“Churches of Twin City May Unite in Campaign,” Toronto Globe. June 6, 1930. Page 21. ---- (Special Despatch to The Globe.) Kitchener, June 5. - An evangelistic campaign embracing all the churches in Kitchener and Waterloo may be undertaken late this fall. The suggestion was made to the Kitchener and Waterloo Ministerial Association by a group of laymen and a special meeting will be called to discuss the proposed scheme. The election of officers resulted in Rev. G. F. Barthel, pastor of Zion Church, Kitchener, being chosen President. The Vice-President is Rev. Russell Eaton, pastor of the New Jerusalem Church. Rev. Paul Price, associate pastor at Zion, is the Secretary-Treasurer and the executive members are Rev. F. Matheson of the Waterloo United Church and Rev. J. R. Webb, pastor of the King Street Baptist Church.

Tom Ascol works to incorporate into the Southern Baptist Convention (formed in 1845 by the Southern "Christians" who supported slavery) the latest Republican fact-free, hateful culture war. He's more a political operative than a pastor.  His goals appears to be transforming the SBC into an extension of the Republican fascist agenda.  He's a "hard-line Evangelical" which these days means anti-abortion, racist, bigoted, homophobic, and pushes "traditional" roles for women.  Also turns to extreme right wing media to promote his christo-fascist agenda.

Zionism of the early 20th century was not a liberation movement (and still isnt) , it was a political movement of upper class assimilated Jews who were explicit about the fact that they wanted to colonize Palestine, they literally ised the word colonize, and several prominent members had internalized antisemitism, and were perfectly willing to leave behind poor rural Jews if that was what it took to get theirs. The fact that this assimilationism was in the aim of avoiding antisemitism doesn't make it okay and if you want to talk about how Zionism became a thing you need to talk about all of it.

Liddle Dinky-Winky Dummy donnie trump can't even run his Emasculated Miniscule Mouth because Strong Judge Chutkan's and Sniper Jack Smith's Justice just juxtaposed the Liddle Orange Snowflake's Delusion that he's a free "man" who can do and say whatever he wants, about anyone and anything he wants, at any time and place he wants, as if he's not a criminal defendant in numerous criminal cases that'll probably result in Liddle donnie being Locked Up by several non-white judges, Losing the Popular Vote a Third Time, and being Unable to Pardon Himself from his Life-in-Prison Sentence.

donald trump Just Confirmed He's Under Investigation For Firing James Comey By Kate Samuelson June 16, 2017 9:52 AM EDT “I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt,” donald trump wrote on Twitter Friday morning. On June 14, the Washington Post reported on allegations that trump was under investigation for possible obstruction of justice, citing unidentified officials. trump denied the report, calling it a “phony story,” and a spokesman for trump’s lawyer questioned the legality of leaking information in a statement to TIME, but did not deny the report. The man trump is thought to be referencing in his tweet is Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who wrote a memo that provided a basis for Comey’s dismissal.

The Black House was a building that formerly stood at 6114 California St. in San Francisco, California, in the United States. The house was used by Anton LaVey as the headquarters of his Church of Satan from 1966 until his death in 1997. LaVey conducted Satanic seminars and rituals at the house; one of the most notorious such rituals was the Satanic baptism of his daughter Zeena Schreck in 1967, punctuated by LaVey speaking the words "Hail Zeena! Hail Satan!" over the nude body of a female acting as the 'Satanic Altar'. Public ceremonies were performed at the house until 1972. LaVey lost ownership of the house in 1991 as the result of a court settlement resulting from his separation from Diane Hegarty, but LaVey was allowed to reside at the Black House until his death from poor health, increasing paranoia, and a pulmonary edema on October 29, 1997 at St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco, CA. Following LaVey's death, members of the Church of Satan unsuccessfully attempted to raise funds to repurchase the house, and it was demolished on October 17, 2001. A duplex now stands in its place.

“If there are ten thousand medieval peasants who create vampires by believing them real, there may be one—probably a child—who will imagine the stake necessary to kill it. But a stake is only stupid wood; the mind is the mallet which drives it home.” ― Stephen King, It

