When you call your senators to oppose KOSA, you can tell them to support the Invest in Children Act instead. It'll actually protect children online instead of just grandstanding and censoring!

Is saving healthcare money a good idea?
Is saving healthcare money a good idea? Before you jump to an answer, I’ll give you the answer: It depends on whose money is being saved.
Think about it as you read the following article:

Please hear me out before you think I’m nuts, ok?
Governments are spying on citizens/mobile phone users/YOU through phone push notifications
So, I started here: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRvwjTXc/
Yes, this guy sounds crazy but he always told the truth because I can always research what he’s talking about, every time so far.
So, I went to verify what he said:
The letter from Senator Ron Wyden
This is the letter the TikTok guy is referring to from the Senator.

Funny story about the shithole that is Oregon. There was this fat disgusting fucking pig who worked for Taylor Morrison and polygon homes. The kind of fucking pig who makes you want to bleach your entire family. I'd see him everywhere parked at the pool working so hard (no pun intended) behind my backyard. On highway 26 on a Saturday morning for my kids soccer games. For five years. I don't know how many fuckimg times I went to my local sheriff. Fucking assholes.
One of my most pungent memories was after hearing about the Vegas shootings, the neighborhood seemed somber, except this pig who reeked of incel entitlement. I'm sure it's just my paranoia. 💋🖕
If you see incompetence say it's fucking incompetence, racism and misogyny. I also had a meeting with an FBI agent who had the fucking audacity to comment on my looks. Fascinating when you're old and attractive. It's so pertinent to my civil rights.
To left wing idiots.i do not support defunding the police. Having interacted with hundreds now at this point between the rcmp, Oregon, DHS, cbp
I've met a plethora of idiots. I've also met kind, compassionate, sensitive human beings doing shitty work. Truth can be completely subjective.
That pension must feel good when your union rep doesn't understand unfunded liabilities.

A two-year investigation by U.S. authorities has shown that employees at Credit Suisse have been knowingly aiding their clients in evading paying taxes on earned income and capitol gains. While Credit Suisse is…

Well that's an interesting question. If a radically partisan judge keeps slapping nation-wide injunctions on policies that have no legal justification and keep getting overturned, often months or even a year later, by the Supreme Court, should the President accept their judgements at all?
I've been writing for a while now about how the Judicial Branch is the weakest branch of our government because it relies on the other branches to enforce its judgements. Looks like I'm not the only one thinking about that these days.

The perfect example that proves all the Republican bitching about activist judges is just bitching about judges that issue rulings they don’t like. They don’t give a fuck about the law, just power and the ability to dictate how people live.

Look, I object to Golf on a lot of grounds: Environmental, Water Wastage, Class Issues, etc..
At the same time, I oppose sports washing and global monopolies.
I can do both.

Monday Thoughts
Some wisdom from Charles Schulz to start off a commentary. If you make it through that, there are jokes to lighten the tone. Enjoy...
Today on the blog, some thoughtful writing I found online from some folks on Twitter. Sometimes there are things that really catch my attention, and these two images did. This first one by Charles Schulz is priceless and has a message that is so relevant today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This next piece is a report from Democratic Underground posted in a Tweet I saw on Sunday. The information helps…
