Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe set up an illegal sting on ACORN in 2009 by playing a pimp and a hooker.  They were trying to get the liberal group in trouble. James and Hannah’s escapades turned out to be the beginning of a long list of scams the two tried to pull.

You might want to go back and read this other Juanita Jean post.

Well … it’s finally, oh dear God finally, ending.

Ya put two crooks Republicans who have never had a real job in their lives in charge, and then act shocked when all the money disappears.

Hannah’s grandmother, Teresa Raia, who you can read more about at the links I provided, is still around my neighborhood and although the Belles of Heaven Republican Women’s Club has dissolved in a foaming mess of rumors, hoochy, men, and one notorious DWI, Teresa is still fermenting revolution against gays, pronouns, and Catholics.

Honey, the wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn in my neighborhood.  Hey, I got to wave bye-bye to Catherine Engelbrecht, too.  There’s a reminder link right here.

Told ya so. There, I said it.

I dunno. Maybe it’s a thing, maybe it’s not. After I saw TLG hiding documents in a bathroom, I thought he’s just nuts.

Or, it’s a thing. And Matt Gaetz is thinging it.

This document was found in a bathroom on the baby changing table at the Capitol.

And here is where it was found. Note that it was found with a remains of a beverage.

Okay, so somebody got confused and thought it was a bar, or does someone dine on the baby changing table? I wouldn’t normally think that but after seeing Lauren Boebert get to third base watching a concert with children, my brain is having difficulty completing synapses.

See? Politics has just gotten so confusing for me.

Y’all, I am not ready to talk about the Ken Paxton “verdict” yet.  I am just too outraged, even for me. But, I will say this.

It was a damn goat rodeo.  And, Democrats have to accept some blame in this situation.

First, you do not, repeat not, hire two lawyers well into their eighties to fight in a battle of mental agility. That’s what a courtroom is. Texas Democrats chose two guys who are all hat and … well hell, their damn cattle wandered off 15 years ago. They both embarrassed themselves and that’s a shame. Their whole trial plan and use of technology was a disaster.

Most importantly, Republicans in the senate sat there for two weeks listening to Paxton’s rampage of lawlessness and thought to themselves, “Well hell, I’ve done worse than that myself, or at least I’m planning to.”  To people who think I’m being flippant about that, I’m most certainly not.  Plus, I can think of at least two Democrats sitting in the Texas senate, and more in the House, who ought to be in jail themselves.  So this isn’t a partisan thing.

I need more time to process this.  Thanks for putting up with me.

Do you remember the hissyfit that Temecula’s Ultra Right-Wing school board trustees pitched over the adoption of a widely-used California social studies curriculum? Yeah, THAT one. The one that nearly cost California taxpayers $1.5 million in fines.

Backed into a corner, the trustees suddenly saw the light, reversed themselves, and adopted the text that they claimed glorified pedophilia as long as they could launch an investigation into the “questionable” paragraphs.

So now they, along with another Left Coast school district, have drawn a line in the sand over a new cause celebre: Pride Flags.

They don’t want ’em.

The Hill has their stories well-documented.

Out from obscurity, a SF bay area school district, the Sunol Glen School District has weighed in on the issue, per The Mercury News.

The district is comprised of one school, an elementary school. Their governing board voted 2-1 to ban the Pride Flag from flying over their school. Just the Pride Flag.

1st Amentment lawsuit, anyone?

Temecula Valley’s school board was considerably slyer. In their vote this week, the board voted 3-2 to ban ALL flags in their schools except for the state and national flags. How brilliant is that?

How can you fault a school board for forbidding the Pride Flag when instead they effectively discriminate against all flags?

Too bad. It reminds me of my previous workplace, a high school, that took pride in the fact that many in their student population came from a wide array of countries. So much so that they displayed the national flags of every one of their students.

Like this:

OK, the US flag is a little bigger. That’s fine.

This news also comes on the heels of the story of a Southern California shop owner who was shot to death for the crime of flying a Pride Flag in front of her store.

What class, huh?

Unlike Sunol Glen SD, three of Temecula Valley SD trustees are already under recall for their past indiscretions. You can do that in California. But not to be outdone, Sunol Glen parents are making sure that two of Sunol Glen’s trustees are about to meet the same fate.

I just want you to know that if Lauren Boebert had done what she did at a public library instead of a concert, the rightwing Christians would have burned her in a bonfire.

Luckily, she was nowhere near a library, as usual. But, nonetheless, she was giving it double-fisted effort!

She blamed her behavior on the stress of her pending divorce.

Far be it from me to slut shame, but ya know, Shame on you, slut.
