Also,

"The State Legislature shall cause to be enacted a State Constitutional Amendment creating an electoral college consisting of electors selected by the popular votes cast within each individual state senatorial district, who shall then elect all statewide office holders.”

So basically a roundabout way of disenfranchising voters.

Who knew Kristi was a day drinker?

Another republican who lied about her back-story, but republicans don't care.

1) she claimed that the Estate (death) tax almost destroyed her Mom's family ranch (resort) when her father died.

Spoiler:

she admits that mom was alive; therefore no estate tax due

Looks like the Georgia Guide stones have been completely destroyed. Someone planted an explosive and destroyed a portion of them. Authorities decided to destroy the rest of them for safety reasons.

A while back, one of the GOP candidates for Georgia gov, Kandiss Taylor, campaigned on destroying them if she became governor.

I don't support what's written on the stones, but I think it was a neat roadside attraction, and literally the only reason I'd ever visit Elberton Georgia.

Ever since Eric Greitens came out with his stupid ass video touting his "RINO hunting license" I've been sending him hate email. Most of it calls him a fascist shithead, a brain addled trump junkie, and just a general dumbass. I've also teased about "can't you find any women or kids to beat up on, asshole?" stuff. Anyway, this morning.....approx four hours after my last missive, I got an email that tells me "continued harassment will result in a block." Well, after I got through laughing I fired off another blast explaining how calling out fascist assholes as fascist assholes is NOT harassment. I went on to explain that our country fought a war against fascist assholes back in the 1940's and asked him why he hates America. I suppose I'll be blocked and double blocked for my impertinence. Fuck those guys.

Georgia Guidestones

If I'd know about it I might have stopped on one of my trips to Atlanta.

Inscriptions

Pretty whitebread stuff. Nothing overtly pagan other than the lunar/solar alignment, a feature of human culture for thousands of years, not to mention placing the "birth" of Jesus near the Winter Solstice.

Interpretations

One interpretation of the stones is that they described the basic concepts required to rebuild a devastated civilization. Author Brad Meltzer notes that the stones were built in 1979 at the height of the Cold War, and thus argues that they may have been intended as a message to the possible survivors of a nuclear World War III. The engraved suggestion to keep humanity's population below 500 million could have been made under the assumption that war had already reduced humanity below this number.

Yoko Ono said the inscribed messages were "a stirring call to rational thinking".

Ah, rationality, no wonder Kandiss Taylor hoped to go all fascist Gov on it.

Conspiracy theories

The guidestones became a subject of interest for conspiracy theorists. Wired stated that unspecified opponents have labeled them as the "Ten Commandments of the Antichrist". Some conservative Christians have called the monument satanic.

Right-wing activist Mark Dice demanded that the guidestones "be smashed into a million pieces, and then the rubble used for a construction project", claiming that the guidestones are of "a deep Satanic origin", and that R. C. Christian belongs to "a Luciferian secret society" related to the New World Order. At the unveiling of the monument, a local minister proclaimed that he believed the monument was "for sun worshipers, for cult worship and for devil worship". None of these critics provided any evidence of their claims....

WTF is wrong with these people?!

So, will anything more happen? I'll guess not. However, if this was a Christian edifice we would already be seeing:
Shouts of "Terrorism!"
The FBI visibly on scene, Taylor, etc hauled in for Gitmo-style interrogations
Taylor, etc condemned as if they were al Qaeda enablers
Elbert County announcing plans to rebuild
A GoFundMe for rebuilding

Moore tossed

"NEW YORK (Reuters) -Sacha Baron Cohen on Thursday defeated an appeal by former Alabama judge Roy Moore who had accused the British comedian of defamation for falsely portraying him as a pedophile in an interview for the show "Who Is America?"

In a 3-0 vote, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said the interview was constitutionally protected speech, agreeing with a lower court judge that it was "clearly comedy and that no reasonable viewer would conclude otherwise."

The court also said Moore waived his right to pursue his $95 million lawsuit by signing a standard consent agreement before the interview, which he knew would be televised. It also dismissed related claims by Moore's wife, Kayla.

Larry Klayman, the Moores' lawyer, called the decision a "travesty,"'

Eric Greitens' gun ads are a disturbing paean to political violence
The scandal-plagued Missouri senate candidate is brazenly calling for right-wing vigilante violence.



