ain't no party like a january 6th party for kisti noem (plus ''general hospital')

there is no accountability in the trump era.  criminals get away with everything.  because a criminals' in the white house. s.v. dale ('huffington post') reports:


Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appears to have had in her entourage during her visit to Portland, Oregon, this week a Jan. 6, 2021, insurrectionist who days earlier had, according to a court document, told a friend, “We need a war bro… This country will never stop being soft until another big event happens.”
David Medina, whose criminal charges against him were dropped thanks to a pardon from President Donald Trump, has posted a series of videos on social media showing off his access to Noem, including one in which he appears to be riding in a van designated for “STAFF.”
[...]
Medina in 2024 was charged by federal prosecutors in the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol that was stoked by Trump by weeks of lies that the 2020 election had been stolen from him, and finally by an incendiary speech on Jan. 6 in which he urged his thousands of assembled followers to march on the Capitol and told them they would lose their country if they did not “fight like hell.”

Video taken by a journalist at the Capitol that day shows Medina stating: “We were normal, good, law-abiding citizens and you guys [the government] did this to us. We want our country back.”

here's the u.s. attorney's press release on him from feb. 16, 2024:

Defendant Allegedly Smashed Wooden “Speaker of the House” Sign
            WASHINGTON — An Oregon man has been arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges related to his conduct during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. His actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.S. Congress convened to ascertain and count the electoral votes related to the 2020 presidential election.

            David Medina, 34, of Sherwood, Oregon, is charged in a criminal complaint filed in the District of Columbia with a felony offense of obstruction of an official proceeding.

            In addition to the felony, Medina is charged with several misdemeanor offenses, including destruction of government property, entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

            Medina was arrested today in Portland, Oregon, and made his initial appearance in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.  

            According to allegations in court documents, Medina was present on the Capitol grounds and part of a larger group that unlawfully entered the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. Medina was identified in open-source images and video footage standing in a hallway outside of the entryway to the office of the Speaker of the House and appears to be slamming a wooden sign affixed above the Speaker’s office, which read “Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.” in an attempt to break it.

            Medina is then seen standing next to rioters who are holding up pieces of the shattered wooden sign with partial lettering visible, spelling “of the House” on the top line, and “Nancy P” on the lower line. The lettering appears to correspond to the previously affixed sign above the Speaker’s office.

            Medina was also identified in open-source images and video footage inside the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, waving an ornate American Flag with golden fringe mounted on a wooden pole with a golden eagle on the top. Court documents say that the flag appears to be a ceremonial indoor flag that was likely taken from inside the U.S. Capitol. Medina then left the Rotunda carrying the flag with him.

            Court documents say that Medina also appears to make light of his participation in the riot. On Aug. 23, 2023, a social media user tagged Medina in a post on X (formerly Twitter), which included a picture of him waving the flag inside the Rotunda, stating, “lol this u, David?” To which Medina replied, “Yes it is. #FBIsFavoriteCitizen”

            The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section are prosecuting this case. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon provided valuable assistance.

            The FBI's Portland and Washington Field Offices are investigating this case. The U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department provided valuable assistance.

            In the 37 months since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,313 individuals have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, including more than 469 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement, a felony. The investigation remains ongoing.


you know who to blame for all of this?  merrick garland.  hideous idiot.  and barack was pulling a dumb one when he nominated merrick for the supreme court.  if he'd gone with a real leftist, people would have cared.  they would have forced the republicans in the senate to hold confirmation hearings.  but to put all that effort into a lukewarm namby pamby?


ok, 'general hospital.'  an e-mail from rob noted an article saying people hated ronnie - the character erika slezak is playing.  that article was based on one comment on social media.  you read the article and some people like slezak.

the article also didn't note that the ratings were up on erika's episodes. i'm not surprised.  she's a brilliant actress and provides a real spark.

the idiot attacking erika was actually an idiot all around. she's whining that michael should have gotten the quartermaine mansion.  

and he will at some point, idiot.  this is a soap opera.  conflict has to take place.

erika is doing a guest spot.  she's supposedly already finished filming all of her scenes.  so she's not going to be on that long.  but a soap opera requires obstacles.

and while it's one thing to get involved in the storylines, it's another thing in the bright light of day to go online and start whining because something bad happened to the character you love.  if nothing bad happens to them, they really aren't much of a character.  

what do you think that idiot says about dr. marlena evans?  deidra hall's character on 'days of our lives' has been tortured for decades on 'days.'  they even had a possession story at 1 point.  that's what they do to characters who are major characters.  

so in yesterday's episode, ronnie stopped the search of the quartermaine mansion - that she was left in monica's will - by pointing out that the address was wrong.  anna got a new warrant and came back.  edward quartermaine's gun was not on the premise.  was it ever there?  did jason, michael or tracy grab it between the attempted search and the actual search.

no 1 knows.  

every 1 (including jason) except for tracy was telling ronnie to move in, that it was her home now.  tracy started screaming about contesting the will and michael told her he was the 1 who was thought to be inheriting the mansion so he'd be the only 1 who had a right to contest it but what he wanted to do was to honor his mother's last wishes.  

carly was on and making it clear how important she still is to the show.  i'm serious.  carly, sonny, alexis, jason, etc are so needed.  anna's granddaughter emma can act - the actress playing her.  as can the actor playing gio.  that's why they work as a couple and why they work on the show period.  but i would honestly fire a number of people if i were producing the show.  they look alike and they can't act.  

let's close with c.i.'s 'The Snapshot:'


Thursday, October 19,2025.  Attorney General Pam da Bimbo Bondi disgraced herself Tuesday as she repeatedly lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee -- lied -- intentionally lied -- she prepared her 'zingers' ahead of time, wrote them down on paper and flipped through her papers throughout the hearing to find her prepared lies.  This wasn't just lying, this was premeditated.  She was under oath.  She broke the law and did so intentionally. 



