Former Aide: Trump Talked Openly About Executing People
Former President Donald Trump often openly talked about executing people during his presidency, according to a former staffer. Alyssa Farah Griffin, who worked as a communications director for the Trump administration, told Mediaite during a podcast appearance on Friday that Trump talking about executing his political enemies was not a one-time thing. “Trump straight up said a staffer who leaked a story should be executed,” Griffin recalled. “There were others where he talked about executing people,” Griffin added. Trump previously promised to bring back firing squads if he wins the presidential election in November, according to Rolling Stone. “As President Trump has said, the best revenge is the success and prosperity of all Americans,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek in reaction to Griffin’s comments.

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Multiple people were wounded in a shooting Saturday evening at a splash pad in the Detroit suburb of Rochester Hills, authorities said.
In a social media post, the Rochester Police Department reported an “active shooter situation” at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad at 1585 E. Auburn Rd. in which there were “multiple people injured.”
Authorities did not immediately confirm the number of people shot or their conditions. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office says they “potentially have the suspect contained nearby,” but asks that the public stay away from the area as it is still an active crime scene.
The Oakland County city of Rochester Hills is located about 25 miles north of Detroit.
Keeping with the “Battles” theme, Wife and I are back from the voter registration gig at the massed bands fundraiser. We went in with little information from the community service sponsor, and it was kind of cool. The bands (GA and FL) were surprisingly good, led off with a little Mozart. Then, at intermission, a old-school preacher took the wireless mic and a revival broke out. We didn’t get many registrations, but gave out a bunch of literature and got to talk GOTV with a hundred or so people. Picture to follow.

Like I said earlier I ran up to New York for gummies and gambling. On the way up I stopped at the Chautauqua Lake rest stop (I had posted a panoramic pic earlier in the year from there). One I took today while there of their solar array panels:
I then headed into Salamanca. Hit the Burger King for a Wopper Jr. sandwich. As I headed to my car I snapped this pic of a place called “Casino”, A nice looking place.
So after going across the street from Burger King to pick out my gummies I decided to explore this “Casino” place. They had nice murals on the windows.
So I go inside and find a nice slot machine, put in $40 and played, got nothing. So I stand up and go looking for a more hospitable machine. I find one, sit down and again put $40 in. Played a while, up and down with the winnings and losings. Was getting down to $12 or $10 in machine (last I looked I had $14 showing on credits and don’t remember if I hit on the next spin or the one after that. Was playing the max $2 a spin bet). Spun and it hit a double payout with 2 white 7’s. Racked up $89 on the machine. So I cashed out. So I spent either $68 or $70 to win $89. So whichever, I walked out a winner.
Was a good day.

Had an entertaining discussion with a Jesuit once where I took up the position that earth was, in fact, purgatory for a lifetime spent somewhere & when else and that the reincarnation religions are sort of right for those who don’t either do too bad or get it right. A good bottle of wine helped keep it friendly.

I’m so old I remember when the great priestly failing was booze.
One Sunday the priest read me out from the altar
Saying you’ll end up your days with your neck in a halter;
And you’ll dance a fine jig between heaven and hell
And his words they did fright me the truth for to tell
Singing ban-ya-na mo if an-ga-na
And the juice of the barley for me
So the very next morning as the dawn it did break
I went down to the vestry the pledge for to take,
And there in that room sat the priests in a bunch
Round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch

But you never had a judge rule you were possessed by demons. (While rando Christians have accused me of that before over my epilepsy, having it done in a court-of-law seemed really fuqued. No money to appeal, instant homelessness, and loss of visitation rights to my son.)
Paul Pressler, one of the architects of the “Conservative Resurgence” of the Southern Baptist Convention (aka one of the reasons why the SBC is in the shit trouble it’s in now) died on June 7. The news got out today, the day of his funeral.
Interestingly, I am pretty sure there were people at the Southern Baptist Convention meetings earlier this week who knew Pressler had died, but didn’t mention it. There’s a huge reason: Despite being one of the authors of the Conservative Resurgence, Pressler was a predator on young men. From the article:
His death came barely six months after he confidentially settled a high-profile lawsuit with a former member of his youth group who accused him of decades of rape. As part of the suit, at least six other men came forward alleging that they were abused or solicited for sex by Pressler in a string of incidents dating from 1978 to 2016. Pressler denied the allegations and was never criminally charged.
The only time I ever crossed paths with Pressler was in 1990, when a law school buddy clerking for an appellate judge died. We had to remain silent about the reason for his death (complications from AIDS) because Pressler was a well known preacher (even though he was a judge on the appellate court in Houston) and we didn’t want our friend to become fodder for his sermons. Remember, this was during the time when Evangelicals (mostly) made a point of saying that gay men needed to be rounded up and put into camps because of AIDS. He was at my classmate’s funeral.
He lived 34 years longer than Buddy. It should have been Buddy who got those years, not Paul Pressler.

So we have this child-raping asshat to thank for his roles in the elections of both Ronald Reagan and Ted Cruz, advised state AG Ken Paxton, and was on a (failed) Christian law school board along with (future) House Speaker Mike Johnson, Christofascist Tony Perkins, and professional Liar for Jesus ahsitorian David Barton; raping away while he was in the Texas House.
If he sincerely repented on his deathbed according to his theology, he’s forgiven and in Heaven. If one of his victims rejected their faith over this douchecanoe, they’d go to Hell. If they didn’t they get to pal around with their rapist for eternity singing hosannas to the Christian god.

Total with Social Security was 46 years. First at the Chicago Payment Center than Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare working SSI then Pennsylvania Department of Labor working Disability claims then Transamerica in Los Angeles working Medicare (at that time Medicare was part of Social Security) and the last 41 years and 11 months at the Los Angeles Teleservice Center. Started at the age of 21 just out of college and now hell I’m 68.
Linda Tirado, a photojournalist who was shot in the eye at close range by a Minneapolis cop during Black Lives Matter protests, is apparently dying. She already was facing sympathetic blindness before 50 because of how the other eye reacted to the traumatic injury.
(Background on Tirado’s injury: rubberbullets.longlead.com)
I was stunned to read on the hellsite that Tirado is dying by what seems to be inches, slowly, from dementia as a result of the traumatic brain injury she got from the rubber bullet in 2020. Apparently she’s on palliative care.
Also, the person who got my attention about this suggested that Tirado’s police shooter, who is known to the Minneapolis police, ought to be indicted for murder if/when she dies.

re: #91 mmmirele
Since police have qualified immunity to commit brutality, the only recourse is to sue a city to bankruptcy if it won’t take action against a police chief.
Politics ain’t beanbag, and if a mayor or city council is too spineless to act, well, it was the taxpayers who voted for them.
Lots of property owners in cities only understand financial pain.
Although Ms. Tirado’s case is much more severe, that’s what it took in the Dover School District intelligent design case. When the plaintiffs won, every single person in the school board and city council were voted out in the next election.

Married a guy and lived happily together in Napa for years….continued catering food events at wineries (if you’ve ever been to a vinyard dinner at J or Silver Oak or one of those other Sonoma/Napa vineyards where they set a long table between the grapes for 100 or so people, he was likely the chef who set the menu.) Worked out a deal with vinyards to harvest their olives and created his own olive oil brand. I have a few bottles in my cupboard.

Southlake megachurch pastor Robert Morris accused of sexual abuse in the 1980s
Morris is accused of sexually abusing Oklahoma woman when she was 12.Robert Morris, the senior pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, one of the largest churches in the country, has been accused by a woman of sexually abusing her when she was between the ages of 12 and 16.
The Oklahoma woman, now in her 50s, said Morris abused her on multiple occasions in the 1980s. The allegations, first publicized Friday in the religious watchdog blog Wartburg Watch, said the abuse happened in Oklahoma and Texas between 1982 and 1987.The Christian Post published a story Saturday about the allegations.

