Are the Corrupt Supreme Court Justices In Danger? It's a Lifetime Appointment but... How Long is a Lifetime? Just Asking the Obvious Question... "The Future's Uncertain and the End is Always Near..." - Jim Morrison

Someone in Law Enforcement needs to put a LOT of Effort into Protecting these People...
Evil SCOTUS meme

I Remember JFK, MLK, RFK, Gandhi and John Lennon and DO NOT believe that Assassination is the Best Path Forward for the USA... 

We need to EDUCATE these Corrupt Justices and Have them UNDERSTAND the EVIL DEEDS That They Do... and Start Working in Favor of the American People... 

Right NOW they are BRAINWASHED TrumpNiks® but I Believe That They Can WAKE THE F*CK UP!

While their Rulings Have Angered The Vast Majority of Americans, the REAL EVIL was done by tRUMP... He Appointed Three of these Slimeballs... and Is SO PROUD that they Overturned Roe v Wade... "I DID THAT!" says tRUMP... 

SO... Everyone Must Work to Beat tRUMP Again!
Donate Money to Democratic Candidates... and If You Can't do That... Share MEMEs on Social Media... and Talk In Person to Your BRAINWASHED Friends and Family... Remind Them that tRUMP was a Disaster for America and If He Wins Again... it's very Likely that he will Cause GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE... and Billions of People Will Starve to Death...

It’s not like it was secret that Ginny and Clarence have been selling access to the Supreme Court for decades. Roberts’s wife has her own multimillion dollar game going. These aren’t secret organizations or something. These are multimillion dollar businesses that operate in the open. Nobody has had the guts to do news stories about them, but all of this corrupt BS is business as usual.

Headline: ‘Unprecedented, stunning, disgusting’: Clarence Thomas condemned over billionaire gifts...
Calls for the supreme court justice to resign grow as new details of 38 more undeclared gifts and vacations from rich donors emerge...
ProPublica published new details of his acceptance of undeclared gifts including 38 vacations and expensive sports tickets.

You Might be a Fascist meme

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible...


David Pecker - at Trump Adultery Trial


Phlinda Schumacher

OMG... The testimony of David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer and friend of Donald Trump reveals the irony and projection of Trump constantly attacking media outlets as "fake news"! They both had schemed, orchestrated and coordinated their own fake news media of false outrageous stories and propaganda about Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Obama, Joe Biden and other political opponents. Every accusation was a confession of their own sleazy conman behavior. What a conspiracy! Sadly, a portion of America actually believed it.
And remember, David Pecker was granted immunity from prosecution by the DOJ in 2018 for providing information to federal prosecutors about the hush money payments.

GA Rep MTG's #MoscowMarge

Here's GA Rep MTG's #MoscowMarge demented and twisted views on Ukrainian aid and American interests: “For nothing. Ukraine is not even a member a NATO but the most important thing you hear in Washington DC is that we have to send American’s hard earned tax dollars over to Ukraine and keep the money going to continue to murder the Ukrainians, wipe out an entire generation of Ukrainian men so that their widows, their fatherless orphans, not enough men to work in their industry. Oh, but you really support Ukraine. Wow, what kind of support is that? It’s repulsive. You know, shame on the American government.”

Meanwhile on Russian TV: “Speaker Johnson is not the one running Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene is running Congress. Everyone is afraid of her. She is proposing for the U.S. to withdraw from NATO. She believes Americans should help Putin win.”

Former GOP Rep Ken Buck on CNN: “Moscow Marjorie has reached a new low…she doesn’t read the level of useful idiot. She is just mouthing the Russian propaganda and really hurting the policy in the process. She’s acting completely irresponsibly and again when history looks at this period of time, Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine is fighting for its freedom and she should be with the freedom fighters in this war.”

the Monterey Bay Aquarium today!! This place is INCREDIBLE!!!