 
 

We're going to pick up with The Bimbo Bondi and her outlandish appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.  First, apologies and clarifications.  Senator Adam Schiff is an attorney.  Covering the hearing yesterday, I noted her crazed behavior but didn't go into all of her claims because she seemed to be lying.  We're going to cover some of that now. I thought I noted when she was screeching at Senator Adam Schiff that he wasn't n attorney.  It might have gotten cut for space.  But she was screeching at him and distorting the law and claiming he didn't understand the law because he was not an attorney.  

I did not realize he was an attorney.  Nancy's been my Representative in the House forever and a day.  In the primary for Senate, I was for Katie Porter.  I was fine voting for Schiff in the general election and he has exceeded my expectations so applause and praise for him; however, I did not know his story.  I'm not the only one.  Pam da Bimbo Bondi didn't know that either.  Nicole Charky-Chami's RAW STORY article entitled "Stetson grad Pam Bondi scoffs at legal knowledge of senator — who went to Harvard Law" is where I learned of it.  

So if she had any integrity -- we know she doesn't -- she would apologize immediately.  But she doesn't care.  She just lies.  And she came prepared with her little book of lies that she could not speak without consulting.  She lied.  She lied repeatedly.  


Need another example, Alexander Willis (RAW STORY) reports on this exchange

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) put Attorney General Pam Bondi on notice Tuesday after she made the misleading claim that the senator “stormed” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a news conference in June, a stunning incident captured on video where Padilla was forced to the ground and handcuffed.

[. . .]

“You know, you want order in here now, yet you stormed the director of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem!” Bondi said. “You sure didn't have order that day, did you, Senator?”

“Attorney general, you are under oath!” Padilla fired back. “I did not storm the secretary.”


That's the thing about dirty little whores.  They lie and they mean to.


I should have known that Adam's an attorney since he's one of my two US senators.  But it's not like I accused him of not being one.  Bimbo came to the hearing with her attacks prepared ahead of time, which is why she was flipping furiously through that huge book/binder in front of her throughout.  She planned every attack ahead of time.  So she should have known her facts.


But she doesn't care about facts.  


She lied bout Adam and she lied about Alex.


She deliberately lied while refusing to answer questions.  Grasp that. She wasn't going to talk about Homan, she wasn't going to talk about this or that.  But she made time to talk about when federal goons attacked Alex?  And she lied about what happened.

She's an Attorney General who lied about the physical attack on a US senator -- that's what she did.  She's not fit to be an attorney general and we damn well don't need any lectures from her bout how to speak in public when all she does is lie.

She's a damn liar.  An elderly woman with nothing to point to.  She's sixty next month.  No kids.  Two failed marriages that combined almost lasted six years.  Career wise?  She's taken actions that can land her in prison and should; however, right now we can just term her a professional disgrace.


Guess she's nothing but the lonely spinster when it comes to work, in love with the boss, pining for him and going home to her empty and barren life each night.


Steven Benen (MADDOW BLOG, MSNBC) notes:


As Schiff documented, Bondi refused to respond to all kinds of legitimate lines of inquiry, including:


whether the attorney general consulted with career ethics lawyers before approving a $400 million gift from the Qatar (a country she was a paid lobbyist for);

what role she played in asking that Trump’s name be flagged in the Jeffrey Epstein files;

whether White House border czar Tom Homan took the $50,000 from undercover FBI agents in the runup to the 2024 election;

whether career prosecutors found insufficient evidence to charge former FBI Director James Comey;

whether Bondi discussed the Comey indictment with Trump;

how the administration concluded that military strikes against civilians in international waters are legal;

whether Bondi approved the firing of antitrust lawyers who disagreed with the Hewlett Packard merger;

whether she supported a fund for violent insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6;

whether the Justice Department had fired career professionals because they worked on Jan. 6 cases;

and whether DOJ employees should have to abide by court orders.

In effectively all of these instances, the attorney general could’ve offered substantive answers. She instead attacked senators for asking good questions she didn’t like.



Pam made many charges and they also seemed baseless so we weren't exact in her claims.  I noted I had a cold -- that's why Ava and I aren't worrying about a piece at THIRD this week.  And I talked about menthol on my resonators.  Shirley said a ton of e-mails asked what resonators are.  Hum.  When you did that just now the vibrations went to a space -- where depends on if you were humming a low note or a high note.  They're basically cavities, like the chest, the nose the areas above or right on the eyebrow, etc.  They're what give our voices color and they're what tend to fill up with snot when we have a cold.    She attacked Senator Sheldon Whitehouse over someone she claimed he had donated to his campaigns.  Alexander Bolton's "Senate Democrat: Bondi campaign contribution accusation ‘simply isn’t true’" (THE HILL) notes that Whitehouse has his staff research his claim and, no, he had not accepted donations from the man she claimed (Reid Hoffman).  

