Five Quick Things: Are Democrats the Gay-Porn-For-Kids Party?
by

It would seem so, as we’ll see below.

We didn’t have a Spectacle podcast this week, as Melissa was on injured reserve with some sort of a plague, and I’m in the last stages of finishing the new book (it’s about Obama and the damage he’s done and is still doing, and it’ll be out this summer), but in the episode two weeks ago, we talked with American Spectator editor Paul Kengor about how there seems to be evil in the air.

Not to make too partisan a thing about this, because we’ve got bipartisan problems with evil. But there’s a particular political party that rushes to embrace every vice, every degeneracy, and moral turpitude they can.

And there’s a fresh bit of hell you’ve probably seen where you live lately.

1. But Gay Porn Is Special, Dontcha Know

Daniel Greenfield has a good piece at Front Page magazine about what they’re doing in the public libraries, and he’s correct on all points:

Biden launched his 2024 presidential campaign with an ad attacking Republicans for keeping a book featuring a 10-year-old performing sex acts out of schools.

“’Lawn Boy‘, one of the books shown in the Biden ad, includes lines like, “I was ten years old, but it’s true. I put Doug Goble’s d___ in my mouth.”

According to Biden, whose administration had previously colluded to investigate parents rallying against sexualizing schoolchildren with graphic materials like these as domestic terrorists, anyone opposed to having ‘Lawn Boy’ in schools is a “MAGA extremist”. While that assault on parents was stifled, under Biden, the Department of Education is launching a new attack.

Last year, the Forsyth County School District in Georgia pulled “All Boys Aren’t Blue, along with 7 other books from middle school shelves. It brought back all the books except ‘Boys’.

Now Biden is going after them.

The Department of Education conducted a civil rights investigation accusing the school district of creating “a hostile environment for students based on sex”.

How did the Georgia school district do this?

According to the Department of Education investigation letter, at the behest of the school board, “books that were obviously sexually explicit or pornographic” detailing “graphic details of sexual acts” were removed from school libraries.

This would have included All Boys Aren’t Blue which includes sections such as, “he reached his hand down and pulled out my d____. He quickly went to giving me h___” and “for the first few minutes, we dry humped and grinded.”

The school district launched its review after Mama Bears of Forsyth County made headlines by reading excerpts of the graphic materials being pushed on children at school board meetings. The materials were so shocking that the activist mothers were told to stop and one was banned from school board meetings.

The Department of Education launched its investigation to aid supporters of sexualizing children, but found nothing to justify the false accusations of racial or sexual discrimination. But a mere lack of evidence of wrongdoing means nothing to a predatory woke bureaucracy.

The whole thing is well worth your time, but I’ve hit on this a couple of times at my site because we’ve had this issue in Louisiana, and there are a couple of basic things we should understand here.

First of all, and we have to keep saying this because again and again the lies have come forth in a storm on issues like this one, it isn’t conservatives who are on offense on the question of “book-banning.” Conservatives are on defense here. The people on offense are the ones who are filling public and school libraries with sexually explicit books. That’s something that is violative of the status quo, not preservative of it. Putting porn in front of kids has, for the entire history of Western civilization, been considered an atrocious crime against public order. This is what’s known as contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile, and five minutes ago, it was the kind of thing that made continued residence in a community where you perpetrated it a less-than-advantageous strategy.

But now you’re a hero if you do it, and the people trying to stop you are book-banners, in the words of people like Gavin Newsom.

Next, we’ve got the usual okey-doke being played here, in which the Left will deny that the offense is happening, and alternatively they’ll deny that it’s an offense at all but instead a wonderful thing that you’re wrong to be offended by. Everywhere there have been controversies over the sexual filth being injected into libraries, it’s begun with a denial that the people trying to get rid of the pornography — whether it’s Drag Queen Story Hour or books about teenagers engaging in sodomy — are reacting to real things.

The gaslighting is so explicit and in-your-face that one wonders who they think they’re going to persuade.

But the really noxious piece here is the underlying contention, which is that gay porn isn’t porn. Put differently, if it’s about the queer lifestyle, it gets a privilege that the straights can’t claim. So kids curious about sexuality get to find out about buggery and transgenderism before they find out about straight sex.

There is no way to characterize this other than to say it’s absolutely evil, and the people pushing it are absolute wreckers of society. But to them, it’s all about power — if they can hook your kids on gay porn in the library with your tax dollars, what can’t they do to you?

2. His Name Is Fred Mills, and He’s the Lowest of the Low

Something else from here in Louisiana needs some attention in this space, because on Wednesday there was a vote in the state Senate Health and Welfare Committee on HB 648, a bill that would ban pediatric sex changes and the chemical castration of children in the state. The bill had sailed through the House with a veto-proof 71–24 majority that included a few Democrats.

But when it got to Senate Health and Welfare, it got voted down by a 5–4 margin. The committee’s Republican chairman, a despicable fraud named Fred Mills, voted with the four Democrats to kill it.

