“The war. What is more opposite of music? The silence of ruined cities and killed people. Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars. Over 400 children have been injured and 153 children died, and we will never see them drawing.
“Our parents are happy to wake up in the morning in bomb shelters, but alive. Our loved ones don’t know if we will be together again. The war doesn’t let us choose who survives and who stays in eternal silence.
“Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals. Even to those who can’t hear them. But the music will break through anyway.
“We defend our freedom. To live. To love. To sound. On our land, we are fighting Russia which brings horrible silence with its bombs.
“Fill the silence with your music. Fill it today. Tell our story. Tell the truth about the war on your social networks and TV. But not silence.” – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, addressing last night’s Grammy Awards.

Trey Gowdy Demands Madison Cawthorn Name Names
Former GOP rep turned Fox host Trey Gowdy unloaded on Madison Cawthorn’s “orgies and cocaine” claims last night.
My question for the congressman is simply this: Who? Give us the names. If you’re being invited to cocaine parties by colleagues, tell us who invited you? Who used illicit drugs in front of you? Who broke the very laws they passed, and expect to us follow?
Which of your colleagues believes he or she is above the law? Who is doubling as a deviant by night while talking about family values by day? The good ones don’t make the news, the bad ones get all of the attention.
This modern obsession with negativity does not need to be enhanced by exaggeration. I was in DC for eight years, and the people I associated with it were nothing like what this congressman described.
Tim Scott’s idea of a wild time was ordering dessert. Kevin McCarthy did take to us see movies, and one time, he did order butter popcorn if that counts.
Joe Kennedy’s nickname was ‘milk,’ because It was the strongest thing he drank. Jason Chaffetz didn’t need milk because he didn’t even drink coffee.
The people that I was around did none of what you described ever, so if you are invited to NC -17 parties and watching people do cocaine, you are hanging around with the wrong people, but you should name them, so their constituents know what they are doing on the people’s time.
And if none of what you described really happened, you need to admit that too. Either tell us who you saw doing cocaine and who invited you to sexually explicit parties, or admit what we suspect, which is that you made it up.
And then ask yourself where fairness and honesty fall on the list of qualities we should be looking for in members of Congress.
I think he doth protest too much. Look we have long heard of the amount of drinking and illicit sex high ranking government people do. Matt Gaetz is accused of running drug fueled sex parties. Do we think he was the only one?