She came in and she knowingly and repeatedly lied.  Senator Alex Padilla reminded her she was under oath but she kept lying.  James Comey is being targeted by Pams and Chump and he didn't lie.  But Pam went and deliberately lied and did so over and over.

 

 

 


Maybe if she'd stop lying and do her actual job of protecting the American people, ICE wouldn't be harming people? 


 

 

 

 
 

 

 
 

She needs to face charges.

 

 


For over four hours, Trump’s former personal lawyer hit Democrats with what sounded like cheap opposition research. She called Sen. Adam Schiff of California “a liar” and “a failed lawyer” and asked him to “​​apologize” to the president for his work as an impeachment manager during Trump’s first term.

Bondi also baselessly claimed that Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island took money from one of Jeffrey Epstein’s “closest confidants,” and she accused Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut of lying about his military record.

I served in the Senate and participated in many oversight hearings during my time there, and I’ve never seen anything like what we witnessed during Bondi’s testimony on Tuesday. I’ve never seen that kind of behavior from any witness, much less the sitting attorney general of the United States.

It was a shocking, ugly and frankly embarrassing display, but it wasn’t Bondi’s behavior that really stunned me. What truly shocked me is that no Republican on the committee, not even Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa, spoke up when the attorney general of the United States spent the entirety of her questioning period with Democratic senators screaming, refusing to answer, and targeting them with ad hominem attacks.

 Claire is 100% correct.  

 

 


Bondi committed crimes in her testimony -- lying under oath is a crime.  These were lies.  She wrote them down ahead of time.  She read them from the page in front of her.  She intended to lie, premediated before the hearing came to order.

She was a joke and she looked as crazed and idiotic as Elisabeth Hasselbeck back when THE VIEW allowed Elizabeth's crazy to run free. 

 

 



That's fine but I was actually talking about that after the hearing with an Epstein survivor.  Bondi is a pedophile protector.  She enables it.  So, in the eyes of the law, that makes her a pedophile. There's nothing passive about her actions.  Pam Bondi has worked to bury the Epstein documents and she's watched -- if not enabled -- as Chump rewarded convicted pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison that a pedophile belongs in to "Camp Fed" in Bryan Texas.  So I think we can all her a pedophile.  I don't think it's stretching.  She's helping with the crime, she's covering up and that makes her an accomplice to the crime.

She repeatedly refused to answer questions about Tom Homan and the $50,000 dollars -- as though the public has no interest in nor right to know when a US official is taking bribes?  


This issue is not going away.  Lisandra Gomez-Tate (2PARAGRAPHS) reports:


Ryan Crosswell, a former attorney in the Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section, where he investigated public officials accused of abusing their power, appeared on CNN (below) and wrote: “I spent years prosecuting bribery cases at the DOJ. When a bag of cash changes hands, it's a solid case. But under Trump's DOJ, friends like Tom Homan get protection, opponents get prosecution.”
According to Crosswell, he resigned from the DOJ in March after he was “pressured to drop a case against a politician charged with corruption because he was a political ally of Donald Trump.”

(That politician was New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was indicted in September 2024 on charges of bribery, fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations. In February 2025, the charges were dismissed by the U.S. Justice Department. Note: Adams dropped out of the 2025 mayoral race in September.)
Crosswell told Erin Burnett on CNN: “The most galling part about it is Pam Bondi has the audacity to say nobody is above the law. But we know that’s not true. Eric Adams is above the law. Tom Homan is above the law. And apparently anyone contained in the Epstein Files is above the law.”



Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are escalating their investigation into the Trump administration's handling of bribery allegations against White House border czar Tom Homan, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Democrats have seized on the allegations, which Homan and the White House have denied, as part of their anti-corruption message against President Trump and his team.
Senate Democrats grilled Attorney General Pam Bondi on the topic at a hearing Tuesday.
She said the Justice Department found no evidence of wrongdoing but did not say if Homan returned the purported $50,000 bribe, Axios' April Rubin reported.
Homan said in a Fox News interview last month he "did nothing illegal" and told NewsNation the reports were "bullsh*t," with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying Homan "never took the $50,000."
Driving the news: In a letter to Associate Attorney General Edmund Woodward, a group of House Democrats led by Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) wrote that Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel "failed to answer" their initial letter on Homan last month.

"We write now to follow up and demand that you answer fundamental questions," they continued.
"Who knew about the Homan cash bribery scandal, when did they know it, and why was Mr. Homan appointed 'Border Czar' even in the face of such damning evidence of his taking bribes for government contracts?"
Zoom in: The lawmakers noted that Woodward led the vetting of potential candidates for administration jobs as part of Trump's 2024 transition team.


 

 

She didn't want to talk Epstein either.  Unless it was a Republican senator asking the question. Isaac Schorr (MEDIAITE) notes this exchange:


KENNEDY:  I’ve got to ask you about this, general. Secretary Howard Lutnick on October 1 gave an interview to The New York Post about Mr. Epstein. And he described Mr. Eppstein as, quote, “the greatest blackmailer ever,” close quote. Have you reviewed that transcript of that interview?

