professional wrestling was publicly acknowledged by WWE's owner Vince McMahon in 1989 in order to avoid taxes from athletic commissions. WWE brands its product as   sports entertainment  , acknowledging professional wrestling's roots in competitive sport and dramatic theater.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_McMahon  <br>
  The "matches" are scripted (NOT competitive).  You cannot place sports bets on WWE events.  Donald Trump realized that the ignorant WWE fans are just like the members of his cult.  So he buddied up with Vince and Linda McMahon who became huge contributors to his campaign.  Trump made Linda McMahon his Secretary of Education because she opposes public education.  <br>
   Trump shaved McMahon's head in the ring.  <br>
  McMahon has changed pro wrestling.  The televised "matches" show very little fake wrestling, instead it is focused on the "bad guys" screaming about the "good guys" and shit talking.  So, naturally, Trump joined in.  <br>
  Many of you are wondering why I hate pro wrestling.  I was a REAL wrestler.  I wrestled in high school and college.  Later, when I was a bartender, a big loudmouthed pro wrestler was bragging about being a wrestler.  I finally confronted him and said, "Are you a professional wrestler?"  When he said, "Yes" I laughed at him and said, "That means you're a bad actor." <br>
  He was fucking furious.  He said, "I guess you wrestled in college.  Big fucking deal.  I played football."  He outweighed me by about 100 pounds. <br>
  He challenged me to wrestle him and he went to the middle of the dance floor.  As I stepped on the dance floor I said, "I don't dance, asshole."  Predictably, he charged straight at me.  I used a spinning whizzer to plant his face into the hard floor, then I dragged the semiconscious dickhead to the exit and kicked him in the ass as I threw him out. <br>
  I received a standing ovation so I bowed and high fived everyone.  The so-called wrestler never showed his face again.  <br>

<br><br>
  Jan, 27, 2024  al Jizzerror Fake News  - Joe Biden has been working with the Senate to pass a bipartisan immigration reform bill to deal with the border crisis. The donald does not want Congress to deal with the border crisis because he wants to use it as an issue in the 2024 campaign. The ReTrumplicans don’t care about what is good for the country, they are only interested in what is good for their party. So Trump wants Mike Johnson to block immigration reform in the House. <br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  The donald said, "Mike Jackson is a great Speaker of the House.  He still pretends I won the election in 2020 and he is opposed to women's rights.  And Mike will make sure that the border will continue to be a disaster so I can blame it on Joe Biden." <br><br>

  What do generals really think about the prospect of a Trump dicktatershit? <br>
  <br>
  Trump is an existential threat.  The donald is also a fucking traitor. <br>
  Okay, I know what the TDS* crowd will say (*TDS = Trump Dick Suckers).  They will cum to Trump's defense and claim that some generals support Trump's re-election.  That may be true.  There is one general (a traitor who received a presidential pardon) who still loves The donald.  This is a photo of General Flynn having dinner with Trump's boss: <br>

  So who the fuck wants Trump to have the launch codes for our nuclear weapons? <br>

    <br>
  DeSantis was once considered to be the heir apparent to The Donald.  Butt, unfortunately, as the voters began to see more of DeSantis, they realized that he was just a homophobic Trump wannabe. <br>
  DeSantis will probably become Trump's running mate.  Not because Trump needs an attack dog butt because Trump loves a good ass licker. <br>

  DeSantis once said he would "make America Florida."  That's fucking scary!  <br>

                <description><![CDATA[  Neanderthals in popular culture <br><br>
  Neanderthals   have been depicted in   popular culture   since the early 20th century. Early depictions conveyed and perpetuated notions of proverbially crude, low-browed   cavemen  ; since the latter part of the 20th century, some depictions have modeled more sympathetic reconstructions of the   genus      Homo    in the   Middle Paleolithic   era.   [1]    [2]      In popular idiom, people sometimes use the word "Neanderthal" as an       insult       - to suggest that a person so designated combines a deficiency in intelligence and a tendency to use brute force. The term may also imply that a person is old-fashioned or attached to outdated ideas,   much in the same way as the terms "  dinosaur  " or   "Yahoo"  .   <br>
  Origins <br><br>
  Arthur Keith   of Britain and   Marcellin Boule   of France, were both senior members of their respective national paleontological institutes and among the most eminent paleoanthropologists of the early 20th century. Both men argued that this "primitive" Neanderthal could not be a direct ancestor of modern man. As a result, the museum's copy of the almost complete Neanderthal fossil of   La Chapelle-aux-Saints   was inaccurately mounted in an exaggerated crooked pose with a deformed and heavily curved spine and legs buckled.   Boule commissioned the first illustrations of Neanderthal where he was characterized as a hairy gorilla-like figure with opposable toes,   based on a skeleton that was already distorted with arthritis.   [7]    [8]    [9]    [10]    [11]  <br>
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthals_in_popular_culture<br>
 <br>
  <br>
   Does MTG have "Neanderthal" toes?  <br>
  This Neanderthal is on exhibit at the Museum of Confluences in Lyon, France. It depicts a Neanderthal woman that somehow looks familiar. <br>
  <br>
  Please don't drag Neanderthals down to the level of Marjorie Taylor Greene. It's pretty rude to compare a fairly advanced and intelligent hominid species to the likes of MTG. <br>
  I would like to thank E John for sending me the above exhibit.  He wants someone to hack MTG's account to make it her profile picture. <br>

  Sarah Palin Advocates Civil War <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  August 25, 2023  (  al Jizzerror Fake News  )  - Sarah Palin apparently wants to be Trump’s running mate. I hope she “helps” The Donald as much as she “helped” John McCain. <br>
  Is Palin trying to impress Trump by advocating violence, or is she actually trying to destroy the United States? <br>
  Palin tried to make "veiled threats" so let's peek under her fucking veil. <br>
   Sarah Palin Calls For Trump Supporters To 'Rise Up' Over Arrest, Alludes To 'Civil War'  <br><br>
  Although it’s typical for a person accused of a felony to be arrested, Newsmax host Eric Bolling felt compelled to ask Palin if Trump’s arrest was proof of a two-tiered justice system. <br>
  Palin responded to the Republican red meat with gusto: “I mean, I think those who are conducting this travesty and creating this two-tier system of justice, I want to ask them: What the heck?   Do you want us to be in civil war? Because that’s what’s going to happen.” <br>
  Palin vowed that “we’re not going to keep putting up with this,” and praised Bolling for suggesting that “we need to get angry.” <br>
  She added:   “We do need to rise up and take our country back.” <br>
  Palin then griped that the Republican National Committee has “the funds” and “the platform” to stoke “collective anger” over the indictments, but that “they’re too timid, and a bunch of frickin’ RINOs [Republicans in name only] running the thing.” <br>
  She warned that the RNC “better get their stuff together, or I have to ask them, too:   What do they want as an outcome of this,      civil war?”  <br>
 https://news.yahoo.com/sarah-palin-calls-trump-supporters-210525664.html<br><br>
 <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
   <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  “She’s coming with a full heart and a full magazine.” <br>
  I think we all know what Sarah Palin is really “full of”. <br>
  Heres' the REAL joke: <br>

                <description><![CDATA[  Ron DeSantis Declared War on Mexico at Debate <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  After pretending to be a Navy SEAL in Iraq early in the debate,   Ron “Combat” DeSantis said he would send US armed forces into Mexico on “DAY ONE” of his administration to deal with the Mexican cartels.   <br>
   It is illegal to use the US military as law enforcement personnel and, of course, the US has no jurisdiction to make arrests in Mexico.  <br>
  Some of the other Republicans on the stage advocated using diplomacy (with both China and Mexico) to deal with the fentanyl problem. DeSantis was the only one who advocated an invasion of Mexico. He also said anyone who crosses our border would end up “stone cold dead.” Is it me, or does that seem to be a slightly aggressive immigration policy? <br>

                <description><![CDATA[   Trump Asked AI for Debate Strategy  <br>
  August 21, 2023 ( al Jizzerror Fake News ) <br>
  Former President Donald Trump sought advice from a super computer on tonight’s Republican presidential debate. <br>
  Many people wonder why Trump has decided to skip the debate. If Trump is actually “a stable genius”shouldn’t he be able to win a political debate? <br>
  The Donald’s decision was based on artificial intelligence. <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  So rather than skip the debate, The Donald will participate in another media event in an attempt to distract his cult followers from seeing debate. Therefore, Trump will allow Fucker Carlson to fellate his tiny mushroom on television during the debate. <br>

                <description><![CDATA[   Elon Musk is afraid of Mark Zuckerberg  <br>
  Aug. 14, 2023  (alJizzerror Fake News)  - Elon Musk pretends to be a tough guy but he is actually a fucking wuzz. He probably thought he could intimidate Mark Zuckerberg but it didn’t work. Zuck accepted the challenge so Musk is backing down. <br>
  What could have been the “nerd fight of the century” probably isn’t going to happen. <br>
 <br>
   Mark Zuckerberg says 'it's time to move on' from Elon Musk cage fight  <br>
 CNN Business<br>
  Mark Zuckerberg says Elon Musk “isn’t serious” about a cage fight and “it’s time to move on” from their proposed showdown, the details of which were never nailed down. <br>
  “Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead,” the Meta chief executive    wrote on social platform Threads        Sunday. <br>
  “If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.” <br>
 <br>
  So, what do you think?  Will the evil billionaires ever actually fight?  If they do fight, who do you think will win?  Is Elon Musk the whitest guy in history? <br>

  Vaccine politics may be to blame for GOP excess deaths, study finds  <br><br>

<br><br>
<br><br>
  The Yale study adds to a growing body of research indicating that Republican messaging on vaccines and other public health measures such as mask-wearing, limiting crowds and social distancing may have led to preventable deaths. <br>
  Last year, a    study        from researchers at the University of Maryland and University of California at Irvine published in Health Affairs concluded that Republican-majority counties experienced nearly 73 additional deaths per 100,000 people relative to majority Democratic counties through October 2021. The study suggested that vaccine uptake accounted for only 10 percent of the Republican-Democrat gap in deaths. <br>
  The release of the Yale study comes as the vaccine rollout and policies under President Biden have faced criticism by some Republicans, including members of the Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. <br>
  In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) pushed the rollout of vaccines early in the pandemic. But as he prepared to mount a bid for the Republican presidential nomination,   DeSantis displayed        increased       hostility toward vaccines, petitioning for a state grand jury to investigate supposed wrongdoing related to vaccines. Florida’s health department even issued a “health alert” on mRNA vaccine safety, which drew   sharp rebukes      .  <br>
  Public health officials fear   mixed messaging       on coronavirus vaccines by Republicans is shaping attitudes toward the vaccine in dangerous ways. <br>
  In a nationwide survey    published        in March by the University of South Florida, only 49 percent of Republicans said they were “very” or “somewhat confident” that coronavirus vaccines are safe, contrasted with 88 percent of Democrats. Stephen R. Neely, a professor at USF’s School of Public Affairs who conducted the survey, said the Yale study was important because it highlighted how sharply partisanship over coronavirus vaccine safety and efficacy has led to unnecessary deaths. <br>
  “It’s one of the most telling metrics I’ve seen in how the politicization of the pandemic has played out in the real world,” Neely said.   <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br>
   Aug 1, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News)  - The high rate of stupid anti-vaxxers within the ReTrumplican party has resulted in a higher rate of COVID deaths.  People who die because of their own stupidity are eligible for "Darwin Awards."  These dead ReTrumplicans will not be eligible to vote in the 2024 election.  Their stupidity should help insure that Joe Biden (who urged  all  Americans to get vaccinated) will be re-elected. <br>
  Donald Trump also contributed to the higher rate of Republican COVID deaths.  Trump held rallies during the pandemic.  Most of the MAGAs in attendance did not wear masks and they were not "social distancing".  The Trump "super spreader" rallies, and even gatherings at the Trump White House, helped spread COVID.  Trump and many members of his staff contracted COVID. <br>

   Rhonda Santis is Channeling Rick Santorum  <br>
   July 29, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News)  - Have you noticed that Rhonda Santis is pretending to be masculine? Rhonda isn’t in the closet with Lindsey Graham. She’s in Rick Santorum’s closet. Apparently DeSantis loves Santorum’s sexy sweater vests. <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  Desantis is so impressed with Santorum’s macho sweater vests that he has his own gay monogramed “jacket vest.” <br>

 Twitter Is Going Nuts Over Donald Trump's Awkward Kiss With a Republican Woman Who Is Not Named Melania<br><br>
  Kristyn Burtt <br><br>
 Fri, July 21, 2023, 3:09 PM EDT<br><br>
 Twitter is going nuts after a six-second video clip surfaced of Donald Trump giving  someone other than his wife , Melania Trump, a kiss. The woman is a face who is very familiar to the Republican Party and the inner circle of the former president: Kari Lake.<br>
<br> Lake, who reportedly was hanging around Mar-a-Lago quite a bit in hopes of being named  Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate , was at an event at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club. In the video, he’s surrounded by his voter base and a sea of smartphones that are recording his every move. That’s when Donald Trump leans in and Lake’s face suddenly appears as they give each other a rather awkward kiss and his lips land high on her cheekbone. The former news journalist made a “muah” sound as they exchanged their friendly affection, and she smiled as he backed away.<br>
<br><br>
 https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-going-nuts-over-donald-190941153.html?soc_src=social-sh&amp;soc_trk=ma<br>
  Melanoma is probably glad that The Donald has a new pornstar, oops, I meant "slut".  <br>
  Kari Lake and Trump love to sit around naked and lie to each other.  Trump likes to deny his election loss and pretend to be the smartest person on the planet.  Kari Lake likes to deny her election loss and pretend to be beautiful. <br>
  Trump has spent thousands of dollars on Viagra, Cialis and Spanish Fly.  Unfortunately, Trump still suffers from erection denial and there are still flies in the Lake. <br>

  The Lionhead Rabbit Invasion <br>
   Feral rabbits are considered Florida’s new “invasive species”.  <br>
  In the suburbs of Fort Lauderdale, there’s a new “invasive species” to contend with in a state all too familiar with the destructive habits of non-native animals. The small community of Wilton Manors is trying to contend with the bunnies who are rapidly multiplying. They are digging holes, invading gardens and even chewing on outdoor wiring. And, of course, they are pooping everywhere. The city commission voted in April to exterminate the visitors after receiving an $8,000 estimate from a trapping company, but that has not happened yet. Perhaps another invasive species, Burmese Pythons, can help with the bunny infestation. <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  In a related story, Wilton Manors has become a major source of raisins. <br>
  Most people underestimate how dangerous rabbits can be. <br>

What was the real reason DeSantis fired roughly a dozen staffers?<br>
It was done to avoid a major sex scandal in his campaign.<br>
July 16, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News) - An anonymous source within the Tallahassee police department has provided new information about the shakeup in the DeSantis campaign staff.<br>
Dixon Cox, a veteran vice detective, said the department was investigating a male escort service that was suspected of participating in underage prostitution. They recorded a call requesting a dozen “boys” for a party at a local hotel. When they raided the party they found about a dozen naked middle age men enjoying an orgy. Apparently, the boys didn’t arrive at the party because their van was involved in an accident.<br>
Detective Cox said, “When we entered the hotel room we discovered naked men, condoms, lube, marijuana, and lots of booze. Since the men were consenting adults, no arrests were made. I understand that DeSantis was hiding in the closet (as usual).”<br>
The DeSantis campaign refused to answer our request for a comment.<br>

  DeSantis May Deport Lionel Messi <br>
   July 16, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News)  - Lionel Messi is the world’s best soccer player and he is coming to the United States. Unfortunately he signed with Inter Miami. The homophobic governor of Floriduh famously hates immigrants. He recently realized that Lionel Messi is from Argentina. Then DeSantis saw this poster and he freaked out. <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  DeSantis said, “What’s with all of the gay pink shit? That’s Two strikes against him! One more and he’s out! I’ll deport him back to whatever shit hole he came from.” <br>
  A staffer quickly informed DeSantis that Messi is the highest paid soccer player in the world. DeSantis said, “Well, he better make a big campaign contribution if he wants to stay.  We don't need homosexual immigrants in Florida." <br>

                <description><![CDATA[  Freedumb Caucus feud just got even more ridiculous <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
   Two weeks after its members voted to oust Greene, it's not clear whether the vote was even successful.  <br>
  The Freedom Caucus is infamous for holding a gun to the head of the American economy. But eventually they had to eat what caucus member Chip Roy, R-Texas,   called       “a turd-sandwich.” <br>
  Marjorie Taylor Greene cozied up to Speaker McCarthy to gain clout within the GOP. So when McCarthy decided to pull back from the brink in order to contain the political fallout from his party’s recklessness, MTG supported him. So the Freedumb Caucus decided to kick MTG out of their cult. But it’s still not clear if she’s really out. <br>
  The Freedumb Caucus rose out of the ashes of the Tea Party idiots (like Ron DeSantis, Jim Jordan, Mick Mulvaney and Mark Meadows). Their goal was to destroy the federal government. When Trump lost in 2020, they once again returned to their obstructionist roots. They use threats (even against their own party) to extract concessions. But even the threat of a government shutdown and a default on the debt didn’t bully McCarthy into more concessions. <br>
  MTG actually had the testicles to vote to raise the debt ceiling (OMG!) to avoid default. Somehow the Freedumb Caucus seems totally impotent now. They can’t control the Speaker even though they changed to rules to facilitate his removal. <br>

  Twitter Users Notice Something Weird In Resurfaced Ron DeSantis Beach Pic <br><br>
 <br><br>
   A campaign photo from 2015 is making waves because of one bizarre little detail  <br><br>

<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
  However, eagle-eyed people managed to find the original photo from    a Flickr account called “DeSantis for Senate”        and noticed something weird about it: Neither DeSantis nor his wife left footprints in the sand. <br>

   July 4, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News)    - Many people found it odd that Ron DeSantis and his wife could walk on a beach and leave no footprints. I found the first photo interesting because of the caption; “CASEY DESANTIS: A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND HONOR”. <br>
  It’s interesting because I didn’t know Casey DeSantis is a “MAN”. I didn’t realize DeSantis is in a same sex marriage. So why is Rhonda Santis so fucking homophobic? <br>

<br><br>
  Ron DeSantis is determined to run to the right of The Donald.  He is now featuring the most homophobic video in political history.  While trying to (inaccurately) portray Trump as "pro-LGBTQ, DeSantis is indicating that he is the most homophobic candidate. <br><br>
 <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  Opinion | The Ron DeSantis video all but calls for eliminating trans people <br><br>
 <br><br>
   DeSantis' presidential campaign reposted a video likening him to the character of "American Psycho" — and thought that was a good thing  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 The Republican Party has   revved up its anti-LGBTQ agenda       in recent years, mostly under the banner of a backlash against trans rights and new trans-inspired gender norms. On Thursday, that renewed animosity appeared to kick into an even higher gear when   Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign reposted a video       that all but called for the extermination of trans people.<br><br>
<br><br>
  The vile video reflects DeSantis’ campaign strategy — staking out a lane to the right of former President Donald Trump on major culture war issues. It’s unclear if there are any limits on what he’ll do in order to claim that territory. <br>
  While a dark, thumping beat throbs in the background, the video celebrates DeSantis’ zealotry by quoting headlines and clips of pundits criticizing DeSantis, referring to him signing the “most extreme slate of anti-trans laws in modern history” and producing some of the “harshest, most draconian laws that literally threaten trans existence.” <br>
  Interspersed among these clips are images of men presumably intended to convey DeSantis’ persona, which include: Christian Bale in the film “American Psycho,” in which he plays an unfeeling sociopath who murders homeless people; Brad Pitt as the warrior Achilles in the film “Troy”; Leonardo DiCaprio as a cocaine-addled, wife-beating Wall Street fraudster in “Wolf of Wall Street”; and the    GigaChad meme       , a photoshopped depiction of an imperious-looking ultra-muscular man originally associated with incel forums. <br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
  As some have observed, the funny thing about this video is that stylistically it’s sort of camp, and the emphasis on muscular men alongside a techno beat that could plausibly be heard at a gay club gives it a homoerotic vibe. Chasten Buttigieg, the husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, responded to the video by    tweeting       : “This is actually very gay. <br>

<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  Maybe DeSantis is still trying to recover his masculinity after all of the go-go boots memes.  Or maybe he didn't like it when we called him "Rhonda".  Personally, I thought Rhonda looked pretty in her thigh high go-go boots. <br>

 Melania Trump Just Released a New Financial Venture That Landed Multiple A-Listers in Legal Trouble<br><br>
 It seems that Donald Trump’s wife Melania Trump is about to dip her toes back into another financial venture. But this isn’t something like a firm or a fashion line, because this venture has landed so many in legal trouble (and didn’t end great for Melaina the first time she tried this)!