They justify their plagiarism theft “repreaching” by claiming the message (the sermon about God) is more important than the messenger (the preacher). I suppose that’s one way to get around the command against theft.
At Reddit’s r/Christianity, a person posed a question nine years ago about their suspicions their pastor had lifted wholesale one of Rev. Morris’s sermons. A bunch of pastors of all denominations weighed in to say that was quite common and expected.

I’ve got no skin in the game here other than seeing child rapists removed from harming others. Society should not be putting religious leaders on some sort of higher moral level because they are religious leaders. Respect is earned.
You know what’s not happening with this guy? No Christian church even in the local area has condemned his actions. They’re a lot like cops in that way.
He presented himself as a religious moral authority, so much so that other pastors did not have the discernment (Christian definition of being able to identify sin) to use an alleged child rapist’s preaching for at least a decade before this event.
I would note the complaint went up on r/Christianity, not r/FundieSnarkUncensored or r/Atheism.
It’s other Christians questioning the plagiarism.
A conservative might argue that he has a propensity toward escalating crimes (if he was Black).

The Independent in the United Kingdom ran an article on October 9, 2023 about additional fallout from Roe being struck down.
Even in putative liberal states like New York you’re not safe.
A woman diagnosed with cluster headaches was denied medication for them by a neurologist because she is of “childbearing age.”
A 32-year-old woman is suing an upstate New York health system and doctors, alleging that a neurologist refused to provide her treatment because she was of “childbearing age.”
According to the complaint, Tara Rule suffers from cluster headaches, and was seeking treatment from a neurologist at Glens Falls Hospital, which is owned by Albany Med Health Partners.
After her previous doctor retired, she was referred to Dr Jonathan Braiman, and sought treatment from him in September 2022. While at an appointment with Dr Braiman, Ms Rule was told that although there were “safe, effective treatments were available for cluster headaches,” he could not prescribe them due to her insurance not covering care that could cause potential birth defects.
Ms Rule then argued that she already takes medication — Cellcept — for another condition that has the potential to cause birth defects, and her insurance covers that prescription without issue. Dr Braiman then told Ms Rule that she was wrong, and that Cellcept does not wield those side effects. She pressed him to look up the side effects, which he read aloud at the appointment — in a conversation that was recorded.
He then asked the 32-year-old “what she would do in the event of a pregnancy,” the complaint stated. Ms Rule said she would have an abortion.

The physician then suggested she bring her male partner in to discuss this with him and her present so her partner knew all the risks. He also lied and said her insurance wouldn’t pay for a drug which can cause birth defects (it was already paying for the drug and many other drugs have that theoretical risk, for example every single epilepsy drug).
Under the Affordable Care Act, the Civil Rights Act, and New York state law it is against the law to refuse medical care on the basis of sex.
This has always been an inequity of healthcare (doctors and nurses concerned for hypothetical foetii) but this will only get worse with Roe being yeeted. (Oh come on, Firefox, “yeet” was in the dictionary and “Juneteenth” wasn’t?)
She was sent to the emergency room as her condition worsened. She live-streamed the encounter, which caused the hospital to give her the heave-ho onto the street without treatment.
It got worse after her partner posted a Google review about the treatment she got at the hospital.
Just looking through a search engine this hospital gets sued a lot for maltreatment of patients.
I’m not able to ascertain if the case was resolved yet.
This is a cavalcade of horrors. You ain’t safe in a blue state.
She told Jezebel she never wanted a lawsuit against the hospital. All she wanted was an apology.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) signed a controversial condominium bill Friday with no announcement. Condo owners are threatening to sue. (Yahoo! June 14, 2024)
The bill gives developers control over common areas of mixed-use condos.
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday quietly signed a controversial condominium bill into law that unit owners are already threatening to sue over if lawmakers don’t fix certain provisions next legislative session.
The 154-page bill, HB 1021, is largely about creating more accountability for condominium homeowner associations and managers. But tacked on late in the process this year were other provisions from a different bill that gave developers more control over common areas in mixed-use buildings where, for instance, residential units share the premises with a hotel. The bill will become law on July 1.
Mixed-used condominium buildings are becoming increasingly popular as retirees look to settle down in buildings run like resorts by prominent hotel brands, like The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour and the Carillon on Miami Beach.
Combining these commercial and residential developments has created unusual legal disputes over who controls what on the property.
Attorneys on behalf of developers argue that it is essential in mixed-use buildings for the developer and hotel owners to control common spaces like the lobby, the pool, the restaurants and the elevators because they need to make sure those areas are up to their standards.
Stevan Pardo, an attorney who represents condominium unit owners in high-profile cases like the Miami Beach Carillon dispute — where for years residents and the owner of the hotel and spa have battled in court over who owns common areas — disagrees that developers would keep better care of the property than the condo association, saying the associations more personally invested in the property but they often delegate the management of it to licensed professional organizations.
“Imagine you’re living in a condominium building and all you own is the air rights of your unit. You don’t own your front door. You have no rights to have ownership or control or maintenance of your lobbies, your elevators, your hallways, none of that. That’s all controlled by a developer, and they could control it forever,” Pardo said. “It doesn’t make any sense.”
Pardo also said he believes the bill could apply much more broadly to even purely residential buildings, giving developers control of everything except for the condo units themselves.

