Republicans hate reading and education - they hate the arts, they hate science. They are a cult of evil morons trying to force everyone to be just as ignorant as they are.
🚨🇺🇸 Melania Trump: "The lies linking me to Jeffrey Epstein must stop today. I was never friends with Epstein and had no relationship with him or his associate Maxwell. My email response to Maxwell can only be described as ordinary correspondence."
🚨 BREAKING:
A man wearing a shirt reading "Where is Jeffrey Epstein's client list?" interrupts CNN's live broadcast during the Republican National Convention.
🚨For years, David Johnson — Ojai pastor, and self-appointed guardian of “traditional family values” — flooded his feed warning that “sick people” shouldn’t be “allowed to be around young impressionable minds.” He demanded “TOTAL EDUCATION REFORM,” raged about drag queens “grooming” kids, and called trans people a “steep slope” straight to societal collapse.
Now it’s Johnson, 58, sitting in Ventura County jail without bail, accused of horrific crimes against children.
He’s been charged with six felony counts: four counts of lewd acts upon a child and two counts of continuous s*xual abuse, with special allegations of substantial s*xual conduct involving victims under 14.
Prosecutors say the alleged abuse of two children happened over several years, in Ojai and Oxnard, and that Johnson had access to them through a family relationship.
Investigators believe there may be additional victims and are asking anyone with information to call Ventura County Sheriff’s Detective Michael Loth at 805-384-4745.
A bail review hearing is set for Aug. 28.
Johnson’s Facebook is built around casting himself as a guardian against other people supposedly endangering kids.
In Nov 2022 he asked how “sick people” (LGBTQ people) are “even allowed to be around young impressionable minds,” demanding “TOTAL EDUCATION REFORM.”
In Sept 2019 he called a school’s gender-identity program “Sickening.”
In March 2023 he called a district hiding kids’ gender status from parents “the beginning of the end.”
Every time, the target was someone else — a school board member, a teacher, an LGBTQ program — never the pastors like himself who are getting arrested regularly for grooming and s*xually abusing children.
Not a drag queen. Not a trans person. Not a Muslim. Not a socialist. Not an immigrant.
Just another “family values” MAGA pastor.

There's nothing more unAmerican than rounding up America's wild horses that have roamed the west free for over 400 years, and selling them for $25 each for slaughter.
ETTD. Remember in November. 🇺🇸
A heartbreaking investigation revealed that Trump's Bureau of Land Management is systematically rounding up thousands of America's wild horses, then quietly selling them off to buyers who are shipping them to slaughterhouses abroad.
Before, the U.S. government rarely sold wild horses. But since Trump took office, government sales have more than doubled.
Slaughterhouses pay up to $750 a wild horse, the investigation found.
The Bureau of Land Management is nominally in charge of protecting the 73,000 or so wild horses who roam America's public lands in the West. Under Trump, the Bureau is sending our wild horses to the slaughterhouse.

A Florida man found a legal loophole to block a Flock surveillance camera using a 12-foot-tall protest sign.
77-year-old Carl Gunn legally blocks a Flock license plate camera in St. Petersburg, Florida, by sitting on a public sidewalk and holding a 12-foot pool skimmer pole with a “DOWN WITH FLOCK CAMERAS” sign. Because he remains on public property and never touches the equipment, police confirmed his protest is lawful.