BONDI: I have not reviewed the transcript, but I saw the clip of it.

KENNEDY: Okay. It appears that Secretary Lutnick was Mr. Epstein’s next door neighbor. In fact, their townhomes shared a wall. And the reporter that was talking to Mr. Lutnick, she asked how other prominent men could have been associated with Epstein when Mr. Lutnick could immediately sense that he was a quote “pervert.” And then Secretary Lutnick said, or rather the reporter said, “Did they see it and ignore it?” Do you remember that from the interview?

BONDI: I do.

KENNEDY: And Commerce Secretary Lutnick said, “No, they participated.” And then Commerce Secretary Lutnick goes on to say, quote, “That’s what his MO was. You know, get a massage, get amassage. And what happened in that massage room, I assume was a video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever, blackmail people, that’s how he had money,” end quote. Is that true?

BONDI: Senator, as our July memo said, we did not uncover

evidence. This case has gone through three administrations, as well as former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta-

KENNEDY: I know, I know, I know that, Pam! But have you interview Secretary Lutnick?

BONDI: No, Senator.

KENNEDY: Do you plan to?

BONDI: If he wants to talk to the FBI or the FBI wants to talk to him, that is more than on-

KENNEDY: Don’t you think you ought to talk to him after this interview?

BONDI: Senator, if Howard Lutnick wants to speak to the FBI, and if Director Patel wants to speak to Howard Lutnick, absolutely.

KENNEDY: Okay. Maybe we ought to get Mr. Lutnick in here too, Mr. Chairman.

 


Chump causes the shutdown and continues it in part to cover up for his involvement with pedophiles Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

who got the mansion on 'general hospital

dabimbobondi

 


that's Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "daBimbo Bondi, Freak Of Her Own Party" and pam bondi is a bimbo.  she's a stupid piece of trash.  


sorry, i was busy all monday with errands.  a niece is getting married and she wants to have it at my place which is perfect.  we'll be right next to the ocean. she's shooting for 2 weeks from now and came over yesterday morning.  i had no problem with her using the space.  i did shriek, '2 weeks!'  and she's not some 1 who, as a little girl, planned her future wedding.  so we spent yesterday doing all the basics - figuring out what flowers, figuring out what food, etc, etc.  making guest lists.  today, we went into boston to see t about how my niece can wear her hair and we also found a dress she loves.  we'll look for bridesmaids dresses once she takes another swipe at the guest list (she and her mom are going over that on the phone tomorrow morning).  so it was just a lot and i was so tired that i put on some music and kept telling myself, 'after the next song, i'll open the laptop and get to work on a post.'  that never happened and i fell asleep on the couch.

i watched monday's 'general hospital' today mainly when i opened my e-mails and saw so many with headlines like 'you were right!'

i got lucky.  it just made sense to me that if you cast erika slezak as monica's sister ronnie, you leave her the mansion.  

tracy was ticked off throughout monday's episode.  she argued with what's his face (michael knight's the actor, tad from 'all my children') about the congressman and denying that she assaulted him when she tossed him out in his wheelchair.  drew.  that's the name of the congressman.  (actor also from 'all my children' - i think he was ryan on that show.)  meanwhile, ronnie went to the quartermaine mansion for the reading of the will.  she met michael, ned, etc.  they knew nothing of her.  1 person, don't remember who, maybe ned?, said it was strange that she showed up for the will but not the memorial.  ronnie explained that it was billed as a private memorial so she instead came out to the quartermaine property and paid her respects at the mausoleum.  huh? tracy kicked her off the property.

she talked to them about monica and told them some of the things monica wrote about them in her letters.

tracy shows up and starts screaming for some 1 to get the taser and for ronnie to be thrown off the property.

alexis showed up and said ronnie was supposed to be there.  jason got a watch that had been alan's and edward's before alan.  tracy threw a fit.  monica left her something like a jar of jam lila quartermaine had once made.  lila was tracy's mother.  edward (tracy's father) had done the same in his will and left tracy nothing but that.  'is this a joke!' she screamed.

and then it came down to ronnie.  and she got the house and tracy lost it.

let's close with c.i.'s 'The Snapshot:'


Tuesday, October 7, 2025.  The Supreme Court hears another case from the ADF which lied to them previously, the plaintiff has no standing and that might be more apparent if the press could stop calling her a therapist (she's a counselor, there's a huge difference) and would actually examine her (lack of) training, Chump signals he'll consider a pardon for his pedophile friend Ghislaine Maxwell, his shutdown continues and why wouldn't it -- look at the dysfunctional cabinet he assembled, and much more.
 



The hate group Alliance Defending Freedom is yet again attempting to lie to the Supreme Court.  You'd think you pull that stunt once and you're banned.  That's how it should be at any rate. Justin Jouvenal (WASHINGTON POST) reports:


As a licensed therapist and evangelical Christian, Kaley Chiles said she wants to help religious teens who struggle with sexual orientation and gender dysphoria “live a life consistent with their faith” and the identities God has laid out in the Bible.

