While defending her childish heckling of Biden during the State Of The Union speech, Lauren Boebert claimed to have received several messages of support for her behaviour, including one letter from the mother of a ‘lieutenant corporal’.

Is it just me, or does this seem a little human trafficky?
Former Rep. Matt Shea Trying To Facilitate 'Adoptions' Of Ukrainian Children
In brief, this guy was charged with domestic terrorism in the US. Now, he's in Poland with 60 Ukrainian kids, claiming he's seeking to adopt them out to families in the US. The group he says he's working for has a non-functional website and isn't registered with any government agencies that oversee international adoptions.

Don't they also pray more in red states?
Quote:Life expectancy lowest in red states -- and the problem is getting worse
Life expectancy is lower in Republican-led states, and the problem has been growing worse for decades.
Health disparities became worse in the 1990s, according to a study in the Journal of American Medicine, and researchers blame conservative governors who override public safety measures such as indoor smoking bans, nutrition regulations, firearm restrictions and COVID-19 mitigation.

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"

Fewer Republicans can't be a bad thing...
Of course, the bible tells them to breed like rabbits. There are even parts about sticking in in family members, right Alabama?

Trouble is that it isn't fewer people. It's more and sicker people.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Those states are already sinks for resources and money generated elsewhere. It's only going to get worse with tens of thousands of long Covid cases bogging the people down.

Conservative Republican lawmakers on Thursday revived a proposal to weaken Kansas' vaccination requirements for children enrolling in school and day care and to make it easier for people to get potentially dangerous treatments for COVID-19.
The Senate health committee approved a bill that would allow parents to get a no-questions-asked religious exemption from requirements to vaccinate their children against more than a dozen diseases, including measles, whopping cough, polio and chickenpox.

IK,R? I don't give a pinch of feces about sports, and am shit with fishing. I pay for healthcare, and would prefer that the gov did more.
