Is Gaetz as powerful as he THINKS he is? Or as dumb as we KNOW he is?

Can he really oust McCarthy? Or is it all just bluster from someone who should not even be a representative of the people?

Let this sink in. In AMERICA, women are being denied health care. In America,

ONLY women can be sent to prison for acquiring health care. It truly boggles the mind that we live in a country that will incarcerate a person for being female and wanting health care.
And even worse, AMERICANS will continue to vote for those who enact these INSANE laws. GOTV people.




Yes, I know providers can be male and that they too can be jailed for providing health care. You get my point.

Has anyone ever used Turo car rental?

What were your impressions? I'm so tired of renting a car and NEVER getting my choice of vehicle.

Football has become unwatchable.

Five minutes of football and 10 minutes of commercials.
I may be exaggerating a small bit, but not much. And, I'm on a streaming service so it's not like I can just change channels for a few minutes while the interminable ads are running.

Just an update on wifey.

I brought her home from Birmingham on Friday. She has progressed enough from her bone marrow transplant to come home. She is FAR from being well, but her progress is tremendous. Her numbers are up. She will still have to do some oral chemo and we will have to visit B'ham more often than I would wish, but at least she is home.
Thank you so much for everyone who sent their well wishes our way. It's been a long road, and we are still traveling, but we WILL make it.

THIS, among a long list of contenders, is the supidest thing you will see today.

The world’s top chess federation has ruled that transgender women cannot compete in its official events for females until an assessment of gender change is made by its officials.

FIDE said it and its member federations increasingly have received recognition requests from players who identify as transgender, and that the participation of transgender women would depend on an analysis of individual cases that could take up to two years.

“Change of gender is a change that has a significant impact on a player’s status and future eligibility to tournaments, therefore it can only be made if there is a relevant proof of the change provided,” the federation said.

“In the event that the gender was changed from a male to a female the player has no right to participate in official FIDE events for women until further FIDE’s decision is made,” it said.
Holders of women’s titles who change their genders to male would see those titles “abolished,” the federation said, while holding out the possibility of a reinstatement “if the person changes the gender back to a woman.”

“If a player has changed the gender from a man into a woman, all the previous titles remain eligible,” the federation said.


I am speechless. OMFG, how stupid can you be?