Mills is a pharmacist who looks an awful lot like he’s on Big Pharma’s take. Greg Price had a couple of items on Twitter that were very much on point:

The thing is, it’s not just that Fred Mills is a public transvestite and a crypto-leftist. It’s that he’s termed out after this year and his political career is over, so his vote in that committee hearing has zero political ramifications — though his pharmacy and the bank he owns a part of might very well find themselves short of customers, which wouldn’t be very surprising or all that unfortunate.

But what’s really going on here is Mills falling on the sword so lots of other RINOs in the Louisiana Senate don’t have to make what they think is a tough floor vote.

And that’s so stupid it defies description. Louisianans overwhelmingly want a ban on child sex changes, and Republican voters in particular are pretty close to unanimous about it. Voting for this bill is actually more cowardly than voting against, if the concern is pissing off your constituents.

But not voting at all is the really self-serving move.

The antidote to this is a discharge petition to get the bill onto the Senate floor. And the great thing about the discharge petition is we’ll all know who signs it and who doesn’t, which holds just as much accountability as the floor vote would.

But Mills had a bill that made its way to the House floor on Thursday, and Rep. Alan Seabaugh, who chairs the state’s Freedom Caucus (full disclosure: I’m running the Louisiana Freedom Caucus PAC), slapped an amendment on it that was absolutely brilliant:

The House members got such a kick out of Seabaugh’s amendment that it passed literally unanimously, with even all the Democrats voting for it.

We’ll see if HB 648 has a resurrection of some kind before the end of this legislative session. If not, it will surely be enacted next year when there’s a Republican governor and a few less low-life frauds like Fred Mills in the Legislature.

3. Speaking of Discharge Petitions…

Also Wednesday, there was a bit of a show in the House on Capitol Hill. I had a bigger writeup on this at RVIVR, and you’re welcome to check that out, but here’s the video:

The gist of this is that the Democrats are trying to find five House Republicans who’ll commit political suicide and discharge a “clean” debt limit hike to the House floor where they think they can pass it. Mind you, they can’t pass a “clean” debt limit hike in the Senate, which they do control.

At the other place, I note that this reeks of desperation. I might be wrong. They might just be stupid. Like I’ve said, though, the debt limit fight as currently constituted is a game of chicken with a psychopath.

4. Let’s Keep That Woke Corporate Destruction Going

Target is obviously on its way to Bud Light hell, despite its C-suite descending into a panicked effort to keep that from happening. Except it’s too late, and the transing of its kids’ department in time for Pride Month was highly foreseeable.

The stock is taking a beating, and frankly it’s well-deserved and even a good thing. If Target were to go the way of JCPenney, maybe that will offer a breath of life to mom-and-pop retail.

And then there’s the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have to have the dumbest front office in all of sports. This is who the Dodgers have sided with and opted to give an award to as part of their Pride Month festivities, over the strenuous objections of Catholics:

The drag performers call themselves “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” and describe their group as “a leading-edge order of queer and trans nuns.” Though the group claims that they are not anti-Catholic, the tagline on their website states: “Go forth and sin some more,” apparently mocking Jesus Christ’s words to a biblical woman caught in adultery.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Tax filings show that as of 2020, the group’s president was Marie-Noelle Murphy, a legal secretary at Friedman McCubbin Law Group, LLP in San Francisco, California. Murphy, reached by phone, chided The Daily Signal for calling her at work and directed press inquiries to her Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence email.

According to a report from the Catholic League on the group’s anti-Catholic exploits, the performers have been insulting the Catholic Church since 1979 through “Hunky Jesus” contests on Easter Sundays, mock Masses featuring “holy communion wafers and tequila,” “exorcism” and a “Condom Savior Mass,” prizes for “hottest confessions” at a San Diego gay bar, and more.

“Our next step is to persuade Catholics in the Los Angeles area not to attend Pride Night on June 16,” Catholic League President Bill Donohue said Tuesday, the Catholic News Agency reported. “By boycotting this event, we can send a message to the Dodgers, and to Major League Baseball, that anti-Catholic bigotry is unacceptable.”

Sexual degeneracy and anti-Christian bigotry make for a pretty unholy mix. Again, there’s a specific political persuasion pushing this on an unwilling public. We can’t call it evil?

5. From

I wouldn’t have given it that name, but it’s really a quality show. From is streaming on MGM+ now, though the first season (they’re dropping an episode per week of season 2 on MGM+ now, and it’s halfway through the season) is now available on Amazon Prime.

I’m not going to give you too deep a description, but the show comes from the same people who brought us Lost. And it’s similar to Lost, though so far I’d argue it’s a bit less abusive of the audience.

The premise of it is this: people keep getting lost on back roads, from all over the country, and ending up in this little town you can’t get out of. There’s a road leading out of town, but it just brings you back in. And when the sun goes down, you’re going to need to be indoors because there are monsters who’ll eat you.

Yes, it’s a weird plot. But the characters are great (and I’m a sucker for well-written, well-developed characters), and there’s more mystery than horror here.

Here’s a trailer:
