DON'T Recall Governor Newsom

We OPPOSE the Republican Campaign to Replace Governor Newsom

Sunday, May 9th, 2021 @ 8:00 pm PDT It’s possible that you think the coup ended unsuccessfully on January 6th. If you think that, you are incorrect. The nationwide coup attempts continue in various ways. Everyone knows what’s going on with voter restriction laws passed by Republicans in many states. These efforts to illegally take away your right to vote so that Republicans can seize political control are nothing less than an organized coup attempt. Here’s another example: the attempt to recall Governor Newsom in California. From the CalMatters video [right sidebar], “It began as a right-wing effort to oust a blue state governor for being too progressive.” And that’s what it still is. So if you’re “relaxed" and able to "sleep well" now that January 6th is over and you’re thinking everything is fine, I’m sorry to inform you that you cannot relax, you can't sleep well, and not everything is just fine. It’s true they [you-know-who] did not succeed on January 6th but they continue to make every effort to do [you-know-what]. We’re not out of the woods yet. Don't let your guard down.

Weekend (May 7th-9th) Summary

Monday, May 10th, 2021 @ 9:00 am PDT It was just another typical weekend in the USA.

Has This Ever Happened To You?

Monday, May 10th, 2021 @ 10:00 pm PST Have you ever agreed with someone but for completely different reasons? And the reasons are so diametrically opposed you have to disagree with them even though you seemingly agree? Here’s an example:

The Republicans and I (maybe you too?) actually agree that, um, “government” and many American institutions don’t seem to be working. The Republicans believe - well, you know what they believe… Hillary, pizza joints, rigged elections, the deep state, the swamp, Socialists, minorities, immigrants, etc. are to blame for our broken government and they have proposed and implemented some ideas/actions on what they feel needs to be done (e.g., insurrection, attempted coups and assassinations, treason, chaos, stopping the vote, lying, Kraken, QAnon, etc.). On the other hand, I believe our governmental systems and institutions have been broken over a long period of time for many complex reasons and I too have some ideas on what could be done to help (such as rebuilding the infrastructure, improving healthcare for all, allowing voting access for all, protecting the civil rights of all humans, etc.). So even though the Republicans and I (you too?) seem to agree the government is broken, we quite obviously are in complete disagreement on the cause(s) and the fix(es). So I guess, even though we, um, agree, we will continue to disagree, eh? Has this ever happened to you?

Memorial Day Weekend (May 28-31st) Summary

Tuesday, May 25th, 2021 @ 5:00 pm PDT Please, just stop saying you or your child has Aspergers Syndrome. There is no such thing. It was an invented condition and then it was disinvented. If you would like to identify as mildly autistic, fine, just stop it with the Aspergers stuff. Thank you!

"I know my dear Donald has made a couple mistakes through the years but I can never leave him - I will always remain loyal no matter what. I dream of him every night - he comes to me and talks with me and tells me everything I need to know. He promised me he would be president again in 2024 if I continue to solemnly pray for our cause and donate at www.donaldtrump2024.com You can call it a man-crush if you want but i love him so much. He's just so sexy. Damn those Democrats. My question is, how can I ever cope until 2024? What should I do?"

"Just continue praying and sending him money. That'll get you through the next three years."

Any opinions expressed are opinions only and are not necessarily approved or endorsed by, um, anyone else, including the XP Blog Editor. On the other hand, any facts expressed or implied are indeed, facts. Just as is true for everything else in this world, you get to decide what you believe is opinion, what is fact, what is research based, and if and how they may or may not all fit together, but a fact is still a fact. Please note that just because something is research based doesn't necessarily make it a fact; and not all facts are research based. Some opinions are factual and research based. Some opinions are not facts, yet are still research based. Just because something is research based does not necessarily make it factual or ethical. Some facts are facts for some but seemingly not for others, yet a fact is still a fact; the same concept holds true for opinions and research. The same can be said for humor, satire, parody, and serious statements. Some opinions are just opinions. Ultimately, free speech is protected by the first amendment and one thing is always certain... Everything Is.

Photo Of The Month

Republican With A Gun

I'll give credit for this photo when I find out who I should give credit to; I found it on the web several years ago. I think this graphic was from a Broadway show from several years back. If you keep giving them guns, what will they do, what will they do? I think we know.
