The American Press Are No @#$%^&* Good

Watch Pete Hoekstra, Trump's ambassador to the Netherlands, get poleaxed by Dutch reporters. How did they get him?. They insisted he actually answer a question and answer truthfully. I almost feel sorry for him.

This example makes our media monsters look like incompetent idiots. We are 48th in freedom of the press worldwide . So much winning. Our reporters back off when they do not get an answer, or get a lie for an answer, because they might 'lose access.' I am looking at you Chuck Todd.

I am Queer. I am out of the closet. Call me Nancy.

I like Queer because Friends (Quakers) have from the beginning been called 'a queer people.' I fit right in. 

I like Queer because, if I do some damn disgusting hilarious filthy dirty but not illegal act in public, folks go 'Oh she is queer. What do you expect'?

It was Minnie Jane Hamm who taught me being a Friend was a good thing. Big Hug.

Quakes have silent Meeting. We just sit there like bumps, no liturgy, no music, no Pastor, no excuse and we wait to hear what the Spirit wants us to say. Nobody says much. For about three years, I sat next to Minnie Jane and she never said a thing. Then one First Day, she stood up - you stand to speak - no hiding in the pew - and she said:

"Is it not wonderful that we are all so Queer" 

and Minnie Jane sat down, silent again for years. Her Sister Nancy H. was my Sponsor. She saved lives. Ergo call me Nancy. She would appreciate the pun.

"Something Bizarre Happened" - Republicans once passed Gun Legislation

Karma by Rik Oostenbroek

Time to republish this given the new mass shooting. This is a link to a database of mass shootings. I am afraid to go to the Mall.

NOTE: I do not let Democrats off the hook here. Get off your dupas, you cowards. I wrote this in 2014.

Owning a gun must be like owning a car. We must register and insure every gun including the guns of LEOs. We must have a license to operate a gun. Noncompliance will result in appropriate enforcement = fines and/or imprisonment.

WASHINGTON -- Something bizarre happened in the House of Representatives on Tuesday: Republicans quietly passed gun control legislation.
The bill, which renews the 1988 Undetectable Firearms Act, faced so little opposition in the House that it was only debated for 10 minutes and passed on a voice vote. It's the only gun-related measure to get a House vote since Democrats launched a major push for action on gun violence in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting late last year. - Jennifer Bendery

These do-nothing Bastids could not or would not get any gun regulation legislation passed. Most Americans wanted some sensible form of gun regulation after the baby murders, even a majority of the members of the NRA and gun dealers. This bill prohibits or modifies by law printable plastic guns only.

It is a (Congress'-butts-need-saving-first-and-we-will-get-to-you-folks-later) decision. Plastic guns can get through the scanners at public buildings that protect these privileged Folks.

This is funny in a black humor kind of way. And then, when you have thought about it for awhile, you want to puke. I do not know, maybe prayer does work. You just have to pray to the right Goddess.

You look like overpriced overpaid overstuffed overwrought Turkeys again, Congress. Happy New Year.
