A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Three 8th graders in Wisconsin are facing sexual harassment charges for "calling a classmate by the wrong pronouns." Lawyers are involved. They claim that using "biologically correct pronouns" does not constitute sexual harassment. The school says they prohibit "all forms of bullying and harassment" except, of course, for the bullying and harassment of charging an 8th grader with sexual harassment for using biologically correct pronouns. That harassment is good, you see. At least, that's the kind of arguments one has to make in a world gone completely mad.

Deplorable
That's what people are saying about a Christian Academy in Louisville, KY, because they regard homosexual behavior as sin and were teaching their students to "lovingly and compassionately speak truth to the person" in a way that "does not approve of any sin." Now, I'm stunned that anyone is stunned that a Christian academy would hold a Christian view on a topic like that. And the double standard is fascinating. "I think it's a sin for you to think that it's a sin for someone to engage in homosexual behavior. Of course, I won't be changing my view on your sin, but you will need to change your view."

Another Pandemic
VP Harris on the Buffalo shooting: "We are seeing an epidemic of hate." The White House recommends conical white head coverings and social distancing. Yes, there is far too much hate around our nation ... and our world today. "We must call it out and condemn it." That oughta do it. It's a shame that this is the best a once "Christian nation" can now offer.

Complicity

18 U.S. Code § 1507 - Picketing or parading
"Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both."

A pro-abortion group was banned from Twitter after supplying the addresses of Supreme Court Justices for the purpose of protest. The White House encourages "peaceful protests" in direct violation of federal law. Doesn't that constitute complicity (especially considering what "mostly peaceful protests" have come to look like these days)?

That's a Relief
Disney+ says they won't take ads for alcohol or politics because they want to keep it "family friendly." That's a relief. Meanwhile, Disney is pushing a solid LGBTQ+ agenda aimed specifically at children while they protest Florida's law that forbids sexual grooming of children. Mixed messages, Disney. Just like so many others whose messages and behaviors don't match. (Think, think, think ... what do we call that ... oh, yeah ... hypocrisy.)

Squirrel!
The House Intelligence subcommittee (Is that an oxymoron?) is having public hearings on UFOs ... because it would be good to have anything to distract the public from the insanity that is currently the American government, media, and culture.

Joke Gone Bad
It was a joke. "The beatings will continue until morale improves." The Fed missed it. In order to control inflation ... they're driving up the cost of borrowing money. That way we'll all buy less and demand will drop and price hikes will slow ... because everything got more expensive. "We'll keep increasing the cost of borrowing money until inflation slows." The current guess is they'll triple the current rate. Slow the economy to improve the economy. What could go wrong?

The Bee Roll
It looks like the government's Disinformation Board narrowly outlasted CNN+.

In the wake of the announcement that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is engaged, Ben Shapiro said he'd never love again.

With the outbreak of monkeypox, Fauci is recommending everyone cover their eyes, ears, and mouth.

And I really like this one, personally. The story is about a toddler who failed to see how his dad could be all-powerful and all-loving when he just took away the knife he was playing with.

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.