  July 3, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News) - Melanoma posted on Truth Social that she’s released a new NFT collection titled  “Yearning to Breathe Free.”  NFT stands for a “not-fucking tangible”. <br>
  I haven’t seen her “Yearning to Breathe Free” collection but I assume it’s a series of close-ups of her vagina. It’s Melanoma’s “art”. <br>
  “Back in early 2022, she released a Head of State Collection fashion-based NFT drop that earned around $170,000 at auction. However, eagle-eyed online users noticed some disparities, and claimed that either Melania or someone from her team was the winning bid, and they speculate that they did this to inflate the price of their assets, per    The Chainsaw       .” - from Yahoo <br>

   July 3, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News)  - It appears that the Rednecks on SCOTUS have decided to infringe on LGBTQ rights based on a fake case. The Christian web designer has never designed web pages for weddings and she did not receive a request from a gay man to create a page for his wedding. The case is almost as bogus as the six “conservatives” on the Supreme Court. <br>

  The Supreme Court traditionally protected civil rights.  The present members of SCOTUS are removing those protections.  <br><br>

                <description><![CDATA[  Utah Blanketed by Pink Snow for Pride Day <br>
   June 17, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News)  - The plentiful snow pack in Utah has turned pink.  It is purely coincidental that it happened on "Pride Day". Scientists say it’s the result of a green algae bloom that thrives in snow. The algae is called, “ Chlamydomonas ”. The pink snow is often called “watermelon snow.”  Some members of the LGBTQ community are calling it "rainbow snow". <br>
  A Local sheriff in Utah, Red Neckerson is warning Utah residents to avoid contact with the “gay snow”. He claims that the snow will infect people with Chlamydia (a common STD) that he claims turns people gay. Sheriff Neckerson has contacted the military to secure flame throwers for his deputies to eradicate the gay snow. When questioned about the possibility of sparking forest fires, Neckerson said, I’m sure the good people of Utah would rather burn than become homosexuals. <br>
  Naturally, Rhonda DeSatan, the homophobic governor of Florida, has asked the Florida legislature to pass a preemptive law to outlaw pink snow in Florida. DeSatan said, “the snow in Utah was originally white but it has  transitioned  to become pink. We cannot permit that to happen here because the “pink trans snow" will groom our children and turn them into mutants. <br>

<br><br>

<br><br>
<br><br>
  June 17, 2023  (al Jizzerror Fake News)  - Nazi protestors visited Disney World to show their displeasure for a liberal mouse. They also enjoyed the opportunity to yell racist epithets at people going into Disney World. They chanted things like, “Mickey Mouse Is a fucking Jewish N-word!” and “Jewish mice will not replace us!” The Nazis seemed to enjoy being offensive. They chanted shit like “Mickey Mouse is a fag and Minnie is a dyke!” <br>
  One car that was full of young people stopped to listen to the Nazis. They were smoking weed and started laughing at the Nazis. They began to yell stuff back at the Nazis. They yelled, “Hitler sucked Himmler!” and “Nazis lost the war!” and “Hitler was a gay midget!” This infuriated the Nazis. One of them kicked the Mercedes (Hitler’s favorite car) that the liberals were in. The idiot appeared to break his foot. <br>
  Nazis also have a political agenda. They have decided to support the candidate who reminds them of Hitler, so they like Ron DeSantis. <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  Has DeSantis said anything negative about Nazis? <br>
  Are there are very fine people on both sides of swastikas? <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  It's heartwarming that DeSantis has such a dedicated group of individuals who support him so fervently.  ]]></description>

  Transphobic “America First” Anti-Immigrant Beer Drinkers Make Modelo America’s #1 Beer <br>
  June 16, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News)   - Bud Light was the most popular beer in the US for over twenty Years.   That all changed because they sent one specially marked beer to a transgender influencer   (Dylan Mulvaney). <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  Kid Rock and his redneck buddies fear that if they continue drinking bud light, their dicks will fall off and they will turn into extremely ugly women. So now they’re drinking Mexican beer for penis protection. <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  Modelo has a unique brewing process that employs “suicide yeast”. The fermentation is allowed to continue until the yeast dies from the alcohol it produces. Because the alcohol content is too high the last stage of brewing Modelo involves their unique dilution process. <br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
  Local volunteers assist in the dilution of Modelo which gives it its distinctive flavor. I guess Kid Rock and his fellow transphobic rednecks would rather drink pee than drink their former favorite beer. <br>

 Trump Names A Baffling New Enemy In Latest Unhinged All-Caps Rant<br><br>
  Ed Mazza <br><br>

 <br><br>
<br><br>
  Donald Trump  has found another enemy, and this one might be his most mysterious choice of villain yet.<br>
 The former president fired off an all-caps post on his  flailing  Truth Social website attacking many of his usual suspects, including “the radical left” and “marxists &amp; communists.”<br>
 But this rant also included a new target: Mutants.<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
Donald Trump vs. Mutants<br><br>
<br><br>
 Trump has a longtime habit of demonizing just about any person or group for even mild criticism.<br>
 But even so, it’s not clear who or what he meant by “mutants.  <br>
  <br>
  I stand with the mutants! <br>

                <description><![CDATA[    Is Social Media Making Us "Attention Whores”?   <br>
   Do you like it when your content generates lots of views?  Do lots of supportive comments make you feel good?  Do you frequently check your tracker       to determine your popularity?  Do you look at the "Trending Articles In Forum" list to see if you are in the top five?  If you answered “yes” to these questions, then you may be an “ attention whore ”.  <br>
   On the other hand, are you making any money on Social Media?  If you ARE making money here, then you are definitely an attention whore.  But if, like me, you are NOT making any money here, then you are just an “  attention slut  ”.  Making money on your  content  makes you a " pro " (as in  pro stitute).  If you only make a  little bit of money, then you are a " cheap attention whore".     <br>
  <br>
  If you manage to rip off your fans for tons of money then you're Donald Fucking Trump.   <br>
  <br>
  <br>
  Trump swag isn't the only thing Trump is making money on. <br>
  The Donald is also selling government documents. <br>
  <br>
  And, of course, he raised lots of money for a non-existent fund. <br>
  <br>
  Anyone who contributed to Trump's fake fund was unknowingly agreeing to make  weekly  contributions <br>
 Trump’s Campaign Bilked His Fans Out of Millions Because of Course It Did<br><br>
<br><br>
  By     Jonathan Chait  ,  who’s been a New York political columnist since 2011.  <br><br>
<br><br>
 Donald Trump may be a man with a very limited set of talents, but he has learned to apply those talents to masterful effect. His talent is to employ shameless lies to create an image of himself in the media, and then use that media to bilk people.<br>
 Typically, a grifter runs up against the limits of public knowledge: Once he is exposed, it becomes progressively more difficult to find new marks. But here is where Trump’s particular genius exceeds all who came before him, and allowed him to operate his scam on a world-historical scale. Trump has always attracted so much media that any particular exposé of his crooked deeds is overwhelmed by the cacophony.<br>
 Shane Goldmacher reports at the New York  Times  that Trump’s campaign  bilked donors out of tens of millions of dollars . The scam was not complicated. When people gave them money online, the donations came with pre-checked boxes authorizing the campaign to take donations  every single week . They needed to uncheck the box to stop the automatic transfer.<br>
 At first the auto-checked box simply said, “Make this a recurring monthly donation.” Then it added, “Make this a recurring weekly donation until 11/3,” with a second box below it, with even more text, authorizing an additional one-time $100 donation on September 29.<br>
 Ultimately, the messages included two text-heavy boxes, filled with boldfaced, all-caps slogans, with a much less conspicuous line at the bottom informing whoever had made it through this mini op-ed that they were authorizing the campaign to drain their bank account. <br>

                <description><![CDATA[   Can Republicans Solve the Fake Debt Ceiling Crisis They Created?  <br>
   May 27, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News)  - Kevin McCarthy and his fellow Retrumplicans decided to make the debt ceiling a political football in order to blame it on President Biden. These are the same assholes who rubber stamped three debt ceiling increases when Trump was president with no strings attached. <br>
  The idiotic Retrumplicans may even follow the advice of their fearful leader, The Donald, to default on the debt (which is unconstitutional). Sure this enormously ridiculous move would damage the value of the dollar and plunge the economy into a severe recession, but they don’t give a shit as long as they can blame Biden. Retrumplicans always prioritize their party over the country. <br>
  Kevin McCarthy has managed to put himself on political thin ice. The knuckle draggers in the so called “freedumb caucus” always favor stupid shit, so if McCarthy backs down on the bullshit debt ceiling crisis, he could become the former speaker of the House of Reprehensibles. That would be the most amusing outcome of McCarthy’s bullshit debt ceiling crisis. <br>

  May 24, 2023 (al Jizzerror Fake News) - Rhonda InSantis will join farces with Elon Musk to try to steal the Republican nomination away from The Donald. They have decided to collude to rig the Republican nomination process against Trump. Naturally, Elon Musk is claiming that he is NOT actually endorsing InSantis. Musk wants to maintain plausible deniability in case Trump wins. Like most Republicans, Musk is afraid of Trump. But, WTF, how can Trump make a nickname to ridicule Elon Musk? Elon Musk already has a ridiculous name. <br>
  Rhonda InSantis has declared “war on woke.” He is campaigning against woke colleges, woke teachers, woke Democrats, woke corporations and anyone who owns an alarm clock. InSantis also hates the LGBTQ community because he is a latent homosexual. Rhonda's infamous war on Disney is a perfect example of hypocrisy. Traditionally Republicans are very corporate friendly. InSantis claims to be in favor of freedom of speech. But, when Disney criticized his “don’t say gay” bullshit, Rhonda decided to seize control of Disney World. Didn’t the Supreme Court say corporations are people and they’re entitled to free speech? Oh, my bad… they said MONEY is free speech, so corporations can make unlimited donations to Republican candidates. <br>

                <description><![CDATA[  2,000 Children were Molested by the Catholick Clergy in Illinois <br>
  May 25 (al Jizzerror Fake News) - Pedophile Priests are a Catholick tradition. Covering up to protect the perverts is also a fucking Catholick tradition. The man who used to be responsible for the cover-up was even elected Pope. <br>
  “Ratzinger's 2001 letter    De delictis gravioribus        clarified the confidentiality of internal church investigations, as defined in the 1962 document    Crimen sollicitationis       , into accusations made against priests of certain crimes, including    sexual abuse       . This became a subject of controversy during the    sex abuse cases       . For 20 years, Ratzinger had been the man in charge of enforcing the document.” - Wikipedia <br>
  Ratzinger became the first Nazi Pope - Pope Benedict XVI. He was also the first Pope in centuries to resign. After he resigned, Pope Benedict traveled the world to give children the opportunity to suck the Popesickle. <br>
  While Pope, Benedict travelled to Africa to address the HIV pandemic there. He infamously told Africans that condoms   cause   AIDS. <br>
  What are some possible solutions the Catholicks could employ to deal with their pedophile Priests? They can’t be crucified because, of course, Jesus. Maybe they can be canonized using real cannons. Maybe the Catholick Church could conduct public beheadings (the "little heads" - castrations) using tiny guillotines. We should probably leave it to the Catholick Church since they did so much cool research during the Inquisition.  ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[  2,000 Children were Molested by the Catholick Clergy in Illinois <br>
  May 25 (al Jizzerror Fake News) - Pedophile Priests are a Catholick tradition. Covering up to protect the perverts is also a fucking Catholick tradition. The man who used to be responsible for the cover-up was even elected Pope. <br>
  “Ratzinger's 2001 letter    De delictis gravioribus        clarified the confidentiality of internal church investigations, as defined in the 1962 document    Crimen sollicitationis       , into accusations made against priests of certain crimes, including    sexual abuse       . This became a subject of controversy during the    sex abuse cases       . For 20 years, Ratzinger had been the man in charge of enforcing the document.” - Wikipedia <br>
  Ratzinger became the first Nazi Pope - Pope Benedict XVI. He was also the first Pope in centuries to resign. After he resigned, Pope Benedict traveled the world to give children the opportunity to suck the Popesickle. <br>
  While Pope, Benedict travelled to Africa to address the HIV pandemic there. He infamously told Africans that condoms   cause   AIDS. <br>
  What are some possible solutions the Catholicks could employ to deal with their pedophile Priests? They can’t be crucified because, of course, Jesus. Maybe they can be canonized using real cannons. Maybe the Catholick Church could conduct public beheadings (the "little heads" - castrations) using tiny guillotines. We should probably leave it to the Catholick Church since they did so much cool research during the Inquisition.  ]]></description>

May 24 (al Jizzerror Fake News) - Because of Donald Trump’s “big lie” there has been a rise in domestic violent extremism (DVE).<br>

Target has offered “pride products” during Pride Month (June) for over ten years. But Target has caved to the terrorist threats this year because the LGBTQ community poses no threat and the fucking redneck Trumpers are armed and crazy.]]></description>

  Yes, Fox "News" fired Fucker Carlson.  <br>
  <br>
  Butt, of course, Carlson, like Trump, is still a Russian asset  <br>
  Maybe Fox realized that their paid liar has also been outed as a fucking  hypocrite  by the revelations revealed by the Dominion lawsuit.  These internal messages showed the hypocrisy of the Fox stars, especially Fucker Carlson.  Here are a couple of highlights from Carlson's messages: <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights," he wrote in a text sent on 4 January 2021. "I truly can't wait."<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
   "I hate him passionately,"   he added.<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 Mr Carlson, the top-rated host on the conservative network, also appeared to denigrate the Trump presidency in these private messages, despite lauding his achievements on air.<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 "That's the last four years. We're all pretending we've got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it's been is too tough to digest. But come on.   There isn't really an upside to Trump.  "<br>

  So what will Fucker Carlson do, now that he's unemployed? <br>
 Tucker Carlson Gets an Offer From Russia State Media<br><br>
 BY   ANDREW STANTON   ON 4/24/23 AT 3:24 PM EDT<br><br>
 <br><br>
<br><br>
 Tucker Carlson received an offer from Russian state media after  Fox News  announced it would part ways with the longtime host on Monday.<br>
 Fox announced Monday morning that Carlson would be departing from the network, writing in a statement that the conservative host's last show aired on Friday.  Fox  wrote, "FOX News Media and  Tucker Carlson  have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor."<br>
 Carlson, a conservative firebrand, has faced criticism from the left over his stance on a variety of topics including the 2020 presidential election and the Russia-Ukraine war, as he has voiced criticisms against Ukraine and its president  Volodymyr Zelensky , earning him praise from Russia. Despite these criticisms, Carlson frequently ranked among the most-watched cable news hosts, as conservatives support him.<br>
  The announcement that Carlson would be leaving the network drew strong reactions from both his supporters and critics on social media Monday, including from the Kremlin-affiliated news outlet  Russia Today   (RT). <br>
  RT, which has previously published news articles in support of Carlson, appeared to make an offer for him to appear on their network. <br>
 "Hey @TuckerCarlson, you can always question more with @RT_com," RT tweeted.<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
   <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 Julia Davis, a journalist who frequently reports on Russian state television, responded to the offer, writing: "Almost too predictable."<br>
 "@TuckerCarlson regularly platformed disinformation agents and genocide deniers on topics from Syria to Ukraine. It's only fitting an outlet like Russia Today would court him,"  tweeted  political scientist Sophie Fullerton.<br>
 In a statement to  Newsweek,  a spokesperson for Russia Today wrote: "We already had the pleasure of working with the greats like  Julian Assange  and the late Larry King, and had extended an invite to President Trump in 2020, and we continue to welcome outspoken, diverse personalities on our network."<br>
 Meanwhile, Carlson was also offered a role by  Vladimir Solovyov , who hosts  Evening With Vladimir Solovyov  on Russia-1. He  wrote  in a Telegram post, "Tucker, come join us. You don't have to be afraid of taking the p*** out of Biden here."<br>
 Russian State TV's History of Praising Tucker Carlson<br><br>
 Clips from Carlson's Fox News show have previously been used on Russian state TV, which largely backs the positions of Russian President  Vladimir Putin . Amid the Russia-Ukraine war, which Putin launched in February 2022, the Kremlin has cracked down on dissent and criticisms against the war.<br>
  Earlier in April, guests on the Russian program Meeting Place   praised Carlson's remarks about 21-year-old Jack Teixeira  , who has been arrested for allegedly leaking hundreds of sensitive U.S. documents online related to plans for Ukraine. Carlson described him as a "whistle-blower," drawing support from Putin propagandists. <br>
 In September, for instance, Russian state TV used clips of Carlson to  promote the war against Ukraine amid growing dissent  after Putin announced a partial mobilization of troops. Footage aired in Russia showed Carlson saying "happy anniversary" to the war while saying it would be impossible for Ukraine to defeat Russia.<br>
 Carlson's remarks about the Ukraine war at times drew criticism against Fox, with some critics  accusing him of spreading Russian propaganda . However, Carlson has defended his coverage of the topic as he and other conservatives say the Biden administration should spend the money provided to Ukraine back at home.<br>

