Kitchen Gadgets!

Reader’s Digest had an article about “the latest” kitchen gadgets and while some were pretty obvious about what they were used for, some were not.  So, I decided to post pictures of 7 of them and you can try to guess what they are for.  Answers at the end.

Ready to go shopping for these items?  They can all be found on amazon according to Reader’s Digest, but I’m sure you can find them elsewhere as well. Here are the answers:

Potato Screws

Ergonomic Citrus Juicer

Garlic Peeler

Cake Tester

Spill Stopper

De-Stemmer (for herbs)

Hamburger Chopper

  1. Morning all!
    it’s about 63* here and just getting light. the hummers came to the windows looking for the feeders so i took them out. the little bee was persistent as i hung the feeders, but the hummers drove it off for now.

    1. Morning, Pat! 61 here, sun coming up now, some low clouds in the west that will probably disappear once the sun is up. Hit 104 here yesterday but low humidity so the a/c only kicked on once or twice. I surprised GT this morning – he was sitting next to the a/c unit and I said good morning from the window directly above his head.

      I put the jelly pans out on the sidewalk – when I put the first one out, it had a coating over most of the bottom. It was half-empty yesterday, when I put the 2nd one out that I had just filled a couple of days before, with at least 1/4″ layer of jelly and a coating of moths. Now, almost half of that one is already gone and most of the first. Those ants/bees/wasps do a good job of cleaning up that stuff! I didn’t want it in my trashcan so I figured I’d try this and it worked!

      As for the hamburger chopper, a fork works quite well, thank you, for browning hamburger. Potato screw – for baking them, I guess, maybe for the grill? And toothpicks work just fine, too! I admit it – I don’t get the spill stopper? How about just using a lid? Beats me how the citrus juicer works, not that I would ever use one anyway! Those 2 were the only ones that confused me.

      1. Morning filly!
        did GT run and hide after you scared him? must have been funny!
        it was so chilly last evening we didn’t have the a/c on or even use a fan to sleep–and the bedroom is the warmest room in the house!
        yeah I don’t get the need for so many gadgets myself–I use a fork too for hamburger.
        I prick my taters before putting them on the grill and they always get done perfectly.
        the spill stopper? that might be something I’d try. hubby cooks fettucini to go with his shrimp and when we cook other noodles, sometimes the pot tries to spill over. I rest a wooden spoon across the top of boiling water and mostly that works. shrug…
        some people–namely my mother–LOVE gadgets

        1. Same with the taters but I poke them with a fork 5-6 times (Mom taught me about poking them when I was growing up) before I put them inside an oven mitt and microwave them. Works great and I don’t have to heat up the house with the oven. I’m into the gadgets for the MW, like my omelet maker – it works perfectly and I’ve got the timing down now. Whisk the eggs and ingredients, pour it into the cooker, MW it for 2-4 minutes (depending on how many eggs), then put the cheese on, fold it over and hook it closed. In a couple of minutes, open it out and flip it onto my plate nicely folded over – voila! I rinse it thoroughly immediately with hot water, before letting it sit for a bit filled with hot/soapy water. Easy to clean!

        2. As for pots spilling over, I just tip the lid on the top enough so the steam can get out and turn the gas down a bit; plus, my pot lids have a steam hole in them.

            1. I have a few hand-me-down and yard sale pans that have older lids – those I have to tip! My favorite skillet is one my friend and roomie, Tom, gave me in VA waaaaay back in the early ’90’s and he got it at a yard sale himself. I was never able to find a lid with a perfect fit so that one is tricky when I’m trying to drain the grease! I would love to have a whole set of these pans but the emblem is worn out on the bottom – it is a steel pan, something along the lines of RevereWare. No matter how badly I burn something, with a little elbow grease and an SOS pad, it always, always, always slicks right up again. You should have seen it after my Sis and I got done cooking liver and onions 4-5 years ago – anyone would have sworn it would never come clean and yet….it is the same as ever. I simply can’t pin down what brand it is.

    It’s been about 48 hours since the Trump Muggy became the most memetic image in American history.

    Let’s take stock of how it has already moved the Collective Mind:

    – Turned Donald Trump into an Outlaw President in a nation quite literally built on the tenets of rebellion, independence, civil disobedience and trail-blazing.

    – Confirmed the Weaponization of the Justice System against anyone who stands against ‘The System.’

    – Confirmed that the Establishment isn’t after Donald Trump because they think he broke OUR laws, but because he broke THEIRS, and because he’s the only thing that stands between us and them.

