RantWoman goes here gingerly between sweaty bruiser MMA fighters and the lives of people always fighting erasure.
To hear haters tell it, there must be millions of transgender people about.
President #StableGenius thinks a kid can turn transgender in one day at school. To go one step further, he loves the poorly educated so skip school AND ...
#GrandpaSleepyhead even thinks the National Science Foundation is studying transgender instead of TRANSGENIC mice.
The internet has been proclaiming Michelle Obama a man for YEARS and yet she persists in remaining female.
If only all this magical thinking about transgender people ensured that people who actually are transgender found instant ease and comfort as fast as social media waves its magic wand. If only....

Tackling the Iran Peace Deal
#Iran #StraitOfHormuz #NuclearWeapons
Yes, of COURSE RantWoman could have launched her commentary with SERIOUS pieces. Instead RantWoman will be going off on what seem to be the main talking points raised about the beginning, HOPEFULLY, of a path to peace.
Just let the comics at the realities.
Trump Faces GOP Fury Over Iran Deal; Fox News Blames JD Vance; Iran Gets $300 Billion: A Closer Look
Trump’s Iran Memorandum of Understanding Released, Declares War Is Over and Strait of Hormuz to Open
"this is a bad deal for the Iranian people" because the government is emboldened and has billions more to spend on weapons.
And now from FRANCE24
As long as Israel continues bombing in Lebanon, Iran sees no reason to negotiate.
JD Vance tells Israel not to p*ss off the only superpower in the world who is an ally for Israel.
(RantWoman comment: Ummmm. Will Israel actually knock off the massive human rights violations or will they just get madder and crazier and go it alone?)

Hoopes Sentenced to More Than Two Years in Prison for Assaulting an ICE Agent - Friends Journal
Article contains clear acceptance of responsibility as well as statements from the government and the judge.
Previously
Hoopes Pleads Guilty to Assaulting an ICE Agent, Faces Up to 20-Year Sentence - Friends Journal
RantWoman's judgmental and possibly unhelpful comments:
DO NOT DO ANYTHING that might be construed as assault at a protest!
Anyone not confident that they can stay centered in a given situation should definitely consider sitting out a protest. There are MANY ways to stand for justice. Know yourself. Know the situation. Know the people you are with. Avoid actions that you might be embarrassed about later.
Even though information suggests the officer's injury was comparatively minor, RantWoman is SEVERELY humor-impaired about any and all injuries around someone's eyes or face.
And at the same time, plenty of undertrained #ICE agents perpetrating the current barbarities, in RantWoman's eyes, also bloody well deserve prison sentences for the many assaults and injuries that come with their nearly lawless operational rules.
#AbolishICE
End the barbaric mass deportation efforts and get our collective legislative and national acts together to do serious immigration reform.
The Strait?
#StraitofHormuz #Iran
The gist:
Travel is still risky enough that insurance rates remain high.
There are likely to be continued charges to pass through.
Insurance rates are likely to remain high; alternative routes last longer and cost more so no relief on prices anytime soon.

RantWoman was just going to leave it at that and offer the President a SLIGHT reprive from all the divisive and objectively true content others are spewing on the occasion of the Presidents' birthday, but then the following landed in RantWoman's media streams.
PS. Mr. President, you're all grown up now. Please try to hold it together if the weather , the gnats, the mosquitos, the pigeons... get in the way of the UFC fight you have scheduled on the White House south lawn.

This video is someone who actually knows something putting together information from other sources who actually know something.
The war that is not a war is not a war even though there are still several forms of military action.
The gist of the story: President #StableGenius is not exactly lying when he says ships are moving in the Persian Gulf. Ships are moving. about 10% as many as were moving before the Strait of Hormuz was closed in connection with certain military action.
This video pulls together information from several standard shipping industry sources.

Opening snark aside, more expansion of war
RantWoman posts intermittently from this creator because RantWoman finds it interesting. Readers who want to consume every episode should subscribe themselves
And speaking of the "ceasefire"
The #SecDef, er Secretary of #WarCrimes is having a terrible week.
RantWoman means to find a different vid. This one is full of "leopards eating faces" comments about Senator Mike Lee and disappointment that Sen. Tom Tillis still wants to keep his party winning. But afte minutes of commentary, this video does a decent job of explaining the military's proposed new coding of religions.
Spoiler alert: Bless the Mormons' hearts. the Department of DEFENSE job is to defend FREEDOM OF RELIGION for EVERYONE. More expansive commentary after we consider other great moments of the week
Oh Dear,.
1.The Secretary of #WarCrimes has been having just a banger of a week. A virulently xenophobic and disgusting white supremacist speech at a #DDay anniversary commemoration. A speech so vile that, apparently, he is persona non grata in Normandy and was disinvited to a different commemoration.