  Please leave comments to indicate where you think Fucker Carlson should go.  "Hell" is an obvious response, so please be more creative. <br>

  Well, it's happened again.  Moscow Mitch McConnell has taken another fall.  Doctors believe his shell protected him from serious injury.  Several onlookers helped roll him off of his back butt he was unable to walk. <br>
  <br>
  There was an anxious moment when McConnell was initially pronounced DOA in the Emergency Room.  Fortunately, his outstanding physician, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, rushed in and after several attempts using a defibrillator, McConnell's heart started beating again.  Here is that dramatic moment caught by an ER video surveillance camera: <br>
  <br>
  Dr. Frankenstein said, "We are carefully examining his shell for damage and we will have to perform a CT scan and an MRI to be sure.  Fortunately, the Minority Leader has no spine butt we have to take every precaution because at his age his shell is very brittle.  If for any reason Mitch McConnell passes away, I'm sure my new procedure can restore his life again." <br>
  As you know Mitch McConnell's major accomplishments include: <br>
  Packing the Supreme Court with White-wing extremists who lied about their opposition to Roe v Wade. <br>
  Passing Trump's tax cuts for millionaires that created record federal deficits. <br>
  Filibustering all sensible gun safety legislation. <br>
  Opposing everything Democrats tried to accomplish. <br>
  We should pray that Moscow Mitch has a long and extremely painful recovery. <br>
  <br>

  Yesterday, in his "State of the State Address" the Florida Man declared a culture war! <br>
   <br>
  As a part of his "War against Wokeness" DeSantis is planning to provide school children with a new anti-woke cocktail.  The concoction will contain  Ambien, Lunesta and Xanax.   DeSantis initially wanted to include Methaqualone butt he said, "Unfortunately Bill Cosby has ruined the reputation of Quaaludes." <br>
  <br>
  It's ironic that DeSantis, who hates drag queens, always wears high heels.  The tiny Governor always wears cowboy boots even though he never rides horses.  The heels on cowboy boots are designed to help cowboys keep their feet in the stirrups.  The high heels on the Governor's cowboy boots, like the lifts inside the boots, are designed to hide the fact that DeSantis is a fucking dwarf.  <br>
  <br>
  Butt the miniature Governor doesn't always wear cowboy boots.  Despite hating drag queens, DeSantis recently wore his fancy white "Go-go boots." <br>
  <br>
  The white go-go boots also feature his signature thick soles and high heels.  And, since DeSantis has also been dieting, he chose a lovely midriff outfit to proudly display his girlish figure.  Okay, the midriff outfit is photoshopped butt the white go-go boots are fucking real. <br>
  <br>
  His cute little DeSantis monogram is also real.  Butt, I think he would look better (and even more gay) if he would wear an "M&amp;M" style sweater vest.  <br>

  Believe it or not, DeSantis got married at Disney World in 2009.  This is from the local Orlando newspaper: <br>
  Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to make hay about his battle against the Disney corporation. <br><br>   One of the state's largest employers and the  raison d'etre  for much of Central Florida drew the ire of the aspirational Republican for defending the position that gay people exist.  His ongoing fight has to be a sticky subject when he looks around at personal effects in the governor's mansion. In spite of all the bluster and hot air DeSantis has directed at the company and its parks over his tenure, the governor was married in Walt Disney World.  <br>
  https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/florida-gov-ron-desantis-was-married-at-walt-disney-world-32833863 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
   DeSantis talked about the wedding in his new book, titled "The Courage to be Free" <br>
  "When Casey first broached the idea of getting married at Disney World, I was surprised because I did not know people even got married there,' DeSantis wrote in his book. <br>
  The Florida governor describes agreeing to the Disney wedding, but under one condition. <br>
  "My only condition was that  no Disney characters could be part of our wedding.  I wanted our special day to look and feel like a traditional wedding.   I didn’t want Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck in our wedding photos  ," he wrote. <br>
 <br>
  It's obvious that DeSantis has hated Mickey Mouse since way back in 2009 when he got married at Disney World.  <br>
  DeSantis specifically forbade Mickey Mouse from attending his wedding.  DeSantis, the longtime cartoonophobe then got extremely upset recently when Disney World acknowledged that gay people actually exist.   <br>
  DeSantis, who pretends to support free speech, fired Mickey Mouse for saying, "gay"  DeSantis appointed an extreme homophobe Ron Peri to be one of five people that will oversee the Reedy Creek Improvement District (the government body that has given Disney unique powers in Central Florida for more than fifty years). <br>
 <br>
<br><br>
 DeSantis appointee to new Disney oversight board suggested tap water could turn people  gay<br><br>
<br><br>
  By   Andrew Kaczynski  ,   Em Steck   and   Steve Contorno  , CNN <br><br>
  Updated 6:34 PM EST, Fri March 3, 2023 <br><br>
   CNN  —  <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  An appointee to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new oversight board in control of Disney’s special tax district called homosexuality “evil” last year and shared a baseless conspiracy theory that tap water could be making more people gay. <br>
 On Monday, the Republican governor appointed Ron Peri, an Orlando-based former pastor and the CEO of The Gathering – a Christian ministry focused on outreach to men – as one of five people who will now oversee the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the government body that has given Disney unique powers in Central Florida for more than half a century.<br>
 DeSantis signed a bill in February that allowed him to replace the district’s existing board – mostly people with ties to Disney – with a five-member body that he hand-picked. The move to remove power from Disney comes nearly a year after the company spoke out against a Florida bill – which DeSantis later signed into law – to restrict certain classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity.<br>
 A CNN KFile review of Peri’s past comments found that he frequently made derogatory remarks about the LGBTQ community.<br>
  “So why are there homosexuals today? There are any number of reasons, you know, that are given. Some would say the increase in estrogen in our societies. You know, there’s estrogen in the water from birth control pills. They can’t get it out,” Peri baselessly said in a January 2022 Zoom discussion,  later put on YouTube . “The level of testosterone in men broadly in America has declined by 50 points in the past 10 years. You know, and so, maybe that’s a part of it.” <br>
  “But the big part I would suggest to you, based upon what it’s saying here, is the removal of constraint,” he continued. “So our society provided the constraint. And so, which is the responsibility of a society to constrain people from doing evil? Well, you remove the constraints, and then evil occurs.” <br>
 Testosterone levels in men  have dropped in recent decades , and researchers are unsure why, but the drop is not 50%, and there is no indication that a drop in testosterone affects sexual orientation. Likewise,  there is no evidence that estrogen in the water supply, for which birth control pills  account for a statistically insignificant amount , affects sexual orientation.  The claim that chemicals in tap water could turn people gay has gained ground with conspiracy theorists over the years, most memorably with fringe commentator Alex Jones, who said chemicals in the water were “turning the friggin’ frogs gay.” <br>
 I n the same discussion, Peri called homosexuality “shameful,” linking it to disease. <br>
 “There are a lot of unhealthy effects of a homosexual lifestyle,” said Peri. “There are diseases, but it goes beyond that.”<br>
  Peri has also said that LGBTQ people “don’t have a stake in the future” because many do not have children, and he called gay people “deviant.” <br>
 In one discussion, he linked homosexuality to the fall of the Roman Empire – a fringe historical belief occasionally pushed by some Christian activists.<br>
 “Homosexuality was praised,” Peri said. “LGBTQ today is being emphasized everywhere, even on children’s shows. And so ultimately the Romans had become weak.”<br>
 Peri’s discussions, which focused on seeing the modern world through a Biblical viewpoint, often touched on social topics. In other discussions uploaded on YouTube, Peri said that “not very long ago being a mother was the pinnacle of being a woman,” and  he compared abortion to genocides like the Holocaust. <br>
 “It has boggled my mind that you have not seen a massive backlash from the Black population for what is effectively a genocide. And if you look to the right, you can see that in world history, there have been great killers. The Holocaust, 11 million were killed. Six million Jews,” said Peri, pointing to a chart comparing abortion to genocide.<br>
 Peri and DeSantis did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment.<br>
 DeSantis and Disney<br><br>
  Peri’s appointment to the oversight board comes after a long-standing battle between DeSantis and Disney over the Parental Rights in Education Act – which critics have called Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.  The law bars schools from teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms and in older classrooms that do not meet yet-to-be-defined standards.<br>
  After Disney’s then-chairman spoke out against the bill last year, DeSantis stripped the company of its unique governing power within the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the special taxing district created more than half a century ago that effectively gave the entertainment giant control of what has grown to 25,000 acres around its Orlando-area theme parks. <br>
  On Monday, DeSantis changed course and signed a new bill that extended the life of the Reedy Creek Improvement District but gave the governor new powers over its future. The new law ousted the existing board, renamed it the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and allowed DeSantis to appoint all five members – one of whom was Peri. <br>
 This week, DeSantis told supporters that Disney’s opposition to the Parental Rights in Education Act was a “only a mild annoyance” and that the motivation for effectively punishing the company was in response to it allegedly injecting “a lot of this sexuality into the programming for young kids.” He has suggested that the new board could influence Disney’s business decisions by adding park discounts for Florida residents and even altering the company’s entertainment offerings.<br>
 “When you lose your way, you know, you gotta have people that are going to tell you the truth, and so we hope that they can get back on,” DeSantis said. “But I think all these board members very much would like to see the type of entertainment that all families can appreciate.”<br>
 Historically, the Reedy Creek board oversaw a fire department, water systems, roadways and building inspections around the Disney theme parks and could issue bonds and take on debt for long-term infrastructure programs. Democratic lawmakers in Florida who opposed DeSantis’ takeover of the board warned that a politically motivated body could wield that power over Disney.<br>
 “Are we going to see board members vetoing projects that are considered to go against any governor?” state Rep. Rita Harris said during floor debate on the proposal. “For instance, Walt Disney just changed Splash Mountain. They made it Tiana’s Bayou (Adventure). What if the governor didn’t like that? Would the board then be able to push a company into changing their business model just so that they don’t misalign (with) them?”<br>
 In addition to Peri, DeSantis also appointed to the board Martin Garcia, a Tampa lawyer whose private investment firm contributed $50,000 to the governor’s 2022 reelection campaign, and Bridget Ziegler, a co-founder of the conservative organization Moms for Liberty and the wife of Christian Ziegler, the new chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.<br>

 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis solidified who will oversee Walt Disney World ( DIS ) after the politician  signed a bill into law  that allows him to take control of the company's long-standing special tax district.<br>
 "The corporate kingdom finally comes to an end," DeSantis said  at a press conference  following the bill's signing on Monday. "There's a new sheriff in town, and accountability will be the order of the day."<br>
 DeSantis, who rebranded the district previously known as Reedy Creek to the "Central Florida Tourism Oversight District," hand-selected  the five board members who will now oversee Disney's municipal services. Previous board members were selected by Reedy Creek, which was fully controlled by Disney.<br>
 "The good question now is what will be the impact of the new board that he appointed," Richard Foglesong, Disney historian and author of the book  "Married to the Mouse: Walt Disney World and Orlando,"  told Yahoo Finance Live in an interview on Tuesday.<br>
 "We have a five-member board of supervisors that consists principally of cultural warrior types, Christian nationalist types. ...I think there is an issue here," he warned.<br>
 DeSantis' board includes Bridget Ziegler, a conservative member of the Sarasota County School Board and co-founder of  Moms for Liberty ; Martin Garcia, an attorney who runs investment firm Pinehill Capital Partners, which  donated $50,000  to a DeSantis-aligned political committee; and Ron Perri, chairman and CEO of  The Gathering USA , a ministry "of evangelism, discipleship and mission opportunities for men."<br>
 "The Disney company is the major manufacturer of culture in the United States," Foglesong said. "When you have people appointed to a board who can appropriately, fairly by their own description, be called cultural warriors and Christian nationalists. ...I think that's a combustible mix.<br>

  Okay, DeSantis, you're changing "the happiest place in the world" into "the most homophobic place in the world."  That's fucking awesome!  Butt, I heard some of the fucking fish in Key West are gay!!!  You better take their keys away from them.   <br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  President Biden made a gutsy trip to war torn Ukraine last Monday.  Biden praised President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people for their bravery and resolve in the ongoing war with Russia.  He also promised continued support from the US and NATO. <br>
  Putin decided to counter Biden's upcoming visit to Ukraine by launching his new powerful  "Satan II" ICBM  last Saturday.  While Putin was pounding on his chest, Putin's fancy ICBM fizzled, sputtered and failed.  As it turned out, Putin couldn't get it up.  Putin couldn't rattle his flaccid saber. <br>
  An unnamed military source in Russia said, "Putin wanted to show off his big bad ICBM.  I saw BM, butt it was on the back of Putin's shit stained pants.  Putin tried to flex his muscles butt his sphincter malfunctioned." <br>
  Kim Jong-un has offered to sell some ICBMs to Russia. <br>
  <br>
  Here is CNN's coverage of Putin's impotence: <br>
<br><br>
 US believes Russia had failed intercontinental ballistic missile test around when Biden was in Ukraine<br><br>
 By Oren Liebermann and Natasha Bertrand, CNN<br>

<br><br>
 Russia carried out a test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that appears to have failed around the time  President Joe Biden was in Ukraine , according to two US officials familiar with the matter.<br>
 Russia notified the United States in advance of the launch through deconfliction lines under its New START treaty obligations, one official said, adding that “such testing is routine.” Another official said that the test did not pose a risk to the United States and that the US did not view the test as an anomaly or an escalation.<br>
 The test of the heavy SARMAT missile – nicknamed the Satan II in the West and capable of delivering multiple nuclear warheads – appears to have failed, officials said. It has been successfully tested before and had this one worked, US officials believe Russian President Vladimir Putin would have highlighted the test in his  State of the Nation address  on Tuesday.<br>
 Instead, Putin made no mention of the launch in the speech that lasted an hour and 45 minutes. He did, however, formally declare that Russia will be suspending his country’s participation in the  New START nuclear arms reduction treaty  with the United States, imperiling the last remaining pact that regulates the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals.<br>
 CNN initially reported the apparent test occurred while Biden was in Ukraine based off information from sources. After this story first published, one of the officials said the test occurred just before Biden was in the country. The second source had told CNN that the test was on Monday without providing any more specific timing. In a subsequent update, the source said the test in fact occurred on Saturday.<br>
 The timing of the test suggests that the US and Russia were communicating through several different channels earlier this week for deconfliction purposes – US officials also notified the Russians on Sunday night, hours before Biden’s visit to Kyiv, that the president would be making the trip to the Ukrainian capital, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Monday.<br>
 The Kremlin on Wednesday declined to comment when asked about these reports in a conference call with reporters. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the matter was “the prerogative of the Ministry of Defense.”<br>
 CNN has reached out to Russia’s embassy in Washington and the Russian Defense Ministry for comment.<br>
 Putin has announced successful ICBM tests in the past,  including last April , just months after Russia invaded Ukraine. That test was also for the SARMAT missile which was first unveiled in 2016 and said by Russian state media to have a range exceeding 11,000 kilometers (6,835 miles). The missile can carry a warhead weighing 100 tons and was designed as a successor to the R-36M Voevoda ICBM.<br>
 Putin warned last year that the missile would “give thought to those who are trying to threaten Russia.”<br>
 At the time, Western experts portrayed the 2022 test as “nuclear saber-rattling” and it was perceived as an attempt to distract from Russia’s military failures at the time, such as the sinking of its Black Sea flagship the Moskva.<br>
 Then-Pentagon press secretary John Kirby called the 2022 test “routine, and it was not a surprise. It was not deemed to be a threat to the United States or its allies.”<br>
 The Russian military has faced multiple major defeats on the battlefield in Ukraine over the last year and has broadly “failed” in its strategic objectives there, multiple senior US officials have said.<br>
 “Russia is now a global pariah and the world remains inspired by Ukrainian bravery and resilience. In short, Russia has lost – they’ve lost strategically, operationally, and tactically,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said last week.<br>
 Yet Putin has shown no intention of rethinking his war, which he still insists is a “special military operation.”<br>
 Last week, Russian fighters and bombers flew near Alaska two times in as many days, forcing NORAD to scramble its fighter jets in response. The Russian aircraft remained outside US and Canadian sovereign airspace, which extends 12 miles from the coastline, but they flew in or near Alaska’s Air Defense Identification Zone, which is up to 200 miles from the coastline.<br>
 Two NORAD F-16s intercepted TU-95 bombers and SU-35 fighters that had already entered the ADIZ last Monday. One day later, NORAD F-35s intercepted TU-95 bombers, as well as SU-30 and SU-35 fighters.<br>
 “We remain ready to employ a number of response options in defense of North America and Arctic sovereignty,” NORAD said in a statement.<br>
 NORAD stressed that it did not view the Russian flights as provocative or as a threat, nor did it consider it related to the aerial objects seen around Alaska and Canada recently.<br>

