Map: Pearl Clutchers in Hot Spring County

A rural Arkansas county files more than twice as many FCC complaints per resident than anywhere else in the United States.

Is the film Night of the Living Dead too racy for daytime television? What about double entendres about "spotted dick" pudding? Or a travel documentary about Paris featuring burlesque dancers and a museum with nude paintings? These were just some of the federal obscenity complaints that made Hot Spring County, Arkansas, the most prudish place in America.

The most infamous job of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is to punish obscenity on the airwaves, and it's always relied on public feedback to do so. In the 1970s, a complaint about George Carlin's "seven dirty words you can't say on television" routine led to a Supreme Court ruling allowing the FCC to regulate "obscene, indecent, and profane" content on the airwaves.

New technologies have made this power less relevant, since cable news and online streaming fall outside the FCC's jurisdiction. They've also made it easier to see who's complaining. For a decade, the FCC has published the time stamp and ZIP code of each individual obscenity complaint online.

By far, Hot Spring County was the most complaint-dense place in the continental United States, with over 51 complaints per 10,000 residents over the past decade. The runner-up, Yankton County, South Dakota, had only 21 complaints per 10,000 residents. Rounding out the top three was Lake County, Indiana, just outside of Chicago, with six complaints per 10,000 residents.

Outside the mainland, Puerto Ricans also make a lot of complaints to the FCC. The capital city of San Juan sent 824 complaints over the past decade—an average of 25 complaints per 10,000 residents. Of Puerto Rico's 78 municipios, 29 had more than six complaints per 10,000 residents.

Places with fewer than 40 complaints are excluded from the calculation. Because the actual content of the complaints isn't available online, Reason filed a Freedom of Information Act request for Hot Spring County residents' messages to the FCC.

Many of the complaints were the expected gripes about cursing in rap songs and violent action movies. A few of them were stranger. Complainants were disgusted by an episode of The X-Files showing a psychiatric patient throwing "dookie," a documentary showing an animal dissection, and a razor commercial that showed women "behind tiny bushes trimming them into the runway/heart shapes that girls trim their pubic hair aka bushes into."

FCC officials may have gotten tired of hearing from the good people of Hot Spring County. At least, that's what the person complaining about the Paris travel show thought: "Yes this is a regular broadcast channel—NOT A CABLE CHANNEL—for the FCC reviewer that inevitably deems every channel cable so they don't have to deal with it! Ugh!"

Well it's a good thing the internet has a provision to protect private companies from doing good faith blocking and screening of offensive and indecent material.

[SQRLSY]

Yes, Section 230 IS a wonderful example of Government Almighty, for once, limiting shit's own powers, and letting OWNERS of private property make their own choices, instead.

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

230 stops websites from getting sued by ordinary people and has absolutely nothing to do with restricting government, and I know that you know this.

[SQRLSY]

Did PervFectly STUPID Moose-Mammary-Necrophiliac know that COURTS ARE A FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT ALMIGHTY!!! Is shit EVIL when Government Almighty passes laws forbidding the use of the courts for me to sue PervFect You for working in the wrong profession... For going to the wrong church or mosque... For marrying the wrong fellow moose... For having and expressing stupid ideas... For hurting Your Precious Baby Feelings with the actual TRUTH... I could go ON and ON!

You are the moist stupid and evil moose-bitch that I have EVER cuntacted!

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

The courts aren't suing, retard. The plaintiffs are. 230 only stops a plantiff.

[SQRLSY]

The courts ARE sending the cops after you AND taking your shit away from you if PervFect You DARES to defy the orders of the courts of Government Almighty!!! HELLO?!?!? Twat planet are You from, PervFectly Ignorant Slut?

So can You PervFectly answer my question?

Is shit EVIL when Government Almighty passes laws forbidding the use of the courts for me to sue PervFect You for working in the wrong profession… For going to the wrong church or mosque… For marrying the wrong fellow moose… For having and expressing stupid ideas… For hurting Your Precious Baby Feelings with the actual TRUTH… HELLO?!?!? Is there anyone... IN there?!??!

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

People can't sue because 230 won't allow them so the courts and the cops don't even come into it, fibber.

You should read this. It's about you: People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil - M. Scott Peck

[SQRLSY]

"People can’t sue because 230 won’t allow them so the courts and the cops don’t even come into it..."

Oh My Government Almighty, Moose-Mammary-the-Necrophiliac WROTE THE TRUTH for once!!!

And now, Moose-Mammary-the-Necrophiliac, can You PervFectly go ONE step further and write that this is a GOOD thing that the sue-happy, greedy, power-hungry, property-disrespecting, rights-disrespecting PIGS are fenced OUT of the courts by Section 230? Over the Poor Babies crying, "WAAAA! They took down MY post on THEIR web site"?

[NM Dave]

Wow. You need to consider some anger management. Please, get therapy.

