It's a conversation that's been four years in the making! In her first appearance on the pod back in Episode 9, Lauren Ludwig (she/they) told us her coming out story, and detailed a number of parallels that it shared with her own mother's journey, which started back when Lauren was a child. Now, in a special guest co-host episode, Lauren and Lauren (double your Laurens, double your fun!) at long last sit down with Randi Ludwig, the woman who LITERALLY started it all! Randi was born in 1955, and genuinely never questioned her sexuality until she unexpectedly fell in love with a woman in the late '80s...at which point she was already happily married with two children. She describes the absolute *terror* she felt at this revelation, and how difficult it was to navigate a situation that had caught her completely off guard. We cover everything from internalized homophobia to feminist bookstores; plus, Randi shares how Lauren's poly coming out initially triggered a trauma response in her as a direct result of her own past struggles. It's an absolutely one of a kind mother-daughter-pansexual-poly EXTRAVAGANZA!If you'd like to get in touch with Randi, feel free to reach out to her via Lauren at @ludwigmonster on Instagram!

Every service member joining the U.S. Air Force swears an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” but in today's woke military, liberty and a well-prepared soldier are secondary to ensuring the advancement of the LGBT agenda.

When can I retire? Can I retire? How much do I need to retire? All questions folks regularly ask when thinking about their financial future and being able to quit the 9-5, sell their business or break away from the rat race and just slow down.  One of the keys is having an indication as to how much you'll need. There seems to be an endless supply of financial calculators out there.

Starting out my 2022 Sweeps Period, this is a re-edited episode that is my absolute favorite from An Older Gay Guy Show. This took place in the early 1980's while I was working as a Funeral Director & Embalmer on Cape Cod. It is the most memorable and unique experience that I ever had in the Funeral industry. It is a story that I shall never forget, and I hope you get a laugh and that it touches your heart, as it did mine. Thank you to all my wonderful listeners for once again making me a Finalist in this year's People Choice Podcast Awards ! Hugs to all of you. ~Joey

Dennis is joined via Zoom by writer-performer Will Nolan to discuss his show Gay History for Straight People hosted by his drag alter ego Leona, a 72 year old Southern lesbian who works at the Piggly Wiggly and is obsessed with Kelly Clarkson. Dennis first met Will when Will was a producer on the syndicated LGBT radio show Twist, which Dennis co-hosted from 2006 to 2008. Will talks about how he got into performing after her turned 40, where the character of Leola comes from, the reactions he's gotten from straight audiences to the show, Leola's go-to casserole and buying Leola's wardrobe from Party City and 5 Below. Dennis and Will also reminisce about their days working on Twist and their interactions with such A listers as Beyonce, Rob Thomas, Larry Kramer and Jennifer Lopez. Other topics include: appearing in the show and book Mortified, getting gay married and adopting a child before it was cool, why Kelly Clarkson is so awesome, and prank calling a John Schneider's mother because it made him feel closer to Bo Duke from Dukes of Hazzard. https://www.leolasladyland.com/

L'hôpital « Afghan-Japan » de Kaboul ne reçoit plus aucun fonds depuis plusieurs semaines. Les employés travaillent de façon bénévole dans l'établissement spécialisé dans les maladies infectieuses et dans la lutte contre le Covid-19. La situation de cette institution de santé publique en Afghanistan est révélatrice des défis du secteur de la santé en Afghanistan. Un système de santé fragilisé par 40 ans de guerre et qui dépend presque entièrement des bailleurs de fonds internationaux.  Avec les sanctions internationales qui pèsent sur le pays depuis que les talibans ont pris le pouvoir il y a presque un an, le système de santé souffre plus que jamais d'un manque de moyens et d'une couverture de soins réduite. Certains établissements de santé ont fermé leurs portes, de nombreux employés médicaux ont démissionné ou quitté le pays, ce qui laisse un nombre réduit de travailleurs qui tentent de répondre aux urgences. L'hôpital afghan-japonais à Kaboul est spécialisé dans les maladies transmissibles. Doté de machines perfectionnées, il est devenu la référence dans la prise en charge des patients atteints du Covid-19. Les 20 lits de l'unité de soins intensifs sont tous occupés par des hommes et des femmes de tous âges. Le Dr. Noorali Nazarzai est le responsable : « Ces patients sont dans des états très critiques, leurs poumons se sont détériorés à 90-95%. Tout l'oxygène qui leur est donné l'est grâce à des respirateurs. S'il n'y avait pas ces machines, nous aurions perdu la plupart de ces patients. » Ce médecin ne sait pas s'il recevra son salaire à la fin du mois, car les caisses de l'hôpital sont vides. « Le contrat de six mois que nous avions avec l'Organisation mondiale de la santé s'est achevé le 14 juillet, comme l'explique le directeur Tariq Ahmad Akbari. Ce contrat n'a pas été renouvelé. Ça nous plonge dans un état de panique et ça stresse tout notre personnel médical. » L'aide internationale finance presque à 100% les hôpitaux publics du pays. Mais la coordination et la communication entre le régime taliban et les gérants de l'aide internationale sont parfois compliquées, et ont des répercussions directes sur le système de santé. « Cela fait un an que nous vivons avec ces tensions, avec le sentiment que tout peut arriver, poursuit Tariq Ahmad Akbari. Peut-être que du personnel sera licencié, ou que nos salaires seront baissés. » ► À lire aussi : Afghanistan: les femmes subissent les mariages contraints et les emprisonnements abusifs, selon Amnesty Sans les financements de la communauté internationale, le système de santé afghan s'effondrerait. De nombreux villages n'ont pas d'accès à un centre médical. Les cliniques mobiles du Croissant-Rouge afghan sont déployées dans plusieurs provinces. Nous suivons le Dr. Sultan Mohammad dans sa tournée dans le village de Shadkhana dans la province de Kaboul. Les consultations ont lieu au premier étage d'une échoppe en construction, des dizaines de femmes en burqa, sont assises à même le sol sur des nattes en plastique. Une femme : « J'ai une douleur dans mon œil. » Le médecin : « Est-ce qu'il est rouge ? » La femme : « Non, il est juste gonflé. » Le médecin : « Est-ce que je peux voir votre œil ? » La femme : « Non. » Le Dr. Sultan Mohammad explique : « Je ne suis pas autorisé à voir son visage selon la tradition locale, donc je ne peux pas voir son œil. À l'hôpital, nous pouvons examiner les femmes, mais pas ici. Je peux seulement lui donner des médicaments en fonction des symptômes qu'elle me décrit. » Près d'eux, un infirmier soigne un enfant âgé de 10 ans blessé à la jambe : « Un chien m'a mordu il y a trois jours. Il n'était pas attaché. Il s'est jeté sur moi et m'a mordu. » La clinique mobile passe trois jours tous les deux mois dans le village : « La plupart des gens n'ont pas les moyens d'aller à l'hôpital parce que c'est très loin, poursuit le Dr. Sultan Mohammad. Si notre équipe ne venait pas ici, alors ils auraient recours à certains remèdes traditionnels qui peuvent être dangereux. » Ce jour-là, 300 patients seront auscultés gratuitement à Shadkhana par les médecins du Croissant-Rouge afghan.  ► À écouter : En Jordanie, la vie cachée de la communauté LGBT+

Nous allons aujourd'hui en Jordanie, où malgré la décriminalisation de l'homosexualité il y a plus de 70 ans, les personnes LGBT+ restent stigmatisées et rejetées par la société. Face aux risques importants de précarité, beaucoup choisissent encore de garder le silence et de vivre cachés. Ils trouvent refuge dans des groupes d'entraides et associations officieuses. C'est sur son lieu de travail, dans les quartiers centraux de la capitale jordanienne, que Moe* [prénom modifié] accepte la tenue de cette interview. Ce Jordanien de 22 ans a choisi un lieu loin des regards de la société, où il peut parler librement de son homosexualité. Dans l'espace public, au contraire, il cache tout ce qui pourrait éveiller des soupçons : « C'est difficile, car je suis un garçon efféminé. Si je veux aller dans un lieu public, je sais comment je dois m'habiller pour devenir invisible, c'est-à-dire porter des couleurs plus masculines, plus foncées. Je me coiffe d'une manière différente. Car on peut nous frapper, nous tromper, nous harceler. Il faut être vigilant. » En Jordanie, l'homosexualité et la transidentité ne sont pourtant pas illégales. Mais dans les faits, les personnes LGBT+ font face à la stigmatisation. Comme Ghazal Sabbah, Jordanienne trans de 24 ans, en situation de précarité depuis l'annonce de sa transition : « Ma famille a su que j'étais trans et ils ont commencé à m'imposer des restrictions. Ils ont essayé de m'envoyer en Arabie saoudite, de me convertir. Ma mère m'a dit qu'il fallait me soigner, m'envoyer voir un chef religieux, donc j'ai dû fuir. J'ai eu des difficultés économiques, car je n'étais pas prête financièrement, donc j'ai dû aller vivre chez un ami, puis un autre avant d'être à la rue pendant quelques jours. » ► À lire aussi : Liban : les droits de la communauté LGBT+ de plus en plus menacés C'est grâce à l'action de la communauté LGBT+ que Ghazal Sabbah est hébergée. À Amman, des réseaux d'entraide officieux se développent dans les bars, cafés et soirées privées : « Au début, j'ai cru qu'il n'y avait pas de communauté, mais tous les jours, je trouve de nouvelles personnes, des événements pro-LGBT. Il n'y a pas de réseaux officiels, tout se fait grâce aux connexions. Je connais quelques personnes qui me font parvenir sur les lieux. Eux-mêmes connaissent les propriétaires. Ils m'en parlent puis j'en parle à mes amis. Voici comment la communauté s'informe. » Mis à part ces réseaux, les soutiens à la communauté LGBT+ sont rares en Jordanie. Car peu d'organisations sont en mesure d'aider ouvertement les personnes concernées, comme l'explique cette représentante d'une association locale, qui préfère garder l'anonymat : « La plupart des ONG préfèrent travailler avec d'autres populations à cause du regard de la société sur la communauté LGBTQI. Nous devons prendre des précautions sur ce que nous faisons, nos activités et évènements. Nous ne mentionnons pas la communauté LGBTQI sur notre site internet sur Facebook, Twitter ou TikTok. Nous ne pouvons pas dire que nous les soutenons, que nous les aidons, car c'est encore un tabou ici en Jordanie. » Les autorités jordaniennes censurent régulièrement les événements et représentations LGBT+, jugés immoraux et indécents. ► À lire aussi : Turquie : des arrestations lors de la marche des fiertés interdite à Istanbul

This is a new segment that I am going to do every now and then. The news has such negative, depressing stories that sometimes I think we just need a break from it. Therefore this series will be uplifting stories with a slant towards tales with older adults. I hope that they give you the same warm feeling that they have given to me as I prepared this episode. Thank you so much for joining me today.This Sunday will be the reveal of the Finalist Slate for the 2022 Podcast Awards. Thank you to all who enjoyed the show enough this past year and took the time to vote for me. It really means more than I could explain in words.Sweeps Period 2022 will begin next week and air through the middle of September.

El aumento de casos de viruela del mono enciende las alarmas de los servicios de salud de varios países. La enfermedad, recordémoslo, no es letal en la mayoría de los casos, y se transmite con contacto físico estrecho. Estados Unidos es actualmente el país con más casos reportados de viruela del mono. Y el gobierno de Joe Biden declaró la emergencia de salud pública por esta epidemia. Una medida muy esperada por las organizaciones que asumen tareas de prevención de salud comunitaria. El gobierno de Estados Unidos, criticado por varios expertos en salud pública por su lentitud en la lucha contra la viruela del mono, declaró finalmente la emergencia sanitaria por esta epidemia. Con más de 7000 casos, Estados Unidos es, de lejos, el país que reporta más casos de esta enfermedad que afecta de momento principalmente a la población LGBT. Desde la oenegé Latino Comission on AIDS (Comité Latino contra el SIDA) que realiza tareas de prevención contra varias enfermedades, uno de los coordinadores de la organización en Nueva York, Lucciano Reberte, estima que elevar el nivel de alerta contra la viruela del mono era indispensable. "Esta declaración va a liberar dinero para poder comprar y distribuir más vacunas así como tratamientos. También permite agilizar la recolección de datos para poder diseñar mejores estrategias de salud pública", explicó.  >>> Escuche: Tres preguntas sobre la viruela del mono y sus formas de contagio El gobierno estadounidense anunció la distribución de 1 millón 100 mil dosis en los próximos meses, para Reberte esta cantidad no es suficiente para combatir la epidemia. En Nueva York están distribuyendo las vacunas "en prioridad a hombres que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres, a homosexuales, bisexuales, personas que se identifican como trabajadores sexuales y a la población transgénero. Hemos visto que las primeras personas que han tenido acceso a estas vacunas son en su mayoría hombres y blancos así que estamos abogando porque la distribución de estas pocas vacunas disponibles sean más equitativa, para que les llegue a poblaciones minoritarias y personas de color".  >>> Lea tambien: En Nueva York, aumentan los casos de viruela del mono pero faltan vacunas Varias personas LGBT tanto en Europa como en Estados Unidos han expresado el temor de una estigmatización como la que se vivió durante los peores años de la epidemia de VIH / SIDA.   "Es importante reconocer que la mayoría de los casos de viruela del mono, el 90% de los casos se ha dado entre hombres que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres y miembros de la comunidad LGTBQ. Sin embargo es una enfermedad que le puede dar a cualquier persona por lo que el mensaje de educación y de prevención tiene que ir dirigido para todos, por supuesto libre de estigmatización y discriminación para que las estrategias de salud pública sean efectivas", concluyó Lucciano Reberte de Latino Comission on AIDS. >>> Lea tambien: Comunidad gay de España se resigna a la abstinencia para protegerse de la viruela del mono

Jesse Singal has disappeared off the face of the Earth. Trace’s investigation leads straight to “Stonewall,” a shadowy LGBT charity that is said to have infiltrated the highest levels of the British government. Katie leaks the news to Gawker Media, resulting in deadly riots erupting across New York over remaining supplies of Blocked And Reported. In an attempt to quell the chaos spreading across the nation, President Biden invites Katie to join him on a nationwide broadcast to announce that strategic reserves of Blocked And Reported have been deployed.

On October 18, 2003, 20-year-old Rachel Good was doing what young people in small towns do: she was hanging out with her friends in a parking lot. Rachel and her friends chatted in the Elkton Volunteer Fire Department parking lot until it got dark. At that point, Rachel decided it was time to call it a night, and she drove home. Though her car was later found there, Rachel was never seen again. At first, no one knew what could have happened to the pregnant young woman. Did she run away due to legal problems? But soon, a more sinister story would emerge. One of a secret relationship and police misconduct in the small central Virginia town. Now, nearly 19 years later, there is only one suspect in Rachel's disappearance, but no charges have ever been filed.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Rachel Good, contact the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation Culpeper Field Office at (540) 829-7400.Si tiene alguna información sobre la desaparición de Rachel Good, comuníquese con la oficina de campo de Culpeper de la Oficina de Investigación Criminal de la Policía Estatal de Virginia al (540) 829-7400.We are proud members of Spreaker Prime and The Darkcast Network.Find us everywhere: https://linktr.ee/attwgpodGet episodes early and ad-free on Patreon: https://patreon.com/attwgpodMerch store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/attwgpodFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blog: https://andthentheyweregone.com/blogThis week's promo is from Beyond the Rainbow: True Crimes of the LGBT

One thing Democrats have done correctly is bring America from the most respected country in the world to the bottom in matter of two years. Grooming, transgenderism, and pushing the LGBT agenda are the latest tools of the Democrats to not only control the narrative, but push America into literal hell. Can America survive a progressive administration? Jorge Ventura, field reporter at the Daily Caller, joins the podcast to discuss how this administration is going to destroy this nation if we don't wake up. As the Biden administration plans to declare “monkeypox” a public health emergency, it is time to see what this really means. Harris County in Texas decided to submit plans to spend about $1.7 million on a monkeypox task force. Is this smart? Los Angeles will now hire non-citizens to work in government positions in the county. An estimate shows that about 880,000 non-citizens live in Los Angeles County.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Thursday, August 4th, 2022. Today in the news, a company is having to pay millions to employees over denying religious exemptions to COVID shots, big tech companies encourage their employees to do more than 15 minutes of real, actual work… Education Consulting Firm Seeks to Promote ‘Queer Mathematics’ in K-12 Schools, California to fund heroin injection sites in Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco, and of course, my favorite topic… sports! All of this, on the Thursday edition of the Daily NewsBrief… But first, FLF Conference Plug: Folks, our upcoming Fight Laugh Feast Conference is just 2-months away from happening in Knoxville TN, October 6-8! Don't miss beer & psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers which includes George Gilder, Jared Longshore, Pastor Wilson, Dr. Ben Merkle, Pastor Toby, and we can’t say yet…also dont miss our awesome vendors, meeting new friends, and stuff for the kids too…like jumpy castles and accidental infant baptisms!