Nonetheless, she turns them away.
Chiles says a state law banning conversion therapy for minors — treatment intended to change the identity or behavior of gay and transgender people — silences her and deprives young people of help many desperately seek to reconcile their faith and feelings.

Not far from Chiles’s practice, which sits near the foot of the Rockies, Silas Musick tried to take his life in 2010. The transgender man said the conversion therapy he underwent in Colorado Springs left him distraught. He later testified in support of Colorado’s ban and calls conversion therapy bad medicine.

Those clashing perspectives will square off Tuesday at the Supreme Court in one of the highest-profile cases of the new term, one that crosses multiple fault lines in the nation’s culture wars: gay and transgender issues, religious liberty, medical practice and First Amendment rights.


Don't believe her, she's a F**KING liar, a piece of garbage trash.  Any self-respecting person would not associate themselves with the group of liars about to lie to the Court yet again.  Lie to the court?  Sam Levin (GUARDIAN) explains:

Lawyers from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which has opposed abortion and LGBTQ+ rights in high-profile litigation, are representing a woman challenging a 2019 Colorado law that prohibited conversion practices for youth under age 18. The ban applies to licensed clinicians who seek to change a patient’s sexual orientation or gender identity, tactics medical groups have discredited as harmful and ineffective.

That woman is Kaley Chiles.  Back to the article:

ADF’s petition in the case, Chiles v Salazar, cited several scholars to support its argument that conversion practices should once again be permitted. Two of those experts, however, told the Guardian that ADF had “profoundly” misrepresented their research, which discussed the “psychological damage” of conversion therapy.

The family of a deceased researcher, also quoted by ADF, said they were “deeply disturbed” by the “distortion” of his work.

“This is the most upsetting use of my scholarship that has ever happened in my career,” said Clifford Rosky, a University of Utah professor of constitutional law and civil rights. He has worked to ban conversion practices, but ADF nonetheless cited his research on sexual orientation and LGBTQ+ rights, co-authored with renowned sexuality researcher Dr Lisa Diamond, to bolster its petition. “It’s upsetting because this is lethally dangerous to LGBTQ+ kids,” he said.


These are the liars, ADF, that lied for that fat and ugly computer page 'designer' in Colorado.  WIKIPEDIA notes how they and Lori Smith lied to the Court:

When Smith's suit was filed at the federal district court in 2016, she had not begun designing websites, nor had she received any requests to design a wedding website for a same-sex couple. In 2017, her lawyers from the ADF filed an affidavit from Smith stating that she had received such a request several days after the initial filing, and appended a copy of the request.[6] Smith never responded to the request, and has stated that she feared she would violate Colorado's law if she were to do so.[6] However, the name, email, and phone number on the online form belong to a man who has long been married to a woman, and who stated that he never submitted such a request, as reported by The New Republic on June 29, 2023, a day before the Supreme Court's decision was released.[30] The ADF stated on June 30 that they believe the name was submitted to Smith's website by "a third party or a troll" using the man's personal details; neither they nor their client attempted to verify the requestor's identity.[31][8]

Colorado did not consider the claimed website submission as an actual website and dismissed the request as evidence.[8] The federal district judge, Judge Marcia S. Krieger dismissed the website request claim as there was no indication that the request actually involved a gay couple.[6] Legal experts did not see the request having a decisive impact on the way the Supreme Court ruled on the matter, although constitutional law scholar Erwin Chemerinsky suggested that if the falsity of the request had come up in litigation, the court could have sent the case back to the district court to resolve the factual issue.[8][6] The discovery of this claim in the ADF filings had led to questions of why this information was not discovered before the case was decided by the Supreme Court.[8] It was later discovered by The New Republic that Smith had made a wedding website for a heterosexual couple in 2015, which had been removed from her business's profile prior to her filing the case but remained visible in the Wayback Machine archives. Kate Redburn, a fellow and lecturer at Columbia Law School, stated to The New Republic that the discovery of this website "could seriously undermine [Smith]'s story by revealing a fourth option", as Smith appeared to have offered wedding website services before filing the case without repercussions related to free speech.[32][33]

The New Republic article notes that, "[Smith's] website six months prior to the lawsuit being filed in 2016 does not include any of the Christian messaging that it did shortly afterward...archived versions of the site show."[34]

The controversial ruling sparked widespread criticism from prominent legal theorists and law reviews regarding the plaintiff's lack of standing.[35][36][37][38] ADF's president and CEO called it "a critical ruling affirming all Americans' free speech".[39][40]


Now Kaley Chiles 'counselor' joins them.  Kaley went through high school hating gay people in part due to the fact that everyone called her a "d**e" and thought she was a lesbian.  At one point, in the locker room after gym class, it's said that she was pelted with tampons and called a "carpet biter."  

The dumb idiot has a number of certificates but she majored in Bible studies for her bachelor degree and supposedly she got a  MA in Clinical Mental Health from an online diploma mill.

As a psychologist, I would recommend anyone seeking counseling of any kind to be very wary of a charlatan with those 'qualifications.'

Were I a Supreme Court Justice, I would want to note what specific courses she has taken that give her insight and information on LGBTQ+ teens.  Because she hasn't taken any.  
----------------------
End of Elaine's post.