Republican political candidates have been brandishing their guns with such regularity in campaign ads during this primary season that it’s almost become unremarkable. But two such recent ads from Eric Greitens, the leading Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Missouri, have managed to cause widespread shock for the way they blatantly call for violence in politics.

"leading" Not by much, though. It's a 3-way RepuQ race:
Republican Primary: August 2, 2022
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epoll ... -7573.html

I presume that Kunce is the likely Dem candidate. Greitens doesn't do as well against him as the other RepuQs, but he's still leading by 3.5%.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epoll ... -7579.html

In his ads, Greitens openly calls for right-wing vigilante violence against moderate Republicans and the political establishment, and has little else to say about policy or ideology. They showcase how some anti-establishment Republicans see straightforward calls for authoritarian violence as a political lane unto itself.

Greitens is no stranger to controversy. In 2018, just a little more than a year after he became the governor of Missouri, he resigned after allegations of sexual misconduct and charges of campaign finance impropriety. And this spring he was accused of domestic abuse by his ex-wife. Nonetheless, he’s been the front-runner in the Republican primary for Senate. And against that backdrop, he’s chosen in the past few weeks to dive headlong even further into controversy.

In the first ad, released in late June, Greitens depicts himself breaking into a house with a group of men wearing camouflage fatigues as they go “RINO hunting.”(RINO is an acronym for Republican in Name Only, and is used pejoratively against Republicans deemed too moderate.)

“Get a RINO hunting permit. There's no bagging limit, no tagging limit and it doesn't expire until we save our country,” Greitens says to the camera.

The ad was such an explicit call to violence that Facebook removed it and Twitter restricted engagement with the video and appended a notice to it saying that even though it violated Twitter’s rules on abusive content, it was keeping the ad up because it was “in the public’s interest.

I'm not joining Twitter just to get past the age restriction. Ad #2:

... Greitens has received some Republican criticism for his ads, but not widespread condemnation. And while some establishment Republican operatives have backed a super PAC to attack his candidacy, their calculation seems to be fueled by concern over his vulnerability to loss in a general election contest rather than a repudiation of his calls for violence. That’s a shame, because as political scientists have made clear, allowing these kinds of messages to become normalized is terribly dangerous for our political future.

"Mystery Intensifies as Georgia Guidestones Time Capsule Opened by Elbert Officials- (Elberton, Ga)

Today officials with the Elbert County Historical Society, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and Federal Bureau of Investigation exhumed and opened the Georgia Guidestones Time Capsule.
"Now that the Guidestones have been destroyed, we felt it was appropriate to open the time capsule buried at the base of the monument," said Charles Smith, President of the Elbert County Historical Society. "We hoped its contents would help shed light on the builders of the monument."
Unfortunately the time capsule, which was buried early in 1980, did little to answer questions about the orgins of the Guidestones.
"The time capsule only held four items," explained Sheriff Melvin Andrews. "A single eight track tape of 'Saturday Night Fever', a Peterbilt emblem, a October 1979 Playboy magazine signed by Burt Reynolds, and a bag containing 1,734 Quallude pills."
"We really don't know what to make of this assemblage of items," said Charles Smith. "It will take weeks to determine the common thread that runs through these items."
"The current street value of the 1,500 Quallude pills is in the range of $2,000,000 USD," said Senior Agent Tom Hensley of the FBI.
"The Sheriff's Office has allowed the historical society to maintain control of the magazine, tape, and Peterbilt emblem but, the 1,300 Quallude pills will be placed in our evidence locker in Gainesville," said Mary Alexander with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Sheriff Melvin Andrews added, "After testing, the GBI plans to release the 1,000 pills back to the Sheriff's Office, where they will be destroyed."
The public is being encouraged to submit any theories regarding the time capsule items to the Elbert County Historical Society, Elberton, Ga. Please email: chamber@elbertga.com"

I hadn't realized thar Qualludes were up to $1,000 each, but if that's what Senior Agent Tom Hensley of the FBI says they're worth, it's gotta be so.

Where do they get this crap?

[O Really]

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a lot controversial in the inscriptions. Not much substantial, either, if you apply the least amount of practical logistics to them. You'd have to have a world population that was willing to cooperate under one ruling body (as if), and then you negate that with "Let all nations rule internally..."

Sure the population control and "guide reproduction" seems a bit out there, but this wasn't for current times - remember it was for after some apocalypse when hardly anything in the current world would still apply.

I'd never heard of the Georgia Guidestones before, nor for that matter Elberton GA. But I probably would have taken a short side trip to go see them.
