that awful caitlyn jenner, a real c**t

President Donald Trump's attempt to ban transgender people from military service continues an unfortunate history of the armed services excluding marginalized people from the "privilege of serving," a federal judge wrote Tuesday night.

In a 79-page decision, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes blocked the Trump administration from enacting the policy and offered a scathing rebuke of the Pentagon's development of the policy.

"The Court's opinion is long, but its premise is simple. In the self-evident truth that all people are created equal, all means all. Nothing more. And certainly nothing less," Judge Reyes wrote.

The ruling came as part of Talbott vs. Trump, a lawsuit filed on Jan. 28 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups Glad Law and the National Center for Lesbian Rights on behalf of six active duty transgender service members.

great news.

but where's that c**t caitlyn jenner?

more than any 1, she caused the backlash against trans people. how? by the insistence that people had to pretend she was pretty.

she was a dog. dog faced and ugly. i felt so sorry for jessica lange - a beautiful person - when people were saying jenner looked like jessica.

well caitlyn's loving on her dirty ass man donald chump again and she wants people to know that she is more masucline' than tim walz.

caitlyn, your peer group in maga never stopped seeing you as a man.

they're not calling you a c**t, they're calling you a man. that's how they see you.

note that even though you're crazy as s**t and a danger to this country, i'm not dead naming you.

i'm just noting you're a c**t and a very ugly woman. also a bad parent:

The former Princes of Malibu star also posited that his inconsistent relationship with his father will make him a "better father" to his own daughter.

"I think not having Bruce around growing up and her doing that transition, it was tough just being her son," he said. "I just had a beautiful little daughter. I'm not living for myself anymore. I'm living for her."

Brody added that he's "gonna do the exact opposite of, as far as being there for her, as my father did for me."

At another point in the Special Forces episode, he reflected a bit more on the idea that he wants to be even more present in Honey's life because of how infrequently he saw his father while growing up.

"When you have kids, you need to accept a little bit of responsibility that the things you do are also going to reflect on them as well," Brody shared. "I think it really has shaped me to do everything different and to really be there and to be present to my little girl."

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

Wednesday, March 19, 2025. Daily carnage in Gaza so where are the ones who told you not to vote for Kamala now?

This morning, Jason Burke (GUARDIAN) reports:

Israel has launched a fresh wave of airstrikes in Gaza on the second day of its resumed offensive in the devastated Palestinian territory.

The attacks were far less intensive than the massive strikes early on Tuesday morning, which killed more than 400 people and shattered the relative calm since a 19 January ceasefire paused the 18-month war.

Three people died in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Sabra suburb in Gaza City, while another left two dead and wounded six others in the northern town of Beit Hanoun, Gaza health officials said.

Mahmud Bassal, a spokesperson for Gaza’s civil defence agency, put the death toll higher, saying that 13 people had been killed since midnight, including several in the city of Khan Younis in Gaza’s south.

Let's note Tabitha from yesterday.

And what does fatty think now? Fatty's Samraa Luqman. She's the 'activist' in the video above bragging about giving her son the Donald Chump hat.

Fatty was all over the media. She was part of Norman Solomon's effort to destroy Joe Biden's chances at re-election, the group that morphed into an anti-Kamala Harris group when Biden dropped out. In fact, fat and facially mutilated Samraa Luqman was the co-chair of Abandon Harris. And strictly observant Muslim men in other countries made fun of her because of all those piercings on her face. But she just knew best about everything.

Remember, kids, it was DSA. That's why I do not trust them. They're Socialists who hide in political closets. Rashida Tlaib is one. They pose as Democrats for public view but they're Socialists. Democratic Socialists of America. They started in the early 80s and check those early years stories where they bragged to any outlet that would listen that they were going to be the new big party. They were going to destroy the Democrats. Not right then, you understand. They needed ballot access. So they'd run on the Democrats spots but they were going to change everything. They had 20,000 across the country and it was going to be millions any day now. Over 45 years later, they're around 80,000 nationally so maybe given them another four decades and they'll finally crack one million voters -- which still wouldn't be enough to win a presidential election

156,302,318 t is how many people voted in 2024's presidential election but while they can't elect a president, they can -- and did -- do their lying and whoring to make a worthy candidate not seem worth voting for.

Turnout is everything in an election. And when the Dems have turnout on their side, they win. So Chump only won because of the whores and liars, the tricksters -- the Amy Goodman freak show crowd.