  The Donald has once again provided his potential opponents with some free material for their upcoming campaign ads.  Trump seems to be his own worst enemy. Elon Musk has already re-instated Trump's twitter account, so stay tuned.  I hope The Donald starts tweeting again!    Trump can alienate millions of voters by exercising his "Freedumb of speech" on Twitter.   <br>
  <br>
  Yes, The Donald has done it to HIMSELF again.  Trump lumped himself in with one of the most notorious organized crime figures in the history of the United States- Al Capone!  <br>
  Here's an interesting little sidebar:  Al Capone once hosted a "gangster cabinet meeting".  All of Capone's Capos were in attendance seated around a large round banquet table.  Capone got out of his seat and circled the table walking behind each man while gesturing with a baseball bat.  Capone was philosophizing about  individual  achievements but pointing out that without team work the individual can't win.  It was actually an analogy about his "family".  Capone was pissed because an  individual  was skimming.  When he got behind the suspected skimmer, he swung the Louisville Slugger and bashed in the head of that individual.  Capone splattered the guy's brains on the banquet table.   Trump once called Capone,  "  The late  great gangster , Alphonse Capone!"   <br>
   <br>
 <br>
 Trump lumps himself in with Al Capone (yes, again)<br><br>
<br><br>
 It’s one thing when Donald Trump’s critics equate his alleged misconduct with infamous criminals; it’s something else when he does this to himself<br><br>

<br><br>
<br><br>
 Donald Trump is well aware of the fact that he’s facing  serious legal troubles , including possible indictments. Not surprisingly, this has led the former president to hire a small army of defense attorneys.<br>
 This week, the Republican used his social media platform to complain about all of this in  a curious way .<br>
  “Because of the Weaponization, Targeting, and Unprecedented Harassment, I believe that I have more lawyers working for me on this Corrupt Law Enforcement induced Bull…. than any human being in the history of our Country,  including even the late  great gangster , Alphonse Capone!  This is all being done for POLITICAL REASONS in that I am leading everybody, Republicans &amp; Democrats, by big numbers in the Polls. The Disinformation Specialists are at it again, full time. The Fake News is their TOOL!” <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 Obviously, much of this is nonsense, and there’s no reason to believe the criminal investigations Trump is facing are the result of a corrupted process. But what stood out for me was the fact that  the former president lumped himself in with Al Capone. <br>
 <br><br>
 What’s more, this wasn’t the first time.<br>
 About a year ago, in an online statement that’s since been deleted, Trump also whined about his legal difficulties by complaining, “Never before has this happened to another President, and it is an absolute violation of my civil rights....  I’ve been investigated by the Democrats more than Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and Al Capone, combined.” <br>
 At face value, it’s obviously unfortunate to see the former president present himself to the public as some kind of victim, solely because a variety of prosecutors in multiple jurisdictions are taking a closer look at his alleged wrongdoing.<br>
 But revisiting  our coverage  from last year, it’s still Trump’s comparison that stands out: The Republican apparently thought it’d be a good idea to issue a written statement in which  he lumped himself in with a murderer, a notorious bank robber, and one of the most powerful organized crime figures in American history. <br>
 Ten months later, he  still  thinks it’s a good idea to lump himself in with Capone.<br>
 It’s one thing when the former president’s critics equate his alleged misconduct with infamous criminals; it’s something else when Trump  does this to himself .<br>
 https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-lumps-al-capone-yes-rcna68633?cid=eml_mda_20230205&amp;user_email=58caa2ed32c32161f09f88b6e68f047a27c6735d7c7dcd112ef675b698de8281<br>
  I want to thank The Donald for running for president again.  It will be amusing watching him lose again.  I'm sure Trump will once again supply us with lots of opportunities to mock and ridicule him.  And in the meantime, Trump will make lots of lawyers rich (assuming they require a large retainer up front so they'll actually get paid).  Along with his own frivolous lawsuits, Trump is already facing civil trials, and criminal trials are right around the corner.  Trump has already taken the 5th over 400 times in the civil case against his company.  By the time the legal dust settles, he will probably have the record for the most times anyone has ever taken the 5th. <br>
  <br>
 <br>
  Buy corn futures because popcorn consumption will probably double between now and the election.  I hope Trump makes Don Jr. a big part of his campaign.  Don Jr. has a problem with "foot in mouth disease."  He is almost as amusing as his daddy.  And don't forget Eric Trump (although his daddy Trump has).  Eric Trump is as stupid as his real father, Gary Busey. <br>
  <br>
  What, too soon?  Why am I insulting Eric's dead mother?  Two things: <br>
  Thing 1 -  Ivana was married to Donald Trump.  So fucking  anyone else , like Gary Busey, would be an upgrade.  Therefore, my meme is actually a  compliment .  <br>
  Thing 2 -  I am not "insulting dead Ivana".  I'm mocking  Eric Trump  (who is semi-alive). <br>
  Thing 2.1 -  No dead people have ever complained about being insulted. <br>
 <br>
 <br>

    Earl L. "buddy Carter has introduced a bill (again) that guarantees an inflation rate of at least 23% this year,  It places a 23% national sales tax on Americans that will go up every year.  It's just another tax scheme to help billionaires and fuck over working people   <br>
   WARNING:  I've gone almost blind from the smoke and mirrors and I feel like I almost drowned in the bullshit.  Please do NOT attempt to read the whole bill - it is not designed to be comprehended.  It's designed to provide talking points for the idiots on Fox Noise.  <br>
  The good news is that Senator Jon Tester (D Montana) has already decided to stop this stupid shit from passing in the Senate (and Joe Biden would never sign it anyway). <br>
  Please contact the author of this bill, Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (R Georgia) and tell him you wiped your ass with his ridiculous bill.

   SEC. 2.    CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS .<br>
<br>
 (a)  Findings Relating To Federal Income Tax .—Congress finds the Federal income tax—
 (1) retards economic growth and has reduced the standard of living of the American public;
 (2) impedes the international competitiveness of United States industry;
 (3) reduces savings and investment in the United States by taxing income multiple times;
 (4) slows the capital formation necessary for real wages to steadily increase;
 (5) lowers productivity;
 (6) imposes unacceptable and unnecessary administrative and compliance costs on individual and business taxpayers;
 (7) is unfair and inequitable;
 (8) unnecessarily intrudes upon the privacy and civil rights of United States citizens;
 (9) hides the true cost of government by embedding taxes in the costs of everything Americans buy;
 (10) is not being complied with at satisfactory levels and therefore raises the tax burden on law abiding citizens; and
 (11) impedes upward social mobility.
 (b)  Findings Relating To Federal Payroll Taxes .—Congress finds further that the Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes and self-employment taxes—
 (1) raise the cost of employment;
 (2) destroy jobs and cause unemployment; and
 (3) have a disproportionately adverse impact on lower income Americans.
 (c)  Findings Relating To Federal Estate And Gift Taxes .—Congress finds further that the Federal estate and gift taxes—
 (1) force family businesses and farms to be sold by the family to pay such taxes;
 (2) discourage capital formation and entrepreneurship;
 (3) foster the continued dominance of large enterprises over small family-owned companies and farms; and
 (4) impose unacceptably high tax planning costs on small businesses and farms.
 (d)  Findings Relating To National Sales Tax .—Congress finds further that a broad-based national sales tax on goods and services purchased for final consumption—
 (1) is similar in many respects to the sales and use taxes in place in 45 of the 50 States;
 (2) will promote savings and investment;
 (3) will promote fairness;
 (4) will promote economic growth;
 (5) will raise the standard of living;
 (6) will increase investment;
 (7) will enhance productivity and international competitiveness;
 (8) will reduce administrative burdens on the American taxpayer;
 (9) will improve upward social mobility; and
 (10) will respect the privacy interests and civil rights of taxpayers.
 (e)  Findings Relating To Administration Of National Sales Tax .—Congress further finds that—
 (1) most of the practical experience administering sales taxes is found at the State governmental level;
 (2) it is desirable to harmonize Federal and State collection and enforcement efforts to the maximum extent possible
 (3) it is sound tax administration policy to foster administration and collection of the Federal sales tax at the State level in return for a reasonable administration fee to the States; and
 (4) businesses that must collect and remit taxes should receive reasonable compensation for the cost of doing so.
 (f)  Findings Relating To Repeal Of Present Federal Tax System .—Congress further finds that the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution should be repealed.

   WTF?  <br>

  I guess the DOJ will appoint another Special Counsel to investigate Pence. <br>
<br><br>
  First on CNN: Classified documents found at Pence’s Indiana home <br><br>

 WashingtonCNN — <br><br>
 A lawyer for former Vice President Mike Pence discovered about a dozen documents marked as classified at Pence’s Indiana home last week, and he has turned those classified records over to the FBI, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.<br>
 The FBI and the Justice Department’s National Security Division have launched a review of the documents and how they ended up in Pence’s house in Indiana.<br>
 The classified documents were discovered at the former vice president’s new home in Carmel, Indiana, by a lawyer for Pence in the wake of the revelations about classified material  discovered in President Joe Biden’s private office and residence , the sources said. The discovery comes after Pence has repeatedly said he did not have any classified documents in his possession.<br>
 It is not yet clear what the documents are related to or their level of sensitivity or classification.<br>
 Pence’s team notified congressional leaders and relevant committees of the discovery on Tuesday.<br>
 Pence asked his lawyer with experience handling classified material to conduct the search of his home out of an abundance of caution. Sources said that the attorney, Matt Morgan, began going through four boxes stored at Pence’s house last week, finding a small number of documents with classified markings.<br>
 Pence’s lawyer immediately alerted the National Archives, the sources said. In turn, the Archives informed the Justice Department.<br>

  Biden has not weighed in on the Pence Classified doc's, butt guess who jumped right into that fire?  Donald Fucking Trump had to go there (of course). <br>
   <br>
  It is obvious that the rules (and laws) that pertain to classified information should be updated. <br>
  When I served in the Navy (VF-102) I was the C.O.'s Yeoman (the equivalent of Radar O'Reilly on MASH).  I was also the "Postal Orderly".  I had to meet the mail plane when it landed on the deck of the USS Independence.  I would off-load at least two mail pouches  (regular mail and classified mail).  I took the locked pouch directly into the squadron's walk-in safe.  I would route every classified document to the recipient indicated.  Every pilot had a mail slot in the safe for classified info.  When Officers received a transfer, I would attach a memo requesting that they return any classified information in their procession.  Every document had to be accounted for.  <br>

  We all know that Trump is a sore loser.  Donald Trump is also a sore winner.  Despite his 2016 win over Hillary Clinton, he fired a lawsuit claiming that Hillary cheated in 2016.  In fact, Trump named 31 people and organizations that formed a huge conspiracy against him in his lawsuit. <br>
   When Trump LOST the 2020 election  (he still won't concede) he filed tons of lawsuits in a lame attempt to overturn the election.  He even attempted a coup.  And he has been a big crybaby ever since. <br>
  .  <br>
   Butt Trump won the 2016 election  (in the Electoral College) so why is he filing a frivolous lawsuit about  that  election?  WTF?  Is he crying because Hillary won the popular vote? <br>
  <br>
  Here's an article from last November about Trump's frivolous lawsuit: <br>

 Judge Fines Trump Lawyers in Clinton Conspiracy Suit Tossed in September<br><br>
<br><br>
 The sanctions ruling comes as a range of lawyers working for former President Donald J. Trump are under scrutiny.<br>

<br><br>
 WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Florida imposed sanctions on Thursday against a group of lawyers for former President Donald J. Trump who handled a sprawling lawsuit that accused Hillary Clinton and a range of Mr. Trump’s perceived enemies of a vast conspiracy against him.<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  The judge, Donald M. Middlebrooks of the Southern District of Florida, had thrown out the case in September, and in a scathing  19-page ruling , he accused Mr. Trump’s lawyers of abusing the legal system by suing for political purposes in a case that he portrayed as full of misinformation. “Every claim was frivolous, most barred by settled, well-established existing law,” he said. <br>
 ______________________<br>
 In the racketeering case, Judge Middlebrooks, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton, wrote,  Mr. Trump put forward “political grievances masquerading as legal claims.” He added, “The courts are not intended for performative litigation for purposes of fund-raising and political statements.” <br>
 ______________________<br>
  In filing the lawsuit in March, Mr. Trump named 31 people and organizations as defendants. The case amounted to yet another venue for Mr. Trump to air his grievances and conspiracy theories about the Russia investigation. <br>
 Mr. Dolan was the subject of pro-Trump conspiracy theories after John Durham, the Trump-era special counsel investigating the Russia investigation, mentioned him in an indictment of Igor Danchenko, a Russia analyst who gathered many of the claims in the so-called Steele dossier. (Mr. Danchenko was acquitted last month.)<br>
 _______________________<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 But Mr. Trump pressed on. After Judge Middlebrooks dismissed the lawsuit and Mr. Dolan asked for sanctions, the  Trump team claimed  that “nearly all” of the allegations the lawsuit had made against him came from the Danchenko indictment.<br>
  That, Judge Middlebrooks wrote, “is simply not so,” saying Mr. Trump had instead “cherry-picked portions which supported his narrative while ignoring those that undermined or contradicted it.” <br>

 Trump, Lawyer Hit With $937,989 Sanctions in Clinton Case<br>
 
 <br>
 Florida judge says Trump suit was blatant abuse of the courts<br><br>
<br>
<br>
 Ex-president argued Clinton, Democrats conspired against him<br><br>

<br><br>
  Former President Donald Trump and one of his top lawyers were ordered by a judge to pay a total of almost $1 million in legal fees and costs to Hillary Clinton, her 2016 campaign and more than a dozen political operatives who he alleged ran a vast conspiracy to damage his reputation. <br>
 The suit is part of a long pattern of abuse of the courts by Trump and his lawyers and “should never have been brought,” US District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks said in a ruling Thursday in West Palm Beach, Florida.<br>
 “ Its inadequacy as a legal claim was evident from the start,” the judge said. “No reasonable lawyer would have filed it. Intended for a political purpose, none of the counts of the amended complaint stated a cognizable legal claim.” <br>
 Trump, his lead attorney, Alina Habba, and her law firm were held jointly liable for $937,989. The sanctions were issued on behalf of 18 defendants who submitted a joint motion accusing Trump of knowingly filing a suit with bogus and unbelievable claims to dishonestly advance a political narrative.<br>
 The ruling is the latest legal setback for Trump, who was not deterred by his failed lawsuits challenging the result of the 2020 presidential election. Earlier this month, his lawyers barely escaped  sanctions  over their failed arguments against New York Attorney General Letitia James’s civil fraud suit against him and his company, which goes to trial in October. And a suit Trump filed against James in Florida was dismissed last month by Middlebrooks, who said that case had “all the telltale signs of being both vexatious and frivolous.”<br>
 Habba didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.<br>
 The ruling came hours after Habba appeared in New York state court to argue against dismissal of a $100 million lawsuit Trump filed against his niece Mary Trump and the New York Times over its award-winning 2018 story on the former president’s taxes. The judge overseeing that case Thursday repeatedly suggested the damages sought by Trump could be viewed as intimidation.<br>
 Middlebrooks, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, said in his ruling in Trump’s Florida suit against Clinton that filing such lawsuits “undermines the rule of law, portrays judges as partisans, and diverts resources from those who have suffered actual legal harm.”<br>
 The judge rejected any notion that Trump’s lawyers were the only ones at fault.<br>
 “  Mr. Trump is a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries,” the judge said. “He is the mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process, and h  e cannot be seen as a litigant blindly following the advice of a lawyer.”  <br>
 Trump’s suit repeated many of his grievances over the FBI’s 2016 investigation into whether his presidential campaign was colluding with Russia to influence the election that year, alleging the entire probe was the result of a Democratic-led conspiracy to undermine his presidency and tarnish his reputation. Along with Clinton, he named former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey, Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta, British intelligence ex-agent Christopher Steele and many others.<br>
  The judge blasted Trump’s lawyers for stacking the lawsuit with details from criminal complaints against former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann and Russian business analyst Igor Danchenko, who were charged by the US Justice Department special counsel investigating the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia probe. The allegations against both men were seized upon by Trump and his allies as evidence that Democrats and their Justice Department allies conspired to undermine Trump starting in 2015. While many faults in the FBI probe were uncovered, both cases ended in acquittal. <br>
 “A criminal indictment should be no more than the starting point for a lawyer’s good faith pre-filing investigation,” the judge wrote. “The danger of overreliance has been demonstrated here, in light of the acquittals of Mr. Sussmann and Mr. Danchenko.”<br>
 Middlebrooks dismissed Trump’s suit in September, calling it a “manifesto.” The judge in November ordered Habba and another lawyer to pay $50,000 to the court and $16,274 in legal fees and costs to one of the defendants, Democratic political operative Charles Dolan, who was involved in Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and filed his own motion for sanctions.<br>
 The case is Trump v. Clinton, 22-cv-14102, US District Court, Southern District of Florida.<br>

<br><br>
  Trump will likely continue to be litigious.  He fucking loves lawsuits that he usually loses.  He also often fails to pay his lawyers.  In the case cited his attorneys will have to pay the court almost a million dollars.  I wonder if he will have to rely on Public Defenders to handle his upcoming criminal cases?  Or maybe lawyers will demand payment in advance to represent him. <br>
  Remember when he sued a comedian for five million dollars over a fucking joke? <br>

  Here was the meme I posted when Trump dropped the lawsuit: <br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  In the Sumer of 2021 I was sitting in a circle vaping sinsemilla with my stoner friends when we came up with   THE PLAN. <br>
   Because the fucking Republicans had a plan (that they tried to keep secret) to defund Social Security and Medicare.  Oh, and, of course, they planned to kill Obamacare (as usual).   <br>
  So, naturally, we decided to design a master plan to kill Republicans.  Well, we didn't really want to murder anyone (well, there was this  one guy , Mahatma, who wanted to  kill them all ).  Our actual objective was to mock and ridicule the Republicans and make it extremely uncool to for them to eliminate the most popular government programs in US history.  <br>
  We decided to attack in waves.  The first wave of attackers would be the geezers.  The oldest Americans had the most to lose.  The Republicans were going to eliminate their income and their healthcare.   <br>
  So we contacted Willard Scott to get his birthday list of everybody over a hundred years old in the United States.  We figured if the oldest geezers attacked first, the Republicans would look like the bullies they are if they fought back.  We used Willard Scott's list and to attempted to speak with all of the "woke" geezers we could locate. <br>
  Unfortunately, Willard Scott's list was never updated.  For some reason, we was unable to contact most of the hundred year old geezers.  A lot of the geezers that we were able to contact very politely told us to, "FUCK OFF".  I decided to ask Willard Scott to talk to the geezers for me, since they worship the shit out of him, but I couldn't reach him either.   <br>
  Then we decided to take a break and get high again.  We were Vaping some killer sinsemilla and watching NBC, where Willard Scott worked for 65 fucking years.  That's when we saw the headline: "WILLARD SCOTT DEAD AT 87".  So, we "86ed" the geezer part of the plan.   <br>
  Then NBC ran a "Special" to honor Willard Scott.  We were vaping the whole time.  Ironically, Scott's greatest achievement was that he created Ronald McDonald. <br>
   <br>
  Then, for some reason, we all had a "Big Mac attacks".  So we went to McDonald's and bought dozens of Big Macs  .  Then we vaped for a while before going back and getting we all got happy meals for desert.  That's when we came up with   Plan B  .  We decided to visit Republican National Headquarters and drink some Ipecac Syrup.  We could then render the building completely disgusting just like the people who occupied the place.  We got the idea from " Family Guy ." <br>
   <br>
  Plan B may seem kinda strange butt it  is  appropriate because Republicans have been making Americans puke for years. <br>

