Flying this holiday season? via Nameless.tv

The days of going high when they go low are over.
At least it is for the Progress Action Fund PAC—if their latest ad is any indication.
According to their website:
"Progress Action Fund runs hard-hitting ads to defeat Republicans in swing districts, including the viral and critically acclaimed ad 'Keep Republicans Out Of Your Bedroom'."
"When Republicans go low, we go lower, because in politics you have to put your opponent on defense & shape the narrative. As President Lyndon Johnson said, 'while you’re saving your face, you’re losing your ass'."
Reportedly designed to speak to 18-29 year old males, other demographics might find their latest ad a bit crude. In it, a pair of working men go to the supply closet at work and get an eyeful.
You can see the ad here:
The ad opens with the two workers complaining about high taxes. When they open the supply closet door they see their Republican Congressmember on his knees in front of a moaning man in a suit.
The GOP Congressman turns to look at the workers and says:
"I’m fundraising for reelection and servicing my sugar daddy and lowering his taxes."
One of the workers replies:
"You said you were going to lower our taxes, man."
To which the member of Congress responds:
"Sorry. You didn’t give me any money."
The ad ends with the Republican politician returning to his job.
People appreciated the ad's blunt approach.
This graphic new ad aims to convince young men that Republican lawmakers are literally blowing their tax dollars on wealthy donors. I wonder if they realise that #tariffs are taxes too? www.thedailybeast.com/shocking-new...

They don't like it because it's true and shows how horrible they are. They deserve to be embarrassed and called out.

This is absolutely the most accurate representation of republican political behavior I’ve ever seen.

The Progress Action Fund PAC demonstrates a willingness to fight fire with fire, insult with insult, on the part of progressives.
For fans of the ad, the attitude adjustment is welcome and long overdue.
GOP strategist and CNN commentator Scott Jennings was criticized for hypocrisy by fellow panelist Jay Michaelson after claiming that President Donald Trump is "standing up" for Jewish students and combating antisemitism in ordering a funding freeze for Harvard University.
Since returning to office, Trump has made reshaping higher education a priority, threatening to pull federal research funding unless universities fall in line. His administration’s new rules—set to take effect by August 2025—target everything from DEI programs to international student admissions, while demanding “viewpoint” diversity and threatening to shut down noncompliant departments.
Harvard isn’t having it. On Monday, the university became the first major institution to push back, accusing the White House of trying to “control” its community.
President Alan Garber said the demands violate First Amendment protections and “threaten our values” as a private institution. “No government,” he said, should be telling universities “what…to teach, whom…to admit and hire,” or what to research.
After Harvard rejected the administration’s demands, the Department of Education’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism hit back—freezing $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and another $60 million in contracts.
But to hear Jennings tell it, Trump attacking the nation's oldest university is entirely justified:
“I mean, I believe that what’s happened on these campuses in the Ivy League and in other places, mostly private institutions, has been an abomination. And someone has to stand up for these Jewish kids."
You can watch what happened in the video below.
Michaelson replied:
“It’s not gonna be the rabbi at the table.”
Jennings continued:
“Until Donald Trump came along and his administration and decided to connect federal funds to stamping out the scourge of anti-Semitism on these campuses—”
But Michaelson interrupted, noting that rapper Kanye West brought white nationalist and antisemite Nick Fuentes to a dinner with Trump in November 2022.
“Nobody — nobody, nobody was willing to stand up for them,” Jennings said, as Michaelson jumped in with references to “the Sieg Heil salute” and “standing up for Alliance for Deutschland,” pointing to billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk’s public defense of Germany’s far-right party, known for espousing neo-Nazi rhetoric.
Jennings argued that the American people don't want a private university with a "$53 billion endowment to get $1" while Jewish students face discrimination on campus. Michaelson dismissed the remark as "a joke. What a complete joke." When Jennings pressed, asking why, Michaelson shot back that Republicans are "nowhere" on the issue, claiming they have "white supremacists in your party and in your administration."
Jennings was swiftly called out for backing the administration—which is clearly more antisemitic than not.
Jennings' defense of the administration came just days after Trump diverted from a conversation about Israeli hostages being held by Hamas and commended Nazis who he claimed showed "love" to Holocaust victims.
