The FOX NEWS Marketing Plan is Hate Speech for High Viewer Ratings. CNN & MSNBC Target Different Demographics BUT... I'm Tired of Being a Target! I Read Google News Instead.

Remember... The GOP is Fundamentally EVIL... They Always Do What Their Corporate Sponsors Want instead of Doing What is Right... I Wonder Why People Do Evil for Money... For Example: Jim Fitterling... The CEO of DOW Chemical. Most Famous For NAPALM and AGENT ORANGE...

#MAGAKillersSUCK - Outlaw Assault Rifles NOW!

Thirty-five Senate Democrats have introduced legislation to ban “assault weapons” including popular AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles, citing concern about “domestic terrorism” following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Lead sponsor Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) enlisted a majority of her Democratic colleagues as co-sponsors of the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2021.” https://nypost.com/2021/03/12/35-senate-dems-introduce-ar-15-gun-ban-cite-domestic-terrorism/

The Majority of Americans Support a Ban on Assault Weapons. https://news.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/268340/analyzing-surveys-banning-assault-weapons.aspx

Republicans Voted Against The $1,400 Dollar Coronavirus Relief Checks... Because... They are Puppets of The Super Rich... #ClassWar #France1789 Simply Tax the Super Rich and That Will Pay For The $1,400 Dollar Checks... GEE, That Was Easy!

The USA Would be Better Off If The Republicans Stopped Behaving Insane... But They ARE Old and Will Be Dead Soon... and we will be Grateful!

3/6 is the The One Year Anniversary of the Largest Loss of Money on the Stock Market in the History of the Universe. March 6th 2020...

MD SAID: the 1929 stock market crash lost 89% of its value the mark lost about 30% in March of last year which quickly recovered when the Fed decided to interfere. There were plenty of instances where the market dropped further than that...

I Replied: NO... The Week of 3/6/2020 Was the Largest POINT DROP in History... Yes 1929 was the Worst Percentage Loss... But We Are Comparing the Pain of a BROKEN LEG With The Pain of a HEART ATTACK... a Better Plan is to Not Do Either. Remember: In General, Republicans are Bad for the Stock Market. Why?

Herbert Hoover... 1929 Stock Market Crash... He's A President I Know Nothing About... Except That He Was a REPUBLICRIMINAL... Oh My, A TREND? So MANY Idiots Causing Disaster... https://hoover.archives.gov/exhibits/great-depression

I've Driven Highway #36 in Humboldt County often because I Have Friends in Chico. Drove over it the Very First Time at NIGHT... The Stars are Very Clear when I Pulled off the Side of the Road for a Break... The ONE LANE Section was Difficult to drive because there was no center lane painted on the road to follow...

SC Said: I bet the stars shined in the dark of night✨ It would make driving difficult without lane markers. At night I rely on being guided by that center divide line.

I Said: at night out there... the Stars are Many Many Many More in Quantity due to Total Darkness... another Place to View Stars is Pollock Pines on the road to South Shore Lake Tahoe... I Have Family There and We Would Lie Down Right in the Center of the Road... Perfectly Safe Because You Could Sense a Car Coming a Mile Away. and Lake Tahoe Itself is Excellent if You Get Away from the South Shore Casinos...

SC Said: star gazing is phenomenal in the Tahoe areas. There's nothing like day & night snowskiing, and star and moon gazing by night in Donner. Pollack Pines I haven't seen at night, we were always trying to make that last stretch into South Lake Tahoe before nightfall. The Lake Tahoe areas are magical✨

There has been a LOT of Groundbreaking Engineering into building Desalinization Plants that use Solar Power to Pump the Seawater out of the Ocean and use MEMBRANE PURIFICATION to actually remove the salt... That's the same Reverse Osmosis Technology that is used at the Drinking Water Machines you see in front of Liquor Stores...

CBS cancels Stephen Colbert’s show days after Trump settlement criticism...

The late-night host had scoffed at a decision by CBS’s parent company to pay the U.S. president $16 million over a disputed interview.

