I got the boot at a gaming forum for suggesting that not even quilting magazines and websites will be allowed to exist, if they get targeted for, say, not featuring enough quilts made by LGBT or POC. They literally banned me from the site forever. Or for not hiring enough of those Underserved people to push SJWism in my hobby of quilting.
Yep. Here we are. You can’t enjoy your things, people. You must push OUR agenda. Even on a twitter site about dogs. Even at a quilting magazine or website.

Another reason for which to celebrate my late age. Calling it an event horizon is exactly what it is. I’m sick to death of those snot nosed, snooty. and self- appointed judge idiots making everything about politics.
As for the future, my son’s entire family are a lot of flaming SWJ’s and they deserve the earth they’re going to inherit. They’re beyond any reconciliation vis- a-vis politically. They wanted me to keep track of what’s going on on facebook (because calling or even texting me is too much to ask) and now all I get on facebook are cats and politics. The warm purriness of cats and kittens aren’t much solace for the impact of the sickening, no humor, mean-spirited, spiteful political posts.
You’re right. It is interesting to watch, if you can divorce yourself emotionally to just how evil reigns. Personally, what I see in this is a regurgitation of political history, with a mindset just between Kristalnacht and making the Jews wear yellow stars in Nazi Germany.
It’s coming. It’s coming fast.

Glad it works well for you, Stella, truly. In these days it’s easy for politics to divide families. My ggirls are teenagers. Son told me if they knew i voted for Trump “it would not be good at all.” Their rabidity abounds – so does my son and daughter-in-law’s. Might be a blessing i live 2 hours away. I rarely see them, maybe 3 x a year now.
Explained to my eldest – now 19 – what socialism is using the school grades example. She said that was BAD. Told her Bernie was a socialist she snickered and said he was a Democrat. I told her to go look it up. Said she didn’t need to.
Youngest ggirl had a meltdown and was sure she was going to get raped in the halls of school or i.e., dragged behind a car like matthew shepherd because Trump was elected. She went on her fb page and cursed her very christian aunt (mom’s side) and in the most vicious epithetical because she voted for Trump. I think she got a time out for it – she still thinks that stuff, but doesn’t say it.
While I’m at it, I lament all the small children – some who can barely talk – whose parents hatred for Trump is modeled so these young ones parrot not only the words but the hateful emotions. That does not bode well for the future, no matter what our generation does.
Sorry for the rant. It really pisses me off.

Watching the slow-motion implosion of my birth state, Connecticut. Ladt year GE said it would move its HQ from CT to Boston and now Aetna, a company that’s been in CT for 150+ years, is leaving the state, pulling nearly 6000 jobs someplace else.
CT has a Ray governor who apparently has the goobernatorial skill of…well…a Rat. He not only didn’t throw himself in front of these CEOs’ cars and beg them to stay, he aoperas not yo have even met with Aetna’s chief.
Aside from being such a great businessman he’s also ignored the suggestions of professionals on how to get the state out of its huge economic slump but is going to spend short tax dollars on rebuilding major city centers to attract business to cities business is running away from.

They should all be put in prison for the rest of their lives, for treason against the nation, the Crown, and the British people. The real British people, I mean. Not the ones made “british” by virtue of standing upon magic dirt.
“Shoulda made our own bloody kebabs.” — Some British racist who lost a young daughter to Islam’s innate, inevitable depravity.
Miss May, you did this. And as long as Islam is allowed to exist in England, you will get more attacks like this. It’s inevitable, and any sane person who knows Islam knows this.
It’s going to be “difficult and embarrassing” for May and the rest of the Progs when they realize this and have to publicly admit it.

Time for a Terrorism Accord, Not a Climate Accord
https://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2017/06/03/time-for-a-terrorism-accord-not-a-climate-accord/
Yes, there’s a threat to civilization and it’s not global warming, manmade or otherwise. And anyone who isn’t comatose should know what it is.
Islam, like cancer, needs a cure. And we all have to participate in the search for one before it’s too late.
Yes, this is about Islam, not “radical” Islam or some other off-shoot, real or imagined, because the tenets that have inspired the non-stop spate of terrorism across the world in recent years are spelled out clearly in sections of the Koran and the Hadith and other holy works of Islam. They provide justification for ISIS and a hundred other groups that may or may not replace them, now and in the future. This cannot continue — unless we really do want to destroy ourselves.
To be clear, this is not about bad people (many Muslims are fine human beings), but about a malignant ideology from the seventh century that must be expunged for the survival of all.

