I don't know of any studies done on that subject, but I do know teacher's unions have sided with and defended teachers, both male and female, who have had illegal sexual relations with students that were under the age of consent. They claim that doesn't make them pedophiles, because the students weren't really young children. Apparently they do not consider the legal age of consent to be the barometer for where the line of pedophilia is ascertained. They still want to have the law define what the meaning of the word "is" is. Why do they want to sexualize kids? Why does evil always try to destroy innocence? This is infuriating.

The divide in this country is unavoidable when ideologies are polar opposites. The desire to find common ground is perfectly normal when the disputes are perfectly normal. But we're not talking about marginal tax rates or trade policy. How are we supposed to find common ground with those attacking the freedom of speech? Do we give up free speech on Tuesdays and Thursdays? Should we compromise the right to be free from unreasonable searches and allow the government to enter our homes whenever it demands? ... The search for common ground is not an appropriate response to a brazen attack on our God-given liberties. Compromising in such circumstances will only make it more likely that we lose those liberties.

You know a Republican politician isn't a conservative when the leftists on this site defend her. Cheney is part of a "Never Trump" political family that has a ton of skeletons in their closet. Trump scares the hell out of them because he vowed to expose all of the corruption that has become the norm in Washington, DC, and Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz are doing everything they can to keep him out of the White House again. This is why Wyoming voters tossed her. They have come to understand exactly what she has been doing and see her as a threat to America, not a patriot. She has never supported Trump, or any of his policies. She's been working against him, and all of the voters in Wyoming, since Trump was elected. She will not be the last "Never Trump RINO" to be tossed out by the GOP. This is a purge of faux conservatives that has been coming for a long time.

That would seem to indicate the numbers of these animals is way up, consequently adding to the number of turkey being way down.

Too bad we can't throw her out immediately. She's gonna do a lot of damage before she's gone. And don't forget she voted to impeach Trump .... twice.

COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America. ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 5.6%. COSTELLO: That many people are out of work? ABBOTT: No, that's 23%. COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%. ABBOTT: 5.6% Unemployed. COSTELLO: Right 5.6% out of work. ABBOTT: No, that's 23%. COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 23% unemployed. ABBOTT: No, that's 5.6%. COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%? ABBOTT: 5.6% are unemployed. 23% are out of work. COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed. ABBOTT: No, Biden said you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed. COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!! ABBOTT: No, you miss his point. COSTELLO: What point? ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair. COSTELLO: To whom? ABBOTT: The unemployed. COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work. ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed. COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment? ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely! COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work? ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise, it would be 23%. COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number. ABBOTT: Two ways is correct. COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job? ABBOTT: Correct. COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job? ABBOTT: Bingo. COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work. ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a Democrat. COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said! ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like Biden.

This explains a lot.

Wild turkey populations hit a historic high nationwide in 1995, but have dwindled slowly since. Why? https://www.nrafamily.org/content/5-reasons-american-wild-turkeys-are-declining/
