  1. The democracies of the world should pull off the gloves and plaster pics of Putin’s victims - maimed, injured and murdered children, every damn where. And while we’re at it, we should do the same in Gaza.
  2. Republican lawmakers fear Trump. Media moguls fear Trump. Federal workers fear Trump. Scientists fear Trump. Constitutional republics cannot survive in this much fear: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/us/politics/trump-democracy.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2U4.Vz6J.u5mtnUAQlW9E&smid=url-share
  3. This makes me sad: https://wpde.com/news/local-and-state/war-heroes-military-firsts-among-26000-images-flagged-for-removal-in-pentagon-dei-purge-enola-gay-soldiers-named-gay-donald-trump-elon-musk-pete-hegseth-doge-diversity-equity-and-inclusion WASHINGTON — References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and the first women to pass Marine infantry training are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts marked for deletion as the Defense Department works to purge diversity, equity and inclusion content, according to a database obtained by The Associated Press.
  4. Anybody here from Land of the Heart’s Delight, Texas?
  5. If you don’t like the language that was good enough for Jesus, you can just move to Albuquerque, New America.
  6. When they can poison and/or throw all known and potential Putin opponents off buildings. They’re also not above crashing a plane or two to thin the herd.
  7. Following pressure from health officials in Texas and around the country to address the growing measles problem in his state, Abbott said the following:
  8. They should all dress like Zelenskyy
  9. Voters must compel Congress to perform their constitutionally mandated duties and expel members who continue to cede authority to the executive branch.
  10. Constitutionally (lol, I know, right? ) FOTUS should understand that his job is to faithfully see to it that the monies allocated by Congress get to the designated people and institutions. He has no authority to override Congress’ authority to allocate funds.
  11. Well, RFKJ has weighed in. Basically said, you can get the vaccine if you want. Check with your doctor. Leave me out of it.
  12. ‘bout damn time! In Palestine, no less: https://www.kltv.com/video/2025/03/01/watch-school-voucher-town-hall-palestine-ends-with-state-representative-booed-off-stage/
  13. That Texas could be so big and so backward, is disgusting: https://www.texastribune.org/2025/02/28/texas-measles-abbott-lawmakers-response/ State and local health officials are setting up vaccine clinics and encouraging people to get the shot, which is more than 97% effective at warding off measles. But neither Gov. Greg Abbott nor lawmakers from the hardest hit areas have addressed the outbreak publicly in press conferences, social media posts or public calls for people to consider getting vaccinated. State and local authorities in West Texas have not yet enacted more significant measures that other places have adopted during outbreaks, like excluding unvaccinated students from school before they are exposed, or enforcing quarantine after exposure. The response to Texas’ first major public health crisis since COVID is being shaped by the long-term consequences of the pandemic, experts say — stronger vaccine hesitancy, decreased trust in science and authorities, and an unwillingness from politicians to aggressively push public health measures like vaccination and quarantine.
  14. Trump signed an EO intending to make English the official language of the US. He’s also done the following: Within hours of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the new administration took down the Spanish-language version of the official White House website. The site — currently https://www.whitehouse.gov/es/ — now gives users an “Error 404” message. It also included a “Go Home” button that directed viewers to a page featuring a video montage of Trump in his first term and on the campaign trail. The button was later updated to read “Go To Home Page Wonder if Republicans will stop lying on Spanish speaking radio stations in South Texas.
  15. JD Vance brings SDE wherever he goes.
  16. I hope Americans take to the streets in the millions when Trump hosts Putin later this year.
  17. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/28/nx-s1-5305281/trump-police-misconduct-database-background-checks A federal system for doing background checks on law enforcement officers has gone offline — thanks to an executive order signed by President Trump when he returned to the White House on Jan. 20. The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD) was launched in 2023 as a central repository of the professional records of federal law enforcement officers. The main purpose was to allow prospective employers — other federal agencies or local police — to check their backgrounds for misconduct. The system is now offline. Why did President Trump decommission the database? It appears to be a casualty of Trump's flurry of first-day executive actions, which included the revocation of a long list of President Biden's executive orders. One of those Biden orders was a package of police reforms signed on May 25, 2022, the second anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. The database was just one item among many in Biden's order, and the Trump administration has not criticized it specifically, though in the preface to the revocation it criticized the Biden policies in general over what it called "unlawful and radical DEI ideology."
  18. And this was before Trump fellated Putin before the whole world today - in Oklafreekinhoma!
  19. Don’t threaten him with a good time. in other news…US has canceled financial obligation to support Ukrainian energy grid.
  20. Yep. It’s true. We switched sides. We’re a axis power now.
  21. The champagne corks are popping all over Moscow. Why did America do this to us? Good grief.
  22. HUD secretary announcing elimination of rule Trump warned would ‘destroy the value of houses’ https://www.yahoo.com/news/hud-secretary-announcing-elimination-rule-223223838.html I know him He put the butter in butter biscuit.
  23. Measles cases now being reported in Rockwall County. One school age kid has died in west Texas. I guess we should brace ourselves for measles outbreak all over the state. This is so unnecessary.
  24. As my gran’ would say, her ways make her ugly.
  25. I wouldn’t say never. The important thing is you were able to get the point. That’s what really matters.