With fat and ugly Lori Smith, this group lied to the Court.  There ws no request for request for her to design a website for  same-sex couple.  They lied to the court.  Lori also didn't have standing and the case should never have made it before the Court.  Are we aware of the whispers that two sitting Justices on the Court have relationships with ADF?

That would explain why they're being allowed to appear before the Court again despite lying, that would explain why the Court agreed to hear the case despite a lack of standing.

THE WASHINGTON POST doesn't help anyone with sloppy reporting.

She's not a therapist.

She's a licensed counselor.

It makes a difference.

And she's a quack wanting to what?  Conversion therapy. 

Legal or not, she can't do it.  She's not licensed or trained for therapy.  She's a dumb ass counselor.  That's maybe a step above "life coach."

She's not trained to do therapy.  

She has no standing and the Court should never have agreed to hear this garbage suit.

Does THE WASHINGTON POST honestly not understand the difference between a counselor and a therapist?  


Key Takeaways

Counselors focus on specific issues with solution-oriented support; therapists apply psychotherapy to address ongoing patterns; and psychologists use advanced diagnostics and testing to treat complex mental health disorders.
Education and experience requirements for counselors and therapists typically take 7-9 years, while requirements for psychologists take 10-13 years.

Even counting her stupid certificates, she does not have seven yeas of education for this role.  And she has no training with regards to LGBTQ+ people. 

And this quack's wants to be allowed to 'treat'?

Marimow gets it wrong at THE NEW YORK TIMES as well.  Does no one proof the copy anymore?  Even online, Kaley Chiles doesn't claim to be a therapist.  Doing so would risk her losing her licensing to be a counselor.  To the idiot general studies majors who went on to become (bad) journalists, let me explain it to you, this is not unlike an LVN being passed off as a doctor.  She is not a therapist.  Her training is insufficient.  Stop being so sloppy and get the facts right.

And let's note one more damn thing.  She's not licensed and/or trained to counsel teenagers.  You have to be at least 16 for her to counsel you.   She lacks the training to work with anyone younger on a one-on-one basis and, yet again, that's on her damn resume that she's posted online.

Does no one do the damn work required?

Last night on MSNBC, Lawrence O'Donnell revealed shocking news about Chump that was also shocking news about the media.



Donald Chump, the mn QAnon and Rosanne Barr and many, many others have spent years insisting was a protector of children, was someone secretly fighting global sex rings, on camera says yesterday that he will consider pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker and pedophile.  Where re you?   Hey, Roseanne, did they suck out your courage when they sucked out your fat?

And not the media just going along wit Chump's statements?  What does he man he has to look into the case?  He sent Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to speak with Maxwell on two consecutive days and now he doesn't know about the case?  She's supposed to be in  maximum security prison.  But Chump authorized her to be moved to Club Fed in Bryan, Texas.  And he's telling the press he's knows nothing about the case and they're just silent and letting him get away with it instead of peppering with questions?


Donald Trump has been accused of either "lying through his teeth" or being "legitimately senile" after suggesting he'd forgotten who convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is.

Maxwell, who conspired with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to traffic and abuse minor girls in multiple states, had her Supreme Court appeal rejected on Monday. The president, who was once friends with Epstein and was pictured with the disgraced financier and Maxwell throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, also claimed that he "doesn't know anything" about her appeal case, which has dominated headlines for months.



While Chump toys with releasing Maxwell, Congress remains shut down for two reasons -- first, Democrats are attempting to protect the healthcare of millions of American and, second, Speaker of the Closet Mike Johnson is attempting to bury a bipartisan resolution in the House to release the Epstein files.   J.D. Wolf (MEIDASTOUCH NEWS) reports:


Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) accused House Speaker Mike Johnson of working behind the scenes to block a bipartisan bill that would force the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. In a tweet, Massie said Johnson has delayed the swearing-in of the newest member of Congress, Democrat Adelita Grijalva of Arizona (who would be the final signature needed), and spread misinformation about the legislation to prevent a vote, contradicting Johnson’s recent public statements favoring “maximum disclosure.”
Massie’s remarks came in response to a clip of Johnson on MSNBC insisting he wants “every page of this out” and claiming former president Donald Trump is “not implicated.” Massie dismissed those comments as misleading, saying Johnson’s actions show the opposite.

Today on MSNBC's MORNING JOE finds a third reason Johnson's keeping the House closed.



Let's move over to  the little boys of MAGA.  Pedro Camacho (LATIN TIMES) reports:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has urged her supporters to "laugh" at what she described as the "insecure masculinity" behind the MAGA movement — singling out White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller as an example.

During an Instagram Live session on Sunday, the New York Democrat argued that mockery could be an effective tool to counter authoritarian tendencies she pins on the Trump adminitration. "One of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them," Ocasio-Cortez said. "Laugh at them!"
She then pivoted to Miller, calling him "a clown" and commenting on his appearance. "I've never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he's, like, 4 feet 10 inches," she said. "And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he's 4 feet 10 inches. And he looks like he is so mad that he's 4 feet 10 inches, that he has taken that anger out on any other population possible."

