Police: Third-Grade Teacher Threatened to Shoot His Students in Louisiana
That’s all I for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
That 3rd grade teacher, did threaten to shot his students, or to “play his Trump card?”
I don’t think he threated to end democracy.
The guy was 70 teaching 3rd grade… I imagine his patience just snapped.
I thought public education folks still had pensions — why the dickens was he still working at 70? (I guess “Really loved teaching kids” is a possibility… but if so, maybe time to pack it in sir…)
Friend of our family spent about 20 years teaching at a private religious school affiliated with the church she attended, earning about half what the local public school district teachers were getting. They let her go when she was in her early 50s. She got on with the local public school district, but they have a 20 year minimum requirement to collect full pension. She finally got to retire a few years ago.
Do I thank a teacher ’cause I could read this or because I got out of the hive alive.

Hillary Clinton Calls for Americans to Be ‘Criminally Charged’ for Free Speech that Sounds Like ‘Russian Propaganda’
The worst part is that half the country is enthusiastically on board with this. So glad the left is toning down the inflammatory rhetoric.
Sadly even the Right would cheer this on if said by their equivalent of Her.
Who needs principles anymore. This is the most! IMPORTANT! ELECTION! EVAR!
Sadly even the Right would cheer this on if said by their equivalent of Her.
I would need to see some evidence before I jump on board that assertion.
This is the most! IMPORTANT! ELECTION! EVAR!
Pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to stop my hand from slapping the shit out of anyone saying that [unironically] in my physical presence.
Unfortunately, I fear that the last election was the most important election ever, and the ones from now on may not matter.
And I would argue, JI, that this IS the most important election ever simply because all elections are of tantamount importance! You look at the “long march through the institutions” and this is how they start: school boards, judgeships, etc. Elections. You want a SCOTUS that actually looks at the constitution, and not whatever Affirmative Action Jackson word salads? Elections.
I swear to God, the next person who, on the one hand swears we are losing rights while on the other hand says elections don’t mater, is the one who truly needs their brains slapped back into their heads.
/good to have you back from VACA. How’s the wife?
Well ZWAK, for all the “importance”, how little will change – even if the Repubs sweep the elections. Surely you aren’t predicting any kind of major shift in the House?
Spain spent close to two years without “a government” – really just meaning some politicians nominally in charge. Did the country collapse into chaos? And Spain has political parties much farther apart on the scale than ours.
Wife is still sleeping this morning, and that was with minimal unpacking of the trailer yesterday. I didn’t sleep well – in my own bed – because I was so used to the trailer bed. We might have been gone just a little too long, though the dogs were ecstatic that we were back.
“we are losing rights”
Well, we are.
“elections don’t matter”
Please direct me to an election in recent memory that changed the fundamental trajectory of the country with respect to government scope, spending, or the transfer of real power to the agencies.
Well, JI and other assorted Glibs, how do you change that trajectory? By voting! And each incremental change is the start of that Long March (Back) Through the Institutions. This is a gigantic ship (for lack of a better analogy) and to change course on a ship that large, which do you think is better: gradual turns of the ships wheel, slowly moving the rudder? Or just giving up, hoping that the iceberg in front of you starts to realize that it will be better off if you don’t broadside it?
If you are waiting for the iceberg to move first, well, I got a sad story to tell you.
And RC, if one election changed everything, we would have started out with such a piss poor system that we wouldn’t be worrying about this, we would be fighting various strong men in a feudal system. No, this is a very resilient system, and, again, to change course in any meaningful way takes years of hard work. The Long March didn’t happen overnight, and won’t be rolled back overnight.
As I have said, the best time to start this would have been 40 years ago. The second best time to start is right now.