We can’t wait to fellowship, sing Psalms, and celebrate God’s goodness in Knoxville October 6-8. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/aug/2/company-pay-millions-employees-over-denying-religi/ Company to pay millions to employees over denying religious exemptions to COVID-19 shots A Chicago-area hospital system could pay more than $10 million for denying employees religious accommodations to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, according to a proposed settlement negotiation pending before an Illinois federal court. Lawyers for the plaintiffs claim this is the first class-action settlement over religious discrimination and the COVID-19 vaccines. A judge will hold a hearing to review the payout by NorthShore University HealthSystem later this month. More than a dozen employees sued in October, alleging a violation of civil rights after the company refused to give religious accommodations to those seeking an opt-out from its COVID-19 vaccine mandate issued last year. “Let this case be a warning to employers that violated Title VII. It is especially significant and gratifying that this first classwide COVID settlement protects health care workers. Health-care workers are heroes who daily give their lives to protect and treat their patients. They are needed now more than ever,” said Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel which represented the employees. The class size, depending on the judge’s decision to certify the class and approve the settlement, could be more than 500 employees who were either forced into taking the shot against their religious beliefs — or who refused to do so and were terminated. More of this please! https://nypost.com/2022/08/02/reality-bytes-coddled-tech-staffers-working-harder-is-job-no-1/ Reality ‘bytes’ coddled tech staffers: Working harder is job No. 1! The world’s tech titans are having panic attacks: It turns out that those Millennials and Gen-Z’ers who provide the infrastructure that make our Internet and social media work don’t want to work too hard. It’s a rude awak­ening for the woke tech cognoscenti who long showered their beloved employees with lots of love — unlimited sick days, flexible work-from-home rules, ping-pong in the office, craft beers and the like. When times were flush, it just wasn’t that easy finding college grads who can write endless amounts of code and siphon all that user information from customer accounts that generated all those profits. The tech gravy train is now suffering from a serious bout of recession-induced panic. Profits are falling and so are stock valuations of what was once the most valuable piece of Corporate America. The dudes who run our tech industry are looking for ways to make up the difference, discovering that those pampered brats are a pretty unproductive and increasingly unaffordable lot as times get tough. That’s why the normally flaccid Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed a trace of testosterone-fueled anger during a company-wide town hall last month. An employee asked about extended vacation time as Face­book (now formally called Meta for reasons no one can fathom) was preparing to announce weak ads sales, lower earnings and cratering revenues. “Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn’t be here,” Zuckerberg snapped. Ouch. Google CEO Sundar Pichai was a bit more diplomatic, in a techie and creative kind of way. He recently told employees he’s creating a weird initiative called “Simplicity Sprint” to cut costs as Google suffers declines in profits and stock price. Employees are being asked how to make Google more productive because “it’s clear we are facing a challenging macro environment with more uncertainty ahead,” he said, according to CNBC. It doesn’t take much reading between the lines to conclude Pichai is basically asking employees how he and his team can weed out their unproductive colleagues. Can’t wait to hear their thoughts. Man, it’s almost like that’s an ad for our friends over at RedBalloon… speaking of which! This ad is brought to you by… no not RedBalloon, they had an ad yesterday.

