I Didn't Say It ...

Gilles Rocca, Italian actor and reality show star, on developing his feminine side based on the strong women that reared him:

“The alpha male? I almost feel more like a woman than a man. I have a predominantly feminine side. Yes, my aesthetic is very masculine, but inside it’s different. Perhaps having had a very strong upbringing from my mother, I learned a lot. My mother’s upbringing made me understand how important it is to bring out my feminine side. I was very male up to a certain point in my life, where I didn’t show my weaknesses, where I wanted to show that I was the muscular one, the strong one, but in reality I was hiding so many weaknesses that over the years I’ve managed to bring out, not fight them, but embrace them. If I were to be attracted to a man, there wouldn’t be any problems,” Rocca shared. “Would I give myself to a man? Well, if I liked a man, yes, absolutely, I’d accept his advances; I wouldn’t have any problems. I like women. But I’m absolutely open; in fact, I don’t even think it’s a question of openness, but rather that it’s a natural thing; that is, respecting your instincts, what you like, what you feel. I saw even more closely a world of passion, talent, suffering, and love … In such a horrible world we live in, we still need to assert our rights, and if we take these rights away from someone else, we don’t complain when they take them away from us. Love has no gender or race… love is just love.”

Those last four words just say it all: love is just love.

And wherever you find it, in whomever you find it, it’s not wrong.

Tim Walz, former candidate for Vice President, responding to KKKarolying Leavitt saying Democrats are “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals”:

“Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people. The White House says outrageous things to make you hate your neighbor. Your neighbor isn’t the problem. The White house is.”

Cankles, Pee Wee German, KKKarolying Leavitt, Pammy Jo Bondi and Kristi the Dog Killer, and all the other sycophants and enablers, liars and cheats,  are the problem.

Jack Schlossberg, Democrat candidate for New York's 12th congressional district in the 2026, on Cankles fixation with the Kennedy name:

“{He] is so  obsessed with the Kennedys and the Kennedy name that he caged one and put it in his cabinet—a rabid dog in his cabinet. Put a collar on my cousin RFK Jr. and has him there barking, spreading lies and misinformation.”

Rabid dog is right, frothing at the mouth as he spews his ignorance but Cankles looks the other way because he hears Kennedy.

Tom Nichols, professor emeritus of national security affairs at the US Naval War College, speaking truth about Cankles:

“One of the things that genuinely mystifies me: [He] is one of the least masculine, least adult people in public life. Needy, whiny, defensive, pleading, scared of women, terrified of more powerful men. I am at a loss as to why his bases sees him as manly or strong.”

And yet he’s really just a Piggy.

Beto O’Rourke, outspoken Democrat who may be running for Senate in Texas, on the idea of being ‘nice’:

“While you’re twiddling your thumbs and playing nice and trying to be bipartisan they are killing your fucking country and taking away our Democracy. We are either going to fight or we are going to surrender, and I plan on fighting.”

Fight, Beto, but do it. Stand up and speak up and fight, rather than just talking. Don’t plan on fighting, start fighting.

Walk the walk. Resist!

Josh Stein, North Carolina Democrat Attorney General, on the ICEstapo arresting immigrants in Charlotte:

“We’ve seen masked, heavily armed agents in paramilitary garb driving unmarked cars, targeting American citizens based on their skin color, racially profiling, and picking up random people in parking lots and off of our sidewalks. This is not making us safer. It’s stoking fear and dividing our community.”

The Department of Homeland Security has said it’s focusing on North Carolina because of so-called sanctuary policies to protect immigrants from the terrorists in the ICEstapo.

One of the first things we need to do when the regime is gone, is put Kristi Noem on trial for the atrocities she let happen, she encouraged, she condoned..

Laura Dern, actor, on being a gay icon:

"There's nothing more incredible! I am honored to have incredible support. My origin story of really knowing the connection I was privileged to be a part of was Ellen's 'Puppy Episode.' It's so crazy that it wasn't that long ago and far more open of a time to explore story in so many ways. My connection came through letters! What that episode meant to so many people. In fact, a letter from a grandmother who was thanking Ellen and I for helping her get closer to and understand her grandson was one of my favorite letters that I ever received. We can work together to open up a sense of compassion and empathy that sadly is not there from those who live in fear. To be welcomed into community, for me, has been the greatest gift ever! That means the world."