How awesome, I got to check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium today!! This place is INCREDIBLE!!! thank you so very much for the person who blessed me with a ticket for today. That really meant the world. God bless you, you matter!
They have different zones like “The Oceans Edge” which had the Monterey Bay habitats, the kelp forest, the touch pools, and the aviary area. “The Open Sea” zone had the seabirds, the jellies, and the open sea! Over in the open sea area, you can take the first floor down to the dark zone “Into The Deep” which, of course, has the sea life that lives in the dark ! Super incredible!
There was a lot of people, and I didn’t go to any specific feedings on purpose today. Walking by the kelp Forest, I was fortunate enough to see divers, feeding the fish and even targeting giant Seabass with a green paddle ! It was awesome and I did enjoy every bit of walking around and checking out what they had to offer! The exhibits are beautiful. From the exhibit to the kelp forest to deep sea tanks. They even have outside observation decks and the great tide pool!
This is the best aquarium that I’ve ever personally been to. If you ever make it out to Monterey, California make sure you check it out! I hope y’all enjoy the pictures from today. check out my actual stories on my page to check out short videos from today’s visit!
God bless you all, and never forget, everybody, that You Matter and We Do Recover!

RFK Jr 4 POTUS! He's Running for President as an Independent... With MRS GOOGLE as Vice President... Having Concluded that BOTH Political Parties are Hopeless... and He's asking some difficult questions that no one else dares ask.

RFK Jr 4 POTUS - or Trump's VP! He's Running for President as an Independent... Having Concluded that BOTH Political Parties are Hopeless... and He's asking some difficult questions that no one else dares ask.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced Tuesday that attorney and tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan will be his vice presidential running mate heading into the November general election.

RFK Jr POTUS 2024 He s Considering Running for President as an Independent...
and YES, You May Change the Text!


Who is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and why is he running for president? The lack of excitement many Americans feel about a presidential rematch has heightened interest in alternatives to the major-party candidates — none more so than RFK Jr.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/robert-kennedy-jr-running-president-108225247

RFK Jr tells Jimmy Dore that Tony Fauci has been in charge of developing bioweapons for the Pentagon since 2002, and in 2014, three viruses escaped from US labs, so he moved his bioweapons research to the Wuhan lab:

"They took the money that Cheney gave them [from the Patriot Act], $2.2 billion, and they funneled it through NIH, and it all went through Anthony Fauci. So beginning in 2002, Anthony Fauci got a 68% raise from the Pentagon for doing bioweapons development, and he got a raise of billions of dollars a year, and then he started doing all of this gain-of-function.

Former CDC Director Robert Redfield recently testified before a Congressional committee that NIAID Director Anthony Fauci had funded gain-of-function research into coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab that is suspected of being the source of COVID. Fauci of course famously testified under oath that he had NOT funded gain-of-function research, so SOMEONE is lying. Jimmy and guest Robert F. Kennedy jr. discuss Fauci’s sordid record of corruption, skirting the law and getting in bed with the Defense Department to research bioweaponry. Follow Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Twitter: / robertkennedyjr

Mirror: https://purple64ets.wordpress.com/2024/03/18/trump-was-a-disaster-as-president/

RFK Jr is Asking Troubling Questions. Are Weird Chemicals in our Water Causing Mass Insanity? Should We Legalize Marijuana and Psychedelics? Talking Heads on TV News MOCK These Questions as CrazyTalk® However... He Has a Valid Point! For Example: The National Institute of Health Says:

Endocrine Disruptors in Water and Their Effects on the Reproductive System...
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32178293/
Anthropogenic contaminants in water can impose risks to reproductive health. Most of these compounds are known to be endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). EDCs can impact the endocrine system and subsequently impair the development and fertility of non-human animals and humans. The source of chemical contamination in water is diverse, originating from byproducts formed during water disinfection processes, release from industry and livestock activity, or therapeutic drugs released into sewage.

Risk of endocrine disrupting compounds in drinking water...
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-018-0029-3
Access to safe water is a crucial factor in determining environmental sustainability, public health, and economic prosperity. Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are an environmental contaminant of growing concern, which undermine the safety of drinking water.

