As the QAnon Meme Queen, Deborah Sullivan has for years been fighting a non-existent cabal of pedophiles.
But when her own son was convicted of repeatedly abusing his own stepdaughter, Sullivan defended him, blasting the 12yr old girl “a horrible liar.”https://t.co/otjG2fwNGH— David Gilbert (@daithaigilbert) February 24, 2023

Oh my goodness! Now it looks like a set of sheets from B. Smith!
Most major browsers have a PDF reader built in and are competent enough, I shy away from Adobe and apps that need subscriptions. I do use Adobe Elements because it does a good enough job at color correction and blemish removal, I’m several versions behind. I was fortunate enough to buy the Windows Snapseed app before Google scooped them up and that is what I use the most.
re: #1 ckkatz
re: #6 Teukka
The main thrust of the linked article, though, is about how “MemeQueen” Deborah Sullivan is trying to deal with her son’s conviction in the abuse case, i.e., imploring “The (Real) President” - you-know-who - to somehow intervene and “do something” about this awful injustice…
However, as the Vice piece concludes:
As well as appealing to Trump, Sullivan has flagged a number of other prominent figures in the QAnon world, including Dave Hayes, who is known as “Praying Medic.” She has also appealed to MyPillow CEO and “Stop the Steal”-funder Mike Lindell and far-right personality Dan Bongino.
Under one Telegram post, some of Sullivan’s followers had other suggestions for her to contact, including the sovereign citizen grifter David Straight, far-right podcaster and COVID conspiracy theorist Stew Peters and QAnon lawyer Lin Wood.
So far, none of those she has asked for help, appear to have responded to her requests.
Tragic, ain’t it….??

Dang it.
At the moment, it’s a fifty-fifty mix of light rain and big snowflakes in Laverne, Ca. This is the first time in sixty-four years of living around this area in the valley that I’ve seen actual snow make it to the ground. It’s been doing it for a half-hour now.
Addendum: It just stopped, but with the front still on its way, I’m hoping for more.

It’s a sad and very well-known fact, that many pedophile hunters, especially the most fervent ones, actually are child molesters, or have similarly problematic behaviors wrt children…

Looking at the 500mb winds, the low now looks more like a cyclone, but it parked itself off of the bight. The early forecasts had it parking off of San Diego:
Local temp is 10F below what is was at 4am. We’re over 20F below normal right now for what should be the warmest part of our day.

With all of the rain, and the land subsidence around Corcoran, we might get Lake Tulare back! One hundred and fifty years ago, it was the largest lake in the US west of the Mississippi. It dried up due to the diversion of all of its inflow for agriculture.

One thing you won’t hear from Republicans or Libs of Tik Tok.
In the past week, seventeen people have been charged or convicted of raping children.
Of those seventeen:
Fourteen were Christian pastors or youth pastors.
One was the husband of a Christian youth pastor.
One was a police officer. One was a teacher.
None were drag queens or LGBT+.
He may call himself Messianic Jew but I call him a fucking scumbag.

Does Christianity promote this? No (though the Bible does, and with the caveat a lot of churches do, such as child marriage).
Does it instil proper morals? It would appear not.
As for Jew for Jesus up there, I really hope he enjoys a very long prison stay, but with conservatives on the courts, it seems not very likely.
Note the Qanon woman who’s son in Oklahoma was convicted of raping a nine year-old was sentenced to five years and a $5,000 fine.

There’s a lot of that. There is, sadly, not a small amount of pedophilia or ephebophilia involved, as well. They may not realize it at the time; some of these youth pastors truly think they’re just genuinely compassionate about caring for teenagers and ministering to their souls.

I’m not willing to give them the “benefit of the doubt” on they think they’re truly compassionate. I think they are in a position of authority in a religion that says you must submit to that authority, and they take advantage of it.
It happens far too often to think they are simply misguided.