‘Who says romance is dead?’: Right-wing influencers launch campaign to ‘outbreed the left’
“It’s a lovely turn of phrase.”
Far-right figures Chaya Raichik and Charlie Kirk both said they plan to “outbreed the left” this week by having more children than liberals and raising them to have right-wing views.
Both of their statements are being memed online.
Raichik runs the anti-LGBTQ X account @LibsOfTikTok, which doxes left-wing educators and individuals. Her tweets have been linked to more than 20 bomb threats at schools. Kirk is the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative organization with chapters at high schools and colleges nationwide.
Last weekend, Kirk hosted his organization’s Young Women’s Leadership Summit. On Sunday, he tweeted a video of mothers who attended the event.
“We’re going to win either now or later,” Kirk tweeted, “when we outbreed the left!”
Apartheid Clyde then signal-boosted Ms. Raichik’s tweet to his millions of fanbois about the lack of children being born to be enslaved by capitalists like him.

Elon Musk says a Tesla sports car is finally coming next year — and it’s a SpaceX collaboration
He has been promising this for years. Now he says in 2025. But the details of the SpaceX option are interesting. He claims it will do 0-60 in less than a second - equivalent to about 3g. So you would feel like you weigh 3 times your weight. I wonder how many people will suffer bodily damge when subjected to this force for too long?
It will have 10 rocket thrusters to control acceleration, deceleration and avoidance (ie, if the Ai determines that the car is heading towards a lamp post, the thrusters would fire to move the car sideways to avoid).
I say this will never see the light of day. But if you want, you can reserve one now.

While religious organizations do not pay corporate taxes, any individual still pays income taxes if they are self-employed or salaried.

The problem with US law is that any church can have a parsonage… and that church can be controlled by the person living in the parsonage.
The founders lived in a time when churches were either run by the elders, or were Catholic (possibly Orthodox though they were few at that time.)
The idea that any person could be a “church” by themselves is a modern invention.
Even the Friends (Quakers) who did not have the elaborate church hierarchy still had the local congregations run by elders.
Independent anabaptist groups would be formed as groups of elders.
Of course there were itinerant preachers, but they obviously did not have property and lived off of whatever donations they recieved.
Modern US Christendom is rather strange compared to traditional practices.

I’d wish the churches got the same treatment as a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit.* Which means their income needs to be reported. And the IRS also gets mildly upset if said corporation is making most of their income via investments and not dues and contributions.
In a few states the charity is allowed to own a limited amount of property tax free. As in limited size *and* value.
Basic rules like these could easily be adjusted to fit churches which want to have a parsonage or run a seminary. And if the church is spending its money in non-charitable ways or counter to their declared purpose the IRS already has regulations in place on dealing with that.
* - Caveat. Based on my learned knowledge while on the board of a 501(c)(3) about twenty years ago. Indiana actually had laws allowing fraternal organizations to own property tax-free, which is one reason so many of them have their headquarters in Indiana.

