| [Bill to Tear Down Historic Buildings] But critics say the bills are anything but narrow. They say the bills, which contain no analysis of impact, are so broadly written that the result will be a demolition derby as developers seize the chance to tear down historic buildings to clear and flip properties — a common practice in older areas poised for redevelopment known as speculative demolition. They say the measures could be destructive for the historic fabric of their communities and their economies. Link | |

 [Transgender] I can’t understand why the media continues mislabeling these mental unbalanced men pretending to be a woman. They aren’t women, they are men caught up with their fantasies of dress up and these men should be committed to mental health facilities to help them get back to reality. No matter how much hormone replacement therapy or cosmetic surgery they take, they will never be anything other than what they were born with. Even if they cut off their pee pees and become eunuchs they won’t be magically transformed into a female; just another very sick man. I blame the media for furthering this delusion by keeping it in the news. |

| Mike Pence testified before a federal grand jury on Thursday in Washington about Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, according to a source familiar with the matter, a day after an appeals court rejected a last-ditch motion to block his appearance. The former vice-president’s testimony lasted for around seven hours and took place behind closed doors, meaning the details of what he told the prosecutors hearing evidence in the case remains uncertain.

| [Drug Testing] The House passed the debt ceiling thing. One of the conditions is that in order to get food stamps those on the dole must work 20 hours a week or the equivalent of 20 hours of community service. I think they should have gone further and demanded drug testing too. I’m not against drugs, but I am against my welfare money going to buy drugs instead of feeding the poor welfare children. | |

 [Where is Bum Farto] Bum Farto was Key West’s fire chief. Until he was busted in a drug-trafficking sweep and convicted. Then he disappeared and was never found. Joseph “Bum” Farto became a Key West legend after the 1975 sting. When he vanished the next year, the fugitive soon became a slogan on T-shirts, which asked: “Where is Bum Farto?” Now Bum Farto has returned — but this time as a musical in the Southernmost City.

| [Friday Joke] “If there are any idiots in the room, will they please stand up”, said the sarcastic teacher. After a long silence, one freshman rose to his feet. “Now then mister, why do you consider yourself an idiot?”, inquired the teacher with a sneer. “Well, actually I don’t,” said the student, “but I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself.” |