[Chumby]

Humpty Dumpty Trumpty Stormy Daniels Section 230 Aaaarrrrggggghhhh

[SQRLSY]

Chumpy-Chump swill be the FIRST to defend my RIGHT to sue Chumpy-Chump (in the courts of Government Almighty All-Rightee, Under Our Queen, Her Majesty and Supreme Slut-Jesty, Spermy Daniels) for Chumpy-Chump having Hurt My Precious Baby Feelings with the actual TRUTH… Right, Chumpy-Chump?

[Fire up the Woodchippers! (5-30 Banana Republic Day)]

New York executed the wrong squirrel.

[TJJ2000]

Do you think Reason should get sued by SQRSLY because of your comments?

Section 230 just keeps property owners (websites) from getting prosecuted for something someone else did on their property (the internet specifically).

SQRSLY can still sue you if he can make a case. He just can't blame-shift that cases prosecution off onto Reason Magazine.

[SQRLSY]

Thank you TJJ2000!!! Government Almighty control of YOUR web site (or other property), even when thinly disguised by getting someone else (not Government Almighty Shitself, Honored Be It's Holy Name) to SUE you, is Marxism by any other name!

[Roberta]

Do we have data on anything like this from other countries? Canada at least?

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

What about Epstein's Island?

[SQRLSY]

What about Hillary? What about the HillaryPanzees Gone Apeshit? What about "Hang Mike Pence"? What about Spermy Daniels?

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

Hang Mike Pence was a FBI hoax. Your magazine lied. The only person yelling it was never arrested and your J6 Committee refused to investigate him, just like they refused to investigate the guy caught on camera breaking glass and just like they refused to investigate Ray Epps who was the only guy calling for "insurrection".

[SQRLSY]

PervFectly STUPID Moose-Mammary-Necrophiliac knows that there is actual captured audio of Dear Leader defending "Hang Mike Pence". There are other cases ass well of Dear Leader defending political violence... When shit favors HIM!!!

“Hang Mike Pence”!!! Dear Leader agrees!!!
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-defends-jan-6-rioters-hang-mike-pence-chant-newly-n1283798
Trump defends Jan. 6 rioters’ ‘hang Mike Pence’ chant in new audio
The audio captured part of an interview ABC News’ Jonathan Karl conducted with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in March for Karl’s upcoming book.

PS, Mike Pence’s dangerous words and ideas were that votes, voters, established democratic norms and processes, peaceful transfers of power, and the USA Constitution should actually be RESPECTED!!! Now just IMAGINE THAT!!! This was HERESY to True Trumpaloos!!!

[chemjeff radical individualist]

The only person yelling it was never arrested

Here's a whole mob of people yelling it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/rioters-chant-hang-mike-pence-on-jan-6-2021/2022/06/16/3cc093f1-0eb7-427d-8073-b5874ca27e80_video.html

Also let's recall, ML's position on Jan. 6 was that ALL of the violence and rioting of that day was instigated by FBI and Antifa. ALL OF IT. And so why did so many Trump supporters go along with it? Because they are stupid rubes who just "went with the flow". That is what ML actually thinks of Trump supporters - easily manipulated rubes. That is why he likes populism so much, because he thinks he would be one of the people easily manipulating the mob.

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

Wait up a second Lying Jeffy. That's the J6 committee video that they dubbed over with crowd noises and spoken audio to create the narrative they wanted. They did it for the CCTV and the cameraphone stuff. And I know you know that was faked.

Doctored evidence? Democrat-led J6 panel added audio to silent security video for primetime hearings

It's fraud. It's a Hollywood movie. That's why every time I've linked to something it's been raw footage, Nazi.

Here's your Leni Riefenstahl:

Ex-ABC News exec James Goldston producing Jan. 6 committee’s primetime hearing

[chemjeff radical individualist]

The two clips cited in your article are not the ones associated with the crowd chanting “Hang Mike Pence”. So, unsuccessful deflection there.

Oh, and why don’t you tell us, if you think the ENTIRE riot was instigated by FBI and Antifa, why so many Trump supporters went along with it anyway.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

The only Nazi around here is you, trying to defend your team's version of the Beer Hall Putsch.

[SQRLSY]

Thanks ChemJeff!!!

Twat you missed, though, is the MIND CUNTROL aspect of shit!!! Snot only were the rubes (AND Dear Leader!) udderly helpless under the influence of the FBI and Anti-Fa "false flagger" provocateurs, they were ALL also under the MIND CUNTROL of The Amphibian People such ass Pepe the stolen-IP-racist froggy who went a -courtin' the right-wing wrong-nuts! And he did ride, with political violence by his side!

You’re such a joke. The only people who buy your bullshit are the drunk and the other pedophile. You’re just a bunch of Sorosite neo Marxists who want open borders and no age of consent restrictions.

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

You mean your Gestapo's little Reichstag Fire, don't you Nazi?

Let's see:
1. The guy who dropped the pipe bombs is on camera but never charged.
2. The guys who built the fake gallows are caught on camera the day before placing them, were never investigated. They are also on CCTV at the J. Edgar Hoover building the same day outside the FBI cafeteria.
3. The guy who broke the windows is caught on camera but was never charged.
4. Ray Epps is the only person caught on camera calling for violent insurrection, the people around him were telling him to shut up and fuck off and calling him a fed. The J6 committee defended him and the FBI refused to charge him. Finally because of the outcry he was given a misdemeanor charge and a smack on the wrist.
5. Only one guy was actually caught on camera calling to hang Mike Pence, that wasn't an acknowledged dub by the J6 committee's producer. He was never investigated or charged.
6. The FBI acknowledged they had over 200 operatives present.
7. The DHS acknowledged they had operatives present.
8. Trump had asked for the National Guard to be present the day before in case people got rambunctious. He was rebuffed.
9. The Chief in charge of the Capitol Hill Police that day says it was an FBI setup.
10. The Capitol Hill Police removed the barriers from in front of the Capitol and ushered people in. This is caught on hundreds of videos.
11. Capitol Hill Police opened the doors to the Capitol and ushered people in. Again, this is caught on hundreds of videos.
12. Capitol Hill Police gave tours. This is caught on hundreds of videos.

You held a coup, and J6 was your Reichstag Fire used to suppress dissent and legitimize censorship. You are Nazis in every sense. Fuck, you've even started harassing Jews since.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

The problem is, you and your team have constructed a non-falsifiable, "heads I win, tails you lose" narrative about Jan. 6.

Take this example:

5. Only one guy was actually caught on camera calling to hang Mike Pence, that wasn’t an acknowledged dub by the J6 committee’s producer. He was never investigated or charged.

I mean, assuming that this is true (which is rarely the case with you), the most logical reason why the guy shouting "hang Mike Pence" wasn't arrested, was because it's not a crime to just shout Hang Mike Pence. But because this plainly obvious explanation contradicts your narrative about Biden the Evil Fascist Sending the Gestapo Against Jan. 6 Patriots, you MUST concoct the story that the guy shouting Hang Mike Pence was actually a fed deliberately agitating the crowd.

And your items #4 and #6 are just flatly not true. As for #10-12, the Capitol Police were overwhelmed - they essentially surrendered instead of putting themselves in harm's way even further. Surrender is not the same as complicity.

But let's just skip to the end:

You held a coup, and J6 was your Reichstag Fire used to suppress dissent and legitimize censorship.

WHY was there a Jan. 6 rally in the first place? Because Trump could not admit that he lost. Because Trump tried to get his VP to violate the law and the Constitution to install him in power. Because Trump beckoned his followers to come to DC for a rally that day. Because Trump TOLD them to go to the Capitol. Do you know how this "Reichstag Fire" could have been avoided? If Trump had just admitted that he lost!

And in order for your theory to be true, it would also mean that thousands of Trump supporters were unwitting dupes in this plot. Why would they go along with it? So, according to you, some Fed agitator riled up the crowd and said "Hey guys, let's break into the Capitol and smash some shit!" Why did the Trump supporters go along with this? Hmm?

If this was some "Reichstag Fire", it was one that Trump and his followers themselves helped to create.

[Quicktown Brix]

Since Trump won and will control the DOJ, we should see the evidence of this FBI setup released in a few months...otherwise the only conclusion must be...that Trump is in on it.

[Fire up the Woodchippers! (5-30 Banana Republic Day)]

Nah, you fags will destroy any evidence. You democrats have your shredders on overdrive right now.

[Quicktown Brix]

Ah, a preemptive "perfect cover up" excuse. Very convincing.

Well I guess if any president is too incompetent to control his own staff, but be outsmarted by a group of snowflakes, trannies and fags, it would be Trump. It's surprising that you readily admit your inferiority to the dems, though.

[Fire up the Woodchippers! (5-30 Banana Republic Day)]

Do you recall the awesome enchanter named “Tim”, in “Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail”? The one who could “summon fire without flint or tinder”? Well, you remind me of Tim… You are an enchanter who can summon persuasion without facts or logic!

So I discussed your awesome talents with some dear personal friends on the Reason staff… Accordingly…

Reason staff has asked me to convey the following message to you:

Hi Fantastically Talented Author:

Obviously, you are a silver-tongued orator, and you also know how to translate your spectacular talents to the written word! We at Reason have need for writers like you, who have near-magical persuasive powers, without having to write at great, tedious length, or resorting to boring facts and citations.

At Reason, we pay above-market-band salaries to permanent staff, or above-market-band per-word-based fees to freelancers, at your choice. To both permanent staff, and to free-lancers, we provide excellent health, dental, and vision benefits. We also provide FREE unlimited access to nubile young groupies, although we do firmly stipulate that persuasion, not coercion, MUST be applied when taking advantage of said nubile young groupies.

Please send your resume, and another sample of your writings, along with your salary or fee demands, to [e-mail] .

Thank You! -Reason Staff

Unfortunately for him he is the one poster that I keep muted. Saves a lot of time scrolling through it’s gibberings.

[shadydave]

I wonder how many different people filed complaints. I mean considering how few complaints get filed, one deranged person could easily drive up the numbers in any particular location.

[Angry Herman]

Consider this as well: the 2023 population of Hot Springs County is just over 33,000. That means over 1,500 complaints from the county! Of course, it could still be just a single busybody.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

I wonder what the population breakdown shows about the prevalence of childless cat ladies.

[Quicktown Brix]

Foiled by that damn racist math!

[Bubba Jones]

I think you mean 150

It’s ~500 per 100,000

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Look at the white patriarchal supremacist here.

[JFree]

150 complaints per decade. That's like a small group of Karens who meet for coffee every day.

[But SkyNet is a Private Company]

Hot Springs is the OPPOSITE of a prudish county.

It is reknowned for its gambling hall and bordellos. It was outlaw Vegas before Vegas was built

[markm23]

Perhaps someone needs a gift card to encourage them to get out and sample these places.

[Quicktown Brix]

Someone in AR needs a hobby.

I think we can be done with the FCC and network TV now. We have unlimited online content that is orders of magnitude better than anything covered by the FCC; which is not pure coincidence, I'm sure.

And keep these busy body pearl clutching hands off the internet.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

JD Vance is now and has always been wrong about the FCC. Abolish JD Vance!

[SQRLSY]

Dang shit all, we need a NEW LAW!!! Shit should read approxim-ass-ly ass follows:

“Hitherunto, if any humanoid or robot shall be offended by any channel or said channel’s cunt-ents, said humanoid or robot shall hereby and alwaysby be fully authorized to exchange one channel for another, or to unpower their receiving device, thereby extirpating from their environment, the source of twat offends them.”

[Commenter_XY]

Nevermind Hot Springs, the top 100 list is dominated by Puerto Rico.

@MatthewPetti....your analysis skills do not impress.

[Quicktown Brix]

It's not their fault. There's a lot of garbage on TV in Puerto Rico.

[Commenter_XY]

That might well be true. That doesn't excuse shitty analysis skills, which is pretty clear looking at that Top 100 list. PR swamps everyone else; not even close.

I can already tell Petti doesn't know dick when it comes to STEM. He must be related to Bailey.

[Don't look at me!]

More testing needed!

[SQRLSY]

Petti also omitted the obliviously PRUDISHITTIEST CensorShit of Lenin, Stalin, Shitler, Mao Tse Dung, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, BeelzeBubba, and Satan!!! Go BACK to math school, Petti!!!!

(Commenter_XY swill fill in fer ya, writing twat was YOUR editorials, Petti, while you get mathematically edumacated, there at Treason.cum...)

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

WHY DO YOU HATE LATINX PEOPLE!

[Untermensch]

Given he provided the data and noted that in the article, what exactly are you complaining about? Because he wrote about the number one spot and correctly noted the second and third spot in the CONUS before he mentioned the dominance of PR in the list? Seriously, where is his failing since he directly noted what you are complaining he didn’t do?

Outside the mainland, Puerto Ricans also make a lot of complaints to the FCC. The capital city of San Juan sent 824 complaints over the past decade—an average of 25 complaints per 10,000 residents. Of Puerto Rico’s 78 municipios, 29 had more than six complaints per 10,000 residents.

Maybe you have some other point that got your knickers in a twist, but that paragraph from the article pretty much covers your beef with him.

[Social Justice is neither]

He did not provide the date you gibbering buffoon, he provided the results of an analysis. How big is this country because the per capital results are different if it's 500k people vs 50k people since at 50k it's much easier for 1-2 busybodies to represent the whole complaint # of the statistic.

[SQRLSY]

Petti didn't have room enough to cover ALL the data needs of EVERY gibbering buffoon on the planet Earth, or even on Uranus!!!! NON gibbering buffoons can DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH AND CALCULATIONS!!! Did you know that The Google knows EVERYTHING? Watch: Oh Great Google, twat is the "current population of Puerto Rico"? (Put in ANY desired nation actually.) Answer: "As of 2024, the population of Puerto Rico is estimated to be 3,242,204. This is a 0.26% increase from 2023." . . . Are ye AMAZED by My Mental Magic?

[Don't look at me!]

Unread

[SQRLSY]

Q: Oh Great Google, twat is the BEST example of an empty-headed yet arrogant, proud-of-stupid Reason poster?

A: Don't look at me!

[Medulla Oblongata]

Just grey boxes.

[Untermensch]

You drooling imbecile, you did not specify what you want then. You are expecting others to define the crevices of what you call a mind. Your comment was only about PR dominating the list. That is all you said. Now you are angry that others cannot divine what you meant in what you didn’t write.