Jesus March Hits West Hollywood’s LGBT Rainbow District
For all those that say religious organizations are the true victims of the LGBTQ+ rights movements I resent this. Often I read how religious people or those on the right claim that the LGBTQ+ are pushing their lifestyle on others, forcing it down their throats I present this. Once again it is the religious, the church going Jesus lovers forcing their way on other people. In this case they go to where these people are living to harass them and tell them they disapprove of their lives and who they are. Way to win converts. That is sadly the way it is most of the time.
“We got the joy of the Holy Ghost!” Chanted a group of Jesus lovers as they made their way up and down Santa Monica Boulevard in the heart of West Hollywood’s LGBT Rainbow District as part of a Jesus March pop-up lead by Sean Feucht.
The Jesus Marchers gathered at West Hollywood Park at roughly 7:30pm. There was a small performance by a band and speakers acknowledged that they were about to embark upon an area occupied by LGBT people.
One speaker said he was artificially inseminated by a lesbian couple and he complained that he never heard the word Jesus for the first 16 years of his life. “There is hope for these people,” he said while pointing towards Santa Monica Boulevard.
The crowd, which also included small children, waved flags bearing Jesus’ name, they danced on the street, pounded on drums, and chanted, “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus loves you California,” while they passed Rocco’s WeHo, Mother lode, The Abbey, and made their way past Stache WeHo, towards Micky’s WeHo and then headed back to West Hollywood park.
For the most part West Hollywood nightlife patrons look amused. A video posted on Sean Feucht’s Twitter account captured some highlight’s from the West Hollywood Jesus March. The reception seemed to be jovial but some were not impressed and gave the Jesus marchers the middle finger.
According to his website, Sean Feucht is a speaker, author, missionary, artist, activist, and the founder of multiple global movements including Burn 24-7, a worship and prayer movement now spanning six continents and more than 250 cities; Light A Candle, a global missions and compassion movement bringing light, hope, healing, and tangible love to the hardest, darkest, and most isolated places of the earth; Hold the Line, a movement seeking to engage the church and young people to inform, educate, and inspire the next generation of leaders to stand for what is right in the governmental arena; and Let Us Worship, a movement across America gathering believers to worship and pray boldly for revival.
Feucht is also a singer, songwriter, and former worship leader at Bethel Church.
He ran unsuccessfully as a Republican in California’s 3rd Congressional District. Since running for Congress, Feucht has hosted large outdoor worship gatherings to protest government restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These events have seen thousands of people gather to worship.
Feucht believes “God’s divine design for marriage, one man and one woman, married for life,” reads a post on his website, where ads are pro Trump and promote My Pillow. He’s also anti-abortion, and believes “His plan for humanity, ‘male and female he created them,’ so he’s not too keen on transgender people, because it’s like, what would Jesus do?
“ 1 Corinthians 11:14, KJV: Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?”
I know. Why would he read his own bible? that’s for OTHER people.
We can’t let the left indoctrinate https://twitter.com/seanfeucht/status/1510336515573878789?s=20&t=MwaTMMFMi82Icbx3ZzNxpg
There are hundreds of cities and towns and places in Greater Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim and these guys decide to March in the tiny half-mile enclave where gays feel a small amount of safety and freedom. This is an intimidation. it’s every bit like the KKK marching in Skokie. The press will sit on their hands rather than cover it for what it is.
These are the people who will run the House after the November elections if we don’t get our shit together.
Oh for fuck’s sake! Let’s bring OUR bullhorns to their church during Sunday services.
Ron DeSantis’s Spox Calls For Nationwide Anti-LGBTQ Referendum Similar To One That Just Failed In Hungary
The more important news is that Hungary’s proposed anti-LGBTQ referendum failed to go forward in yesterday’s national election.
Hungary’s referendum on a law concerning LGBTQ issues especially concerning minors – criticized as homophobic both within and outside the country – has failed to reach a minimum quorum of 50 percent of valid votes, the National Election Office said Monday.
Only 44 percent of the votes cast Sunday were found to be valid, rendering the process null. Besides the valid votes, another 20 percent were not counted because over incorrect markings or protest messages, as demanded by LGBT rights organizations and the opposition.
The referendum sought popular endorsement of a law that was initially introduced to fight child abuse. However, the ruling Fidesz party led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, added to it sections on pedophilia and a ban on talking to minors about homosexuality and sex change.
The news above has apparently not reached DeSantis’s spokesperson Christina Pushaw, who was recently hailed as a “gay icon” in a column published by the Log Cabin Republicans. Last month Pushaw participated in an online pro-Don’t Say Gay forum orchestrated by convicted homocon rioter Brandon Straka.
The right smells blood in the water and they are coming for the LGBTQ+ as hard as they can. This is no longer just about grifting money out of the believers. They think they can do to the gays, queers, and trans people what they did to abortion in the SCOTUS. If they can convince the people that gays are trying to groom, prey on, molest, recruit, and make your kids gay / transgender then they can not only win elections but force all those icky people back into the closet and slam the doors shut. Where have we heard all that slander before against gay people? In the past it was used all the time. Anita Bryant was spouting it in Florida in the 1970s, and the right has not updated their attack menu. It was wrong then and it is wrong now. But it is the last gasp of a dying political party that is shrinking and wants to keep its minority rule. They need a villain to do it, to keep their base riled up. And if they win using these old tools they will keep trying to drive the country regressive and to vilify anyone not a white Christian cis straight person. Prepare to be forced to pay a tax to the local Christian church sect of your choice because that is required in countries that religions take over. Also all schools will promote and teach the Church doctrine as is practiced in some countries now. I did not know public schools in the US had to enforce or use the doctrines of the Christain faith, but I guess they do in the red states. Will advanced learning be the next thing on the chopping block? Only the children of the wealthy will have advanced education. Workers’ kids will be taught only enough as the job requires. All hail the return to the dark ages of robber barons.

Tulsi Gabbard Says Florida’s Bill Targeting ‘Woke Sexual’ Teaching in Schools Doesn’t Go Far Enough
Former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has said she was “shocked” after reading Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education Bill,” but not for the same reasons as many other Democrats. The legislation, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by opponents, forbids discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in public school classrooms for kindergarten through third grade, which Gabbard says may not go far enough.
“I was shocked to learn it only protects kids from kindergarten until third grade. Third grade? What about 12th grade or not at all?” Gabbard said in a video posted to her Twitter on Monday. The former congresswoman then turned her sights on the government, saying they have “no place in our personal lives” or “our bedrooms.”
Parental rights, she claimed, “are under attack all across the country,” including in Florida where the “Don’t Say Gay” bill has become a lightning rod for controversy. Critics claim the bill discriminates and could affect what is taught in classrooms, while supporters have pointed out the fact that the word “gay” appears nowhere in the short bill.
Gabbard, who unsuccessfully ran for the 2020 presidential nomination as a Democrat, called on schools to focus on essential education, something Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has also said when defending the education bill.
“Our schools are failing. Nationally, 34 percent of our students are below basic reading level in the fourth grade. 25 percent of high school graduates are functionally illiterate. Now I’m confident that if our schools focused on educating our kids … we would see our literacy rates improve and set our young people up for success,” Gabbard said.
