There’s a guy who claims to be a former soccer player on Love is Blind, yet he called David Beckham β€œnot even good.” Convinced this is a Talented Mr. Ripley situation. No way someone has played the sport competitively and believes something like that. Like an astronomer thinking the world is flat.

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

Tennessee officials say little on THP conduct while working with ICE - Nashville Banner Questions continues about Tennessee Highway Patrol and ICE conduct during immigration arrests in Nashville. Gov. Bill Lee claims ignorance of the issue.

TN homeland security commissioner re: @nashvillebanner.bsky.social and co. ICE/THP investigation:

β€œI don’t think it’s appropriate what happened. ... We don’t have control over other agencies, but we limited the amount of participation that we did after that. That’s the only operation we’ve done."

DAILY WAFFLE #1501

GOOD MORNING!

Hello Wafflers! Welcome to another week here on Planet Earth. It is Monday the 2nd of March, which is, of course, Rescue Cat Day! 

Cats! Creatures of mystery, majesty, and curtain-scaling enthusiasm. If you are contemplating the noble acquisition of a feline companion, why not consider a rescue? Across the globe, millions of friendly furballs await a sofa to call their own and a human to gaze upon with affectionate superiority 

But let us be clear; a
pet is for life, and adoption must be a thoughtful affair, considered with head as well as heart.
Do you have an adopted kitty ruling your household?

Well then, please parade them proudly upon our Facebook page; we'd love to meet them. Meet Olive!

Olive was rescued as a kitten after her and her siblings were found abandoned in the street. She enjoys laying on a warm oven, taking showers, helping with DIY tasks, and chatting to the birds.

Charlie Kirk dropped out of an Illinois community college after one semester. He later advised Gen Z that today's higher ed probably isn't worth it. A perfect icon for this regime's attitude toward becoming educated
