    It doesn’t matter what you decide to put in it. If you are making lasagna, it’s a time consuming process. Waiting for my sauce to cook now.😒

    Peanut asked for lasagna, so, we are having lasagna tonight.🤷🏾‍♀️

    Good news!

    Remember when the Trump Admin started using loyalty questions to screen people for government work?

    These questions have been used in more than 70,000 federal job postings. (!!!)

    That was blocked today.

    My colleagues and coalition friends have been fighting this from the start and scored a big win.

    The 11 White jurors that voted Jill Clancy “not guilty” said that the lone holdout, a Black man, was “arrogant”.
    They meant “Uppity”.

    NOT a word about the US cutting aid to zUsaid & over 500,000 Black babies under 5 dying.

    So far, the Clancies have
    (1) Defended killing your kids
    (2) Defended Doxxing jurors if they don’t vote the way you want
    (3) Defended smearing jurors in the media if they don’t follow their agenda .

    ALL Americans are hurting and paying more for things because of the high price of diesel caused by Republicans. MANY businesses are hurt, EVERYONE pays more for everything. So why the hell should farmers get our money in a bailout – especially when 75% of them voted for this.

    With Saudi oil now blockaded, Americans are about to discover why maintaining stability in the Middle East and not handing it to a consortium of Russia and Iran was always important.

    Walking through every step of Trump’s actions in Iran, it almost seems like a wishlist drafted in the Kremlin.

    – Start a war with Iran that drives up oil prices
    -Take sanctions off Russia long enough to allow 180 million barrels of unpurchased floating crude oil to be sold at high prices
    – Burn up US interceptor stockpile with no plan for mass production
    – Cut off Ukraine’s supply
    – Refuse to aid Saudi Arabia as Houthis blockade Bab el-Mandeb Strait

    Next up – $200/barrel oil and take sanctions off Russia as solution.

    Texas is delaying its typical September 1 release of maternal mortality data until December 1, conveniently timed to be after the midterm election. Recent reports show a sharp rise in ectopic pregnancy deaths after the abortion ban went into effect.

    What NBC10 Boston has done to the lone holdout juror is a journalistic disgrace. After eleven white jurors failed to pressure the jury’s only Black member into abandoning his independent judgment, NBC10 effectively joined the campaign to destroy him.

    While the jury list remains judicially impounded, NBC10 repeatedly approached this private citizen’s home, contacted his estranged relatives and former wife, searched through his housing records, publicized his unpaid rent and eviction, repeated a relative’s insult that he is a “narcissist,” and resurrected domestic-violence allegations wholly unrelated to Lindsay Clancy’s criminal responsibility.

    NBC10 buried the crucial facts. The 2021 criminal charge was dismissed. Allegations in a restraining-order proceeding are not criminal convictions. Financial problems have absolutely nothing to do with whether Clancy knew that strangling her three children was wrong. None of this refutes the juror’s evidence-based concerns about the sequential killings and Clancy’s deliberate actions afterward.

    Most disgracefully, NBC10 insinuated that the juror may have answered his questionnaire dishonestly, and even suggested possible criminal conduct, while admitting that the questionnaire is confidential, that the station has never seen it and that it cannot confirm how he answered. That is not responsible investigative journalism. It is speculation carefully arranged to resemble proof.

    A confidential questionnaire issue, if one exists, belongs before the judge, not in a televised character-assassination campaign. NBC10 had no legitimate reason to publish this man’s rent problems or broadcast insults from estranged relatives. Those details were included for one purpose: to humiliate and discredit the sole juror who refused to deliver the verdict preferred by Clancy’s supporters.

    They were perfectly comfortable condemning the lone Lindsay Clancy holdout juror right up until one inconvenient fact wandered into the room:

    He was Black.

    Then the gears started grinding.

    “I have to sit with that.”
    “That changes the landscape.”
    “A lot of us were assuming he was white.”

    Oh, really?

    What changed?

    Same juror. Same vote. Same case. Same evidence. Same dead children. Same decision.

    His skin color entered the chat, and suddenly the moral calculator needed a reboot.

    That is intersectional politics in one perfect, embarrassing little scene.

    These people lecture the country about justice while running every moral question through a demographic spreadsheet. Race. Sex. Sexuality. Religion. Victim ranking. Oppression points. Privilege penalties. Then, after all the boxes are checked, they finally decide who is allowed to be criticized.

    Apparently “right and wrong” now comes with a dropdown menu.

    Imagine admitting, out loud, that learning a juror was Black “changes the landscape.” You just told everyone that your judgment depended on the race of the person you were judging.

    Bravo. You accidentally explained the entire scam.

    DEI and intersectionality sell themselves as moral progress while training people to abandon universal standards the second tribal identity enters the equation.

    And when the tribes collide?

    Cue the sweating, the stammering, the “I need to sit with that.”

    They built a moral system so stupid it can short-circuit over a skin tone.

    Same facts.
    Different identity.
    Suddenly the ethics change.

    That is the punchline.

    And somehow they still want to be taken seriously.

    She got into the business for the specific purpose of making sure that men credibly accused of SA would never be convicted. Now 15 years of cases will need to be reevaluated & readjudicated, and Colorado’s justice system will be a hot mess for years to come.

    The lone Black male juror who voted to convict Lindsay Clancy of murdering her children is being vilified in the news because, at its core, mainstream media remains deeply rooted in white supremacy.

    The fact that every news outlet is like….”We’ll break down how Trump’s $5,000 voting payout would work” as opposed to “THE 34 TIME CONVICTED FELON, DONALD TRUMP FLOATS ILLEGAL $5,000 BRIBE TO VOTERS” is a huge part as to why we’re here.

    Trump denies skipping New York event because he couldn’t speak, saying he was invited to Pentagon instead. But he hasn’t explained why he isn’t doing both. On other big anniversaries, Bush (1st and 5th), Obama (10th) and Biden (20th) visited all three attack sites the same day.

    🚨#BREAKING: A TV station is now digging through the PRIVATE LIFE of the lone, Black male HOLDOUT JUROR from the Lindsay Clancy trial… publicizing his divorce, his family disputes, even his eviction…

    …because he refused to acquit Lindsay Clancy!!!!

    Yes, they are TEARING HIS PRIVATE LIFE APART for this, but have done ZERO investigating on the private lives of the OTHER jurors.

    One man, after a week of deliberation, would not sign off on a verdict he didn’t believe in and that (by the way) is the WHOLE POINT of a jury.

    We literally instruct jurors: do not cave.

    Who is ever going to hold out EVER AGAIN???!!!!

    Who’s going to risk being the one honest “no” when they know the punishment is having their entire life ripped open on the news?!!!!

    They are literally attempting to DESTROY the jury system with fear.

    A verdict you disagree with is not a crime and a citizen who does his duty should not have his life destroyed for it.

    This is absolutely insane.
