The Tennessee Conservative [By Jason Vaughn] –

Legislation that would ban adult performers from performing drag shows for minors has been placed on the calendar for the House Finance, Ways, and Means subcommittee

House Bill 0030 (HB0030), sponsored by Representative Clay Doggett (R-Pulaski-District 7), was filed for introduction on January 5 and has since been scheduled for consideration by the committee on February 22. 

The bill’s co-prime sponsors are Republican Representatives Susan Lynn and Monty Fritts.

As introduced, the bill requires a person to obtain a valid entertainer permit from the adult-oriented establishment board, in those jurisdictions with a board, prior to performing adult cabaret entertainment for compensation; prohibits public, private, and commercial establishments from allowing persons under the age of 18 to attend a performance featuring adult cabaret entertainment. – Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 51.

The bill defines, but does not limit, “adult-oriented establishments” as “an adult bookstore, adult motion picture theater, adult mini-motion picture establishment, adult cabaret, escort agency, sexual encounter center, massage parlor, rap parlor, and sauna.”

The companion Senate Bill 0841 (SB0841) is sponsored by Senator Joey Hensley (R-Hohenwald-District 28). It has been referred to the Senate State and Local Government Committee but has not yet been placed on that calendar.

    Biden’s are clearly unregistered foreign agents, compromised for sure, answer the question how can you received millions of dollars from our adversaries to do what and why.. where are those copies of those 150 checks large amount checks the Biden family received sent in by International bankers for criminal review? Were those incomes reported? Were taxes reported on that money? Why were these checks even paid to the Biden???