As Mike observed last night:

We could have had Kamala Harris. She would have been a great president. But DSA -- Democratic Socialists of America -- worked to defeat her. Some DSAers hide in the Green Party and some hide in the Democratic Party. But they are Socialists. And they lied to people. And that's how Chump got in the White House. If you're new to how DSA scammed the country, read C.I.'s "2024: The Year of Betrayal From Inside The Left." which addresses how Amy Goodman lied and worked to defeat Kamala. And be sure to also read Ava and C.I.'s "Media: How Amy Goodman harmed immigrants and helped elect Chump."

We could have had Kamala. But DSAers like Rashida Tlaib lied and whored and now we're stuck with Chump. Now we're stuck waking up every morning to a new nightmare.

Be nice if at some point they could take accountability for what they did.

And until they do? We won't trust them.

We don't trust them because they lie. When Samraa was running in 2022 (and losing) against Alabas Farhat and Khalil Othman, she was public about being DSA. But when it was time to tank Kamala, they didn't need DSA. They needed people to believe they were Democrats because then the narrative was 'Democrats aren't supporting Kamala.' Had the same media outlets told the truth and went with headlines like "Socialist aren't supporting Kamala," it wouldn't have had the same impact.

And that's what led to Sarah Smith (BBC NEWS) writing junk like this in October of 2024:

I expected to hear some of them say they couldn’t vote for Harris, and would be sitting out the vote. But Samraa Luqman, who describes herself as further left than most Democrats, said she is not only voting Trump but is actively encouraging others to do so.

“I believe there has to be accountability for all the lives lost,” she told me. “I do not forgive the Democrats for it, and I will not be scared into voting for them.”

"Further left than most Democrats"? Of course she is, she's a Socialist. But BBC didn't do the work required and identified her as a Democrat in the photo accompanying their article. November 1st, she got NPR coverage:

And across the cafe, Samraa Luqman, a Yemeni American community organizer, is ready to pick those votes up for Trump.

She said she met with former President Trump recently in Dearborn, where he made a promise to her to end the war. That stands in stark contrast to his public statements, in which he said Israel should “finish the job” and criticized Harris and Biden for calling for a cease-fire. At a rally for Trump just this weekend, speakers used racist and misogynistic rhetoric, including Rudy Giuliani. He demonized Palestinian toddlers, falsely claiming they are “taught to kill us at two years old.”

Asked why, despite this rhetoric, she believes Trump’s promise to end the war, Luqman says he’s more likely to do so than Harris.

“Believe him or not, if there is a 99% chance that Trump is going to continue the genocide and I have to weigh it against 100% chance that it's going to continue under Harris, I'm going to take the 99% chance,” she said. “The fact that there is that slight hope means that I need to go with the best thing for my people.”

And she’s not the only one making this calculation. This weekend, several prominent Arab and Muslim leaders endorsed Trump at a campaign rally in Michigan.

Luqman’s children are half-Palestinian, and this year of watching kids being killed is intolerable, she said. She blames the Biden administration and Harris directly for these deaths.

“It hurts a lot. That hurt has transformed into rage,” she said. “I will do everything in my power to ensure Harris loses. Whatever I can do. And, I’m still a Democrat.”

She sees this as a path to building real political power for a community that has over 200,000 votes in Michigan. For context, Trump won this state by about 11,000 votes in 2016 and Biden won by over 150,000 in 2020.

No, she wasn't a Democrat, she was a Socialist attempting to take over the Democratic Party. A Democrat would never say of their own presidential nominee, "I will do everything in y power to ensure Harris loses." A Socialists from DSA would. It's the type of behavior Maurice Isserman denounced in his 2023 column for THE NATION entitled "Why I Just Quit DSA:"

And then suddenly, in the second decade of the 21st century, DSA had a growth spurt, not unlike SDS in the mid-1960s, bringing it belatedly to national political relevance. Tens of thousands of eager young recruits were energized by the 2016 presidential bid of democratic socialist Bernie Sanders (although Sanders was not a member of DSA), and the election to Congress of DSA members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib in 2018, joined by Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman in 2020.

Unlike my generation, for whom the overriding issue of the late 1960s was opposition to the war in Vietnam, most of DSA’s new members were attracted to the organization by its proposals for substantial, vital, and above all realizable domestic reforms (Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, student debt relief, tenants’ rights, etc). As a result, between 2016 and 2020 DSA’s membership expanded from 6,000 to 90,000-plus, while dropping the average age of members from 60-something to 20-something. Scores of new chapters opened up, including many located in cities and states that haven’t seen an active socialist presence since the era of Eugene Debs, if ever. And those young, energetic recruits proved remarkably politically savvy and successful in the field of electoral politics, not only elevating four members to Congress, but also sending nearly 200 others to state legislatures, city councils, and other offices, almost always as Democrats.