I applaud Merrick Garland's decision to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate President Biden's mishandling of classified documents.  Garland has defused any notion that Biden is receiving preferential treatment.  Garland's choice for Special Counsel is outstanding.<br>
 Garland appointed Robert Hur, a former U.S. attorney, to handle the investigation.  Robert Hur was appointed by Donald Trump as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland.   Hur returned to private practice when he left the DOJ in 2021.<br>
The argument that Biden was receiving "preferential treatment" is now moot.<br>

  The Donald had a very bad, no good, fucking terrifying week.  First the Trump Corporation was found guilty on seventeen counts of Criminal tax fraud.  Then Trump's hand picked hypocrite, Herschel Walker, lost the runoff election for the Senate in Georgia.  And finally, more classified information has been found at a storage facility in West Palm Beach near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. <br>
  In 2024 the Republicans will run on fear, as usual (of crime), butt they are also want to run on inflation and the economy (stupid).  The bad news for Republicans is that inflation is easing while wages are going up.  Gas prices are rapidly falling and toy and clothing prices are falling just in time for Christmas.  And, of course, the economy is strong.  The Republicans were hoping for a recession which looks less likely, because the Fed is considering smaller interest hikes. <br>
  Jack Smith, was an excellent choice for Special Counsel.  He left the US Department of Justice and became Chief Prosecutor at the Hague for Kosovo War Crimes.  He is returning now to investigate Trump's January 6th crimes and the Crimes associated with the removal of classified information from the White House. <br>
      <br>
  The National Archives has been saying that Trump has still not returned all of the missing classified information that he removed from the White House.  The article below proves they are right. <br>
   Trump Legal Team Finds Two More Documents Marked Classified at Florida Storage Facility  <br>
   Material is handed over to Justice Department investigators  <br>
   By    Alex Leary   <br>
 Updated December 7, 2022, 5:47 pm EST<br>
 WASHINGTON—A search of a Florida storage facility conducted on behalf of lawyers for former President Donald Trump turned up two additional documents with classified markings, people familiar with the operation said.<br>
 The documents were found at a facility in West Palm Beach not far from Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, where more than   two-dozen boxes of records   were retrieved earlier this year as part of a continuing criminal investigation by the Justice Department.<br>
 The two newly located documents were handed over to investigators, the people said. It couldn’t be determined what the records were. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment. <br>
 A spokesman for Mr. Trump, Steven Cheung, didn’t comment on any discovered materials but said: “President Trump and his counsel continue to be cooperative and transparent, despite the unprecedented, illegal, and unwarranted attack against President Trump and his family by the weaponized Department of Justice.”<br>
 In October,   prosecutors pressed for the return   of what they believed to be   more government documents   in the former president’s possession, and told Mr. Trump’s lawyers they didn’t believe Mr. Trump’s team had located all of the government documents the former president took with him as he left office. In particular, they expressed concern that Mr. Trump took documents on flights as he traveled from Mar-a-Lago to his other properties in New York and New Jersey.<br>
 The search, undertaken on behalf of Mr. Trump’s legal team, didn’t find any classified documents at the former president’s other properties, the people said. The Washington Post earlier reported about the discovery of documents in West Palm Beach. The facility had received material taken from the Trump White House and transported by the federal General Services Administration. The GSA didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.<br>
 Prosecutors had sought to compel Mr. Trump to provide   any remaining documents  , The Wall Street Journal previously reported, prompting his legal team to discuss options. Those include hiring an outside firm to conduct a search and certify that no additional documents remain, and launching a legal challenge to the Justice Department’s demand.<br>
 One lawyer for Mr. Trump, Chris Kise, had earlier advocated for an outside firm to do such a search, but he met initial resistance from other attorneys on the team, according to people familiar with the discussions.<br>
 After a   monthslong tug of war   between Mr. Trump’s team and federal officials with the National Archives and the Justice Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents   searched Mr. Trump’s Florida home   in August and seized boxes of government records that included   around 100 documents marked classified  , including those meant to be viewed only in special government facilities.<br>
 In the ensuing months, Justice Department investigators pushed to speak to several of Mr. Trump’s top aides, giving at least one of them immunity for his testimony and relaying to another who had handled some of the boxes at issue that they believe he provided a misleading account of his actions.<br>
 Several Trump aides last week appeared before a federal grand jury investigating the documents, including Dan Scavino, the deputy chief of staff for communications in Mr. Trump’s White House; Will Russell, who served in roles including coordinator of presidential travel, and went on to work for the former president in Florida after he left office; and Beau Harrison, who also worked for Mr. Trump in the White House, a person familiar with the matter said. Prosecutors’ questions included some about what was inside the boxes, who moved them and why, the person said.<br>
 Prosecutors have said they are investigating both the mishandling of classified information and government records and whether anyone tried to obstruct the probe. Special Counsel Jack Smith took over the investigation last month.<br>
 The development is another sign that the investigation appears to be moving swiftly. Earlier this month, an appeals court handed the Justice Department a major victory and dismantled an outside review of the seized documents that a lower court judge had instated, which had slowed investigators’ ability to access some of the documents.   <br>

  It's entertaining to note that initially Trump claimed that all of the classified information had been returned.  Of course, that was a fucking lie.  The FBI executed a search warrant on Mar-a-largo and found a plethora of documents.  Some of the documents were even found in Trump's desk (probably next to a pair of Ivanka's panties). <br>
  Trump the said the documents were planted by the FBI.  Then Trump claimed that he had magically declassified the documents.  Then he said the documents belonged to him and they should be returned.  All of his spinning made Trump dizzy and he puked all over himself. <br>

  The Donald wants to tear up the Constitution because of his stupid "Big lie".   <br>
  Trump tweeted that he wants to  "throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?  A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."  <br>
  Alex Cannon, Trumps attorney told Trump there was no election fraud.  Bill Barr called the fraud allegations "bullshit".  Even Ivanka Trump told the then President Trump that there was no fraud. <br>

  Liz Cheney (R. Wyoming) the vice chairwoman of the January 6th Committee has condemned former President Trump as “an enemy of the Constitution”: <br>
 Liz Cheney seizes on Trump’s call to terminate Constitution<br><br>
  BY  ZACH SCHONFELD  - 12/04/22 6:32 PM ET <br>
 Rep.   Liz Cheney   (R-Wyo.) on Sunday condemned former President Trump as “an enemy of the Constitution” after he  called for terminating the document  over unfounded claims of mass electoral fraud in the 2020 presidential election.<br>
 “  Donald Trump  believes we should terminate ‘all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution’ to overturn the 2020 election,” Cheney wrote on Twitter. “That was his view on 1/6 and remains his view today. No honest person can now deny that Trump is an enemy of the Constitution.” <br>
 Cheney, a leading Trump critic within the GOP who serves as vice chairwoman of the House Jan. 6 committee, was one of many figures to condemn Trump’s Truth Social post on Saturday arguing the Constitution should be terminated over his long-standing election grievances.<br>
 “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False &amp; Fraudulent Elections!” Trump wrote.<br>
 The White House and some in the GOP joined Cheney’s condemnations, including Rep.   Adam Kinzinger  (Ill.), the other Republican on the Jan. 6 panel. <br>
   This is insane. Trump hates the constitution ,”   Kinzinger tweeted  . <br>
  <br>
 https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3761581-liz-cheney-seizes-on-trumps-call-to-terminate-constitution/<br>
  Is The Donald actually insane or is he preparing for an insanity defense for his upcoming criminal trials?  To be legally insane he will have to  prove  that he doesn't know right from wrong. <br>
  Of course, Trump IS insane (just not in the legal sense).  Trump is "tri-polar".  He is a pathological liar and a megalomaniacal narcissist.  That's the trifecta of neurosis and it may rise to the level of psychosis. <br>
 The ‘Shared Psychosis’ of Donald Trump and His Loyalists<br><br>
 Forensic psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee explains the outgoing president’s pathological appeal and how to wean people from it<br>
<br>
 
 <br>
 By    Tanya Lewis    on January 11, 2021<br><br>
<br>
 <br>
 <br><br>
  The violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Building last week, incited by President Donald Trump, serves as the grimmest moment in one of the darkest chapters in the nation’s history. Yet the rioters’ actions—and Trump’s own role in, and response to, them—come as little surprise to many, particularly those who have been studying the president’s mental fitness and the psychology of his most ardent followers since he took office. <br>
  One such person is Bandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist and president of the World Mental Health Coalition.* Lee led a group of psychiatrists, psychologists and other specialists who questioned Trump’s mental fitness for office in a book that she edited called    The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President   . In doing so, Lee and her colleagues strongly rejected     the American Psychiatric Association’s   modification of a 1970s-era guideline  ,    known as the Goldwater rule, that discouraged psychiatrists from giving a professional opinion about public figures who they have not examined in person. “Whenever the Goldwater rule is mentioned, we should refer back to the Declaration of Geneva, which mandates that physicians speak up against destructive governments,” Lee says. “This declaration was created in response to the experience of Nazism.” <br>
  Lee recently wrote    Profile of a Nation: Trump’s Mind, America’s Soul   , a psychological assessment of the president against the backdrop of his supporters and the country as a whole. These insights are now taking on renewed importance as a growing number of current and former leaders   call for Trump to be impeached  . On January 9 Lee and her colleagues at the World Mental Health Coalition put out a   statement   calling for Trump’s immediate removal from office. <br>
  What attracts people to Trump? What is their animus or driving force? <br>
 The reasons are multiple and varied, but in my recent public-service book,  Profile of a Nation , I have outlined two major emotional drives: narcissistic symbiosis and shared psychosis. Narcissistic symbiosis refers to the developmental wounds that make the leader-follower relationship magnetically attractive. The leader, hungry for adulation to compensate for an inner lack of self-worth, projects grandiose omnipotence—while the followers, rendered needy by societal stress or developmental injury, yearn for a parental figure. When such wounded individuals are given positions of power, they arouse similar pathology in the population that creates a “lock and key” relationship.<br>
  “  Shared psychosis  ”—which is also called “  folie à millions  ” [“madness for millions”] when occurring at the national level or “induced delusions”—refers to the infectiousness of severe symptoms that goes beyond ordinary group psychology. When a highly symptomatic individual is placed in an influential position, the person’s symptoms can spread through the population through emotional bonds, heightening existing pathologies and inducing delusions, paranoia and propensity for violence—even in previously healthy individuals. The treatment is removal of exposure. <br>
  Why does Trump himself seem to gravitate toward violence and destruction? <br>
 Destructiveness is a core characteristic of mental pathology, whether directed toward the self or others. First, I wish to clarify that those with mental illness are, as a group, no more dangerous than those without mental illness. When mental pathology is accompanied by criminal-mindedness, however, the combination can make individuals far more dangerous than either alone.<br>
 In my  textbook on violence , I emphasize the symbolic nature of violence and how it is a life impulse gone awry. Briefly, if one cannot have love, one resorts to respect. And when respect is unavailable, one resorts to fear. Trump is now living through an intolerable loss of respect: rejection by a nation in his election defeat. Violence helps compensate for feelings of powerlessness, inadequacy and lack of real productivity.<br>
  Do you think Trump is truly exhibiting delusional or psychotic behavior? Or is he simply behaving like an autocrat making a bald-faced attempt to hold onto his power? <br>
 I believe it is both. He is certainly of an autocratic disposition because his extreme narcissism does not allow for equality with other human beings, as democracy requires. Psychiatrists generally assess delusions through personal examination, but there is other evidence of their likelihood. First, delusions are more infectious than strategic lies, and so we see, from their sheer spread, that Trump likely truly believes them. Second, his emotional fragility, manifested in extreme intolerance of realities that do not fit his wishful view of the world, predispose him to psychotic spirals. Third, his public record includes numerous hours of interviews and interactions with other people—such as the hour-long one with the Georgia secretary of state—that very nearly confirm delusion, as my colleague and I discovered in a  systematic analysis .<br>
  Where does the hatred some of his supporters display come from? And what can we do to promote healing? <br>
 In  Profile of a Nation,  I outline the many causes that create his followership. But there is important psychological injury that arises from relative—not absolute—socioeconomic deprivation. Yes, there is great injury, anger and redirectable energy for hatred, which Trump harnessed and stoked for his manipulation and use. The emotional bonds he has created facilitate shared psychosis at a massive scale. It is a natural consequence of the conditions we have set up. For healing, I usually recommend three steps: (1) Removal of the offending agent (the influential person with severe symptoms). (2) Dismantling systems of thought control—common in advertising but now also heavily adopted by politics. And (3) fixing the socioeconomic conditions that give rise to poor collective mental health in the first place.<br>
  What do you predict he will do after his presidency? <br>
 I again emphasize in  Profile of a Nation  that we should consider the president, his followers and the nation as an ecology, not in isolation. Hence, what he does after this presidency depends a great deal on us. This is the reason I frantically wrote the book over the summer: we require active intervention to stop him from achieving any number of destructive outcomes for the nation, including the establishment of a shadow presidency. He will have no limit, which is why I have actively advocated for removal and accountability, including prosecution. We need to remember that he is more a follower than a leader, and we need to place constraints from the outside when he cannot place them from within.<br>
  What do you think will happen to his supporters? <br>
  If we handle the situation appropriately, there will be a lot of disillusionment and trauma. And this is all right—they are healthy reactions to an abnormal situation. We must provide emotional support for healing, and this includes societal support, such as sources of belonging and dignity. Cult members and victims of abuse are often emotionally bonded to the relationship, unable to see the harm that is being done to them. After a while, the magnitude of the deception conspires with their own psychological protections against pain and disappointment. This causes them to avoid seeing the truth. And the situation with Trump supporters is very similar. The danger is that another pathological figure will come around and entice them with a false “solution” that is really a harnessing of this resistance. <br>
  How can we avert future insurrection attempts or acts of violence? <br>
 Violence is the end product of a long process, so prevention is key. Structural violence, or inequality, is the most potent stimulant of behavioral violence. And reducing inequality in all forms—economic, racial and gender—will help toward preventing violence. For prevention to be effective, knowledge and in-depth understanding cannot be overlooked—so we can anticipate what is coming, much like the pandemic. The silencing of mental health professionals during the Trump era, mainly through a politically driven distortion of an ethical guideline, was catastrophic, in my view, in the nation’s failure to understand, predict and prevent the dangers of this presidency.<br>

  The Donald wants to tear up the Constitution because of his stupid "Big lie".   <br>
  Trump tweeted that he wants to  "throw out the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?  A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."  <br>
  Alex Cannon, Trumps attorney told Trump there was no election fraud.  Bill Barr called the fraud allegations "bullshit".  Even Ivanka Trump told the then President Trump that there was no fraud. <br>
  <br>
  Liz Cheney (R. Wyoming) the vice chairwoman of the January 6th Committee has condemned former President Trump as “an enemy of the Constitution”: <br>
 Liz Cheney seizes on Trump’s call to terminate Constitution<br><br>
 BY  ZACH SCHONFELD  - 12/04/22 6:32 PM ET  Rep.   Liz Cheney   (R-Wyo.) on Sunday condemned former President Trump as “an enemy of the Constitution” after he  called for terminating the document  over unfounded claims of mass electoral fraud in the 2020 presidential election.<br>
 “  Donald Trump  believes we should terminate ‘all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution’ to overturn the 2020 election,” Cheney wrote on Twitter. “That was his view on 1/6 and remains his view today. No honest person can now deny that Trump is an enemy of the Constitution.” <br>
 Cheney, a leading Trump critic within the GOP who serves as vice chairwoman of the House Jan. 6 committee, was one of many figures to condemn Trump’s Truth Social post on Saturday arguing the Constitution should be terminated over his long-standing election grievances.<br>
 “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False &amp; Fraudulent Elections!” Trump wrote.<br>
 The White House and some in the GOP joined Cheney’s condemnations, including Rep.   Adam Kinzinger  (Ill.), the other Republican on the Jan. 6 panel. <br>
   xx This is insane. Trump hates the constitution ,”   Kinzinger tweeted  . <br>
  <br>
 https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3761581-liz-cheney-seizes-on-trumps-call-to-terminate-constitution/<br>
  Is The Donald actually insane or is he preparing for an insanity defense for his upcoming criminal trials?  To be legally insane he will have to  prove  that he doesn't know right from wrong. <br>
  Of course, Trump IS insane (just not in the legal sense).  Trump is "tri-polar".  He is a pathological liar and a megalomaniacal narcissist.  That's the trifecta of neurosis and it may rise to the level of psychosis. <br>
  I predict that many books will be written about The Donald's mental illness.  His niece, Mary Trump, is a Ph. D. psychologist who has observed The Donald's behavior for decades, has already written a book.  Please read her book:    TOO MUCH and NEVER ENOUGH (How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man)   <br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  The Twitter implosion is shaking social media.   <br>
  Elon Musk (the most intelligent person in history) laid off a bunch of Twitter employees and promised to abuse any employees who decided to stay.  Since Musk has instituted his new "hardcore" policy, all employees are required to work naked.  The Twitter building is locked and the only people who can unlock the building are gone.  Employee card keys have been disabled.  Poor Elon is locked inside with both of the Twitter employees who haven't quit (yet). <br>
  Elon "Free Speech" Musk used his free speech police to comb through the emails and messages of Twitter employees and he fired anyone who was critical of him.  Twitter users who criticized Musk were permanently suspended.  Apparently, to Elon Musk, using the "N-word" is free speech, butt anything negative about  him  is strictly prohibited. <br>
 <br>
  <br>
  Elon Musk, the Chief Twit, has a new plan to revive Twitter.  First, he will welcome Donald Trump back to Twitter.    White supremacist extremist groups, like the Republican Party, will be welcome to spread their lies and propaganda on Twitter.  Idiots like Fucker Carlson, Mike Lindell, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Louie Gohmert will be encouraged to tweet their stupidity.   <br>
  Musk will even invite members of fringe groups like QAnon, the KKK, Nazis, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers and various White-wing "militias" to spew hate and conspiracy theories on Twitter. <br>
  Since Twitter lost its current advertisers, like General Motors, it will feature lots of My Pillow ads.    Musk will sell advertising to the NRA (and, of course, gun and ammunition manufacturers and retailers).  <br>
  Musk plans to have a plethora of political advertising.    Twitter is also experimenting with "classified ads".  This section will be for prostitution, pornography, guns, and almost anything else. <br>

