Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver: Buying Girl Scout Cookies ‘Promotes Sexual Promiscuity’
The founder of a conservative Christian ministry and legal counsel which represented Kim Davis has urged his followers to stop buying cookies from the Girl Scouts, claiming it “promotes abortion and sexual promiscuity to innocent girls.” Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) was founded over a century ago in Savannah, Georgia, and was chartered by Congress…

Get your messages seen and keep up on your chats
Get your messages seen and keep up on your chats
With Skype now available across all your devices, you can seamlessly move from the web, desktop, and mobile to pick up a chat right where you left off. Skype chat also comes with some handy features to get your messages seen and keep you on top of your chats.
Make sure important messages are seen
In a Skype chat there are several ways you can call attention to important messages by surrounding a word or phrase with special characters:
- Bold—Surround your word or phrase with *asterisks* to add a bold emphasis.
- Italics—Use _underscores_ to format your word or phrase in italics.
- Strikethrough—A pair of ~
tildes~ will strike out a word or phrase.
You can also start a message with two exclamation points (!!) followed by a space to convert the font to monospace and give your message an old-school, typewriter look.
Use parentheses to turn text into an emoticon—such as (smile) (think) (happy)—without having to open the emoticon picker. We even put together a list of Skype emoticons—including hidden ones like (confidential)—which you can explore to expand your pallet of expressions.
For those times you need to bubble up a message and directly respond, right-click or tap a message and select or tap Quote. The message is automatically added to the bottom of the chat with the person’s name and a time stamp from when the message was sent. Just type your response and it will be sent along with the quoted message.
Alternatively, you can right-click or tap a message and select or tap Copy and then Paste at the bottom of your chat without any of the information included when you select the Quote option. Also note that when you copy/paste a message, any special formatting is not carried over.
Stay on top of your conversations
At times a chat can get lengthy—especially if it is a group chat with lots of people chiming in—making it hard to keep up. Other times, you may find that you have sent a message with an error that could change its meaning—like telling somebody you will meet them at 2 p.m. instead of 3 p.m. Thankfully, with Skype you can see who is interacting with the chat and quickly update a message you sent. You can also forward a message to selected contacts or remove a message you no longer want to be part of the conversation.
If you happen to hit send before giving your message a final glance—and you realize you have made a mistake—you can right-click or tap on the chat bubble and click or tap Edit. Just make the change and send—the message will be updated and will now include a pencil icon indicating the message was edited.
You can always see a list of people who have reacted to a message in the conversation—just click the notifications icon at the top of the Skype window to display all your new message reactions.
You can also forward on a message to people who are not in the chat but need the information. Simply right-click or tap the message and click or tap Forward. Next, search and select your contacts who you want to forward message to and then click or tap Send. You can also select Remove and delete a message from the conversation. (You will be given one last chance to change your mind before the message is permanently removed.)

GLAAD refutes Trump’s roadmap to implement his discriminatory transgender military ban
GLAAD refutes Trump’s roadmap to implement his discriminatory transgender military ban
NEW YORK – GLAAD, the world’s LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today expressed outrage over the Trump Administration’s latest announcement regarding their ongoing efforts to ban transgender soldiers from openly serving in any capacity within the United States armed forces. The fact that this memorandum was dumped late in a Friday night news cycle shows the flimsiness of the argument at the heart of this blatant excuse for discrimination.
“President Trump has made a continuous effort to attack LGBTQ people and erase us from the fabric of our country, and the proposed transgender military ban is perhaps his cruelest and most egregious campaign,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD. “The majority of Americans support transgender military inclusion which has been proceeding seamlessly since it was first implemented, so we are left to assume that the Trump Administration’s intention here is solely to stoke the fires of bias and hatred in this nation.”
In four different challenges, federal courts have blocked Trump’s ban on open transgender military service from going into effect, declaring it likely to be unconstitutional. President Trump and Secretary of Defense Mattis’ efforts to modify the implementation of this discriminatory policy does not make it any less unconstitutional.
Purging skilled and qualified military personnel runs counter to the support of the majority of Americans in all fifty states who believe transgender people should be allowed to openly serve in the U.S. military. Even Secretary of Defense Mattis has been on record supporting open transgender service and personally lobbied against Rep. Hartzler’s July 2017 amendment which would have barred healthcare access to transgender military personnel.
According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, there are currently over 15,000 transgender Americans currently serving in the United States armed forces. This proposed ban is part of a pattern of hateful and targeted erasure of the transgender community that the Trump Administration has carried out, which includes rescinding guidance on how our nation’s schools should treat transgender students equally under Title IX, and most recently, arguing that discriminating against homeless transgender women is somehow justified because they could make others “not comfortable.”