Even in 1997, which wasn’t all that long ago, it was quite daring, quite a stance, for Laura Dern to play a lesbian on television in one of the biggest TV episodes ever. And she did it, and her career didn’t tank. In fact, she gained an entirely new fan base who welcome her and accepted her.

  1. Looking forward, we know we are going to hear the failing defense of "I was only following orders" those that gave the orders will have no excuse.

  3. Tim Walz said it best, it is the White House that is the current problem. IQ45 is leading a pack of idiots and it shows.

    πŸ‘πŸ‘ Yah! Gilles Rocca! We all are both male and female. If we recognize our innate androgyny, we let our full selves be known and we are more interesting friends!
    πŸ‘πŸ‘ Yah! Josh Stein! See it; say it; fight it!
    And I'll bet that Puppy-killer Noem thinks it's hilarious that they are calling this "Operation Charlotte's Web!" Nobody who has read the book or seen TV and movie productions of the story thinks it's funny! E. B. White's granddaughter sure doesn't and neither do opinion writers! * 🀬
    πŸ‘πŸ‘ Yah! Beto! He worked hard for his El Paso constituents (like me!)! He works hard for Texans and everybody else! If he throws his hat into the upcoming Dem primary for US Senate, I think he'll win. Much stronger voice than Allred or Talarico. Best chance to beat that disgusting Beast, TX AG Ken "Trump-licker" Paxton! πŸ‘ΉπŸ’©

    1. We need people to speak out, about the regime, about the LGBTQ+ community, gender, gender identity, and love

  6. Great set of quotations this morning!

  7. To think that Americans decided to have JD Vance over Tim Walz. Ugh.
    Well Texas chose that maniac in a wheelchair over Beto, so there's that.
    And that description of Piggy? Perfect. There's trouble when Lady G seems more masculine than the president.

    XOXO

  9. We all know politics is a dirty business, a dog eat dog pursuit, but democracy is being defiled, and the White House should be painted black.

  10. You're right; plastic Barbie is a liar. So much so, I'm surprised that her crucifix doesn't melt on her plastic chest.

    And they’ll get away with their treason as Trump will give all of them a pardon and pardon himself. The Gang of Six at the un-Supreme Court placed Trump above the law and here we are.

  12. Great selection.

    A few thoughts:

    *Gilles has the right attitude. I love it. Love is love. He reminds me of a trainer at my gym whom I see often. He is masculine as all get-out and constantly talks about his wife. I treat him like a sweet man—I always ask about him and how he’s doing. He shares bits here and there. He went through a health scare recently, and I was regularly checking up on him and making sure he was progressing. One day, he came up to me and said his wife told him he should show more of his sensitive side. Okay. He wanted to thank me for caring for him during the health concern and said it meant a lot to him. He hugged me. I wasn’t shocked—he’s a nice-natured guy and always in a good mood—but he usually plays that masculine, “I’m alpha” role. It was sweet.

    *Tim has the right perspective.

    *Jack is coming into his own. I like his gravitas.

    *Tom has a great point. The man will not get dirty for the life of him. Mussolini Don does not scream masculine. He’s not someone you gravitate toward for friendship. He’s selfish, self-centered, greedy, masochistic—the list goes on. Let’s just say he’d watch you cross the street, see a car coming, say nothing, and then walk away after you got hit.

    *Beto has the right attitude. We have to match the game they’re playing, but do it with style, grace, and sensitivity. And if we have to knock a few heads, so be it. Sometimes a bully has to be put back on its heels. Besides, Beto is cute and can say anything. I’m just waiting for the Playgirl spread.

    *Josh has a point. I can’t bear to see any of the thugs going after people of color just because they’re brown. The videos I’ve seen are heart-wrenching. The agents are throwing out standard policy and procedure and acting like we’re living in a dictatorship. I’m surprised there isn’t more outcry from our elected officials. Folks on the ground are taking things into their own hands—patrolling their neighborhoods, buying whistles, setting up encrypted neighborhood chats, holding training sessions on how to interact with agents and what their rights are, and so on. I heard an elected official say something the other day that made me stop. They said it’s up to the American people to speak up and demand accountability from this administration. Yes, that’s true in part, but what about their accountability as elected officials? We elected them to represent us and fight for us. Get in the game and quit passing the buck.

    Have a great weekend.