  It's now 12:20 AM.  The votes are still being counted.  It's extremely close. <br>
  The Retrumplicans immediately gained five House seats in Florida because of DeSantis' gerrymandering.  I won't lie.  The Democrats may have lost control of the House of Representatives.  Right now the Senate stands at 46-46.  The Democrats may have lost control of the Senate because the Retrumplicans only need to gain one seat. <br>
  Butt, there was no huge "Red Tsunami" that Fox Noise and the Retrumplicans were predicting. <br>
  I guess Trump will declare victory and still whine about fraud. <br>
  <br>
  I'd love to see The Donald surf the above red wave. <br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  In the classic book/movie The Wizard of Oz, "The Great and Powerful Oz" eventually admitted that he was a fraud. <br><br>
 <br><br>
  Mehmet Oz, "The Lizard of Oz", is also a fraud butt he won't admit it. <br><br>
 <br><br>
<br><br>
 Mehmet Cengiz Öz   [    is the   Republican   nominee in the   2022 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania   and is the first   Muslim   candidate to be nominated by either major party   for U.S. Senate  .     Oz's promotion of   pseudoscience  , including on the topics of   alternative medicine  ,   faith healing  , and various   paranormal   beliefs, has earned him criticism from a number of medical publications and physicians.<br><br>
<br><br>
    <br><br>
<br><br>
 Describing himself as a conservative Republican, Oz has taken mostly conservative positions since launching his campaign. He   opposes abortion  , the   Affordable Care Act  , and the   legalization of recreational     cannabis  , while supporting   school choice  ,   hydraulic fracturing  , closer relations with   Israel  , the   right to bear arms  , and federal protection of   same-sex marriage  .<br><br>
<br><br>
    <br><br>
<br><br>
 In 2003, Oz was scheduled to present medical research regarding   heart bypass surgery   and   heart-lung machines   to the yearly conference of the   American Association for Thoracic Surgery  , but the presentation was withdrawn and for two years he was banned from further presentations to the association or publishing work in the association's medical journal.<br><br>
<br><br>
    <br><br>
   In 2015, a group of 10 physicians demanded Columbia remove Oz from the faculty for his alleged "disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine”.  <br><br>
<br><br>
  Medical claims and controversies <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 Oz's image and quotes have been exploited by many weight loss product   scammers  . While he himself has not been found to be involved in these scams, he has made statements that were exploited by scammers.    During a 2014 Senate hearing on consumer protection, Senator   Claire McCaskill    said that "the scientific community is almost monolithic against you" for airing segments on weight loss products that are later cited in advertisements, concluding that Oz plays a role, intentional or not, in perpetuating these scams, and that she is "concerned that you are melding medical advice, news, and entertainment in a way that harms consumers.”     He has been a spokesman and advisor for the website   RealAge  .com, which    The New York Times    has criticized for its pharmaceutical marketing practices.<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 During the  COVID-19 pandemic , Oz's television appearances influenced Trump's decision-making,   and he became an informal advisor to the Trump administration.  Oz had promoted the use of  hydroxychloroquine , an antimalarial drug, as a cure for COVID-19 on more than 25  Fox News broadcasts in March and April 2020.  Trump claimed to be taking the drug in May 2020.  In June 2020, the  Food and Drug Administration  revoked emergency use authorization of hydroxychloroquine, saying that it was "no longer reasonable to believe" that the drug was effective against COVID-19 or that its benefits outweighed "known and potential risks”.  Oz also owns at least $630,000 of stock in two companies that manufacture or distribute hydroxychloroquine, Thermo Fisher and McKesson Corporation.<br>
 In April 2020, Oz appeared on Fox News with  Sean Hannity  and said that reopening schools in the United States might be worth the increased number of deaths it would cause. Referencing an article published in the medical journal   The Lancet  , Oz said, "I just saw a nice piece in  The Lancet  [medical journal] arguing that the opening of schools may only cost us 2–3% in terms of total mortality.”  Oz's comments provoked a backlash online, and he apologized, saying he had misspoken and that his goal was "to get our children safely back to school.”<br>
  In his campaign, he has called for immunologist   Anthony Fauci  , the   Chief Medical Advisor to the President  , to be fired and also opposed vaccine requirements. <br>
  On April 9, 2022, Oz's campaign was endorsed by former president   Donald Trump  .    Oz's ties to Turkey, including his   dual citizenship  , were criticized by his Republican primary opponents.      Oz called these issues a "distraction" and said that he will renounce his   Turkish citizenship   if elected, while his campaign called the attacks "pathetic and xenophobic".  <br>
  In May 2022,   Columbia University   cut ties with Oz and removed his presence from their website. <br>
  COVID-19 <br><br>
 In March 2020, Oz suggested that  hydroxychloroquine , a drug typically used to treat rheumatological conditions and as an anti-malarial, could be used to treat COVID-19 as well. He called for the reopening of schools in April of the same year. Oz has however promoted the  efficacy of wearing masks  and of getting  vaccinated  against the virus.<br>
 He initially praised  Anthony Fauci  as a "pro" and lauded his role in combating the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Upon running for the Senate, however, Oz changed his tone on Fauci and referred to him as a "tyrant”.<br>
  Healthcare <br>
 In 2022, Oz said that he would vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act if he were elected to the Senate, and backed  Medicare Advantage Plus .<br>
 In contrast, in 2009, Oz said "It should be mandatory that everybody in America have healthcare coverage. If you can't afford it, we have to give it to you…"  And in 2010, Oz supported a government-backed healthcare system and was featured in an advertisement that promoted  The Affordable Care Act , also known as Obamacare.    Oz has said that the healthcare systems that he thinks work the best are Germany and Switzerland, which are both  universal healthcare systems .<br>
  Public reception <br><br>
 Oz has faced criticism for his promotion of  pseudoscience ,   homeopathy , and  alternative medicine .    Popular Science   and   The New Yorker    have published critical articles on Oz for giving "non-scientific" advice.    HuffPost   has accused Oz of promoting  quackery .<br>
 A 2014 study published in the  British Medical Journal  found that medical talk shows such as  The Dr. Oz Show  and   The Doctors   often lack adequate information on the specific benefits or evidence of their claims. Forty episodes of each program from early 2013 were evaluated, determining that evidence supported 46 percent, contradicted 15 percent, and was not found for 39 percent of the recommendations on  The Dr Oz Show .  Unfounded claims included saying apple juice had unsafe levels of arsenic and cell phones could cause breast cancer.<br>
 Oz was awarded the  James Randi Educational Foundation 's  Pigasus Award  three times from 2009 to 2012 for his promotion of energy therapies, support of  faith healing ,  psychic communication with the dead  and "quack medical practices, paranormal belief, and pseudoscience".<br>
 Oz has been criticized for the guests he has invited onto  The Dr. Oz Show , including psychics, faith healers, peddlers of unproven or disproven medical treatments, and anti-vaccination activists, including  Joseph Mercola ,  Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , and  Christiane Northrup <br>

  Dr. Oz is not just a money grubbing scammer, he is also a gigantic asshole who murdered puppies. <br>
 Fact Check: Was Dr. Oz Responsible for Cruelly Experimenting on Dogs?<br><br>
 <br>
 Allegations have circulated implicating Oz in the cruel treatment of animals at Columbia University. PEOPLE talked to a former Columbia employee and sifted through reports to clarify his role<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 By   Diane Herbst<br><br>
<br><br>
 Published on October 4, 2022<br><br>
 <br><br>
<br><br>
 PEOPLE spoke with veterinarian Catherine Dell'Orto, who says that within weeks of her start as a post-doctoral fellow in the research labs at Columbia's Institute of Comparative Medicine in July 2001, she was horrified by what she saw.<br>
 <br><br>
 Dell'Orto tells PEOPLE she witnessed the inhumane treatment of dogs in lab experiments investigating aspects of heart function over which Oz served in the role of "principal investigator" — including leaving dogs in pain and paralyzed for weeks, with no discernible research benefit, before they were euthanized or died.<br>
  "When someone makes the choice to use an animal in a research experiment they should be 100 percent committed to reducing any suffering that animal will experience," says Dell'Orto. "And I did not see that happening with Oz. I saw the opposite." <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  Columbia's website   says that when one is named principal investigator of a research study, he or she "has overall responsibility for safety and compliance in his or her laboratory." <br>
 Dell'Orto says she has no personal knowledge to support  online claims that research puppies cried out in pain as they were killed with no anesthesia. She says another lab worker, a veterinary technician whom she identified by name, claimed to have witnessed this, though PEOPLE has been unable to get in contact with the person alleged to be behind these claims.<br>
 <br><br>
 It is that veterinary technician's account, says Dell'Orto, which PETA relied upon in  a letter the group allegedly wrote to the USDA in 2003 . That letter recounted a complaint, from an unidentified whistle blower, that "a litter of fully conscious puppies" was placed in a plastic bag and killed with expired euthanasia medication injected directly into their hearts, and that the puppies "cried out as they received the IC injection" because it was done without any prior pain killer.<br>
 <br><br>
 But Oz himself is not mentioned in this letter, nor is he mentioned in the USDA's $2,000 settlement agreement with Columbia in 2004 — a settlement which explicitly states that Columbia neither admits nor denies the USDA's allegation.<br>
 Dell'Orto tells PEOPLE that before she resigned in February of 2003, she saw about 30 dogs upon whom research was performed as part of procedures for which Oz was principal investigator.<br>
 <br><br>
 She says she saw some of these dogs' chests opened so that pacemakers could be inserted into their hearts, "pacing them at a very high rate to induce heart failure."<br>
 <br><br>
 Then, she says, "they were doing different treatments to see what worked."<br>
 <br><br>
 "I didn't think it was good science," Dell'Orto says. "I didn't think the results that came from such experiments were worthy of adding to the scientific database. It was so poorly done."<br>
 <br><br>
  She says she also saw some of these dogs left paralyzed for days or weeks, apparently suffering and in pain before death via euthanasia. They'd lose more than 20% of their body weight and were left struggling to breathe, she says, adding that in her opinion, the study "was not designed" to promptly euthanize dogs at the point that the experiments became inhumane. <br>
 But her complaint led to several findings. An April 22, 2003, report by Columbia — which was obtained by PEOPLE — found that two of the three dogs used in Oz's research, for which Dell'Orto had provided records, received "inadequate or questionable veterinary care."<br>
 <br><br>
 One dog — whose chest was opened (called a sternotomy) and received radiofrequency ablation on July 17, 2002 — developed paralysis, lethargy, vomiting and renal failure, suffering for a week. But "the records do not show why the animal was kept alive" until euthanized a week later, on July 24.<br>
 <br><br>
 Another dog, which underwent the same procedure on July 11, 2002, "was in chronic distress (paralyzed in hindquarters)" but kept alive for 29 days until euthanized.<br>
 <br><br>
 "The records did not contain a rationale for keeping the animal alive in a paralyzed condition for a prolonged period of time," the investigative committee wrote.<br>

 <br>
  Mehmet Oz moved in with his wife's family in 2022 so he could establish residency in Pennsylvania.  Prior to that he lived in New Jersey (where he owns several houses).  He also owns a house in Florida. <br>
  Does New Jersey really need three senators? <br>

   NOTICE:  Lauren Boebert denies the allegations that she was a paid escort who had two abortions.  <br>
   Boebert also claims she is going to sue The American Muckrakers PAC for making those allegations.  <br>
  <br>
 Boebert wants a showdown with The American Muckrakers PAC<br>
 <br>
  The American Muckrakers PAC is the organization that posted the nude video of Madison Cawthorn that went viral and cost him his seat in Congress.  I doubt that Boebert will actually pursue  her lawsuit against them.  She wouldn't survive discovery and she would actually have to answer embarrassing questions. <br>
  There are lots of articles and YouTube videos about this Boebert story.  Here's a sample video: <br>
   <br>
   Read the press release at:  https://www.fireboebert.com/boebertabortions  <br>
  <br>
 Lauren Boebert displaying her "tramp stamp".<br>
  Disclosure:  I think prostitution should be legal.  I also think abortion should be legal.  Butt, if the allegations about Boebert are true, then she is a fucking hypocrite because she claims to be a "family values" Republican who opposes abortion. <br>
  And I want to ask everyone who opposes abortion to adopt at least one child.  There are over 400,000 children in foster care who would love to have a permanent home. <br>

 <br><br>
  Eric Greitens is the former Governor of Missouri.  Greitens  resigned from office in 2018  following a series of scandals. <br>
 <br>
   Why many Missouri Republicans fear Eric Greitens could win the state's Senate primary  <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 April 29, 20225:00 AM ET<br><br>

<br><br>
<br><br>
 <br><br>
 <br><br>
<br><br>
 He's hoping Missouri Republicans will flock to his message that emphasizes ties to former President Donald Trump's agenda and approach.<br>
 "We need fighters who are willing to do what it takes to take our country back," Greitens told  reporters back in February . "To take our country back from the left — and also fighters who are willing to take on the establishment, willing to take on the mainstream media."<br>
 But Greitens can't escape the shadow of scandal.<br>
 His ex-wife Sheena Greitens last month  filed legal documentation  in which she, under oath, accused the former governor of emotional and physical abuse.<br>
 He has denied her claims.<br>
 But combined with the  2018 allegations of sexual misconduct  and  campaign finance issues , some Republicans worry that if Greitens were to win the primary, it would place a Senate seat considered to be safely GOP in jeopardy.<br>
 "This messy, dark story"<br><br>
 When Sheena Greitens' under-oath statements became public, Kay Hoflander, a former Missouri GOP chair, says she had difficulty sleeping.<br>
 After two days, she decided to do something about it: She issued a statement calling for Greitens to get out of the race. And she said she was pleased when several other high-profile women involved with the state Republican Party  also called for him to exit the contest .<br>
 "Some day his children will see this messy, dark story about their family — and they need to know that there were people who stood up for their mom," Hoflander said in an interview.<br>
 Unlike 2018, Greitens, whose campaign didn't respond to a request for comment, has steadfastly refused to drop out of the Senate race.<br>
 Instead, he's claimed without evidence that his ex-wife is involved in a scheme involving  prominent Republicans like Karl Rove and Mitch McConnell . Both Greitens and his campaign amplified this message — which Sheena Greitens' attorney called a " conspiracy theory " — in friendly media interviews, including with former Trump aide Steve Bannon.<br>
 Sheena Greitens  said she has documentation to back up her claims  — which are playing out in front of a judge to move divorce-related proceedings to Texas.<br>
 Other notable Republicans, including Missouri U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, have called for Greitens to depart from the contest. "If you hit a woman or a child, you belong in handcuffs, not the United States Senate,"  Hawley tweeted in March. <br>

  Greitens is a piece of steaming fecal matter.  Naturally, he is actively courting Trump's endorsement.  Butt that's not why I'm publishing this article. Eric Greitens has just released an extremely disturbing political advertisement.  It's MUCH more deplorable than a typical attack ad; it's a fucking death threat ad: <br>

  OMG!!! <br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  Ted Cruz is shooting his mouth off again.  Cruz said the killing of nineteen innocent fourth graders at Robb Elementary School In Uvalde Texas is "politically suspicious".  He said Democrats are already using the deaths of those poor young children to campaign in the upcoming midterm elections.  He said "AOC is already signaling that the Democrats intend to make dead children the centerpiece of their campaigns." <br>
 AOC says it's 'internationally embarrassing' the US had 288 school shootings while other G7 countries saw just 5 in the same 10-year period<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>

<br><br>
 Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday characterized the rate of school shootings in the US as a mark of global shame.<br>
 Addressing Becky Pringle, the president of the National Education Association during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on gun violence, the New York Democrat asked, "Between 2009 and 2018, how many school shootings did the United States have?"<br>
 "288," Pringle responded. <br>
 Ocasio-Cortez then asked how many school shootings the US' G7 partners — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the UK — collectively had during the same period. "Five," Pringle said. That means that between 2009 and 2018 the US saw  57 times more school shootings  than other G7 countries combined.<br>
 https://www.businessinsider.com/aoc-says-rate-of-school-shootings-in-us-internationally-embarrassing-2022-6<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
  Cruz, who was born in Canada, said, "AOC should go back where she came from." BTW, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx (New York City). <br>
  Cruz said he questions the "timing" of the school shooting.  He said it's "convenient" that the shooting occurred as the midterm campaign season is beginning.  Cruz said he wouldn't be surprised if the investigation turns up evidence that the shooter was a Democrat.  And Cruz said the shooting has "thrown a monkey wrench" into his own legislative strategy.  Because of this unfortunate incident, I am having to postpone a major piece of gun legislation that I was about to introduce in the Senate. <br>
  Cruz had planned to introduce his new "Machine Gun Law" on the Fourth of July.  The law would have issued licenses for fully automatic weapons to any White person who is a registered Republican.  Cruz said this will make it possible for "good Americans" to protect their families from vicious prairie dogs, rabid raccoons and deranged Democrats.  Cruz said it will also make it possible for his constituents to enjoy his favorite breakfast - "machine gun bacon". <br>
   <br>
 <br>
  According to Cruz, anyone who opposes his Machine Gun Law is a bacon hating unAmerican Democrat.  I'll just wait until after the midterm elections.  When Republicans take over both houses of Congress, my bill will easily pass.  We will win by such a huge majority that we can also override a Biden veto. <br>

