Today In Nihilistic "Metaphors"
Melissa Nann Burke / The Detroit News:Todd Spangler / USA Today: Video shows Michigan congressman appear to call for nuclear bombs to be dropped on Gaza
So when I casually mention that the throats of most people on this benighted planet should be slit immediately to support humanity’s swift elimination of excess population that's killing us my office can say it was a metaphor & nothing else will happen? Good to know. Have I mentioned my theory of excess population? No? Well ...Michigan U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg suggested that nuclear weapons should be dropped on Gaza, which his office said was a metaphor to “support Israel’s swift elimination of Hamas.”

Today In Racist Republican Stupidity
I was expecting howls of "Terrorism!" in reaction to this, but Maryland's Governor is not 100% white, & appointed a D.E.I. consultant to the Baltimore Port Commission, so internal cultural enemies may be blamed.Bryan Schott / Salt Lake Tribune:Baltimore bridge collapse caused by DEI efforts, Utah Rep. Phil Lyman says — Lyman, who is also running for Utah governor, blamed diversity efforts for the disaster. — Phil Lyman, a Utah Republican lawmaker and candidate for governor, quickly used Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse …
This is what happens when you have Governors who prioritize diversity over the wellbeing and security of citizens. https://t.co/lSU0RDUIi7

Today In "Parental Rights" & Demonic Possession
It Wasn't The Children Who Were Possessed
"This isn't us!" Yeah, sure. Who the fuck is it, the Rosicrucians? The gods of Mesopotamia? Buddha? Bet Joseph Smith's very proud of himself.SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The malnourished and badly bruised son of a parenting advice YouTuber politely asks a neighbor to take him to the nearest police station in newly released video from the day his mother and her business partner were arrested on child abuse charges in southern Utah.The 12-year-old son of Ruby Franke, a mother of six who dispensed advice to millions via a popular YouTube channel, had escaped through a window and approached several nearby homes until someone answered the door, according to documents released Friday by the Washington County Attorney’s office.
Crime scene photos, body camera video and interrogation tapes were released a month after Franke and business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, a mental health counselor, were each sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. A police investigation determined religious extremism motivated the women to inflict horrific abuse on Franke’s children, Washington County Attorney Eric Clarke announced Friday.
“The women appeared to fully believe that the abuse they inflicted was necessary to teach the children how to properly repent for imagined ‘sins’ and to cast the evil spirits out of their bodies,” Clarke said.
Franke, 42, and Hildebrandt, 54, pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse that included convincing Franke’s two youngest children they were evil and subjecting them to manual labor, dayslong fasting and conditions Clarke has described as “concentration camp-like.”
The women, who have said they belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were arrested last August at Hildebrandt’s house in Ivins, a picturesque suburb of St. George, after her neighbor Danny Clarkson opened his door to find the emaciated boy. Their actions have been condemned by other Mormon parenting bloggers who say they misrepresented their community and the religion.
YAY TERROR!!

Thought He Was Yapping About Mormons, But Tuberville's Literally Demonizing The Demonrats
Bryan Schott / Salt Lake Tribune:‘We are losing our kids to a satanic cult,’ Sen. Tommy Tuberville warns during Utah campaign stop — The Alabama Republican has endorsed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Trent Staggs in the race to replace Utah Sen. Mitt Romney in Congress.
Huge.Alabama Republican U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville had a stark warning for the approximately 100 Utah GOP delegates who crowded into a Bluffdale warehouse to hear him speak on Friday afternoon: Malevolent supernatural forces are working to undermine America.He's been everywhere.“I’ve traveled all over the country — all 50 states — I’ve been in good places and bad places. The one thing I saw, we are losing our kids to a satanic cult,” Tuberville, who traveled to Utah to campaign for GOP U.S. Senate candidate Trent Staggs, warned.[...]
Brandishing an upside-down pocket Constitution, Tuberville said the 2024 election wasn’t Republican vs. Democrat but “anti-American vs. American.”
“We’ve lost our moral values across the country. We’ve got to get back to the Constitution, and we have got to get back to the Bible. We’ve got to get God back in our country,” Tuberville said. “There’s not one Democrat that can tell you they stand up for God.”
Republican delegates ate it up as he careened from anti-transgender statements to discussion of immigration and chaos at the border to a prediction left-wing mobs are set to wreak chaos across the country this summer to help Joe Biden win reelection.
Tuberville even went so far as to claim the federal government has been corrupted to go after conservatives instead of criminals, which was seemingly an indirect reference to the hundreds of Trump supporters who were charged after attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
“We’ve lost our Department of Justice. In most of the country, we don’t have a criminal justice system anymore. Nobody goes to jail, unless you’re an innocent person that really loves this country, then they’ll put you in jail,” Tuberville said. “We have never overcome a cult like we’re dealing with right now.”
The loudest boos from the GOP delegates on hand came when Tuberville and Staggs took swipes at Sen. Mitt Romney, who was the party’s presidential nominee just a dozen years ago.
“I’ve seen Mitt Romney make promises to Utahns that he didn’t deliver on,” Staggs said. “This is the choice you have before you. Do you want to replace Mitt Romney with Mitt Romney 2.0?”
During a brief interview with The Salt Lake Tribune following his speech, Tuberville doubled down when asked if his references to a satanic cult were bourne [sic] from political zeal.
“They’ve basically taken God out of everything that we’re doing. I don’t know any other way to express it other than it’s some kind of cult that they’re trying to push on our kids and all Americans,” Tubervill [sic] said. “We have got to get back to our moral values. If we can’t get back to that and let the Democrats continue to push this cult on us and take God away from our country, we’re going to have huge problems.”