All well and good -- except for the return of the entryists. Suddenly, in the eyes of revolutionary purists in a host of small competing sects, DSA was no longer to be sneered at as just a reformist swamp. “Why rob banks?” career criminal Willie Sutton was once allegedly asked by a reporter. “Because that’s where the money is,” he replied. The exchange is apocryphal, but substitute warm bodies for cold cash, and it offers a concise explanation for DSA’s sudden attractiveness to sectarian strategists. Unknown numbers-- hundreds, perhaps more -- started joining in 2016, some of them former members of defunct Marxist-Leninist groups, others (in violation of DSA bylaws) still belonging to and carrying out the agendas of such groups. They proceeded to quarrel and compete among themselves, splitting and recombining under various banners like “Red Star,” “Marxist Unity Group,” and even the “Communist Caucus.” But they remained united in one overarching shared aim -- to take a well-meaning, not particularly well-organized, and essentially social democratic organization still committed in practice to the original DSA vision of creating “the left wing of the possible,” and reinvent it as the mass vanguard party of the proletariat that somehow they had never been able to pull off while operating under their own banners of deepest red.

DSA, meanwhile, thrived between 2016 and 2020—because it proved it could win victories in the here-and-now, give-and-take world of electoral politics. And that, ironically, was intolerable to the entryists (who preferred to refer to themselves as “partyists”), because they didn’t want socialists to remain as a wing of, or even a loyal opposition within the Democratic Party. They wanted a break, in the not terribly distant future, from the intolerable compromises required to appeal to mainstream voters and to compromise with mainstream politicians. And they also believed that DSA members elected to public office were, first and foremost, obliged to follow the positions adopted by the organization, rather than their constituents or their own conscience, as if they were already subordinate to the dictates of an old-fashioned Marxist-Leninist central committee.

At each of DSA’s biannual conventions in recent years, the sectarian caucuses (comprised of entryists and those they recruited) gained strength in the organization’s ruling body, the 16-member National Political Committee, until finally achieving a working majority in the August 2023 convention. There is a curious aspect to this influx of new leaders. Virtually nobody in the organization, outside the ranks of the various caucuses, knows who they are, or what they stand for. (DSA members, take this test. Go to this website, and see how many names you recognize, and of those you do know, how many can you assign to the caucus or viewpoint they represent?)

In the old days, everyone in DSA knew who Mike Harrington was and who Barbara Ehrenreich was and how they agreed upon or differed on organizational priorities. The same was true of other leaders in responsible positions in the old DSA, who tended to have long and public track records as organizers and writers. Whatever its shortcomings, there was nothing mysterious about the inner workings of DSA back then. Can the same be said today?

As the new hard-line caucuses gained influence, the issue of Palestine became ever more important in DSA’s internal political culture. In 1982, when DSA began, support for Labor Zionism was widespread in its ranks. But over the next several decades, the Labor Party faded as a political force in Israel to be replaced by right-wing Zionists, and the prospects for a “two-state” solution to the Palestinian question evaporated. I doubt if many DSAers today would describe themselves as Zionists of any stripe, although many (at least many of my acquaintance), remain committed to Israel’s right to exist as well as its right—within limits that it too often violates—to defend its national security. In any case, there are few if any DSAers, veterans as well as newcomers, who are not critics of Israel’s repressive policies in the West Bank and Gaza.

But that doesn’t account for the singularly important role of Palestine in DSA’s rather short list of international concerns, completely overshadowing the attention paid, for example, to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or to the rights of other oppressed peoples, like the Kurdish Muslims, or China’s Uyghur Muslims. Concern for Palestine, entirely legitimate in itself, also served other purposes for DSA’s new sectarian leadership, furnishing a convenient stick to beat DSA’s moderate wing if it wasn’t willing to embrace the most extreme positions on the Palestinian question—up to and including denying Israel’s right to continued existence.

Starting as far back as the 2017 national convention, chants of “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free” began to be heard at DSA gatherings, and support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel became a litmus test within the organization for political purity. For the sectarians, discrediting elected DSAers who fail that test helps to move the organization closer to the desired break with the Democratic Party. There was a serious push within DSA to sanction or even expel Representative Bowman for voting to approve US funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system, and for traveling to Israel in 2021 on a trip sponsored by the liberal Zionist (and pro-Palestinian rights) group J Street. (The effort failed, but Bowman quietly let his membership to DSA lapse in 2022—chalk one up for the “partyists.”)

