The oldest profession on earth and they 'think' they were abolish it. Stupid is as stupid does.

I see where the American Family Association has uncovered some shocking statistics of a rebellion against God's design for human sexuality.
A February Gallup poll found that 7.1% of Americans now identify as LGBTQ – a 100% increase over 2012 numbers and a 26% increase over 2021! Worse yet is that for ages 18-24, an astounding 39% self-identified as LGBTQ.
Identifying as LGBTQ turns out to be as a popular choice as much as piercings and skinny jeans!

neato this:
An unburnable edition of Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” made with Cinefoil aluminum was auctioned for $130,000, proceeds going to PEN America.

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.

Russia has now made it illegal to mention the Ukraine War, under penalty of several years in jail. It's a Special Operation don'cha know. Somewhat like the Korean War ... errr ... Conflict even when it was a hot war back in the 50's, though there were no jail terms attached as far as I know.
Meanwhile on the Home Front:
In Idaho authorities arrested members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front after 'a concerned citizen' reported seeing a 'small army' of men with masks and body armor climbing into the back of a U-Haul van.
Checking for online mentions I read 31 racists with moobs were arrested and unmasked. Pictures (sample below) show not all of them had moobs but all look to qualify as members of the Master Race. Really shouldn't be joking about this since they were planning to crash a Gay Pride Parade, ready to boogie with 'body armor and riot gear' ... no mention of weapons?

So ... I'm a bit disappointed with today's hearings. On Thursday Cheney outed Perry as having sought a pardon, and that there were others as well. She didn't drop any more names today, keeping everyone hanging.
Perry did claim that the whole thing was an "absolute, shameless, and soulless lie" but I can't image Cheney saying something like that in front of millions without solid proof?
Ocasio-Cortez saw an opening and pounced on Boebert, Gaetz, and even Jordan among others, asking them about pardon requests. Replies ran the gamut: antifa rioting, crime-ridden cities and Hunter Biden ... didn't see any mention of Hillary ... AOC also volunteered that she had in fact not asked for a Presidential Pardon.
Most Republicans did not chip in but a number of other Democrats also affirmed they did not ask for a pardon.
Today's hearing had a drunken Giuliani playing the part of Rasputin ... can't wait for what's next ...

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — A man who walked into an AT&T store carrying a rifle and wearing a tactical vest is now in jail, according to Broken Arrow police. The problem seems to have been that he also had brass nuckles. Also his shorts?
[ Interesting town name ... I recall that as code for plane crash with nukes on board. ]
