Churches (and other groups) affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America are in trouble, as they are not part of the BSAās bankruptcy settlement over sexual assaults. There are forty thousand churches and other groups which are exposed.
The United Methodist Church has told five thousand congregations they are exposed to sexual assault lawsuits, and advise they not renew charters with the BSA at the end of the year.
Other Protestant denominations are advising their churches to hire legal counsel.
After excluding atheists from the BSA for decades, their child rape organisation is going to take out thousands of churches.
The Mormons put $250 million into a compensation fund to stave off lawsuits, but they can do that because of their highly centralised structure. Most Protestant denominations do not have that, so each church will be on their own.
The BSA is now facing 82,500 sexual abuse lawsuits.
Had Protestant churches taken steps to combat child rape, they wouldnāt be in this position now. They are no different than the Catholic Church on this matter, and as the BSA bankruptcy hangs Protestant churches out to dry, they are going to be in the crosshairs next.
the fake audit may have inadvertently affirmed bidenās victory in arizona but that wonāt matter because āthe election was stolenā is an ideological belief about the proper order of things, and not a factual claim.

re: #19 Backwoods_Sleuth
That was one of the kindest things I have seen in awhile. Thank you.
Numerous studies have shown that Christian women are much less likely to report domestic violence than women of other faiths or none, regardless of the denomination. Their faith is used against them by both the abuser and the church to keep quiet. Church congregations will frequently shun or harass women who do make such reports, because it makes their congregation look bad. That is worse when the abuser is the pastor.
Kent Hovind was just convicted of domestic violence against his girlfriend. He was sentenced to a year in jail (reduced to thirty days because Christian), and thousands of dollars in fines and court costs. He also gets a three-week grace period before he has to report to jail.
Hovind actually recorded the attack, where he threw his girlfriend to the ground and injured her, sending her to the hospital (maybe he was thinking that would help him?)
His girlfriend asserted in a protection order that Hovind sent a goon to her home to threaten her, and said goon came back the next day to trash her property.

How long was the longest line? (when I last saw the Mouse, that meant Matterhorn. That gives you some idea how long ago that wasā¦)
Most lines were in the 5 - 35 minutes range, depending on popularity. The longest were in the 50 - 60 range at peak times. That means rides like radiator springs, splash mountain, smugglers run (one of the new star wars rides). The two headliners were allocated by getting into a e-queue, which you could sign up for at two specific times every day (the queues were usually filled in seconds).
Note that this is one of Disneyās non-peak times. I made the mistake of going once at a peak time, and never again.

It appears that a majority of anti-vaxxers do not publicly change their views unless they are at deathās door ā and often not even then.

The stateās new āunborn child advocateā Mark Miller, who also serves as general counsel to Gov. Kristi Noem, is reviewing South Dakotaās abortion laws at Noemās direction. Millerās task is in response to the Texas law that outlaws most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.
Noem stated in a tweet that following the Supreme Courtās decision to leave the pro-life Texas law in place she will be directing the Unborn Child Advocate to review the new Texas law and current South Dakota laws to ensure the state has the strongest pro-life laws on the books.
As part of her 2018 campaign, Noem promised to have an unborn child advocate on her staff, according to Ian Fury, Noemās communications director.
According to open.sd.gov, Miller is paid $143,360 annually to serve as general counsel on Noemās executive team and as the Unborn Child Advocate.

Father abandons twelve children for his conservative faith.
Despite family and friends searching for available options, a father passed after being in the ICU for COVID-19 complications 20 days after testing positive.
A Texas father died while his family searched for a potentially live-saving ECMO machine.
Reed Hickson, a father of 12, contracted COVID-19 a month ago and had been in critical condition in the ICU after two visits to the hospital within 20 days of testing positive.
According to KTBX, the family declined to share Hicksonās vaccination status.
That means he wasnāt vaccinated.
āHe stayed stable for a couple of days and then he was starting to steadily decline. We had, I cannot tell you how many people trying to save his life and trying to get an ECMO machine, a hospital that had a bed with one,ā she told KTBX.
An ECMO machine is a life-support machine that functions as a personās heart and lungs.
āāDr. Andy Wilson, a friend of the Hicksonās, told the outlet that he and the family included Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma and Florida in their search for the machine.