New ISIS Command to EAT Infidels Has Islamic Roots
https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2017/03/06/new-isis-command-to-eat-infidels-has-islamic-roots/
In light of recent revelations that the Islamic State is teaching its followers to eat non-Muslims, surely we can now all agree that — at least with this — ISIS is truly not Islamic?
Alas, no.

Watching CNN…don’t ask…where some Mideast commentator is chatting with a Hollywood Squares formstion of (literally) talking heads. Heads are sort of put off about how terrorists are conducting business on the internet hiding under the US 1st Amendment.
Ah yes, that element both domestic and European, that believes our Bill of Rights is long outdated and certain Amendments, most notably the first and second, should be….modified to meet the times.
Their irritation with our Bill of Rights goes back decades, nothing new, but while it was mostly a curiosity it’s grown to a real force. The EU has been adamant about its taking control of the internet and shedding that 1st Amendment irritation, having a committee of approved experts determine what’s acceptable and allowable for on-libe content.
Watch for more controls on free speech in general, not control of Islamic militants. Free speech is the latest diversion from the issue of Islamic terrorism, Islamic terrotists and prog apologists are finding more and more common ground.

Listening to endless London coverage I just noticed a spokeshead say that the attackers last night ‘had been on the government’s radar’. The Brit government had said that about the Manchester bomber too. Note how quickly the Brits rolled up associated terrorists/helpers AFTER each event, very heavilybsuggesting that the Brits had the entire net on their radar before the attacks. Sorta just like what the FBI’s said about Moslems who’ve perpetrated attacks in the US bavk to and including 911.
So WHY do the Brits and US have these Moslem terrorists ‘on the radar’ but don’t react until the atrack takes place? Is there a threshold of acceptable bodycounts that must be crossed before we can take action?

This is genius –
To fight climate change, start with Leonardo DiCaprio’s private jet lifestyle
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/06/04/some-modest-proposals-to-fight-climate-change-glenn-reynolds-column/102489538/
First, we need to tax the “blue zones.” That is, we need to impose steep taxes on property in coastal areas that will be flooded by the sea-level increases that global warming is supposed to bring. By discouraging people from living or building there now, we’ll save ourselves from big problems in the future. Sure it’ll drive down property values, but those values should go down — they’re values for property that’s going to be flooded anyway, remember?
Second, we need to ban taxpayer-funded air travel to conferences. State legislatures could ban reimbursement for travel outside their states; Congress could require that no federal grant money be spent on air travel to conferences and similar events. A lot of academic conferences would fail, but that’s a small price to pay for saving the planet. And besides, it will encourage the development of Internet-based conference alternatives. A whole new industry might result: Green jobs!
Third, we need to ban private jet travel. At first I thought about just taxing it heavily, but with the planet at stake, that might not be enough. It’s nice that John Travolta can have his own Boeing 707, or that Leonardo DiCaprio can jet around the world speaking against climate change, but the carbon emissions involved set a bad example that outweighs anything he might say. So no more private jets. Bigshots will just have to fly commercial like everyone else, the way they did in the 1950s. (And sorry, Leo, but massive yachts have to go, too). Politicians, too, should have to fly commercial. No more government-funded “executive jets” for them.
Fourth, we need a luxury tax on mansions. Any home more than twice the size of the average American home should be taxed at 25% of its value per year. Celebrities and the rich enjoy great powers of persuasion — but with great power comes great responsibility, and they have a great responsibility to set a good example for the rest of us on climate change!
These proposals are just the beginning, and I’m sure that enterprising members of Congress and various state legislatures can come up with more. But the important thing is to set a good example: Treat climate change like the crisis you say it is, and maybe more people will believe that it really is a crisis.

It would appear the EU is beginning to cannibalize itself.
Economic sanctions are being considered against the “inferior” recalcitrant Eastern European states.
Pull quote – ” the practical implementation of such an idea will not just prevent all of the EU states from being “safe and prosperous” but result in the gradual disintegration of the European Union itself as a result.”

Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen
