Best Clinic, a small chain of private medical centres in Moscow, said in an advert on its website that it carried out "female circumcision" on girls aged between five and 12, the Russian language online newspaper Meduza said on Tuesday. Meduza published screenshots of the advert, which Best Clinic has since removed from its website...The Prosecutor General's Office was not immediately available to comment. The health ministry declined to comment, saying that female circumcision is not a medical procedure and is not in their competence...The World Health Organization says about 200 million women and girls worldwide have undergone FGM, which can cause chronic pain, infertility and death from blood loss and infection.

Sadly, that’s been very common in Russia, too.

Yes, a federal judge wrote that a law against such mutilation is unconstitutional, but here’s the good news. With the Senate win in Mississippi, we’ll have a 53-47 Republican Senate and maybe even a greater majority in the Senate Judiciary Committee with a possible change in the Committee. So the next Supreme Court appointment may be much easier.

[There I go, though, thinking like a buzzard again. Shame, shame,...]

Strange that the rule—identified as a disqualifying consideration for immigration during the Clinton years from the President know for abusing cigars with a vagina—would be contrary to the Constitution.

Then it’s a good thing my daughters don’t live in Russia.

“I think we are entering a new dark age of barbarism.”

Looks like it. Between muzzies and proggies and trannies, it’s dark.

Is America full of mental/emotional dry tinder, ready for a spark to ignite it into wildfire?