That's what they do, they destroy. They destroyed Bowman and they destroyed Kamala. Bowman was one of their own and they didn't care.

I have friends who are DSA. I've worked with them on issues before. When Barbara Ehrenreich wanted to be on a national paper's op-ed page, I supplied the e-mail that got her there. The one from the female editor who'd replaced the only female columnist the paper had at that time with a man for six weeks while the woman -- oh, it was Maureen Dowd. Let's just be honest. Maureen was the only woman on the pages and she went on vacation and the idiot Gail Collins replaced her with a man. I called out Gail and Gail responded that she was under no pressure to replace Maureen with another woman. She didn't have to do that blah blah blah. Now Gail was also trying to sell herself as a feminist. I'd circulated that e-mail in real time. Almost a year later, Barbara called and asked if she could have a copy of the e-mail, I hadn't forwarded it to her, because she wanted to contact Gail with the e-mail and explain that she was going to write about it. She thought -- and she was correct -- that just doing that would force Gail into offering her the opportunity to fill in for Maureen. And it did.

But I have worked with them. We'll come back to that, let's deal with fatty fake cakes. ALJAZEERA on November 2nd:

Samraa Luqman wants Arab Americans to be blamed if Democratic candidate Kamala Harris loses to her Republican rival Donald Trump in the United States election.

For too long, Democrats have taken the Arab vote for granted, and it is time for them to pay the price for the United States-backed Israeli war on Gaza and Lebanon, Luqman said.

I will show up the next day if Harris loses, I will say: It’s because of this community, it is because of Gaza and because of the genocide, that you lost,” Luqman told Al Jazeera in her office in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn.

“Take the credit for your power. I’m all for it.”

The Yemeni American activist is part of a growing electoral bloc that would have been unthinkable a few years ago: Arab Americans for Trump.

January 17th, Fatty popped up in Sam Westrop's piece for WESTERN ISLAMISM:

News of the ceasefire particularly delighted Samraa Luqman, co-chair of the Abandon Biden campaign in Michigan.

Luqman told CBC news: “I’m thrilled that the one promise that President Trump made to me has actualized before he even got inaugurated. … If there’s anything I feel, it’s anger that Biden couldn’t have done this sooner himself and [offered] relief for the children of Gaza.”

Luqman, along with radical officials at the Islamist-run city of Hamtramck and Dearborn, were key to Trump’s successful appeal to Muslim voters in Michigan.

AFP found her February 7th:

"I do not regret my vote," said Samra'a Luqman, a political activist in this Detroit suburb of 110,000, where most residents have Middle Eastern or North African heritage.

[. . .]

"We've seen the great march of return, emotions I can't even describe," said 42-year-old Luqman, describing the overwhelming joy of displaced Palestinians finally returning home despite the devastation. She credited Trump for making the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas possible.

At the start of this month, fatty Luqman was whining to THE NATIONAL:

“There is absolutely a level of contention between those who supported Trump and those that voted for Harris, and even the ones that didn’t,” says Samra Luqman, a community activist and Trump supporter.

“When Trump makes a statement, the people that supported him are getting backlash for it, as if we're responsible for everything he says and does. And at the same time, there is still an ostracisation of those who supported Harris.”

She feels ostracized by Democrats. Oh, how surprising. She's that much of an idiot as is DSA which is why I just can't deal with them as an organization most of the time. They forever destroy themselves. But it's the trickery and the lying that really gets me.

Chuck Schumer. Link goes to yesterday's snapshot. Some are offended by my saying he should step down. Two e-mails say I'm doing DSA's work for them. DSA hates Chuck and that's not a new development. My critique was based upon the need to rally Democrats and how Chuck failed. I stand by that critique.

Bernie is not DSA but so many Bernie freaks are that I often ignore him. AOC is DSA and there are tensions between the two. AOC would get more attention here if she weren't DSA.

They're running a game -- DSAers -- on the rest of us. That's especially true of YOUTUBE liars.

I don't trust them for all the reasons outlined above. But if Chuck messes up as big as he did last week, I can't stay silent out of fear that speaking out might help whatever DSA is plotting now.

They work in the shadows and they scheme and they lie. As an organization that's what they do. It's a point Maurice was making in his 2023 column. I know Maurice casually. Not enough to know of that column until yesterday when someone who knows us both visited and asked why I never cited that column? (Again, didn't know about it.)

Fatty Luqman wanted all the credit for defeating Kamala ahead of the election and immediately after. She insisted it was going to give her power. Power over the Democratic Party. If that escaped you, go read the above again. It wasn't about the Palestinian people. Fatty Luqman isn't Palestinian. It was about her power grab. And now she's shocked to discover that Kamala voters don't want anything to do with her.