Nolte has reached an 11 yr. old’s realization of reverse psychology. That’s above the usual Breitbart level. Thing is, Stern and the libs weren’t ‘using’ it to affect behavior. They were using it for humor.
I think I managed to piss my brother off. He asked me if I was on call today. Nope, I said. What’s up?
Oh, I think I want to go see a movie (implying that I’ll babysit mom, who came home yesterday. Which one, I asked? Jesus Revolution, he said.
Now we all know that I absolutely have no filter and I run in where angels fear to tread. So I told him, “if you go, can you tell me if they tell people that Lonnie Frisbee was gay and was thrown out of two groups for being gay? Because this movie is about Greg Laurie (who is pretty much behind this movie) and Chuck Smith, and Lonnie Frisbee was involved, and he was queer. It’s not honest if they don’t tell you that Lonnie was gay.” Then I switched over to telling him how I tried to explain “Cocaine Bear” to my Japanese tutor (who must think I’m nuts, but that’s a different story).
Thing is, I know my brother is watching services online from a Calvary Chapel in Colorado (don’t know which one and YES I HAVE TRIED TO FIND OUT) every Sunday, and this just confirms that Calvary Chapel (which Chuck Smith founded and where Greg Laurie is a bigwig) must be pushing this like crazy. I don’t think he was very happy that I threw a bomb into what he probably expected was going to be a feel-good movie about Jesus freaks.
As it turns out, my brother said he was not going to see the movie, and he’s now in his room sulking with his bird. Do I feel sorry about what I did? No, because I was telling him the truth. Calvary Chapel, Chuck Smith, Greg Laurie and the rest have been riding on the legend of Lonnie Frisbee for decades, but they’re utterly dishonest about the fact that Frisbee was gay and he died of AIDS in 1993.
My real concern is that if I tell him that I’m asexual and that I support the LGBTQIA community, he might go fanatic right wing religious on me and decide I’m not fit to be around him and mom. *waves hands* I’m not going to lie to him.

The article says he’s been written out of the official history of Calvary Chapel. It also claims he became a Christian Evangelical by reading the Bible (particularly the Gospel of John) while tripping on acid.
It does sound like these guys are trying to whitewash his history, and you were right to inform your brother with the truth. (Sometimes exposing Lying for Jesus becomes the first crack in a person’s faith.)

The reality is that there’s not a lack of evidence, the reality is that the American media got bored of the war once it shifted from “titanic struggle against losing odds” and became “self-proclaimed superpower getting their asses kicked.” Even the recent “War on Terror” went from being a constant story on the American media to an “In other news” bit within a year, the embedded reporters switching from the high-profile faces who wanted their moment in history over to the poor bastards who’d pissed off a producer/editor somewhere in their careers.

Since he was also involved in a number of antisemitic scandals, it’s not surprised he would hook up with Roger Waters.

Every “The RU/UA War is the West’s fault” argument inevitably winds up just arguing that Russia has a right to the countries surrounding it and anybody who says otherwise is guilty of provoking their wrath.

Yeah, an interesting choice for “No. 1” - it is, actually, the Detroit Institute of Arts - one of the classic Old School American Museums (i.e. founded back in the late-19th-Century/early-20th-Century as a didactic institution financed by local capitalists as a prestige project for civic culture).

Of course not, like so many voices in American foreign policy academia, he’s a lingering product of the Cold War. People who were weaned on the concept of “Mutually Assured Destruction” and that anything that might push a Russian leader to considering nuclear options was to be avoided at all costs. Hence why, for all of our talk of being supporters of liberty and freedom, we were willing to turn our backs on attempts during the Cold War by Soviet client states to throw off their Russian overlords.