Public records list Miller's height as 5 feet 10 inches. Ocasio-Cortez, 35, continued to tell her viewers that humor was a key part of resistance. "Yes, the resistance to authoritarianism is very real. The risks of abuse of power are very real," she said. "But one of the most powerful cultural things you can do to a political movement predicated on the puffery of insecure men — that's what this is about."


AOC is correct.  We've noted that here for years.   Take those Proud Boys.  MAGA loves to hug on that MAGA group.  Have Black Pride or Latino Pride or Gay Pride and watch MAGA hiss, "Pride is a sin!" But never at their Proud Boys. And, as we've noted for years, why would a group of men call themselves "boys"?  There's some really messed up about that.  MAGA men are notoriously insecure -- especially the really young ones.  That's why they are so angry at women and at the notion that women have rights.  If you caught Cyndi Lauper's special Sunday on CBS, didn't you love how she and Cher did their "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" duet and adlibbed "Girls just want to have fundamental rights"?

MAGA boys don't like that.  They're the original "hide her away from the rest of the world" boys.  Not that they can support a wife that they made stay at home.  And while I'm sure that some males and females can handle home schooling, the sad reality is that one reason MAGA boys are so disconnected from the country that they live in is due to home schooling.  Most often it's due to the fact that they are behavioral nightmares whose uneducated parents never taught them how to behave.  

They are overcompensating for their tiny little egos and they can't handle laughter -- especially not when it's aimed at them and their underwhelming life 'accomplishments.'

Grasp that big bad Stephen Miller has a wife who went to work for Alien Musk and did so, supposedly, after Stephen socked Alien in the eye.  He may have punched out Alien but clearly Stevo doesn't rule the house the way he and other MAGA men like to pretend.


He's a little, impotent boy.  And as he tries to act big and in control, he looks more pathetic.  Author Stephen King reminds him:


"Sorry, Steve--The Constitution isn't far left or far right," he wrote. "It's the basis on our democracy, and you're playing the terror card to try and overturn it. Won't work."

Trump's administration has been deploying national guard troops to certain democratic-run cities in recent weeks under the guise of fighting crime, but a recent effort to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon has been blocked by a federal judge.

Stephen Miller is a joke.  He shrieks and screams in that shrill manner of his and no one takes him seriously anymore.  Cameron Anderson (DAILY BEAST) reports:


White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was called out for MAGA’s violent rhetoric after a fire tore through a South Carolina judge’s house.

Judge Diane Goodstein, who had a record of anti-Trump rulings, had been walking her dogs on a beach when her $1.1 million Edisto Beach home went up in flames around midday on Sunday.
Goodstein had reportedly been receiving death threats for a few weeks, the local FITSNews reported.

Three people were hospitalized after the blaze, which is being investigated by authorities.

Last month, Judge Goodstein issued a temporary restraining order to block the Trump administration’s Department of Justice from getting access to the South Carolina Election Commission’s voter registration data.
Democratic Congressman and attorney Daniel Goldman, who served as lead counsel in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump, was quick to tag Miller on X with footage of the fire.

“Stephen Miller and MAGA-world have been doxxing and threatening judges who rule against Trump, including Judge Goodstein,” Goldman wrote on X.

“Today, someone committed arson on the Judge’s home, severely injuring her husband and son. Will Trump speak out against the extreme right that did this??”



Speak out?  Based on Chump's past actions, he'll probably immediately move to pre-emptively pardon the arsonist.   And it's not just the country turning on Stephen Miller, it's also his own family.  Hannah Broughton (THE MIRROR) reports:


Notorious Trump political advisor Stephen Miller has been called out by a member of his own family in a scathing post on social media, that claimed he was the "face of evil".

The post came from Miller's cousin, Alisa Krasmer, who launched a tirade at Trump's political advisor over his role in the administration's controversial immigration crackdown.

Kasmer wrote on Facebook that she needs to "grieve" for her once "harmless" relative, Stephen Miller. She also shared pictures of herself and Miller as children, while urging him to stop supporting Trump's hardline crackdown on immigration.

She wrote, "I am living with the deep pain of watching someone I once loved become the face of evil. I grieve what you've become, Stephen.

"I will never knowingly let evil into my life, no matter whose blood it carries—including my own."


Chump chose the worst and the dimmest when building his cabinet.  No one of integrity wanted to work with him.  It is the wort cabinet ever.  Attorney General Pam daBimbo Bondi is drawing her own boos and hisses.  Josephine Walker (AXIOS) reports:


More than 275 former Justice Department employees are demanding Congress increase oversight of the department following a mass exodus of career officials who question the integrity of the department's work.

Why it matters: The letter comes a day before Attorney General Pam Bondi testifies in front of Congress for the first time since her confirmation, and amid widespread questions about the department's decisions to target President Trump's political foes such as former FBI director James Comey.
It also comes after roughly 4,500 employees officially departed the DOJ following the DOGE-sponsored "fork in the road" buyout offers.
What they're saying: "For decades, the guiding tenet for those working at the department was to do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons. Many believe that's no longer possible," Stacey Young, executive director and founder of Justice Connection, which organized the letter, said in a news release on Monday.

