Congress' QAnoner is already picking fights with her Republican colleagues

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) made a pretty mild statement about the ongoing presidential vote count and President Trump's attempts to hold on to the White House. Incoming congressmember Marjorie Taylor Greene spun it into a show of loyalty to the president.Crenshaw, a frequent ally of Trump, made clear Friday that, perhaps unlike the president, he would accept Trump's potential election loss. But he also called for "investigations" and "the court process" to happen before there's a final call.> It should not be partisan to suggest calmly that investigations occur and the court process plays out. > > Americans need to be sure of the winner and loser. The winners should especially want that.> > — Dan Crenshaw (@DanCrenshawTX) November 6, 2020That's where Greene, a QAnon conspiracy-supporting, newly elected House Republican, came in. She declared in a response to Crenshaw that "Republicans can't back down," and that Crenshaw's "loser mindset is how the Democrats win.""You're a member of Congress now, Marjorie. Start acting like one," Crenshaw shot back.> Did you even read past the first sentence? Or are you just purposely lying so you can talk tough? No one said give up. I literally said investigate every irregularity and use the courts. You’re a member of Congress now, Marjorie.

Glut of pheasants caused by lockdown shooting ban could threaten songbirds, warn conservationists

A glut of pheasants caused by the lockdown shooting ban could impact songbird populations, the RSPB has warned. Countryside organisations have spoken out after the government ruled that hunting and most shooting is unable to continue over the lockdown period. This is because people cannot meet in groups of more than two, or stay overnight to take part in recreational activity, meaning most shoots will be unviable. Tim Bonner, the Chief Executive of the Countryside Alliance, said that woods will be full of the birds as they are unable to be shot. He said there would be "woods full of pheasants released and acclimatised to the wild which will have to be fed and protected until December while every shoot day has to be cancelled. The pinnacle of a year’s work brought to a sudden and complete halt. Their colleagues in Wales and Scotland have been wrestling with their own lockdowns and restrictions, but this is the most serious blow to the countryside since we were released from the first lockdown in the summer." The countryside campaigner added that the lockdown would be a "huntsman’s or gamekeeper’s worst nightmare" because of the kennels full of dogs and woods full of unshot birds. A Natural England commissioned review found that large, dense populations of pheasants can compete with songbirds for food, including seeds and insects. An RSPB spokesperson confirmed to the Telegraph that it is likely heightened pressure will be put on native bird populations because shooters will be unable to reduce the pheasant populations. Martin Harper, director for conservation at the RSPB said: “Every year around 60 million non-native pheasants and red-legged partridges are released into our countryside. This is twice the biomass of all UK’s native breeding birds. “Last month, Defra acknowledged in their response to the legal challenge on releasing gamebirds on protected sites, the release of this huge quantity of gamebirds can have direct and indirect impacts on our environment. What’s more, the number released has been increasing." He recommended the shooting industry spends lockdown improving the environment for Britain's birds, adding: “Sadly, because this is an unregulated activity we do not have a baseline against which we can compare the impact of the forced end to this year’s shooting season. That said, a pause buys time for both the shooting industry to massively improve environmental standards and for governments across the UK to get a better understanding of the impact that gamebird shooting is having on our countryside and end environmentally unsustainable forms of shooting.” Last week, the government confirmed it would be putting in place a licensing system for pheasant releases close to Special Protected Areas, in order to mitigate the environmental damage reports have shown they cause in large numbers. This was in response to a judicial review brought by BBC presenter Chris Packham's wildlife campaign group, and it is likely to affect around a quarter of shoots.

Report on disgraced ex U.S. cardinal McCarrick out Nov. 10: Vatican

The Vatican said on Friday that its long-awaited report into disgraced ex-U.S. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick will be released on Tuesday. Pope Francis expelled McCarrick from the Roman Catholic priesthood last year after a Vatican investigation found him guilty of sexual crimes against minors and adults and abuse of power. The report, which is several hundred pages long, is expected to show how McCarrick managed to rise through the ranks even though his history of sexual misconduct with adult male seminarians was an open secret.
