"What should be done about drag queen story hours?"

Don't send your children. Don't let children near them. Ignore the queens.

I agree with what you are saying, but remember this: An "actor' is playing the role of someone you are not. A drag queen is not an actor, they are playing what they really are. Little by little, fellow conservatives, we can rid society of what ails us. I think Mr. Surber should at least once a week put notice on what 'Woke' company we should discriminate against next, such as 'Chix-A-Filet.' No one forced them to become woke, the management just ass up and did it.

There is a website that already does what you are asking for. Search for Florida Family Association. They send out very easy one click emails.

Per Wkipedia, "The organization is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center."

That makes it #1 in my book!

The false and odious categorization instantly revs up their Hallmark card sales.

I checked the Florida Family Association per your recommendation and all I can say is WOW. I used to spend about 500 a month at Walmart, but that amount has changed substantially in the last few months. I now spend less that $30 and that is only because their EQUATE brand has two medications that I use regularly and no one else makes. Walmart's business has tanked in the last few months and all I have to do is scan the parking lots to know how true that is.

I absolutely agree on the Walmart take. Just yesterday closures were announced. We shall see. “Wokey Brokey”.

Expand full comment

Well, I know they closed all the Walmarts within 20 miles of downtown Chicago and all but one in the SF bay area. You just have to love the black (liberal) mayors like that ass, Eric Adams in NYC who thinks Walmart has "Civic Duty" to stay open. You can always tell who the politician is that has never worked a day in his life to come up with a statement like that.

I fondly (sarcasm) remember Eric Adams from his salad days as the big, tough and rough policeman. What a con artist. I wonder if he ever busted three-card monte dealers because they were horning in on his territory.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Personally, I have never been a fan of Chix'A'filets products, so for me to never go there again would be no sacrifice on my part, Target sells nothing but cheap imitation Chinese products and I no longer touch alcohol, so screw Bud Light/AB in general. The fact I no longer have a TV and never will again means that II am not constantly bombarded with the "Just say yes to satan" infomercials.

I like Chick-fil-a okay, but we don't have any around here, prefer to support local eateries. Haven't gone to Walmart in 3 years other than to use the coinstar once and look for 35mm film (didn't have it) I'm a heterosexual male, so of course I hate Target as well as all department stores, especially if I have to go with my wife. (sorry honey) Prefer the Kittery Trading Post and White Birch Armory. Don't watch TV at all. I do like Budweiser, but have switched to Pabst and local brews. I wish I could go back to the 70's and 80's, but at this point I'd take the 90's and Bill Clinton back!

I have not purchased from Chick-fil-A since it went woke in November of '19.

Even if they "repent," I'll never go back.

The sandwiches aren't even THAT good.

I ate at ChikAFilet three times. Once was lousy, once was so so and once was Ok and all three very over-priced. I will never go back.

When Chick-Fil-A was the subject of a boycott because their founder supported traditional marriage, I made a point of going there once a week. Then I found out their head of charitable giving (a former Obama apparatchik) dumped the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes because they supported traditional marriage. I had been played. Any supporter of traditional values who goes there is getting played. I will never go back there again - and the chicken is at best mediocre to begin with.

“The real threat to freedom is in banning citizens from protesting” Which lies at the heart of the J6 Fedsurrection.

Expand full comment

Yep. That's the issue I'm most concerned about. The evil of the J6 committee, rogue prosecutors and judges harshly punishing people simply for supporting Trump and worse, the deafening silence from almost all GOP reps in DC is horrible. I hope these victims get their justice one day. (One is running for congress in WV Derrick Evans I think... he should be supported 100%)

The media and the left are talking about faux censorship, where the material isn’t banned, just age restricted. Meanwhile, we just went through a pandemic and an election where relevant information about very important topics was absolutely censored, with life and death consequences for many that were deprived of that critical information. Whether the criminal is named Moderna or Hunter, government sanctioned censorship of big tech, helped them get away with their international crimes.

Perfect observation point.

As a write in on the poll this morning…

Find a wall at the back end of a sparsely used parking lot and make good use of it!

These little victories give us all some degree of comfort but, and it may be true that this observation comes from the limited perspective of a 75 yo, they are coming too slowly and too infrequently to do our grandchildren any good.

The ONLY thing that is going to bail us out of this is the Re-Eletion of DJT, and that dear reader is far from a sure thing!