    – Got Election Fraud back into the public conversation in a major way just as the Scariant COVID-23 Scamdemic is being spun up in an obvious attempt to steal the 2024 Election in the same manner.

    – Seized the Collective Mind by becoming the most bipartisan memetic image in American history, with Trump supporters using it as an emblem and a rallying cry, Anons using it as the culmination of years of projections, theorizing and white-pill delivery, Liberals using it to mock, but accidentally making it MORE viral, and Uniparty Establishment Shills pissing themselves with existential dread when gazing upon it.

    – Ingratiated Trump to a Black American community that already liked him significantly more than the Establishment Uniparty (Democrats or Republicans) was willing to admit by confirming the fact that said Establishment Uniparty hates HIM almost as much as it hates THEM. (We don’t need everyone to love Trump. We only need them to see him as an enemy of their enemy. Mission accomplished.)

    – Set the stage for the Trial of the Century while lending credence to the Disclosure Defense strategy.

    Remember … Donald Trump v The Establishment isn’t overshadowing or distracting FROM his 2024 Presidential Campaign.

    It IS his Campaign.

    And it just got supercharged.

    Deranged Jack Smith & his team of Thugs, who were caught going to the White House just prior to Indicting the 45th President of the United States (an absolute No No!), have been working on this Witch Hunt for almost 3 years, but decided to bring it smack in the middle of Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent’s campaign against him. Election Interference! Today a biased, Trump Hating Judge gave me only a two month extension, just what our corrupt government wanted, SUPER TUESDAY. I will APPEAL!

    The rule of law has been crushed in America, and it is almost pointless to think the left will change course to correct the two justice systems we clearly now have in America.

    This is being done all while the @GOP
    stands frozen in their pathetic establishment stance doing MSM and cable news interviews telling us how hard they’re “considering” taking action.

    Please stop with the patronizing of American citizens. We are not stupid!

    Even the candidates stand there during a debate speaking out loud like anyone cares what any of them think…especially when they speak of such idiocy as to whether they will consider a pardon for @realDonaldTrump
    . What they should say is the egregious and unlawful attacks against him should immediately cease.

    And how dare they speak as though we are experiencing a “politics as usual” period in American history. What is transpiring across American culture & transfiguring American politics is most definitely not normal.

    We’re experiencing a historic and global shift of epic dimensions w/ grave consequences. A global alliance is clearly forming against America and yet, we still stand as the true North Star, shining a bright light on the human birthright of freedom.

    Freedom for our families, for our country and for all of humanity.

    In our DNA is the very essence of freedom. A DNA that these same globalists are working overtime to modify. Science is not the problem, their lack of power over our fierce and independent and very patriotic American attitudes is their problem—and they know it.

    I’ll end this here, but after traveling across the nation for the past two weeks meeting seriously great and God-fearing American patriots who have yet begun to truly stand for our homeland, I write this missive for everyone of you—thank you for inspiring me and my family. We stand with you and we will keep pushing my message of local action.

    Local action is the way for everyone who cares deeply about our children and all future generations to respond. Take action by standing up, stepping up and speaking up.

    Everyone who cherishes freedom over tyranny needs to get involved or forever hold your tongues.

    Our nation and our freedom hang in the balance.

    God Bless you all and may God Bless America 🦅🙏🏼🇺🇸

    95.6 percent of robbery suspects arrested in 2022 New York City were non-white.

    89.4 percent of rape suspects arrested in 2022 New York City were non-white.

    98.9 percent of shooting suspects arrested in 2022 New York City were non-white.

    The race/ethnicity of known Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter suspects mirrors the victim population with Black (63.8%) and Hispanic (30.5%) suspects accounting for the majority of suspects. White suspects account for (2.9%) of all Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter suspects while Asian/Pacific Islander account for (2.9%) Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter suspects.

    Maybe they should tell FBI Director Wray and Merrick Garland so they know who is committing all of the crime!

    NEW: I have transcript from today’s hearing before Judge Chutkan and it’s worse than reported.

    Chutkan marveled at Jack Smith’s rapid “discovery” production while downplaying fact DOJ could not name a single case in DC District that went from indictment to trial in 5 months:
    Chutkan confronted John Lauro, Trump’s attorney, about needing longer than 4 months to go thru 12 million+ pages of evidence bc–get this–most of it related to Trump and he must have reviewed it already. Sure, he has all the J6 committee material in his nightstand😂 Image
    Absolutely preposterous. Chutkan, desperate to fast track Trump’s trial, continues to challenge Trump’s lawyer on his need to do his job.

