FRANKLIN GRAHAM AT CHRISTIAN MEDIA CONVENTION: EVERY ‘DEMON FROM HELL’ HAS BEEN ‘TURNED LOOSE’ IN SOCIETY
Franklin Graham is the prodigal son of the late Billy Graham.  As an aside, I only saw this on the Fox website. I did not see it on the websites of A.B.C., C.B.S., N.B.C., nor did I hear it on N.P.R.

On a similar note, in a few months many parents will be going to "Back-to-school" sales. This one from Target is disgustingly evil.

Target's Gay Pride collection has been linked to a controversial designer: Abprallen's Erik Carnell, who is an outspoken Satanist whose brand features occult imagery and messages like "Satan respects pronouns" on brand apparel, Fox News Digital reported separately. He is also known for aggressive messaging and phrases, including "Burn down the cis-tem," which have been featured on the website along with one that says "homophobe headrest" with an image of a guillotine. Carnell explained in an Instagram post that Satan represents "passion, pride and liberty" and "loves all LGBT+ people."

Very generous statement.

I'd guesstimate that of the sexual predators and child molesters I encountered in prison, well over half - perhaps as many as four-fifths - had been molested or abused as children themselves.  It permanently warped and twisted them, so they were never able to break free of those early bonds of evil that had been laid upon them.  It's all very well to say that free will is involved, that they could always have refused to follow such inclinations by strength of will . . . but sadly, it's not that easy.  Such psychological damage can and does cripple many people, making it impossible for them to turn away from what has been done to them.  Many people don't realize this.

This story has got some media attention in Ontario at the moment, a teacher indicating she's afraid to walk the halls for fear of being attacked,

The climate of our school is one of violence, fear and is well on its way to being one of long lasting trauma for many students,” the letter reads. “We write this letter as a desperate call for help to make changes to our learning environment in order to make it the safe place it once was.”

My older son works for a local distributor of Coors/Miller.   They are working 60 hour + weeks and running out of some brands trying to keep up with the demand while local stores are trying to sell A-B products with minimal success.  Middle-o'-Nowhere, MO, yes, but a college town known for partying and drinking.

I am curious what Josh and the other democrats are going to do for June. Are ya’ll going to put up a trans flag or something for your profile pic?

My friend was a School Resource Officer with the RCMP. He had 5 schools he was responsible for, with about 5,000 students. No one want to devote resources to the issue, but they all know that's one of the biggest bang for the buck in crime prevention. Then there is Vancouver who does not want the VPD in the schools with guns and uniforms. The gangs are deeply pleased by this.

What the actual fuck.  Call the police and get fired?

Fayette County will not go easy on those three. 

Peachtree corners is a not very smart area to try to do crime in either. Expect that region to get more aggressive in criminal suppression. Doraville and north is not smart. Expect to see a police involved shooting out of there sometime soon.

Not if retailers are good with giving goods away.  Those three would be free today if two former employees had followed their corporate (read ESG ) guidelines.

They might consider going on strike like the teachers in Minnesota did.  Read here if you are not familiar.

There seems to be some deep hate for cops in some parts in Canada. I remember reading about how local LGBT groups in Edmonton did not want cops or military present in uniform.

Georgia is right to work. The angle to take is a boycott.

Following Amanda Gorman's reading of her poem at President Joe Biden's inauguration, administrators at a school in Florida decided the poem would make valuable middle school-level reading. So, they switched the shelf it was on in a K-8 school library — and sparked an international outrage incident.

"I am gutted," Gorman wrote in a successful press release. " Book bans aren’t new, but they have been on the rise." ABC ran a story with the headline, "Amanda Gorman Poem for Biden Inauguration Banned in South Florida School." PBS went with "Amanda Gorman Inaugural Poem Banned from Florida School." Variety noted that "Amanda Gorman Book Sales Skyrocket in Sales Despite Florida Book Ban."

Gorman’s press release called on readers to donate to PEN America, which has written seminal and widely covered reports on the rise of "book banning" in America. According to PEN America, if a book has been temporarily removed for review and then returned to school library shelves, then it has been banned. If a book is no longer available in a middle school library but is available in a high school library, then, according to PEN America, it has been banned. If a book is taken off an assigned class reading list but continues to be in a school library, then, according to PEN America, it has been banned. If a book is removed from a library but is assigned in class, then, according to PEN America, it has been banned.

Of course one of the issues is that there’s not an infinite amount of space in a library. There has to be some decisions to pick and choose. 

[Ssnake]

So, you're pro banning?

😜

[rmgill]

Only if you don’t understand basic english.

This weekend being Memorial Day weekend, as one might expect the beer coolers and tortilla chip aisles at Walmart were hammered by Sunday night. 

Except the Bud Light section of the beer cooler, you could get all the Bud Light you ever wanted. 

Elsewhere it apparently is even worse;

[Steven P Allen]

Talked to my son's boss Sunday:  their Coors/Miller sales are up over 25% from last year, which had been a very good year for them.

Ok, so when I was a young'un and went to the library every week borrowing an armload of comics and books, I guess according to PEN America, I was actually banning books all along?  

Who knew?  Those limp dick Nazis were only banning books for 12 years, I have been doing it more than four times as long! I knew those guys were losers.

Jeez, words used to have meaning.

Well, those could be very much against the law, so no smarts whatsoever.

Disrupting, more or less accidentally, the operations of a supermarket, OTOH...