On February 2, 1998, Anton LaVey's estranged daughter Zeena Schreck and her then husband Nikolas Schreck published a nine-page "fact sheet", in which they endorsed Wright's earlier allegations and claimed that many more of LaVey's stories about his life had been false.
LEGEND: Anton LaVey studied criminology at San Francisco City College during the Korean War.
REALITY: SFCC has no record of Anton LaVey's enrollment at any time.
SOURCES: SFCC records (Wright, "SD", page 68).
LEGEND: Anton LaVey purchased the house at 6114 California Street (which would later become the headquarters of the Church of Satan - the infamous "Black House") because he discovered on first inspection that it was the former brothel of Barbary Coast madam Mammy Pleasant. The house was honeycombed with trapdoors and secret passageways, built by Pleasant to elude police raids.
REALITY: 6114 was Anton LaVey's parents' home. It was never a brothel, nor did Mammy Pleasant ever live or work there. Anton LaVey's parents first allowed Anton LaVey and his first wife Carole to live in the house, then transferred ownership of it to Anton LaVey and his second wife Diane in 1971. Such secret passages and hidden rooms that exist were constructed by Anton LaVey.
SOURCES: Relatives, San Francisco property records (Michael & Gertrude Levey, Joint Tenancy Grant Deed, July 9, 1971).
LEGEND: On the night of April 30, 1966 (the German Satanic festival of Walpurgisnacht), Anton LaVey in a "blinding flash" declared himself the High Priest of Satan, proclaimed that the Age of Satan had begun, and founded the Church of Satan as a religious institution.
REALITY: In 1966 Anton LaVey supplemented his income by presenting weekend lectures on exotic and occult topics, and by conducting "Witches' Workshops". He charged $2 a head, filling his living room with the curious and establishing a local reputation as an eccentric. Professional publicist Edward Webber suggested to Anton LaVey that he "would never make any money by lecturing on Friday nights for donations … it would be better to form some sort of church and get a charter from the State of California … I told Anton at the time that the press was going to flip out over all this and that we would get a lot of notoriety". In the summer of 1966, long after the fictional founding-date invented later, a newspaper article about Anton LaVey's lectures offhandedly referred to him as "priest of the Devil's church". This mixture of Webber's idea and the newspaper's characterization resulted in the creation of the Church of Satan as a business and publicity vehicle. Jack Webb, a San Francisco Police investigator who knew Anton LaVey from the "Lost Weekend" nightclub, also suggested that he should form a church of some kind to exploit his recondite knowledge.
SOURCES: Edward Webber (interview by Aquino 6/2/91), Jack Webb, Diane LaVey.
LEGEND: Anton LaVey's trademark shaved head was the result of a ceremonial head-shaving on April 30, 1966, to formalize his role as High Priest of Satan. This ritual was performed in the tradition of the Yezidi devil-worshipping tribes of Iraq, who were said to have carried out a similar ceremony.
REALITY: Anton LaVey shaved his head in the summer of 1966 due to a light-hearted dare from his wife. The "LaVey look" had nothing to do with the Church of Satan founding nor any mystical meaning attached to it later. Nor do Yezidi qawwals (religious teachers) shave their heads.
SOURCES: Diane LaVey; Ethel S. Drower, Peacock Angel, 1941; C.J. Edmonds, A Pilgrimage to Lalish, Royal Asiatic Society, 1967.
LEGEND: In 1966 Anton LaVey personally designed the Baphomet emblem of the Church of Satan. He owns the right to this design, claiming it cannot be reproduced without obtaining licensing rights from the Church of Satan.
REALITY: The Baphomet emblem used by the Church of Satan was neither original to it nor created by Anton LaVey, hence cannot be trademarked. The original Baphomet dates at least as far back as the medieval Knights Templar. The artwork for the current emblem's goat/pentagram first appears in a 1931 book by Oswald Wirth. The complete emblem with the added circles and "LVYThN" Hebrew letters appears on the cover of a book by Maurice Bessy two years before the creation of the Church of Satan. Early photos of Church activities often show Anton LaVey or his disciples using the Bessy book as a photo-prop because of its prominent cover-Baphomet, and he included that book in his Compleat Witch bibliography. The Baphomet, including this rendition of it, is clearly in the public domain.
SOURCES: Oswald Wirth, La fran-maconnerie rendue intelligible a ces adeptes - II, "Le compagnon", Paris: Derry-Livres, 1931, page #60; Maurice Bessy, A Pictorial History of Magic and the Supernatural, London: Spring Books, 1964 [the original edition of this work - Histoire en 1000 images de la magie - was published in 1961 by Editions du Pont Royal]; Thomas H. Hilton, Sex and the Occult, Vol. I, Los Angeles: Centurion Press, 1974;Church of Satan members, The Black Flame (a 1980s Church of Satan magazine).
LEGEND: Anton LaVey wrote the Satanic Bible, his principal work, to fulfill his congregation's need for a scriptural guide.
REALITY: The Satanic Bible was conceived as a commercial vehicle by paperback publisher Avon Books. Avon approached Anton LaVey for some kind of Satanic work to cash in on the Satanism & witchcraft fad of the late 1960s. Pressed for material to meet Avon's deadline, Anton LaVey resorted to plagiarism, assembling extracts from an obscure 1896 tract - Might is Right by Ragnar Redbeard into a "Book of Satan" for the SB, and claiming its authorship by himself. [Ironically these MiR passages are the ones most frequently quoted by Anton LaVey disciples.] Another third of the SB consists of John Dee's "Enochian Keys", taken directly but again without attribution from Aleister Crowley's Equinox. The SB's "Nine Satanic Statements", one of the Church of Satan's central doctrines, is a paraphrase, again unacknowledged, of passages from Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. The last words in the SB - "Yankee Rose" - have been puzzled over for years by readers. "YR" is actually the name of an old popular tune in Anton LaVey's nightclub repertoire.
SOURCES: Anton LaVey, The Satanic Bible; Ragnar Redbeard, Might is Right, Port Townsend: Loompanics (reprint), 1896; Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged (Galt's speech, ca. pages #936-993); "Yankee Rose" by Sidney Holden & Abe Frankl (Irving Berlin Music, 1926).
LEGEND: Anton LaVey claimed that at the height of the Church of Satan's popularity there were hundreds of thousands of formal members.
REALITY: Diane LaVey (who administered the Church as High Priestess 1966-1984), Michael A. Aquino (senior Magister of the Church and Editor of its Cloven Hoof newsletter 1971-1975), and Zeena LaVey (High Priestess of the Church 1985-1990) have all affirmed that the figures claimed by Anton LaVey were grossly exaggerated. The membership of the Church of Satan never exceeded 300 individuals, several of whom were nonmember subscribers to the newsletter or Anton LaVey friends receiving complimentary mailings.
SOURCES: Diane LaVey, Michael A. Aquino, Zeena LaVey.
LEGEND: Anton LaVey claimed to be a multimillionaire, owning three homes in northern California, a convent in Italy, a chateau in France, a fleet of luxury automobiles, a 185-foot yacht, three salvage ships, and other property.
REALITY: During Diane [LaVey] Hegarty's 1988-91 lawsuit against Anton LaVey, and Anton LaVey's subsequent 1991 filing for bankruptcy, Anton LaVey stipulated under oath that he owned nothing more than 50% of the house his parents had given jointly to him and Diane, along with the personal items he kept therein. Anton LaVey's final years were subsidized by California state aid. Assessors declared the house to be in such poor repair as to be nearly worthless on the real estate market. Family members have attested to the fact that by the mid-1970s the LaVeys lived in near-poverty, frequently having to rely upon Anton LaVey's father's generosity. According to other LaVey relatives, Anton LaVey continued to rely on handouts from friends and relatives until the end of his life.
SOURCES: Hegarty v. LaVey (San Francisco Superior Court Case #891863), Anton LaVey Bankruptcy, Chapter 7 (U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern California, Case #91-34251), Zeena LaVey, other relatives.
LEGEND: Anton LaVey presented himself as a loving family man.
REALITY: Anton LaVey violently beat his wife Diane throughout their marriage. In 1984 a police report was made describing Diane being strangled into unconsciousness by Anton LaVey, who was in such a murderous rage that his daughter Karla had to pull him off Diane and drag her outside the house to save her life. Anton LaVey routinely physically beat and abused those of his female disciples with whom he had sex, forcing them into prostitution as part of his "Satanic counseling" and collecting their earnings. In 1986 Anton LaVey was a passive witness to the sexual molestation of his own grandson by a longtime friend who was later convicted of sex crimes with minors. In 1990 Anton LaVey informed a mentally-ill stalker of his daughter Zeena of her whereabouts and the time & location of a public appearance she was scheduled to make, deliberately endangering her life.
SOURCES: San Francisco Police records of ASL attack on Diane LaVey, Zeena LaVey, Diane LaVey, Stanton LaVey.
LEGEND: Anton LaVey had a deeply affectionate relationship with Togare, his pet lion.
REALITY: While Anton LaVey was always careful to portray himself to the public as an animal lover, in private he was cruel to and neglectful of his pets. When he was given Togare as a cub in 1964, he was ill-equipped to deal with such an exotic, wild animal despite his pretensions as a circus lion-tamer. As Togare became larger and more unruly, Anton LaVey frequently used an electric cattle prod to hurt and frighten him into submission. Many animal-rights proponents, including Togare's final owner Tippi Hedren, agree that it is detrimental to a wild animal's development to be raised in a domestic environment. Anton LaVey was arrested due to Togare's unruly behavior, and Anton LaVey was ordered to donate him to the San Francisco Zoo. After complying, Anton LaVey made only two visits to Togare. Due to the trauma of his early life, Togare needed special care at the Zoo and at every animal-care facility in which he subsequently lived.
SOURCES: Jack Castor (Lion Keeper, San Francisco Zoo), Diane LaVey, Zeena LaVey, Tippi Hedren (The Cats of Shamballa, McGraw-Hill, 1985).
LEGEND: Anton LaVey had a deeply affectionate relationship with his other pets.
REALITY: In the late 1960s Anton LaVey acquired a Doberman Pinscher (Loki) as an accent to his "sinister" image. Anton LaVey never took the time to housebreak or train Loki, and relegated him to the overgrown and unkempt backyard of the house, regardless of weather. If Loki ever tried to slip into the house for shelter, Anton LaVey routinely used Togare's cattle-prod on him to terrify him back outside. In his old age Loki developed such severe arthritis that he could not climb the stairs to the back door to eat, and began wasting away from malnutrition. Anton LaVey then gave him to one of his prostitute "students", who at least saw that Loki had a warm, inside home until he died a few months later. During her young childhood Anton LaVey's daughter Zeena once awoke late at night to hear slamming sounds and the shrieking of her German Shepherd puppy. Running downstairs, she saw Anton LaVey savagely beating the cowering, cornered dog with a wooden plank. When Zeena begged Anton LaVey to stop and asked him what the dog had done to deserve such treatment, Anton LaVey screamed, "She won't listen to me! I'm going to force her to obey me!" Anton LaVey continued beating the dog until her face was covered with her blood, then dropped the plank and left the dog quivering in the hallway, so injured and frightened that she wouldn't let even Zeena come near her. This incident left the dog traumatized for a long time afterwards.
SOURCES: Diane LaVey, Zeena LaVey.
LEGEND: On Anton LaVey's original death certificate the date of his demise was recorded as October 31, 1997 (Halloween).
REALITY: An official investigation by the City of San Francisco determined that Anton LaVey's actual date of death was October 29, 1997 and that the "Halloween" date had been illegally written on the document.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 1437: Psalm 23:4 Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness, I fear no harm, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff--they comort me.
TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 983: Isaiah 59:11 We all growl like bears And moan like doves. We hope for redress, and there is none; For victory, and it is far from us.
Matthew 3:16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. Matthew 3:17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
Matthew 10:16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Matthew 10:17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. Matthew 10:18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. Matthew 10:19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say Matthew 10:20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Matthew 10:21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Matthew 10:23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. Matthew 10:24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. Matthew 10:25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household! Matthew 10:26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. Matthew 10:27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. Matthew 10:30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. Matthew 10:33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 822 and 823: 2 Kings 18:28 And the Rabshakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in Judean: "Hear the words of the Great King, the King of Assyria. 2 Kings 18:29 Thus said the king: Don't let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you from my hands. 2 Kings 18:30 Don't let Hezekiah make you rely on the Lord, saying: The Lord will surely save us: this city will not fall into the hands of the king of Assyria. 2 Kings 18:31 Don't listen to Hezekiah. For thus said the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me and come out to me, so that you may all eat from your vines and your fig trees and drink water from your cisterns, 2 Kings 18:32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own, a land of grain [fields] and vineyards, of bread and wine, of olive oil and honey, so that you may live and not die. Don't listen to Hezekiah, who misleads you by saying, 'The Lord will save us.' 2 Kings 18:33 Did any of the gods of other nations save his land from the king of Assyria? 2 Kings 18:34 Where were the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where were the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? [And] did they save Samaria from me? 2 Kings 18:35 Which among all the gods of [those] countries saved their countries from me, that the Lord should save Jerusalem from me?" 2 Kings 18:36 But the people were silent and did not say a word in reply; for the king's order was: "Do not answer him." 2 Kings 18:37 And so Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the palace, Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and they reported to him what the Rabshakeh had said. 2 Kings 19:1 When King Hezekiah heard this, he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the House of the Lord. 2 Kings 19:2 He also sent Eliakim, who as in charge of the palace, Shebna the scribe, and the senior priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amor. 2 Kings 19:3 They said to him, "Thus said Hezekiah: This day is a day of distress, of chastisement, and of disgrace. The babes have reached the birthstool, but the strength to give birth is lacking. 2 Kings 19:4 Perhaps the Lord your God will take note of all the words of the Rabashakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to blaspheme the living God, and will mete out judgment for the words that the Lord your God has heard--if you will offer up prayer for the surviving remnant." 2 Kings 19:5 When King Hezekiah's ministers came to Isaiah, 2 Kings 19:6 Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master as follows: Thus said the Lord: Do not be frightened by the words of blasphemy against Me that you have heard from the minions of the king of Assyria. 2 Kings 19:7 I will delude him; he will hear a rumor and return to his land, and I will make him fall by the sword in his land."

