Some comments about changes in my job, and two news stories about a university rape and the suicide of entertainment reporter and former attorney Cheslie Kryst, who was Miss USA of 2019.
The university in the rape story is Indiana University. There is no "University of Indiana."

A few thoughts about the departure of CNN exec Jeff Zucker, who should have been fired years before.

Correction: I misspoke about CBD and hemp. After all, Jim Bakker of all people pushes hemp products on his show.
I copied and pasted the text of the FB post on Google Chrome documents so I could remove the names for privacy reasons. I could have screenshot the post and done the same thing, but this was quicker.
I cannot believe how people cannot see past their upbringing and brainwashing by right-wing media, and this is a direct result of the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 during the Reagan administration. I said it then what the result would be, and I am right.
These people I went to high school with are good people--and many of the people I went to high school with do NOT share the viewpoint of those I excerpted here, but they just cannot shed their belief system. To do so would tell them everything they ever believed in is all a lie. Lots of racism, xenophobia, and sexism in this part of Oregon, which isn't too unlike white Mississippi.
All the deaths from COVID-19 and the tanked economy cannot make them budge. They are lost.
The pro-Trump screed is WAY too long to repost here. It's like 51,000 characters, ten times that allowed by YouTube.

Saturday I received my booster shot for COVID, and, unlike the first two shots, I did and do have side effects from it. Still, it is better than having the disease.

The USSC is chickenshit on the abortion issue when it decided not to issue a stay against the draconian Texas abortion law, which not just bans practically all abortions past six weeks, but it encourages citizens to snitch on those who procure, provide, or get abortions. The majority decision is a classic in doubletalk. I also talk about why there is all this push to overturn Roe v. Wade. Hint: It is about men's desire to control women, and they can't control them anymore.

#WiSpa
#WomensRights
#Antifa
Today there was a protest, apparently by people affiliated with churches in the L.A. area, against the Wi Spa in its apparent support of a man who decided he was going to hang around the women's and girls' section and parade himself in the nude in and out of a hot tub in front of women and children. So-called "Antifa" types displayed gestapo-type tactics by committing assault against the protesters. All in the name of "tolerance" and "inclusivity," of course. Bad, bad optics. There was no reason for them to be there at ALL because to be there against the protesters was to show to the world they stand for male predators and sex offenders.
The woman who made the original videos complaining to the staff at the Wi Spa created a video yesterday saying she had nothing to do with the protest. She was also advised not to attend it. She said she will make a public statement in a few days.

Some misinterpretation of the weirdness at the CPAC event is noted, as well as myself waiting with baited breath over the upcoming abortion pill decision coming from the judge in Texas who is known for his past antiabortion activism.

If you wonder why the phenomenally popular Pinkfong video, Baby Shark Dance, has 9.6 billion views as of this uploading, many of those visits came from the Oklahoma County Detention Center against some arrested men, if the lawsuit is to be believed.
