Random Daily Banter

A clue that the brand name has maybe only a tangential apocryphal link to the product.

This might be my second clue, in fact.

Perhaps something made in Germany.

Made in China, not in china though, if you see what I mean.

Milo Yiannopoulos, a far-right British political commentator, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Louisiana, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

In a statement on Friday, a DHS spokesperson said that Yiannopoulos was arrested on Thursday at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans international airport (MSY). The spokesperson said Yiannopoulos “legally entered the country” in May 2019, but that “he chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws”.

I've read a rumour that Laura Loomer ratted on him to annoy MTG.

I read that too, seems to be true - apparently they had a very public spat.

Without intending innuendo, he has some interesting positions according to Wiki ... gay, married gay, not gay, a sin to be gay, I'm not gay but my husband is, proud to be straight.

Homosexuality​

In October 2017, Yiannopoulos married his husband in Hawaii. That same month, he came out against the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey, arguing it would violate religious freedom.[106][108][109]

In 2017, Yiannopoulos reiterated his belief that homosexuality is a sin and denounced those (including clergy) who sought to change Church dogma on the issue. "You don't see me disputing the Church's teachings on homosexuality ... I wouldn't dream of demanding that the Church throw away her hard truths just to lie to me in hopes I'll feel better about myself", he said.[110] In August 2019, Yiannopoulos was grand marshal for a straight pride parade in Boston, organised by a group called Super Happy Fun America. The parade was ostensibly to celebrate heterosexuality.[111][112]

In March 2021, Yiannopoulos declared to the LifeSiteNews website that he was an ex-gay and would begin advocating on behalf of improving the public image of gay conversion therapy.[113][114] In June 2021, Yiannopoulos announced that he was fundraising for a gay conversion therapy centre in Florida.

The number of Christians who live in Narnia is quite something.

I didn't see a reference to that - assumed he meant in reference to our ICE detainee.

The headline should have read Scumbag, Grifter detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Just a pity they don't do the same to Fagash.