Yay! It's The End of 14 88/HH and HH/88022!!! The Orange You Glad For Liddle donnie trump Erection Interference Storm Is Here! MN Supreme Court says Tearful Liddle Criminal Defendant trump campaign not allowed to intervene in ballot petition The court did, however, offer the Stinky Dinky-Winky donnie trump campaign an upcoming October deadline to file a brief and join the petition. Author: Naasir Akailvi Published: 8:08 PM CDT October 14, 2023 Updated: 9:22 AM CDT October 15, 2023 ST PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Supreme Court has turned down the Trump campaign's attempt to intervene in a ballot petition that seeks to ban the former president from appearing on the ballot in the state in 2024. The ruling, published on Oct. 13, is the latest piece in a larger ongoing effort nationwide by organizations asking election officials to disqualify Trump based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. But Minnesota is the first state where court action has been initiated because of a state law that allows voters to directly petition the Minnesota Supreme Court to disqualify a candidate. While the campaign's petition was struck down, the court did outline a path for the campaign to get involved in the ongoing litigation, which stems from Trump's alleged involvement in the events of Jan. 6, 2021. According to the court document, a request from the Republican Party of Minnesota to intervene in the matter was granted, but Donald Trump did not file a response to the petition. Instead, Tearful trump's campaign team, Dirty Dumpster Diaper Dummy donald j. trump for President 2024, Inc., filed a response that included a footnote stating it was the legal entity charged with securing Trump's election in 2024. According to the campaign, Incestuous Pedophile Rapist Dirty Daddy donnie trump didn't respond because he was not "subject to the personal jurisdiction of the court", said the filing. The petition, filed with the Minnesota Supreme Court, argues that Trump is disqualified from public office under the rarely used “insurrection clause” of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Petitioners, including Democratic former Minnesota Secretary of State Joan Growe, argue that anyone who has sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and then engages in insurrection is barred from ever holding public office again. The court gave the Tepid Tearful Trampled donnie trump campaign until Oct. 18 to file a brief that would allow the campaign to participate in oral arguments in the matter, which are scheduled to begin on Nov. 2. https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/mn-supreme-court-trump-campaign-intervene-ballot-petition/89-fd9ca8a3-41c4-4ea0-a633-63325eeb3c40

Yay! It's the end of 88/HH!!! The Orange You Glad For Liddle donnie trump Erection Interference Storm Is Here! U.S. President Joe Biden raises $71 million in 3rd quarter, far outpacing Tepid Tearful Trampled Liddle donnie trump and the Republican field Joey Garrison USA TODAY Published 8:01 a.m. ET October 15, 2023 Updated 8:08 a.m. ET October 15, 2023 WASHINGTON - America's Favorite President Joe Biden's 2024 campaign said it hauled in more than $71 million in the third fundraising quarter, giving his reelection efforts a total war chest of $91 million - more than double the cash on hand of Republican Election, White House, Senate, and House Loser Trashy Trailing Tearful Tanking Tepid donnie trump. America's Favorite President Joe Biden's $91 million available cash to spend is the most ever for a Democratic presidential candidate at this stage of a campaign, according to the Biden campaign. The Tepid Trailing trump campaign's low energy, lack of relatable and pertinent message, and donald's refusal to listen to and obey his wife's suggestions to "stop being such a damned rambling and ridiculous retard on stage!" resulted in the tanked trump campaign raising a mere $45.5 million in the third quarter, which began July 1 and ended Sept. 30., giving the twice-impeached incestuous pedophile rapist and criminal defendant $37.5 million on hand as he continues to humiliate himself, his wife, his children, all current and former Republican voters, and whatever you'd call the dumpster fire remnants of the former Republican party. U.S. President Joe Biden's fundraising figures include money raised by joint campaign committees and the Democratic National Committee's fundraising arm in addition to Biden's 2024 reelection campaign. As an incumbent, President Biden's fundraising is benefitting from only nominal Democratic opposition while Republicans have spent heavily in their primary as candidates repeatedly mock, shame, and disgrace the cowardly and weak draft-dodging bone spurs loser, liddle donnie trump, on every debate stage in the United States. As America's Undeniably Favorite President of All Time, President Joe Biden's campaign said more than 1.4 million individual donors have now contributed to Biden's reelection including 240,000 new donors who did not contribute in 2020. The $71 million raised by the Biden campaign nearly equals the total raised by Tearful Trounced Tiny Hands donnie trump and his closest trailing Republican contenders, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, during the same span. The DeSantis campaign raked in $15million and the Haley campaign $11 million in the third quarter. Julie Chávez Rodriguez, Biden's campaign manger, said the fundraising reflects "the very real enthusiasm and support" for the Biden-Harris reelection bid. "These numbers are a testament to one of our core objectives early in this campaign: raise the resources needed to run an aggressive campaign that will win in November 2024," she said. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/10/15/biden-2024-fundraising-trump-campaign-third-quarter/71187532007/