The Legalization of Marijuana and Psychedelics Nationwide is OBVIOUSLY a Good Idea. Tax Them and Use the Money to Build Drug Rehab Programs... PLUS: We could Save a Fortune Currently Wasted on Law Enforcement and Incarceration... We COULD Retrain Policemen to Do Something Useful with their LIVES!

A Little Known Benefit to Legalization is FDA Quality Control and Accurate Doseage... Currently, Criminals Selling "ACID" may be Selling a Random Assortment of Chemicals that Make People Feel Strange... For Example: Fentanyl mixed with Methamphetamine... Yes, THAT would take You on a "TRIP" but it could Kill You...

RFK Jr is Wrong. COVID-19 Is Not a BioWeapon Designed to Kill Republicans. Yes, That's What Happened but It Was Not Intentionally Engineered that Way... We Were Just Lucky...

Remember: ANTI-VAX LIES On The Internet Have Killed Off More Republicans Than Democrats. THANK YOU FOR DYING! We Certainly Don't Need People Like That in the Future...

More than 1.1 million Americans have died from COVID-19. It Seems that It Wasn't a "Democratic Hoax" After All... Trump Lied, People Died...

Studies have also found that more Republicans than Democrats have died from COVID-19. According to a study, excess death rates in Florida and Ohio were 76% higher among registered Republicans than Democrats from March 2020 to December 2021.
https://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2023-03-10/three-years-into-the-pandemic-who-is-dying-from-covid-19-now

Covid death rates are higher among Republicans than Democrats, mounting evidence shows. Lower vaccination rates among Republicans could explain the partisan gap, but some researchers say mask use and social distancing were bigger factors.

EXCLUSIVE: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Planning to Announce Independent Run... 


2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to announce he will run as an independent on October 9 in Pennsylvania, Mediaite has learned.
Kennedy’s campaign machine is now planning “attack ads” against the Democratic National Committee in order to “pave the way” for his announcement in Philadelphia about running as an independent, according to a text reviewed by Mediaite.
“Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” a Kennedy campaign insider told Mediaite.

Poll: RFK Jr. would pull more support from Trump than Biden... 

  • RFK Jr. has hinted at an independent run
  • In the poll, Kennedy garnered 19% of support 
  • A Super PAC supporting RFK Jr. commissioned the poll


Ken Kesey


"I believe that with the advent of acid, we discovered a new way to think, and it has to do with piecing together new thoughts in your mind. Why is it that people think it's so evil? What is it about it that scares people so deeply, even the guy that invented it, what is it? Because they're afraid that there's more to reality than they have confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in, and they don't want us to go in there either, because if we go in we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control." —Ken Kesey, "The Beyond Within: The Rise and Fall of LSD," 1987

SE SAID:
I've always found it frustrating that when you shop for vintage clothing, the sizes are always ridiculously tiny. I've often wondered why it seems like women in the 50's and 60's were so tiny compared to modern women. I realize there is a lot of obesity in today's world, but I'm not talking about obesity, I'm talking about average-sized women, like a size 6 or 8. And yes, I know that there is a thing nowadays called "vanity sizing," where they take what was formerly a size 10 and call it a 6 just to make women feel better about their size. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm a fairly average-sized woman, not super tiny, but not what most people consider overweight. I typically wear a size 6 or a medium in most things. But vintage clothes are almost always so small that they look like they would fit a child. I can tell from looking at old photos that the average woman in the 50's and 60's wasn't that tiny. My mother and my grandmothers were around my size, and when I look at other old photos, I see women of all shapes and sizes, just like nowadays. So why is it that all of the vintage clothing is so ridiculously tiny?? It's not because women in the 50's and 60's were so much smaller, it's because those are the articles of clothing that have survived until now. Those ridiculously small dresses from the 50's and 60's are in vintage clothing stores now because nobody fit into them in the 50's and 60's either, so they were never worn, and that's why they still look brand new in 2021. The ones which fit NORMAL-sized women eventually got worn out, so they didn't survive to end up in vintage stores in 2021. Only the ones which DIDN'T get worn out survived 60 years to end up in vintage stores in 2021. The fact that vintage dresses are so tiny does NOT mean women were super tiny back then. It means that very few women were tiny enough to fit those sizes, so that's why those are the sizes that still exist today.


