[As RR has argued for some years now, we Americans are competing with our enemies to see who will be the first to destroy the historical United States of America.  So far, we are winning.  Thomas Sowell echoes this with his 3aug22 ‘The Point of No Return’ that opens with, “This is an election year. But the issues this year are not about Democrats and Republicans. The big issue is whether this nation has degenerated to a point of no return — a point where we risk destroying ourselves, before our enemies can destroy us.”  gjr]

    Mr Tozer has been quick to admonish RR readers not say ‘gay’ any more. I’m sure it has something to do with newly discovered micro-aggressions against homosexuals. Given that turn of events, does that now give us the concomitant permission to use ‘gay’ in its formerly allowed manner, such as ‘Don we now our gay apparel …’?

    Fantastic opening to the new Sandbox. Thomas Sowell’s The Point of No Return kicks it off nicely.
    Don’t say Gay? No, I am just using the Libs own words against them. Playing Devil’s Advocate. The FL bill barring teaching k-3 graders about sexuality (not age appropriate, beyond the child’s understanding) became bastardized by the Lefty talking points to mean the FL bill is the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. Figured with the Lefties bending over backwards and frontwards to eliminate the Monkey Pox’s victims, ‘Don’t Say Gay’ fits nicely. It pisses the Left off big time when you use their own words. Just holding up a mirror, Dr. Rebane.
    I once got Don Rogers a bit perked when I said silence is violence in a response to Ms. Cooke. :). PS: I have not problem at all with gay men. They are cisgender like me!
    Actually, if one looks are the FL education bill, the ones who are overwhelmingly affected more than any other group is heterosexuals. Heterosexuals cannot teach about a man and a women being sexually attracted to each other either. Thus, the name of the FL bill should be more accurately characterized as Don’t Say Straight.
    Don’t Say Hay. It’s Hey.

    Dr. Rebane @ 10:06 am
    In perhaps Tennessee William’s best play ‘The Glass Menagerie’, a line that stuck with for decades is found in Scene 6:
    Laura: Mother, what are you doing?
    Amanda: They call them “Gay Deceivers”!
    Laura: I won’t wear them!
    Amanda: You will!
    Laura: Why should I?
    Amanda: Because, to be painfully honest, your chest is flat
    Laura: You make it seem like we were setting a trap
    Amanda: All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be”
    Don we now our Gay deceivers. We called gay deceivers ‘falsies’ back in my youth and we were not talking about eyelashes.
    Cue the Puritan fainting couch.

    BillT 1036am – That’s complex stuff Mr Tozer. For the likes of me, I had to take off one shoe to sort out all the possibilities. And I still don’t think I got it right. We are fortunate to have you monitor all the ‘how to’s’ and ‘why for’s’, and keep us on the straight and narrow. For example, I still don’t know what ‘cisgender’ means.

    cisgender means you identify with the biological sex you were born with. If born with a stem on the apple, you identify as a male. If born without a stem on the apple, you identify as a female. Cisgender. Not very fluid. Gay men identify as men, lesbians and straight females identify as females. Rather binary and uncomplicated to us unwoke dinosaurs.

    You are so dramatic. The truth is that we have a very mushy middle of the road President right now and that’s why his approval ratings are so low. Much of it is from the more extreme left that wants more than Biden is willing to give. The abortion issue will be huge in the fall elections as demonstrated in the Kansas vote. Also the Dems scored big every time a Trumper won the primary in their state making them easy pickins. Let the games begin

    If Punchy is correct, the country would be well served by Biden lurching to the left where the Pauls want him to be.
    Roe/Casey left the door open to abortion on demand no matter the age of the infant-to-be. Even the newly born. What a shame the hard left fough tooth and nail for no limits.
    Still no debate as to male reproductive rights.

    Yep – Huuuuuge!
    Look at all the Dems in Kansas that won the Dem primaries!
    It was a clean sweep! Right across the board! Every Dem primary slot won by a Dem!
    Now – maybe Paul can explain what “women’s rights” are.
    He insists they exist but he just can’t bring himself to let us in on what they are. Perhaps Paul doesn’t even know himself. Um – Paul? Didn’t yo momma teach you not to use words you don’t understand? Anyway – Paul’s pretty busy out looking for a bulk purchase of popcorn so’s to be ready for the Dem sweep in the general elections coming up. According to Paul, the Trump voters will switch to Dem en mass so they can vote for abortions right up to the time they can see the whites of the baby’s eyes. Should be thrilling.

