Jared Dear Boy and the 2 Billion Saudi "Investment"
Sure, no quid pro quo and no influence, right? I mean POOTWH just approved an arms sale so the Saudi's could continue their war in Yemen, looked the other way when they murdered and dismembered WaPo reporter Khashoggi and withdrew the US from the Iran nuclear deal. Not to mention that Jared Dear Boy had to revise his…

Hope you all had a good pride day
yesterday, about half a million of my closest friends had a bit of a party in West Hollywood. Had a great time.. rode my motorcycle in the parade next to my husband on his bike with my brother on the back of mine. Spent most of the day running around the beer tent and hanging out with friends. But the whole day was like a…

Opioid Addiction in the US, Heroin and Oxys
Here on Long Island the new buzz word is "Opioid Addiction". I've watched this problem grow worse and worse since 1999. In 1999 I was working in Virginia at a place called Pennington Gap and most of the teens and young adults all did pills. They preferred pharmaceuticals than to real drugs. Oxycontin pills were later…

A Splendid Little War in Yemen
Trump owns it. Questions are: When does it end? Who is held accountable when it goes south? How many killed? Is it necessary? https://www.boston.com/news/national-news/2017/02/02/questions-after-chain-of-miscues-in-u-s-raid-in-yemen

Republicans want to cut funding for PACT act that supports Vets.
Another horrible move by the MAGA republicans. Vets rely on the funding from PACT for everything from medical help to rehabilitation to counseling. A vet who I was very near and dear to my heart and who suffered from PTSD as a result of three tours in Iraq killed himself very recently (I just found out yesterday). Vets…

Hurricane Helene Relief and Help links
I did not see a thread on here so i am starting one. I have family in Asheville and the reporting isn't doing it justice. The place is messed up, bad. Roads, bridges are washed away leaving people stranded. If you know someone organizing for the people or know someone that can help please post here. My cousin is taking…

Can we talk about ageism?
Not because I'm a so-called "baby-boomer", or because I want to rant and rave at younger people, particularly so-called "gen-Z" people (don'tcha hate those labels?!) No, more because I'm curious as to why it is such a thing these days. (If you don't think so, Google "Geb Z Ageism.) A woman who is a friend and someone I…

The Dismantling of Higher Education in America
First it was liberal teachers. Then it was DEI. DOGE killed funding for research grants across the country, stifling innovation and research. Now its its foreign students (not just Harvard, Marco Rubio is pausing all interviews for foreign students needing visas to review their social media accounts). On top of that, this…

After Killer Tornadoes Republicans Want To Cut FEMA and NOAA
How much more of this bullshit can Middle America take now that its costing people their LIVES. The hypocrisy of Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and the Republicans who speak about the sympathy for the victims of the floods and tornadoes, are still pushing Bills to cut the budget of the very agencies established to help people in a…

Last Night’s Show in Raleigh
Eddie Vedder’s rant about identity was such a leap and spin on reality and a cop-out. The WMA singer talking about infringing on other people’s rights? What about the rights of biological girls and boys who have to now be subjected to a trans girl or boy and whatever they want? What about the aborted babies? What about the…

Has the world (as we know it) ended?
There certainly is no "normal" no go back to it....the only way is forward. And where does that lead us? I can't tell you how many people I've talked to (particularly the younger generation) who are very doom and gloom and justifiable so. I think in part it has to do with are access to news and information and because of…