After calling the devastation and inhuman cruelty of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel "Incredible" and reading "The Snake" immediately after the terrorist attacks, donald trump further chided Israel just days after attack with: ‘Netanyahu let us down’ His meandering remarks were the most extensive since the deadly weekend attacks. By Kimberly Leonard 10/11/2023 11:35 PM EDT PALM BEACH, Fla. — He criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called Hezbollah “very smart.” Both less than a week after the attack on Israel. It was, as billed, a speech about the atrocities abroad. In the most Trumpian way possible. Speaking to more than 3,500 supporters at a Palm Beach, Fla., convention center, former President Donald Trump spent nearly two hours recounting how he helped move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and boasted about signing the Abraham Accords, which formalized diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. But he also meandered among various topics, zig-zagging from the weekend terrorist attack in Israel that has captured the world’s attention to criticisms of his GOP rivals, crime in Washington, D.C., boasts about rising in the polls despite multiple indictments and even mentioned the assault on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul. Throughout his speech, Trump, who leads his GOP presidential rivals, painted a picture of an alternate universe he thought would have existed had he been reelected in 2020 instead of President Joe Biden. “Israel would be flourishing, they would have no problem,” he said. “Iran would have never played that game.” Instead, he said, the world became full of “chaos, bloodshed, war, terror, death,” and he warned World War III was on the horizon. He called Biden “grossly incompetent,” and described members of the Biden administration as “stupid people.” He also directly went after Netanyahu, who he asserted did not help the United States in the drone strike in 2020 that killed Suleimani, the leader of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps responsible for secret military operations. At the time of the killing, Netanyahu praised Trump for acting “swiftly, forcefully and decisively” but Trump on Wednesday chastised the Israeli prime minister. “I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down,” he said. “That was a very terrible thing.” His disapproval of Netanyahu drew an immediate response from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is competing with Trump for the GOP nomination and posted on X that “it is absurd that anyone, much less someone running for President, would choose now to attack our friend and ally, Israel.” The remarks, delivered to the Club 47 Trump fan club, were the first extensive comments Trump made on Israel after saying little about the topic during a campaign stop in New Hampshire Monday. Since the attack on Israel on Saturday that has since broken out into war that threatens to destabilize the Middle East, more than 1,200 Israelis and over 1,100 militants and Palestinians have been killed. The State Department said 22 Americans were among those killed and 17 more haven’t been accounted for. United States President Joe Biden has said the U.S. stands with Israel, and the White House plans to ask Congress to approve aid, though the exact request is still coming together and, at the direction of impeached and shamefully and repeatedly indicted former president donald trump, the Republican Party has intentionally sabotaged the U.S. Congress to make it impossible to aid U.S. ally Israel in their time of need. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/11/netanyahu-trump-chides-israel-hamas-war-00121142

donald trump made up injury to dodge Vietnam service, his former lawyer testifies By Leo Shane III February 27, 2019 WASHINGTON — donald trump acknowledged to advisors that he made up a fake injury to avoid military service, because “I wasn’t going to Vietnam,” his former lawyer told lawmakers during testimony on Wednesday. Michael Cohen, who also worked as a fixer for trump before his election, said he was tasked with tamping down criticism of the military deferment as the presidential candidate simultaneously mocked Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, for being regarded as a military hero. “I like people who weren’t captured," trump said during a July 2015 interview. “Mr. trump claimed (his medical deferment) was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery,” Cohen told members of the House Oversight Committee. “He told me not to answer the specific questions by reporters but rather offer simply the fact that he received a medical deferment. “He finished the conversation with the following comment: ‘You think I'm stupid, I wasn't going to Vietnam.’” https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/02/27/trumps-lawyer-no-basis-for-presidents-medical-deferment-from-vietnam/

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 118 and 119: Exodus 4:9 And if they are not convinced by both these signs and still do not heed you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground, and it--the water that you take from the Nile--will turn to blood on the dry ground."
TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 382 and 383: Deuteronomy 4:7 For what great nation is there that has a god so close at hand as is the Lord our God whenever we call upon Him? Deuteronomy 4:8 Or what great nation has laws and rules as perfect as all this Teaching that I set before you this day? Deuteronomy 4:9 But take utmost care and wtch yourselves scrupulously, so that you do not forget the things that you saw wit hyour own eyes and so that they do not fade from your mind as long as you live. And make them known to your children and to your children's children. Deuteronomy 4:10 The day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when the Lord said to Me, "Gather the people to Me that I may let them hear My words, in order that they may learn to revere Me as long as they live on earth, and may so teach their children."
TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 116 and 117: Exodus 3:1 Now Moses, tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, drove the flock into the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. Exodus 3:2 And angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire out of a bush. He gazed, and there was a bush all aflame, yet the bush was not consumed. Exodus 3:3 Moses said, "I must turn aside to look at this marvelous sight; why doesn't the bush burn up?" Exodus 3:4 When the Lord saw that he had turned aside to look, God called him out of the bush: "Moses! Moses!" He answered, "Here I am." Exodus 3:5 And He said, "Do not come closer. Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground. Exodus 3:6 I am," He said, "the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. Exodus 3:7 And the Lord continued, "I have marked well the plight of My people in Egypt and have heeded their outcry because of their taskmasters; yes, I am mindful of their sufferings. Exodus 3:8 I have come down to rescue them from the Egyptians and to bring them out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey, the region of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Exodus 3:9 Now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me; moreover, I have seen how the Egyptians oppress them. Exodus 3:10 Come, therefore, I will send you to Pharaoh, and you shall free My people, the Israelites, from Egypt."

Psalm 18:7 In my distress I called on the Lord, cried out to my God; in His temple He heard my voice; my cry to Him reached His ears. Psalm 18:8 The the earth rocked and quaked; the foundations fo the mountains shook, rocked by His indignation; Psalm 18:9 smoke went up from His nostrils, from His mouth came devouring fire; live coals blazed from from Him. Psalm 18:10 He bent the sky and came down, thick cloud beneath His feet. Psalm 18:11 He mounted a cherub and flew, gliding on the wings of the wind.

