Aaron Musser decided to host a children's Bible study class while in drag
Musser could be seen in pictures wearing a blonde wig, lipstick and white dress
'I wasn’t sure how the outside world would handle me when they saw me this morning. Joy is difficult to feel,' he wrote
At least he respected his congregation enough to wear a modestly cut dress, however brassy and stereotypically ultra-femme the rest of it. But consulting the congregation beforehand instead of presenting them with a fait accompli would have been more respectful.

Millennial Mom! 'Tis a pity
She couldn't make do with a kitty.
A sphinx sits, dispirited,
By a fitty grand pyramid
Beside the wide Nile. Ain't it pretty?
Amazing, and such self-effacement!
Perfection... in paid product placement:
"Please, do not be nervous.
Our bundling of services FREES YOU... to fill up your basement!"
Er... Mouth of the Amazon, or, "That strong orange yellow god is not a river in Egypt."

AMAZON
The Amazon Driver earned should get more recognition than a few free tickets. Amazon HQ needs to get off it cheap A$$ give a reward here.
THE PITS OWNERS
If the Pit Owners are the cause of the dogs behavior then drag them into court. If the owners were unlucky and got a Pit bred for "Gaming" and its a male, have it "clip". Otherwise it needs to be put it down.
Regarding PITS in general.
How they behaved is 99% on how they are treated and raised.
BTW: During the earlier times, Pits were considered to be the best breed for babysitting children. Hence the name Nanny Dog, despite what some claim otherwise. Heck even studies involving Pit Bull behavior revealed that they are the 2nd most tolerant dogs, right after Golden Retrievers.

"Pitty" behavior is a lot like gun violence. As a general rule, nobody has been chewed to death by most breeds of dogs. But "true pittyism has never been tried."
Assh*les...

My take on pitbulls has never been of the "most of them are great dogs" variety. Instead its been to point out that when a truly horrible ________ (insert most any other dog breed here) goes rogue, nobody loses a limb or their life.
#8
The most horrifying example of the lack of breed predictability is the October 2000 death of a 6-week-old baby, which was killed by her family's Pomeranian dog. I have 2 Pits and my daughter has 1. My 2 are very gentle and love people. Her dog is a service dog who regularly goes to the VA and to various nursing homes.

I look at Pit Bull stories, the same way I look at how the media sells the COVID-19/21 and the VAX.
Click Bait and Hype.

My personal experience is they seem to get "off their chain" a lot more often than other dogs. Smarter than other dogs or owned by dumber people? Or some combination?

It was wagging it's tail and not jumping. Hum.
[Weather]... heavy snow and occasional wind gusts over 60 mph could make travel increasing difficult, if not impossible, by later Tuesday [21-21]or Wednesday through the Sierra. Major routes including Interstate 80 over Donner Summit and U.S. 50 could be shut down for a time. All Sierra Passes will be affected. Storm will be comprised of multiple waves over the next week or so with snow level as low as 1000' or as high as 7500' at times. Some passes will be shut down for more than 72 hours at a time - great for water supply - horrible for travel and goods shipment
Stock up and stay safe and warm if you’re in that area, dear Reader.

Any chance the storms could wash all of the Left Coast out to sea? - It will clean up a heck of a mess if that happens.

^ Ha Since I'm an Idahoan, that would be great! Unfortunately, the geology doesn't support that end game. The San Andreas is a right-lateral Strike slip fault rather than a Dip slip fault. In common parlance that means that L.A. will be right next to San Francisco in 10M years rather than plunging into the sea.

Our church supported a missionary in Haiti. He was working on agricultural development. Failed to pay off the gangs. He's back, recovering from traumatic brain injury. Never be right. We're helping. His wife, from Haiti, has a job and the son is in a Christian school where we know a couple of staff. Duck Haiti. Also auto-correct.