That's what she's whining about this month. Not about the deaths in Gaza carried out by Chump. No, it's about how her attempted power grab didn't pay off for her. DSA comes along in 1982. But one of its feeders was around for decades and never accomplished a damn thing. Not for the left, anyway.

It did birth neocons. It did birth Reagan appointees

And as THE VANGUARD does their one millionth video on how Ana and Cenk are so repugnant, Zac and Gavin continue to stay silent on DSA.

But Cenk and Ana were DSA.

And that's why their shift and grift are not at all surprising. This is the story from the fifties forward of the extreme left in the United States. A lot of people shift with age. But the DSA and its feeder produce a lot more of these right wingers. That's because lying and tricking is so important them and when they fail on the left, they go over to the right-wing and do the exact same thing -- but for the right-wing.

Taylor Lorenz did a hideous video yesterday (see Ava and my "MEDIA: Taylor Lorenz doesn't do analytics or journalism (at least not in any meaningful manner)"). She wanted you to know about fake asses. She's part of the DSA circle jerk which is why she didn't tell you about those fake asses. JACOBIN is the DSA bible and Ana did their podcast, hosted it. She did it very poorly and gathered a ton of complaints but they kept her on. That's a whole other story but just in case this is the last snapshot what I'm really trying to get at today is that you need to start asking yourself if it's okay that outlets you trust are lying and tricking you? Is it really worth it to you? All of these things taking place in the shadows and hidden from you. That's okay?

Kyle and Cenk start Justice Democrats (Justice Socialists) and then both get a pass for years. Finally, Cenk's pass has been revoked but there's an unwritten rule in place that prevents any of this criticism of Cenk (or Ana) noting that they were DSA. Why are people in political closets?

If you can follow the above, that's great. If not, it's not you. I'm having surgery in a few hours and throughout this morning as I've dictated this snapshot, I've had to repeatedly stop to take a call from a concerned friend. So this is more disjointed than normal. My apologies for that. If all goes well, I'll have afternoon posts here. If I need a little more time to recover, nothing will go up here until 8;00 pm EST.

Let's wind down with this from Senator Patty Murray's office:

Legislation would provide permanent safeguards for pregnant and postpartum women in ICE and CBP custody; Rep. Garcia to introduce companion legislation in the House

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member and former chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) led 22 senators last week in reintroducing her Stop Shackling and Detaining Pregnant Women Act. The legislation will protect the health and safety of pregnant, postpartum, and lactating women in immigration detention by establishing a presumption of release, prohibiting any agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from shackling pregnant women in its custody—including those in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP)—and setting new standards of care and transparency for the treatment of pregnant women and youth. Congresswoman Sylvia R. Garcia (D, TX-29) will soon be reintroducing companion legislation in the House.

“Shackling pregnant women in immigration custody is not only unnecessary, it is dangerous and traumatic for women and their pregnancies—and there is simply no justifiable reason for this barbaric practice,” said Senator Murray. “At a time that we have a president whose approach to immigration appears to be cruelty for cruelty’s sake, it is more important than ever that we act to ensure all pregnant women in custody are treated humanely and with respect. I will continue to fight against the gross mistreatment of pregnant women in immigration detention and am proud to join my friend Rep. Garcia in reintroducing this important legislation.”

The mistreatment of pregnant women in ICE detention has been well-documented—and without basic protections, pregnant women in ICE detention are at higher risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, and other pregnancy-related health complications. A Government Accountability Office study published in 2020 found that between 2016 and 2018, ICE detained pregnant women over 4,600 times. As Congress increased its oversight of the detention of pregnant, postpartum, and nursing women that number has dropped to just 158 pregnant, postpartum, and nursing women detained in the first half of Fiscal Year 2024.

The Stop Shackling and Detaining Pregnant Women Act is supported by: The American Civil Liberties Union, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Center for Reproductive Rights, Church World Service, Families USA, In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, MomsRising, National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum, National Council of Jewish Women, National Immigrant Justice Center, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, National Women’s Law Center, Reproductive Freedom for All, and Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

In the Senate, the legislation is cosponsored by U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Chris Coons (D-DE), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Dick Durbin (D-IL), John Fetterman (D-PA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Andy Kim (D-NJ), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ed Markey (D-MA), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Jack Reed (D-RI), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Adam Schiff (D-CA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Peter Welch (D-VT), and Ron Wyden (D-OR).
