  1. This is terrifying. It lays out everything we should fear from our government. And yet, after trump, not surprising.

  2. Thank you. I’ve been saying this for the last several months (obviously not the part about this recent shooter, but it should be obvious that “events” like this would, and still will happen). I’ve also been saying that the January 6 Insurrection was a “trial run”, maybe not for those who were there that day, but to the planners, and something, possibly much worse will happen again this coming January. We are in for a bumpy few months, and I think we all need to keep our eyes wide open wherever we go, and, as the saying goes: “If you see something (especially on Election Day) Say something. Have your Voter’s Registration Office number on speed-dial if you go into one of the long lines and into a polling place. Be prepared to call them and the police if you see anyone who is questioning voters about their eligibility (ask them if they are certified to be able to do that) or if anyone is acting strangely.

  3. Yes, it has been wildly successful for conservatives, and the wealthy, as they have created several generations of an easily duped and controllable population. Unfortunately, it has been disastrous for the students, as is evidenced by some of the comments here. It saddens me so much, because an educated populace creates a much stronger and politically healthier nation. This does not bode well for the future of our country.

  4. Thank you, Leeja. This is a brilliant breakdown, as are all of your videos. - New subscriber Also, maybe I’m a “bad person” for saying this (and, of course, I really don’t care), but as a Second Wave Feminist, no matter how dead she stays, I will always hate Phyllis Mother-Fucking Schlafly.

  5.  @msjkramey Because that was a legal agreement between the government and churches, basically: as long as you keep your political views out of your churches and your sermons, you don’t have to pay taxes. But now many church leaders/preachers are doing just that. They’re even telling their congregation who to vote for (and I think you can guess who they’re telling them to vote for). If they’re now doing that, they should have to pay taxes.

  6.  @777Treeoflife The Bible does NOT teach against abortion, and Jesus never, not once, even mentioned either homosexuality or abortion. The problem is these people (evangelicals) are using the name “Christian” for their identity, as the word “Christian” is derived from Christ, as in, based on Jesus’ teachings, which are all in the New Testament. However, they don’t seem to bother much with the actual teachings of Jesus, but seem to prefer Old Testament vindictiveness and vengeful attitudes (“an eye for an eye” type teachings), which do teach against homosexuality, but never mentions a negative attitude toward abortion (so they use “Thou Shall Not Murder” which is one of the, again, Old Testament, teachings to cover their beliefs.

  7. We also need to vote blue for every single office, state, county and local, all the way down to dogcatcher, and especially school board members. While you’re at it (saving our democracy), help anyone you can, especially college students and other young people, to register to vote if they haven’t done so yet. If you don’t know how to do that, call your local Voter Registration office and I’m sure they will be happy to help you in any way they can. This is on us now. Step Up!

  8.  @donjindra  Just remember how Mussolini (and Hitler) ended up. You can Google the photo of Mussolini’s “end”. I don’t think they ever found all the pieces of Hitler to photograph.

  9.  @emberwilliams8902 That reminds me of one of my favorite sayings: “Feminism: the radical concept that women are people”. It’s really that simple.

  10.  @schnozchan6606  I’m so glad they were still teaching that when you were in high school. It seems that a lot of people were never taught about that, because, otherwise, how are so many people even MAGA? I just don’t get it.

  11.  @lakorai2  Most everyone who isn’t an already established fascist ruler, or riding on trump’s coattails, is mild in comparison. And JD Vance is at least as bad as him. He just has no “charisma”.

  14.  @ShawnC.W-King When I saw the comment “I’m a nice guy”, I also immediately thought of a man saying “Trust me”. I’ve learned, the hard way, that 99% of the guys who say “Trust me” to a woman should NEVER be trusted. It gives me the same feeling.

  16. THIS is why you’re my favorite YouTube channel to watch, Leeja! You always bring up such great subjects and have great information. I always feel smarter after watching you. Thank you! You certainly nailed it in this one.

  17.  @tesmith47  They can be. I’m more like an atheist/rationalist/spiritualist. I know, confusing. I know there’s “something” more than this, but it sure as hell isn’t what the usual religious books or faiths describe. That BS is just way too small and controlling for me.