since zionists want to act obtuse about why we're criticizing a superbowl ad, here's an explanation from before the ad even aired. it was openly designed to act as pro-genocide propaganda. fighting antisemitism is a worthy goal but that's not what's happening here:
"The New England Patriots’ 81-year-old owner, Robert Kraft, writes seven-digit checks to the right-wing Israeli lobbying machine AIPAC, but his personal, political, and financial ties to Israel run deeper than the occasional donation. The multibillionaire married his late wife, Myra, in Israel in 1963 when Kraft, then 22, was older than the nation itself. Together they set up numerous business, athletic, and charitable ties to Israel, a record of which is proudly proclaimed on the Kraft company website. In particular, the Kraft Group boasts of its 'Touchdown in Israel' program, where NFL players are given free, highly organized vacations to see 'the holy land' and come back to spread the word about 'the only democracy in the Middle East.' (Not every NFL player has chosen to take part.) Kraft also attends fundraisers for the Israel Defense Forces, currently—and in open view of the world—committing war crimes in Gaza."
Now, as Israel wages war against the civilians of Gaza—more than 25,000 Palestinian have been killed with at least 10,000 of them children—Kraft is again flexing his financial and political muscles in order to defend the indefensible. His Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (FCAS) will be spending an estimated $7 million to buy a Super Bowl ad titled 'Stop Jewish Hate' that will be seen by well over 100 million people. Under Kraft’s direction, the ad’s goal is to create a propaganda campaign to counter the reports and images from Gaza that young people are consuming on social media. 
... The content of the Super Bowl ad is not yet known, but FCAS has afforded Kraft the opportunity to make the rounds on cable news saying things like, 'It’s horrible to me that a group like Hamas can be respected and people in the United States of America can be carrying flags or supporting them.'
This is Kraft enacting the mission of FCAS: fostering disinformation. He is far from subtle: A Palestinian flag becomes a 'Hamas flag,' and people like the hundreds of thousands who took to the streets of Washington, D.C., last month to call for a cease-fire and end the violence are expressions of the 'rise in antisemitism.' Without a sense of irony or the horrors happening on the ground in Gaza, Kraft says he is giving $100 million of his own money to FCAS, because 'hate leads to violence.'
Let’s be clear: What Kraft is doing politically and what he will be using the Super Bowl as a platform to do is dangerous. He appears to think any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic. For Kraft, it is Jews like myself, rabbis, and Holocaust survivors calling for a cease-fire and a Free Palestine that are part of the problem. Kraft seems to think that opposition to Israel, the IDF, and the AIPAC agenda is antisemitism.
... Right-wing Christian nationalists, with their belief in a Jewish state existing alongside their conviction that Jews are going to Hell, are welcome in Netanyahu’s Israel and Kraft’s coalition. Left-wing anti-Zionist Jews are not. The greatest foghorn of this evangelical right-wing 'love Israel, hate Jews' perspective is, of course, Donald Trump. Kraft, while speaking of being troubled by events like the Charlottesville Nazi march and the right-wing massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue, counts Donald Trump as a close friend and even donated $1 million to his presidential inauguration.
No one who provides cover for the most powerful, public antisemite in the history of US politics should ever be taken seriously on how to best fight antisemitism. No one who funds AIPAC and the IDF and opposes a cease-fire amid the carnage should be allowed a commercial platform at the Super Bowl. But given that the big game is always an orgy of militarism, blind patriotism, and big budget commercials that lie through their teeth, perhaps that ad could not be more appropriate. We can do better than Kraft’s perspective on how to fight antisemitism. Morally, we don’t have a choice."

while corporations like tumblr's parent or any other platform SHOULD use their corporate might to stand up to government or evangelical interference, they often won't or really can't, and i hope SOME of the ire people have for tumblr staff, whether warranted or not, goes towards the real culprits of MOST of our problems online right now - the US Evangelical White Nationalist Industrial Complex. THEY are the reason that everything mature (or just shit they don't like) is being shut down - they have created culture war campaigns against porn or to "save the children" or "save trafficking victims" that are not actually about nor do anything helpful to fix the problems with any of those things, in an attempt to CONTROL US ALL, usually for some very specific people's monetary gain as well.
because when they created a big public campaign that seemingly everyone could agree on (bad things happening to children is bad!), the CREDIT CARD COMPANIES were forced to act. and they don't give a fuck about anybody except themselves. and everyone is at the MERCY of the credit card companies bc they have chosen the capitalism house of cards - so when Visa and MasterCard say jump, Apple says HOW HIGH? and when Apple says jump, all the platforms like Tumblr, and Facebook/Instagram/Meta, and Twitter/X or whatever, and YouTube/Google say HOW HIGH, because they need their apps in the Apple store.
and that doesn't even take into account the lobbying and public push of US elected officials, across bipartisan lines, to enforce this as well. while you were complaining about Tumblr staff, have you educated yourself about the DANGER of KOSA, the Kids' Online Safety Act? these US senators and congress people can get reelected because they can say look! i cosponsored a bill that helps kids! and wipe their hands of the DOMINO effect this shit will have.
because whether it is the credit card companies or a law like KOSA, the way the platforms from Tumblr, to Apple, to Facebook will OVERCOMPENSATE to legally cover their ass will be DETRIMENTAL to us all, even outside the US. requiring ID information to CONFIRM someone is over 18 to access certain info or else the US government could sue them, shit like that. banning ANY sensitive content with inaccurate autoflagging technology and underpaid/staffed human moderation, as tumblr and tiktok have been struggling with, and even inadvertently suppressing speech (if you want to be charitable), all in the hopes that Apple won't remove their app from their store or the US government won't hold them liable for the things their users post. (PLEASE LEARN ABOUT SECTION 230).
yes, we should always call for the platforms we are on to do better but remember there are BIGGER reasons for what is going on and these are the symptoms of a larger DISEASE. pay ATTENTION.

This is not about weather, this is about using record small turnout in a state that is 85% white and heavily evangelical to promote Trump campaign as unstoppable.
Low numbers mean nothing outside of Iowa in a national election.
Also, if Biden had the lowest numbers in 20 years, the media would call his campaign over.

