Sandbox – 5dec22

[Much appreciation for the concern shown by commenters to our pace of Covid recovery.  We have discovered for ourselves that all the stories about how it drains you of energy, and the time it takes to get back to normal are true in spades.  We felt the symptoms and tested positive on 21 November and got over the low point three days later.  But since then it’s been a real drag – every chore that requires moving your butt drains you.  Yesterday morning we did a big grocery shopping which laid us low.  Afternoon nappy-poos are a must.  This morning I tried a turn on the treadmill at half speed; could only last 15 minutes.  But we do sense that day by day we’re getting better; if we could only pick up the pace a little.  gjr]

What Punchy fails to take into account is that Loving v. Virginia, which found the state had no say as to the DNA one chooses to mingle is not the government's business, was settled 9 to nuthin' by the Supremes in the '60's.

9-0, six decades ago. That is settled settled law. The law Punchy is celebrating is grandstanding, pure and simple. Not a single state is going to be affected by it, as opposed to Loving v., which changed all the former Confederate states which still had anti-miscegenation statutes, including one of the last states to accept the end of slavery... Delaware.

What is the "sin" of being and living together and not being married? Is that some kind of Christian thing? If so why inflict it on someone not of that spiritual persuasion? Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion in case you don't understand our Constitution.

Paul Emery @ 11:57 am

I love it when your fall over those neatly placed trip wires and do the ole faceplant in the mud.

Mr. Emery, your topic this morning is the codification of marriage, passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law my a sitting President. Defense of Marriage Act or something, with couple of poison bills dropped in for faith based adoption agencies…unless the Senate took the, out along with making it a crime to announce opposition to same sex marriages. Like, no free speech.

Tell you the truth, I have not followed the Act since it was in rough form in the House and still a work in process. Not interested in it, does not grab my attention. Never knew there was some inter-racial marriage bans going on in any state. Now we all can get divorce lawyers….independent of race, creed, national origin, sex, gender, cult…..
So, what is new except to codify?

Paul, the topic you are so pleased about morning is Marriage. Marriage. Bobby and Debbie sitting in a tree, k-I-s-s-i-n-g. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes little Punchy in a baby carriage.

Hey, if you want to shack up and play house, that’s up to you. Two incomes can pay the rent better than one. Live together, shack up, live in sin outside of marriage, why buy the cow when the milk is free….ain’t nobody stopping ya. Sorry if my words bother ya. If if
said words bothered you that much, make a honest woman (or guy) out of her. Or, just break off a dandelion stem, wrap it around their finger, and say until death do us part. California is common law State.

Then there is the medical issues to consider if you ain’t madly in love. Say she is on Medicaid. Pays all her health insurance. You get married and you can’t afford to cover her health insurance, unless you are working for a good company with good bennies. So, if you do not marry, then let Uncle State foot her bill.

But if you love her, then all that don’t matter. Love will find a way. I am a romantic at heart.
Love is blind, marriage is an institution, therefore marriage is an institution of the blind.

Fornicate to your heart’s desire. Let’s Shag. Shack up. Who knows, she probably has a place, a car, and a bank account. Some guys are quick studies and find that important stuff out in the first 3 minutes of meeting her. It’s a hook up culture anyway, been that way for awhile. Be it far from me to judge folks living in sin, outside of the blue D’s of Holy Matrimony.

Geeze Louise Punch, for a Lefty morally outraged Puritan you are slipping, man. Women like the security, women like to nest. Women like to introduce their guys to people as, “My husband.” Men are such beasts. Then again, some women friends of yours may look at some guy they shacked up with after playing house for a spell and say, “This is not the guy I want to marry.” Lol. Rolling stone gathers no moss.

Don’t expect me to condone your behavior. Tolerate? Yes. Condone, then celebrate? Nah.

Remember when Trump had those bikers at the WH with unclad ladies on their vests? Why, I never!

Later, prude.

J. K. Rowling’s Female-Only Shelter
As Scotland’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon continues to push to enshrine gender self-identification in law, Scotland is set to become a difficult place to access women-only spaces and services.

J. K. Rowling, the billionaire author of the Harry Potter series, has already signaled her disapproval by wearing a T-shirt displaying the message, “Nicola Sturgeon, destroyer of women’s rights.” Now, just days before Sturgeon’s law is set to pass, Rowling has announced the launch of a support and advocacy service for victims of sexual violence. Beira’s Place, in Edinburgh, is personally funded by Rowling and will remain female only.

