Images of "Enola Gay," the aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan are among those targeted by the U.S. military in an initiative to eliminate content related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
They are among a number of photos unrelated to DEI that have been mistakenly flagged, including those from an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California, seemingly because an engineer in the image had the last name "Gay."

Just how stupid is this regime?
Nancy Mace wants to censure Robert Garcia
Macy Mace office sent a survey to which I used as a reason to respond to her:
Legislation will soon be introduced to censure Congressman Garcia for this dangerous rhetoric. Reckless language from public officials must not go unchecked. Civility and respect should guide every debate in Congress.
YOUR INPUT IS NEEDED
Should Congressman Garcia be censured for his comments?
Yes
No
Unsure
Taking this survey will sign you up for future news and updates from my office.
Accountability in government matters. Every voice shapes the decisions made in Congress.
Sincerely,
Rep. Nancy Mace signature

My response
Since you contacted me with a question which is a ridiculous question by the way, I have a couple for you.
Why has Congress given up their power to an immigrant who was unelected and unconfirmed through any congressional process?
If there is all this corruption in government, why not use legal procedures to root it out instead of indiscriminately firing mass numbers with no evidence presented as to the presence of fraud.?
The only answer can be that you are complicit with this illegal process. It appears that way!
Also, I want to know, what is Elon doing with my data?
Honestly, I didn’t even know Garcia insulted the snowflakes, but if he did, I approve.
He is sanctioning the International Court
USA: Sanctions against International Criminal Court betray international justice system
In response to the executive order announced today by President Trump imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, said:
“This reckless action sends the message that Israel is above the law and the universal principles of international justice. It suggests that President Trump endorses the Israeli government’s crimes and is embracing impunity.
“Today’s executive order is vindictive. It is aggressive. It is a brutal step that seeks to undermine and destroy what the international community has painstakingly constructed over decades, if not centuries: global rules that are applicable to everyone and aim to deliver justice for all. The sanctions constitute another betrayal of our common humanity.

How blood insane will things get?
Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?'
THIS WAS ON A MY FACEBOOK FEED: An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’ I found it interesting
THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:

That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!" (https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story)
That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-criticized-after-he-appears-mock-reporter-serge-kovaleski-n470016)

That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. (https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/democracy/reports/2018/06/04/451570/confronting-cost-trumps-corruption-american-families/)
What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me...charitable.
Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.
Flags will be at half staff on Inauguration Day.
The flag should fly at half-staff for 30 days at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possessions after the death of the president or a former president.
PBS Newshour just equated the MSG hate rally to Nazis
Very good segment pointing out the fascism and the projection coming from the trump regime.
Thank you PBS, hope it is not too late!
Voter turnout, does it mean anything for Democrats?
I always felt and said, if every eligible voter would vote, republicans would never win.
Here is an article about voter turnout helping one party.
Does High Voter Turnout Help One Party?

I voted today
Early voting in South Carolina.
Polls opened at 8:30.
I arrived at the polling location at 7:45 thinking I would be right up front. WRONG!
Once the polls opened, I had a 30 minute wait to get into the building.
Vote BLUE!