loook i get why the idea of riding the "anti/pro" fandom disk horse makes people gag a little in their mouth and try to opt out entirely, but here's why i went from feeling exactly the same way to taking a firm profiction stance. I've been meaning to make this post for a while.
~10 years ago, I posted a fic for the first time and it got its own harassment campaign. The fic wasn't even sexual, and wasn't going to be (it remains incomplete). It was accurately rated T on fanfiction.net. Anyone in the Fairy Tail fandom will understand this: I literally got harassed for writing a "Lucy leaves the guild" fic💀.
After many nice comments, someone left a pretty nasty one. Hurt, I messaged them back. They acted super attacked that I'd responded (lmao) and after we argued, threatened to "rip my shitty story apart in the comments section" if I responded again. I told them "go ahead lol."
They went ahead.
Now know that it was a relatively small harassment campaign, but at the time, it was devastating. Right around then, I wound up in the hospital. After I got out, I went to excitedly check my fic, and found several reviews saying things I wouldn't repeat to my worst enemy. I was suicide-baited more than once, told "thank fuck you finally abandoned this shitty story, dumb cunt," stuff like that.
There were several accounts involved, and I can't say for sure, but I suspect at least a couple different people were involved, though probably at least half of it was one person.
All the other comments were screeching about how I hadn't updated, mostly. "NO UPDAAATEE WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO MEEEE??!!!" was one that stood out after I'd been miserable in a hospital for an extended period of time.
Idk what people think is going on when FT fic authors write this trope, and frankly I don't give a fuck. Because while I was partly writing the story out of some young, cringe feminist rage, I also did genuinely have a real story I was compelled to tell. I was inspired by another, popular fic I loved which used the trope to talk about how trying to shoulder our burdens alone really just hurts both ourselves and everyone who cares about us.
My own story was ultimately going to have similar themes, with more focus on strength, what it means, and in what contexts earning and having it actually matters. In retrospect, no wonder I wound up in hot water, because at the time "Lucy vs. Strength vs. Misogyny" was the FT fandom's Designated Nonsensically Activist Debate™. But that's partly why i wanted to write about it; engaging with the fandom had gotten me thinking about it 🤷‍♂️
Not too long after that, FFNet oh-so-benevolently granted us the ability to delete comments from our own stories (they never took my reports seriously at all, afaik). I deleted all or most of the harassers' comments (may still be a one or two up, and i'm fairly sure there's a couple comments defending my fic from the harassment) without saving screenshots, which I really regret now. I was just so mortified and full of self-loathing about the whole thing that i wanted to forget it completely. Something that had brought me joy at a very lonely, vulnerable period of my life had turned so negative, and i couldn't even tell the people closest to me about it without being made fun of for writing anime fan fiction.
I didn't understand why this happened at the time, but--after a period of trying to forget/bid out of it all with a slight anti lean (a common approach I see people use, and one which I'm not proud of adopting)--I just had to figure out What the Fuck Even Happened There. And I'm telling you, after years of reflecting, wrestling with both sides, and educating myself, that this "status quo of harassment" culture which pervades fandom goes way deeper than you think and comes out of a way darker well than you probably realize. An astonishing amount of this is, quite literally, TERF shit and evangelical shit.
Trying to be in fandom and take a stance of, "Anti/Pro shit? Ew, I'm Not Touching that," is like swimming in a heavily polluted river and being like, "Poison? Cringe. Not me lol."
You might be lucky enough to be in a less-polluted part of the river (AKA a relatively non-toxic fandom, in which case good for you!)...but tbh this rhetoric and peer-signalling will still seep in.
I can't stress enough that pro-fiction, AKA "proship", is the normal, leftist-about-art-and-sex opinion. Pro-ship is against all the horrible things you're against; in fact, pro-ship isn't trivializing real trauma by equating it with fictional trauma, or trying to apply literal evangelical/radfem solutions--which are proven not to prevent or help. Profiction/proship is literally just saying, "Fiction is fiction, reality is reality, and the two don't have a 1:1 relationship. And historically, trying to censor just things we've decided are bad has done nothing but get LGBTQ+ and POCs censored. Therefore, depictions of illegal things shouldn't be censored." That's it. "Proshippers all ship problematic ships," is a brazen lie. Many of them share other fans' disgust for those ships, they just don't believe in censoring fic authors over it.
It is also taking a stand against harassment because--and I hope my own story has helped drive this home--as with all groups who adopt ingroup/outgroup thinking, antis are defined by their tactics, not actual stances on real, serious issues. What happened to me was absolutely a result of anti, "it's okay to 'bully out' anything I just don't like" mindset pervading fandom. In a way, this was the mindset's final form. They didn't even feel the need to cite a reason the trope was "bad" or "wrong"; it annoyed them, and they viewed their own feelings as a valid enough pathway for policing to go right ahead and do so.
In the interest of offering solutions instead of just bitching about problems, I might make a "how to know if you've bought into these types of views"-type post sometime. Also might come back to this and provide some sources/citation.

I respect Brennan in being the villain in every campaign
The INSTANT discomfort in Ally/Kristin’s face when that orator pastoral voice came on, the sinking feeling of knowing they sacrificed to stay in school— but now you’re in front of your worst fear alone WITHOUT your friends
I wanted to jump through the screen and wrestle that evangelizing piece of shit and protect all the kids he’s around
Brennan is setting up this dude to be taken DOWN

So long, Lawless and Tearful Liddle Orange Snowflake, Stinky Dinky-Winky Diapered Dummy donald j. trump. Perhaps all of the Pro-Russia Israeli Rabbis Will Anoint him as "G-d's New King David and Davidic Messiah" Now That the Proud Lifelong Nazi donald j. trump Has Betrayed All Jews on Earth? Part 1/3.
Acts 2:14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. Acts 2:15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! Acts 2:16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: Acts 2:17 “’In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Acts 2:18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. Acts 2:19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. Acts 2:20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
Blood Moon: November 7-8, 2022. Monday, 7 November 2022 = 13th of Cheshvan, 5783 Parashat Vayera י״ג בְּחֶשְׁוָן תשפ״ג Parashat Vayera is the 4th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. Torah Portion: Genesis 18:1-22:24 Vayera (“He Appeared”) opens as guests inform Abraham that Sarah will give birth. Despite Abraham’s attempts to convince God otherwise, God destroys the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Sarah gives birth to Isaac, and Abraham sends away Hagar and Ishmael. At God’s command, Abraham prepares to sacrifice Isaac, but an angel of God tells Abraham to offer a ram instead. (HebCal.com)

Revelation 12:13 When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. Revelation 12:14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach. Revelation 12:15 Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. Revelation 12:16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. Revelation 12:17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.
Revelation 13:1 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. Revelation 13:2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. Revelation 13:3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.

After calling the devastation and inhuman cruelty of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel "Incredible" and reading "The Snake" immediately after the terrorist attacks, lifelong Nazi donald j. trump further chided Israel just days after attack with: ‘Netanyahu let us down’ His meandering remarks were the most extensive since the deadly weekend attacks. By Kimberly Leonard 10/11/2023 11:35 PM EDT PALM BEACH, Fla. — He criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called Hezbollah “very smart.” Both less than a week after the attack on Israel. It was, as billed, a speech about the atrocities abroad. In the most Trumpian way possible. Speaking to more than 3,500 supporters at a Palm Beach, Fla., convention center, former President Donald Trump spent nearly two hours recounting how he helped move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and boasted about signing the Abraham Accords, which formalized diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. But he also meandered among various topics, zig-zagging from the weekend terrorist attack in Israel that has captured the world’s attention to criticisms of his GOP rivals, crime in Washington, D.C., boasts about rising in the polls despite multiple indictments and even mentioned the assault on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul. Throughout his speech, Trump, who leads his GOP presidential rivals, painted a picture of an alternate universe he thought would have existed had he been reelected in 2020 instead of President Joe Biden. “Israel would be flourishing, they would have no problem,” he said. “Iran would have never played that game.” Instead, he said, the world became full of “chaos, bloodshed, war, terror, death,” and he warned World War III was on the horizon. He called Biden “grossly incompetent,” and described members of the Biden administration as “stupid people.” He also directly went after Netanyahu, who he asserted did not help the United States in the drone strike in 2020 that killed Suleimani, the leader of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps responsible for secret military operations. At the time of the killing, Netanyahu praised Trump for acting “swiftly, forcefully and decisively” but Trump on Wednesday chastised the Israeli prime minister. “I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down,” he said. “That was a very terrible thing.” His disapproval of Netanyahu drew an immediate response from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is competing with Trump for the GOP nomination and posted on X that “it is absurd that anyone, much less someone running for President, would choose now to attack our friend and ally, Israel.” The remarks, delivered to the Club 47 Trump fan club, were the first extensive comments Trump made on Israel after saying little about the topic during a campaign stop in New Hampshire Monday. Since the attack on Israel on Saturday that has since broken out into war that threatens to destabilize the Middle East, more than 1,200 Israelis and over 1,100 militants and Palestinians have been killed. The State Department said 22 Americans were among those killed and 17 more haven’t been accounted for. United States President Joe Biden has said the U.S. stands with Israel, and the White House plans to ask Congress to approve aid, though the exact request is still coming together and, at the direction of impeached and shamefully and repeatedly indicted former president donald trump, the Republican Party has intentionally sabotaged the U.S. Congress to make it impossible to aid U.S. ally Israel in their time of need. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/11/netanyahu-trump-chides-israel-hamas-war-00121142

