Diaper Donnie the Defendant

Just another nickname for the slob father.

The babies are just the future slaves

I have thought this for a long time now. Capitalism (Queen ant) needs worker ants. That is all most citizens are!

Since the pandemic caused people to die or otherwise drop out of the work force the Queen ant needs to make sure she has enough workers. So the focus now is on children.

And to keep the kogs going and to keep wage pressures down the Queen needs babies born into poverty so they will grow up and just be grateful for any pittance of a job to survive. Thus the abortion bans!

Lastly, paying the lowest wage possible is cheaper to them than slavery. If they owned the people outright they would have to keep their human livestock healthy, feed them, clothe them and shelter them. This would be expensive!!!

The Trans Issue

Hi everyone. I was hoping I could get some of you research sleuths to weigh in on something.

My SIL is falling for the whole trans children treatment issue and laws being attempted by the extreme right about this issue.

He has sent me various YouTube videos and articles which make these claims (which I would like to refute):

1. Liberals are using kids as Guinea pigs and parents with purported trans kids are taking them to corrupt doctors and medically castrating their children and giving them mastectomies…

2. There aren’t really many trans or gay children. The kids are being brainwashed and being confused on purpose.

3. The research that shows that gay and trans children are susceptible to suicide is “disinformation”.

I can spend all week trying to research to refute these three main points but I am taking care of my mom who has advanced liver cancer and diabetes and I just don’t have the energy.

So if anyone has already done this type of research or could point me to a non partisan paper or something I could send him I would so greatly appreciate it.

My mom the MAGA!

I have posted here about how I am caring for my mother who has liver cancer. She has been a religious fanatic my entire life and spent her entire life waiting for Revelations to happen. Now she is sick with terminal cancer and if she lives six months it will be a shock to everyone, especially her doctors at City of Hope.

My mom is the sweetest kindest person you could ever meet. There has never been anyone who doesn’t meet her and fall in love with her sweet charming ways.

But underneath all that sweet, kind and loving persona there has always been a cognitive dissonance caused by her extreme Catholicism. Case in point: up until recently she complained about the current pope because he’s too liberal in her view. How dare he talk about not judging gays. How dare he not talk about going to hell! We were all brought up in such an extremely religious environment that when I say I am a recovering Catholic, I REALLY REALLY mean it.

Well mom fell in love with Trump from the second he said President Obama was not a citizen. She believed Michelle Obama was a closeted transgender man named Michael. She believes Nancy Pelosi is a witch who should be burned at the stake. (Not literally but you get the picture)!!

She has been a Trumper for 7 years! Until yesterday!!! Something came up with my husband about Trump and his MAGA-cards and mom made a disapproving face. I looked at her and said, “Mom! That’s YOUR GUY! You voted for him TWICE!” And she said, “Well people change their minds!”

I was in shock!!! I asked her what will she do if she makes it to the next election. Surprise surprise … NOT! She is now in love with DeSantis! But of course she is! 🤦🏽‍♀️

I normally don’t engage but I had to know! Whyyyy!!! She said he practices what he preaches! To which I responded: don’t forget the Germans voted for Hitler and he practiced what he preached to the point of murder!

My poor mom! I think she lost sleep over that comment!

Mom fell and broke five ribs!

Earlier I had posted about mom coming for a visit from Costa Rica. She’s 76 and has cirrhosis from diabetes.

Well she blew her diabetic diet, got stopped up, ammonia went into her brain and she lost her balance and fell and broke five ribs. I had set up a baby monitor so she could call me if she had to get up in the middle of the night. But she did not want to bug and tried to do it on her own. So so sad!!! And I feel horrible!!!

Poor little thing is so tough. She was trying not to be a bother instead of asking for help. She was in the hospital for six days and I now managed to get her in a skilled nursing facility. She only gets $590 per month social security. But she didn’t have a supplemental health plan so she’s gonna owe 20% of her medical fees.

I’m trying to get her medical and Medicaid in California but they ask for our income since she’s staying here. I don’t know how to avoid this. I don’t want her to be in all this debt.

Does anyone have any advice on how to manage the system so that they count her as her own household. She doesn’t live with me full time. She was here for a visit and fell and now will likely be here much longer.

Oh and to make matters worse they found a 5.5 cm lesion on her liver which was biopsied Monday. Waiting for results.

Poor sweet little thing. She doesn’t deserve this!!!

Release unredacted Mueller report!!

Trump ordered the Crossfire Hurricane report unclassified. Why didn’t he also declassify the Mueller report? What did he want to hide?

Meals on Wheels???

Hi everyone. My diabetic mom is coming to stay with us for six weeks from Costa Rica. She is 77 years old and has so many health issues it’s hard to understand them all. Most of her medicines are covered in Costa Rica and she is bringing those and we will buy what we have to buy here.

She is on a super restrictive diet. And she has to eat her three meals a day plus her snacks. Since our family doesn’t share her diet and in order for me not to have to shop and cook two meals for each meal period we thought we might look at Meals on Wheels.

But when I Google them in our area it takes me to only donation sites. Does anyone know of a service like meals on wheels or how I can investigate how to get mom set up?

Appreciate all your help!
