I tried to email you both but one says it is not working and the other says EarthLink apparently has my IP blocked.

Anyway, Thank you both for your donations 🙂

I made some comments on a LGBT website on the Publix PrEP story.

This is what I learned in the last 24 hours.

HIV is not a gay disease but not covering PrEP is homophobic.

That my insurance which costs me $250/mo on the family plan and pays $15 for birth control means gay people are subsidizing my condom free sex life.  So, I should have no say in a gay person who pays $125 in individual premiums getting $1,300/mo in PrEP.

It’s fair to pay for PrEP foe years on end because gay people pay for health care coverage for our kids for years too.

“Live and let live” does mean “you have to pay for my lifestyle.”

PrEP is like gay reparations for what Reagan did to the gays back in the 80’s.

Because I disagree with the gay community on PrEP  (I said over and over that I’m fine with Truvada for post exposure treatment but using it pre exposure is like taking Tamiflu every day during flub season) I am a stupid, ignorant, homophobe from bad breeding, with no education, and I should “educate myself.”

My wife, my kids, and I all “deserve” HIV.

I’m just a “breeder” and a troll and gay people’s lives none of my business, even in I have to pay more because of it.

What they don’t seem to know is this. Y cousin died from HIV.  Technically from the HIV strain of pneumonia, but still.  He caught HIV during an anonymous hookup on South Beach.  Believe me, I know all about the gay culture of Miami Beach.  Some of it is truly disgusting.   Hint: don’t go into a public beach bathroom after dark. 

I still don’t think that PrEP is worth the cost.

It will only encourage more gay men to say “you don’t need a rubber, I’m on PrEP.”  How do I know?  Because there are already gay men who say “you don’t need a rubber, I’m on AZT.”  Because the myth is that you can’t spread HIV if your viral load is low exists.

What I learned is that there is a left wing part of the LGBT community that is the gay equivalent of BLM. They hate straight people and you have to pay or be broken because they are historical victims.

I don’t care who you have sex with.  It’s none of my business.   I will not be bullied because I won’t agree to pay for your lifestyle.

The Tesla Roadster and Starman SpaceX lances supposedly missed it’s trajectory to Mars.

I don’t think so.

I think Elon Musk is on a search for the Loc Nar to use its power to defeat Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.

The Loc Nar describes itself as:

I am the sum of all evils. Look carefully, my power infests all times, all galaxies, all dimensions.

That sound like both Amazon and Facebook.

Without the power of the Loc Nar, Musk has no chance of becoming emperor of Silicon Valley.

I can’t be the only person who saw the launch of Starman and didn’t think of this.

The novels “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” will no longer be required reading in the Duluth school district due to the books’ use of a racial slur, a curriculum change supported by the local NAACP chapter.

The two books will continue to be available in school libraries and can be optional reading for students, but beginning next school year, they’ll be replaced as required reading by other literature that addresses the same topics in ninth- and 11th-grade English classes, said Michael Cary, the district’s director of curriculum and instruction.

Duluth schools remove ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ ‘Huckleberry Finn’ from curriculum due to racial slur.

I remember back in the late 70s and early 80s when a bunch of religious asshats and other associates wanted to ban books because of reasons up and including the use of certain bad words.  The backlash that created was phenomenal and since it was tagged to the Conservative movement, it was a momentary black eye (Reagan did get elected, so there.)

Anyway, since then, the book-banning defense has been part and parcel of the Liberals. In fact the infamous list is still found around the Internet  as proof of how evil the Conservative Book-Banning, Witch-Burning, Coat-Hanger Abortion crowd can be.  In that list? “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. ”

Doing my news-gathering rounds, I came across this photo:

The report comes out of Zulia State  which borders with Colombia so my first thought was the plastic bags contained cocaine and maybe there is a load of pot or even heroine in the cloth bag. Really dangerous stuff, hardened criminals out of circulation because of the hard labor of local police.

They were arrested because they were carrying two hundred kilos of sugar. Yes, normal sugar, the stuff you add to your coffee.

Regional police officers attached to the Police Coordination Center -Maracaibo South seized, yesterday, 200 kilos of sugar in the main avenue of Urbanizacion Villa Hermosa, Cristo de Aranza parish of Maracaibo. Two alleged criminals were arrested during the procedure.
Brigadier General Rubén Ramírez Cáceres, general director of CPBEZ, commented that the officers carried out surveillance and patrol duties when they saw a vehicle Chevrolet, model Cavalier, red, plate DAS-32A, was overweight in the back.
Immediately they descended from their units, approached to inspect, inside the trunk were 10 bags of sugar, weighed 20 Kilos, for a total of 200 kilos.

Incautan 200 kilos de azucar en in carro. (Original in Spanish)

Having solved all crimes in their state, the Zulia Police is now targeting those individual engaged in the possession of sugar. OK, I am not being fair as good part for this travesty comes from the central government of Caracas that has made illegal for individual citizens the ownership of quantities of foodstuff that have not been doled out by the official governmental sources and according to the ration “cards” (It is electronic now, uses your thumbprint and runs from a data base.)

The article goes on to say that the sugar will be sent to the local distribution centers where it will be properly given to the populace. But in reality the sugar has already been shared by the members of the local police station with a cut reserved for the bosses.

I can imagine the conversation among inmates.

“What are you in here for? Murder? Rape? Armed robbery?”
“Possession of Sugar”
“Shit, you a badass!”

Not even Eugene Ionesco (Father of Theatre of the Absurd) could write this shit.

I saw this post over at MDA’s Facebook page.

A Black Lives Matter activist was killed at 1:30 am in New Orleans.

The man, Muhiyidin Moye d’Baha, was famous for stealing a Confederate Flag during protests in Charleston, South Carolina.

Already, the supporters of MDA have decided that the killer must be a white supremacist and is Trump’s fault.

As of yet there is no evidence to that or even a suspect.

Here are some things we do know.

From 2017, the homicide rate in New Orleans was higher than Chicago or Baltimore.  The NOLA black homicide rate was 25.75/100,000.  Historically, black shooters were responsible for about 95% of the murders in NOLA.

So…

Could a white supremacist have recognized  Muhiyidin Moye d’Baha from pictures taken in 2015 of him taking a Confederate Flag from a protester and decided to get revenge?

Could he have been followed by a white supremacist from Charleston (where he lived)  to New Orleans to be murdered for role in a 2015 protest?

Or could he have been the victim of random black on black crime after midnight, in a bad neighborhood, in one of America’s most dangerous cities?

At this point I am reminded of a British aphorism, which is usually a version of Hanlon’s Razor: “cock-up before conspiracy.”

Only time will tell.  However, in the absence of evidence I’m sure we in polite society – particularity those who are white, legally own guns, support Trump, or all three – will be blamed for this assassination and hate crime.  

We will know if (that) it turns out to be just random NOLA street violence, when this story vanishes like a fart in a hurricane, because above all else the narrative has to be preserved.

Until then, brace yourselves.

The Lunar Rover was also electric and it was actually driven around, not just posed for pictures. And it seems that nobody is bothered by the fact that Musk is using a rocket concept discarded by NASA and pretty much everybody else in the early 1960s because it was inefficient. But then again, he is being subsidized with taxpayer’s money, so he does not care.