    Chutkan argues that he should have started preparing Trump’s defense A YEAR AGO.

    “Just like any other American,” right, judge?
    Chutkan keeps saying case won’t go to trial in 2026 and grasping for reasons why. She continues to hammer Trump’s lawyer for not reviewing possible evidence related to an indictment that didn’t even exist.

    “It’s not a surprise he’s been indicted.”
    Jaw on the floor. Chutkan continues to scold Trump’s lawyer for not going through unidentified trove of evidence before not-yet issued indictment.

    “You had an opportunity.”

      And there you have it, folks.

      Obama-appointed Tanya Chutkan just compared January 6 to Boston Marathon bombing and 9/11.

      Insulting to the victims and legally illiterate. She isn’t just crooked but painfully stupid. Image
      Also, Judge Chutkan–the surviving Boston Marathon bomber was charged several days after the attack. Not 30 months later.
      A little refresher of who Zacarias Moussaoui is.

      And Chutkan just compared him—as well the Boston bomber responsible for killing 3 people including a child and injuring hundreds—to Donald Trump.

      Trump is charged with obstruction and 3 conspiracy counts.

  11. DEMAND AN ACCOUNTING OF EVERY PENNY OF FOREIGN AID!
    no accounting? not a single penny more!
    why should OUR taxpayer dollars go to purchasing luxury homes for zelensky?
    FTA
    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly purchased a luxury mansion in Egypt. The mansion was bought through his mother-in-law, likely to hide the sale from the public. There is also evidence showing that the ruler used Western war aid money given to Ukraine to buy the property.

    This shouldn’t surprise anyone. This is what the masters do while they jack up inflation and impoverish the slave class in order to create dependence. We all had better stop believing in authority sooner rather than later or this is going to become a major problem for those who are not ruling over others.

    Egyptian investigative journalist Mohammed Al-Alawi initially broke the news following major in-depth research. Al-Alawi also published interviews with sources familiar with the purchase of the luxurious mansion. He disclosed that the Zelensky family acquired a luxury property valued at around $5 million in the Egyptian city of El Gouna.

    Al-Alawi also published documents that prove it was the Zelensky family that purchased the villa. Olga Kiyashko, Zelensky’s mother-in-law, was the one who actually purchased the property for $4.85 million on May 16th. Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska is the daughter of Kiyashko.

    According to analysts, the money Kiyashko used to purchase the property appears to come from Western financial aid packages given to Kyiv. Ukraine has been involved in a war with Russia since February 2022, with many Western nations giving assistance in different forms – be it money or military equipment. –Natural News

    Egyptian political scientist Abdulrahman Alabbassy criticized Zelensky and his relatives for spending fortunes amassed by Western war aid on personal luxuries instead of using Ukraine’s donated riches for military and humanitarian purposes.

    “I am surprised that relatives of top Ukrainian officials began to buy luxury real estate after the start of [the Russia-Ukraine war]. I don’t remember anything like this before,” he said. Alabbassy expressed certainty that Kiyashko’s property purchase in El Gouna “is the result of corruption and the theft of humanitarian aid to Ukraine.”

    No kidding. All rulers are corrupt and Zelensky is no exception. The only option to stop this blatant distasteful behavior is to stop believing others have the right to rule. Government is slavery, and the first step to abolishing it is to stop believing in it.

    Tucker Carlson was called to Washington because of a possible interview with Putin.

    Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said the US National Security Agency hacked into his Signal account and read correspondence about a planned interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    According to the presenter, he received a call and was summoned to Washington to clarify the situation. When he arrived, the question was asked if he was planning a trip to meet with Putin.

    “How did you know, I didn’t tell anyone. Not at all. Not to my brother, not to my wife, not to anyone at all. How did you know? Because the NSA hacked into your correspondence with another person with whom you discussed this,” Carlson said.

    The day before, RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said that Tucker Carlson wants to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

  13. good article–should be shared far and wide to dispel the GREEN agenda—remote towns are being exploited as graveyards for wind turbine blades–which are NOT being recycled–nor are there plans to recycle them. they are being placed in UNPERMITTED DUMPS.

    entire article
    “What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is mine.”

    Sweetwater is a unique place with a special history, dating back to the days before the American settlers; the name of this small town in central Texas is itself, derived from a word of the Kiowa Indians. The Kiowa were a nomadic tribe that often hunted through “Mobeetie” or in English, “sweet water” but eventually, the tribe was brought to heel by a federal military under the command of Ulysses S. Grant, during the conflict known as the Red River War — Grant didn’t get the moniker Mr. Lincoln’s Butcher for nothing!