Does this mean he did not care for his wife and children? Not necessarily. Life is complicated and often too short - making the decision to not get vaccinated was the wrong decision for this person. Unfortunately there are no do-overs. The familyās loss is going to reverberate for years - our gloating over this loss will be forgotten in a week. Shake your head and enjoy the good fortune and sense you had in getting a vaccine.

Researchers at The Ohio State University and the University of California, Irvine have come up with a method for locating a position on Earth using signals broadcast by SpaceXās Starlink Internet service satellites. Signals from six Starlink satellites were used to identify a location on Earth within 8 meters, suggesting the method could serve as an alternative to GPS. Ohio Stateās Zak Kassas said, āWe eavesdropped on the signal, and then we designed sophisticated algorithms to pinpoint our location, and we showed that it works with great accuracy. And even though Starlink wasnāt designed for navigation purposes, we showed that it was possible to learn parts of the system well enough to use it for navigation.ā

re: #22 Anymouse š¹š”š·
Numerous studies have shown that Christian women are much less likely to report domestic violence than women of other faiths or none, regardless of the denomination. Their faith is used against them by both the abuser and the church to keep quiet. Church congregations will frequently shun or harass women who do make such reports, because it makes their congregation look bad. That is worse when the abuser is the pastor.
Kent Hovind was just convicted of domestic violence against his girlfriend. He was sentenced to a year in jail (reduced to thirty days because Christian), and thousands of dollars in fines and court costs. He also gets a three-week grace period before he has to report to jail.
Hovind actually recorded the attack, where he threw his girlfriend to the ground and injured her, sending her to the hospital (maybe he was thinking that would help him?)
His girlfriend asserted in a protection order that Hovind sent a goon to her home to threaten her, and said goon came back the next day to trash her property.
Kentās consigliere, one Ernie Land, says theyāre going to appeal the case and Kent is never going to jail. I donāt know how true that is.
I would note that Kentās love life is pretty fucked up. He dumped his wife of over 40 years in 2016, after he got out of prison for his tax and structuring crimes. Later in 2017, he married Mary Tocco. Although there was no marriage license, the state of Alabama had common law marriage at the time (ended on December 31, 2017), From a legal perspective, it could be argued that Kent Hovind is still married to Ms. Tocco, as thereās no evidence of a legal divorce.
Mary got the hell out of there when she figured out that there was still shenanigans going on with the funding of Kentās bargain basement amusement park āDinosaur Adventure Land.ā There may have been some slapping around. What I do know is that Tocco, who lives in South Carolina, showed up to testify at the criminal trial on behalf of Cindi Lincoln.
Speaking of Cindi, she had moved out there from California, sold her property there and was living on the property when Tocco moved out. Not long after that, she got āmarriedā in Florida with a Baptist preacher and no marriage license. (Florida does not have common law marriage.) Earlier this year, after quite a bit of crazy, she had enough too, and the assault case was the result. But she also wants the money back that she says she loaned to Dinosaur Adventure Land, expecting to be paid an annuity. Iām just going to say that the documentation is pretty thin on the ground and she was badly treated by Ernie Land, the consigliere mentioned earlier.
The decision in the criminal case was announced earlier this week. Yesterday (September 24) Kent announced that heād again gone off to Florida and had an independent Baptist preacher āmarryā him to a woman named Sandra Princess Sawyer. It appears that Sawyer has seven children from two previous marriages, and two of the children are still minors.
What a MESS.
PS the guy who trashed Cindiās house is named Steve Lynn. He was the guy who knew all the tech stuff. He also apparently had a drug induced freakout in August and checked himself into a facility, but heās back at DAL now. I know WAY too much about Kent Hovind, and I only know it because heās a prominent sovereign citizen.

