We Are Better Than This

 We Are Better Than This  Substack by JoJoFromJerz. 

The article starts with Amber Thurman's last words: Promise me you'll take care of my son."

Amber died because doctors were afraid to treat life threatening infection, least they be arrested due to SCOTUS giving states the right to deny liberty to females. To wit: Roe v. Wade. 

When GOP's goal was to end Roe v. Wade, I stopped considering them for any elected position. The first thing I would check in any election was a candidate's position on Roe v. Wade. I was pregnant 3 times; the father wanted me to abort all three. His parents tried to convince me to abort #2. I refused. I told him I would abort #3, if he came up with the money. I knew that he would not. So why do I care about Roe v. Wade?

Read the article. https://substack.com/home/post/p-149184187

It explains part of my reason. Physicians should not fear being arrested if they assist a pregnant female, because the needed care might cause the fetus (embryo) to abort.  D & C's have been standard care after natural miscarriages for as long as I can remember. 

Medical professions should not have to fear treating a pregnant female involved in a car crash, because treatment might induce a miscarriage.

A raped 14-year-old girl's parents should not have to travel to another state to have doctor assisted termination of the unwanted pregnancy.  No raped female should be forced to carry her rapists fetus to turn. If men gave birth, they would know to force childbirth is cruel & unusual punishment.

Who is adopting all those unwanted babies? Those forced childbirths? Put into the system, abused by foster parents, aged out at 18 with no place to go? 

It has zero effect on my life if a teenager, gotten pregnant by boyfriend  ~ whose first words are: "It isn't mine," ~ leaves her to deal with the unwanted pregnancy, choses doctor assistance to terminate the pregnancy. 

Let the choice be between the pregnant females and her religious beliefs. 

Tesla explosion outside of Trump hotel

 "The remains were burned beyond recognition and investigators have not definitively identified them as Livelsberger, but the IDs and tattoos on the body..."

Okay, body burned beyond recognition, yet the tats were visible? 

There's No Love Left

 There's No Love Left

On November 7, 2025, I posted "World Without Love," by Bobby Rydell. I happened upon "There's No Love Left" by the Isley Brothers, at You Tube a minute ago. It was a B-side of 45RPM. I always listened to B-sides. This is the only one I listened to over and over again; most got one play and done. 

Do not know why I related to those two tunes as a teen. I did not have any boyfriends or love life back then. Perhaps a reflection on the state of the world? Reading comments on a Never Trumper short, hate from MAWAs is strong (and lies) and truly mocks the song of "peace on earth goodwill to men." 

2025

 Day one 2025, a man drove a truck into crowd at New Orleans, killing ten, wounding others. 

Dump wrote:

"When I said that criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true. The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before."

The man is a U.S. born/raised citizen. FOX news retracted a statement that the man's truck was seen entering the US from a border checkpoint "two days ago." Perhaps DJT first heard about the incident from FOX? M.T. Greene repeated FOX's lie. 

Hello 2025! Facts show that it is true, homegrown citizens commit more crimes than immigrants, legal or not. MAGAS were quick to criticize President Biden and praise trump for quick response to the tragedy. I guess FOX did not tell them that Joe contacted New Orleans mayor, and issued a White House statement before dump posted his lie. 

Crime increased during his years in office; crime has steadily decreased under Biden's admin. But to dump it is "never seen before." So sad MAWAS put him back in the Oval Office. 

Called Pete Buttigieg Alfred E. Neuman

 DJT nicknamed Pete Buttigieg "Alfred E. Neuman," because he looks like the MAD magazine "what, me worry" character. Pete had to look it up on Google; said "it must be a generational thing."

Later in an interview when asked how he felt Pete replied:

"we talk a lot about elevating dialogue so I guess the fact that I inspired him to make a literary reference for the sake of..."

Paused

 Easily distracted from my goals, paused dumping my saved #45 comments. Not that anyone reads this, but did not want so many new posts daily. So take breaks. One day I got an e-mail that someone followed me on SubStack. What is Substack? Seems one of this Blogs posts is what caused the lady to follow me. How it got on SubStack, I do not know. 