FIRST LOOK. LGBTQ Children’s book Maiden Voyage, from the writers (Jaimee Poipoi, Adam Reynolds & Chaz Harris) behind the also-Kickstarter-funded Promised Land. “In Maiden Voyage, when a fisherman’s daughter inherits a map and joins the crew of a courageous female captain, a bond between them grows into love. Pursuing them on their high seas adventure is a band of pirates, bewitched by a wicked Queen determined to keep her dark secret from surfacing.” It’s available for pre-order here.
LEAKED. Cambridge Analytics Trump victory blueprint! Also, Aleksandr Kogan, the Cambridge University researcher who collected information on millions of Americans through Facebook for Cambridge Analytica, is pointing fingers at whistleblower Christopher Wylie.
NFL. Still investigating gay combine questions…
SEX AND THE CITY. Kim Cattrall manages to hiss at her former castmates while supporting Cynthia Nixon’s run for governor, sort of.
OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL. White House statements don’t mean anything anymore.
I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.

IRAN HACKING. Is Rod Rosenstein’s announcement the latest laying of groundwork for war?
BILLY PORTER: On returning to Kinky Boots in the age of Trump vs. performing in it in the age of Obama: “One night, there was a woman who had a sort of laughing-at-me fit. It was not from a place of laughing with me. It was, I felt, inappropriate. It was right before ‘Not My Father’s Son’ in that bathroom scene. She was alone by herself in such laughter. And I thought, no, we’re not doing that. “
SHOCKER. Peter Thiel helped fund Cambridge Analytica. “Thiel, who infamously supported the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, also happened to donate $1,000,000 in October of 2016 to the Super PAC Make America Number 1 — an organization that paid Cambridge Analytica $231,352 toward the end of the same year, an FEC filing shows.”
NORTHERN IRELAND. Bill legalizing same-sex marriage to go before commons next week. “It will be introduced under the Ten Minute Rule, which allows for an MP to make the case for a new Private Members’ Bill for up to 10 minutes, after which an opposing speech may be made.”
ON STREAMING. Steven Spielberg reveals why he thinks streaming movies don’t deserve Oscars: “But, in fact, once you commit to a television format, you’re a TV movie…you deserve an Emmy, but not an Oscar.”
AMBER ROSE. Model lashes out on Instagram after people call her son “gay” for being a fan of Taylor Swift.
CLUB CUMMING. Alan Cumming’s nightclub under fire for DJs, dancing: “Club Cumming applied as a bar with no live music or DJs,” an SLA representative told Page Six on Wednesday. “The SLA opened an investigation after receiving complaints from the local Community Board that the licensee was not complying and charged the bar with failure to conform on February 23, 2018. Club Cumming can submit an application to change their method of operation to allow for live music/DJs.”
IN HIS POCKET. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bragged to multiple parties that Jared Kushner was “in his pocket.” “What exactly Kushner and the Saudi royal talked about in Riyadh may be known only to them, but after the meeting, Crown Prince Mohammed told confidants that Kushner had discussed the names of Saudis disloyal to the crown prince, according to three sources who have been in contact with members of the Saudi and Emirati royal families since the crackdown. Kushner, through his attorney’s spokesperson, denies having done so.”
A STEFON MOVIE? Not likely.
NEW TUNE OF THE DAY. David Guetta and Sia “Flames”.
FRIDAY FLASH. Breeze.