  18. Or police departments absolving their officers of murdering a citizen. Happens all the time, unfortunately. Hence the saying: “We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong”.

  19.  @onedominant  “Sewed her shut” is a very inaccurate (and probably old-fashioned) and misleading phrase. They probably gave her a hysterectomy, which is the removal of the uterus, and sometimes, also the ovaries.

  20. And some of the conservative men now want to take away women’s right to vote! (I heard that from a “Christian” pastor whose name, I think is Josh Webbon, not sure about the first name. Saw it on Thom Hartmann). I guess overturning Roe v. Wade wasn’t damaging enough to women. Not happening on my watch!
    3
  21.  @StuartcDundas Then I guess she doesn’t want to have her mail brought to her; she won’t call the police or fire departments if she’s burglarized or her house is on fire; she would never consider using a library; never go to a park, local, state or national; not get a vaccine in case of a pandemic (although she may feel that way about that anyway); she may not want to obey stop signs or lights. And I’m sure she’d be willing to give up her Social Security as well (even Ayn Rand collected Social Security!), and I’m sure that if she still works, she will be willing to give up overtime pay if her boss asks her to work extra hours, or sick pay or unemployment benefits, or any number of other “socialized” programs we have because we pay taxes to benefit from them, right? That’s just sad.

  22.  @3000MrGian  Democratic Socialism is better, at least for The People, as opposed to the very wealthy and, now, corporations.

  23. Thank you for this, Leeja. More people need to hear it. I voted for Kamala last week in a drop-box ballot, and because I live in CA, they already sent me an email telling me that my ballot was received and counted! As I am a senior who grew up shortly after WWII, and my father was military (USAF), I grew up learning about the horrors of fascism and Hitler’s reign of terror, so I “saw trump coming”, as the saying goes. And, obviously, as he grew in power, and felt even more comfortable saying what he was thinking, those similarities continued to grow. It seems that somehow, in the 70s or 80s young people in the U.S. quit learning about Hitler and fascism (could it have been because of the educational system??), because if they knew anything about it, I don’t see how they could possibly vote for trump. Just yesterday, I got the absolute strangest reply to a comment I made about trump and fascism on a YouTube video, and someone actually replied, “It won’t be so bad. You’ll get used to it.” Dear god! That reminded of something a psychopath in a movie would say to his victim right before he mutilates them.

  24. Religious and spiritual are not necessarily synonymous.

  25.  @modvavet Then again, I don’t believe it’s always, or even often, the content creator who is removing comments. I think YT and it’s algorithms are doing it as well, or even another entity. For example, there are certain comments I make on a specific subject (particularly about the lack of inclusion in the Constitution of the Equal Rights Amendment and its connection to the loss of reproductive rights) that almost always get removed on several different channels, so, it can’t simply be a specific content creator. Likewise, when I make certain comments about women’s rights, no matter where I post them, I almost always get very specific negative replies that are obviously from red-pill type groups or individuals, so I think there are some programs some people have installed that target specific words about women’s rights so they can be notified and come back with counter comments, often very nasty ones.

  26.  @aprildawnsunshine4326 You’re right about history, and they’re not just entertainment stories, they’re often propaganda. As the old saying goes, “history is written by the victors”. Imagine how different our U.S. history would appear if there had been a few books written by Native Americans.

  27.  @aprildawnsunshine4326  Good points.I will look for the videos by PBS, thank you. And I agree about music; in my generation we were told that rock and roll, including black music, was “the devil’s music”. I always knew that was BS! I’m a Classic R&R and early Motown (Temptations, etc.) person myself. Yeah, I’m old, but I got to see Janis Joplin in concert, and David Bowie, among many others.