Trump made the remarks during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office after he was asked by reporters about his plan to secure the release of the 59 Israeli hostages being held in Gaza by Hamas.
These remarks effectively deny that the Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its allies from 1933 to 1945, across Europe and North Africa. The peak of this violence took place during World War II. By the war’s end in 1945, nearly two out of every three European Jews had been killed by the Nazis and their collaborators.
Nature is truly amazing.
When a 5.2-magnitude earthquake shook Southern California on Monday, humans braced themselves with the grade school-taught drill to "drop, cover, and hold on." But a herd of African elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, California, coordinated their own "alert circle" drill to stand and protect the herd against seismic danger.
You can see the powerful moment caught by the zoo's security cameras below:
- YouTubeyoutu.be
The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance explained that the three matriarch elephants, named Ndlula, Umngani, and Khosi, quickly huddled around the 7-year-old calves, Zuli and Mkhaya, as a natural response to a potential threat.
They added:
"Elephants have the ability to feel sound through their feet. This video demonstrates the strong social family structure in elephant herds."
African elephants (Loxodonta africana) are known to live in tight-knit groups based around a lead female of the herd. If the matriarch senses danger, she'll lead the herd in an outward-facing circle. Mindy Albright, the curator of mammals at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, explained that "they sort of freeze as they gather information about where the danger is."
On NPR's program All Things Considered, Joshua Plotnik, an associate professor who studies elephant behavior at Hunter College in New York, remarked that this isn't the first incident of elephants' protective nature, as witnessed during the 2006 Boxing Day Tsunami in Southeast Asia.
"I've heard anecdotes...of elephants responding prior to the large tsunami waves reaching the shores of Thailand, for instance, of elephants retreating up to higher ground with other elephants."
Plotnik says the instinct to protect one another, as shown in the viral video, is a evolutionary strategy to band together when danger is near from predators, stampedes, and even Southern California earthquakes.
He also remarked on why understanding behaviors like this are so critical to protecting elephants, noting:
"The Asian and African elephants are in imminent danger of going extinct, and it's crucially important that we continue to learn more about their behavior and cognition if we're going to come up with ways to protect them and conserve them in the wild."
Elephant enthusiasts on social media found the "alert circle" footage to be incredibly heartwarming.

Others suggested that perhaps the elephant herd thought a stampede was incoming.

Sensing that the coast was clear, the herd went back to normal after about four minutes, but stayed close to one another.
Monday's earthquake struck three miles (five kilometers) south of Julian in San Diego County with no reported injuries or property damage to humans—or to elephants.
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned President Donald Trump at a rally in Nampa, Idaho, calling him a “criminal,” a liar, and a “rapist,” and reiterated her earlier statements that some members of Congress might have participated in insider trading after it was revealed that NASDAQ call volume spiked just minutes before Trump's tariffs pause announcement.
Ocasio-Cortez, who spoke alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, stressed that the pause was "all about manipulating the markets so that he could quietly enrich his friends who bought the dip before reversing it all in the morning."
She added:
"Boise, this is a matter of fact. Donald Trump is a criminal who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud! Liable for sexual abuse! Of course he’s lying and abusing and manipulating the stock market too!"
"When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror!"
The crowd roared in response.
You can hear what she said in the video below.
Ocasio-Cortez couldn't be clearer.
She is, after all, talking about same man who has spent years lying about the integrity of the 2020 election and was convicted last year on 34 felony counts, including falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election.
This is the same man who a jury ruled was responsible for the sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll, awarding her $5 million in damages as the appropriate consequences for Trump's persistent dissemination of false defamatory statements after Carroll said Trump had sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City.
Oh, and did we mention that this is the same man who has falsely claimed that President Joe Biden is behind his prosecution in the now-dismissed election interference case, and that he is the victim of a "witch hunt?" The same man who says he is entitled to personal attacks against his political opponents and suggested they be tried before military tribunals?
While that doesn't even scratch the surface—consider how Trump continues to attack democratic institutions and most recently is attempting to bend universities to his will—many agreed wholeheartedly with AOC's remarks.
Democrats have found it challenging to effectively respond to Trump, his billionaire ally Elon Musk, and congressional Republicans following their defeat in last year’s election.
