Weekend Wrap Up: September 25, 2022

With so much going on in our world, we sometimes miss important issues. Please feel free to share any headlines we may have missed or new developments providing they come from reliable and credible sources. We won’t accept any parroted, Russian propaganda from far-right ‘news’ sources unless you’re trying to point out that the far-right extremist in our country and elsewhere actually believe their own BS or Russian disinformation. Nor, will we except any parroted far-right BS regarding issues occurring here, at home. We also ask that you provide a link to your source so folks can read it if they want. Please do not make any claims that you cannot factually validate or verify.

If Democrats win the House and the Senate, they will have the ability to pass laws to protect abortion rights, right to use contraceptives, voting rights and same-sex marriages.

In an interview by the Texas Tribune, Liz Cheney said: "I’m going to do everything I can to make sure Kari Lake (AZ) is not elected.”
The interviewer asked: "Does that include campaigning for Democrats?"
Cheney didn't miss a beat: “Yes.” The crowd cheered.

Yesterday – Elise Stefanik voted AGAINST funding for #NY21 police and reducing violent crime. Stefanik only stands with #NY21 police for a photo opp. When it really counts, she turns her back on the blue and on the safety of our communities. pic.twitter.com/yKEbbzZFlf

Ohio’s ‘Finest:’

https://twitter.com/KeithOlbermann/status/1574062088485539840

The DD-214 says it all. He’s a dud. Busted down in rank. That’s serious. Also, this says he received no performance award, just participation ribbons. @JRMajewski thx for signing up to serve, but you are not qualified to represent Ohio in Congress. Leave that to @RepMarcyKaptur https://t.co/FbTaCX9jx1

What Others are Saying/The Sunday Shows:

One thing that stands out in the latest @CBSNews Battleground Tracker is that people think that if the GOP take control of Congress, “women, by 3 to 1, will have fewer rights and freedoms than they currently do than would have more,” @SalvantoCBS tells us. https://t.co/KmiTlsGEkq pic.twitter.com/JfzluxKIct

The 'catholic father' he is defending ASSAULTED a 74-year-old man who was escorting a woman into a Planned Parenthood and harrassed countless other women trying to get care. This is the GOP playbook: engage in political violence and then cry 'persecution' when you get caught. https://t.co/yL5rFNJpi8

The political media is so broken and useless.

There's no legitimate reason to Impeach President Biden. Chuck Todd letting this go with no pushback is simply pathetic. https://t.co/Haac2kGxBN

.@tedcruz says one of the most effective ways to prevent mass shootings is to "enhance security at vulnerable targets" and add more police in schools.

But experts say more law enforcement on campuses doesn’t necessarily make schools safer. https://t.co/HYwikriccm #TribFest22 pic.twitter.com/Y4VWyh0M3q

I’m old enough to remember way back in, uh, March 2021, when @tedcruz was OUTRAGED at the idea of book bans, and sold signed copies of Green Eggs and Ham in protest.

Where is he now on Texas’ cancel culture and the 801 books banned across the state? pic.twitter.com/BhrEkbjro9

Multiple Ohio HSs had false-alarm school shooting threats yesterday. It was horrifying because it is believable. Threats of alien invasion would not have led to the same response. Do something about the guns. https://t.co/iDEQHdz9mu
