George the Shrub skips Trumpalooza and hosts a 9/11 discussion
#911 #NeverForget
David Reddish is one of RantWoman's favorite snarky flaming queen commentators, but even RantWoman needs a balanced media diet. RantWoman will look for some other accounts of W, Condi and their reflections on 9-11.
RantWoman will also discern about whether to go full snark herself about a number of points. But in the meantime.

UT Governor Spencer Cox writes a book on overcoming divisiveness
#UTpol
RantWoman's first impression of UT governor Spencer Cox was to cringe when he admitted he prayed for days that the person who allegedly shot Charlie Kirk was an outsider. Sorry. The problem appears to be inside the house.
Will RantWoman add his book to her Mean to Read list? Probably not, but RantWoman will definitely cover the situation with prayers for continued dialogue.
You know what insults Jesus?
#TXpol
RantWoman does not live in TX so maybe the fact that RantWoman is tired of seeing only James Talarico in his ads does not matter. Still, RantWoman would find it unifying to see lots of different faces endorsing Talarico. Just sayin'
But take it away Jesus.

Remembering Daniel, and...
as the conclusion of lots of other moments that belong to a beloved Friend, not to his murderer. RantWoman will continue to hold N, the man's wife in the Light
Recall:
RantWoman and the RSOF: Remembering Daniel Lytton well
RantWoman and the RSOF: When conversation might be too much, try Mr. GOOGLE. Further memorial.
RantWoman and the RSOF: Memorial with a side of fisheries management.
Finally, the verdict in court: Guilty on all charges.

Ask and ye shall receive
#ICE #CBP #Milo
In today'deportation news:
Deported: Assorted spouses and parents of active duty US military service members
A man from Afghanistan named Khalil whose deportation is evoking a familiar long litany of furious comments from US troops about how he and his family risked their lives to assist US forces in Afghanistan.
Digression: OF COURSE RantWoman does not automatically bless the missions the tropops are on. RantWoman does absolutely think service members, their spouses, and unterpreters, local who assis the US do not deserve the nonsens they are receiving from ICE/CBP.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
GOOD BYE Milo.
So Long

MAGA Troll Demanded Mass Deportations — Then ICE Deported Him in ONE DAY
Milo Yiannopoulos Nabbed By ICE
It Finally Happened To This MAGA BIGOT And His MAGA 'Friends' DID IT TO HIM!
Milo Yiannopoulos, the British commentator who spent years screaming for zero immigration and on-the-spot deportations, is sitting in a Louisiana ICE cell tonight because he overstayed his own visa.

Friday night popcorn kernels
![]() |
| There may or may not be actual popcurn lurking in this cupboard |
Popcorn kernel No. 1
If President #StableGenius wants to keep slapping his name e\EVERYWHERE, after the ravages of deregulation, are there no toxic waste dumps, garbage gyres, uranium slag piles, junkyards, Superfund sites... desperately in need of new names?
Popcorn Kernel No. 2
Recently on one of RantWoman's encounters with theologically very different voices, one person talked about "being covered in the blood of Jesus." All RantWoman could think was "Holy murder scene Batman." Who needs to get sent off for remedial metaphor appreciation?
Popcorn Kernel No. 3
RantWoman has been inappropriately wishing for voodoo dolls of certain public figures. RantWoman has been wondering in Quaker terms what could be wished for as far as the purifying power of prayer or sudden spiritual transformation.
