BANNING BOOKS: Illinois Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker signed a bill on Monday barring libraries from receiving state grants if they remove books from their collections or refuse to sign the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights, which indicates “materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.”

Meanwhile in Florida, a law went into effect earlier this year requiring books in school libraries to be approved by a librarian or media specialist. Those who provide pornographic books to students could be charged with a third degree felony.

IMO, this whole issue is hugely overblown. Public and school libraries have limited budgets and limited shelf space. There are hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of books in print. Choosing which ones best serve the needs of the specific community a library serves is not the same as censoring or banning anything. What gets put into a law school or medical school library is far different from what gets put into an elementary, middle, or high school library.

And it’s not just conservatives who are demanding books be removed. Leftists have pulled classics like To Kill a Mockingbird and Huck Finn over alleged racism, while insisting that anyone who objects to books containing graphically sexual content is a book burner.

Once upon a time, I set up a library at our church. I bought the bookshelf ($500), collected all the books that were lurking (mostly in the rectory where nobody could get at them), donated a lot of my own books and videos, and solicited donations of cash or materials. One lady approached me and said I should buy a particular book. I’d read it and thought it was poorly written and contained bad theology at which she got all Karen about me presuming to censor it. I told her that the parish provided me with exactly zero dollars to buy materials, but that if she wanted to buy the book and donate it to the church library, I’d stick it on the shelf. She huffed and walked away. The book never appeared. ::smh::

FBI: [5:42] – During Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate admitted the agency redacted any mention of audio recordings of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden in a document shown last week to Republican lawmakers. He said they did it to protect the source. He also denied that the FBI has become politicized. “There are not two standards of justice.” Blackburn said phooie. So do a lot of the rest of us.

HATE CRIME: A Florida woman has been arrested and charged with felony criminal mischief for vandalizing St. Timothy Catholic Church in Miami on Saturday, June 10. Police say she was motivated by religious prejudice. Security cameras recorded her spray-painting the words “perverts,” “pigs,” “liars,” and an upside-down cross on the premises, kicking over trash bins and planters, and desecrating an altar. The estimated cost of damages is $3,000. A member of the parish said she was not surprised at the attack “because Christians are under attack and you see it all over the world.”

IT’S PERFECTLY NORMAL: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hLV50iTivjI to hear a pastor attempt to read passages at a school board meeting. They’re so graphic, the board tells him to shut up. The book, which is in this pastor’s local school library, is recommended for fifth and sixth graders.

KELLOGG’S: Tony the Tiger getting smoochy with Dylan Mulvaney is far from the first sign that Kellogg’s is on the Left’s perversion wagon. In 2021, the company partnered with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to produce an LGBT-themed cereal dubbed “Together With Pride” that featured berry-flavored, rainbow hearts dusted with edible glitter. Kellogg has also created animated stickers on Instagram and Facebook that the company said would allow fans to “add a little ‘Pride’ to their posts all year long.”

But the boycotts are working. Starbucks is reportedly no longer allowing Pride decorations in-store and the MLB has quietly ordered teams to ditch their Pride uniforms.

RINO: CLICK https://twitter.com/CurtisHouck/status/1668604854539804674 [1:17] to hear Paul Ryan blow off the culture war. “It’s very divisive.” He thinks we should just focus on the debt which is something he says Trump is no good at. Hmm, I seem to recall Trump’s pre-COVID years a little differently.

TRANS REGRET: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AqGd73p93T4 to hear Debbie’s trans regret. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B5kFvgh3Ksg to hear ongoing problems and depression following the surgery that was supposed to fix all her problems.

TRUMP: On Tuesday, President Donald Trump appeared in federal court in Miami and pleaded “Not Guilty” to the 37 felony charges the Biden DOJ cooked up. CLICK https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1668747661028081664 [13:22] to hear Tucker’s report.

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) warned Trump supporters not to protest. “My fellow conservatives, the DOJ/FBI doesn’t expect to imprison Trump, they expect to imprison you. They want J6 again, in Miami and in your city and in mine. They want MAGA conservatives to react to this perimeter probe and in doing so, set yourselves up for targeted persecution and further entrapment. They want to intercept a busload of conservatives en route to protest and create conflicts during the stop. They are hoping to provoke conservative Americans. Don’t fall for the trap.”