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/18/cbs-cancels-stephen-colbert-00462089

Corporate Censorship... The Colbert show was the highest rated show... But he exposed Donald Trump as a Madman! Tell the truth and your show gets canceled!

Trump's Priorities Are Insane! I Don't Care if Farm Laborers are Illegal Aliens or Not. Motel Maids? Construction Workers? I Care About High Prices for Gasoline, Food, Shelter and Daycare...

"CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President's authority," the corporation wrote in a statement issued Friday morning. "Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly independent of the federal government."

The CPB noted that the statute Congress passed to create it "expressly forbade 'any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over educational television or radio broadcasting, or over [CPB] or any of its grantees or contractors."

Congress said that such funds "may be used at the discretion of the recipient" for producing or acquiring programs to put on the air.

I finally watched the video of Mad DOGE playing with the chainsaw and it appears that it was not running... There was no engine sound and no smoke coming out...

Will Fox News STOP Lying? What Else Could They Possibly Do? Their Entire Business Model is Based on LIES... If they start telling the Truth... They Face Competition From...

CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, BBC, C-SPAN, VOA, NPR, Democracy Now and Hundreds of Actual News Websites!

With the "All Lies all the Time" Theme the Only Competition Fox Has is OANN, TASS, RN, Pravda and Truth Social...

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR https://thehumanist.com/

Sunday is the National Day of Reason. Too bad we live in an Age of Nonsense.

Trump is pushing forward with a Commission on Anti-Christian Bias despite most Americans, including many Christians, believing that it’s a waste of time and Christians aren’t oppressed.

The federal government is shutting down research, and national parks, and the office that answers the phone when people have questions about their student loans.

The Supreme Court is seriously considering allowing your tax dollars to be used to teach other people’s kids a religion you don’t believe in.

The White House is even implying it wants to use the US military to prevent crime.

But we’re not taking it lying down. We’re fighting back with legislation. We’re funding local humanist groups from Colorado to Mississippi providing mutual aid for their community.

And we’re also calling the lack of reason out for what it is - because as Jefferson said, “ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions.”

We helped Reps. Jared Huffman and Jamie Raskin introduce a proclamation recognizing the National Day of Reason in the face of unmitigated absurdity - and we hope you’ll call on your Member of Congress to sign on here.

Proclamations and events, like the Reason Reception we co-hosted on Capitol Hill earlier this week, seem like small things. But when more and more members of Congress are willing to publicly affiliate themselves with secularism and open advocacy for church-state separation - that’s how we build power. The bigger, louder, and better organized we are, the harder it is for the religious right to steamroll us.

That’s why we’re excited that Rep. Judy Chu has joined the Congressional Freethought Caucus this week - meaning the caucus we helped found is growing faster than ever in its history.

And it’s a good time for our movement to be growing - because we have a big fight ahead.

The Supreme Court’s decision in its St. Isidore case could be monumental - a generational blow to church-state separation and the right of all students to receive a free and equal public education regardless of their religion.

It could open the door for religious law and instruction to infect every area of government.

We don’t want our tax dollars to be used for religious schools that openly admit they may not accept people like us as teachers.

In general, we don’t want to create a world where education and other public services are run by private interests that aren’t accountable to voters, where different kinds of people get different kinds of service. Ninety-two years ago, we declared “humanists demand a shared life in a shared world” - and we meant it.

Public services should work for all of us. They shouldn’t be privatized. They shouldn’t be subdivided with special carve-outs for people of particular faiths. They should be equally open and accessible to all people.

That’s why humanism matters. It’s not just about demanding the separation of church and state. It’s about demanding a world where everyone matters and counts - without exception. Where everyone’s dignity and humanity is taken care of - no matter who you are or what you believe. And it’s about reason - acting in line with common sense, not nonsense.

In an age of absurdity, reason’s an act of rebellion. But what else is new? Humanists have always been rebels. This moment doesn’t require us to be different people - just a little louder, a little braver.

We can all be a beacon of reason in an age of nonsense.

For humanity,

Fish Stark
Executive Director