Personally, I’m still calling for Americans who conspire to fraudulently claim Russian collusion in order to spy on political opponents and derail opposition administrations to be criminally charged — and hopefully about the same results will come out of both (because I know damned well nothing is going to happen in my case…)
be criminally charged
Violating what law – specifically? Or is this just the equivalent of Hillary’s proposal?
How about sedition (as in, trying to overthrow or usurp the elected government)? Or, of course, for those who held actual government posts at the time, various and sundry civil rights violations?
Using the CIA and FBI to spy on Americans for political purposes is unquestionably illegal.
So is framing people for crimes they did not commit.
So is releasing classified information to the press in order to spark an impeachment, particularly when that “classified” information is actually based on lies and illegal wire taps (that show nothing illegal other than the wiretaps)
These unquestionably happened.
held actual government posts at the time
Qualified immunity waves hello!
These unquestionably happened.
OK, now cite the law that it violates. I’m not saying these people don’t deserve punishment – just that you are insane to expect the legal system (i.e. GOVERNMENT) to deliver that punishment.
Two arguments – nothing they did was illegal (much of it was, although I’m not going to invest the hours into writing a 60 page legal brief on it) and our current government won’t enforce its laws against its friends (which is unquestionably true).
“OK, now cite the law that it violates.”
Hatch Act?
Ah, there it is.
Funny how everything in the last decade or so boils down to fucking Ukraine.
You’re either with us or the [insert programmed boogeyman here].
And they’re going to keep fucking Ukraine for as long as they can to keep the grift going.
May she get what she wishes for. If we actually and honestly got that, she and every Democrat spouting that free speech is a threat to our democracy and must be curtailed would need to be rounded up and imprisoned.
Not that it excuses the Secret Service’s incompetence or malice, but if you had a billion dollars, and the incompetent fuck stains the government sent to protect you let you get shot in the ear on the 7th or 8th shot they allowed a sniper to get off, would you consider maybe hiring your own security to do things like sweep a wooded golf course to make sure nobody’s waiting to put another one in your dome?
Had a similar thought…maybe after a third time he’ll get it.
Yep – I would have called Eric Prince that day.
I would have called that number in the classified ads and had a meeting at Mr. Lee’s Laundry to hire 4 soldiers of fortune on the run for crimes they didn’t commit.
Well the SS certainly isn’t sending their A team.
Their brand image is no longer fresh.
I didn’t even know they were still around.
What am I to do about storing food for the upcoming monsoon months, and how do I keep hotdog buns fresh?
Anchor Hocking and Pyrex both make Made In USA glass storage that is superior to Tupperware, for food storage. Got rid of the old pieces years ago.
Generic ziploc bags would fine for bread if it’s not in the original bag.
I have one plastic storage container that I still use. The rest got replaced with Pyrex kits, and some inexpensive one-off Anchor Hocking pieces ages ago. Not being I’m a hippie environmentalist or anything, just because glass doesn’t retain odors or get discolored, and is easier to clean.
What a masterstroke to get documented names as people flood into hospitals after nearly getting their giblets blown apart.
Sorry for innocent kids though…heck of a targeted strike though.
All of the reporting on it has been entertaining to me. The only thing that would make it perfect is if it turns out that Hezbollah was the one who sent the code out that caused the detonations.
I’m less amused as I’m looking at this blog on a hand held device. Not the last time this kind of attack happens – Bluetooth enabled cars come to mind. Matt Bracken talks about this example:
https://cldc.org/who-killed-michael-hastings/
Drake:
As I’ve said quite frequently, it appears to me that the newer generation of IT people don’t consider security in the least. Not even as an after thought.
I’m also pretty sure I’m not going to get a device that’s been loaded with a small amount of explosive all around the battery.
Still speculation if this was purely a hack or a supply chain hardware hack.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz04m913m49o
Drake:
Based on the explosives, and what I know about batteries and failure states, I’m leaning heavily towards the supply chain being the primary attack vector in this case. Got them widely distributed, and then (I really do hope) Hezbollah sent out a message (for meeting/attack/etc) that had been changed to a detonation code.
It would almost have to be a supply chain hack. From videos I’ve seen, if a battery overheats or gets damaged, it starts to smoke and then bursts into flame. Looks like a flare lighting up. These were very sudden explosions that were like a gun shot.
Sounds more likely at that size. No explosives needed for Bluetooth enabled cars, trains, planes…
Yaknow, they make phones with modular/removable batteries and user-serviceable hardware. Not easy to find, but they’re out there, and the more people buy them, the more people are motivated to create them. The Fairphone isn’t going to make chicks jump on your wiener, but you can easily tell if it’s got a bomb inside of it.
Sounds like those students should leave Louisiana.

Try new and improved Pander! Pander will help you be all things to all people!
Side effects of Pander include a diminished sense of morality and sometimes an annoying cricket showing up blathering about not being a jackass.