Daughters of late podiatrist say he diagnosed Donald Trump with bone spurs during Vietnam War as a 'favor' Erin Donnelly December 26, 2018 The New York Times reported that the two daughters of a late Queens podiatrist are going public with a claim that their father diagnosed liddle sissy milquetoast donald j. trump with bone spurs in 1968 as a favor to his landlord, trump patriarch and Ku Klux Klan supporter, fred c. trump (who defrauded the U.S. government out of federal aid money to build liddle dumpster diaper donnie j. trump's future inheritance). The diagnosis allowed stinky dinky-winky donald trump to get a medical exemption that allowed him to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War; because he was raised to be as fat, lazy, pathetic, and weak as his brothel-owning grandfather. https://www.yahoo.com/now/daughters-late-podiatrist-claim-diagnosed-donald-trump-bone-spurs-vietnam-war-favor-134618527.html
Delicate draft-dodger donald trump made up injury to dodge Vietnam service, his former lawyer testifies By Leo Shane III February 27, 2019 WASHINGTON — donald trump acknowledged to advisors that he made up a fake injury to avoid military service, because “I wasn’t going to Vietnam,” his former lawyer told lawmakers during testimony on Wednesday. Michael Cohen, who also worked as a fixer for trump before his election, said he was tasked with tamping down criticism of the military deferment as the presidential candidate simultaneously mocked Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, for being regarded as a military hero. “I like people who weren’t captured," trump said during a July 2015 interview. “Mr. trump claimed (his medical deferment) was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery,” Cohen told members of the House Oversight Committee. “He told me not to answer the specific questions by reporters but rather offer simply the fact that he received a medical deferment. “He finished the conversation with the following comment: ‘You think I'm stupid, I wasn't going to Vietnam.’” https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/02/27/trumps-lawyer-no-basis-for-presidents-medical-deferment-from-vietnam/

Televangelist Pat Robertson no longer thinks liddle tearful stinky orange snowflake donald trump can win re-election: 'It's time to move on' Joshua Bote USA TODAY Published 10:38 am ET December 22, 2020 Updated 12:24 pm ET December 22, 2020 Televangelist Pat Robertson now thinks any effort to re-elect donald trump is futile. On a Monday broadcast of his long-running Christian series “The 700 Club,” Robertson told viewers that donald trump "still lives in an alternate reality" — and offered his strongest broadside yet to a man who he's ardently supported for years. "I think it's all over. I think the Electoral College has spoken," Robertson said. Despite not possessing sufficient evidence of so-called election fraud and warnings from key Republicans such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, trump and his allies have doubled down on efforts to de-legitimize incoming-President Joe Biden's 2020 election win, which was affirmed by an Electoral College vote earlier this month. On Monday, trump met with Republican allies in Congress to discuss the possibility of challenging battleground states' votes on Jan. 6, when members of Congress are required to count electoral votes. Robertson, the right-wing founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, has only recently criticized the president, calling him out for his response to unrest over the death of George Floyd earlier this year. The remainder of the segment was an assessment of trump's four years in office. Despite donald trump's ability "to raise money and draw large crowds," his feelings about donald trump are decidedly mixed. “The President still lives in an alternate reality," he said. Robertson went on to list some of Trump's common falsehoods, specifically about his inauguration and the success of “The Apprentice.” “He’s very erratic — he’s fired people, he’s fought people, he’s insulted people. It’s a mixed bag. It would be well to say ‘you’ve had your day, and it’s time to move on.’" Source: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/12/22/700-clubs-pat-robertson-donald-trump-its-time-move-on/4005915001/

Yet Esther won the admiration of all who saw her.
TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English): Pages 1795 and 1796: Esther 7:1 So the king and Haman came to feast with Queen Esther. Esther 7:2 On the second day, the king again asked Esther at the wine feast, "What is your wish, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to half the kingdom, it shall be fulfilled." Esther 7:3 Queen Esther replied: "If Your Majesty, let my life be granted me as my wish, and my people as my request. Esther 7:4 For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, massacred, and exterminated. Had we only been sold as bondmen and bondwomen, I would have kept silent; for the adversary is not worthy of the king's trouble." Esther 7:5 Thereupon King Ahasuerus demanded of Queen Esther, "Who is he and where is he who dared to do this?" Esther 7:6 "The adversary and enemy," replied Esther, "is this evil Haman!" And Haman cringed in terror before the king and the queen. Esther 7:7 The king, in his fury, left the wine feast for the palace garden, while Haman remained to plead with Queen Esther for his life; for he saw that the king had resolved to destroy him.

“Take me in oh RINOs Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in oh RINOs,” cried the tearful messy orange snowflake
They wrapped him up all cozy in a diaper made of silk And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk Now they hurried home from work that night as soon as they arrived They found that tearful orange snowflake they'd taken in had been revived
“Take me in, oh RINOs Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in oh RINOs,” cried the tearful simpleton orange snowflake
Now they clutched him to their bosom, “You're so beautiful,” they cried “But if we hadn't brought you in by now you might have died” Now they stroked his sweaty orange skin and then they kissed and held him tight But instead of saying thanks, that tearful snowflake gave a poop surprise
“Take me in, oh tender RINOs Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in oh tender RINOs,” cried the tearful stinky orange snowflake
“I saved you,” cried the RINOs “And you've shit me even, why? You know your poop is poisonous and now we're going to die” “Oh shut up, silly RINOs,” said the snowflake with a grin “You knew damn well I was a liddle snowflake when you took me in

Dirty Diapered Dunce donald j. trump Pays Court-Ordered $2 Million For Illegally Using Chump trump Foundation Funds December 10, 2019 Liddle Tearful Tantrums donnie j. trump Ordered to Pay Eight Separate Charities $250,000 Each Remaining $1.8 Million in Trump Foundation Bank Account Disbursed Among Charities NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after stinky dinky-winky donald J. trump was forced to pay more than $2 million in court-ordered damages to eight different charities for illegally misusing charitable funds at the trump Foundation for political purposes: “Not only has the trump Foundation shut down for its misconduct, but the liddle donnie has been forced to pay $2 million for misusing charitable funds for his own political gain. Charities are not a means to an end, which is why these damages speak to the president’s abuse of power and represent a victory for not-for-profits that follow the law. Funds have finally gone where they deserve — to eight credible charities. My office will continue to fight for accountability because no one is above the law — not a businessman, not a candidate for office, and not even the president of the United States.” As part of a resolution of the lawsuit announced on November 7th, liddle tearful tantrums donnie trump was ordered to pay $2 million, or $250,000, a piece to eight different charities. Those charities are Army Emergency Relief, the Children’s Aid Society, Citymeals-on-Wheels, Give an Hour, Martha’s Table, the United Negro College Fund, the United Way of National Capital Area, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Additionally, chumpy trump was forced to reimburse his namesake foundation $11,525 for sports paraphernalia and champagne purchased at a charity gala, which was added to $1,797,598.30 already in the foundation’s bank account. The combined $1,809,123.30 was split evenly and recently transferred to the eight agreed upon charities. Each charity ended up receiving a total of $476,140.41. Additionally, as part of the settlement, Trump was required to agree to 19 admissions, acknowledging his personal misuse of funds at the tattered trump Foundation, and agreed to restrictions on future charitable service and ongoing reporting to the Office of the Attorney General, in the event he creates a new charity. The settlement also included mandatory training requirements for donald trump Jr., ivanka Trump, and eric Trump, which the three children have already undergone. Finally, the settlement required the Trump Foundation to shutter its doors last December and dissolve under court supervision.

