…In 2021 #JustinEichorn objected to a bill requiring #Minnesota schools to teach about sexual #orientation & #gender #identity, saying “before you know it, they’ll be reading kids ‘50 Shades of Grey.’ This discussion is better had at a more mature age.”
…Eichorn also co-authored a bill to classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness.
“As a 40-year-old man, if you come … looking to have sex with someone’s child, you can expect that we are going to lock you up,” Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said in the release. “I have always advocated stiffer penalties for these types of offenses … We need our state Legislature to take this case & this type of conduct more seriously.”
OMG
Yesterday, a #Republican state lawmaker in #Minnesota named #JustinEichorn introduced a new bill he coauthored to legally define "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a "mental illness" in the state.
Later in the day, he was arrested. For what, you ask?

Good morning!
Megacycles. Kilocycles.
A beautiful old Collins radio receiver rests in the parking lot at a hamfest in east-central Minnesota. SUV tire for scale.
Old rigs tempt me but I managed to get out of there with only a lariat of coax, a roll of teletype paper, a Johnson Viking t-shirt, and a quarter-inch tip-ring-ring-sleeve to hook up a Morse code key.
I'd never been to a hamfest before! I enjoyed visiting and learning the protocols.