Given the results, I imagine that the justification for renewed efforts will be that the AZ fraudit created āquestionsā because the hand recount differs from the official results from the county. Doesnāt matter that the variation is in Bidenās favor, the fact that the two are not totally identical will be spun as proof of āfraudā in the process and the need for further āinvestigations.ā These are assholes who were looking for bamboo fibers and running UV lights over ballots, the idea that Biden being proclaimed the winner by an even larger (if statistically insignificant) margin would put an end to all this is a naive.

Moore is one of those people that worships themselves, which is why he tends to gravitate towards others of the same mindset. Hence why, in his mind, the fact that nobody he deigns to associate with would own up to voting for Bush meant that the election results had to be wrong.

The biggest danger posed to the GQP by continuing to run these fraudits is not that it will turn voters against them, but that it will further demoralize their own voters. We just watched them spend time, money, and energy in AZ just to find out that Biden not only won by he won by more votes than the official results. Thatās after months of making all sorts of promises about how, when the āofficialā report came out, it was gonna blow the lid off the entire plan to put Biden in the WH through fraud.
Their voters waited for months, getting told almost on the daily about how āmy friends brotherās cousinās fatherās former roommate whoās part of the audit saw all these votes getting chucked for being fraudulent!,ā only to be told that not only is there no sign of massive fraud but that Biden actually gained votes.
Theyāve spent too long promising too much that itās going to blow up massively in their faces next year. Not because āindependentā voters might get disgusted with the constant screams of āFRAUD!!!ā and vote Dem, but that their own voters will get discouraged that Trumpās not going to be reinstalled as El Presidente for Life and decide thereās no point in showing up at the polls because āthe fix is in.ā

Whatās biting them in the ass so hard is that the traditional method of filling those vacancies would be to rely upon the seemingly endless supply of immigrant labor, whether through work visas or through less-than-legal methods.

There is a social component to labor: it should be uplifting in the sense that it allows families to provide a better life for themselves and their children.
But that only gets lip service from the Right Wing in favor of āPersonal Freedomā to negotiate as individuals with limited resources for terms of employment, insurance coverge and financial services with multi-million/billion-dollar international corporations.

Here is a really good article about the local gentry (also Trump supporters) in America, with some history thrown in, some of which I did not know or forgot. Shiplord Kirel refers to them frequently by this term. Remember the tragedy of the Lake Travis boat parade?
Donald Trump grasped this groupās existence and its importance, acting, as he often does, on unthinking but effective instinct. When he crowed about his ābeautiful boaters,ā lauding the flotillas of supporters trailing MAGA flags from their watercraft in his honor, or addressed his devoted followers among a rioting January 6 crowd that included people who had flown to the event on private jets, he knew what he was doing. Trump was courting the support of the American gentry, the salt-of-the-earth millionaires who see themselves as local leaders in business and politics, the unappreciated backbone of a once-great nation.

Iāve wondered about that. We know that Fucker Carlson, Streicher Hannity and the rest of the Fox antivaxx crew are vaccinated themselves. Itās a safe bet that Guo and Bannon are as well. We know about Trump. Obnoxious as they are, the mid-level antivaxxers, the ones who arenāt in on the plan, are victims too.

Of course I was there in a video game, not in real life.
For months, my colleagues and I at the University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats have been tracking insurrectionist sentiments in U.S. adults, most recently in surveys in June. We have found that 47 million American adults - nearly 1 in 5 - agree with the statement that āthe 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and Joe Biden is an illegitimate president.ā Of those, 21 million also agree that āuse of force is justified to restore Donald J. Trump to the presidency.āOur survey found that many of these 21 million people with insurrectionist sentiments have the capacity for violent mobilization. At least 7 million of them already own a gun, and at least 3 million have served in the U.S. military and so have lethal skills. Of those 21 million, 6 million said they supported right-wing militias and extremist groups, and 1 million said they are themselves or personally know a member of such a group, including the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.

