Looks like he was also working in the special education section of a public elementary school until last year.  That's particularly worrying ... 

His punishment is just under a year in jail.

Probably a good time to remember that there are two guys facing a combined sentence of as much as 150 years for advertising and selling metal cards with a lightning link design etched on it.

So dealing in child porn gets you under a year but selling metal cards with a lightning link design can get you a couple lifetimes?

Those guys should have worn dresses and makeup when they were advertising the cards.

One month in jail for each felony.

Gee, what a shocker. Drag queen popped on child sex abuse:

Eleven separate felony charges of child sexual abuse.  Sentenced to less than a year total.  There was a time when that pervert would have been locked up for the rest of its life.  My home state is just gone.

Nowadays they're more likely to lock up the parents for trying to stop it.

Just a norm for teachers.

I like to keep this little chart handy for the “wHaT aBouT cLeRGY” leftists defending the pedo teachers and drag queens.

I've recently seen a number of cases in the news where (presumably) hetero men were convicted of child porn files on their computers and IIRC, the punishments ranged from like 5-20 years. There might have even been a life sentence in there.

Obviously some severe punishment is needed for that, but they were looking at images of it while this guy was creating it. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess if this were a hetero man instead of a "drag queen", we'd be looking at sentences at least as long as for the child porn viewers.

This trans stuff is just out of control.

That chart is not the own you think it is.

Interesting info, but there are something like 37,000 Catholic clergy in the US and 3.7 million public school employees.
Assuming your numbers are correct, that puts the rate of offense at 0.005 per clergy member and 0.008 per public school employee.  Your point about public school employees being more likely to offend still stands, but the chart is misleading because of relative scale.

The overall rate in the US is approximately 0.0003 per adult (taking all adults in the US into consideration).  Seems like both career paths are an order of magnitude more likely to offend than a random adult, although I think that is likely to be explained in the same way serial killers tend to be attracted to the medical field.  That is to say, easy hunting grounds for particular kinds of predators.

Edit: I was including Catholic priests, deacons, and bishops.  If we include only priests the rate is 0.008, or identical to public school employees.  I don't know what your data actually is based on.

[dogmush]

Throwing another datapoint out there, since that graph said "public school employees", that's what I googled before my comment and got 7,062,560 employees as the answer.

That number puts priests more likely to be pedos than teachers, hence my comment.

Whichever number you use it's clear that graph was designed to make a point that doesn't actually stand up to even cursory inspection.

A Gallup poll says that 20% of Gen Z identifies as some form of lgbtqrxyz.

I'm going to assume this is US Gen Z. I'd be curious as to what an international poll would show. I'll bet real money that it's a lot lower.

I hold to the traditional Christian belief that anyone can potentially be tempted by homosexuality (or any alternative sexual behavior) given the right circumstances, to a greater or lesser degree depending on the person and the circumstances.  What people do with these feelings is molded by their value systems, both personal and societal.

Differences in sexual behavior vary a great degree across cultures according to the values of those that live in them.  In some cultures (the Etoro of New Guinea) pedophilia is (or was) literally universal.  In others bisexuality/pederasty is extremely common (ancient Greece and Rome).  Bestality, too, is common some areas (Brazil).  In other cultures homosexuality is almost unknown (traditional African hunter gatherers) or relatively rare (traditional Christian societies).  In some places and times transvestitism becomes very common (Muxe of Mexico).  Rape, too can be a universal practice in some societies (Comanche Indians, inflicted against captives).

The idea that a person has a particular sexual feeling X, therefore they are X, and must practice X behavior, is in fact false... as seen by the fact that rates of these behaviors varies from universal to common to nearly non existent.

The USA is rapidly abandoning a Christian culture, and moving to an atheist / pagan one.  And we are practicing the sexual values of atheist and some pagan societies (I mean no offense to the pagan societies that do not practice these things, I know not all pagan groups practice these things).

It has been a while, but I recall someone once brought out an old manuscript of a researcher (late 1800's or early 1900's) who found one African tribe that had some homosexuality.  Men who did that became sort of sub-wives to one of the hunters.  Apparently it was taboo to even mention the person if I remember right.  I don't remember where it was.  I don't think it was very common.

It varies between groups.  Some traditional societies have homosexuality as you mentioned, in some it is almost unknown.  Also, there is a difference between traditional farming societies and hunter gatherers (where homosexuality is less common).

Here is what I am thinking of:

I'd like to find a longer version of the video in the link to see exactly what they're talking about. It's Jennifer Granholm stating that she'd like the military vehicle fleet to be all electric by 2030.

If it's just the GSA and other "daily goto meeting" vehicles, well, I would expect that as the rest of fed.gov is likely to go down that path as well. Which, if nothing else, will at least slow down the waste of tax dollars for unnecessary travel as all the feds wait around for their vehicles to charge. 

If they're talking about stuff like HMMWVs, that seems like a bad idea.

Probably an intentionally horrible idea.  The real reason for it would be to destroy our military readiness.

[dogmush]

The 2035 date is what I've seen briefed for an all electric Non-Tactical Vehicle fleet.  So GSA's and the leased NTV's we use overseas.  We got a Tesla Model 3 GSA at the center where I work this year, and they are saying my parts van will probably be replaced with an electric transit when it ages out next year.  We'll see.

That same brief said we were looking at EV Tactical vehicles by 2050. (Tactical Vehicles are like MRAPs, 5-tons and the like, but are distinct from Combat Vehicles like APCs and Tanks)

I've heard that there are hybrid JLTV's and Brad's being tested as well.

That would jive with what states are doing. I guess several more states are jumping on the California 2035 bandwagon for big rigs:

I was just about to post that. Tell me... no, don't tell me, because I know the answer. Why is the DOJ, who has like a 1,456,876 page report on all the right wing extremists, or the FBI, not investigating this creep? If this were a proud boy, or a Christian calling for gays to die, or heck, even antifa, the FBI would be getting involved.

These trannies are getting a free pass from DOJ, and other LE agencies are to afraid of being labeled haters to act, and people are going to die.

Let's see those red flag laws go to work, since this guy supposedly has guns.