"Brilliant display by Rep. @NancyMace! The people who say violent rhetoric on social media is a threat to democracy and then promote violent rhetoric themselves need to be held accountable and their hypocrisy displayed for the world to see," Canary CEO Dan Eberhart tweeted.

Conservative radio host Tony Bruno wrote, "This was so perfectly set up by @NancyMace to deliver the knockout blow to the entire panel of hypocrites. Brilliance!"

She asked all the witnesses whether they consider violent rhetoric against government officials on social media to be a "threat to democracy."

When trans woman Caraballo, known as @Esqueer_ on Twitter, answered in the affirmative, Mace pointed out Caraballo’s own violent rhetoric against Supreme Court justices after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Mace displayed a poster board with Caraballo's June 25 tweet, which read, "The 6 justices who overturned Roe should never know peace again. It is our civic duty to accost them every time they are in public. They are pariahs. Since women don’t have their rights, these justices should never have a peaceful moment in public again."

I think there is some language in there to redefine sex and include the 72 genders. It was all grandstanding not for same sex marriage or interracial marriage, not for the LGB community, but for the TAA+QRSUWYXZz community. Why else were drag queens invited to the signing? Drag Queens can get married so it does not help nor hurt them. Why, why, why?

Grandstanding. It was all grandstanding for the Trannies and non-binaries. At least with lesbians we know who the husband is and who is the wife….who the butch one is and who is the princess. Guess non-binaries types like Sam Brinton, who is free to marry anyone of age, needed some language protection, lol.

ANOTHER CRASH AT THE INTERSECTIONALITY

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/12/another-crash-at-the-intersectionality.php

Interesting footnote to the Rodney King beating. The place where King’s car was stopped in the Sun Valley-Pacoima area was the only place in LA where Blacks and Hispanic gangs ran together. Other than that area, blacks and Mexicans had little to do with each other.

Blacks are higher on the woke pecking order, but Hispanics are muscling them out. Bad 🩸. And the gays pushed out the Mexicans by buying up the neighbors. More bad blood.

Governor Kristi Noem (you go girl) was the first Governor to ban TikTok on state devices. Now there are 5 governors who did the same. And remember, TikTok is the preferred platform our our educators…

“Governor South Dakota will have no part in the intelligence gathering operations of nations who hate us,” Gov. Kristi Noem said in a press release. “The Chinese Communist Party uses information that it gathers on TikTok to manipulate the American people, and they gather data off the devices that access the platform.”

The order goes into effect immediately.”

‘Transgender Student Charged For Alleged Violent Assault Of Two Girls In School Bathroom’

“The trans-identifying student, a biological male, reportedly approached one of the girls in the bathroom while she was speaking with friends and attempted to talk to her, but she ignored him. He then became angry and approached her with balled fists, asking if she “wanted to fight,” according to the report.
The student then allegedly hit the female victim in the face, pulled her hair, and forced her to the ground where he kicked her in the face and punched her repeatedly. The girl indicated to police that the attack was forceful enough to prevent her from fighting back.”

Every Black Resident of California Should Get $350,000, Says Black Businessman

Twenty acres and a mule or…..

He also believes that black businesses should get a $250,000 grant and 15-20 acres of land.

“It’s a debt that’s owed, we worked for free … we’re not asking; we’re telling you,” he told the panel, the Daily Mail reported. “The tangibles of what I’m asking for is $350,000 per black American in California — that’s tangible, small business grant $250,000, and land 15-20 acres.”

I daresay that the value of “15-20 acres” varies wildly depending on where the acreage is. Who gets the beachfront property and who gets Death Valley?

re BillT 1249pm - Where, oh where is our auto-moralized PaulE, the self-assigned herald of presidential lies? As liars, Barack was world-class, but still just a warm-up act for Bumblebrain. Biden, hands down, is the most voluminous, audacious, and unabashed liar to ever have lived in the White House. Substantial lies from his lips and over his name get issued daily from the administration, and have been so dispersed for two years now. And where has PaulE been on all this? Focused on Trump claiming Mexicans will pay for the wall, and little else. Yet we welcome his lopsided commentaries as continued evidence of leftwing character displayed in public discourse.
