Posted on by — Leave a reply

I have been hesitant to add Bluesky to my itinerary. Why? Because various folks tell me it is full of  “nice people”…and well…I just don’t want to spend my time with” nice people.”  As far as I’m concerned it’s a bunch of “nice people” as a class, (nothing personal) afraid to lock and load, that has turned the US into a clown car of fascists, white Christian nationalists, queerphobics, misogynists, sexual deviants and predators, crooks, embezzlers, fraudsters, grifters, plastic surgery freaks. anti-science nuts, and overall incompetents who probably spent their high school years in detention.  All fronted by sleeve-snickering billionaires and foreign tyrants.

Pellecuer, now 46, is from Madagascar. Her mother died when she was 7 and she was adopted at age 10 by a white  couple in southern France. She does not say much about her adoptive parents, (despite what her “critics” claim)  but her relationship with them, or rather what they read into her statements, is what got them to run for their hoods and pitchforks  Things like: Continue Reading →

Within the last 6 weeks, Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc  Founder/CEO Monica Kelsey received awards for what these days passes for humanitarian service. That is, encouraging girls and women to conceal pregnancies, forego pre and post-natal care and safe delivery, and the dump and run anonymous “legalized” newborn-abandonment-by box-in-the-firehouse-wall schemes she is attempting  to sweep across the country.