Polling indicates that approval of the party and its congressional representatives is at record lows. However, Sanders' and Ocasio-Cortez's efforts seem to be gaining traction with many across the country. Tens of thousands of people have turned out at their rallies, which are part of the "Fight the Oligarchy" tour, across multiple states.
Last month, Ocasio-Cortez criticized Musk for questioning the legitimacy of the crowd at one of her rallies, advising he find a more "interesting conspiracy theory to peddle."
According to numerous studies and surveys, sexual compatibility is a significant factor in relationship satisfaction and overall well-being for most people.
Sex influences emotional connection, trust, and communication.
A lack of compatibility can lead to frustration and disconnection.
There's a wide spectrum of sex drives, from the completely asexual to demisexual, to gray-asexual, to low sex drive, to average, to high.
An asexual—people feel little to no sexual attraction to anyone—and someone with an extremely high sex drive are unlikely to fare well in a monogamous relationship. And people only slightly removed from each other on the scale of sexual arousal are more likely to be sexually compatible.
But what do people in these mismatched relationships think?
Reddit user cognito14 asked:
"How do you feel about having a higher sex drive than your partner? If so does it bother you?"
"It bothers me at times, but I just handle my own business."
~ sesco262
"In the same boat—it helps that my partner is cool with it."
"It's satisfying an appetite without violating the exclusivity of our intimacy."
"So my partner can let me know when they're feeling up for it, but never feel like they have to out of obligation."
~ NarcolepticEngineer7
"I’ve been with my wife for about 15 years, with 10 of that being married. The first 11-12 years were, frankly, a massive struggle on my end which heavily strained the relationship."
"We finally started scheduling sex 3-4 years ago, first once a month, then every two weeks, and for the last 2 years, once a week. I’d prefer 2-3 times a week with far more variety and spice in our sex life, but we have been doing well overall with once a week in part because our overall communication has grown in this same span."
"It can be absolute torture, especially if you let it affect the rest of the relationship like your friendship and overall communication. However I’ve always valued just about everything else about my partner (an amazing friendship, their kindness, their ability to parent our kids, etc...) that it was worth it in the end.
"I wish I could have communicated with her this well 10 years ago and wish we would have scheduled things then too, but hindsight is 20/20."
"Thanks to our communication and a bit of Zoloft for both of us (prescribed legitimately for depression/anxiety, but also helps me last longer and both of us to worry less about it) we are having the best sex of our lives for the last few months."
~ kedelbro
"It was frustrating at first, but it stopped bothering me after we talked it out properly, and I understood better what he was going through."
"I just take care of myself when he's not in the mood."
~ Frosting840
"My partner has become chronically ill. Before that we had an amazing sex life—multiple times a day, lots of kinks, etc... We haven’t had sex in 8 months and we probably never will again."
"It’s not that he’s physically unable to, his illness has just completely destroyed his sex drive. I love him, and I don’t plan on leaving him. But it’s absolutely devastating."
"My self-esteem has never been worse, and I feel disgusting whenever I have sexual thoughts. I’ve looked into chemically destroying my sex drive, and even returning to the church for the purity culture (I’m a raised Catholic turned atheist)."
"Overall it’s pretty horrible. I give it a 0/10."
~ AdvisorNo3594
"I have definitely struggled with it!"
"I don't feel actively resentful anymore, and I learned to stop taking it personally."
"I still very much wish it was different."
~ scurvy_knave
"It's tough."
"For one, I always have to initiate. That is fine, but it makes you feel like you're badgering them sometimes. Also, every now and then, it would be nice to be desired."
"Two, unless you're a great actor, it's very clear when you're only there because you have to be."
~ DAM5150
"This was the reason my last relationship ended."
"We were perfect for each other, but sex was so, so unromantic and transactional, and it hurt my heart every day."
"I'm terribly sorry for your situation, I truly empathize with you."
~ FrickekingFricker
"The constant rejection and continued sense of disinterest and being undervalued is a persistent drag. I'm sure she has sex with me largely because she feels like she needs to, but it's painfully perfunctory once it's over."
"No cuddling, no emotional declarations or relishing the moment of vulnerability and closeness. There's essentially no emotional content in it for her, I suspect."
"She has zero physical interest in me, and I hate it. We love each other and have a good life together so I tough it out, but it's a gaping hole in my existence."