  28. I have never understood American’s obsession with celebrity. Yes, there are actors I like, or even admire, but that doesn’t mean I think they’re qualified to be a President, or even a Governor. Yet, we have Reagan, Schwarzenegger and trump as such “sterling” examples of celebrities being idolized to the point of getting elected. And all three were literally horrible as politicians! And people still lionize them. I just don’t get it. But then, I can remember when JFK was running for President (yes, I’m old!), and, as a very young girl, I overheard women saying, “Ooh, he’s so cute” (or gorgeous; pick your swooning adjective), “I’m going to vote for him! Even at that age, I thought, “Are you kidding me?? I don’t care if he looks like Quasimodo, as long as he can run the country well”. I can still hardly comprehend the shallowness of the American people, even though I’ve seen so many examples of it on display my entire life. Leeja, please also do a video about the Koch brothers, Charles and David, the devils who gave Reagan so many neoliberal ideas, for example, the destruction of our educational system that spurred “the dumbing down of America”. (Because uneducated people are so much easier to indoctrinate. “I love the uneducated!”…Donald Trump quote, of course). They, and their baby, The Heritage Foundation, seem to be the foundation of every terrible political “new idea” that has been a serious disaster for our country. And, maybe throw in there how their father was a leading early member of the John Birch Society, and all they did to create “The Southern Strategy” that got Nixon elected, just like the Moral Majority did for Reagan. They’ve had their fingers in the American pie for many decades. (And yes, I know that one of the Koch brothers died, but, I believe his son is an important leader in their policies now). Thanks.

  34.  @jedahn What on earth is “a female equivalent to Andrew Tate”??? I’ve ever known of a woman who beats up or even slaps around guys on the regular, rapes them, or sells them into prostitution rings (or creates her own prostitution ring with them). That is just not a thing.

  36. Don’t give up, Leeja! We need you and your outspoken and honest way, dispensing wisdom on and into us, giving us information we need in these dark, soon to get darker times. We all need to stick together because in doing so, we can spread our own little amount of energy to each other, and grow that energy by replicating it amongst ourselves, and becoming strong again, because there will always be work to do. And we will have much work to do, and we need the energy and confidence to carry it off. But we can’t do it alone, especially now when we feel so broken and gutted, and with so little hope for the future. So, we all need to take a break for a few days, go outside and hug a tree and put our barefoot feet in grass and joyfully embrace the energy that Gaia gives us. And/or read an inspiring book or make art, or anything that makes you feel calmer and more able to focus again. We can take this on, we HAVE to take this on because giving up is NOT an option. Just take some time to allow our energy to reinfuse our bodies and souls. We love you immensely, and immensely appreciate your intellect and ability to help us understand things that seem incomprehensible, which you can clarify to make us really get it.o’, I’m getting too gooey here because I’m very sleepy, and I tend to get philosophical at this time. Bottom line: we CAN do this because we are NOT GOING BACK.!

  37. I can relate to that, even as a woman (and I’m quite a bit older, and retired, too, and that really makes a difference, as well). When I retired, I had a nice, smallish group of women friends, and we went out together (lunch, shopping at thrift stores, had small parties, etc.). Along the way, one or two would drop off (a couple literally died, but some who didn’t die just went their own way). I often think it started with the pandemic along with trump, but it really started before then, but I can’t put my finger on the reason. People/society really started changing, especially in the mid 2010s. It seems people got overly sensitive and could no longer take a joke (though the jokes were never malicious, and they’d always been able to take them before), and would take offense at even the littlest things others would say or do, and didn’t want to see the other person anymore. It was like I had been shifted into a different dimension, and I’m still reeling from it. I was always outgoing and friendly and made friends easily, but now, even with being outgoing and friendly, no one seems to want to make new friends anymore. Do people really trust others so little nowadays? Life has just changed, and trump and the pandemic didn’t help the social situation any. I have one friend left (other than my husband and my cat) who was my best friend in high school (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth!) and we call and email , but we live about 1500 miles apart, so we can’t get together very often. I miss my friendships, but I, fortunately, love to read, and really enjoy the company of my books. I’m also thinking of taking up painting, so that might be fun. I think I’ll look for classes. Do you have a dog that you can walk around your neighborhood, and/or a dog park? Dogs are not only great companions, but they can sometimes lead to meeting new people when you’re out walking them. You’re still fairly young, so I think you’re just going to have to get yourself out there. I loved the idea someone here presented of doing open mic nights since you’re a musician. Good luck. I wish you many new friendships and have much joy in them.

