“I believe all Southern liberals come from the same starting point--race. Once you figure out they are lying to you about race, you start to question everything.”~Molly Ivins.

You’re right, of course. I made sure my children had a strong education, and they are doing the same for their children. But my breakout was unusual.

I grew up in the South during enforced segregation. As soon as schools were integrated, Southerners opted for private “Christian” academies to control the curriculum. Now they use the internet for home schooling. The prejudices are passed from generation to generation. No change in sight.

I can’t imagine any doctor taking the risk of being sued for operating on a minor without parental consent. I can’t imagine anyone dumb (with the letter B) to believe that could happen.

They absolutely need to be punished. A man murdered my aunt, and I think about how many men carry guns now.

If this cockamamie idea is accepted, I propose that the man who fertilized the egg immediately becomes responsible for its support. That means paying pregnant woman’s bills—food, shelter, medical care—to keep the fetus healthy. If a man challenges his paternity, he must take a DNA test.

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.

Weird experience with a group of women my age (80+). Mentioned to them a long ago, very long, discussion with my young son about consent. (It meant she was old enough, sober enough, much more.) Neither the other women there nor their husbands had ever brought it up.

Elderly, white cisgender woman here. Experiences include two violent attempted rapes (clothes torn)—white cisgender men. Unwanted physical manhandling, dozens—same. Unpleasant suggestive remarks, hundreds—same. Any of these, zero—LGBTQ; zero—trans people. We’re trying to solve the wrong problem.

When I lived in Alexandria, I was stuck with “Reagan Airport” myself. Happily, I never heard anyone call it that. As a nation, we have been far too gullible. Celebrities are not who we like to think they are. Robin Williams was said to be an exception (info from blue collar workers on the lots).

William Manchester wrote about how patients at Walter Reed booed John Wayne. They still named an airport after him.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

THE SOUTH CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS You don’t get to profit off Black athletes on Saturday, then spend the rest of the week gerrymandering Black political power out of existence. We know what’s up! Hakeem Jeffries makes the connection perfectly.

I worry about the kids, too. But their parents are homeschooling them or putting them in private schools, so they won’t ever hear the truth. Not sure what to do.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Fellow white people, if you run across an old classmate, slap him on the back, and say,”George, you old son of a bitch,” that’s friendly. Say “you son of a bitch” to someone you don’t know or don’t like, you may have a fight on your hands. Keep your mouth shut.

The point of insurance is that everyone doesn’t need it all the time. This creates a pool of money for those who are needing it at that point in time.

Agreed. Medicare Advantage costs the government $84 billion more than Medicare. That goes to the insurance companies and adds no value.

Presumably you’re not hungry, sick, unable to afford childcare. I volunteered to help homeless people for a long time, and I would have cuddled up to Freddy Krueger to get them shelter.

I met a grandmother in Houston. Augusta works 10-hour shifts at the airport, but her wages don’t cover her basic expenses. Now she and her 5-year-old grandson are facing eviction. In the United States Senate, we’re going to have Augusta’s back.

Trans people are who they are because their brains dictate gender. It’s very complicated for those studying neuroscience, for me, not really. But we have a two-party system and, more often than not, a “lesser of two evils” choice.
