Yesterday, per “Black Man Spy,” Kegsbreath said something on the order of “Our warriors are preparing for our next conquest.” “Conquest” is a word which has a range of meanings. but in its original basic meaning, it is a war crime. If you go into enemy occupied territory in a war they started, and you take the territory, such as occupied France in WWII, that is not conquest – it is defense. But if you go into someone else’s territory with the intention of taking it order – that is conquest. That is what, for example, Hitler did to Poland in 1939. It’s what Cortes did to the Aztec empire. That is what white Americans did to Indian territories. That is what Britain did to India. All just examples – since throughout history, way too many nations did it to too many other nations and thought it was a good and honorable idea. Put that on the ground and it will make the flowers grow. The warcast also went into how new alliances are being formed leaving us out – which is (though they didn’t use these words) going to make us a pariah state allied with no one. Except maybe Israel. Which, under Bibi, is already a pariah. Speaking of Bibi, who is at least as crazy and evil as our un-president – and even more “Nobody can tell him anything that will change his mind” than ours. If you want a cease-fire including Israel, you need to discuss it with Bibi personally. Accept no one else’s word for it.

Democrats aren’t always bizarre. But when we are – we are within out constitutional rights, and we don’t maul or abuse anyone. The Intercept has the story.

What a mess. Decisions like these are difficult enough when everyone is on the same page. With misinformation flying around like a plague of cicadas, decisions re xlose to impossible.

And this article may be worse than the last one. At least vaccines, and the diseases they protect against, are tangible. Gender orientations are not, although they are very real. You can’t prove that a person is gay like you can prove that a chiled has measles. There are no blood tests for it. Nor for transgender – genitalia may be tangible, but they may also lie. Depression and suicidal feelings ae also intangible – unless they are acted on – and then it is too late. My state was doing the right thing. SCROTUS is not.

Yesterday, I got an email from a new group – under the umbrella of Fast Action, which has been around a while – and I must say it’s about time. It’s called HEAL to Win, and it aims to support and recruit progressive candidates running for seats on school boards. Republicans have been way, way ahead of us on this for decades, which is a large chunk of why so many people, especially younger people, are so easily fooled by the Saffron Sauron and his band of orcs. They are offering a free digital tool kit on how to launch, manage and win a run for a local school board seat. This is not something I could do, or just anyone, though there are people who could and don’t know it. I’m attaching the link so you can pass it on.

Steve Schmidt on the difference between the Apricot Antichrist and John F. Kennedy, including a video of his “City on a Hill” speech – not a “shining city” – but a city which because of its location is visible to everyone, and had therefore better step up and shape up.

This is as shortsighted of Republicans as it was to try new districting for partisan reasons after SCROTUS claimed it had no jurisdiction over that – so now California’s redistricting has been blessed also.

I readily admit that I was a desk Marine, and could not have passed the fitness test for combat – I struggled much of my career to pass the women’s. But that’s me – and I belonged at a desk because that’s my skill set. The women interviewed for this article are different – and definitely belong[ed] in combat units. As did Tammy Duckworth.

This is almost 20 minutes long, and you a welcome to view it all, but all I want y’all to see is the first 8 minutes or so (You’ll know when she changes the subject.) I can cut minutes off the front, but not off the end, or I would have done so.