Yeah, that’s pretty bad. The high-tax blue states are not going to vote for Trump anyway.
I’d like to think it’s just bluster and he and his advisors couldn’t possibly be that delusional, but…
This.
When he ended SALT, he also doubled the standard deduction. Which led to a tax cut for everyone under ~125K in NY.
The left still went apeshit. That was one of the first moments I realized the Dems had become the party of the wealthy.
It could be about the House elections in those states.
Yeah, the House contests seem pretty heated upstate, if all the commercials I’m seeing are anything to go by.
I’d like to see him or JD Vance whistle stop a bunch of blue and smaller states. Fuck this modern political calculus that has candidates traveling to exhaustion while not actually doing that many events or canvassing the entire country that they’re supposedly trying to represent.
This is how Trump saves America huh?
I don’t have any clue what “get SALT back” even means.
In Current Day Clownworld, it’s apparently too much to ask for even one Presidential candidate who can string a sentence together.

One of the problems is that so much food comes in reusable containers. Mrs F has lots of those and uses them when she one ways food to others. She doesn’t worry about returns, etc.
The growth of takeout containers, and reusable containers as to-go containers at restaurants has added to that. I’m struggling to avoid becoming my parents who would hold onto every single plastic container (and probably still have at least two cupboards full of them after moving).
Why Neph? We, as I just found yesterday, keep boxes of take out soup/Indian food containers in our basement.
Just because!
4X, that seems to be changing. I am noticing that all kind of stuff that used to come in sturdy/reusable plastic containers now comes in some kind of bag or cardboard container that ain’t so sturdy/reusable.
We’ve switched to glass storage containers. They have the added advantage of being microwave safe.
Weight aside (if you’re travelling with them), I really like the glass Snapware containers we have.
All that plastic is turning you guys gay (nttawwt).

Looks like we’ve shifted seasons, as the solid week of rain and sub-100 F temps have sprung all of the vegetation back to life, and I have to spend 2 hours of my coveted time off mowing my yard. When does winter come and kill this shit off again?
Didn’t anyone tell you? Texas doesn’t get a winter. Prepare to mow in November.
The one thing I miss about Nevada. No winters there either, but you don’t have to mow the sand and rocks. Or what the local Realtors euphemistically call “desert landscaping.” This time last year I was still too broke from the move to buy a mower or hire a guy, so I just let it go feral. It’s tempting, but the 8 hours I had to spend in the spring making 4 passes to get everything cut down, and earning a sunburn the faint outline of which can still be seen across the top of my feet where the straps of my slides go, was moderately worse than the weekly chore.
That’s desertscape to you sir!
Pat:
There’s a house down the street from me that has no grass in their lawn. Instead, they covered it in mulch, and put out scores of potted bulb plants. For the week they’re all in bloom, it looks gorgeous. The rest of the year, it’s a yard covered in pots.
Long term that will be a great strategy for him.
Not a terrible strat, although I’d probably kill the bulb plants, tbh.
I used RM43 all around the foundation and outbuildings, but the vegetation here in Texas is a lot hardier than the sand spur thingamajigs in Nevada that eventually dry up and turn into tumbleweeds. Had to reapply after 6 months where it would last me over a year.
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
And now I’m going to shamelessly drink bourbon at 10:20 AM, because if I cared about your social conventions, I wouldn’t work an overnight vampire schedule in the first place.
Can a Dachshund be ‘genderfluid’?
I’m surprised (dare I say heartened?) at the result.
She was subsequently banned from attending any more events held by the LGBT group and from contacting its members.
Don’t throw me in that briar patch.
Perfect
dare I say heartened – alas the British taxpayers has to foot the bill .
I think I’ve spotted where everything started going off the rails.
Wow. Shocking.
Depending on the day and the season dogs identify as hungry, thirsty, shitty, pissy, sleepy, or horny.
But one thing I’m pretty confident they never identify as is genderfluid.
Oh? What if his dog is a puppy-play enthusiast who identifies as a Dachshund? What about then? Checkmate, bigot!
My only thought on this is why would you argue with a crazy person?
I can imagine the court result is only because she’s a protected class. No way some old white guy wins that case. Probably thrown in jail for 2 years for hurting feelings.
Probably true, although at this point I’d be content just to go back to the grievance hierarchy we had 15 years ago.

As long as the cops aren’t going to do anything of actual benefit to the community anyway, I’d rather they go for a nooner than sit around handing out traffic citations and doing code enforcement.

