Last I checked, you don't have any medical credentials to make this determination.

Don't need medical credentials. Simple flipping common sense. Shouldn't be mutilating minors.

We really don’t want to hear your opinions on any minor-related issues.

NYT had article on war/famine/destruction going on in Sudan. Said hundreds are dying DAILY from starvation. I was stunned to discover the population of Sudan is over 50 million! That doesn’t include the 12 million from South Sudan. Not on my travel list….

The amount of deaths in Africa from wars, famine, and AIDS (that one lesser than 20 years ago) is staggering. In many ways they are still in the 1800s.

Insurrection in California!

Quote:

group of major publishers, authors and parents have sued Florida education officials over a law that allows parents and local residents to limit what books are available in school libraries if they depict or describe “sexual conduct.”

The lawsuit filed by Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins and others alleges that the state law, enacted last year, brought about hundreds of book removals and is violating First Amendment rights to free speech.

According to the lawsuit, some of the books that Florida has required be removed from school libraries under House Bill 1069 include: Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” Ernest Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple,” Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” and Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughter-House Five.”

The lawsuit challenges a section of the bill that requires school districts to remove a book that “depicts or describes sexual content” or is “pornographic.” One process to remove books from school libraries under the law allows parents to read out loud the controversial passages during a school board meeting, and if the board halts the reading due to explicit content, the school must “discontinue use of the material.”

An Iranian writer and activist has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after replying with a single dot, or period, in response to a post on the social platform X by Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

He also got more likes than The Supreme Leader.

protesters protesting China's President Xi during his visit to San Fran were attacked by pro China counter protesters in San Fran

the attacks were well organized and there were few or possibly no arrests of those doing the attacking

from the article:

"Chinese Diplomats and pro China diaspora groups based in the United States organized demonstrations in San Francisco that harassed and silenced protesters opposed to Beijing’s policies, including through violence, during Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s visit to the city in November, a six-month investigation by The Washington Post shows.

While there was aggression from both sides the most extreme violence was instigated by pro-CCP activists and carried out by coordinated groups of young men embedded among them, verified videos show. Anti-Xi protesters were attacked with extended flagpoles and chemical spray, punched, kicked and had fistfuls of sand thrown in their faces

Videos show at least four Chinese Diplomats from the Consulates in Los Angeles and San Francisco among the crowd of pro-CCP protesters, sometimes directly interacting with aggressive actors over four days of protests from Nov. 14-17. Some Chinese diaspora group leaders with ties to the Chinese state participated in some of the violence, the videos show."

Sad
The new normal in the USA
Gov of Georgia just offering thoughts a prayers
He's very very very pro gun



Every other country on the planet cares more for their children's lives then guns. Only the USA are gun rights more important then children's lives. This is a uniquely USA problem. Some on the right blame social media or violent video games. That's BS. Social media and violent video games is a worldwide phenomenon. Only in the USA do we have regular school shootings.
