Things from the past that kids will never do

Call the operator. I don’t even remember when phone operators became a thing of the past. Maybe when phone booths went away? I took my 8 yr old niece and her friend to lunch today. There was a phone on the wall from the 1900s. They asked me how it worked without numbers, I told them back then you had to dial the operator to put your call through. The looks on their faces was priceless. My niece finally said,I’m glad there are no more operators. I’m not a baby, I can make a call myself

Man has a stroke, found slumped in his car, police arrest him

Tweet
Boston Police found Al Copeland slumped in his car, unable to speak or stand because he had just suffered a major stroke while driving back from the hospital, where he was helping a young man experiencing alcohol and drug troubles.

When police looked at the toppled over man, they assumed he was intoxicated and brought him to the police station, where they were unable to book him because he didn't have the presence of mind. Before putting him in a lock up, they brought him to the bathroom where he fell, opening a gash on his head.

For the next five hours, Copeland just laid lifeless in the cell. Not until he started vomiting did they finally call the EMTs. They told the hospital emergency room staff that he had been arrested for OUI. Based on that, the nurses left him on a gurney for another seven hours untreated. With a stroke, there are critical time

Attorney George Leontire worked on this case for close to a year, and wrote out a complaint, stating "the City of Boston violated this individual's civil rights, among other things. It's Boston Police policy, if they come across an individual who clearly is having a medical issue, irrespective of the reason why they're having a medical issue, they have the responsibility to take that person to the hospital. Toxicology tests revealed he was clean and sober, a fact his wife verified, for 29 years. It's evident the Boston Police should have taken Mr. Copeland to the hospital."

Stacey Dash: Pill Addiction made me a homophobe

On yesterday’s episode of “The Dr. Oz Show”, Dash shared her “deepest, darkest secret”, claiming she was addicted Vicodin, “taking 18 to 20 pills a day” at one point, and that’s what made her say such horrible things about LGBTQ people. It also nearly bankrupt her.

“I lost everything,” she said, claiming to have blown through “about five to ten grand” a month on pills.

Now five years sober, Dash says her recovery has made her a deeper, more thoughtful, more compassionate person.

What’s her excuse for being a MAGAT?
I know there are many adverse reactions to drug abuse. I don’t think bigotry is one of them.

Texas removes suicide hotline from LGBTQ site because it could hurt GOP governor's reelection

The republicans are truly a death squad

Greg Abbott's primary opponent said it's "offensive to see Greg Abbott use our tax dollars to advocate for transgender ideology," because a state website linked an LGBTQ suicide hotline. It was promptly removed.

Republican Gerrymandering may force Rep Sheila Jackson Lee & Rep Al Green to go against each other

Republican gerrymandering in Texas could result in a situation where longtime U.S. Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee and Al Green are forced into a “double bunk” election during the next Congressional term. This round of redrawing efforts that are expected, “will severely impact the Houston, Texas area,” The Grio has learned from a high-ranking source on Capitol Hill.
Snip——-
Sources close to Jackson Lee and Green contend that they do not plan to run against one another but plan to fight the potential move in court. The Texas members of Congress are currently sharing the same attorney in this matter. So far, there is no court date as they have to wait on the Republican-majority Texas House of Representatives to draw up their plan.

These same Democrats have faced this challenge before during the last time the state legislature took up the redrawing of districts. Green and Jackson Lee won the court battle then, and were able to stand on the pre-clearance portion of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that was still intact at the time.

The mouth frothers will probably rant and rave about being mandated to learn something they don’t want to. Just wait till they find out, in college you are mandated to take English, Math, some kind of history class, lots of other mandatory classes.
