Thinking of brown skinned immigrants desperately fleeing for their lives
Particularly one couple I read about, trying to protect their baby
Glad for the 2000 year gap: the Holy family did not encounter the more conservative, anti-immigrant, of my brothers and sisters in Christ

Brown Skinned Immigrants
Chauvin, Fox, Shootings, Asian Attacks, Passports, Gaetz Who, Pesky Voters
- The annual celebration is upon us, but toxic attitudes among conservative Christians toward immigrants with brown skin are year-around.
Or that they were refugees fleeing for their lives, refugees who were not turned away by the Egyptian government.
No record of the baby being taken from his parents.

Thank God the Holy family did not encounter some of my brothers and sisters in Christ. - PZ Myers briefly summarizes the arguments in the trial of Officer Derek Chauvin, who killed George Floyd by kneeling on his neck. The arguments in Chauvin’s favor so far are foolish, silly, self-defeating, bigoted, far-fetched, and a long, long distance from being a coherent defense. So it’s safe to say they just might work.
- At The Onion, the Chauvin defense team praises the officer’s restraint in not killing bystanders.
- News Corpse speculates on the reluctance of the Fox network to provide full coverage of the Derek Chauvin murder trial.
- Nan’s Notebook reviews horrible death by gunfire and is frustrated by thoughts and prayers.
- nojo contemplates the nation’s mass shootings and remembers one noticeable American incident from half a century ago that did not happen in this hemisphere. Those of us born in the Truman administration will remember the horror.
- Tommy Christopher reacts as others react as Lindsey Graham reacts to the death and carnage of recent mass shootings with a video of himself shooting an assault rifle.
In 1994, there was an Assault Weapons Ban β the evidence indicates that there was really no change at all in crime, because the crooks are going to get a gun!
Today at @PalmettoArmory I fired one of the weapons they are trying to ban. #2A pic.twitter.com/XI985BZ96F

So Lindsey, how are those sensitivity sessions going?

Suppression, Sydney, Fox, Trump Riots, Ron Johnson, DeJoy, Racism, Guns
- Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged explores the defamation defense of Trumper Sydney Powell: that no reasonable person would have believed her accusations about vote stealing during the 2020 election in which Joe Biden was the winner and Donald Trump was the loser.
We all know I am not well versed in legalities. But even I know that the only perfect defense against defamation is proof that the so-called “defamation” is actually true. Sydney has claimed to have that proof in hand. She can show beyond any doubt that Dominion’s machines flipped votes from Trump to Biden. So all she needs to do is present that proof in court, and the lawsuit against her goes away.
Instantly.
Instead, she goes with the second best defense. Anyone who believed me would have to have been an absolute fool.
By the way, when I pointed that out on Twitter, one noted Tweeter blocked me.
Tee Hee.
Imagine. Big Bold bellicose Joseph J. Flynn, fierce brother of recently pardoned General Michael Flynn, deathly afraid of a frail, elderly, Missouri citizen, armed only with the truth.
- Sydney Powell, back when she was accusing Dominion of helping to switch the election from Trump to Biden, was interviewed a whole bunch of times by the Fox network, who then sympathetically reviewed her accusations on screen over and over again. Now Dominion is fighting back. Which is why Sydney says anyone who believed her was kind of crazy. Frances Langum reports as Fox goes all Sydney? Don’t recall any Sydney! Who is this Sydney?
- News Corpse watches Fox as once-upon-a-time president Trump explains that the Trump rioters weren’t rioting at all. They were harmless patriots out for a little family fun.

On Gun Regulation
A shooting spree in Georgia led to 8 deaths, including 6 people of Asian descent.
I post this video every time I hear about a mass shooting. If you're tired of seeing this video, I hope you understand that I am much more tired of hearing about mass shootings.
