When Comey showed seashells marked “86–47,” that was considered a threat to Trump. But when Trump says Iran should take out American cities—an act that could kill five million Americans—he apparently considers that acceptable. 🤷‍♂️🔄

Great idea, of course. MAGA will have a thousand reasons why it's wrong. But then, they support a pedophile, so . . .

The DHS investigation into Nevada voter fraud has now fallen apart as their initial claim of 16,000 illegal voters has proven to be a 16,000% overestimation - with them admitting to finding ZERO cases of illegal voters

Those of us, who keep our mouths shut when we don't know, have a great deal to say. drwhy.net A theory is an explanation of what causes what and why. Most of the media focuses on the alternative explanations that authorities manufacture to maintain their agenda.

If you're weighing Jamaica against alternatives for personal travel, gay-friendlier Caribbean options generally cited include Puerto Rico, the Dutch side of Sint Maarten, Curaçao, and the Bahamas (with similar caveats but a better track record), plus places like the Riviera Maya in Mexico.

— same-sex couples holding hands or otherwise being visibly affectionate in public draws real risk in a way it wouldn't in, say, most of the rest of the Caribbean. Responsible Travel's LGBT guide is fairly blunt about it, suggesting couples who want to openly celebrate pick a different destination.

GoodDon @gooddon.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Practically, most guides say the resort bubble is the exception: all-inclusive areas around Negril and Montego Bay are used to foreign LGBTQ guests and are generally fine, but the advice is to stay low-key once outside them

GoodDon @gooddon.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
The U.S. State Department's Jamaica advisory (currently Level 2 – Exercise Increased Caution, updated June 2026) specifically flags these risks for LGBTQ travelers and points people to its Gay and Lesbian Travelers page.

GoodDon @gooddon.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
The bigger issue is social attitudes rather than the statute itself. A 2023 national survey found 83% of LGBT Jamaicans had experienced violence tied to prejudice, and there's well-documented mob violence, "corrective rape" targeting lesbians, and discrimination in housing and employment.

In practice, prosecutions for consensual private conduct are rare — the U.S. State Department notes the law is mostly enforced in cases involving minors — but the law still gets used as leverage for extortion and occasional arbitrary detention.

GoodDon @gooddon.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
The legal picture: Jamaica still criminalizes sex between men under a colonial-era "buggery" law (up to 10 years imprisonment), and a constitutional "savings clause" has kept it shielded from court challenges despite a 2021 Inter-American Commission on Human Rights ruling urging repeal.

GoodDon @gooddon.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Short answer: no, not really — Jamaica is one of the more difficult Caribbean destinations for gay travelers, and most LGBTQ travel guides recommend looking elsewhere if that's a priority for the trip.

On the other hand, the choice of Hegseth is disasterous for MAGA. He's a terrible speaker. He's sleazy - even by their standards. And he has zero backing by other MAGA elites. But then . . .

With the news that the Pentagon is hiring "influencers" to sway public opinion toward Pete Kegs . . . er . . . Hegseth, one has to wonder - Is Hegseth the MAGA Heir-Apparent? On the one hand, his choice makes perfect sense: He uttterly embodies MAGA. And what he lacks, he will gladly adopt. 1/2