He wants NATO to pull back -- just as the Warsaw Pact did (dissolved entirely, in fact) -- after 1990. He's proposing a demilitarized and neutral space in the borderlands next to Russia.
This is what Baker, Bush pere and Gorbachev discussed in the negotiations surrounding German reunification: a totally sensible idea that Clinton and his people foolishly rejected in their delusions of a "unipolar" US order. Now we're suffering the effects of that hubris, with a devastated military and a demoralized and broken populace.
Any intelligent US president would seize the opportunity and try to meet Putin halfway with our own counter-offer --beginning with disentangling the US from that miserable tarbaby called Ukraine.

1) Removal of all US military advisers, special forces et al from Ukraine
2) An end to US military assistance to Ukraine.
3) the same thing that Bush pere insisted on 30 years ago in his speech to the Ukrainian parliament: no NATO membership for Ukraine
4) Ukraine becomes a demilitarized, neutral, peaceful country a la Austria after 1947. The Russian-speaking eastern regions of Ukraine get limited autonomy to be agreed on through negotiations.

I'm afraid Russia already fell into China's orbit twenty years ago when they worked to turn Venezuela into a CHINESE satellite.
All the Putinistas keep asking what's the US interest. The US has an interest in not selling OUT people to its enemies. But that's not what The Machine's about, I guess.
[JPost] Japan executed three people who were on death row on Tuesday, marking the first time the death penalty was carried out under Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's government, Kyodo news agency reported.
It was the first time for the government to carry out the death penalty since December 26, 2019, Kyodo added.

Of the 38,615,491 vaccinated individuals included in our study, 385,508 (1.0%) were admitted to hospital with or died from cardiac arrhythmia at any time in the study period (either before or after vaccination).
The deaths were about 7k or the 385k. A substantial number of these were people who tested positive for Covid.
The study period was 28 days post vaccine.
There doesn't seem to be a control group.

[FoxBusinessNews] The firm has showcased an implant capable of storing a COVID passport that can then be read by many devices.
A microchip technology introduced in recent years by the Stockholm-based startup, Epicenter, is being presented as a means to store one's COVID-19 vaccine passport under the skin, according to a video from the South China Post that went viral Friday.
The firm has showcased an implant capable of storing a COVID passport that can then be read by any device using the near-field communication (NFC) protocol, according to the video.
The video featured Hannes Sjöblad, founder of the Swedish Association of Biohackers, advisor, and speaker on Human Augmentation, and ambassador for Sweden at the Singularity Universe.
Sjöblad demonstrated how Epicenter's rice-sized microchip, has been adapted as a COVID-19 passport, which is implanted under the skin either in the arm on between the thumb and forefinger.
Three Square Market, a Wisconsin-based technology company, became the first company in the U.S. to offer its employees similar free microchip implants in August 2017. The chip gives employees access to locked rooms and the ability to pay for food and drinks in the break room.
"Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.," said Todd Westby, a 32M CEO at the time.
The technology the company uses is called RFID or (Radio-Frequency Identification), which uses electromagnetic fields to identify electronically-stored information. The chips also use near-field communications (NFC), the same type of technology that is used in most contactless credit cards and mobile payments.
Westby said at the time that these microchips have already become very popular in many European countries and that the companies intended to be ahead of the curve in bringing it to the U.S. Now they could become COVID passports.

Revelation 13:17
And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark— the name of the beast or the number of its name. Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.…

^ Total incoherence now. The vaccination failed-- so let's repeat it, and 'vaccinate' some more. We need 'boosters' every year - but those are failing, too.
So let's amp up the frequency to every few months.
Which will in turn fail, so the frequency will be increased, and increased and increased until the injections need to happen morning noon and night.

Actually I'm sort of cool with 'chipping' the illegals before they are released. Not that the chips have to do anything but just the idea planted in their mind that they might would be entertaining. Let them know that it too 'migrates' around the body, so trying to dig it out won't work.

I believe the technique is to feed them a meal then tell them it include a small microchip which will attach to the inside of their digestive tract so they can be identified and tracked for the rest of their lives.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
