Friday night, Joe Biden surprised high-profile entertainer Elton John with the National Humanities Medal, declaring he is “an enduring icon and advocate with absolute courage, who found purpose to challenge convention, shatter stigma and advance the simple truth — that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.”

Indeed, everyone does deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, until they demonstrate they deserve neither.

Notably, after embracing John, Biden then put his arm around the “gay” advocate and said: “By the way, it’s all his fault that we’re spending $6 billion in taxpayer money this month to help AIDS, fight HIV AIDS.” That curious comment caught John off guard, but it did not get a mention in the Leftmedia’s fawning coverage of the event. The clumsy reference was to Elton John’s collaboration with other entertainers to find a cure starting in the 1980s, when the disease was spreading worldwide in promiscuous homosexual communities.

If you were caught off guard by Biden’s claim “we’re spending $6 billion in taxpayer money this month,” so was everyone else who is still in possession of their mental faculties. Fact is, the total expenditures for AIDS have been $7-$7.4 billion annually for the last three years.

But it was Creepy Joe’s comment earlier in the day that deserves closer examination given his lurid touching and sniffing habits with young girls.

Speaking to a teachers union confab, Biden singled out a female attendee and said: “You gotta say ‘Hi’ to me. We go back a long way. She was 12, I was 30. But anyway…” What?

Creepy. And even more creepy is that his “joke” was received with applause and laughter from the crowd of teachers.

Recall that among Biden’s own disturbed children, in addition to Hunter there is Biden’s sad daughter Ashley, also an addict. Ashley allegedly references in her diary regrets about taking inappropriate showers with her father when she was a little girl.

Creepy, but it follows a Biden pattern. It is likely that his disturbed family is the result of Biden’s own disturbing proclivities.

As an extension of their pathos, Biden and his handlers have been promoting gender disorientation nationwide because undermining faith and families is the most effective way to undermine resistance to their socialist agenda opposing American Liberty.

That accounts for why this week, the federal utility Tennessee Valley Authority was boldly listed as a sponsor of “Pride Week” in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where TVA is based. “Pride Month” was June, but as Nate Jackson noted in July, “The Rainbow Mafia is never done.”

There is nothing new about federal agencies using your tax dollars to promote the Left’s agenda, but what makes TVA’s support of these events notable is that included among them are numerous “family friendly” venues targeting vulnerable children with gender confused grooming.

This past weekend, there was Friday’s “Youth Kickoff Party” and Saturday’s “Youth Day.”

While videos are still emerging from those groomer events, one very disturbing clip was posted on social media by Andy Ngo, a high-profile journalist who is homosexual but who has made a practice of exposing such abuse. Ngo notes that video is from “the Chattanooga Pride youth event at Wander Linger Brewing Company on Saturday shows a child stroking a performer’s groin area and children watching provocative drag dance routines.” The “performer” was dressed as Ariel from “The Little Mermaid,” which confirms the child-grooming nature of this event.

Another video was from the “youth event” at Big Chill and Grill, where young children were encouraged to participate with and tip “drag queens.”

Notably, the attendance was sparse at both venues and the attendees appear to be primarily mothers, all of whom were cheering and none of whom took any action to stop the groin-stroking and other physical interactions.

While similar events were shut down by Memphis, TN police over the weekend, there has been no word from Chattanooga police about the incident. I would suspect that the behavior documented on the videos would at least result in revocation of alcohol service and business licenses.

As for TVA’s disgraceful sponsorship, just more of your hard-earned tax dollars and utility bills at work!

By the way, in case you are confused about why these “festivities” occurred now rather than in June…apparently one month celebrating gender confusion was not enough. While “LGBT Pride Month” is in June, October has now been declared “LGBT History Month.”

We all harbor human brokenness to some degree, but brokenness can be so deep and painful that some choose to burry it in celebration rather than seek resolution.

Finally, what consenting adults do with each other is their business, but the planners of “Pride” events targeting children, and those business venues supporting such sordid events, should be held accountable for their actions.

PS: No small irony that the complaint filed by the FBI J6 whistleblower who was suspended last week, was that he was diverted from his job tracking pedophiles and child pornographers to DoJ’s political hit list.

UPDATE: Our staff reviewed the various reports on this incident including excerpted comments from the Chattanooga city council meeting this week. The council comments serve as a case study of how the local chapter of the rainbow mafia diverted attention from the vulgarity of their sordid events targeting children, and the disturbed parents who exposed children to that vulgarity, by changing the subject. Instead of addressing behavior that all but the most psycho-sexually confused individuals would consider offensive, the event sponsors proffered a blame-shifting pivot, claiming they, not the children, are the victims.

Event coordinator Noah Corbin insisted the objections are “rooted in hate” by homophobic and transphobic “hate groups.” He claimed, “We’re seeing the fear and hate get louder and louder.” Predictably, his “hate” diversion was a dog whistle for some emotionally incontinent council members to pile on. Councilwoman Jenny Hill expressed concern about safe spaces: “Everyone deserves to feel safe in Chattanooga. I would love to think we are past the day where people are in danger for being different.” Councilwoman Demetrus Coonrod was able to stir in some racism: “We ostracize people who are different. The same way that gay people are treated black people are treated.”

Corbin then asserted that there was nothing offensive about the little girl stroking the groin of one “performer” in a video, because that person was “not a drag queen but a biological female,” as if that made it OK. He then noted that the performer “was dressed as Ariel in the Little Mermaid,” further making the case that this was a child grooming event. Ironically, Corbin put forth a binary gender defense to make his case, breaking with the Left’s standard objection to the reality that there are, in fact, only two genders. Furthermore, these “youth” events were advertised as featuring “drag queens” so apparently that female performer must be guilty of some degree of cultural trans-dressing appropriation.

Responding to the objections, Demo Mayor Tim Kelly declared, “Chattanooga is a city that embraces inclusion and diversity” adding that we should “celebrate the many contributions of the LGBTQ+ community and focus on what unites us.” No, kids stroking adult entertainers in bars is not something to celebrate. Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp offered a more appropriate response: “This isn’t hard. Parents shouldn’t take kids to drag shows and business owners shouldn’t host drag shows aimed at children. … These aren’t our values.”