Iran first and then the #SecDef

2. The #Secdef is trying to block promotions of some more highly decorated women and Black officers. Tiresome. Idiotic. Well spoken about by people who have way more military cred than RantWoman.
3. Best of all, he done gone and picked a fight with the Church of Jesus CHRIST of Latter day Saints over who is or is not a Christian. The task: reduce the number of 2-letter codes from 200 or so to about 30 with one catchall category called "other." The revised list explicitly added the word Christian to a bunch of different recognizable Christian denominations, INCLUDING QUAKERS, but not Mormons.
Aside from typing out the full name "Church of Jesus CHRIST of Latter Day Saints, RantWoman devoted a lot of social media time to witnessing about the fact that not all Quakers are Christians. RantWoman would just drop the word Christian entirely even though she can imagine yhowls of concern that Christians are being silenced. And the Mormons are still separated in the list from other Christians.
RantWoman is also jumping up and down about the point that the Secretary of DEFENSE job is to protect people of all faiths, not just virtue signalling and certainly not trying to resolve theological disputes by fiat.
As for social media, lots of people pointed out Sen. Lee's history of promoting certain kinds of discrimination. A few people mentioned that "next they'll be coming for the Catholics (because some evangelical Christians regard Catholics as idol worshippers.)" A few other commenters also get the point about religious liberty in general. A few. Still not the Secretary of #WarCrimes , crusades, and deer in the headlights twitches when certain questions get asked.

President #StableGenius goes to the Knicks game.
RantWoman has picked up videos from several of the young liberal male creators. If RantWoman gets crazy for balance, there will also be videos from Fox News or Newsmax.
RantWoman's comment
Anytime now, Donald Trump could just RESIGN and make billions of people around the world happier.
Everything that Mr. #StableGenius stands for makes me sick to the stomach.
I think it is deeply unfortunate that the US has a president who is so deeply loathed. He probably gets off on causing a stir, making people wait for hours in the heat and for that alone he absolutely deserves to be LOUDLY booed.
Digging ourselves out of the wreckage of his presidency is going to take hard work across the political spectrum.
Lovely clip from Rachel Madow

I hope some of the impacted business people and commuters in the restricted zone find some way to sue about something.
And Tim Miller from The Bulwark,
And after all that
Poor Knicks owner who was sitting next to him, trying to be his friend. RantWoman wonders whether someone like that could convince the President that he does not have to do it all and could go retire. Some people would still characterize a resignation as rage quitting but the whole country needs to focus on things that have NOTHING to do with a senile President's mental health.
And in front of Trump Tower
And a reaction?
Fascinating to RantWoman that the President either does not realize people are booing and thinks the loud reaction is in his favor or on some level does realize people are booing and just continues to invert reality.

A congressional hearing for shipping nerds
A wholesome break from detailed war coverage.
This video includes:
--history of US Maritime administration.
--Discussion of aging stock in the US cargo fleet and the role of these ships as adjunct to US military capacity
--discussion of the possibility that nuclear powered ships can feed (carbon free) electricity into the grid on land.
--Discussion of DOGE including Jones Act waivers are being handled by the DoD instead of the maritime administration. The Jones Act requires vessels moving cargo between US ports to have US crews, US flag, and US-built construction. Waivers are currently sought without any kind of check whether there might be Jones Act compliant vessels available. The maritime administration does not even get notification of the waivers until 10 days after travel has been completed.
Bottom line: it would be worthwhile for someone more of a budget nerd than RantWoman to sit with this video, consider things that do actually need funding and other concerning policy points. The, don't even excuse me, Secretary of #WarCrimes keeps going off with grandiose visions of more air craft carriers and who knows what else when there are lots of not-sexy basics that probably add a lot more value for both commercial shipping and of course the military. So please, budget nerds, have at it.
Read the description of the video for a more detailed summary and additional resources.

And the video apparently is something else getting firebombed, not the prime minister's house
Anyone allergic to Ivanka's voice, beware....