When we were growing up, my mom had a big Tupperware Spring Green Fix N Mix Bowl that she always made bread dough in.
One day, I asked her if I could have it when she died. I loved the memories of it and didn’t want her to throw it out at some point. She said sure.
Of course, my spoiled little sister somehow heard about this and started howling about how unfair it was. For the most part, she isn’t too bad, but she is used to always getting her way, so I dug in and said she was a day late and a dollar short. Didn’t think much of it.
Years and years later, I discovered that she was still bent out of shape about this. So much that my mother bought a second green bowl so we could each have one. She said I could have the new bowl right this minute if I just dropped my claim. I stood tall and said no way. I was getting the real deal bowl and Kid Sis could have the new imposter one.
More years go by and Kid Sis’ nose is still out of joint. To be honest, I really didn’t care at that point, but being her big brother, I felt it was my duty to keep tweaking her about it.
When Mom and Dad finally did pass, my sister and her friends had actually put together an entire Oceans 11 plot to make sure she got the original bowl. I graciously told them that they could have the bowl, but that they were absolutely crazy.
To put a final point on things, I bought two more of those bowls on etsy (for way too much $$) so I ended up with 3 (one for each of the Altar Kids). For the next Thanksgiving dinner, I made 3 Bowl Salad. Same as 3 Bean Salad, except I only put one kind of bean in each bowl. You had to scoop out your own mixture. The sister didn’t think it was as funny as everyone else did.
As someone who has dealt with such drama, I appreciate this

Show of force
The U.S. military has moved about 130 soldiers along with mobile rocket launchers to a desolate island in the Aleutian chain of western Alaska amid a recent increase in Russian military planes and vessels approaching American territory.
Eight Russian military planes and four navy vessels, including two submarines, have come close to Alaska in the past week as Russia and China conducted joint military drills. None of the planes breached U.S. airspace and a Pentagon spokesperson said Tuesday there was no cause for alarm.
That’ll show ’em.
So we’re going to reenact the Battle of Attu Island, only the U.S. is going to play the part of the Japanese.

Sullivan called for a larger military presence in the Aleutians while advocating for the U.S. to respond with strength to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“In the past two years, we’ve seen joint Russian-Chinese air and naval exercises off our shores and a Chinese spy balloon floating over our communities,” Sullivan said in a statement Tuesday. “These escalating incidents demonstrate the critical role the Arctic plays in great power competition between the U.S., Russia, and China.”
Sullivan said the U.S. Navy should reopen its shuttered base at Adak, located in the Aleutians. Naval Air Facility Adak was closed in 1997.
Sure. Why the hell not? We can afford it.
Island life is good. I am sure military people would be eager to be stationed at Naval Air Facility Adak

Voters want more from Kamala Harris.
But while the Democratic nominee has been clear about what she is not — Donald Trump — she is either unwilling or unable to spell out a comprehensive blueprint for exactly what she would do as the 47th president.
In an interview on Tuesday, the vice president mostly stuck to broad themes and headlines about her economic plan that were largely familiar from a previous big-picture policy speech and her convention address.
But a candidate who has been criticized by opponents for running on “vibes” and surfing a wave of joy refused to be pinned down on specifics and details, instead citing her values and background to attest to her sincerity.
You have to elect her first. Then She will reveal her plan to remake America.

“DeSantis: It’s not in ‘best interest’ to have federal agencies lead investigation of Trump assassination attempt”
Stuff like this is why Desantis should have been the nominee. Trump never knew how to use his power to get stuff done.
He did not scale up well. Give him 4-8 years. He is a great state leader, but his organization was not structured to grow quickly to a national level. Also he, like Trump, tool bad advice initially.
“He did not scale up well. Give him 4-8 years. He is a great state leader, but his organization was not structured to grow quickly to a national level.”
I wish he had waited an election, but he is term limited and the term ends in the middle of the next presidency, so I can see why he went for it.
You’re talking about electoral politics, I’m just saying he would be a better president.
“Also he, like Trump, tool bad advice initially.”
That’s true, but at least he was able to take a course reversal. Trump has all the power he needed to shit can Fauci, but never did squat.
Very true. And absolutely he would be the better president.
Money – he has to change a lot of positions to satisfy the donors.
I’m not so sure. At the national level with a hostile congress, he’s not going to look as good as he does in Florida with his party controlling the state government and mostly backing his policies. My feeling is that he’d end up doing some Reagan-esque horse trading, by which I mean, capitulates to the Democrats and gets clowned on when nothing he negotiated for ever gets funded by congress or implemented by the executive bureaucracy. Which is a way bigger problem. Whatever political messiah you elect is going to run up against the same pushback Trump got, and I consider Trump pretty fucking milquetoast from a policy perspective. If they’re willing to go perjury and weaponized domestic spying over… what exactly? A few tax cuts and insufficient warmongering?