Fox News meme


Satire Mockery meme


Aaron Standish 

Happy April Fools to my first comedy writing partner the artist and poet Steve Ferchaud-

The past two days are a confluence of holidays that happens only rarely. Yesterday it was all “Bless Our Lord and Savior Who Died On The Cross And Rose Three Days Later To Save Us From Our Sins” and today it’s “April Fools!”. Makes sense to me.
When was the last time you were at a good old fashioned orgy? If you’re like me and Ms. Merry it’s probably been a few years. Living in Manton doesn’t provide a lot of access to Bacchanalia despite being the wino capital of Tehama County. If we were going to party like it’s 1999 we’d have to drive all the way to Reno or some other swinger town like Yuba City. Then we’d have to stay up way past our bedtime–normally 8 or 9 depending on how many MASH re-runs we watch–and at least one of us would have to have sex with a bunch of strangers and then drive the other one home because he wore himself out watching. We’re too old for that.
We’re too old for a lot of stuff anymore. Looking in the mirror, day drinking, and loading our own ammo to name but a few. What happened? We used to be able to run a full time business for fake hippies (all hail Wild Oak, which did what every kid from Red Bluff wants to do when they reach their twenties–move to the coast), grow massive home gardens, keep a dozen animals in line, write and perform a couple new comedy shows every year and still have time to break plenty of God’s laws with impunity. Now we’re lucky if we get enough firewood up on the porch to keep the house warm for naptime.
But we’re trying. We haven’t sunk to bocce yet. The other day we took our two remaining dogs for a hike out Ponderosa Way. Swamper and Lucky. Two dogs that live up to their dumb names. It’s easy to picture the hound Swamper tipping over a canoe, jumping to shore for his own safety and barking madly at you as you sank. Lucky is a reactive junkyard shepherdmuttbull with more lives than a schizophrenic cat. Together they are almost one good dog about half the time.
Ponderosa Way was originally an 800 mile firebreak built during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Out of work citizens hired by the government to labor for the greater good. Say what? The remaining Manton sections are mostly used for horseback riding, mountain biking, dog losing, gun blasting, truck stucking, love making and the occasional body dumping. Some of us do it all.
The dog walk turned out to be a disaster. Swamper bellowed the whole time, causing small avalanches and waking up bears. Lucky chased some guy in a jeep for two canyons before giving up and waiting for us in a mud puddle. We’re going to try it again without them next week.
When we got home I started waxing philosophical (which is easier than waxing physical, or so I’m told) about how we could barely get through a dog walk when we used to work all day and play all night. I guess it’s like the late, great two fingered typer of local lore Robert Minch used to say “I knew it was time to stop going to orgies when they stopped inviting me.” Or something like that. I think he also said “Where’s my obit, bitches?” Fair question.
Speaking of things that aren’t the same anymore–The Board of Supervisors. The recent election brought new names to the board and new challenges to joke writers. For the second election in a row. Let’s be honest-sensible supervisors are good for the county, but suck for comedy. The clown show of only two years ago was much more entertaining than anything this younger and more thoughtful group will be able to pull off.
Who doesn’t miss Bob Williams calling all the women in the room cunts? Or taking bets on when Dennis Garton’s heart would explode from…well, almost anything. But usually from organized potheads who relished talking smart to him just to watch his face turn color. And while soon-to-be-former-supe John Leach did a fair impersonation of imitating a sleepy disinterested Burt Bundy after replacing him in 2022, there has never been serious discussion of whether or not Leach was actually dead during the meetings. (Bundy has since been buried, so we assume he was.) The only ‘new’ supervisor that has continued the grand tradition of being both a curmudgeon and a condescending know-it-all is Bill Moule, he of the glass house. But Moule will soon be replaced by Robert Burroughs and can go back to being a danger on the road.
None of the new kids seem to have prohibition or mean-spiritedness as a priority. Unlike Williams, Garton and certain snarky columnists. Water management is finally considered a serious issue. In-Home Support Service workers got a new contract and a rational approach to cannabis is underway. Where’s the fun in that? How are witty wags supposed to mock sensible, decent, hardworking (and underpaid) public servants? Well, let me take a shot-
Pati Nolen (seated, D3) is my friend and neighbor. If you’re anything like the rest of my Manton neighbors, that probably scares you. It scares me.
Matt Hansen (seated, D4) used to be a cop. If you’re anything like the rest of my Manton neighbors, that probably scares you. Still a hero for unseating and spanking Williams in 2022.
Greg Jones (incoming, D5) is a smart nut farmer who understands there are more solutions to failing wells than drilling deeper. He may get fragged by nuttier nut farmers.
Robert Burroghs (incoming, D1) is a decorated combat vet with enough medals to start a wind chime business, but wouldn’t answer media questions about…well, anything. Apparently a winning strategy.
Tom Walker (incoming, D2) is the young blood choice of the good old boys, replacing Candy Carlson and making Williams and Garton sneer in glee. He may be the only fun left to have.
The noobs don’t take their seats until January, but the voters have spoken. Out with the old, in with the less old. A clean slate in two years.
Or as Bobby the Minch used to say “What this orgy needs is some fresh faces with new ideas. And some lube.” I say, indeed.
(Aaron Standish did stand-up comedy for years, but got tired and sat down. He’s married to Liz Merry. Or at least he was before he posted this parody of her local column “The Merry Mantonian” which is published weekly in The Red Bluff Daily News

