Knew someone had to do it!

I've been out of the loop for a few days, so someone may have already posted this. But just in case...https://pro.teechip.com/bastacap
Looks like they're donating profits to Daniels' legal fund.

Found an interesting time line on Roy Moore

Kind of lays it all out. Notice that his attempt on Tina Johnson occurred after he was married. There's no doubt in my mind that had she been responsive as opposed to repulsed, the situation would have progressed and he could have added adultery to the list. Although I also think he's in all likelihood "been there, done that", but those women are staying quiet.

He's such a scum bag. And "religious" leaders are supporting him. Ever see "Hannah and Her Sisters"? There's a scene that has a monologue that is pure Woody Allen. (Yeah, yeah, I get the irony.) "...If Jesus ever did come back, and see what's going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up."

I live in a small town outside of Vegas.

I work in Las Vegas, and have been pretty much on auto all day. Kind of a strange quiet at school.

I haven't been able to follow too much at school, but rumors have been flying. I've heard the usual "ISIS has taken responsibility", claiming he became a convert 6 months ago. I've also heard he was antifa. Folks, Mesquite is about 30 miles north of where I live. It's the land of Cliven Bundy. It's old, white, and conservative. His other home was in Reno. Same demographic. I have no idea what his political affiliations were, although I'm sure his computer will tell all. But I just don't see this guy as being from the "left" or (seriously?) ISIS.

My letter to Dean Heller.

Seriously? You're on board with the newest "I hated everything Obama did or stood for, so I'm going to overturn everything he did, no matter how much it hurts my constituency" bill? You are really prepared to vote for the worst of the "health care" bills offered so far? You really have NO problem taking insurance away from 10's of millions of people? You really have NO problem with taking insurance away from people with pre-existing conditions, putting caps on care, having insurance premiums go up 100's of percent on seniors? You have NO problem with going against your "word" (fat lot of good that is)to protect Planned Parenthood? You're really prepared to throw the most vulnerable of us to the wolves, better known as the insurance industry. And please spare me the Paul Ryan platitudes about "freedom" and "state's rights". You are aware that our governor wants no part of this, right? And the freedom to either go broke due to medical bills or insurance premium payments is not freedom, sir. It's servitude of the worst kind. Do you just not give a damn about the people you are supposed to be serving? So far, you've given us an idiot in charge of the educational system, a thief in charge of the treasury, a man who is completely ignorant as to diplomacy in charge of the State department, a racist in charge of law, a polluter in charge of the EPA, and are fully supporting a fascist/white supremacist in the White House. Nice job, dude. You sure are looking out for us. I nominate you for the Paul Ryan/Mitch McConnell "Biggest Hypocrites in Office" club. No doubt you'll get in.

This damn bill is worse than Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction...it just won't die. Let's make the damn Rethugs eat it again. Write your Senator.

Obama in Vegas...Fantastic!

Couldn't get up close, but it didn't matter. The ENERGY that man brought into the room was amazing. And it just kept building, in him and in the crowd. Amazing experience!! Got a couple good shots & I'll post them up as soon as I figure out how. Crowd was around 4000, the center floor was a sea of people. And an absolute portrait of America...everyone was there, except angry white guys, anyhow! Got home late last night, and I'm still pumped!! GOBama!!

I'M GOING TO SEE OBAMA TOMORROW!!!!!!!

I AM SO EXCITED, I can hardly type right now!!!!! He's coming to Las Vegas, and the JROTC leader at my high school was able to get tickets. Our kids might be there, I really don't know. All I know is that I'M GOING TO SEE OBAMA TOMORROW!!!! AND, I might be able to get up close! The Sgt. Major told me to call him as soon as I get there, and if there's room, he'll bring me up to the front.

I'M GOING TO SEE OBAMA TOMORROW!!!!!!!

The Cayman Islands Flag? Really?

Last week was the first week of school, and I was in another dimension, so you guys may have already discussed this, but that flag really jumped out at me when Mitt's yacht was being talked about. I'm not sure as to the legalities...I figure it's a tax dodge in the first place, and he has to fly the Cayman Islands Flag as that's where he has it registered. Obviously, he wouldn't fly the American Flag under the Cayman Islands, but is there something that says he couldn't fly an American Flag on another, equally sized post?

Just asking...him being such a patriot and all.

You need to sign this petition.

Just got the email from Care2 on this one. In a nutshell, this woman was attacked in her own home. The police dispatched to the scene were told she was deaf. Read the rest at the site. It'll turn your stomach. What isn't mentioned in the petition is that in addition to the tasering, she was jailed for 60 hours.