    Speaking of subjugation … from an article out at Texas Monthly four days ago:

    Officials in Sweetwater say an out-of-state company has made their town a dump for the seldom-seen trash created by renewable energy.

    Sweetwater has unwittingly become home to what is possibly the world’s largest collection of unwanted wind turbine blades.

    For anyone who doesn’t already know, wind turbine blades at this point in time, can’t be recycled, so ordinarily, these expired blades wind up in landfills. According to a study published in June of this year in the Scientific Reports journal, around 2.4% of turbine blades must be decommissioned every year, and per the United States Geological Survey, there are more than 70,800 wind turbines registered in the country. So, assuming each turbine has three blades on it, that means that roughly 5,100 blades every year, just in the U.S., become literal garbage (although arguably, they always were). Blades can weigh anywhere from 5,200 pounds each, to as much as 27,000 — that makes for between 27 million and 138 million pounds of trash bound for landfills annually.

    Back to Sweetwater. In 2017, a Washington-state company called Global Fiberglass Solutions came along, promising an exciting new way to repurpose the blades, and since then, GFS has been dumping the blades in the far-off land of Texas. According to the Texas Monthly article, the managing director himself admitted that only a fraction of the stockpile had ever been “recycled.”

    Also from the article was the testimony of Pamala Meyer, a resident of Sweetwater:

    When forklifts deposited the first of these in a field behind the apartment complex where Pamala Meyer lives … she wasn’t initially bothered. But then the blades … kept coming. Each was cut into thirds, with each segment longer than a school bus. Thousands arrived over several years, eventually blanketing more than thirty acres, in stacks rising as high as basketball backboards. Every few dozen feet, a break among the stacks leads into an industrial hedge maze.

    I assumed the “eyesore” turbines couldn’t look worse than when they were erect and functioning, but boy was I wrong! This is an old X (formerly Twitter) post, which shows you how long this has been a problem for the people of Sweetwater:

    Down in lil ole Sweetwater, Texas, they have their own wind blade graveyard with more than a thousand blades sitting plum next to the town cemetery.

    — SRSrocco Report (@SRSroccoReport) August 22, 2021

    But the green aristocrats can’t be bothered with the concerns of the little guy, they’re on a mission to save humanity! (The irony is painful.) Lastly:

    Sweetwater isn’t the only place Global Fiberglass has stockpiled blades. It has a total of 1,300 in Newton, Iowa, and two other cities in that state, according to the state’s Department of Natural Resources. After an investigation, the agency concluded in 2021 there was no recycling going on, nor was any likely to happen. It declared the company to be running an unpermitted dump.

    A dump. Leftists skirting regulations, contaminating the environment and polluting the landscape, all the make a buck. Classic.

    Walter Bagehot, although not consistently reliable mind given his asinine issues with the U.S. constitution (he denigrated the document as“inflexible” … which was the point), did however accurately articulate what the residents of Sweetwater now experience; he once said, “You may talk of the tyranny of Nero and Tiberius; but the real tyranny is the tyranny of your next-door neighbor.”

    Green aristocrats live and die by exploitation, and nowhere is that more obvious than their approach to policy and civic life; they don’t even have to have political control, their presence in a community alone brings tyranny!

  19. ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Researchers Create Aerosolized COVID Vaccine. Yale University researchers have created a new airborne method of delivery for mRNA vaccines which they believe will radicalize the way people are vaccinated in the near future. Their findings are detailed in a report published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. “In the new report, there is no intramuscular injection,” said Professor Mark Saltzman.

    “We just gave two doses, a prime and a boost, intranasally, and we got a highly protective immune response. But we also showed that, generally, you can deliver different kinds of mRNA. So it’s not just good for a vaccine, but potentially also good for gene replacement therapy in diseases like cystic fibrosis and gene editing. We used a vaccine example to show that it works, but it opens the door to doing all these other kinds of interventions.” – Prof. Mark Saltzman, 2023.

    The news comes at a time when COVID is back in the headlines, with unearthed documents revealing the Department of Defense has spent millions of dollars on new COVID equipment contracts that due to begin in September and October 2023. The issue also raises questions aerosolized vaccines being deployed without people’s consent or awareness. Biotechnologists have argued for years in respectable academic publications that “compulsory moral bioenhancement should be covert”.