So this is the first thing that appears to me on Facebook…and before my coffee I might add. It is April Fools greetings from one of my best friends, Aaron Standish. We you used to write and perform comedy back in the day when we weren’t old enough to know better but young enough not to care. But as they say, with friends like these, who needs enemas? He taught me how to be a better writer… He also taught me to tie my shoes and look both ways before crossing. Actually, he didn’t help me with the last two, I just let him believe it, because it makes him happy when he is drunk reminiscing. Happy April Fools Day, old chum, and thanks for all the fun

I've always found it frustrating that when you shop for vintage clothing, the sizes are always ridiculously tiny. I've often wondered why it seems like women in the 50's and 60's were so tiny compared to modern women. I realize there is a lot of obesity in today's world, but I'm not talking about obesity, I'm talking about average-sized women, like a size 6 or 8. And yes, I know that there is a thing nowadays called "vanity sizing," where they take what was formerly a size 10 and call it a 6 just to make women feel better about their size. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm a fairly average-sized woman, not super tiny, but not what most people consider overweight. I typically wear a size 6 or a medium in most things. But vintage clothes are almost always so small that they look like they would fit a child. I can tell from looking at old photos that the average woman in the 50's and 60's wasn't that tiny. My mother and my grandmothers were around my size, and when I look at other old photos, I see women of all shapes and sizes, just like nowadays. So why is it that all of the vintage clothing is so ridiculously tiny?? It's not because women in the 50's and 60's were so much smaller, it's because those are the articles of clothing that have survived until now. Those ridiculously small dresses from the 50's and 60's are in vintage clothing stores now because nobody fit into them in the 50's and 60's either, so they were never worn, and that's why they still look brand new in 2021. The ones which fit NORMAL-sized women eventually got worn out, so they didn't survive to end up in vintage stores in 2021. Only the ones which DIDN'T get worn out survived 60 years to end up in vintage stores in 2021. The fact that vintage dresses are so tiny does NOT mean women were super tiny back then. It means that very few women were tiny enough to fit those sizes, so that's why those are the sizes that still exist today.
