I know it’s superficial, but look at that face, of a person who is named (or calls herself) “Peaches.” Do I think she feels any remorse, other than for being caught and having to pay some consequences? No, I do not. I predict she will do it again at her first opportunity. After all, working for a living is “too hard.” ---

I’ve heard both used, but always assumed it should be “homed.” Maybe it’s a regional difference. ---

No. Your assumption is correct. _Honed_ is about sharpening blades (sometimes skills), NOT obtaining precise information about the physical location of an object. ---

Arrested and charged with. Sounds like they have a pretty good case. Here is another outlet for the story that isn’t blocked for users of ad blocking software: > **["Sound of Freedom" funder Fabian Marta arrested for child kidnapping](https://www.newsweek.com/sound-freedom-funder-fabian-marta-arrest-child-kidnapping-1817498)** > > The 51-year-old Missouri resident was charged in late July, after apparently contributing to the film about child sex trafficking. ---

It makes sense. If you’re a fan of trafficking children, you’d want to fund a movie about it, the way a wealthy Yankees fan might want to fund a movie about Lou Gehrig. ---

Well, folks, I hope you are not in Hawaii because the Westboro Baptist Church, who has been picketing there, said that today, Sunday, Hawaii will be utterly destroyed; I tried putting a link here but was said it could not be here because something or other can’t be embedded. I’ll bet if you Google you can find it. Going to a location to picket is one way these idiots can get a tax deduction for picketing. And since it’s church work, and oh no not a vacation, they can deduct it. At least this time they are actually in the place they say will be a target. ---