Between SubStack and Bluesky, I get distracted and add something to this blog, pausing my goal of moving all documents here. Will make that my New Year's goal to finish up this project. 

Garbage

 "It's not her, it's the people that surround her. They're scum. They are scum, and they want to take down our country. They are absolute garbage."

Someone posted an image of MAWAS wearing garbage bags, with words "proud to be garbage," after President Biden called them garbage. They all forget when Dump called Kamala supporters garbage. 

Dump's Carter tribute

 “I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter. Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History.#dump Truth Social Post

(makes it about him)

He "“strongly disagreed” with Carter “philosophically and politically."
(of course he did)

 “He was also very consequential, far more than most Presidents, after he left the Oval Office." Dump (has to criticize other presidents)

President Obama had positive words about Carter's work as President, teaching Sunday school, and The Carter Foundation. Eloquent, as always.

President and Jill Biden also wrote a fitting tribute to President and Rosalynn Carter. 

I will never understand how he got elected again. I was hoping for sanity. 

Real Men

 

President Obama asked President G. W. Bush if he could meet all the living presidents. These are real men who deserved to be in the Oval Office. Not petty like "I am the only one who can fix what is wrong with America," malignant narcissistic megalomaniac Dump.

Musk

 "I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend." ~ Musk

Sounds like dump "the likes of which."

“problems ... the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen” DJT

"the likes of which the world has never seen before" (North Korea)  DJT

Not to mention the "eff yourself in the face" Musk comment.  I assume my "red dog" nephew would approve. Do the dumpster's Christian supporters actually believe this is who should be running our government? 

Ramaswamy

 "A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers," Ramaswamy wrote, calling for a 1950s-style "Sputnik moment" to prioritize "nerdiness over conformity."

Okay, I have USA born nephews and a grandson; college graduates, tech jobs. So another trumpet that looks down upon US citizens, like his lord, Dump? 

Google founders: Sergey Brin was born in Moscow; he grew up in the United States, since his parents immigrated here, when he was six years old.

Larry Paige, born in the US of A. 

Google does hire H-1B employees, the majority of their hires are US citizens; the majority graduated from Sandford, and Berkley colleges. 

Then there was Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak. Prom kings?

So true

voter fraud?

"If you buy a box of cereal — you have a voter. They try to shame everybody by calling them racist, or calling them something, anything they can think of, when you say you want voter ID. But voter ID is a very important thing.” Nov 14 2018

July rally 2023: “You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card. You need ID,"

“You have voter ID to buy a loaf of bread. You have ID to buy a loaf of bread,” Sept 2023

“The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes, When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on." November 2018

“You know, if you want to go out and buy groceries, you need identification. If you want to do almost anything you need identification. The only thing you don’t need identification for is to vote, the most important single thing you’re doing – to vote,” campaign rally in Lake Charles, Louisiana Oct. 2019

Sarah Sanders said he meant when buying "beer and wine," after his Florida 2018 rally, but that is not what he said. Beer and wine are not groceries or a box of cereal. 

Debate:Who was responbile?

The question: people are saying DJT was responsible for the attack on Congress on J6th. 

DJT 
"I don't think many believe that.

On Jan. 6, we had a great border, nobody coming through, very few. On Jan. 6, we were energy independent. On Jan. 6, we had the lowest taxes ever, we had the lowest regulations ever, On Jan. 6, we were respected all over the world.” 

“I did nothing wrong. We have a system that is rigged and disgusting."

Joe

“Look, he encouraged those folks to go up to Capitol Hill, number one … He sat there for three hours. Three hours watching, begging, being begged by his vice president and a number of colleagues on the Republican side as well, to do something. To call for a stop. To end it."

Yet they said DJT won the debate against Joe? The only people who did not say he was responsible were the MAGAS.

What is right?

 “Elected officials have to do what’s popular, and sometimes not what’s right, and that’s a problem. That’s I think why people get nervous about Trump. He doesn’t do what’s popular or what’s right. Er, I should say he only does what’s right, he doesn’t do what’s popular.”Alina Habba said.

