    Episode 780: Attempt on Trump's Life, Project 2025 in its Own Words

      Direct quotes from the project:   "Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered."   "Conservatives should gratefully celebrate the greatest pro-family win in a generation: overturning Roe v. Wade, a decision that for five decades made a mockery of our Constitution and facilitated the deaths of tens of millions of unborn children. But the Dobbs decision is just the beginning. Conservatives in the states and in Washington, including in the next conservative Administration, should push as hard as possible to protect the unborn in every jurisdiction in America. In particular, the next conservative President should work with Congress to enact the most robust protections for the unborn that Congress will support while deploying existing federal powers to protect innocent life and vigorously complying with statutory bans on the federal funding of abortion. Conservatives should ardently pursue these pro-life and pro-family policies while recognizing the many women who find themselves in immensely difficult and often tragic situations and the heroism of every choice to become a mother."

Cognitive dissonance

‘Skeptics with a K’. “If you think we swear a lot you should try listening to Cognitive Dissonance” So I did and they were right...

Pregnant people?

If I read this nonsense like pregnant people I can’t go further than this phrase. It’s flipping pregnant women not people. Only women can be pregnant. My God when all this nonsense finally ends.

Dear God No!

Democrats good. Republicans bad. That's the show.

If a Republican’s accused of something... rip them to pieces. If a Democrat is accused... they should be dealt with if guilty, but hey, let’s just wait and see what due process brings.

They also like to celebrate the death of anyone who supports the Republicans and even treat their own fans like garbage if they dare ask a question they don't like. Like all zealots they claim the question is beneath them when unable to give a decent answer. They think they get away with it but it looks pathetic. Then they usually ban the them.

Their Facebook page is actually worth a look if you have a professional curiosity. It's a bit like the demented scrapbooking of a serial killer.

Odiously self-satisfied and kind of horrible. One to avoid.