  38. Excellent video, Leeja! You have done this woman, and us, a great service. So glad to have her ideas and views in the public view. I am shocked at how our government and nation are pushing for a far-right, Christian governmental system. For one, I was stunned to read that the Supreme Court decided that public school funds (taxpayer dollars) may now also be used for Charter (Christian) schools. And I’ve always said that most of us on the left, especially women, see The Handmaid’s Tale as a warning, whereas the Right-wing, especially the radical Christians, see the same book as a blueprint. I think their multiple laws against abortion for any reason are a classic example. They like to say it’s not because of religious reasons, but not only is it obvious that it is, if you question them about their reasons, they will end up telling you that’s how it really is. We need to stem this tide as this is becoming too similar to late 1930s Germany, and we know what happened there. Oh, and I’m also an Aries, like Madelyn Murray O’Hare, and I’m almost as outspoken as her, not to mention that I’m also a redhead, although she was not (at least I don’t think so as it’s hard to tell in black and white photos, or after her hair turned white). Leeja, I don’t think you talked about her being an Aries, as you had promised. If you did, I’m sorry to say that I missed it.

  40.  @3000MrGian Funny, but atheists and agnostics and even members of the current Satanic Temple (who do NOT actually worship Satan at all) have shown that a person can have excellent morals, and ethics, at least as much, if not more than many people who, literally, only profess to be Christian yet commit despicable acts.

  41. I’m a little upset about this “free” gift. This has happened to me twice, you can’t get your free gift unless you buy something else for full price with, I believe, a minimum of $69. I feel like this is a bait and switch as I really don’t more than one of these products, and I can’t see paying $69. for a product I’m not interested in. Is this a scam? You said it’s a free gift from them to your viewers, and, since it’s not free when you’re forced to buy something else, I don’t understand how that’s legal. Have I misunderstood the purchasing system? Is there a code to relieve your viewers of the unwanted second product? Also, I’m in a very tight budget, and, of course, for sounds good to me, but any additional charge of that size simply won’t fit into my budget. Thanks for any insight and help.

  42.  @mkucstars1 Especially since they stand to inherit it soon if we don’t destroy it altogether. I think they’d prefer that we didn’t do that, but I think they’re going to have to be a lot more clear and open about that message if they want us to listen.

  43.  @quacks2much I believe you because in 1968 I, and a handful of other people, also something. It was “just” several (maybe 6 or 7) lights in the sky, but the way they were closely grouped and, after about 10 minutes changed color then disappeared, it certainly wasn’t something our military had. Someone in our group called the local radio station about them and some “expert” said it was undoubtedly swamp gas (of course!), but swamp gas doesn’t fly up to an altitude of 500 to 1000 feet, nor does it change color then disappear all at once. Funny thing, though, the nearby Air Force, or somebody, sent up a helicopter to investigate, but, of course again, not until they had already been gone for about ten minutes.

  44. They may believe in the “warrior” Jesus from Revelations, yet not one of them questions whether trump might be the literal Antichrist described in the same book. I’m not a believer, but I think if anyone fit that description, it would be trump.

  45. What’s amazing is that so many people still totally believe in the source and everything included in the oldest and most widespread propaganda in history, the Bible.

  47. It was with the mass shooting at a children’s Christian school that I learned that that school, as well as other Christian schools, is publicly funded, meaning funded with taxpayer dollars. Shortly after this, I learned that pregnancy crisis centers, the fake women’s centers that lie to women about abortion and practically force them not to have an abortion (by delaying their knowledge that they don’t actually do abortions until the woman is past the legal date for termination) are also funded by state tax dollars. How do these groups get past the “Lemon Law”? How do they get away with using taxpayer dollars to run their operations when they are clearly religious, “Christian”, organizations? Can anyone answer this for me, and can you tell me how we can legally challenge this practice? And what group would be best suited to legally challenge it? Thanks.

  48. Not true! They’ve been reported in almost every country in the world. There’s a great one from England (see Rendelsham Forest (not sure of the spelling. And it was on a U.S. base there), and there’s a good one from an elementary school in Kenya, and also in Australia, plus many, many others. While I think a lot of those reports might be complete BS, there are others that are mighty darn hard to disprove.
