In one of his recent posts, he noted that he hosted a screening of "Witnesses" to an audience of 50 people. Just this morning, I read in the NY Times that Dr. Fauci was strongly advising people to not gather in groups *larger than 10*! And that is only if you are outside. Seriously, how is something like "Witnesses" important enough to engage in risky behavior like this?

Gollum is now threatening Dr. Peterson? What does that tricksy professor have in his pocket? Gollum can be as tenacious and determined as Midgley in tracking his prey.

I would have to say that racist Midgley would have not stayed in the Church had the priesthood ban been lifted during his childhood. Perish the thought that whites join Mormonism if there be too many blacks in the church! But our loving Heavenly Father had a plan for his white and delightsome children whereby his Church would be filled with those who are fair and white -- a sign of purity and righteousness. But our Heavenly Father still loves the darkies even though they are loathsome and less desirable in the eyes of his chosen white children.

Let us thank Heavenly Father upon our Rameumptom that we were born with white skin . . . .

More unfortunate news this morning about how Mopologists are flaunting the CDC guideline with their risky behavior.

The Trib is reporting that Kwaku’s dance parties are single-handedly responsible for pushing back Utah’s efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19:

Could be that between Quacko and DCP the population of Utah may be cut in half by the time the pandemic is over?

And whatever happened to the poor little fox? Does anyone know if it survived?

Oh what a cruel world!

Sad news. The Peterson's fed the fox so much food (against wildlife regulations) that the fox tried to follow the Peterson's car when they left, and was unfortunately run over by Kwaku-El who just happened to be vacationing in the same area as the Peterson's.