                <title><![CDATA[The Banned Played On: The REAL Reason Madison Cawthorn Lost - Republican Kompromat  - @al-jizzerror]]></title>
                <link>http://thenewstalkers.com/al-jizzerror/group_discuss/15781/the-real-reason-madison-cawthorn-lost-republican-komcrat</link>
                <guid>http://thenewstalkers.com/al-jizzerror/group_discuss/15781</guid>
                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  I watched the primary results live.  I flipped around all night and all of the news networks covered Madison Cawthorn's  loss  in North Cacalacky.   <br>
  They all mentioned Cawthorn's  multiple  scandals.  There were several videos of Cawthorn receiving traffic tickets (including speeding, driving with expired tags and even driving with a revoked license).  They mentioned that he got busted  twice  trying to board an airplane with a hand gun.  Cawthorn has also called Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “thug,”  One network even mentioned a photo of Madison Cawthorn wearing lingerie in what appears to be a party setting.  On January 6th Cawthorn took the stage and spoke to the insurrections shortly before they invaded the Capitol. <br>
   <br>
   Butt, they all agreed that his worst "sin" was his statement that he personally witnessed senior Republican Congressmen snort lines of cocaine and he said they invited him to their "orgies".   <br>
  Actually, that was NOT Cawthorn's  worst  sin.  It was NOT even close. <br>
  The BBC went further because brits love sex scandals. <br>
  Here's some of the BBC's coverage of Madison Cawthorn: <br>
  Even Mr Cawthorn's most powerful backer, Donald Trump, was said to be wary of the acolyte who had ridden the former president's "Make America Great Again" coattails to office - though a day before the primary he mused that the congressman had "made some foolish mistakes, which I don't believe he'll make again" and deserved a second chance <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 But Mr Cawthorn's political career has never been short of controversy.<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 He raised eyebrows in 2020 with social media posts bragging about visiting Hitler's holiday home. (He called the Nazi leader "a supreme evil", but angered Jewish leaders by referring to him as "the Fuhrer".)<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 He praised rioters who descended upon the US Capitol to overturn Joe Biden's election and apparently lied about having been admitted to the US Naval Academy.  <br>
  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61488082 <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 <br>
   WARNING THIS VIDEO CLIP IS DISGUSTING!  <br>
   IT IS A VIDEO OF "MADDIE" CAWTHORN ENJOYING HOMOSEXUAL INCEST.  <br>
   THIS MAY EVEN BE A SEXUAL ASSAULT.  <br>
  There is no evidence that Cawthorn's male first cousin is a consenting adult. <br>
  Here's the disgusting video: <br>
  https://videos.files.wordpress.com/QhfyedR3/mc-rep.-cawthorn-grunting-and-dry-humping-nude-1-1-4.mp4 <br>
 <br>
  Here's more from the BBC: <br>
  The United States' youngest congressman has said he won't "back down" after a naked video of him in bed was leaked. <br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 Madison Cawthorn, 26, said the video showed him "being crass with a friend, trying to be funny".<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 "We were acting foolish, and joking. That's it," he said. "I'm NOT backing down...blackmail won't win."<br>
 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61341641<br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 <br>
  I don't think most of us jump on top of our cousins naked and thrust our genitals in their faces.    I won't mention his disgustingly hairy ass (or is that a tail?). <br>
  Here's some interesting quotations from Madison "Hypocrite" Cawthorn:  <br>
 “I was raised on Proverbs and pushups,” Cawthorn  said  in a podcast in September 2020.<br>
 “I subscribe to Judeo-Christian beliefs,” he  continued . “I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I think if you think about my political ideology, where it really stems from, you know, my ethics and my morals and what I think is right and wrong, you look to ancient Jerusalem, you got ancient Judeo-Christian values. So right and wrong,” he continued. “I also cling to a lot of traditional values and a lot of traditional ideas, because they’ve worked in the past.”<br>
 “I think that we have bred a generation of soft men and that generation has created a lot of problems in our society and our culture,” he  said  in March 2021 on a podcast “designed to reclaim and restore masculinity in a society that is ever more dismissive of what it means to be a man.”<br>
 “There’s only one God and two genders,” he  said  in a tweet earlier this week.<br>
 https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/22/madison-cawthorn-photos-00027286<br>
  I'm glad that Madison "Hell on Wheels" Cawthorn lost his primary.  The fact that the race was close is disturbing.  According to the AP call, Edwards had received more than 33% of the vote, to Cawthorn's nearly 32% of the vote. <br>
  The nasty scandals that likely caused Maddie Cawthorn to lose his seat were brought to light by his fellow Republicans during the primary.  I love it when Republicans destroy each other. <br>

There is a shortage of baby formula in the US.  Butt, the so-called baby formula shown by Hannity was actually NIDO® products. There is no shortage of NIDO® products (clearly marked "for ages 1-3) at the grocery store.<br>
Fox uses disinformation to cause outrage among their viewers.  Fucker Carlson uses "replacement" bullshit to provoke White supremacists.  We saw the impact of Carlson's replacement theory in Buffalo where a White supremacist committed mass murder.<br>
The disinformation spewed by Fox News causes dangerous outrage.  <br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
 Twitter famously banned Donald Trump from Twitter for "inciting violence".<br>
 Twitter also banned me for being a "bot".  I was on Twitter for about a week.  I posted about twenty of my original memes.  I never repeated anything.  They knew I wasn't a bot.  They gave me a link that I could use to get reinstated.  The link took me to a form to fill out for Google.  All had to do was give all of my personal information to Google.  I had no interest in doing that so I refused.  Apparently, Twitter is paid by Google to provide users' personal information to Google.  I guess that's is a big part of Twitter's revenue stream.<br>
 Anyway, Mr. "Free Speech" Musk, wants the White-wingers to return to Twitter, so he is going to put their Queen back on the Twitter throne.  I'm glad!<br>
 Giving the bullhorn back to the loudmouth will motivate the Democrats to turnout and vote.  A large turnout always helps the Democrats.  I know Trump will alienate more voters than he motivates.   I bet Moscow Mitch shit his pants  when he heard about Trump's impending return to Twitter.  I just hope The Donald writes his own tweets.<br>

  Okay I'm calling bullshit.  Actually I'm calling cow shit  cow  shit since it comes from dairies (and it's rather difficult to milk bulls).  Cow poop can be turned into energy. <br>
  <br>
  If you think it's a good idea to transition to  renewable  sources of energy, you may like this stock pick:   CLNE (Clean Energy Fuels Corp.)  <br>
  Many of the eighteen wheelers on the highway now use LNG (liquid natural gas) instead of dirty stinky diesel.  This change reduces emissions butt some of the LNG is produced by fracking (which is NOT environmentally friendly).  CLNE is producing RNG (renewable natural gas) mostly from cow manure.  CLNE was only $5.79/share at 2:10 PM and it closed at $6.28/share.  It's a very affordable stock.  CLNE is a California company so, naturally, conservatives won't invest in it.  <br>
  Business Summary <br>
 Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is a renewable energy company. The Company is focused on the procurement and distribution of renewable natural gas (RNG) and conventional natural gas, in the form of compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), for the United States and Canadian transportation markets.  It is focused on developing, owning, and operating dairy and other livestock waste RNG projects and supplying RNG to its customers in the heavy and medium -duty commercial transportation sector.  The Company also designs and builds, as well as operates and maintains, public and private vehicle fueling stations in the United States and Canada; sells and services compressors and other equipment used in RNG production and at fueling stations; transports and sells CNG and LNG via virtual natural gas pipelines and interconnects; sells United States federal, state and local government credits (Environmental Credits) it generates by selling RNG as a vehicle fuel. - from Charles Schwab <br>
   Invest in some good shit - CLNE. <br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  The winningest Coach In NCAA history LOST the last game he will ever coach at Cameron Indoor Sanitarium.  The Dook players and the "Cameron Crazies" (AKA "Smurfs") caused major water damage to the dilapidated basketball court with their tears.  Dook Coach Mike Shitheadski said, " I'm sorry about this afternoon, it's unacceptable. "  Almost 100 of Shitheadski's former players were holding their crying towels over their eyes as they left the tiny gym.  The Dook students (AKA "Spoiled Brats) had tear stained blue paint running down their faces. <br>
  North Carolina showed once again why its rivalry with Duke is among the greatest in all of sports. It spoiled Mike Krzyzewski's final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium with a 94-81 upset the over fourth-ranked Blue Devils on Saturday. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basketball/news/duke-unc-live-score-highlights-coach-k-last-game/fk1ukm7bb93pzxdp6ay0yocc94 <br>
  "I'm sorry about this afternoon," Krzyzewski said addressing the sellout crowd. "... it's unacceptable. Today was unacceptable, but the season has been very acceptable."   https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/05/sport/tar-heels-defeat-blue-devils/index.html <br>
  Dook (AKA University of South Jersey) is in Durham, North Carolina.  The Yankee fans were extremely disappointed tonight.  North Carolina is sometimes called "the shoulder of the nation".  That makes Durham "the armpit".  Dook is a "wannabe Ivy League school" butt Dook is actually more of a "Poison Ivy League school". <br>
  Duke gets its name from a horrible tobacco baron.  Duke's huge endowment came from carcinogenic "blood (and sputum) money".  So, yes, Duke IS a killer university. <br>
  This is a box of "Duke of Durham" cigarettes from the 1880s: <br>
  <br>
  Packs of Duke Of Durham cigarettes looked like this until they were discontinued in 1966: <br>
  <br>
 <br>
  Among the "celebrities" in attendance last night were:  Tim Cook, Adam Silver, Todd Gurley, 9th Wonder, Ken Jeong, Dirk Nowitzki, Kyler Murray, Nick Nurse, Terrell Owens, Joc Pederson and Jerry Seinfeld.  Jerry Seinfeld said, "It must have been truly thrilling to spend $250,000 to get a ticket, bet thousands of dollars on Duke   and then fly all the way to Durham, North Cackalacky to watch your team lose to their bitter rival." <br>
  Tickets for last night's game were the most expensive for a regular season game in sports history.  Tickets eclipsed the price of Super Bowl tickets.  I watched it (and DVR'ed it) for free on ESPN.  <br>
  <br>
  UNC may have two more chances to defeat Dook.  The two schools may face each other in the upcumming ACC Tournament.  And it's possible that Carolina may have the opportunity to knock Dook out of the NCAA Tournament. <br>
  This was the latest ruling from the United States Supreme Court: <br>

  Lauren "Bobble Head" Boebert and Marjorie Taylor "Jewish Lasers" Greene thought it was appropriate to heckle President Biden during the State of the Union Address.  They (unsuccessfully) tried to start a "build the wall" chant and shouted insults during the speech. <br>
     <br>
 Lauren Boebert Thrashed for Heckling Biden’s State of the Union: ‘Needs to Be Expelled From Congress’<br><br>
<br><br>
 Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene were likened to the characters of ”Dumb &amp; Dumber“<br>

 <br><br>
<br><br>
 Congresswoman Lauren Boebert made serious efforts to derail   President Biden’s State of the Union   address on Tuesday night, heckling him as he spoke. But she was met with booing on the House floor, and some hostile words <br><br>
<br><br>
 <br><br>

  Lauren Boebert is an intellectually challenged Retrumplican who is admired by her fellow ammosexuals.  Boebert was a slut in high school and she dropped out to have a baby.  Naturally, Boebert advocates the elimination of the Department of Education.  She and her husband own a restaurant, "Shooters Grill" in Rifle, Colorado.  Employees are urged to openly carry firearms at Shooters Grill.  The Boeberts also owned "Smokehouse 1776" in Rifle, Colorado. <br>
  A conservative often described in the press as  far-right  and an ally of former president  Donald Trump ,   Boebert had close ties with far-right groups such as  QAnon , whose conspiracy theories she promotes, and praised the  Proud Boys    . This, together with offensive remarks she has made to members of other religions, make her a controversial figure in Congress. Boebert supports Trump's false claims that the  2020 election  was stolen from him,  voted to overturn its results  during the  Electoral College vote count , and supported the rioters who  stormed the Capitol  in protest of what they saw as election fraud. She is a staunch supporter of gun rights, and regularly carries a  firearm  to her workplace in the Capitol. Boebert opposes measures intended to prevent the spread of  COVID-19 , and posted  misinformation  related to  face masks  and  COVID-19 vaccines . She opposes transition to  green energy , advocating  nuclear power  and the extraction of  fossil fuels  instead, and prefers an  isolationist  approach to foreign relations. As a  traditionalist , she opposes any recognition of other  marriages  than  heterosexual  as well as gender-affirmative procedures for  transsexuals ,  abortion and  sex education . In line with most Republicans, she seeks to ban elements of school curricula that contain what she says is " critical race theory " and advocates  minimizing   immigration to the United States . <br>
 ____________<br>
  In 2017, 80 people who attended a  Garfield County  fair contracted food poisoning after eating pork  sliders  from a temporary location set up by Shooters Grill and Smokehouse 1776. The restaurants did not have the required permits to operate the temporary location, and the Garfield County health department determined that the outbreak was caused by unsafe food handling at the event <br>
 ____________   <br>
  In mid-May 2020, during the   COVID-19 pandemic  , Boebert violated the state's   stay-at-home order   by reopening Shooters Grill for dine-in service.     She received a   cease and desist   order from Garfield County but said she would not close her business.     The next day she moved tables outside, onto the sidewalk, and in parking spaces.     The following day, Garfield County suspended her food license.     By late May, with the state allowing restaurants to reopen at 50% capacity, the county dropped its temporary restraining order. <br>

  <br>
  <br>
  Please don't forget the other mental midget who heckled President Biden during the State of the Union Address, Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Greene  had attended a Nazi rally the day before so she was pumped up for the State of the Union Address. <br>
  Marjorie Taylor Greene should be excused for acting like an animal because she IS an animal.  Greene is a rare Four Toed Sloth.  Here's the proof.  Even her extensive plastic surgery can't hide the truth.  Look at her feet (especially her  toes ). <br>
  <br>
  And check out her baby picture (which has never been published before). <br>
  <br>
  MTG, Like Boebert, fully endorses Trump's "Big Lie".  They also spread COVID disinformation. <br>
  <br>
  Just say NO! to Retrumplicans. <br>

                <guid>http://thenewstalkers.com/al-jizzerror/group_discuss/14965</guid>
                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  Yep, Trump's terrorists should be charged with  SEDITION . <br>
   "Investigative Research and Analysis Report" (21-TD-159) highlighted  a posting on the now-defunct blog thedonald.win  which referenced tunnels on Capitol grounds used by Members of   Congress   (and particularly important for continuity of government evacuations).  The report attached an underground map of the Capitol campus that was posted onllne.  "There are tunnels connected to the Capitol Building! Legislators use them to avoid press, among other things! Take note," the blog posted.  <br>
  The intelligence report then went to flag "several comments promote confronting members of Congress and carrying firearms during the protest." The report contained approximately  30 screen shots of comments on the thedonald.win website , including: 
 
    "Bring guns. It's now or never."  <br>
  "Surround every building with a tunnel entrance/exit. They better dig a tunnel all the way to China if they want to escape." <br>
  "Exactly, forget the tunnels. Get into Capitol Building, stand outside congress. Be in the room next to them. They wont [sic] have time [to] run if they play dumb." <br>
  "Deploy [sic] Capitol Police to restrict [their] movement.  Anyone going armed needs to be mentally prepared to draw down on LEOs.  Let them shoot first, but make sure they know what happens if they do." <br>
  "If they don't show up, we enter the Capitol as the Third Continental Congress and certify the Trump Electors." <br>
  "If a million patriots who [sic, show] up bristling with AR's [AR-15 rifles], just how brave do you think they'll be when it comes to enforcing their unconstitutional laws?  Don't cuck out. This is do or die.  <br>
   "Bring your guns."  <br>
 <br>
   "https://www.newsweek.com/this-day-donald-trump-supporters-were-openly-threatening-capitol-1658202 <br>
  I hope the Justice Department does a serious investigation of "the donald.win" participants.  There are many other Internet sites where White-wing insurrectionists planned the Capitol invasion.  The communications on those sites should be carefully examined. <br>
  Most of the people who participated in the Jan. 6th planning have not been arrested nor have they been charged with a crime.  They have been emboldened and they may attempt another (possibly bloody) insurrection.  The crazy White-wingers are probably waiting for orders from their fearful leader.  The Donald is planning a new Jan. 6th event at Mar-a-Lago.  I know he will praise last year's Jan. 6th insurrectionists as "patriots".  I just hope there is no call for similar action. <br>
  The crazy Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, 3%ers and Boogaloo idiots are well armed and "standing by".  They are itching for a fight.  Trump refused to ask them to stand down during the Presidential Debate.  I hope he doesn't try to use his rag-tag militia.  Unfortunately, The Donald has never demonstrated much restraint.  And I'm sure Trump wants to make his Mar-a-Lago rally newsworthy. <br>
  <br>
  I think it's very revealing that the seditionists used the term cuck when they talked about bringing guns.  Many of use believe that White-wingers guns are compensation for having tiny dicks.  I hope Trump's terrorists do "cuck out".  I hope also The Donald "cucks out".  There is photographic evidence that Trump is a cuck. <br>

                <link>http://thenewstalkers.com/al-jizzerror/group_discuss/14949/paleolithic-pornography-discovered</link>
                <guid>http://thenewstalkers.com/al-jizzerror/group_discuss/14949</guid>
                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
 Stone Age Venus figurines are the Earliest Examples of 3D Porn<br><br>
  <br>
  The article below is an indication of how uptight PhDs pretend not to notice that all of the statuettes are  naked women with huge breasts and gigantic butts.   My theory is that the many of the women depicted in the figurines were the girlfriends of Stone Age rap artists. <br>
  The Venus figurines are statuettes depicting obese women that, up until now, were thought to have been associated with fertility and beauty. A recent study published in "Obesity" has suggested instead that the figurines are totems of survival in extreme conditions. <br>
  Unlike the challenges of global warming people face today, humans 38,000 to 14,000 years ago struggled with colder temperatures due to advancing glaciers. <br>
  Fat is a form of stored energy, said study author Dr. Richard Johnson, Tomas Berl professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and that fat can be lifesaving when food is not available, especially to pregnant women. <br>
  "Our studies suggest these figurines did not represent sexual totems, or a representation of male desire, but rather as a means for providing strength to motherhood even in the most adverse situations," Johnson said. <br>
  The researchers took waist-hip and waist-shoulder measurements of all known Venus figurines, which were found over hundreds of years across Europe and western Russia. After comparing the measurements to the geographical locations of where each sculpture was found, the team discovered that the more obese figurines were found further north near the glaciers.  <br>
  https://www.cnn.com/style/article/venus-figurines-theory-scn/index.html <br>
  If "Global Cooling" caused women to have such overinflated figures, maybe "Global Warming" isn't such a bad thing after all.  The archeologists also discovered inscriptions on the bottom of some of the figurines.  One inscription was:"I like big butts and I cannot lie".  The inscription on another figurine was:  "Baby got back".  A third inscription was:  "Big old titties". <br>
  It's quite evident that the statuettes are intended to be pornographic.  Take a close look at the detail of the vagina on this figurine.  The sculpture features open labia and even a hooded clitoris.  The breasts lack prominent nipples butt they are extremely large.  The faces are hidden to protect the identities of the models. <br>
  <br>
  I think there is even evidence that these Stone Age artists were into anal sex.  Anal sex kinda stinks butt who am I to judge ancient kink? <br>
  <br>
  Please notice that the statue is propped up using the anus. <br>
  I don't know why the archeologists ignored the obvious sexual nature of the figurines.  I think some intellectuals have sticks up their butts just like the statuette above.  They should take out their butt sticks and admit that humans have always enjoyed porn.  I know these statuettes don't seem so sexy now, butt those women were probably very desirable 38,000 years ago. <br>
  <br>

