Quote I

I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior, New York Governor "Karen" Hochul

Quote II

"Minnesota has a reputation and long history of protecting LGBTQ people. That reputation is the crux of this." Aaron Zimmerman, executive director of the LGBTQ nonprofit PFund Foundation

Quote III

“So how can you take — as leader — how do you take an issue where the American people support us and lead us into a box, where now, when a bill is produced, it is worse than doing nothing. When that’s rejected, we get blamed. I mean, you got to work overtime to screw that up.” US Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI)

I am so shocked. I never imagined that this person would be accused of something so dastardly.

Wisconsin Human Resource Director Arrested on Child Porn and Exploitation Charges

The human resource director for Outagamie County, Wisconsin was arrested on Friday in connection with possession of child pornography and sexual exploitation of a child. Adam Westbrook, an alleged member of the Brew City “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” faces four counts for each offense.

According to Fox 11, Westbrook was taken into custody in Neenah following a search warrant executed by multiple agencies, including the Neenah Police Department and the State Department of Justice as part of a larger Kenosha County investigation.

Libs of TikTok broke the news on X, reporting that Westbrook is an “anti-Catholic drag queen” in his spare time.

And while we are discussing the abomination of mankind, Did you hear what happened at St. Patrick's Cathedral?

Catholic officials in New York held a Mass of Reparation on Saturday following what it called “scandalous behavior” at a Thursday funeral for Cecilia Gentili, an atheist transgender woman and former sex worker lauded by mourners as the “mother of all whores.”

Gentili died Feb. 6 at age 52 of undisclosed causes.

The Feb. 15 service drew a crowd estimated at more than 1,000 to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan, one of the most prominent Catholic parishes in the nation. The funerals of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, baseball legend George Herman “Babe” Ruth, and several World Trade Center 9/11 first responders have been held there, and the structure is a Fifth Avenue landmark.

EBRUARY 18--Mitchell Cooper Vest is 6’ 6” tall, weighs 250 pounds, and is known to wear a kilt.

Which made it easier for Texas business owners to identify Vest, 60, as the man who recently came into their antique stores and shoved various items up his rectum before placing them “back on the shelf for display,” according to Texas court records.

Police allege that Vest (pictured below) entered several shops in Spring, a Houston suburb, last week and engaged in criminal mischief, a misdemeanor.

Specifically, cops say, Vest first entered the “Antique Gallery of Houston” and placed a makeup brush and a “Restoration Hardware piece” in his anus before returning the merchandise, valued at $130, to the shelf.

Vest then showed up at “The Curiosity Shop,” which is located inside an antiques mall. The shop’s owner, Alisha Osborne, told police that Vest took an antique bottle opener and a “Tobacco Tent Can” (total value: $74) and “placed them into his anus under his green skirt/kilt, then returned the items to the shelf.”