Of course not, like so many voices in American foreign policy academia, he’s a lingering product of the Cold War. People who were weaned on the concept of “Mutually Assured Destruction” and that anything that might push a Russian leader to considering nuclear options was to be avoided at all costs. Hence why, for all of our talk of being supporters of liberty and freedom, we were willing to turn our backs on attempts during the Cold War by Soviet client states to throw off their Russian overlords.
Maybe: but that paradigm doesn’t seem quite as applicable in the 2020s as it did Back In The Day. In say, Hungary 1956, or Czechoslovakia 1968: whatever we might think of “attempts during the Cold War by Soviet client states to throw off their Russian overlords”; “we” didn’t have a lot we could actually DO about it - from a military-force viewpoint (which, of course, is all the Russians have, can, or ever will understand). But Ukraine 2022 is a different scenario altogether: “we” CAN - finally - do something about it.
Which, of course, drives the tankies absolutely nuts….
This is unconfirmed, and could be someone’s bad idea of a joke, a Russian troll/bot, but one can’t put it past #SleazyE to actually try to monetize support for Ukraine…

Given the sheer scale of the operations and the severity of the problems, we are calling on consumers to help us map the mushroom supply across the United States and Canada.

Sleazy wouldn’t ban a Ukrainian flag. However, he might just look the other way if a Russian intel-operation stole the person info of those who put up such flags.

Hey Lizardia…
Is anyone from Alabama on at the moment? The newspapers in Huntsville, Birmingham, Mobile and in Gulfport MS all print their last issues on Sunday morning, and as a collector of last issues of newspapers I’m trying to get my hands on copies.
If you can help, DM me! You’ll be rewarded for your troubles…

re: #100 Barefoot Grin
You mean this racist wrote that view from nowhere?
A Times Editor Is Demoted as the Paper Discusses Its Coverage of Race (New York Times, August 13, 2019)
Mr. Weisman, who joined The Times in 2012, was under scrutiny for messages he posted on Twitter on July 31 and Aug. 7. In the July 31 posts, he implied that it was inaccurate to describe certain politicians from urban areas as being representative of the Midwest and the South. He specifically mentioned four Democrats: Representatives Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Lloyd Doggett of Texas and John Lewis of Georgia. Three of the four are minorities.
“Saying @RashidaTlaib (D-Detroit) and @IlhanMN (D-Minneapolis) are from the Midwest is like saying @RepLloydDoggett (D-Austin) is from Texas or @repjohnlewis (D-Atlanta) is from the Deep South,” Mr. Weisman wrote. “C’mon.”
Mr. Weisman, who is white, deleted the tweet and a pair of follow-ups after they were criticized as racist on Twitter and in the African-American-focused online publication The Root.
The Times’s standards editor, Phil Corbett, advised Mr. Weisman to be more careful on social media, Mr. Weisman said. But on Aug. 7, he ventured into similar territory.
Replying to a Twitter post by the progressive political organization Justice Democrats that included a photograph of Morgan Harper, a candidate the group was backing for a United States House seat in Ohio, Mr. Weisman noted that she would be challenging Representative Joyce Beatty, an African-American Democrat.
Ms. Harper quickly replied to Mr. Weisman’s message, telling him, “I am also black.”
To that, Mr. Weisman replied, “@justicedems’s endorsement included a photo,” as if that settled the matter.
Roxane Gay, a contributing opinion writer to The Times since 2015, joined the discussion with a tweet that said, “Any time you think you’re unqualified for a job remember that this guy, telling a black woman she isn’t black because he looked at a picture and can’t see, has one of the most prestigious jobs in America.”

re: #140 ipsos
Sounds like the newspaper industry in Alabama is pretty much collapsed. Is that correct?
With the latest round of showers we are now up to five thirds of an inch of rain.
We are creeping up to fifteen inches on the water year (began 1 Oct), which may be the highest for this part of the county since I’ve lived here.
This is the same playbook that the US used in Latin America and for the same reason: to the US, a friendly dictator is better than a hostile democracy. Or worse, a socialist nation.

Wingnuts are spreading a bulkshyte claim about Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-Ariz.) that she’s been “caught taking bribes from the Sinaloa Cartel.”
No that was Genaro García Luna, former top law enforcement official in the Fox and Calderón administrations. He was convicted of same this week.
