………………………………………..May – 2018
………………………………….A 142 Post Month!



A mere few days ago, I figured this posting month was essentially over…Then the heat wave broke, at least enough for me to get back to blogging…and May 2018 leaped over April 2018…to become the new record high posting month!

GSA Mad at BSA for Accepting Girls?…


Date: May 31, 2018

01) This Was A Joke A Few Years Ago… Now It’s Actually Happening


I think co-ed groups are very important…as are different groups coming together, for shared events…

…But, I have to agree with the sentiment being voiced here…Groups tailored to boys, or tailored to girls, should remain an available option.

Different groups should be available, for those kids who feel they don’t fit into the classic groups of Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.

There is something really bad, about losing the dynamics of an “all male” group like the Boy Scouts.

It’s interesting that the Boy Scouts of America accepting girls, has caused a rift with the Girl Scouts of America.

It makes sense, though.

ONLINE CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION IN KENYA – A RAPID ASSESSMENT REPORT – February 2018…

01) ONLINE CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION IN KENYA – A RAPID ASSESSMENT REPORT February 2018 [PDF]

02) The Article

Thank you, to feinmann0.

“From a 2018 report by Terre des Hommes, a Dutch charity that campaigns for children’s rights. “A recent study shows that 45 per cent of commercial sexual exploitation of children victims in the Kenyan coastal regions had migrated from upcountry to engage in commercial sex work. It is estimated that in the coastal town of Mtwapa alone, between 10,000 and 20,000 children are trafficked annually for the purpose of sex tourism.”

The above quote by the Dutch charity was broadcast by citizen TV, Kenya. The allafrica link describes how AfricaCheck, an African fact-checking organisation based in Johannesburg, uncovered falsified statistics used in children’s charity reports to highlight a massive problem that in reality never existed.”

I skimmed over this, very quickly…and will go over it, later…

Of course…the reality of these “crimes”, is that many of these children and teens are very enthusiastic participants…

A few years back, there was a report about this in the Philippines…where the parents, themselves, were setting things up…and letting their children have the time of their lives with each other in front of a live camera…and the kids loved it.

…It was a literal, cottage family business…It sustained their lives…and the kids were being harmed in no way.

Cases of kids and families moving to different jurisdictions, in order to get away from draconian laws and do this sort of thing, are not unheard of.

Of course…sad thing about that documentary…is that you had the activist “social worker”, who had to weasel in and convince these children as to “why they were being abused”…

Cop Wants Parkland Survivor Killed…

01) Cop Wants Parkland Survivor Killed


“Brian Valenti, the Coconut Creek K-9 officer who posted a snide comment on Facebook that triggered public outrage, is being suspended for five days and will be required to undergo sensitivity training, the department said Tuesday.

Valenti told Police Chief Butch Arenal he regretted posting a comment saying he hoped Parkland activist David Hogg would get hit by a car during Friday’s protest at Publix. The 23-year veteran told his supervisors it was meant as a joke, but he now realizes it was not funny.

He told the chief he plans to apologize in person to Hogg and other organizers of the event.

Hogg said Tuesday, “Cops are meant to protect and serve communities, not spread hate and violence among them.

‘Roseanne’ Canceled After Racist Tweets…


Date: May 29, 2018

01) ‘Roseanne’ Canceled After Racist Tweets


“ABC has pulled the plug on the revival “Roseanne.”
The move comes after series star and creator Roseanne Barr made a comment on Twitter Tuesday morning referring to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett as looking like the offspring of the “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes.” Jarrett, an African-American, was born in Iran to American parents.

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said in a statement.

Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger voiced his support for the cancellation, tweeting, “There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.”

Barr deleted her tweet about Jarrett not long after posting it. She followed it up with an apology that read, “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste. I am now leaving Twitter.”
