Let's have some tea.... iced. And ponder a few news and social media 'thangs' ... shall we?

Democrat Texas candidate Bobby Pulido said molesting kids is “not necessarily rape,” after he brought a sex offender to a middle school, according to social media posts uncovered by the Daily Caller.

Pulido brought his longtime friend, convicted child sex offender Frankie Caballero, to perform at a benefit concert at a Texas middle school in 2016, according to an Axios report.

Unearthed posts on Twitter, now known as X, show Pulido explaining why he believed it was appropriate to bring Caballero to the benefit concert.

The posts were published in a series of tweets in August 2018, weeks after the event.

In one post, Pulido downplayed child molestation, writing, “Child molestation is abhorrent. But is not necessarily rape or murder, what you said. My point, and Geraldo’s point, is they have been unfairly demonized. It’s like if I said that whites shouldn’t be able to buy guns because most mass shooters are white.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was legit the leading story image link on a TV stations site.  I sincerely hope that is a 2nd baseball in his hand... because there is one in the glove.

 

 

 

Seriously fucked up.
I have pretty much lost all faith and trust in any of the so called 'expert' opinions by now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep - she's gonna sell you that trashcan watermelon. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Newson/California... turning into a Communist state.
Now they are digging through your trash to spy on you... regular, boring, everyday citizens. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First... you have to understand this isn't about health.
It's about profit.
Pure and Simple.
Once you realize that everything makes sense. 

Some things to ponder over your morning coffee.....

Tim Walz’s board of pardons after the state’s clemency commission recommended it be granted to him due to "immigration concerns."

Fox News Digital reviewed documents from the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission, which voted four to two to grant a pardon to Laotian national Tue Lue Vang following his conviction for criminal sexual conduct. Vang admitted to repeatedly raping a girl over a multi-year period beginning when she was 10 years old. While the two board members who voted against granting a pardon noted the serious nature of Vang’s offenses, the four members recommending a pardon each listed concern about him being deported.

These cheating politicians are so sickening

Rather save a voter than keep the community safe from predators. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a quick read with coffee - soil from the grave of a priest that research shows heals wounds and sore throats, and more

I saw a little blurb about soil from the grave of Father James McGirr was healing people in Ireland... so I did a super quick search and found some articles showing that this story was indeed based on facts.  (Hey, you know social media is aften AI slop at this point!  Ha ha).  

 

".......Out here in the Boho Highlands, part of the West Fermanagh Scarplands, five miles from the border with the Republic of Ireland, there’s a longstanding belief among parishioners that the earth Father McGirr was buried under had almost miraculous curative powers. “The good father is said to have been a faith healer,” says Gerry Quinn, a microbiologist who grew up in the area. “On his deathbed he supposedly declared: ‘After I die, the clay that covers me will cure anything that I was able to cure when I was with you while I was alive.’” This led to a curious local custom: Petitioners will kneel beside the plot, remove a thumbnail-size patch of dirt and put it into a cotton pouch. “They will then bring the packets home—taking pains not to speak to anyone they encountered on the road—and place the pouches under their pillows,” Quinn says. “The soil is believed to alleviate many minor ailments, like flesh wounds and sore throats.”"

".........Back in the lab, a special protocol was used to isolate what turned out to be eight strains of Streptomyces from the Boho soil. Luciana Terra, a team member from Brazil, then went on to the next step, pitting the Streptomyces against some common pathogens. Eventually, the genomes were sequenced by growing each individual bacterium on a separate agar plate, extracting the DNA, reading the DNA fragments in a sequencer and comparing the sequence with known Streptomyces strains.

The new strains were then cage-matched with superbugs. To the research team’s surprise, the strain inhibited both gram-positive bacilli and gram-negative, which differ in cell-wall structure; the gram-negative are generally more resistant to antibiotics because of the relative thickness of their cell walls.

But what to call the new bacterium? Owing to its sweet, woody, wintergreen oil-like aroma, Quinn suggested the not-particularly-lyrical Streptomyces Alkaline Fragrance. A friend suggested myrophorea, a Greek-derived name for the myrrh-bearing women in the New Testament who found the tomb of Jesus empty after the Resurrection. “The Myrrhbearers were known as ‘The Carriers of the Fragrance,’” Quinn explains. “What could be more fitting?”

After Terra had processed the samples, Quinn, on his next trip to Boho, dumped what remained of the soil back onto Father McGirr’s grave. “Sure, I’m a scientist,” he says, deadpan, “but why take unnecessary risks?”"

Here is an article you can read if you wish - or look up on your own.