How many people will suffer needlessly knowing that the Government possesses the vaccine, but failed to deliver it to those who caught the Pox? Operation Warp Speed this is not. I blame Biden for fiddling around while the Castro neighborhood burns. Dereliction of Duty for sure.

    Punch E Emery was not a newsman. His title was News Director. Whether Psul Emery got the boot or left voluntarily so that some sorely needed new fresh faces could take the slot, Punch stills plays the newsman. Even to this hour, Punchy approaches everyone with his microphone in hand. He does not do discussions, he does interviews. Being the terminal interviewer is a safe spot to be. He asks the questions and is exempt from being asked questions…er….exempt from answering questions. He questikns the interviewee, those with his microphone shoved in their faces are not to question him. Thats they way the media works. Ever see a victim of a house fire or shooting on the news asking the camera questions? Nope. Ok, rarely and the interviewer usually is so caught off guard they choke on their own microphone. Or, evade the question and pretend they did not hear a question directed at them. Thats not how the game is played! violation of rules! He asks, you respond. A one way street. old habits are hard to break, being a paid newsman or not.

    Looks like the ponytail of ignorance and socialist dems spin on the recession is not sticking –
    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in late July that “Democrats inherited an economy that was primed for an historic comeback, and promptly ran it straight into the ground.” Out of 1,000 likely voters surveyed between July 28-31, 59 percent say they agree with McConnell’s statement and 35 percent disagree. The margin of sampling error is ± 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.
    Most likely voters (62 percent) think the United States economy is in a recession, even as the White House and its Big Tech allies attempt to redefine the term. Less than a quarter (23 percent) believe the United States economy is not in a recession, and 15 percent are unsure.

    Illegal cannabis farms raking in billions for cartels are being destroyed in California
    “Investigators in Southern California have discovered the operators are cartels from Mexico, Armenia, and China. Similar cartels have sprung up in the state’s Central Valley farming community, primarily from China and Russia.”…
    Investigators often encounter Carbofuran, an illegal pesticide that is one of the deadliest in the world. The United States outlawed the poison in 2009 after minute amounts were found to kill wildlife such as bald eagles, bears, and owls instantaneously.
    “We know what to look for, and often, we find Carbofuran,” Fuchs said. “If we do, we just back out and bulldoze.”
    “It’s water theft, contamination of groundwater, poisoning of wildlife, illegal chemicals, they leave trash around, squat on property that doesn’t belong to them, and intimidate the neighbors,” said Charles Bostwick, field deputy for Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger.
    “They use workers who are indentured servants that came across the border and would be told they’d be working in Central California on a farm and instead end up in the desert on a marijuana grove,” he added.
    Bostwick has become a protector of water rights in his district, which is a desert area more than 65 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. The farms have depleted aquifers and drained neighborhood wells, leaving rationed residents with even less water.
    “My boss arranged for money to fight water theft because the first bad results of the groves in 2020 were stealing water out of hydrants,” Bostwick said. “Now that there is a drought and your average homeowner is being told to restrict how much they can water their lawns, people are really irritated.”

    “The outcome of the Pennsylvania case shows how far activist justices were willing to go to reach a desired result, even when it conflicted with the plain language of their state constitution. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision also reveals the lack of concern the Democrat justices place on election integrity because at the time the constitutional provisions were adopted by the people in Pennsylvania, citizens recognized that absentee voting would “break down all the safeguards of honest suffrage.”
    If Pennsylvania and public sentiments prove prescient, the Delaware Democrat justices will care no more about election integrity than their fellow Democrats.”

I am checking the boxes for you and the JoAnn, if I may be bold. They sure put us cisgenders in a bad light.
    ‘The Dismantlers’
    San Diego public schools want to overthrow “heteronormativity” and promote “genderqueer,” “non-binary,” “pansexual,” and “two-spirit” identities.
    “According to the district, the gender binary has created an unjust society that distributes “heterosexual and cisgender privilege,” the sexual analog to the concept of “white privilege.” In the presentation, administrators explain that “a heterosexual/cisgender person automatically receives” this privilege, which “benefits members of dominant groups at the expense of members of target groups” and “results in institutional power” for straight men and women. Furthermore, the district claims, this sexual privilege is connected to a broader range of privileges and oppressions via the theory of intersectionality. “Racism, classism, heterosexism, etc. do not exist independently,” the presentation reads. “Multiple forms of discrimination interrelate creating a system of oppression.”
