Audiences don't like their intelligence insulted by casting a Black actress as a Greek Pharaoh. I'll pass on this so-called docudrama.; 5/14/23, 7:03 PM
gadfly said...: Rep. James Comer (R-KY) revealed on Sunday that Republicans had lost track of a top witness in the investigation of President Joe Biden and his family.

"The nine of the ten people that we've identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens," he added, "they're one of three things, . . . they're either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing."

So it sounds like Comer looks for suspect witnesses in all the dark places.; 5/14/23, 7:40 PM

“House Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden
After months of investigation and many public accusations of corruption against Mr. Biden and his family, the first report of the premier House G.O.P. inquiry showed no proof of such misconduct.”

Legal Positivism: The legal theory which may bring about most if not all the scary things were talking about these days.

I was trying to follow it, I watched it till the end, but I have to go back and watch it again a few times, because it may very well become the most important legal theory this century.; 5/14/23, 9:35 PM

He hung and shot himself in the back of the head twice. Obvious suicide.; 5/14/23, 9:56 PM

wendybar said...: We need to send every single illegal that Joe Biden is inviting into the country, to his beach house in Delaware where he goes every single weekend to charge up. Since he won't go to the border where the problem is, we should send the problem to him. Let him deal with it first hand.

President Biden, on a bike ride in Delaware, tells reporters the situation on the southern border is "much better than you all expected," but added, "there is a lot more work to do."

tim in vermont said...: Oh looky, our CIA sponsored terrorists, the ones who supplied the pretext for us going into Syria, like the ones who provided the pretext to go into Afghanistan and Iraq before them, have now turned their sights on Russia! Could they be any more obvious?

Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, the Islamic State’s central propaganda apparatus initiated a Ukraine-focused media campaign in its weekly al-Naba newsletter under the headline “Crusader Against Crusader Wars,”

Why would jihadists care about a war between slavs?

Ever wonder why most of the hijackers came from a "friendly" Saudi Arabia? Because they were doing the neocons a solid by providing us with a new Pearl Harbor. I don't think that American operatives set charges in the buildings, or that fire can't weaken steel, but I do think that some CIA guys, the same guys who organized Al Qaeda to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, could have cooked up the plot or looked the other way, at a minimum. I think that the ridiculous "inside job" theories of setting charges in buildings, etc, were probably disinformation put out by the CIA to cover the fact that these were our boys who did it.; 5/15/23, 5:34 AM

wendybar said...: Check out the video at the top of the article. so many women and children...oh wait. This is filled with military aged illegal MEN. I thought we were sending them back. LIARS are lying, and the idiots believe the propaganda. These idiots should be forced to take in 5 men each, since they don't believe it is a problem.

Kate said...: I have no interest in "Queen Cleopatra" but why @Mike of Snoqualmie you gotta disrespect "Ishtar"? Have you ever seen it, or is it the go-to whipping boy? It's incredibly stupid, I grant you, but Elaine May and Paul Williams are really, really funny. Oh, man. Now I want to go to my dvd shelf and pull it out for a rewatch.; 5/15/23, 6:51 AM

Every state limits, and many prohibit outright, the permanent marking of children’s bodies.
Many red states, blue states and the District of Columbia have absolute bans on permanent tattoos for children. Some blue states’ laws are among the most stringent.
In California and Washington, it’s a crime to tattoo any minor under 18. Likewise in Oregon, and a Portland municipal ordinance sets the limit at 21. It’s 16 in Florida and Kentucky and 14 in Idaho. In Illinois, not only are children under 18 prohibited from getting a tattoo, it’s illegal for tattoo parlors to allow them onto the premises

so.. What's the difference? WHY is it that a child can get Hormones "top surgery" "bottom surgery";
but CAN'T get ink? Well, as they say: FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Which contributes More to the dems? Childrens Hospitals? or Tatto parlors?; 5/15/23, 7:06 AM
gilbar said...: If a child in Michigan wants to get a tattoo reflecting his most deeply held passion—even if his teachers, doctors and other experts support his wish and testify that his views are bona fide and permanent—the tattooist still would risk 93 days in jail and a $2,500 fine if he didn’t secure written parental consent, in person. Florida (for children 14 to 16), Arkansas, Louisiana, Idaho (under 14), Michigan, Nevada, Ohio and Arizona (under 18), among other states, all have similarly strict in-person parental consent laws. All states at minimum require parental notification and written consent.
The American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychiatric Association, and American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry all have spoken out against state laws to restrict access to “gender-affirming medical care” for children, including both hormones and surgery. None of those organizations have said a word against the states’ restrictions of children’s right to express their self-identity in the form of a permanent tattoo.
Jim Riley of Innervision Tattoo in Nevada (where state law requires in-person parental consent for a minor to get a tattoo) writes on the parlor’s website that he wouldn’t tattoo a minor even with parental consent:

“Of all the people I’ve tattooed in my 20+ year tattoo career, most of the cover up tattoos I have done are on people who got tattooed at a young age. It’s very common to hear the phrase ‘I got this tattoo when I was 15 and now I hate it. Can you cover it up?’ A phrase I’ve never heard anyone say is, ‘I got this tattoo when I was 15 and I love it!’ Let’s face it, when we’re teenagers we don’t have the foresight to know what we will like when we are in our 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and beyond.”; 5/15/23, 7:10 AM
wendybar said...: "Jill Biden keeps telling us that hers is a military family. She pats herself on the back for allegedly working with military families. She brings along a cameraman to document when she visits a military community and meets with the children of military members. She very much wants this narrative to be one that is a part of her legacy as first lady. That’s fine. Military families deserve support. Theirs is not an easy lifestyle. However, I’m curious as to why Jill isn’t speaking up and trying to help protect homeless veterans when they lose the housing they have been able to secure."