This year’s Tonys will feature performances from the casts of “Stereophonic,” “Cabaret,” “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Illinoise,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” “Suffs,” “The Outsiders,” “The Who’s Tommy” and “Water for Elephants.” “Our show is going to move like a Broadway show.

I haven’t seen most of these shows yet, but “Hell’s Kitchen” is the Alicia Keyes thing and I’ve seen clips of one of the numbers, the dancing is amazing. And I’m assuming the Tommy performance is “Pinball Wizard”, which was freakin awesome.

I have no idea. There used to be a simple plastic carrier on the bottles. All it took was a few well placed cuts and the carrier was off.
Because people didn’t cut them, they just tossed them. Birds and squirrels got their heads caught in the rings or their feet tangled up…
Finally made it to Michigan…just for a short visit. Perfect weather the past couple days but heat wave expected to begin tomorrow. The Delta flight was nonstop and took only 4 hours. For a long time prior my plans were to drive here instead. VB’s recent move to Florida where she mentioned her preference was to drive to Florida really hit home with me as for a long time that’s the way I felt in planning this visit which has been in the planning stage about 5yrs.

Vicious Babushka remembers all her kids names (9 of them), and the grandkids too (dozens of them). (at least I think she does; maybe she has to double-check and sometimes edit posts when she writes about them).
Fortunately for me, there are a lot of duplicate names as each family names their kids after the same relatives.

On our road in KY, the April ‘74 tornadoes injured a neighbor. When he was being assessed at the hospital the neurologist asked if he remembered the names and birthdays of his grandkids.
Neighbor: “I can remember their names, but not all the birthdays.”
Doc: “How many do you have?”
Neighbor: “50.”
Every kid on the schoolbus that went by our house was his grandkid. Sadly, a 2 yr-old was killed by hail from the storm.

I was around on the James Randi forum when this happened. One of the regulars there went to that conference and returned saying Michael Shermer assaulted her. Then other women came forward. This was around the same time as Rebecca Watson ran into “elevatorgate” for simply telling men not to be creepy on elevators with women at skeptic conferences. My point is that after being yeeted out of the “polite skeptic societies,” Shermer went the predictable route and made common cause with the bigots.
Just finished watching Host. That’s actually really well done, and only about an hour long so it doesn’t outlive its usefulness, so to speak. My dad never believed in a formal order of spirits, like a literal devil, but he did always caution against shit like ouija boards and seances, just on the converse Pascalean wager that our own certainty about something sometimes isn’t worth the risk of being wrong.

I’m not a fan of the phrase “credibly accused,” in Michael Shermer’s case “an anonymous blog post at Pharyngula, which was resurfaced by a student newspaper two years later.
The post stated the police were involved in an investigation of Michael Shermer (they were not).
My understanding of “believe all women” was included the phrase “but not uncritically.”
In Pharyngula, PZ Meyers wrote at the time:
I can do no other. I will again emphasize, though, that I have no personal, direct evidence that the event occurred as described (my emphasis here); all I can say is that the author is known to me, and she has also been vouched for by one other person I trust. The author is not threatening her putative assailant with any action, but is solely concerned that other women be aware of his behavior. The only reason she has given me this information is that she has no other way to act.

