What the Heck Florida?

 


Book Banning?

Threatening teachers?

Stressing out about pronouns? 

How are these things happening in 2023? What if your kid's favorite book was banned in their classroom? 

Book banning was how Hitler moved to control the gullible. People who didn't realize what was happening in their country until it was too late. Freedom to read what you want is a basic right. 

Now some rando person can have a book banned without putting forth one specific reason why they think the book is offensive. Some of the books banned across Florida include Shel Silverstein's A light in the Attic.  A light hearted book filled with laughs and poetry. A great book for kids. Can anyone tell me why it was banned? And which bigot suggested the ban? Check out more about the Florida book bans here and here


A teacher showed a Disney movie and faced disciplinary actions. Hey Bigots! It was a freakin' DISNEY MOVIE!  And yes, you have to be a bigot to object to this one. See more here. In this one county alone there are like 50 teachers thinking to resign. Florida will not be able to get enough qualified teachers. It's gonna be a slow slide for Florida's already floundering educational system. 

Hey, here's an idea; 

Do something about the shootings our kids have to prepare for instead of worrying about a character dancing in a Disney movie or a book of kid's poetry? Are the children's lives safe in school? No... Do something about that if you want to protect children.

Now Pronouns.  Who cares? Call them him, her, they, whatever. Tell me how that affects anyone's life? If Richard perfers to be called Rick or Dick, is it your business? Does it really matter?  What else do these people have to do with their time? What if we object to the terms Mr., Mrs, Miss? Oh how offensive! 

OMG! There's rainbows in Target. 

Look away, you're eyes won't get burnt watching someone who wants a rainbow buy a t-shirt. It's called Land of the Free. Go over there and find your own t-shirt and leave the choices of others alone. 

Again; Land of the Free


With so many real problems people are facing today:

Florida Insurance is a GIANT mess. Nothing is done. 

Rents have gone up over 300%. Nothing is done.

Homeless population is exploding. Nothing is done. 

Hurricane Ian (one year ago?) victims are still struggling. Nothing is done. 

Maybe it's time to focus on this stuff. You know, help instead of hate. 

My wish for these book banning, Pronoun Nazi people is that they learn to used their powers for good instead of pushing their evil ways on others.

Blood on the hands of a Do-Nothing Congress

Another school shooting. Another mass murder with an AR-15, an assault weapon developed for war.
But the NRA and supporters think it's cool so they sell it to anyone with a trigger finger.
Congress hides behind their donations. Woooo, can't lose a buck no matter how many kids are murdered.
Sorry Congress, this blood is on your hands.
President Trump, this blood is on  your hands.

For all your bluster and empty promises, here's your chance to DO SOMETHING!
Pass a law and get these guns off the street. Strengthen our gun laws so kids don't have to go to school and worry about some nut walking in with an assault rifle.
Balls in your court Congress, step up or step down. No one needs you if you're not voting to protect our kids.

Theory of Trump

Does Trump have a plan? Look close, the clues are there. Let's lay out the facts and see how it adds up...

Trump refuses to attend briefings. This will make him the most uninformed President since Nixon (and we all know how that worked out!)

Trump hasn't gotten rid of any conflict of interest businesses. Is he really worth billions? Or once he starts dumping stuff will we know the truth? Maybe Putin holds the notes on all his properties?

Trump shows no interest in learning about diplomacy or international relations. In fact, so far he gets an "F" in that subject.

Our own CIA says Russia had their hand in America's election and Trump, without checking any facts, says it didn't happen.

Trump's wife and kid ain't movin' into the White House, but Trump maybe, might live there. It depends on which week you ask him.

So let's add this up;

  1. He's not interested in learning anything about what a president does in office.
  2. He has no interest in national security.
  3. He sides with the Russians...well, constantly.
  4. He's not getting rid of his business/financial interests that are conflicts of interest. 
  5. His family has no interest in the White House. (said no first lady ever!)
So, here's the theory; Trump will get sworn into office and quit the job within a month. 

He really didn't want the job, he just wanted to win. If the President isn't there then Vice Prez Pence will take office. You know, the only one taking all the briefings....
And so it goes....

A Big WTF Night in the good old USA

No one expected that our country had so many racists in it. Either that or the promise of change was just too blinding for them. If you were paying attention, most of the promises Trump gave, he also walked back on numerous times. The question now should be; what the hell is he going to do now.

The man has no plans, no road map, no idea what a president does in office.

Now it's up to the GOP, who took the congress and senate, to rein in this crazy, pussy grabbing, idiot. (Sorry, I calls them likes I sees them.) They had so much practise blocking Obama on 5 jobs bills and every other thing he proposed, blocking Trump should be a piece of cake.

The GOP really needs to step up and make the economy continue Obama's upswing or in four years, their goose is cooked. If not, the Republican party may fade into the history books never to be seen again....

What you gave up with your Trump vote?

  1. Women's reproductive rights. Sorry, not your Vagina anymore.
  2. Gay marriage. No longer land of the free- land of the cranky old bigots
  3. Trickle Down economics -aka Tax breaks for the rich, fuck the middle class -AGAIN!
  4. He bankrupted 6 companies, he'll bankrupt the USA probably with Russian loans. Can you say, President Putin? (same difference) 
  5. Laws protecting animals; Killing animals for sport? Eric Trump's fav sport. 
Jobs. Obama created jobs, Trump doesn't pay his workers and takes them to court to wear them down and break them with delays.

Voting with Your Brain

I like to see inner strength in a person. The ability to keep fighting under pressure and the self confidence to know that, no matter what the bullies say, what you are doing is important.

If you want the real story on Hillary Clinton do some research. No matter how much garbage they heap at her nothing sticks. They have NO EVIDENCE that she ever did anything wrong. And yet, the great Hillary smear campaign continues.

So election day draws near and the Republicans, Trump, and his pal Putin will be hurling insults and zingers at the speed of light. Donald (Drama Mama) Trump has an ego so big he can't let a woman beat him, because he looks down on women as playthings to be used and abused. Strong women scare him.

Forget everything you heard about both of them and do some research. Just make sure you're on a real website and not something set up to smear either candidate. liberalsRus.com is just as unreliable as foxnews.com. Keep looking. Search the bill sponsored on the Senate website. See what Hillary has worked for.  Look into the court system of New York and just do a name search. See the lawsuits with Trump's name on them. Before you vote, get off your ass and get the facts.

Things that worry me about Donald the Drama Mama? He won't show his tax returns. Putin is rooting for him. He's ignorant of basic international facts. He says he's a great negotiator yet goes to Mexico to negotiate the wall and gets laughed out of the country. And that Putin thing... There was evidence he was borrowing from foreign banks. Could Putin have him by the financial balls? What happens to the US economy if Putin is pulling the purse strings.

At least Hillary has always been loyal to America. Her work has always been based for the good of America. She doesn't have ties to communist/dictatorship countries. She's got an excellent record on children's health care and women's rights.  That email thing? The investigation produced nothing. I'm still waiting for them to investigate George W.,  VP Chaney, Colin Powell, and Condelisa Rice who did the same thing with using an independent server and deleting over 22,000 emails.

This Tuesday I'll vote for the person with the solid record of working for
America and not the drama mama who just might be selling us out to Russia.