Trump Claimed ‘Magical Authorities’ Allowed Him to Do Illegal Things, Says Former Deputy Blasting Trump for "actively doing damage to our security," a former high-ranking Homeland Security official announces he is endorsing Joe Biden Tom Dickinson Rolling Stone August 18, 2020 Perhaps most alarming, Taylor says that Trump was undeterred by warnings that his chosen policy objectives were illegal: “He didn’t want us to tell them it was illegal anymore,” Taylor recalls, “because he knew that there were — and these were his words — he knew that he had ‘magical authorities.'” In the two-minute video, Taylor describes Trump not only as lawless, but as cruel and vindictive — alleging that the president sought to withhold FEMA aid to victims of wildfire in California because he was incensed that the state had voted against him, and that Trump wanted to restart the family-separation policy “to show those parents that they shouldn’t come to the border in the first place.” People who are still serving in this administration have said to me, 'Just wait until the second term. It’ll be no holds barred. It’ll be shock-and-awe. We’ll do what we want.' Given what I’ve experienced in the administration, I have to support Joe Biden for president. And even though I’m not a Democrat, even though I disagree on key issues, I’m confident that Joe Biden will protect the country. And I’m confident he won’t make the same mistakes as this president." https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-magical-authorities-miles-taylor-joe-biden-endorsement-1046114/

Aleister Crowley and Anton LaVey farm animal face doesn't make America great. Aleister Crowley believed that True Will and true magical power meant being a "demon infested" person with a self-proclaimed right and entitlement to: live by one's own law; live in the way that one wills to do; work, play, and rest as one will; die when and how one will; eat and drink what one will; live where one will; move about the earth as one will; think, speak, write, draw, paint, carve, etch, mould, build, and dress as one will; love when, where and with whom one will; and kill those who would thwart these rights irrespective of any laws and/or what anyone thinks or feels about the "demon infested" individual engaging in these indulgent, chaotic, indulgent, uncivilized, and criminal behaviors and actions. Crowley believed that the only real definition of a "Crime" is described as being a violation of one's True Will and that the "demon infested" individual has a divine right and responsibility to the world, humanity, and the Universe to kill those who would thwart a "demon infested" individual's True Will rights. (Wikipedia)
Anton LaVey believed in the imminent demise of Christianity. In addition, he believed that society would enter an Age of Satan, in which a generation living in accordance with LaVeyan principles would come to power. LaVeyan Satanism places great emphasis on the role of liberty and personal freedom. LaVey believed that the ideal Satanist should be individualistic and non-conformist, rejecting what he called the "colorless existence" that mainstream society sought to impose on those living within it. He praised the human ego for encouraging an individual's pride, self-respect, and self-realization and accordingly believed in satisfying the ego's desires. He expressed the view that self-indulgence was a desirable trait, and that hate and aggression were not wrong or undesirable emotions but that they were necessary and advantageous for survival. Accordingly, he praised the Seven Deadly Sins as virtues which were beneficial for the individual. The anthropologist Jean La Fontaine highlighted an article that appeared in a LaVeyan magazine, The Black Flame, in which one writer described "a true Satanic society" as one in which the population consists of "free-spirited, well-armed, fully-conscious, self-disciplined individuals, who will neither need nor tolerate any external entity 'protecting' them or telling them what they can and cannot do." See: the lawless cult and criminal organization of donald trump's MAGA/Christian Identity movement. Anton LaVey supported eugenics and expected it to become a necessity in the future, when it would be used to breed an elite who reflected LaVey's "Satanic" principles. In his view, this elite would be "superior people" who displayed the "Satanic" qualities of creativity and nonconformity. He regarded these traits as capable of hereditary transmission, and made the claim that "Satanists are born, not made". He believed that the elite should be siphoned off from the rest of the human "herd", with the latter being forced into ghettoes, ideally "space ghettoes" located on other planets. (Wikipedia)
Scientific racism misapplies, misconstrues, or distorts anthropology (notably physical anthropology), anthropometry, craniometry, evolutionary biology, and other disciplines or pseudo-disciplines, in proposing anthropological typologies supporting the classification of human populations into physically discrete human races, some of which might be asserted to be superior or inferior to others. Scientific racism was common during the period from the 1600s to the end of World War II, and was particularly prominent in European and American academic writings from the mid 19th century through the early 20th century. Since the second half of the 20th century, scientific racism has been criticized as obsolete and discredited, yet has persistently been used to support or validate racist world-views, based upon belief in the existence and significance of racial categories and a hierarchy of superior and inferior races. The Nazi Party and its sympathizers published many books on scientific racism, seizing on the eugenicist and antisemitic ideas with which they were widely associated, although these ideas had been in circulation since the 19th century. Books such as Rassenkunde des deutschen Volkes ("Racial Science of the German People") by Hans Günther (first published in 1922)and Rasse und Seele ("Race and Soul") by Ludwig Ferdinand Clauß [de] (published under different titles between 1926 and 1934) attempted to scientifically identify differences between the German, Nordic, or Aryan people and other, supposedly inferior, groups. German schools used these books as texts during the Nazi era. In the early 1930s, the Nazis used racialized scientific rhetoric based on social Darwinism[citation needed] to push its restrictive and discriminatory social policies. During World War II, Nazi racialist beliefs became anathema in the United States, and Boasians such as Ruth Benedict consolidated their institutional power. After the war, discovery of the Holocaust and Nazi abuses of scientific research (such as Josef Mengele's ethical violations and other war crimes revealed at the Nuremberg Trials) led most of the scientific community to repudiate scientific support for racism. Although the child was "the most important treasure of the people", this did not apply to all children, even German ones, only to those with no hereditary weaknesses. Nazi Germany's racially based social policies placed the improvement of the Aryan race through eugenics at the center of Nazis ideology. Those humans were targeted who were identified as "life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben), including but not limited to Jewish people, criminals, degenerate, dissident, feeble-minded, homosexual, idle, insane, and the weak, for elimination from the chain of heredity. Although they were still regarded as "Aryan", Nazi ideology deemed Slavs (i.e., Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, etc.) to be racially inferior to the Germanic master race, suitable for expulsion, enslavement, or even extermination.  Adolf Hitler banned intelligence quotient (IQ) testing for being "Jewish". Beginning with the invasion of Poland during World War II, the Nazi regime set up ghettos across German-occupied Eastern Europe in order to segregate and confine Jews, and sometimes Romani people, into small sections of towns and cities furthering their exploitation.

hello! bc of your great influence, i have decided to try to read some of dostoyevsky’s works. is there any particular translation you like/recommend?
Tumblr media
yes.......... YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my dostoevsky evangelism continues its successful campaign... one of my girlies at work asked to borrow notes from underground after hearing my high regard for it. slowly, i shall infect my workplace with classic russian literature.
regarding translations, the two i'm most familiar with are constance garnett and the duo richard pevear/larissa volokhonsky. i've mostly read translations from the latter, since i appreciate footnotes for older books (especially those from different countries).
here's the Iconic opening of notes from underground, translated by constance garnett:
I am a sick man…. I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me. I don’t consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors. Besides, I am extremely superstitious, sufficiently so to respect medicine, anyway (I am well-educated enough not to be superstitious, but I am superstitious). No, I refuse to consult a doctor from spite. That you probably will not understand. Well, I understand it, though. Of course, I can’t explain who it is precisely that I am mortifying in this case by my spite: I am perfectly well aware that I cannot “pay out” the doctors by not consulting them; I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don’t consult a doctor it is from spite. My liver is bad, well—let it get worse!
the same excerpt translated by richard and larissa:
Tumblr media
personally, i like the flow of constance's translations a bit more. i enjoyed reading through both translations an equal amount though. i don't think you can go wrong with either of them.