It is still not clear what your point might be because you haven’t made it, but sure, I’m a “gibbering buffoon” because you can’t be bothered to say what you mean, you excrescent coprophagous sack of monkey vomit.

[BYODB]

Yeah, wanted to make that very point and I'm glad at least one other person noticed that every other place on that list is in Puerto Rico.

Who gives a shit about one particular county in Arkansas when the overwhelming majority come from the same territory.

Seriously lacking in any sort of analytical skills whatsoever, which may be a prerequisite for becoming a 'journalist'. 'Assistant Editor' indeed.

For the record, this is in the headline itself so it seems like a pretty legitimate complaint since the headline would better read as 'Puerto Rico is full of nanny-state censors' or something like that.

[shadydave]

Another thing I hadn't considered, I wonder how much trolling might go on. Sort of like the 21st century version of a prank phone call.

[Longtobefree]

Just a bunch of damn republicans trying to make federal employees actually do work!

[Jerry B.]

Considering that Hot Springs used to be a favorite hangout for mobsters, seems sort'a strange that it'd be so prudish now.

You're confusing Hot Springs City, the gambling mecca, with Hot Springs County. Hot Springs City is in a different county.

What's up Peanuts?

(follow up from yesterday and the woefully inept cabinet selections from Donnie)

By choosing an inexperienced Neo-Nazi for Defense Secretary the president-elect is tipping his hand on his priority - turning the military against "persons" inside the United States. I use "person" in the Constitutional context - meaning citizens and non-citizens alike. Hegseth is a Rechtglaubiger and unlike traditional generals like Mattis, Esper, Milley, Kelly will comply when Donnie wants to violate Posse Comitatus.

Since you are mesmerized by that trannie I just went to a bio to refresh my memory.

Holy shit, you wingnuts are pathetic. You're implying that Sleepy Joe made the trannie a cabinet level appointment.

Or could it me that you are a trannie yourself?

Ooh, I forgot Racheal Levine.

[Fire up the Woodchippers! (5-30 Banana Republic Day)]

Don’t forget Mayorkas. He mated to dress gender appropriate, but he committed treason, and is responsible for hundreds, if not thousands of deaths.

Then there’s Buttgag, the most qualified trans secretary ever. Blinken has done brilliantly. With the globe descending into WW3. And so many others.

I’ll bet every one of Trump’s nominees is capable of defining ‘woman’.

Current Position: Rachel Levine is a four-star admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (USPHS), making her the highest-ranking official in the USPHS Commissioned Corps and its first-ever female four-star admiral.

Are you saying that none of the other trans people in the Biden administration stole luggage? I was led to believe that stealing luggage was perfectly normal behavior from transexual government functionaries.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

And this is how you and your team play the identity politics game. If you look at Rachel Levine’s resume, she is undoubtedly qualified to be in the United States Public Health Service. But because she’s a TRANNY, that is why your team deems her ‘unqualified’. By contrast, Matt Gaetz’s resume is extremely thin for the job that he is being appointed to.

Rachel Levine: Eminently qualified, wrong identity = “UNQUALIFIED”
Matt Gaetz: Very underqualified, correct identity = “TOTALLY QUALIFIED”

Rachel Levine’s “incorrect” identity completely sabotages her entire resume. By contrast, Matt Gaetz’s “correct” identity more than makes up for his lack of a firm resume.

Some might even call that a type of 'privilege' that those with the 'correct' identity have that they can use to make up for deficiencies in qualifications or accomplishments.

[EISTAU Gree-Vance]

Levine, like anyone who thinks they can change their gender, is mentally ill. His qualifications are meaningless.

Don’t care about Gaetz.

You’re an idiot.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

And that is how you can rationalize to yourself how identity trumps qualifications. By redefining certain identities to be so abnormal that they are signs of mental illness.

[Fire up the Woodchippers! (5-30 Banana Republic Day)]

Bitch, you lost. No one gives a fuck what you think. Trump’s nominees should be fine. You just hate anything Republican. Because you’re a neo Marxist traitor.

Why is it that for thousands of years most humans, including the educated, agreed that people who think they can and should change their gender were seen as mentally ill? And perhaps deserving of sympathy and care, but not indulgent support in their fantasy?

And if you think this is an important new Good Thing, then what about people who think they are dogs, or people who wish to be blind?

[InsaneTrollLogic (Factio Democratica delenda est 5/30/24)]

[Medulla Oblongata]

I'll grant you Gaetz may be unqualified to "run" the DOJ, if we wanted the DOJ to continue operating as it has for the last 20 years or so, as a research arm of the Democrat party.

But if the goal is the shake the agency to its foundations, shine light on shady dealings, and haul some of the shadow government folks out into the light (like releasing Epstein's lists), maybe he's just what Trump promised his constituency.