Many thanks for posting this excellent article. It is a concise guide to what I believe in the single most overlooked factor in American politics and public life in general. The local gentry is the heart and soul of the Republican Party, and they are everywhere.
Their emphasis on preserving birthright privilege is the root of white supremacy and racism in this country. The gentry themselves are not notably racist in a personal sense but many of them, especially in the south (both geographic and cultural), grasp almost intuitively that white privilege is an ultimate form of birthright privilege. It provides such privilege to millions who otherwise have nothing and conditions them to support other forms of privilege as part of a natural hierarchy. It gives the peasants a stake in the status quo. The pseudo-aristocratic slave holders of the antebellum south could not be a more obvious example.
Iāve commented a number of times that the most fanatical and extreme libertarians often seem to be people who have not done as well as their parents. They are local gentry who feel threatened with immediate loss of privilege. It is no coincidence that a striking percentage of the 1-6 rioters were in trouble over taxes.
Marjorie Taylor Greene could be national poster child for the angry gentry. As the daughter of a wealthy contractor in one of the poorest parts of the country, she almost canāt help being stupid, cruel and arrogant.

Thereās a booster trial going on in the UK at the moment thatās fully double-blinded (half the trial participants are getting a BCG vaccine) but itās also trying cross-vaccination options for the booster shot as well as half-dose formulations. A lot of people in the UK got the AstraZeneca adenovirus vaccine during the rollout in the late winter but the booster shots are likely to be Pfizer for various reasons (Moderna is also approved in the UK but a lot fewer doses have been ordered by the government).

During annual training one year, the Battalion Supply Sergeant set up his tent/office in a field of tall grass. There was golden orb spider on a plant right outside the tent entrance. The sergeant, being extremely bored, adopted it as his pet for the rest of the exercise. Whenever anyone was around, he would feed it and call it his pet. That the sergeant was fairly short and very thin added to his image. And some of the looks he got from passerby were priceless.
This was the same exercise when the Battery First Sergeant said that he was tired of getting eaten alive by mosquitos, ticks and chiggers. So he started eating cloves of garlic. I do not know if it stopped the bugs. But we certainly knew where he was by the scent of the garlic.

Cohnās saying in so many words the same stereotype that most such men are pushing: That there are hordes of Americans living on the dole who could, if āencouragedā to leave it tomorrow, solve our ālabor shortageā within a matter of weeks or even days.
The reality is that weāre at or below the UE figures for the same time last year, itās just that most of those who worked in menial labor jobs pre-pandemic used the time and resources afforded through government assistance to look for better jobs or even go into business for themselves. This is proving to a massive issue for a system that is used to turn-key ārecoveries,ā where businesses just throw open the doors and call the workforce back as though nothing ever happened.
People are tired of working shit jobs that not just have awful working conditions and terrible pay and benefits, but also have a strong likelihood of leaving you sick or dead. These ivory tower economists need to understand the pandemic has brought a sea change in the way people think about their jobs. People are not about to DIE for some capitalists in Hudson Yards (and why yes, I use that deliberately) just because the capitalists think the best thing to happen is for everyone to go back to work and to hell with the consequences.

Thatās what led to my permanently severing all contact (ok ā contact was just on FB these days) with an acquaintance Iāve known for over 50 years. He mocked me last summer for being concerned about those forced to work in unsafe conditions at meat packing plants and public facing service jobs. They really do feel that the poor should sacrifice their lives for the capitalist comfort.

The Hudson Yards āVesselā sculpture is closed; because thereās been 4 suicides in less than two years from jumping off it.
Other than thatā¦ itās a pretty swank development. The apartments, restaurants, retail outlets are all seriously upscale.