"They're being asked to put loyalty to the President over the Constitution, the rule of law, and their professional ethical obligations," she said.
"We're seeing the erosion of the Justice Department's fabric and integrity at an alarming pace. Our democratic system cannot survive without the primary institution that enforces the law."
The department did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
What's inside: The letter is signed by a wide variety of former employees, including prosecutors, special agents, intelligence analysts, immigration judges and grant managers who slam the DOJ for "failing" in three main areas.

The Trump appointee accusing the president’s political foes of mortgage fraud skipped over his agency’s inspector general when making criminal referrals, according to seven people familiar with the matter, bypassing rules meant to ensure that federal officials don’t abuse their power for partisan purposes. 


It's just one development after another, one exposure after another.

Why are we in a shutdown?

How could we not be?  Look at how Donald has failed at everything.  Repeatedly.  He can't even build  functioning cabinet.   Marisa Taylor and Chris Prentice (REUTERS) report:


The Trump appointee accusing the president’s political foes of mortgage fraud skipped over his agency’s inspector general when making criminal referrals, according to seven people familiar with the matter, bypassing rules meant to ensure that federal officials don’t abuse their power for partisan purposes. 
Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, earlier this year made criminal referrals against targets including Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor whom President Donald Trump has tried to dismiss, for alleged crimes related to their mortgages. Breaking with standard procedures, Pulte circumvented that agency’s internal watchdog, typically the office that would make such referrals, by asking the Justice Department to investigate Cook and two other prominent officials.

“The referrals did not come from the OIG,” one of these people said, using shorthand for the office of the inspector general. “It took people there by surprise.”


Let's wind down with this from Senator Adam Schiff's office:

Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) joined NBC’s Meet the Press with Kristen Welker for a wide-ranging discussion where he reiterated President Donald Trump’s responsibility for the government shutdown, the health care price spikes facing millions of American families, and Congressional Republicans’ refusal to work with Democrats to lower health care costs and stop millions from losing their health care.

Schiff also discussed President Trump’s ongoing attacks against his political enemies, including Democratic-led cities across America, highlighting Trump’s willingness to destroy the rule of law and weaponize key nonpartisan arms of the government like the Justice Department and the National Guard.

View the full interview here. 

Key Excerpts: 

On Trump and Republicans refusing to negotiate an end to the government shutdown and lower costs for Americans:  

I’m confident all Democrats understand that millions and millions of their constituents are about to be priced out of their health care. I was in California last week, in Oceanside and in Anaheim, average families of four are going to see the premiums go up by 900 to $1,000 a month. No one can afford that, and that’s going to happen all across the country. So, I think all my colleagues understand the crisis.  

We need a president who can act like an adult, who can come to the table and negotiate an end to their self-imposed health care crisis. Right now, we don’t see that. We see Trump out on the golf course. We see the Speaker telling his House colleagues not to even come to session, that there’s no work for the federal government to do apparently. That’s completely unacceptable. And in addition to the need to restore health care affordability for people, we need to make sure that any agreement that we reach with Republicans, they will honor. Because right now, they’re telling us, “You can reach an agreement with us, but we’re simply going to withhold any money that’s important to you, any programs that are important to you.” And as for the Speaker telling you, or not telling you, his position on the president threatening mass layoffs of federal employees, there’s no one forcing him to do that. He will do that because he wants to do that. Because he and Russell Vought want to cause even more pain for the American people. That is unprecedented. No other president during shutdown has sought to maximize the harms to people, but that’s where this president is coming from. 

On Trump eroding the trust between the American people and the military: 

[…] The president was being candid when he described these American cities as the enemy within. He views them as the enemy within. That is unprecedented in its dangerousness. That is that the American president who views cities that didn’t support him or states that didn’t support him as the enemy, that he describes the opposite party as beholden to Satan. That’s where this president is coming from. And the idea that we will militarize these cities, that we will impose the U.S. military on the mayors and governors of those cities and states should be unthinkable.

And for Speaker Johnson to claim, as he did when you interviewed him, that somehow these National Guard troops that, over the governor’s opposition, are being forced to engage in policing or immigration enforcement, are very happy to be doing it — I can tell you in California, the National Guard were not happy to be doing it. It is, I think, greatly impacting morale in the National Guard. And it is also disrupting the trust that Americans have for their National Guard. We have a particular bond in California where they come to our rescue during fires and floods and other natural disasters. That is being eroded as, I think, is also military readiness when we’re diverting military resources for these improper purposes. 

On Trump’s baseless quest for retribution and the need for Republicans to stand up to the corruption: 

[…] He’s described me as the enemy within. He’s described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Department to go after his political enemies, and he’s using the Justice Department to protect his political friends, like Tom Homan, the border czar, who reportedly took 50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents. And they made the case go away. This should concern every American, not just those he’s tweeting about, like myself, but anyone who cares about whether the Justice Department can be used against people for expressing their views, or doing their job, or holding the president accountable, anyone who cares about whether the administration can go after late night comedians, or tell corporations who they can hire, or tell law firms who they can represent.

It is all part of the same attack on our democracy. And I will say, if this goes on, if Republicans allow this to go on for four years, there will be nothing left of our democracy. We have an opportunity to stop this. It would require just a handful of Republicans of conscience to oppose these lawless actions, this abuse of the Justice Department and abuse of the [FCC] and everything else. We need them to stand up and do their duty.