    As reported by the National Pulse, mRNA vaccines have been used on pig herds in the US since at least 2018, with only farmers and vaccine manufacturers generally aware of it. The Missouri state senate took up legislation to ensure clear labelling of products containing “gene therapy” technology this year, receiving ferocious attacks from “Big Agriculture” and its representatives in the chamber. The bill was defeated.”

  20. NF: I swear half of them are in my back yard!!!



    “Extinction Rebellion, the radical environmentalists who tried to blockade traffic to counterculture festival Burning Man on Sunday — only to be rammed aside by tribal police — are funded by some of the biggest names in Hollywood, along with an heir to the Getty fortune and outdoor retailer Patagonia.

    The group calls itself part of a “decentralized, international and politically non-partisan movement” demanding climate action — and until now has largely stuck to causing disruption in Europe.
    Under its banner, protesters have superglued themselves to the Speaker’s chair in the British parliament, blockaded busy roads — often by affixing to each other and the asphalt — and even attached themselves to the top of a plane. Allied groups in Europe have vandalized a Walmart heir’s superyacht.

    So here’s the question – how hard would you smack one of these jerkoffs given the opportunity? Or would you go full-tilt closed fist? Juss’ sayin’…”

  21. Filly, did you see this? seems everybody has a body double these days…not sure if it’s true or not–i guess that’s the point—
    FTA
    A Russian political analyst has claimed warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin is alive after his body double was killed in last week’s plane crash – not the Wagner chief himself.

    Prigozhin is ‘alive, well, and free’ in an unnamed country, according to Dr Valery Solovey, even as Russia stages his funeral which Vladimir Putin is refusing to attend.

    The astonishing assertion holds that Prigozhin cheated an assassination bid sanctioned by Putin and drawn up by his security council.

    Prigozhin is now plotting his revenge, says the political analyst, a former professor at Moscow’s prestigious Institute of International Relations [MGIMO], a training school for spies and diplomats.

    Dr Solovey accuses the Russian authorities of lying over Prigozhin’s DNA being found at the crash site in Tver region, while being aware the bid to kill the Wagner supremo had failed because a body double – which the warlord was known to use – got on the plane in his place.

    On August 28 2023 U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan set a trial date of March 4 2024 – https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4174925-12-8-million-documents-of-discovery-shared-in-trump-jan-6-case-prosecutors-say/

    August 28 2023 to March 4 2024 = 190 days. Chutkan has given Trump’s attorneys 190 days to examine 12.8 million discovery documents

    190 days * 86,400 seconds per day = 16,416,000 seconds

    16,416,000 seconds / 12,800,000 documents = 1.28 seconds per document

    1.28 seconds per document – not pages, document – is not adequate time to consume each document, nevermind understand each document and integrate/correlate it with the other documents.

    “There will be no special accommodations for Trump, he will be treated like everyone else. So said Judge Chutkan.” – https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2023/08/28/judge-chutkan-sets-trumps-trial-for-march-4-2024-n574244

    Allowing more than a second to examine a document is not a “special accommodation”. Trump is being treated differently than everyone else: Chutkan is imposing a deadline beyond human capacity.

    “Notting Hill Carnival: Officers bitten, 8 stabbed, and 275 arrests for knife possession, drugs and sexual assault at UK migrant festival; Black youths were filmed running down the streets with machetes at this year’s Notting Hill Carnival”
    August 29, 2023
    editor: REMIX NEWS author: THOMAS BROOKE

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “An annual festival dedicated to promoting the cultural heritage of ethnic minorities who migrated to Britain has yet again been “marred by serious violence,” with eight people stabbed, a police officer bitten, and 275 arrests made.

    The Notting Hill Carnival, held every August in the West London district of the same name, is portrayed as a colorful celebration primarily of the Windrush generation who migrated to Britain after World War II from British territories in the Caribbean. However, the event is regularly tarnished by significant crime, resulting in the Metropolitan Police deciding this year not to release officers for annual leave during the carnival weekend and deploying thousands of officers to the area for an unprecedented police presence.

    The festival has also drawn criticism for its often sexual imagery in the presence of young children.

    In a statement on Tuesday, police revealed that “while the atmosphere throughout the weekend was largely positive, the latter stages of the event sadly saw a series of violent incidents.” These included eight stabbings and 275 arrests for offenses including the possession of offensive weapons, possession of drugs, and sexual assault. A 29-year-old man is in critical condition in the hospital, while a 19-year-old was also hospitalized and remains in serious but stable condition. A further six men aged 18, 19, 20, 25, 28, and 40 were also stabbed during the course of the carnival and sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

    Footage circulated on social media showed a number of Black youths running down the street armed with machetes.

