Hmm. I think this is another "Please read a book" moment.
Research shows:
-- 99 percent of child molesters are male.
-- 91 percent of pedophiles are heterosexual.
-- 79 percent of admitted child molesters are white.
-- 93 percent of child abusers are religious, and the vast majority are Christian.
-- 90 percent of child molesters target kids in their own family or those of friends, and the overwhelming majority are married or were married to women.
So no, your kids don't face danger from sexed-up gays lurking around schools and playgrounds. But they could face danger from the white married Christian guy coming to pick them up from school or take them to violin practice.
Naturally, I was curious how many sex scandals involve self-righteous conservatives or Republicans. Researchers generally don't study that, but if you look at an exhaustive list of sex scandals by federal officials in Congress, the executive branch, and on the Supreme Court -- most proven, a few accusations -- take a wild guess which party affiliation the majority hold.
I looked at the scandals listed by Wikipedia just since 2000. Of the 40 cases, 28 -- 70 percent -- involved Republicans/conservatives, while 12 involved Democrats.
Of those 28 GOP sex scandals, many involved these mostly Christian men cheating on their wives, either with mistresses (who some of them tried to coerce to have abortions) or with prostitutes. But several involved gay sex by ostensibly straight men.
Like former US representative Ed Schrock of Virginia, who loudly and aggressively opposed various gay rights issues, including gays in the military and same-sex marriage. He was caught on tape soliciting sex with men. Or Mark Foley of Florida, who resigned his House seat after getting caught sending sexually explicit e-mails to teenage male congressional pages.
Then there's the child abuse. Former House speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois admitted to sexually abusing boys when he was a high school wrestling coach. Speaking of wrestling coaches, Jim Jordan of Ohio stands accused of covering up and failing to report the sexual abuse of minors by the Ohio State University wrestling team's doctor. Jordan was an assistant coach at the time, and several former players say he knew about the abuse and did nothing. And we know about Matt Gaetz, the loud-mouth Florida congressman who the Justice Department is investigating for allegedly sex-trafficking teenage girls.
I could go on, but you get the idea. The beam in thine own eye and all that.
A New York judge has held the contemptible Trump in contempt and is fining him $10,000 a day because he and his lawyers failed to show that they had conducted a thorough search for documents requested in a subpoena by the state's attorney general, Letitia James, who's investigating Trump's shady business dealings.
So you know what this means, right? The ersatz billionaire is going to have to keep hitting up his low- and middle-class supporters for money, and they inexplicably will continue to fork it over. ("Maybe you can go to summer camp next year, honey. Helping that poor President Trump is more important to me. Go play in a puddle.")
