Opinion

By Jeff Childers

Good morning and Happy Friday, C&C! As you read this Iā€™m in the air somewhere over the continental United States, having departed Childers HQ at zero-dark-thirty, so I auto-scheduled this abbreviated roundup to tide you over. Iā€™m counting on you all to take these story stubs and flesh them out in the comments for any new readers who might be joining us for the first time today. Iā€™ve given you plenty to talk about!

šŸ—ž*NEWS AND QUICK TAKES* šŸ—ž

šŸ”„ Nice job, conservative Catholics!

A small group of private citizens spent $4M of their own money to buy marketing databases from gay hookup apps, then cross referenced it with geotracking data, and identified active gay priests. They provided the results to Catholic bishops. Iā€™m guessing they are giving the Catholic Church a chance to do the right thing before publicly outing the concupiscent clergy.

The Washington Post was NOT amused. But WaPo admitted the technique may be effective:

The projectā€™s existence reflects a newly empowered American Catholic right wing that sees enforcing its interpretation of church teaching on sexuality and gender as an existential issue for the church and that no longer trusts bishops to do so. It is a flip of traditional church power dynamics, with the Colorado laypeople in a position to pressure bishops.

This is an encouraging story about citizens taking things into their own hands and doing the work the wretched corporate media is no longer allowed to do.

šŸ”„ I present to you the booming Biden economy, which speaks for itself:

šŸ”„ More progress. Tennesseeā€™s State House passed a bill preserving pastorsā€™ rights not to conduct weddings for LGBTQ++. It includes judges, clerks, and anyone else who might conduct a marriage ceremony.

šŸ”„ In this clip, Robert Malone describes my ā€œone world governmentā€ and ā€œWorld War IIIā€ theory, except he refers to it as an invisible, unidentified ā€œpuppet masterā€ employing ā€œfifth generation warfare:ā€

Rep.

šŸ”„ More on Florida SB 252.

Following up from yesterdayā€™s post about the ā€œswitcherooā€ from SB 222ā€™s Medical Freedom to SB 252ā€™s ā€œmedical freedom lite.ā€ The latter bill was filed by Florida Representative Colleen Burton, the beneficiary of generous pharma support, in the recent total of $25,000 from a lobbying group whose leadership includes Pfizerā€™s Albert Bourla.

Hat tip: one of our alert C&C commenters found the story yesterday. Nice job!

Meet lobbying group ā€œPhRMAā€:

Ms. Burton was in the top ten recipients of PhRMAā€™s largess during the last year:

In fairness, Ms. Burton is by no means the only recipient of pharma money. And just because she received those funds does NOT mean she is acting other than in good faith.

But it sure is bad optics.

I have already spoken to a bunch of folks about this issue and will continue to work on it, even over next week while Iā€™m out of town, as time allows. Prepare for C&C Army orders when I get back.

You really canā€™t make this stuff up. Congratulations! We are all suffering the ancient Chinese curse of living in interesting times.

Have a fabulous Friday! And a great time in the comments without me today. Iā€™ll see you back here tomorrow for the weekend edition.

Join C&C in moving the needle and changing minds. I could use your help getting the truth out and spreading optimism and hope, if you can: https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/-learn-how-to-get-involved-