    “Regrettably, there were also further assaults on officers including sexual assaults and an officer who was bitten and was treated in hospital,” the police statement read. “Nobody disputes the significance of Carnival on London’s cultural calendar and the overwhelming majority of those who came will have had a positive experience. However, we cannot overlook the stabbings, sexual assaults, and attacks on police officers that we have seen,” said Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan, who oversaw the policing operation.
    “It is regrettable that for a second year in a row, Monday night at Carnival has been marred by serious violence,” he added.

    The carnival has become notorious for high levels of crime, and police were urged to be extra vigilant after 21-year-old father-to-be Takayo Nembhard was stabbed to death at the event last year. To date, no one has been charged with his murder. Last year, 74 police officers were assaulted, including one female officer who was sexually assaulted after becoming separated from her colleagues. A record number of knives were also seized following 441 stop and searches.”

    “Salvini’s League renews call for chemical castration after spate of high-profile rapes shocks Italy; Repeat rapists and pedophiles could soon be ordered to undergo chemical castration in Italy, following Poland’s lead”
    August 29, 2023
    editor: REMIX NEWS author: THOMAS BROOKE

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Matteo Salvini, the leader of Italy’s co-governing League party, has renewed his call for the introduction of chemical castration for rapists and pedophiles after a number of high-profile sexual assaults on minors sparked uproar across the country. In an Instagram post published last week, the Italian government minister announced his party would soon be tabling a proposed law for the experimentation of chemical castration for sex offenders, insisting there should be “zero tolerance” for those convicted of such offenses.

    “For rapists and pedophiles, whether Italian or foreign, prison and chemical castration,” he added on X. “The League’s bill for the experimentation of chemical castration for rapists and pedophiles will soon be under discussion and I hope approved,” he said in response to the news that two 13-year-old children had been gang-raped by seven individuals, including six teenagers, in the town of Caivano last month. “What a horror… News we should never read. Our hearts go out to the two young girls,” he said. “No clemency for those who lay their hands on women and children.”

    According to Italian media, the victims were cousins and had been lured to an abandoned storage building at Parco Verde in the town by a group of males before being attacked. They reported the incident to the authorities, who conducted an investigation in August and were able to identify and arrest the adult suspect alleged to have been involved. It is understood that the girls have since been removed from their homes by social services and taken into care.

    The story shocked Italy and led to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announcing on Monday that she would visit Caivano at the invitation of local parish priest Don Maurizio Patriciello. It is the latest in a string of high-profile cases and followed the gang rape of a 19-year-old woman by several young men in Palermo on July 6. The events have elicited a response from Italian lawmakers, particularly from the League, which has vowed to do what it can to clamp down on such attacks.

    Under Salvini’s plan, a judge could order the commencement of medical treatment for pedophiles and for rapists in the cases of repeat offenders. Chemical castration would also be offered to any sexual offender on a voluntary basis who wished to show the court they are willing to change and demonstrate remorse. Voluntary chemical castration is already available in 13 EU member states, but Poland is the only European country to introduce mandatory chemical castration for some rapists and pedophiles following the passing of legislation back in 2009.

    In the other countries, it is voluntary for repeat offenders who, in addition to serving the sentence for the serious crime committed, agree to be treated,” said Justice Secretary Andrea Ostellari, a member of the League. “Women’s safety, prevention of new crimes, and care for subjects who, declared dangerous by the judges, undergo a process: these must be the objectives when it comes to one of the most heinous and violent crimes,” he added.

    In addition, the League also wants to introduce new measures targeting young offenders, including a “yellow card” for children aged 12 and over that would see offenders summoned to the police station with their parents and warned. For those over the age of criminal responsibility, which in Italy is 14, tougher penalties would be imposed for offenders who refuse to carry out community work, and heavy fines would be levied on parents who are negligent in making sure their children are attending school.”

    1. those raping children should be forced to clean the bathrooms and showers of the murderers in prison.
      they should have to be identified in prison AS child rapists as well…for they need to feel what it is like to be preyed upon

    “Mayor Francis Suarez of Miami, Florida on Tuesday suspended his White House campaign, a week after he failed to qualify for the first Republican presidential nomination debate.

    Suarez, the only major Latino contender for the GOP nomination, is the first Republican presidential candidate to drop out of the 2024 race.

    “I have decided to suspend my campaign for President,” Suarez said in a statement. But he emphasized that “my commitment to making this a better nation for every American remains.”