John Fetterman

 "He had the energy and almost a sense of fearlessness to just say all those kinds of things. You literally were shot in your head and had the presence of mind to respond, you know, 'Fight, fight, fight!' I mean, that's a political talent." John Fetterman

"Fight, fight, fight," is encouraging violence. Did Fetterman watch J6th violence?

Fascism is a word ordinary citizens use. 

"I think people are going to decide who is the candidate that's going to protect and project, you know, my version of the American way of life, and that's what happened." Fetterman

DJT made it clear he was not going to protect female right to liberty; he was not going to protect LGBT equal rights. The only thing DJT will protect is keeping himself out of jail. He is not going to protect the environment or citizen's health. 

If it were not for Dr. Oz, I would not have voted for Fetterman. A DINO.

Lynching postcards

 People who buy Dump's mugshot merchandise, are like those people who bought lynching postcards. Dump would be like the men who took the photos, published and sold them as postcards. The postcards often had racist text and poems along with the victim of the lynching. 

There may have been other celebrity presidents, before Reagan; but Dump is hero worship of a villain. Does this make America great again?

Say it, say it

 Memory returned: the year Dottie sent me one of those mass e-mail Xmas greetings. All glittery, Care Bears type Xmas tree. "Say it, say it, this is a Christmas tree. This is not a Hanukkah bush.." I forget the rest of it. Pure hatred spewed at Non Christians, especially Muslims. 

I went away. Hours later I went back and replied to all. I blasted Christians for their ugly, hate thy neighbor greeting. Someone replied "who is this," spewing more hatred my way. Dottie said, she shared it because it was "pretty" she did not notice the message. I suppose the memory came back to me, due to our Facebook tiff. Love. Thy. Neighbor. 

Looking back, of course she noticed the hateful message. 9 years of listening to Dump preach hate was 9 years too much. Anyone who supported him, supported hate. Immigrants are vermin, pensioning the blood. Our father was an immigrant, how dare you! Oh but he did not mean all immigrants, they say. Does she really think our father and his family were not subject to the same hate that other black/brown immigrants face today? 

Oh, he meant illegal immigrants. He did not say that. It is reported that immigrant Elon Musk was once an illegal immigrant. But that is okay, he is white? Ditto Dump's immigrant wives. 

There was never a War on Christmas. MAWAS, easy sell on lies. Bible says "by their works, you shall know them." Christians who voted for Dump and spread ugly Xmas greetings, are the works of Christian leaders. Too sad. 

For the record I am an atheist. 

The Greek word for Christ, Christos, begins with the letter "X", or chi. This led to the use of "X" as an abbreviation for Christ in early Christianity. The "X" in "Xmas" is also a reference to Christ

Government Shutdown

 Too bad I did not hang on to my Facebook account a bit longer. New Terms of Service will start of January 1, 2025, so I had planned to end it on December 31. Some computer glitch at 3AM insomnia unable to fall back to sleep had a hissy fit removed all neighbors and bye, bye, bye. I permanently deleted the account, rather than taking the option, so that I could reinstate it. Does not matter; Dottie is gone. Maybe I should send her a postcard?

How do you feel that Freddy might lose his paycheck due to looming government shutdown? Thank you very much. Son-in-law Freddy is National Guard, army war vet. Daughter said they will manage, but it will not be fun. That is, her paycheck will carry them for as long as shutdown continues. Last shutdown was 6 weeks, courtesy of Dump. 

I am curious as to how she and other MAWAs are dealing with Elon Musk being part of his Cabinet? Not even in office yet; Musk influenced GOP Congress? He will not be hurting if the government shuts down at midnight tonight. Happy Christmas military families as we take away your paychecks, for who knows how long this time? I suspect 7 weeks; than Dump can sign executive order, being 'hero' reinstating Federal Employees paychecks? 

Is this what you wanted Dottie? To hurt others due to love of  Dump? Whatever.