Pictures posted by David Wootton show him wearing an Arabic-style headdress, with the slogan ‘I love Ariana Grande’ on his T-shirt, and carrying a rucksack with ‘Boom’ and ‘TNT’ written on the front.
The disturbing Halloween costume which was captioned ‘bet I get kicked out of the party’ caused fury on social media, with his friends slamming the stunt.
The 40-year-old was arrested and last week pleaded guilty to sending an offensive message online and faces up to two years in jail when he is sentenced on October 3.

Well, if you can’t keep people safe from terrorists, at least protect their feefees.
Two years in prison. Absolutely retarded.
This is where we are headed if we don’t turn back now.
Given the billion dollar judgement against Alex Jones, we’re not too far off as it is.

Why would you promise to give a boon to your enemies?
He gave a quick sound bite without explanation. I think people are reading too much into it.
They are, but the unforced errors with this guy never stop.
Boy you know it.
Should stick to covfefe.
The reason the last assassin went for the head is because Trump shoots himself in the foot enough as it is.
I suspect there are many more towns like this.

This all raises two key questions. Does it matter that Harris is hardly a policy wonk? And is it really likely that this most unusual of elections will turn on something as conventional as a policy platform?
Harris is, after all, offering herself as a fleeting chance for Americans to escape the bitterness and division of the Trump years. Her success in triggering the former president in their debate was in service of her primary goal – exposing his wild behavior and showing that he’s unfit for the Oval Office.
“Bitterness and division of the Trump years”? What the fuck are they talking about? A bunch of sore-loser whining from the Democrats?
Look, fat, Biden has united this country and ain’t no evil rethuglikkan super magas gonna stop this upwelling of joy and unity that Kamala will unleash.
She is very Uppity, no?
Uh, no?
But she is an evil cunt.
That’s Biden/Harris will unite. It’s not like they’ve been in office for the past 3.5years.
There’s always bitterness and divisiveness when Democrats lose. Don’t you know anything?
This always reminds me of a Benny Hill skit. Benny was playing the maid of a movie star (in blackface of course). When asked a question about the star and his wife:
“They was always cussin’ and feudin’ and fightin’. If it wasn’t me and him it was me and her.”
You will unify behind me our I will unleash the police state on you.
As a former Jeep owner – it’s always a Stellantis’ product driver. I’m sure it has nothing to do with them being one of the lowest cost manufactuers.

What we need are some more automated safety systems and heavier and safer cars. Or we could just stop looking at the phone and actually pay attention.
Drive as though the other guy is out to kill you.
As a former motorcyclist I always do. It just gets really old day after day when you live in high traffic high congestion states.
I used to ride a bicycle everywhere. That informed how I drive.
Phones and/or ridiculously huge and poorly located A pillars.
This happened to me once. Scary to realize you can lose a while car in your forward view because of ‘safety’.
To be more clear- I have never crashed, but my a-pillar did completely block my view of a car and things got dicey.
Yep, didn’t see a car on a cross street the other day. Luckily the wife did. Now I get to hear it every time we go out.
It’s like you’ve never seen an Altima driver.
That ‘idiots” clip reminds me of my near miss the other day.
Too soon. Except I had room to swing to the outside.

The vice president is yet to give a major foreign policy address since becoming the Democratic nominee — a concern for voters who wonder how she’d lead the free world.
Obama will take care of all that, after she makes him Secretary of State.
Don’t worry. She will continue the grift as long as possible.

This is all not going to end well is it?
It’s the government in 2024. You can’t reasonably expect them to knock off one guy successfully in three attempts, can you?
At some point they might activate a competent idiot.
If this guy had decent camo (not a salmon shirt) and had not hung his homemade body armor on a fence, Trump may well be dead now.

The MIC must not have a lot of confidence in their election fortification.
If they or some individual succeeds in assasinating Trump, do they really think that will help Democrats get elected? Or is this 5D chess and the Dems will have to stage assasination attempts on Harris to regain the advantage?
Was it yesterday or the day before that I predicted they’d do an Aloha Snackbar type thing if the tweedledumbshit Antifa “snipers” who’ve never fired a gun before couldn’t make something happen? To be fair, I figured they’d wait a little closer to election day, but perhaps they’re reading worse news in the tea leaves than expected.
“Is the price of groceries still too high? Yes. Do we have more work to do? Yes. And I will tell you, I do believe that I offer a new generation of leadership for our country that is about, in particular, turning the page on an era that, sadly, has shown us attempts by some to incite fear, to create division in our country,” Harris said.
Good grief, what bubbling stew of emptyheaded nonsense.
Vote for me. I’m the smiley-face-sticker candidate!

