Southern Baptist Convention Nashville TN
This essay is dedicated in appreciation to
Southern Baptist pastors have been spiraling downward into the abyss of fiction and fraud for generations, pushing the iniquitous sword attacking civil rights, women, people of color, and the customary whipping boy for ignorant people: the LGBTQIA+ community. From Billy Graham and G...

Parents, students fight against Florida’s hate legislation
Rick DeSantis, Florida Governor
Governor Rick DeathSantis, the fuehrer or the gaggle of Republicanazis in the Florida legislature, signed into law one of the most hateful bills…matching those that slithered out of The Third Reich and blessed by Adolf Hitler. The Florida sludge has become known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law targeting transsexuals/transgenders as well as all LGBTQIA people and their parents and families.
While the Don’t Say Gay bill’s proponents have implied that talking about LGBTQ people is what the law means when it says sexual orientation and gender identity, nothing in the law’s text actually limits it to just discussions of LGBTQ people. So, some teachers are allegedly taking it to its logical conclusion.

Ivermectin warning yet people still take it and most die.
The concept of freedom of choice and expression is not absolute. No person has the right to broadcast misinformation about matters of health, social stability, and the right to express oneself in a democracy. Various physicians have been justifiably censored and removed from jobs that require public trust. This is especially true in the field of virology1 and the current coronavirus pandemic. Prescriptions for ivermectin have jumped to more than 88,000 per week, some pharmacists are reporting shortages and people are overdosing on forms of the drug meant for horses.2 Prescriptions for ivermectin have seen a sharp rise in recent weeks, jumping to more than 88,000 per week3 in mid-August from a prepandemic baseline average of 3,600 pe...

Library of Alexandria artist rendition
This essay is dedicated to my well-read and erudite friend Woody Besse in Cedar Hill, Texas who puts up with my decidedly anti-Republican essays exposing the duplicity and double-talk given to education and learning, First Amendment rights and guarantees, and the equality of all people regardless of sex, gender, gender-identification, race, age, status, etc.
Burning books and other items containing knowledge is as old as time. Julius Cesar burned the Library of Alexander, that was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. The Library1 was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, which was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts, and all documents in it...

Franklin Graham, the new Elmer Gantry, and Donald Trump. Graham thinks Trump is the new Christ.
Franklin Graham, the son of the famous televangelist Billy Graham, and the well-remunerated1 president/CEO of Samaritan’s Purse. Graham himself drew a salary of $636,451 in 2018, according to the organization’s IRS filing,2 and that’s on top of the full-time salary he gets as president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which doesn’t have to publicly state his salary but is also estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.3

Extremism is the reality that Texas has lovingly preserved: in politics, in religion, in enforcement (there are more crimes against humanity by police and sheriffs in Texas than in any other state) while education, health, family life and security remain low. The more hate a person can spew is the passport to political office, and ideas on working for the common good, raising education levels, acknowledging a racist past and precedents is laughed at and openly scorned.
Texas pastor Rick Scarborough (The Independent UK)
Rick Scarborough, from Pearland, Texas, a self-described “Christocrat,”1 strident anti-LGBTQ2 activist who declared AIDS to be a “homosexual disease”3 a loving (sic) god sent to punish4 “sodomites”5]–even thought AIDS strikes both genders and was found to have been diagn...

In a country that prioritizes individual freedom as much as the U.S. does, citizens do not have the right to harm their colleagues or their colleagues’ families, friends and communities. One person’s right to a healthy life is greater than another person’s right to a specific job. The government (state and federal) has been requiring vaccinations of all people even before the nation existed–and their have been violent protests against government action to save all the people by those who claim they riot and protest in the name of freeDUMB.
In 1777, smallpox was a big enough problem for the bedraggled American army that George Washington thought it could jeopardize the Revolution.1 In the decades that followed, immunization treatments became safer (the Revolutionary War method killed ...

Veronica Wolski told others COVID was not real and died from COVID in Chicago
Veronica Wolski of Chicago a major pusher of COVID disinformation died of COVID-19–which was wonderfully good new, but her mentally challenged clique of fire-breathing ignoramuses touting the animal dewormer ivermectin and demanding that all doctors administer the drug that can kill people on COVID patients. Hopefully all hospital and medical professionals will refuse all antivaxxers, antimaskers when they contract the deadly disease.1 An increasing number of famous and not-so-famous antivaxxers (such as Florida hate-show talker Marc Bernier,2 Dick Farrel Austin Levitt, and Phil Valentine,3 Queens, NY conservative shock jock, Newsmax anchor, voice-over actor and vocal anti-vaxxer Dick Farrel has died aft...

As COVID-19 infection cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are skyrocketing especially with children,1 Texas reported age distribution for only 3% of cases; while New York City reported all age distribution of cases, Alabama stopped reporting cases July 29, 2021 fearing the rest of the nation would see Alabama as the worst state of COVID and injure its tourism and out-of-state sales. Florida has the highest rate of COVID among new-born through age 14. Iowa stopped updating child testing data. Due to the delta variant, still large numbers of Americans who refuse to get vaccinated or wear masks, and children going back to school, many with no mask or vaccine mandates.
