Given that Trump immediately made hostile remarks and/or moves on several of our allies, signed executive orders on schools, the military, birth citizenship and…what more will be in the news today. the word suggesting impeachment has finally appeared. For detailed info about the reasons for impeachment in the US I’ll refer to Google.
Five broad categories of impeachment evidence:

1.EVIDENCE OF BIAS
2 EVIDENCE OF DEFECTS IN PERCEPTION AND RECALL
3 EVIDENCE OF BAD CHARACTER FOR TRUTHFULNESS
4. EVIDENCE OF PRIOR INCONSISTENT STATEMENTS
5. CONTRADICTION (One DAY TRUMP ANNOUNCED February AS black history month & almost immediately his directive doing away with special months was announced. Not cited as cause for impeachment by yours truly, but example of current level of governing.

PUT ANOTHER WAY,
Impeachable offenses
Culpable violation of the constitution.
Treason.
Bribery.
Graft and corruption.
Betrayal of Public Trust.
Other high crimes.

After 11 Days 100,000 Had Already Signed a petition to ‘Impeach Trump Again”- The Guardian
_____________
It is fairly well known that President Trump has a low opinion of military service personnel–At least the ones who were captured, died, etc. I was surprised, then, to read that He spoke so proudly of our military the other day in his rejection of trans individuals from our fighting force, defining them as not living up to the high standards of the military–

“Defending [Protecting?] Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government) shall apply to this order.”

HRC files 2nd legal challenge to Trump’s anti-trans military ban: The lawsuit lays out precisely how Trump’s ban harms the lives of military members and their families (and hurts national defense as well). LGBTQNATION. ON HOLD?

REMINDER;

HRC – Human Resource Council

DOGE – Recently I saw on Google that The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, said in a post on social media it terminated 89 contracts totaling $881 million. DOGE, which billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk leads, also said it cut 29 diversity, equity and inclusion training grants worth $101 million. And by the way, you probably already know that Musk’s 19-year old acolyte known as Big Balls, has taken on new roles as a senior adviser at the State Department and at the Department of Homeland Security, raising concerns among some diplomats and others about his potential access to sensitive information (Yahoo news)

WILL THIS BE ONE OF THE DISCOVERIES castrated by our new version of “America?” See Scitechweekly.com:

Rice University bioengineers have developed a groundbreaking construction kit for building customizable sense-and-respond circuits in human cells, enabling them to detect disease signals and trigger precise therapeutic responses. This breakthrough in synthetic biology could revolutionize treatments for complex conditions like cancer and autoimmune diseases by creating “smart cells” that react in real time.

NOTICE: I think I’m coming down with daymares, and I wonder which one will remain standing at the end of this act…Or who?

OLD REFLECTION by Nan

The World Is Flat After All

Dubbed Democracy, it used to be

top of the line, the lead ship, at sea,

and on the land it served us well,

until the strains of its death knell

fell,

baring an underbelly swole

with all the pilfered things they stole

in broad daylight, and on t.v.!

Gone is the half-belief in he

who’ll take us safely to the shore

while staying steadfast to the core.

The compass nestles in the deep

while those on board remain asleep.

They used to say the earth was round,

that right makes might, but I found

that all I knew I now know not,

nor how to tell the truth from rot,

and not so sure that we’ll endure,

to make a safe arrival.

C@ Nan

IF YOU BELIEVE THIS, GO…..

STAND IN THE CORNER…

Republicans in Congress argued that none of these bills are necessary because the right to birth control and the right to same-sex marriage are safe. “In no way, shape or form is access to contraception limited or at risk of being limited,” Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said during Thursday’s debate on the birth control bill. “The liberal majority is clearly trying to stoke fears and mislead the American people once again because in their minds stoking fear clearly is the only way that they can win.” (Yahoo News)

“The FBI has gone rogue and is doing the dirty work of a communist regime,” tweeted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Boebert “In Venezuela, they eat the dogs, and it started because they do not have firearms to protect themselves, to defend themselves against a tyrannical government.”

“We save the babies, we’ll save America,” Mike Pence told conservative youth.

At least Bostelman apologized: So easy to repeat motivated misunderstandings: A Nebraska state lawmaker apologized on Monday after he publicly cited a persistent but debunked rumor alleging that schools are placing litter boxes in school bathrooms to accommodate children who self-identify as cats. State senator Bruce Bostelman, a conservative Republican, repeated the false claim during a public, televised debate on a bill intended to help school children who have behavioral problems. His comments quickly went viral, with one Twitter video garnering more than 300,000 views as of Monday afternoon, and drew an onslaught of online criticism and ridicule. Bostelman initially said he was “shocked” when he heard stories that children were dressing as cats and dogs while at school, with claims that schools were accommodating them with litter boxes.

Sorry, I can’t handle any more at present…..

Genderqueer Student Murdered and Burnt in Rio Favela

Published May 9, 2018 by Nan Mykel

The killing of Matheus Passareli, who went by the name “Theusa” and refused to be categorized as either male or female, plunged Rio’s LGBTQI community into mourning on Brazil’s social network feeds.

Theusa, a bohemian figure studying at the Rio de Janeiro State University, was well-known in the community, which encompasses lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and intersex people born with any of several variations in sex characteristics.

On Monday, Theusa’s brother Gabriel Passareli, who also identified as genderless, said in a Facebook message that police had notified the family that Theusa’s body “was burned and there is little chance of finding solid evidence” of who carried out the murder.

“I am sorry to have chosen to be so carefree in the face of so much cruelty that my sister and myself… were exposed to,” wrote the sibling, who goes by the name Gabe. The post added that the family had retreated to their hometown in rural Rio de Janeiro state for their grieving.

Theusa’s murder came less than two months after the slaying of Marielle Franco, a black city councillor in Rio and a lesbian who fought against racism and lobbied for rights for the LGBTQI community and favela residents.

Although the LGBTQI community is relatively tolerated in big urban centers in Brazil, the country has one of the highest murder rates of homosexuals in the world.

In 2016, 343 people were killed in crimes linked to their sexual or gender orientations, according to the Bahia Gay Group, an association active in promoting the community’s rights.