~ Farts_McGee
"This happened to me, and I'm a woman married to a man... we've found solutions, but for more than a decade, I was the only one interested/initiating/wanting it, and it crushed me that a man wasn't reciprocating."
"Gendering this issue only causes more pain—all humans can lose the sense of importance of sex over time."
~ Sarita_777
"It also bothers me she gets it whenever she wants it, but I have to deal with the rejection and frustration when it doesn’t suit her."
"I’m about two years in now. Despite the first conversations revolving around the importance of intimacy, now it’s a very different tune."
"I honestly think that women change over time vs their comfort level in a relationship because I certainly don’t want her less, but she’s absolutely adjusted her own expectations."
"We’ve spoken about it several times, but honestly, I think the sex life with any lady in a relationship is hard-pressed making it past the 12-18 month mark.
"And it’s funny how their expectations change. Sorry, did you not have stress when we met and it suddenly developed, come on."
"Let me say this as gently as possible, but how can you tell a woman is enjoying sex?"
"Clearly many of the men responding to this can't. In contrast, it's pretty simple to tell when a man achieves penile orgasm."
"If your experience is 'all women' tap out on sex with you after 12-18 months, maybe it's not every single woman on Earth that's the issue."
"Why would a woman want to continue going through the motions/faking it with a man incapable of sexually satisfying her? That's the pretty obvious answer a lot of these comments are revealing."
"Try a sex therapist instead of blaming all women. Other couples maintain sexual intimacy, so this isn't an 'all women' problem. This pretty clearly points to it being a you problem."
~ MohawMais
"It makes me feel unwanted and rejected."
"It makes me feel like there is something wrong with me or that I am undeserving or undesirable."
~ ExternalTelevision75
"To each their own, but there's a lot more to life than sex."
"My parents divorced pretty soon after I was born and my Mom pretty much hated my Dad (infidelity on his part). I got the basic 1 day (the afternoon basically) a week with him plus alternating weekends, which sucks because he's always been this incredibly supportive and loving man."
"You can say it was easier to be Disneyland Dad that way, but that wasn't it, that's just him."
"I am a lot happier putting my sexual frustrations aside to stay together and try to be that man to my own son. The times that I'm really frustrated, I just have to reframe my mindset and focus on the positives."
"Quite honestly my son is my highest priority. And my wife is a very caring, loving partner and mother."
"I'm not sure we'd be together today if it wasn't for him, but only because I imagine we'd drift apart due to a lack of commonality. But he's our common factor."
"He's amazing and brilliant and funny. Having someone just as committed to him as I am means the world to me."
~ New-Ad-363
"I'm 5 times a week vs 2 times a year for my wife."
"It's horrible."
~ Whosyouruser
"Life in relationships are complicated, so take this with a grain of salt, but I've been in a relationship with a frequency like that and it absolutely crushed my soul."
"It's not worth it."
~ Copperslu123321
"I've been in a relationship like this, and honestly it depends on the size of the gap."
"If there's a gulf, if you want sex four times a week and your partner wants it once a month, then you're in for a bad time."
"It varies from person to person, but in my experience—as someone who wants sex 4 to 5 times a week—a partner who wants sex at least once or twice a week is enough for me to be satisfied."
"So long as they are enthusiastic and I feel genuinely wanted."
~ Copperslu123321
"My girlfriend has significantly lower sex drive than me, as in I want it every day and she wants it once a month or so."
"We just hit 2 years, and it couldn’t be better! The things that help:"
"She was very clear up front with me, so we made the decision to go all in knowing what we were in for. We communicated a LOT!"
"We are both thankfully VERY touchy feely, so I never have those doubts that she is losing interest in me."
"She makes an effort to compliment me on my looks and my body. She is always reminding me that she’s attracted to me."
"She has no issues with me looking at porn and taking care of it myself."
"We communicate A LOT (yes I’m saying it again!)."
"I put a lot of effort into asking questions and understanding, while she has put in a lot of effort in trying to explain how her brain works."
"I never pressure her or expect her to keep going if we get into it and she doesn’t want to keep going."
"For example, when we first got together there was a time when she started to touch me, but I could feel that she wasn’t really into it, so I moved her hand away and went back to cuddling. She said I was the only guy who had ever done that."
~ Polysphondylium