Actually, before anybody on the line gets trigger happy, give them a minute to belt out their best rendition of “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina’

On third thought, if they don’t know Argentina try “Oh Hark, I Hear a Pistol Shot”… just trying to be inclusive here

Expand full comment

Well, we actually are winning a great deal at the moment. Don has noted some of them today. Whether any GOP candidate can win the presidency at the moment is doubtful. DJTs specific issues are his cratering support with Independents and his failure to do anything to improve the electoral process in those states we all know and love.

We can drive this on our own. And should expect no one’s “presidential” help.

By next year we should see half of the states withdrawn from the ALA. That pretty much neuters them.

Expand full comment

By the way. If you do that, the ALA loses massive influence as their conferences become much less important to education vendors, who want numbers. You could pretty much wipe them out.

Ignoring people trying to pervert children is not an option. That doesn't mean intimidating or assaulting them. But it does mean taking away the microphone and providing consequences.

I’m a 75 year old great grandmother and I can’t promise I wouldn’t try to gank ( see Dean:Supernatural) one with my cane if I saw anything that might harm my grandchildren.

Expand full comment

I hope this doesn’t sound obtuse or aggressive but ‘Providing Consequences’…what does that mean exactly.

Expand full comment

It means passing laws against sexual displays in front of children and enforcing them without exception or malice.

Expand full comment

I get and support that but unless these ‘people’ have meaningful ‘consequences’ like serious jail time in the general prison populace, or having to write a million times on a blackboard in Arizona in July, outside, in full tyrannies gear “I will not groom children ever again’! I fail to see how anything less would make them stop their bullshit or more importantly see the error of their ways!

In a society that shows faith in God by repaying evil like this with good (reproof is good, hatred and loathing is not), you are correct and that would be the end of it. But this is not the society we live in. I am convinced that while we need consequences to start with, God will continue to give drag queens and others over to their passions that they may take pleasure in unrighteousness. This is reproof for the hatred *we* have shown in the past; we must learn from the consequences God is providing us and return to faith in Him. If we don't do *both* these things, the judgment will continue.

Hi Dave…I’m not entirely sure I understand everything you wrote but I am sure of this…These vermin don’t care at all about God or anything that derives from God. They had their shot and not only did they abuse it they mock it and God in every way possible, even in the extreme, unto using his children's children as a sacrifice. If this isn’t a sacrelige, I don’t know what is. And where it might be true that with God, Vengeance might be His, not only are we running out of time, I’ve got an attention deficit!

Expand full comment

I'm not saying the drag queens need to repent. I'm saying we do, by separating our anger from their consequences and encouraging those around us who are unfaithful to God (but not given over to their passions yet) to return to faith.

I agree, the clock is is ticking. Christ was crucified in either 30 AD or 33 AD. In 2030 or 2033, it will have been 2000 years since His death and resurrection. There are quite a few prophecies in the Bible that indicate this a likely time for His return.

"Moving an adult book from the children’s section to the adult section is not a ban." Key.

Expand full comment

What I find hilarious is that when those books are read on TV, the anchors are blindsided. They have to cut the feed like 4 words in because it is too vulgar for TV but not for a 6 yr old to read. Yeah right. None of those books belong in school. If parents want their kids to have them, they can buy them at a bookstore, not let them check them out in school.

They are also too pornographic to be read to the bigwigs at school board meetings. If a parent tries to do that, the board cuts the microphone.

It looks like the media who long ago lost all credibility are putting the final nail in their careers by mocking and denigrating the movie on Child Sex Trafficking.

Normal people ask how can LGBT justify Grooming kids, how can Library associations justify Gender Queer to children. And now media is saying hold my Bud Light by denigrating a movie about child sex Trafficking. Mika Brezhinski is just one of many pretending child sex Trafficking doesn't exist. I wonder why that is.

Being responsible and respectful for and of your children- don’t bring the children to the story hours you find inappropriate.

No Bible story either. Magical thinking is okay until it goes too far. Sexualizing children is offensive- people with boundary issues need to be avoided. Children should be treated to a peaceful environment where adults protect their childhood years, not preyed on by those with grooming predilection. God or no god is not the answer here. Responsible parents are the cure. Sexual curiosity is normal. However it is an adult decision when the child is ready, not if the Library thinks it’s appropriate or not. Take back parental control not silly behaviors. If your child needs help with understanding a different sexuality- there are parents and professionals to help guide them to an understanding and acceptance of their sexuality. Not just transgender. All people.