Oops, something got cut off there.
What Do You Do When Someone Pulls the Pin and Hands You A Grenade? (PZ Meyers, Pharyngula at Freethought Blogs, August 8, 2013)
Shermer wrote a cease-and-desist letter to both PZ Meyers and the student ‘zine.
The adjunct professor (a fellow named Mark McIntyre) who invited Shermer was hit by four Title IX complaints alleging harassment. He was fired by the college before that complaints were investigated, ultimately finding no wrongdoing regarding an E-mail he sent. He sued the college alleging political retaliation and won his job back (he has since retired).
Notice all of this was alleged at the time. The only thing that went to court was the adjunct professor’s case which was resolved in his favour. Everything else played out across blogs and a student ‘zine.
PZ Meyers is one of the so-called New Atheists which Christians love bashing (unless they can find a blog post to go after a more prominent atheist such as Shermer).

re: #207 Belafon
So today’s oglaf.com is NSFW and hilarious and I wish I had meatspace friends to share it with.
And do “meet” and “meat” do to your brain what “there”, “their” and “they’re” do?, because it’s definitely a pause and think about how to spell those for me. Also, I’m beginning to more and more like the concept for Spanish where ! and ? are used to mark the part of a sentence that is the question, and not that the whole sentence is a question.
There are several women I am tempted to share that with. One I am currently with, one I was with once upon a time in high school (gah, 42 years since graduation????) and one I would like to be with (ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies… 😱). Rather Dr Who-ish… 😈
re: #110 William Lewis
Yeah. So? The Anglican church actually had books of approved sermons to be used if you don’t have time or some one was on vacation or etc.
That’s *not* the expectation among Evangelicals. It is expected, and preachers often lead off their sermons with “It took me a long time (or “hours” or “lots of research”) to put this together.” However, if a particular preacher, like Robert Morris, is brought in, he may be there to preach a sermon he’s given before that was well-received. Or, in the case of Morris, proven to open up the wallets of the “giving units.” But it’s still expected to have been written by him.
Nevertheless, Evangelical pastors steal sermons from each other all the time. It’s a big open secret.

Nothing like the Cole Slaw from The Pantry!
Sometimes I just get it with their toasted sourdough and coffee
The Pantry Cole Slaw recipe!
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/3 cup oil
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon celery salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 head cabbage, finely shredded
Blend together mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and oil. Add garlic and onion powders, mustard, celery salt, pepper, lemon juice, half-and-half, and salt. Stir until smooth.
Pour dressing over cabbage in large bowl and toss until cabbage is well coated.
Let it set in the fridge for at least 1/2 hour.

I’m just a third-party who can only see how this played out in blogs. She did go public about it in Buzzfeed later (I read the article; Buzzfeed asserted Shermer was the leader of the Freethought Movement, which seems a bit of a stretch to me). Most of that article actually spends its time highlighting the differences between libertarians and progressives who are .
Atheist blogger Adam Lee wrote about it at Patheos at the time (Patheos kicked off all the atheists from their site later claiming they were all too political so the blog post is unavailable now) defending the woman in question.
The only formal complaint filed in any of this was against the adjunct professor during the Obama Administration, resolved in his favour (it was found the college engaged in political retaliation).
Since I don’t know any of these people and they’re blissfully unaware of me, I can’t say whether any of them are credible or not.

True. However, his blog post linked above was in 2013.
New Atheism to me at the time seemed to me trying to be belligerent for belligerency’s sake. Like so-called Atheism+, they tried to tack things on to atheism which it isn’t.
As for the so-called Horsemen, Sam Harris is and Christopher Hitchens was neo-cons, Richard Dawkins is a misogynistic and transphobic dique, and Daniel Dennett was the least acerbic but is dead.

Huh. Shared all over the place where I come from so to me its no big deal. Like I said, books of sermons and no one was expected to like, actually, be good at it.
That’s because liturgical churches are more centered around the “mass” portion of the service. Evangelical churches tack on communion as an afterthought, only occasionally, or you can pick up the elements in the foyer before or after the service and “do it yourself.” For Evangelical churches, the preaching is the centerpiece of the service. And because they put so much emphasis on the preaching, there is far more gatekeeping around who can do the preaching. Which is why you have denominations like the Southern Baptists yeeting out churches with women pastors, because only men are supposed to really be preaching.
But then of course, it’s quite OK to cover up for pastor perverts like Robert Morris, because he’s “saved” so many. Blargh.