How did a formerly respectable, once excellent publication focusing on high quality popularization of cutting edge scientific research turn into a cut rate political rag?
Forget about the masthead. Let’s look at the people hiding behind it.
First up: the editor in chief, Laura Helmuth.
Helmuth is actually a scientist (PhD cognitive neuroscience), although she prefers to be known as a Woman In Science. From her bio, “She speaks frequently on … ways to use social media effectively and fight misinformation.”
Scientific American isn’t Scientific American. It’s a skinsuit being worn by a cabal of overpromoted head girls and their housebroken soyboys, for whom science is only interesting insofar as it can be used to bolster propaganda imperatives for their side’s political goals – “sustainability”, “equity”, and so on. If those goals require “science” to be redefined as “supporting a cackling social-climbing prostitute with the verbal IQ of a parakeet”, then that’s what The Science means.
There are 28 individuals listed in the SciAm pressroom. Of these, 17 are women, 10 are men, and 1 is a “they”.
Ctl-F ‘physics’ yields 3 with physics degrees, of whom 1 has a PhD.
Ctl-F ‘Ph.D.’ yields a whole 3 hits
https://x.com/martianwyrdlord/status/1836291938070167565
I mean I am not sure you need a PhD to write for some magazine.
Scientific journalism was a mess before the wokening. They skinsuited an increasingly irrelevant apparatus

At some point they might activate a competent idiot.
It seems as if the country is knee deep in “former special ops” guys. But apparently all they can come up with is delusional halfwit video gamers.
Even discounting the fact that .mil and ex-.mil leans pretty hard to the right*, all of these dudes are going to understand that a direct action hit on a high-value target is probably not something you can pull off as a solo act. Not if you plan to get away clean to enjoy your retirement on a beach in Fiji.
That pretty much leaves the delusional and the fantasy-prone.
* – At least the ones with an occupational specialty that would be useful for such work.
I’m surprised we have only seen Oswald style sniper attacks, especially from Mr. Ukraine. Isn’t the battlefield over there proving the lethality of bomb drones time and time again?
I think that battlefield effectiveness doesn’t necessarily translate to assassination effectiveness.
Also, lack of access to useful HE material, and lack of technical acumen among the aforementioned delusional and fantasy-prone.

Uncle Ted, Tim McVeigh, and those brothers in Boston have something to say about that. I get that it’s easier to target randos than somebody under SS guard, but I’m still surprised that the only kind of attempt being made is the sniper style.

Because the idiot courts will block AZ from checking citizenship for federal elections.

You know, upon further reflection, I’m a bit surprised we’re not seeing more of this. Maybe the #RepublicansForHarris are ashamed enough that they’re keeping it to themselves?
But this whole trope fits so perfectly with the characteristic GOP sub-bottom desire to write a noble, eloquent, statesmanlike conciliation speech…

Yeah, this is bullshit. Nobody on the right uses the term “concerned” as an adjective. That’s a leftist thing.
“I’m a socially-conservative Catholic.”
Them hope could you approve of a candidate that supports and approves of the murder of a million children every year?
What an asshole.
Salad bar Catholicism.
I’m thinking “fake”.
The left might be stupid enough to miss that point.

That’s what the delusional video gamer is for.
“California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a first-of-its-kind “deepfake” law after conservatives created a powerful and hilarious parody video mocking Kamala Harris’s candidacy.
In a post on the X platform, Newsom confirmed that he had signed the bill after Elon Musk shared the anti-Kamala video using an altered version of her voice.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/do-not-share-this-californias-gavin-newsom-just/
As soon as the law goes into effect, real videos they don’t like will be flagged as fake.
Except it’s unconstitutional so….
It’s in effect until SCOTUS slaps it down. Then a new version comes out. See gun laws.

It will take decades to find a plaintiff with standing.

Carrying forward from last night’s post about fat acceptance being a reaction to the previous ideal, I wonder if some of the trans stuff among girls is driven by the prevalence of the princess stuff and girls wear pink pink pink in recent decades.
If I were to venture a theory, I’d say it’s more likely related to the shaming of girls for taking an interest in stereotypical/classically feminine things, or choosing stereotypically feminine career paths, which took place as the 2nd wave feminist “Women can do anything a man can do” sloganeering gave way to the 3rd wave feminist “Women must do everything a man does” ethos.
Looks like nobody is going to mention the elephant in the room…why is that fish giving a bowtied cat a beej?