Read and Learn:

When Adolf Hitler staged the Munich Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923, Houston Stewart Chamberlain wrote an essay for the Völkischer Beobachter entitled "God Wills It!" calling on all Germans who love Germany to join the putsch
...
The "Deus vult" slogan has been used by perpetrators of right-wing terrorism; it was repeatedly used by the perpetrator of the 2017 Quebec City mosque shooting[27] and was one of the tattoos on the body of the perpetrator of the 2023 Allen, Texas outlet mall shooting.[28] Deus Vult was among the slogans and symbols used during the violent far-right riot in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.[29]
...
The slogan, as well as other Knights Templar imagery, has also been associated with far-right subgroups in the U.S. that merge Christian nationalism with gun culture; a Florida gun manufacturer engraved the slogan on its "Crusader" model of AR-15-style rifle.[30] The motto is also used by Christian nationalist groups in Europe; the phrase was portrayed on large banners carried by unspecified groups characterized by The Guardian as far-right marchers in 2017 in Warsaw, Poland.

SCOOP: The Secret Service is investigating an agent who has been accused of having Antifa and anarchist ties and who allegedly lashed out at Trump as someone with "Nazi-ass policies" and called his supporters "chodes" and "neo-Nazis" in several social media posts.
The posts clearly call into question whether this agent can provide adequate protection to President-elect Trump during the transition of power, the inauguration, and afterward.

Trump gives RFK Jr McDonald’s ‘poison’ to eat on private plane

"RFK Jr was highly critical of the modern diet during the election campaign, vowing to “Make America Healthy Again”, and even described Mr Trump’s diet as “really bad”.

“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes on to [Trump Force One] is, like, just poison,” the 70-year-old told podcaster Joe Polish on Monday.

“You have a choice between – you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s when you’re lucky, and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”

Could be, he's old for sure. People at his income level do tend to live on way beyond the average but there are exceptions like Steve Jobs who get cancer that no one is going to survive no matter how much money they throw at it.

At this point it's more likely he dies from assassination though. Two tries before even taking office, at least, does not bode well for him.

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

Jobs could have survived it because they caught it early, but instead of chemo and surgery at the start he tried fad diets and vitamins to shrink it instead. By time he did get chemo and surgery it was too late.

What a bunch of illiterate idiots! "The ingredient list is the same, but Canada has natural flavorings and colors, the US has artificial ones."

I'm not worried about "artificial" colors and flavorings, since often the only thing which makes them artificial is being used for a different purpose. But to claim they are the same is hilarious.

I wish Good Liz would stop referencing the NYT. I assume every one of their articles has some such lies. Lying is baked into their mindset so much that they no longer know what the word means.

[shadydave]

I've lately been seeing people try and defend high fructose corn syrup online. It's just baffling.

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

See, with stuff like this you’d think a “libertarian” magazine like Reason would be trumpeting Mr. Gaetz as a pick from the highest rooftops, but instead they’re calling him “controversial” for exactly this, and parroting Merrick Garland's smears and agitprop.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

I know, right? Why doesn't Reason accept at face value an obviously staged agitprop video of Gaetz calling out members of the Ethics Committee who just so happen to be investigating him and accusing them of corruption?

[sarcasmic]

Anyone who investigates Trump or anyone loyal to him (anyone who is disloyal is fair game) is engaging in corruption. So by definition he is right and they are corrupt.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

And ML knows better. He KNOWS that this is a staged, phony video that is only meant to make Gaetz look better. There is zero evidence presented for any of Gaetz's claims that he makes in the video, and the completely sympathetic 'reporter' never even bothers to ask the most obvious question: "are you really only criticizing these people because they are on the ethics committee that's investigating you?" It is agitprop. It is Riefenstahl-level propaganda.

Anyone who predicted a month ago that chemjeff would handle a Harris loss worse than Buttplug would, you may collect your winnings now.

[JesseAz (5-30 Banana Republic Day)]

It was obvious when he got 57% Trump, 43% Harris but said it was 50/50. Also hos Twitter account. Oh and his posts.

Harris was the closest to a Marxist running.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

LOL it is hilarious to try to see you use the term Marxist. You don't even know what the word means.

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

Apparently you don't.

Her father was a Marxist professor who met her mother at a Black Marxist meeting. He taught Marxist economics and Kamala was raised by her mother as a Marxist. Kamala publicly identified as a Marxist up until her run as AG.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

But how does she recognize her free-market sexual favors trading with Marxism?

[Fire up the Woodchippers! (5-30 Banana Republic Day)]

Pedo Jeffy will never admit the truth.

[Fire up the Woodchippers! (5-30 Banana Republic Day)]

No Fatfuck, we do, you don’t. And I mist again remind you of your massive loss. So STFU. We’re going to get rid of the Illegals, and then turn our attention to you Marxist filth.

It's almost as if Jeffy was a shill paid for by the Harris campaign.

Lol. Waited for big brother Jeff before talking again. Fucking hilarious.

Hilarious.

[Mother's Lament (Salt farmer)]

"calling out members of the Ethics Committee who just so happen to be investigating him and accusing them of corruption?"

Nice temporal warping shill, but you've got the timeline backwards (probably deliberately). Gaetz called them out for corruption before he was accused. That's not a recent video.

See, fascist lies like this are why I call you a Nazi.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

Gaetz called them out for corruption before he was accused.

This is a bald-faced lie, at least as far as this video is concerned.

The Ethics Committee initiated its investigation into Matt Gaetz on April 9, 2021.

https://ethics.house.gov/press-releases/statement-regarding-matter-representative-matt-gaetz

In the video that you linked, it refers to Rep. Michael Guest (R) as the Chairman of the Ethics Committee (go to time stamp 1:06). BUT, Rep. Guest did not become chair until the 118th Congress, which started in January 2023.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Ethics

Furthermore, in the video, he claims that another congressman, Rep. John Rutherford, bought Raytheon stock the day that Russia invaded Ukraine. (go to timestamp 0:26-0:30) Of course, Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. After the investigation had begun.

So the video could not have been produced before January 2023 at the earliest. Which would have been well after Matt Gaetz was under investigation.

So, as usual, you are the one who is lying.

[Don't look at me!]

You aren’t taking this loss very well.

[shadydave]

This kinda highlights what I said the other day: I think there's aspects of this guy's personality that are really hard to stomach, but the size of the balls on this guy to do this to members of his own party. It's what we need, at least for a little while.

And I read up on the sex trafficking stuff and it looks for all the world like a targeted extortion scheme enacted by a career white collar criminal. Whether he's guilty or innocent of anything they accused him of, the accusers themselves have 0% credibility.

The Little Spermaid

’Snow White’ star Rachel Zegler has apologized for her reaction to the election of Donald Trump, saying she let her “emotions get the best” of her when she wished that the president-elect’s supporters “never know peace.”
“F**k Donald Trump,” Zegler wrote on her Instagram story last week, after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to become president-elect of the US.
“I find myself speechless in the midst of this,” she continued. “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace. Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in. Leaning us towards a world that will be hard to raise my daughter in.”

- Russia Today

Zegler does not have a daughter, at least a real one. I look forward to her new role where she chops her hair off and sports a blue heart tattoo in Baristas.

Her starring role in the 2025 release of the live action remake of Snow White has additional controversy by casting a WoC in a role about a “snow white” girl. Additionally, the August teaser trailer had garnered more than a million dislikes breaking that platform’s record for such. Producers leaned further woke by reimagining the dwarfs as not being little people. There are such actors in Hollywood and, even if it were a small part, they could use the work.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

If I were in charge of Disney or any other studio this bitch would never work again. She's going to cost them hundreds of millions.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

If I was in charge of Disney I would burn it all down.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

" There are such actors in Hollywood and, even if it were a small part, they could use the work."
Ah Chumby. You just can't help yourself. Not that I'm trying to belittle your efforts.

[Don't look at me!]

Don’t be so small minded.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Yes. Sometimes I fail to see the larger picture.

[Chumby]

That would be short sighted.

[BYODB]

I thought it was annoying that they cast a 'woman of color' to play Ariel in the 2023 The Little Mermaid remake as well given that she was the only ginger present in the room and her character was authored by a Dane, but then I can't say I actually give a shit about it since they are simply doing what they must to keep resetting the clock on their 'borrowed' intellectual property.

If not for authors like Hans Christian Anderson, who's works became public domain long before Disney was a company, they would have nothing to show for themselves.

It's actual irony, in fact.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

I can offer this cunt some advice so she does not have to live in this world. And her imaginary daughter that she wants to protect by aborting her.

In the "Imagine If Nancy Pelosi Had Done The Same Thing" category...

https://www.newsweek.com/fox-news-host-confronts-mike-johnson-gop-demand-matt-gaetz-report-1987092

However, pressure has since been mounting on the committee to release the report regardless of Gaetz's resignation, with proponents arguing that it could contain information vital in determining whether he should be confirmed as attorney general. Johnson, a Louisiana Republican and Trump ally, previously said that "the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics" when asked Thursday about the potential release of the report.

By Friday, Johnson had changed his position and indicated that he was intervening in an attempt to block the potential release of the report, arguing that releasing the document "would open a Pandora's box."

"I'm going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report because that is not the way we do things in the House, and I think that would be a terrible precedent to set," Johnson said on Friday, according to CNN. "If someone is no longer a member of Congress, we are not in the business of investigating and publishing reports about people who are not part of this institution. The House Ethics Committee's jurisdiction is over sitting members of Congress."

[Don't look at me!]

Was there a way Nancy could profit on insider trading with this report?

As a woman I was furious that my older brother had to register for the draft and I didn't! 🙁

Democrats will run on "Put women on the frontlines" in 2028 and carry 45 states!

[chemjeff radical individualist]

This isn't about the draft. This is about women who volunteer for the military.

Both men and women right now volunteer for "the frontlines". Provided that the job gets done, I don't see why that should change.

The draft ought to be abolished for both men and women.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

You know universal standards are sexist and racist and anti-equity, right?

So the incoming SecDef has an opinion. BFD. The last time I checked, the law is women serve in combat. The SecDef is not proposing legislation to change it. If he does, the Congress can do with it what they will (I predict nothing).

[chemjeff radical individualist]

The law permits women to serve in combat but does not require it. It is up to the Pentagon to decide which women (and men) serve where. At least that is how I understand it. So yes, his opinion would have a great deal of impact of how women experience the military.

[Chumby]

Women lack testosterone putting them at an appreciable disadvantage in physical activities compared with men. When a group of under 15 boys manhandles the US women’s national soccer team to looking at marathon times, one understands this. Many other examples as long as one stays outside the real of Disney and the Marvel multiverse.

With that said, in response to one of the many times western unipolar attacked the east, the Soviet Union fielded women in combat roles including female snipers and the Night Witches nocturnal bombing regiment. I don’t recall regular infantry roles as a norm anywhere outside of the Amazons. I think the US tried this in a very limited role with “the lionesses” in the Bush-Cheney-Biden-McCain-Hillary Gulf War. I recall PBS Frontline doing an episode on this.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

When all else fails send in the Valkyries.

[chemjeff radical individualist]

OMFG not the stupid “women’s soccer team lost to middle school boys” argument again. Do you even understand that the women’s team wasn’t TRYING to win? It was a scrimmage, a practice match.

https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-15-boys-squad-beat-the-u-s-womens-national-team-in-a-scrimmage/

This is such a dishonest argument at this point. Right-wing demagogues took this scrimmage way out of proportion and tried to make some sexist argument about it. Don't fall for this crap.

Here is an article about the Chelsea (UK) men’s soccer team drawing a tie against a middle school boys’ team, in 2019.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6696471/Chelsea-team-stars-beaten-youth-players-practice-match.html

Again, another practice match. Again, the men’s team wasn’t trying to win. It was practice. Evidently this type of scrimmaging is common in soccer. So this one anecdote from 7 years ago doesn’t mean squat.

[Don't look at me!]

“They were just acting retarded. Everyone knows athletes don’t try to win.”

[Chumby]

Oh here we go! The women got manhandled by boys then and at other times. Retcon all you want but it doesn’t change what happened. Marathons. Biathalons. Triathalons. Check out the results. FFS. Is this the new talking point for Hillary and Kamala? Trump won because they weren’t trying?

Women don’t have the strength or recovery that comes from testosterone. Fielding regulars against an army of male regulars puts the female army at an instant disadvantage. Disney and Marvel are lying to you.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

But I am amused (and annoyed) at the new Hollywood meme where a 120 lb female character easily kicks the asses of a couple of 220 lb guys, who are also shown to be actually adept at fighting, and not like Jeffy.

[Chumby]

For the blue-haired, 350-pound, low T males it might be believable.

ON AVERAGE, sure. But if the women at the tail end of the bell curve want to volunteer for the military and they are capable of doing the job, then why not let them?

As referenced above, the Soviets used women in combat when fighting against unipolar westerners aggressors trying to impose their elitist system and culture on the Slavs in select functions. The women weren’t the Red Army regular infantry.

This would be the cherry on top.

It feels kind of like this:

15 Then they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves, 16 and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 He was teaching and saying, “Is it not written,

‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’?
But you have made it a den of robbers.”

18 And when the chief priests and the scribes heard it, they kept looking for a way to kill him, for they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was spellbound by his teaching.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

"And when the chief priests and the scribes heard it, they kept looking for a way to kill him, for they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was spellbound by his teaching."

Throckmorton county comes in at #14.
They should themselves be censored. Everyone in medicine is familiar with the Throckmorton sign; on the x-ray, the penis points to the side of the body with the relevant pathology (whether disease, pneumonia, broken bone, etc.). Sorry to the other half of humanity, I am not familiar with any similar sign that applies to females.

[Dan S.]

Is there any truth to that being a reliable indicator, or is it just a joke among medical students and doctors? I didn't think that would even show up on X-rays, as it has no bone. But I guess it's still relatively dense.

The Throggs Neck section of the Bronx (after which the Throgs Neck Bridge is in turn named) was named for the Throckmorton family, and in fact contains a Throckmorton Avenue. I wonder how many people living there (or in the Texas county) are familiar with this "sign".

Rounding out the top three was Lake County, Indiana, just outside of Chicago, with six complaints per 10,000 residents.

It's nowhere near the top three. It's #48 on the list or, if I counted right, #28 in the continental U.S.
