Nigel Farage has launched Reform UK’s manifesto for the general election and has pledged to “ban transgender ideology” in schools, including stopping social transitioning, if the party is elected.

Quote:The House Ethics Committee said Tuesday it is probing whether Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) sought to obstruct investigations into his conduct, is dropping some other lines of investigation into him and has issued 25 subpoenas in matters surrounding the congressman.

In a rare public update about the investigation, the committee said the high-profile probe into the firebrand Florida congressman has been the subject of “a significant and unusual amount of public reporting,” and that “much of that reporting has been inaccurate.”

“Notwithstanding the difficulty in obtaining relevant information from Representative Gaetz and others, the Committee has spoken with more than a dozen witnesses, issued 25 subpoenas, and reviewed thousands of pages of documents in this matter. Based on its review to date, the Committee has determined that certain of the allegations merit continued review,” the committee said. “During the course of its investigation, the Committee has also identified additional allegations that merit review.”

It is continuing to investigate whether Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct, engaged in illicit drug use or accepted improper gifts, matters that it first started investigating in April 2021, the panel said.

The committee also confirmed new lines of inquiry: whether Gaetz “dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship” and “sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct.”

At the same time, the House panel said it will take no further action on whether Gaetz shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use or accepted a bribe or improper gratuity.

It’s pretty impressive that Gaetz has so much questionable conduct that they had to winnow the investigations down to a more manageable number.

"Converted campaign funds to personal use" probably scares the shit out of a lot of Congresscritters.

Louisiana orders every classroom to display Ten Commandments

So that kids can stare at "Thou shalt not kill" as they're being shot.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