                <title><![CDATA[The Banned Played On: Melanoma Trump Launches New Endeavor - NFT Platform - @al-jizzerror]]></title>
                <link>http://thenewstalkers.com/al-jizzerror/group_discuss/14937/melanoma-trumps-launches-new-endeavor-nft-platform</link>
                <guid>http://thenewstalkers.com/al-jizzerror/group_discuss/14937</guid>
                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  From CNN: <br>
<br><br>
 (CNN) - Melania Trump is getting in on the latest crypto craze --  NFTs .<br>
<br><br>
 The former first lady announced Thursday that she is selling an NFT, or a non-fungible token, titled "Melania's Vision" -- her first public endeavor since leaving office almost one year ago.<br><br>
 <br><br>
 The NFT is the first digital art to be sold on her newly launched platform, which will release NFTs regularly and is powered by Parler.<br><br>
 "I am proud to announce my new NFT endeavor, which embodies my passion for the arts, and will support my ongoing commitment to children through my Be Best initiative," Trump said in a statement. "Through this new technology-based platform, we will provide children computer science skills, including programming and software development, to thrive after they age out of the foster community.  "https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/16/politics/melania-trump-nft/index.html<br><br>
 <br><br>
  Melania's Vision is a "watercolor" of Melanoma's eyes painted by French artist Marc-Antoine Coulon.  The rendering features Melanoma's outstanding cosmetic eye surgery and her false eyelashes.  The description says the "breathtaking watercolor embodies Melania Trump’s  cobalt blue  eyes, providing the collector with an amulet to inspire....”  COBALT BLUE?  STFU!  I demand a retraction! <br><br>
 <br><br>
  <br><br>
 <br><br>
 <br><br>
 <br><br>
  Maybe Melanoma's next NFT will feature her fake boobs.  I noticed Melanoma's "art" can be purchased using a cryptocurrency called "Solana".  I wonder if she has an investment in Solana?  Melanoma's NFT platform is powered by Parler (a White-wing "free speech" platform popular with Trump's Jan 6th insurrectionists). <br><br>
 <br><br>
  Other celebrities also have NFTs for sale.  NFTs have become a popular (lucrative) "art form".  For instance Paris Hilton thinks NFTs are "hot".  In a recent interview she said: <br><br>
 <br><br>
  “NFTs have literally taken over my entire mind and soul,” she tells me. “I’m obsessed. It’s all I think about. I've never been so excited about something in my life because I really see this as the future. I'm just so obsessed with it that I actually have dreams about it every single night.”  https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/04/16/im-obsessed-paris-hilton-on-nfts-empowering-female-creators-and-the-future-of-art/ <br><br>
 <br><br>
  Here is a Paris Hilton NFT (Please notice the BMW logo in her crotch): <br><br>
 <br><br>
  <br><br>
 <br><br>
  I understand 43 year old quarterback Tom Brady is planning to release an NFT of his deflated balls.  This has inspired Anthony Weiner who wants to release an NFT of his wiener.  Weiner said, "My wiener deserves more exposure.  Lots of teenage girls didn't see my original dick pics and I owe it to them to release some new NFT dick pics."  Anthony Weiner's ex-wife, Huma Abedin, was asked to comment and explain why she stayed married to Weiner for so long after the scandal. <br>
 <br>

  * This meme may seem out of place in this article butt I owe it to my biggest fan (a NJ person) to include a new meme in every article from now on. <br>

                <title><![CDATA[The Banned Played On: Excerpts from Kevin McCarthy’s  Fake “Filibuster” - @al-jizzerror]]></title>
                <link>http://thenewstalkers.com/al-jizzerror/group_discuss/14597/excerpts-from-kevin-mccarthys-fake-filibuster</link>
                <guid>http://thenewstalkers.com/al-jizzerror/group_discuss/14597</guid>
                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
  Kevin McCarthy has decided that Steve Bannon’s legal strategy can be used to delay the passage of The Build Back Better Act.  Filibustering is NOT permitted in the House of Representatives butt Kevin McCarthy has no respect for Congressional procedures.  Like the rest of the Retrumplican Party the use of stalling tactics is now standard obstructionism procedure. <br><br>
 <br><br>
  McCarthy is continuing his campaign to be Speaker of the House. <br><br>
 <br><br>
  <br><br>
 <br><br>
  Let’s skip ahead to page 42 of the McCarthy fake filibuster: <br><br>
 <br><br>
    “The Congressional Budget Office, along with the Department of the Treasury, has determined that The Build Back Better Act would not increase the federal deficit.  This is because of increased tax burden on taxpayers who will bear the burden of this expensive waste of money.  Taxpayers are already paying too much in taxes”  <br><br>
 <br><br>
  From page 69: <br><br>
 <br><br>
   “People who make over $10 million a year would be force to pay a surcharge for every dollar over $10 million in a year.  And get this:  The surcharge is increased for people who make over $20 million in a year.  It’s obvious that this bill discriminates against rich Republicans”.  <br><br>
 <br><br>
  From page 420: <br><br>
 <br><br>
   "This Act will add 87,000 new IRS agents to catch tax cheats.  This is completely partisan.  The majority of tax cheats are rich Republicans.  We need to protect them from IRS agents.  It's simply not fair to target rich Republicans when some people living in poverty are paying no taxes."   <br><br>
 <br><br>
  From page 666: <br><br>
 <br><br>
   “The child tax credit  included in this Act will cause a population explosion among minorities because everyone will be able to feed their children.  This, along with immigration policy, as  Tucker Carlson has pointed, out is how Democrats will carry out their “cultural replacement plan”.  According to the census report, the fastest growing segments of the population are minorities who will     probably vote against racist Republican Candidates.  That's why voter suppression is critical for our Party."   <br><br>
 <br><br>
   Apparently, after spewing hour of bullshit, extreme fatigue began to affect Kevin McCarthy and he waxed poetic.  He probably thought he was reading  Green Eggs and Ham .  <br><br>
   From page 3,657:  <br><br>
 <br><br>
    "Mary had a little lamb   <br><br>
    it’s fleece was White as snow.   <br><br>
    Mary wears a MAGA hat   <br><br>
    her Party"s White, you know."   <br><br>
        <br><br>
    "Jane had a billy goat   <br><br>
    who’s fleece was   black as ink.   <br><br>
   So, Mary’s MAGAs murdered Billy  <br><br>
   because they fuckin’ stink."  <br><br>
 <br><br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
 At a GOP rally in Virginia a woman was introduced with a LIE.  "She's carrying a flag that was carried at  the peaceful rally with Donald J. Trump on January 6th." <br>
   <br>
 ThIs ridiculous lie was told by a woman standing in front of a big poster that said  "GODZILLA OF TRUTH." <br>
 Everyone knows that Godzilla is a fucking liar and a bully.  That's where the phrase "the big lie" originated.  Godzilla said he just got some sushi in Tokyo.  Godzilla said the damage was actually caused by an earthquake.  Godzilla said he may run for President of Japan in 2024 and he told The Loud Boys to "stand back and get bullhorns."  Godzilla is a dangerous autocrat.  If Godzilla is elected as the Japanese President, I fear it will be the end of Democracy in Japan.  Unfortunately, if Godzilla loses he may destroy Japan out of revenge.  Godzilla said if he doesn't get elected it will be the biggest election fraud in the history of the universe.<br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
 Today is Columbus Day.  The banks, post offices and schools are closed to "celebrate".<br>
 Butt Columbus did NOT discover America.  Columbus never made it to North America.  He crossed the Atlantic Ocean four times.  He was the first European to see the Bahamas and he landed on (and named) Hispaniola Island (where The Dominican Republic and Haiti are located).  He also made it to South and Central America.  While on Hispaniola he kidnaped a woman and let his crew rape her. <br>
  After an attack by more than 2,000 Indians, Columbus had an underling, Alonso de Ojeda, bring him three Indian leaders, whom Columbus then ordered publicly beheaded. Ojeda also ordered his men to grab another Indian, bring him to the middle of his village, and "'cut off his ears' in retribution for the Indians' failing to be helpful to the Spaniards when fording a stream. <br>
  "The Indians destroyed their stores of bread so that neither they nor the invaders would be able to eat it. They plunged off cliffs, they poisoned themselves with roots, and they starved themselves to death. Oppressed by the impossible requirement to deliver tributes of gold, the Indians were no longer able to tend their fields, or care for their sick, children, and elderly. They had given up and committed mass suicide to avoid being killed or captured by Christians, and to avoid sharing their land with them, their fields, groves, beaches, forests, and women: the future of their people. <br>
 While paling in comparison to his crimes against Caribs and Taino Indians, Columbus's rule over Spanish settlers was also brutal. He ordered at least a dozen Spaniards "to be whipped in public, tied by the neck, and bound together by the feet" for trading gold for food to avoid starvation. He ordered a woman's tongue cut out for having "spoken ill of the Admiral and his brothers."<br>
 Another woman was "stripped and placed on the back of a donkey … to be whipped" as punishment for falsely claiming to be pregnant. He "ordered Spaniards to be hanged for stealing bread".<br>
  He even ordered the ears and nose cut off one miscreant, who was also whipped, shackled, and banished from the island. He ordered a cabin boy's hand nailed in public to the spot where he had pulled a trap from a river and caught a fish. Whippings for minor infractions occurred with alarming frequency. Columbus ordered one wrongdoer to receive a hundred lashes — which could be fatal — for stealing sheep, and another for lying about the incident. An unlucky fellow named Juan Moreno received a hundred lashes for failing to gather enough food for Columbus's pantry. <br>
 This one he admitted himself in a  letter to Doña Juana de la Torre , a friend of the Spanish queen: "There are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand, and for all ages a good price must be paid."  <br>
 Benjamin Keen, a historian of the Spanish conquest of the Americas,  noted  that multiple sources confirmed accounts of "exhausted Indian carriers, chained by the neck, whose heads the Spaniards severed from their bodies so they might not have to stop to untie them."<br>

 Columbus started the genocide of indigenous people, forced conversion to Christianity, the slave trade in the New World and child sex trafficking. <br>
 So what did Columbus achieve?  Columbus could not finance his adventures.  He travelled all over Europe butt he could not get the funding he needed.  Columbus managed to get Queen Isabels family jewels.  He must have been an extremely successful gigolo.<br>
 There were lots of people in America centuries before Columbus was born.  Where did they come from?  They crossed into Alaska from Asia using the Bering Land Bridge.  They were the Clovis and Pre-Clovis people who eventually populated North and South America.  The first Europeans to reach North America were probably the Vikings.<br>
 Let's celebrate " Indigenous People's Day " instead of "Columbus Day".<br>

 President Joe Biden declared October 11 Indigenous Peoples' Day.<br>
<br>
<br>
 Biden acknowledged in a  Columbus Day proclamation  that European explorers harmed Native Americans.<br>
<br>
<br>
 On Friday, the Biden administration restored protections for two national monuments in Utah.<br>
<br>
 <br>
  Following years of campaigning by Native Americans for federal recognition, President Joe Biden issued the first presidential proclamation of Indigenous Peoples' Day, which he declared would be observed on October 11 in honor of America's first inhabitants.<br>
 "Since time immemorial, American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians have built vibrant and diverse cultures - safeguarding land, language, spirit, knowledge, and tradition across the generations,"  a White House proclamation release from Biden said .<br>
 Although Indigenous Peoples' Day will be celebrated on the same date as Columbus Day, Biden acknowledged the atrocities inflicted on Indigenous communities by European explorers  in another proclamation  and urged the country not to try and bury "shameful episodes of our past."<br>
 "For Native Americans, western exploration ushered in a wave of devastation: violence perpetrated against Native communities, displacement and theft of Tribal homelands, the introduction and spread of disease, and more,"  a White House proclamation from Biden said.  "On this day, we recognize this painful past and recommit ourselves to investing in Native communities, upholding our solemn and sacred commitments to Tribal sovereignty, and pursuing a brighter future centered on dignity, respect, justice, and opportunity for all people."<br>
 Biden also announced Friday that  his administration will restore protections for the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah, as well two monuments in New England.<br>
 "This may be the easiest thing I've ever done so far as President," Biden said Friday during a speech outside the White House.<br>
 Former President Donald Trump had previously revoked protections for thousands of acres across the four monuments,  Indian Country Today reported , which opened them up to mining, commercial fishing, and other developments.<br>
 "Today's announcement, it's not just about national monuments. It's about this administration centering the voices of Indigenous people and affirming the shared stewardship of this landscape with tribal nations,"  said Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland , a citizen of the Laguna Pueblo nation.<br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
 Benjamin Franklin was a genius.  He literally captured “lightning in a bottle”.  We all know the story of how he flew a kite during a thunderstorm and had his kite string attached (using a key) to a Leyden jar.  Here is a famous image: <br>
  <br>
 The image is NOT accurate.  Franklin knew how dangerous this experiment was; so the child in the picture actually flew the kite.  As a result, the child (Franklin’s “protege”) was rendered unconscious and was comatose for an unknown period of time.  The child, Howard Hymen, convalesced in Franklin’s home for months.  Naturally, Franklin supervised the care of young Howard.  Franklin invented oral hyperalimentation fluid to keep Howard alive until he regained consciousness.  Franklin mixed milk with honey and toasted flour which was fed to Howard using baby bottles with nipples used to feed calves.  Fortunately, the child’s strong sucking reflex facilitated this method.<br>
 Benjamin Franklin was a pervert (1).  Franklin may have taken advantage of Howard’s sucking reflex and introduced semen into the child’s diet.  Young Howard thrived and he made a remarkable recovery and he eventually lived over 100 years.<br>
 When Howard reached puberty, he was constantly in trouble for having sex with underage girls.  Howard’s wealthy parents were constantly buying off the outraged parents of the little girls.  Howard’s friend’s began calling him “Buster” because his last name was “Hymen”.  Eventually, the Chief of Police in Philadelphia paid a visit to Howard and his father and provided evidence that Howard had raped several little girls.  Mr. Hymen pointed out that being struck by lightning had “changed” his son so he shouldn’t be prosecuted.  The Chief gladly accepted a large bribe butt he still advised Mr. Hymen that his son Howard should leave town.<br>
 So Mr. Hymen decided to send his son away.  He told his son to go South and try to find a way to earn a living.  So, at 17 years old, Howard went to Kentucky.  Howard found a beautiful old plantation that was being auctioned off because it went bankrupt.  Howard’s father came to Kentucky and he bought the plantation lock, stocks and barrels.  The locks and stocks were used to punish the slaves that were part of the plantation and the barrels were used in the plantation’s whiskey business.<br>
 Howard did not know how to run a plantation so he found a local overseer who he immediately hired when he heard that the overseer was a bootlegger who preferred sex with underage girls.  Butt that rumor was inaccurate.  The overseer, Rich O’Donnell, actually preferred having sex with little  boys .<br>
 The two men bonded and formed a long lasting partnership.  Using his father’s money, Howard invested in stills and sour mash and they began producing excellent Kentucky whiskey.  One of their best customers was Jefferson Epistone who owned a train.  Epistone's train was popular with pedophiles who called it the “Kiddie Car Express”.  So for Howard and Rich, it was a win-win.    <br>
 They met a slave trader on the train who specialized in selling slave children to pedophiles.  His name was Ronald Rump.  Ronald Rump and Jefferson Epistone were partners.  Ronald Rump, Jeffery Epistone, Rich O’Donnell and Howard Hymen enjoyed a drunken orgy on the Pedophile Express.  Ronald asked Howard about Philadelphia.  So Howard tells them about his old nickname, “Buster”.  Ronald laughs and says, “So you’re Buster Hymen?  That’s perfect!”<br>
 Then Jeffery said, “And since you’re from Philadelphia so I’m gonna call you ‘Philly Buster’ from now on.  The nickname stuck.<br>
 There were two groups of abolitionists that were beginning to gain influence in Northern States.  One group wanted to ban slavery and the other group wanted to ban alcohol.  This made the four pedophiles decide to get into politics protect their own interests:  slavery and whiskey.  They decided that Rich and Buster were electable because they were known as plantation owners who produced the best Kentucky burbon.  Eventually,  Kentucky elected Senator O’Donnell and Senator Hymen.  The reason these two pedophiles got elected was simple.  People didn’t know they were pedophiles and they gave away free whiskey at their campaign rallies.<br>
 Years later, as new states were joining the Union, abolitions from Northern states introduced a bill in the Senate to ensure that new states could not be “slave states”.  Senator Hymen decided to prevent the Senate from passing the bill so he joined in the debate.  When he was recognized, he refused to yield to anyone.  He “debated” for hours and his goal was to alienate the abolitionists.  He droned on and on insulting everyone from the North.  He also slandered the character and intelligence of slaves comparing them to animals.  It had the desired effect - the Northerners walked out.  He then requested a quorum call.  Since there were not enough Senators left to vote on the bill, it was tabled.<br>
 Newspapers the next day had headlines that said,  “PHILLY BUSTER PREVENTS SENATE ACTION”.   The headline was intended to insult Senator Hymen, but from then on the technique of seizing the Senate floor with an endless speech was associated with “Philly Buster” because he was the only Senator who did it.  Over the years other Senators used this stalling technique so newspapers began referring to these long winded “debates” as “filibusters”.   <br>
