Yes, just like home printed money, one cannot but anything with home grown food.

I'm sure that for those interested it would be possible to sell produce grown in the garden.

For more than it cost? Most home growers cannot even give away the excess cucumbers.

The Fort Worth Star Telegram ran an encouraging story yesterday with this headline:




The restaurant has planned a gala, premium-priced New Year’s Eve party including a fire thrower, a magician, a palm reader, dinner, music, a DJ, and several drag performers offering “comedy and cabaret.” But, according to the story, after an “onslaught of complaints,” the restaurant changed up its New Year’s Eve programming, deleting the drag performers:




To be clear: neither I nor most people who complained about the show hate transsexual people. I’m not advocating to make drag illegal or banning it. But if most customers feel adding drag to the pricey New Year’s experience is offensive, either because it is immoral, disrespectful to women, or for whatever reason, then restaurants are right to adjust to customer preferences.

This demonstrates a hidden benefit to the shrinking economy. Without all the free government covid money, businesses are being forced to pay more attention to their customers which means less wokeness.

Those northern areas were Celtic and Basque, people that are still rather hard to pacify.

Tennessee school district settles in court with young woman sent home for "Homosexuality is a Sin" shirt

Three years after being forced to return home for wearing a shirt professing part of her faith, a young Tennessee woman just won a nice little victory against school officials:

In a settlement agreement reached in November and shared with The Christian Post, the Overton County Board of Education in Tennessee agreed to pay $101 to Brielle Penkoski three years after she was sent home from the Livingston Academy public high school for wearing the shirt.

Okay, I just need to adjust my eyeglasses here a second and make sure I'm reading it right ...

Okay, so not exactly a bonanza. But it's a moral victory more than anything.
To be fair, the board is also shelling out for procedural fees:

The school board will also pay the plaintiff's attorney's fees and costs.

Penkoski, a minor when the lawsuit was first filed in 2020, "is the daughter of street preacher Rich Penkoski, who leads the online ministry Warriors for Christ."

Ask yourself if a shirt criticizing Christianity or promoting something directly opposed to its teachings would be allowed in schools. Of course it would. So if we truly live in a fair system, you'd also be allowed to wear shirts paraphrasing the Apostle Paul - you know, one of the bedrocks of Western civilization.

Here's First Corinthians 6:9-10:

Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Rich Penkoski said the $100 payday was "way more than we thought she was going to get anyway out of this."

"The other part of this is all the teachers, at least from 2020, were told to start taking First Amendment courses," the preacher continued, adding that that requirement was "one of the things that I insisted on."

A good victory here, all told. Well done, everyone.

What is wrong with the catholic church? Religion doesn't change with society. It's supposed to be the guide of society. I would never be a catholic.

Yes, just like home printed money, one cannot but anything with home grown food. What is the point with this cartoon? Fruits and veggies are cheap, so growing at home is more for freshness and taste than making money. In fact, the costs including time of one's radish patch may be more expensive than just picking up a bag of radishes at the Safeway.

BOOM: National Park Service scraps plan to remove William Penn statue after public outcry ✊

Yeah, the Biden admin's park service was gonna "rehabilitate" Welcome Park in Philadelphia by removing the statue of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia.

Then everyone got angry at them and they decided they couldn't get away with this level of erasure... yet. ...

Y'all were gonna replace William Penn's statue with a Native American. A Native American who, if we're being honest, was likely treated 100% fairly by the Quaker Penn. See, unlike in your fantasies, Penn was actually quite friendly to the natives. Penn believed in religious tolerance and pacifism, signed a peace treaty with the natives, and paid them good money for their land. But either you ignored that because you wanted to tear down another statue of a white dude or you just plain didn't know history (and you wanted to tear down a statue of a white dude).

Before it was deleted a few years ago, a naughty website called “Tag The Sponsor” exposed many Instagram “influencers”. Posing as Middle Eastern sheik “sponsors”, TTS posted DM conversations in which they negotiated pay for play with the lovely Instagrammer “sponsorettes”. It answered a basic question: How are so many unemployed young women able to fly first class around the world, go on luxury shopping sprees, and lounge around yachts and luxury hotels all the time?