CASEL is sponsored by the Allstate Foundation. The Queer Mathematics Teacher is an educational consulting firm that seeks to promote “queer mathematics” in American K-12 classrooms. The firm sells a book titled “Talking about LGBTQ+ Identity,” which includes chapters titled “The Gender Unicorn,” “How Do I Talk About LGBTQ+ Identity With My Students,” and “What if I Receive Pushback?” The firm also offers coaching services to teachers, which include curriculum design, district-wide audits, and professional development workshops. The site claims, “The ability to consider sexuality irrelevant in the mathematics context is a heteronormatively privileged position” and notes that some areas of expertise include “queer pedagogy,” “teaching mathematics for social justice,” “Fostering Students’ Growth Mindset (While Advocating for Systemic Change),” and “humanizing Mathematics Education for LGBTQ+ Students.” Waid confesses in her article that math used to be a source of anxiety for her, which she links with her sexuality. She writes, “I associated mathematics with profound anxiety, intricately tied to my fears of confronting my queer identity.” The left-wing activist even goes so far as to suggest that activist educators should teach critical race theory and gender theory, even if it means breaking the law. Waid writes, “I implore my colleagues to ask: How can we work within (or outside) the confines of these laws to center Transformative SEL and student thriving in our teaching?” One lesson, called “Progress Pride Flag,” is intended for elementary school children. It showcases a pride flag featuring a triangle with black, brown, and other colors that represent the transgender movement and suggests that educator-activists ask students questions like “What does this symbol represent?” Another lesson plan, intended for middle school students and titled “Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation by Generation,” asks children to speculate as to why there has been an increase in LGBT self-identification among younger generations. Well you heard it here first, Math is gay. Moving on… https://thepostmillennial.com/california-to-fund-heroin-injection-sites-in-los-angeles-oakland-and-san-francisco?utm_campaign=64487 California to fund heroin injection sites in Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco A bill passed Monday in the California legislature that would enable Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco to open heroin injection sites for drug users is headed to Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom's desk for signature. Senate Bill 57 by State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) passed in the Senate by a margin of 21-11. The bill had previously passed the Assembly in June on a 42-29 vote. Under the new legislation, the three cities would be allowed to establish the sites. The legislature has previously approved legislation allowing safe heroin injection sites in 2018, but the bill was vetoed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat. The bill would authorize cities and counties to establish "safe consumption sites" where addicts could use illegal narcotics under supervision. Those accessing the "hygienic space supervised by trained staff" could consume pre-obtained drugs. Program staff would be trained to administer an "opioid antagonist" in the event of an overdose. Under federal law, it is currently a felony to operate a space to distribute or use a controlled substance. President Joe Biden co-authored the federal statute during his time as a senator. https://twitter.com/i/status/1420619575599669248 - Play Video Of course, now Biden is changing his tune on this topic… I wonder why? It couldn’t have anything to do with his son could it? If signed by Newsom, the pilot program would operate for five years, ending in 2028. In a written statement, Wiener claimed the sites are needed due to rising "dramatic and preventable" fatal overdoses in San Francisco and across the country. 711 people died from overdoses in San Francisco in 2020, followed by another 640 deaths in 2021. California saw over 5,500 deaths related to opioid overdoses in 2020, almost a 70 percent increase from 2019. Wiener said, "Safe consumption sites are a proven model to help people avoid overdose deaths, reduce HIV and hepatitis transmission, reduce syringe litter, and help people access treatment. This legislation isn't about whether we want people to use drugs. Rather, it's an acknowledgment that people are using drugs, and our choice is whether we want to make every effort to help them survive and get healthy." However, according to recent studies and data, these sites do the opposite. A 2020 study from the Alberta government on the province's Safe Consumption Sites (SCS) f0und sites result in increased calls to police, lack of response from police, increased needle debris on public and private property, increased crime, increased overdose deaths, and minimal amounts of users seeking treatment. Last December, former New York City Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City Department of Health ignored federal law and announced the opening of legalized heroin injection sites. In 2021, the Rhode Island General Assembly passed legislation aimed at opening the first heroin injection sites in the US. Weiner has backed legislation to put biological males in women's prisons, reduce penalties for some sex offenders, and create a "gender identity" sanctuary for underage children across the country to seek medicalized gender treatment without parental consent. This is the kind of evil we’re dealing with in our government ladies and gentleman. Now, it’s time for the topic that I love, sports! Though, this isn’t really sports related… this has to do with a former football player named Herschel Walker, who is running for the Georgia Senate! So sort of sports related… https://thepoliticalinsider.com/herschel-walker-tells-msnbc-they-need-jesus-after-contributor-says-walker-is-what-gop-wants-from-their-negroes/?utm_source=home-featured Herschel Walker Tells MSNBC They ‘Need Jesus’ After Contributor Says Walker is ‘What GOP Wants From Their Negroes’ Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker slammed MSNBC and suggested they “need Jesus” after political pundit Elie Mystal called him “clearly unintelligent” and “what Republicans want from their negroes.” Mystal’s comments came during a weekend segment on an edition of The Cross Connection on MSNBC, with host Tiffany Cross. Elie Mystal: GOP Likes Herschel Walker Because He Does What He’s Told! Mitch McConnell Pulls Strings- Play 0:00 - 2:23 Elie Mystal’s racist diatribe against Herschel Walker is particularly ignorant when one considers his entire gimmick is to parrot DNC talking points on a pro-DNC network. Ignorance and doing as he’s expected is his entire game. Walker responded to the comments by suggesting the network find Jesus. https://twitter.com/i/status/1554169664313360385 - Play Video Touchdown mr. Walker… Touchdown. I’ll leave it at that.

Those accessing the "hygienic space supervised by trained staff" could consume pre-obtained drugs. Program staff would be trained to administer an "opioid antagonist" in the event of an overdose. Under federal law, it is currently a felony to operate a space to distribute or use a controlled substance. President Joe Biden co-authored the federal statute during his time as a senator. https://twitter.com/i/status/1420619575599669248 - Play Video Of course, now Biden is changing his tune on this topic… I wonder why? It couldn’t have anything to do with his son could it? If signed by Newsom, the pilot program would operate for five years, ending in 2028. In a written statement, Wiener claimed the sites are needed due to rising "dramatic and preventable" fatal overdoses in San Francisco and across the country. 711 people died from overdoses in San Francisco in 2020, followed by another 640 deaths in 2021. California saw over 5,500 deaths related to opioid overdoses in 2020, almost a 70 percent increase from 2019. Wiener said, "Safe consumption sites are a proven model to help people avoid overdose deaths, reduce HIV and hepatitis transmission, reduce syringe litter, and help people access treatment. This legislation isn't about whether we want people to use drugs. Rather, it's an acknowledgment that people are using drugs, and our choice is whether we want to make every effort to help them survive and get healthy." However, according to recent studies and data, these sites do the opposite. A 2020 study from the Alberta government on the province's Safe Consumption Sites (SCS) f0und sites result in increased calls to police, lack of response from police, increased needle debris on public and private property, increased crime, increased overdose deaths, and minimal amounts of users seeking treatment. Last December, former New York City Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City Department of Health ignored federal law and announced the opening of legalized heroin injection sites. In 2021, the Rhode Island General Assembly passed legislation aimed at opening the first heroin injection sites in the US. Weiner has backed legislation to put biological males in women's prisons, reduce penalties for some sex offenders, and create a "gender identity" sanctuary for underage children across the country to seek medicalized gender treatment without parental consent. This is the kind of evil we’re dealing with in our government ladies and gentleman. Now, it’s time for the topic that I love, sports! Though, this isn’t really sports related… this has to do with a former football player named Herschel Walker, who is running for the Georgia Senate! So sort of sports related… https://thepoliticalinsider.com/herschel-walker-tells-msnbc-they-need-jesus-after-contributor-says-walker-is-what-gop-wants-from-their-negroes/?utm_source=home-featured Herschel Walker Tells MSNBC They ‘Need Jesus’ After Contributor Says Walker is ‘What GOP Wants From Their Negroes’ Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker slammed MSNBC and suggested they “need Jesus” after political pundit Elie Mystal called him “clearly unintelligent” and “what Republicans want from their negroes.” Mystal’s comments came during a weekend segment on an edition of The Cross Connection on MSNBC, with host Tiffany Cross. Elie Mystal: GOP Likes Herschel Walker Because He Does What He’s Told! Mitch McConnell Pulls Strings- Play 0:00 - 2:23 Elie Mystal’s racist diatribe against Herschel Walker is particularly ignorant when one considers his entire gimmick is to parrot DNC talking points on a pro-DNC network. Ignorance and doing as he’s expected is his entire game. Walker responded to the comments by suggesting the network find Jesus. https://twitter.com/i/status/1554169664313360385 - Play Video Touchdown mr. Walker… Touchdown. I’ll leave it at that.
